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.
Moreover, brethren, I declare anew to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye received, and wherein ye 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 ye are saved, if ye hold fast the same word which I preached to you, unless ye 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 I delivered to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
4 phyi awh pup uhy, Cakciim ing ak kqawnnaak amyihna am thum nyn awh tho tlaih hy,
and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
5 cekcoengawh Piter ingkaw thlanghqa hlaihih a venawh dang pek khqi hy.
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to 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.
After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.
7 Cekcoengawh Jacob a venawh dang pe nawh, ceityihkhqi venawh awm dang pek khqi bai hy,
After that, he appeared to James; then to 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 to one born out of due time, he appeared also to me.
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, one 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 his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Kai ingawm a mingmih ingawm, ve ni ka mik khypyi nawh, veni ka mik cangnaak hy.
Whether, then, it were I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye believed.
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?
But if Christ be preached that he hath risen from the dead, how is it that some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Thlakthi thawh tlaihnaak ama awm mantaw, Khrih awm thihnaak awhkawng am tho voel lawt ti kaw.
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ hath not risen;
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 hath not risen, then is our preaching 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.
And we are also found false witnesses concerning God; because we testified concerning God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up, if so be that 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, then Christ hath not risen;
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 hath not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins;
18 Cedawngawh Khrih awh amik ipkhqi awm qeng hawh kawm uh.
then also they that have fallen asleep 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 men most miserable.
20 Cehlai Khrih taw thihnaak awhkawng a thawh tang tang hawh dawngawh, anih ce ak ipkhqi aham thaihcyk na awm hy.
But now hath Christ risen from the dead, the first-fruits of them that have fallen asleep.
21 Ikawtih thihnaak taw thlang pynoet awhkawng law nawh, thawh tlaihnaak awm thlang pyoet awhkawng law lawt hy.
For since through man came death, through man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Adam awh thlang boeih a thih amyihna, Khrih awh thlang boeih hqing lawt hy.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ will all 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 every one in his own order; Christ the first-fruits, afterward they that are Christ's, at his coming.
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.
Then will be the end, when he delivereth up the kingdom to God, the Father, when he shall have destroyed all dominion, and all authority, and power.
25 A qaalkhqi boeih boeih a khawk kaina a taak hlan dy taw boeimangnaak ce ta kaw.
For he must reign, “till he hath put all enemies under his feet.”
26 A hukhit na a him hly kawi qaal taw thihnaak veni.
The last enemy, death, will be destroyed;
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 put all things under his feet.” But when it is said that all things have been put under him, it is manifest that he who put all things under him is excepted.
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.
And when all things have been put under him, then will also the Son himself become subject to him that put all things under him, 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?
If it be not so, what are they doing, who are baptized for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them?
30 Ningmih ingtaw, ikaw ham myngawi awh kqih awm khuikha ni huh uh?
Why also do we stand in peril 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.
I protest, brethren, by my glorying in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily.
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 with the views of men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead rise not, “let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.”
33 Thlang ing ni sawi khqi thawlh hau kaw: Thlak leek am ing khawboek leek hqe hy ka ti koe noek”
Be not deceived; “evil communications corrupt good manners.”
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.
Awake, as is your duty, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God; I say it to your shame.
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 say, How are the dead to rise? and with what body do they come?
36 Qaw hyk ti! Na saw ce ama thih maa awhtaw am hqing saw kaw.
Fool! that which thou sowest is not brought to life unless it die;
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 what thou sowest, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but a bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or of some of the other grains;
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 giveth it a body, as he willed, and to every 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; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, 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 also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly 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, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another 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 also is 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;
it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is 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.
it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. 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 is it also written: “The first man Adam became a living soul;” 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.
But the spiritual is not first, but the animal; and afterward the spiritual.
47 Lammacyk thlanghqing taw dekvai na awm hy, thlanghqing a pakkhihnaak taw khanna kawna awm hy.
The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.
48 Khawmdek thlang taw, khawmdek a koena awm nawh; khan ben thlang taw, khanben thlangkhqi myihna awm uhy.
As was the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly;
49 Khawmdek thlanghqing myi ni lawh lawt amyihna, khan benna kaw thlanghqing myi ce ni lo lawt kawm uh.
and as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
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.
And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor doth 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 –
Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep; but we shall all 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, at the last trump. 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 put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on 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.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass that which is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“Where, O death, is thy sting? Where, O death, is thy victory?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Thihnaak ak chy taw thawlhnaak ni, thawlh ak thaawmnaak taw anaa awi ni.
The sting of death is sin; and the strength 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 giveth 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.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
