1 Korin 15
1 Koeinaakhqi, nangmih a venawh kak khy law pyi awithang leek, nangmih ing hu u tiksaw dyih hun na nami taak ce sim sak tlaih aham ni ngaihnaak khqi nyng.
Now I am calling to your remembrance, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you have taken your stand,
2 Nangmih a venawh kak khy law pyi awi ce ak cak cana na mim tu awhtaw, ce awithang leek ak caming nangmih taw hul na awm uhyk ti. Cemyih am mantaw a hqawng a hqap ni namik cangnaak hly.
by which also you are saved, if you are holding fast the message which I preached to you; unless indeed you have believed in vain.
3 Ikawtih kai ing ka huh ce lamma cyk na nangmih a venawh awipui na ning zaak sak khqi nyng. Cakciim ing ak kqawnnaak amyihna Khrih taw ningnih a thawlhnaak awh thi nawh,
For the very first thing I taught you was that I had myself been taught, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture,
4 phyi awh pup uhy, Cakciim ing ak kqawnnaak amyihna am thum nyn awh tho tlaih hy,
that he was buried, and that he was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures,
5 cekcoengawh Piter ingkaw thlanghqa hlaihih a venawh dang pek khqi hy.
and was seen by Cephas, and then by the Twelve.
6 Cekcoengawh, ce a tym awh koeinaa thlang zanga a venawh dang pek khqi bai hy. Cekkhqi ak khuiawh thlangvang taw hqing hyn unawh, thlang vang bai taw thi hawh uhy.
Afterward he was seen at one time by more than five hundred brethren, most of whom are still alive, but some are fallen asleep.
7 Cekcoengawh Jacob a venawh dang pe nawh, ceityihkhqi venawh awm dang pek khqi bai hy,
Then he was seen by James, then by all the apostles,
8 a hukhit na a tym canawh amak thang, kai a venawh awm dang law lawt hy.
and last of all, as by one born out of due time, he was seen by me also.
9 Kai ve ceityihkhqi ak khuiawh ak zawi soeih na awm nyng saw Khawsa a thlangboel ce ka thekhanaak dawngawh ceityih tinawh khy ham awm am kawih nyng.
For I am the least of the apostles, I who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Cehlai Khawsa qeennaak ak caming kai taw kai na awm nyng, ka venawh a ni peek am qeennaak ve awm a hqawng na am awm hy. A mingmih anglakawh khawzah ngai bibi nyng. Cehlai kai amni, kai a venawh ak awm Khawsam qeennaak ak caming ni.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and that grace of his, bestowed upon me, did not prove ineffectual. I labored more abundantly than all the rest, yet not I, but by the grace of God that is with me.
11 Kai ingawm a mingmih ingawm, ve ni ka mik khypyi nawh, veni ka mik cangnaak hy.
But whether it is I or they, thus do I preach, and thus you came to believe.
12 Khrih taw thihnaak awhkawng tho tlaih hy tice khypyi na a awm hawh awhtaw, ikawmyihna nangmih anglakawhkaw thlang pynoet ing thlakthi thawh tlaihnaak am awm hy, nami ti uh?
If then, we are preaching Christ, that he rose from the dead, how are some of you saying that there is no resurrection from the dead?
13 Thlakthi thawh tlaihnaak ama awm mantaw, Khrih awm thihnaak awhkawng am tho voel lawt ti kaw.
But if there is no resurrection from the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;
14 Khrih ce thihnaak awhkawng ama thawh tlaih mantaw, kaimih ing awi ka mik khypyi ve a hqawng na awm kawmsaw nangmih ak cangnaak awm a hqawng na awm kaw.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, and vain also is your faith.
15 Cedoeng kaana, Khawsa ing Khrih ce thihnaak awhkawng thawh tlaih hy tinawh ka mik khypyi adawngawh kaimih ve Khawsa ak simpyikung zap na awm kawng unyng. Thlakthikhqi a mami thawh voel mai mantaw Khrih awm thihnaak awhkawng am tho voel hy, ti aham awm hy.
More than that, we are detected in bearing false witness against God; because we testified of God that he raised Christ from the dead, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead rise not.
16 Thlakthikhqi a mami thawh voel mantaw, Khrih awm thihnaak awhkawng am tho voel hy.
For if the dead rise not, neither has Christ arisen;
17 Khrih ce thihnaak awhkawng ama thawh voel awhtaw, nangmih ak cangnaak ce kawna awm amang coeng coengawh; nangmih taw thawlhnaak awh awm hyn uhyk ti.
and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain, you are still in your sins.
18 Cedawngawh Khrih awh amik ipkhqi awm qeng hawh kawm uh.
More than that, those who are sleeping in Christ have perished.
19 Ve khawmdek hqingnaak ham doeng Khrih awh ngaih-unaak ni taak mantaw thlang boeih boeih anglakawh qeen ak kap soeih na ni awm kawm uh.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all mankind most pitiable.
20 Cehlai Khrih taw thihnaak awhkawng a thawh tang tang hawh dawngawh, anih ce ak ipkhqi aham thaihcyk na awm hy.
But now, now, Christ is risen from the dead, the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.
21 Ikawtih thihnaak taw thlang pynoet awhkawng law nawh, thawh tlaihnaak awm thlang pyoet awhkawng law lawt hy.
For since by man came to death, by man came also the resurrection from the dead.
22 Adam awh thlang boeih a thih amyihna, Khrih awh thlang boeih hqing lawt hy.
For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23 Thaihcyk na ak awm Khrih ce a law awh, amah a koena ak awmkhqi boeih taw amah a tym a pha awh tho tlaih kawm uh.
But each in his own order; Christ the first-fruits, then those who belong to Christ at his appearing.
24 Cawhtaw a tym a dytnaak ce awm hawh kaw, uknaakkhqi, saithainaakkhqi ingkaw thaawmnaak khqi ce a hqe coeng awhtaw qam ce Pa Khawsa venawh pe kaw.
And then the end, when he shall hand over his kingdom to God his Father, after he has abolished all rule and authority and power.
25 A qaalkhqi boeih boeih a khawk kaina a taak hlan dy taw boeimangnaak ce ta kaw.
For he must rule until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 A hukhit na a him hly kawi qaal taw thihnaak veni.
The last enemy that will be destroyed is Death.
27 Ikawtih amah ing, ti awh ik-oeih boeih boeih Khrih a khawk kaina ak taak peekkung, khawsa amah am paa hy tice ciim hy.
For He hast put all things under his feet, but in that quotation All things are put under him, it is evident that God is excepted, who put all things under Him.
28 Vemyihkhqi a sai coengawh, Khawsa taw soepkep awh soepkep na a awmnaak thai aham Capa ce ak kaiawh ik-oeih boeih ak taak peekkung a venawh peek na awm kaw.
For when everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself shall subject himself to Him who made them subject, that God may be all in all.
29 Thawhtlaihnaak ama awm mantaw, thlakthikhqi aham baptisma ak pekhqi ce ikawmyihna a awmnaak kaw? Thlakthikhqi ce ama thawh tlaih mantaw, ikaw ham cekkhqi aham baptisma huh a ngaih?
Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are really not raised, why are they baptized for them?
30 Ningmih ingtaw, ikaw ham myngawi awh kqih awm khuikha ni huh uh?
Yes, and why am I myself exposed to danger every hour?
31 Myngawi awh kai taw thi poepa nyng – kak kqawn ngaihnaak taw Koeinaakhqi – nangmih ak khanawh Khrih Jesu ningnih a Bawipa awh zoeksang na awm poepa nyng.
Every day I am facing death, my brothers, I affirm it by that pride in you which I have through Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Thlanghqing mi ka ming tuk qu mantaw, ikaw hawihkhangnaak ka huh kaw? Thlakthi a mami thawh voel awhtaw, “Khawngawi awh thih aham ni awm hawh dawngawh, aw unawh taw ni ai mai thaw voei uh”
If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what good does it do me? If the dead do not rise, Let us eat and drink, For we shall be dead tomorrow.
33 Thlang ing ni sawi khqi thawlh hau kaw: Thlak leek am ing khawboek leek hqe hy ka ti koe noek”
Do not deceive yourselves. Evil companions ruin good morals.
34 Nami awm ham ang kawih vaih amyihna hu na voei tlaih unawh taw, koeh thawlh voel uh; Khawsa amak sim thlang vang awm uhyk ti ve – ve ve nangmih namik chahnaak bet aham kqawn law nyng.
Wake up, do justly, cease from sin; for I say to your shame that some of you have no acquaintance with God.
35 Thlang pynoet ing, Ikawmyihna thlak thi ce a thawh tlaih naak kaw? Ikawmyih a pum ing nu a mi awm kaw?” tinawh ni doet mai kaw.
But some one will ask. "How are the dead raised? and with what body are they coming?"
36 Qaw hyk ti! Na saw ce ama thih maa awhtaw am hqing saw kaw.
Foolish man! The seed you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37 Na saw awh a thing ce am ling pahoei hy, caang mai awm ikawmyih am ci mai awm ak ui ni a saw hy.
And when you sow the seed you are not sowing the body that it will become, but bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or some other grain.
38 Khawsa ing ni amah ing ak poeknaak amyihna a thing ce ang coeng sak hy, am ci boeih awh amah a thing amyihna a thing ce coeng sak boeih hy.
But God gives it what body he pleases, and to each kind of seed its own body.
39 Pumsa ve awm myih qu boeih hy: Thlanghqing a pumsa ak chang, qamsa a pumsa ak chang, pha ingkaw nga a pumsa ve ak chang bai ni.
All flesh is not the same flesh; there is human flesh, another of fishes of animals, another of birds, another of fishes.
40 Khan pumsa awm nawh dek pumsa awm awm hy; khan pumsa a boeimangnaak ak chang na awm nawh dek pumsa a boeimangnaak ak changna awm bai hy.
There are both celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial; but the splendor of the celestial is one thing, and the splendor of the terrestrial is another.
41 Khawmik a boeimangnaak ak changna awm nawh pihla ingkaw aihchi a boeimangnaak ak chang na awm hy; aihchi ingkaw aihchi a boeimangnaak awm am myih hy.
There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Cemyihna ni thlakthi thawh tlaihnaak awm a awm hy. Ak thu thai pum ce saw na awm kawmsaw, amak thu thaina tho tlaih kaw;
So it is in the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, It is raised in incorruption;
43 huhsit soeihna saw na awm kawmsaw, ak boeimang soeihna tho tlaih kaw;
Sown in weakness, It is raised in power;
44 khawmdek pumsa na sawna awm kawmsaw, myihla pumsa na tho tlaih kaw. Khawmdek pumsa a awm amyihna, myihla pumsa awm awm hy.
The body sown is animal The body is raised is spiritual. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body.
45 Cemyihna, “Thlanghqing cyk Adam taw thlanghqing na awm hy,” tinawh qee hyt amyihna awm hy; Adam hu khyng taw hqingnaak ak pekung myihla na awm hy.
Thus it is written. The first man, Adam, became a living being, the last Adam, a life-giving Spirit.
46 Myihla pum am awm ma nawh, khawmdek pum ni a awm ma hy, cekcoengawh ni myihla pum ce a awm hy.
Now it is not the spiritual which is first, but the animal, and then the spiritual.
47 Lammacyk thlanghqing taw dekvai na awm hy, thlanghqing a pakkhihnaak taw khanna kawna awm hy.
The first man is of the earth, earthly; the second Man is of heaven.
48 Khawmdek thlang taw, khawmdek a koena awm nawh; khan ben thlang taw, khanben thlangkhqi myihna awm uhy.
Like him who was of earth, are the earthy; and like Him who is of heaven, are the heavenly;
49 Khawmdek thlanghqing myi ni lawh lawt amyihna, khan benna kaw thlanghqing myi ce ni lo lawt kawm uh.
As we have borne the likeness of him who was of earth, so also let us bear the likeness of Him who is of heaven.
50 Koeinaakhqi, thisa ing Khawsa qam am pang thai hy, ak thu thai ing amak thu thai ce am pang thai lawt kaw, tive nik kqawn pek khqi nyng.
I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor can corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Ngai lah uh, awihyp nik kqawn law pek khqi vang nyng: ningnih boeih ve amni ip kawm uh, cehlai hlengna ni awm boeih kawm uh –
Lo, I tell you a secret truth. we shall not all be sleeping, but we shall be changed,
52 cehlai ni cu boeih na ak hukhit uut tum awi ang qeng lawawh mik hqip tawk lek awh hlengna ni awm boeih kawm uh; uut taw qeng law kaw, cawhtaw thlak thikhqi ce amak thu thaina thawh sakna awm kawm uh, ningnih awm hlengna ni awm kaw.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised, incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 Ikawtih ak thu thai ce amak thu thai ing singdah na awm kawmsaw, ak thi thai ce amak thi thai ing singdah na awm hawh kaw.
For this corruptible must be clothed with incorruption, and this mortal must be clothed with immortality.
54 Ak thu thai ce amak thu thai ing singdah na awm nawh, ak thi thai ce amak thi thai ing singdah na a awm awhtaw, vawhkaw awi qee hyt na ak awm: “Noengnaak ing thihnaak daih hawh hy,” ti awi ve soep hawh kaw.
And when this mortal has been clothed with immortality, then will the words of Scripture come to pass, Death has been swallowed up in victory.
Where, Death, is thy victory? Where, Death, is thy sting? (Hadēs g86)
56 Thihnaak ak chy taw thawlhnaak ni, thawlh ak thaawmnaak taw anaa awi ni.
Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.
57 Cehlai Khawsa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh! Ni Bawipa Jesu Khrih ak caming noengnaak ce ningnih a venawh ni pek khqi hawh hy.
But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Cedawngawh, ka lungnaak koeinaakhqi, ak cak na dyi lah uh. Ikaw ingawm koeh ning tah sak khqi seh. Bawipa bi nami bi ve am zoe hy tice nami sim dawngawh, Bawipa bibi ce bi law quiqah lah uh.
So, my brothers beloved, stand firm, immovable, always abounding in work for the Lord, because you know that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.
