1 Kawrin 15
1 Hmaunawnghanaw, nangmouh koe ka pâpho awh e kamthang kahawi, nangmouh ni na coe awh teh na kangduekhai awh e, bout panue sak hanelah na ngaikhai awh.
But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel that I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
2 Nangmouh koe ka pâpho e lawk heh, kacaklah na kuen awh pawiteh, hote kamthang kahawi lahoi nangmouh rungngang e lah na o awh.
by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3 Kai kama ni ka coe e patetlah nangmouh koe ahmaloe na poe awh e teh Cakathoung ni a dei e patetlah Khrih teh maimouh yon kecu dawk a due toe.
For I delivered to you among the first things, that which I also received: That Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 Pakawp hnukkhu Cakathoung ni a dei e patetlah apâthum hnin bout a thaw toe.
and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures;
5 Cephas ni Bawipa a hmu hnukkhu, hlaikahni touh e naw ni hai a hmu awh.
and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve;
6 Hathnukkhu, hmaunawngha cum panga touh hlai koe bout a kamphawng pouh. Ahnimouh thung dawk a tangawn teh atu sittouh a hring awh rah. A tangawn naw teh a i awh toe.
after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till this day; but some have fallen asleep.
7 Hat hoi, Jem koe a kamnue.
After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
8 Hathnukkhu gunceinaw pueng koe a kamphawng pouh. A hnuktengpoung thapa kuep laipalah ka khe e patetlah kaawm e kai koehai a kamnue van.
Last of all, he was seen by me also, as one untimely born.
9 Kai heh, alouke gunceinaw thung dawk kathoengpounge lah ka o teh, Cathut e kawhmoun ka pacekpahlek dawk, guncei ti hanelah kamcu hoeh.
For I am the least of the apostles, and I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Hatei Cathut e lungmanae lahoi, kai teh kai lah ka o. Ka coe e a lungmanae hai ayawmyin ka coe hoeh. Hatdawkvah, alouke gunceinaw pueng hlak kai hoe kâyawmnae ka tawn. Hatei kai nahoeh. Kai dawk kaawm e Cathut lungmanae hoi doeh.
But, by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace, which was bestowed on me, has not been bestowed in vain: but I have labored more abundantly than they all; not I, however, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Kai ni hai ahnimouh ni hai het doeh a pâpho awh. Het doeh ka yuem awh.
Whether, therefore, I or they, so we preached, and so you believed.
12 Khrih teh duenae koehoi bout a thaw toe tie ka pâpho toung pawiteh, bangtelamaw a tangawn ni duenae koehoi boutthawnae awmhoeh na ti awh vaw.
But if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that a resurrection of the dead is impossible?
13 Duenae koehoi boutthawnae awmhoeh pawiteh, Khrih hai duenae koehoi thaw van mahoeh.
But if a resurrection of the dead is impossible, Christ has not been raised.
14 Khrih teh duenae koehoi bout thaw hoehpawiteh, kaimouh ni ka pâpho e ahrawnghrang lah awm vaiteh, nangmouh ni na yuemnae hai ahrawnghrang han doeh.
And if Christ has not been raised, then vain is our preaching, and vain also your faith.
15 Hothloilah kaimouh teh Cathut e thaw dawk kamsoumhoeh e kapanuekkhaikung lah doeh kaawm awh tih. Cathut ni kadout tangcoungnaw bout thaw sak hoehpawiteh, Cathut ni a thaw sak hoeh e Khrih hah Cathut ni a thaw sak toe telah laithoe ka dei e lah doeh awm awh tih.
We are, indeed, also found false witnesses of God; for we have testified against God, that he raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if, indeed, the dead are not raised.
16 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, kadoutnaw boutthawnae awmhoeh pawiteh, Cathut ni Khrih hai thaw sak mahoeh.
For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised;
17 Khrih duenae koehoi bout thaw hoehpawiteh, nangmae yuemnae teh banglahai tho hoeh. Yonnae a rahim doeh na o a rah.
and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.
18 Telah pawiteh Khrih thung kaip tangcoungnaw hai kahmakata awh toe.
Then, also, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Atu hring nahane dueng, Khrih thung ngaihawinae tawn pawiteh, tami pueng hlak pahren ka tho poung la doeh o awh.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.
20 Atuteh Khrih duenae koehoi a thaw katang toung dawk kaipnaw thung dawk aluepaw lah ao.
But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept.
21 Hatdawkvah duenae teh tami buet touh koehoi a tho, boutthawnae hai tami buet touh dawk hoi a tho van,
For, since through man came death, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Tami pueng Adam dawk hoi duenae koe pha awh e patetlah tami pueng Khrih thung hoi bout hringnae koe pha awh han.
For, as in Adam all die, so, also, in Christ shall all be made alive:
23 Hatei a taminaw pueng amamae atueng a pha torei a thaw awh han. Khrih teh aluepaw doeh. Hathnukkhu Khrih a tho toteh a taminaw bout thaw awh han.
but each in his own order; Christ the first-fruit, afterward, those who are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Hathnukkhu a poutnae teh a pha han. Hattoteh Khrih ni uknae pueng, kâtawnnae pueng, hoi bahu pueng apout sak vaiteh, Cathut uknaeram hah Na pa koe a poe han.
Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down every principality and authority and power:
25 A tarannaw pueng a khok rahim a hruek hoehroukrak Khrih ni a uk han.
for he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 A hnuktengpoung e taran tie duenae teh poutnae koe ka phat han.
The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed.
27 Hno cawngca tami Capa e khok rahim a hruek toe telah Cakathoung dawk thut lah ao. Hno cawngca a khok rahim a hruek ti navah, hnocawngca khok rahim kahruengkung ama teh bawk hoeh tie a kamceng.
For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.
28 Hetnaw be a sak hnukkhu Cathut teh a cawngca dawk a cawngca lah ao thai nahan, hnocawngca pueng hah tami Capa e khok rahim ka tat pouh kung e uknae rahim vah Capa ma roeroe hai ao han.
And when all things shall have been put under him, then, also, shall the Son himself be subjected to him that did put all things under him, that God may be the all in all.
29 Kadout tangcoungnaw boutthawnae khoeroe awmhoeh pawiteh, kadoutnaw e yueng lah baptisma ka coe naw bangtelamaw ti han toung. Kadoutnaw e yueng lah bangkongmaw baptisma a coe a vaw.
For else, what shall those do, who are immersed for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why, then, are they immersed for the dead?
30 Maimouh hai bangkongmaw hnintangkuem runae kâhmo a vaw.
And why are we in danger every hour?
31 Hmaunawnghanaw maimae Bawipa Khrih Jisuh thung nangmouh kecu ka coe e kâoupnae lahoi hnintangkuem ka due telah ka dei.
I protest, by the joy which I have over you in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 Kadoutnaw boutthawnae awm hoehpawiteh, Efisa kho tami pouknae sarang taki ka tho poung hoi kâtuknae hai kai hanlah bangmaw aphu kaawm. Cat awh sei, net awh sei, tangtho due a han toe.
If, to speak as a man, I have 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 Alouklah pouk awh hanh. Tami kahawihoehnaw hoi kamyawngnae lahoi nuen kahawi a rawk thai.
Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Lannae koe lah yongvak awh haw. Yonnae sak awh hanh. Taminaw tangawn teh Cathut panuek a hoeh. Hottelah ka ti nah nangmouh kaya nahanelah doeh ka dei.
Awake, as you should, to soberness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
35 Tami tangawn ni, bangtelamaw tami kadout tangcoung e bout a thaw han. Bangpatetlae tak hoi maw a thaw han telah na pacei thai.
But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Na pathu maw. Na patûe e cati ni dout hoehpawiteh hring mahoeh.
Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die;
37 Na patûe nah a kung na patûe hoeh. Catun nakunghai, cang nakunghai, a mu roeroe doeh na patûe awh.
and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 Cathut ni a ngainae patetlah a kung a paw sak. Cati pueng hai amamouh phun patetlah a kung a paw sak.
but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body.
39 Moi pueng koung kâvan hoeh. Tami moi alouk, moithangnaw e moi alouk, tanga moi alouk, tava moi alouk, alouklouk lah ao awh.
All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 Kalvan tak ao teh talai tak hai ao. Hatei, kalvan tak e bawilennae phun louk, talai e bawilennae hai phun louk lah ao.
There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial is another.
41 Kanî e bawilennae alouk, thapa e bawilennae alouk, âsi e bawilennae alouk, alouklouk lah doeh ao awh. Âsi buet touh rip e a bawilennae hai kâvan hoeh.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Hot patetvanlah kadoutnaw e boutthawnae teh ao. Tak teh patûe navah ka pawk thai e lah ao. Thaw toteh ka pawk thai hoeh e lah bout a thaw han.
So, also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:
43 Patûe navah bari awm hoeh. Bout thaw toteh a bawilen. Patûe navah tha a youn, bout thaw toteh bahu a o.
it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power:
44 Pakawp navah talai tak lah a o, bout thaw toteh muitha tak lah ao. Talai tak alouk, muitha tak alouklah ao.
it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 Cakathoung ni, apasueke tami Adam teh kahring e lah ao. A hnukteng e Adam teh kahringsakkung Muitha doeh.
So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
46 Muitha tak ahmaloe awmhoeh. Talai tak hmaloe ao. Hathnukkhu muitha tak ao.
But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 Ahmaloe e tami teh vaiphu hoi sak e talai tami doeh. Apâhni e tami teh kalvan kho hoi ka tho e Bawipa doeh.
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven.
48 Vaiphu hoi sak e tami teh hote vaiphu tami patetlah ao awh. Kalvanlae taminaw teh hote kalvanlae tami patetlah ao awh han.
As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be.
49 Maimouh teh vaiphu tami e meilam sin e patetlah kalvanlae meilam hai sin van awh han.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Hmaunawnghanaw, thi hoi tak ni Cathut uknaeram coe thai mahoeh. Ka pawk thai e ni ka pawk thai hoeh e coe thai van mahoeh.
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Hrolawk na dei pouh han, maimouh pueng koung ip a mahoeh.
Behold, I declare to you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
52 Hatei, a hnukteng e mongka ueng torei teh, tawkkadekca dawk maimouh pueng teh mitpalap vah koung kâthung awh han. Mongka ueng lawk thai toteh kadout tangcoungnaw ka pawk thai hoeh e lah a thaw awh han. Maimouh pueng hai koung kâthung awh han.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 Atu ka pawk thai e ni ka pawk thai hoeh e a khohna han. Kadout thai e ni kadout thai hoeh e a kâmahrawk han.
For this corruptible body must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal body must put on immortality.
54 Ka pawk thai e ni ka pawk thai hoeh e lah, kadout thai e ni kadout thai hoeh e a kâmahrawk toteh, duenae teh tânae ni a payawp toe telah Cakathoung ni a dei e a kuep han.
And when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
O Death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Duenae sue teh yon doeh. Yon thaonae teh kâlawk doeh.
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih dawk hoi, maimouh tânae na ka poe kung, Cathut teh pholen awh.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Hatdawkvah, ka pahren e hmaunawnghanaw, Cathut thaw na tawk awh e aphu a talue poung tie na panue awh dawkvah, na lungcak sak awh. Rawm laipalah Cathut e thaw dawk thapatho nateh panki awh.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; for you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
