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.
Moreover, brethren, I make known unto you The joyful message, which I myself announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye 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.
Through which also ye are being saved, —if ye hold fast, with what discourse, I announced the joyful message unto you; unless indeed, in vain, ye believed.
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 unto you, among the first things, what also I received: —how 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 hath been raised, on 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 appeared unto Cephas, then, to 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 appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, —of whom, the greater number, remain until even now, but, some, have fallen asleep, —
7 Hat hoi, Jem koe a kamnue.
After that, he appeared unto James, then, unto 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.
And, last of all, just as if unto the unseasonable birth, he appeared, even unto me;
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, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly 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 favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void, —but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God with me.
11 Kai ni hai ahnimouh ni hai het doeh a pâpho awh. Het doeh ka yuem awh.
Whether therefore, I, or, they, thus do we proclaim, and, thus did ye believe.
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.
Now, if, Christ is proclaimed, that, from among the dead, he hath been raised, how say some, among you—resurrection of the dead, there is none?
13 Duenae koehoi boutthawnae awmhoeh pawiteh, Khrih hai duenae koehoi thaw van mahoeh.
But, if, resurrection of the dead, there is none, not even Christ, hath 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, hath not been raised, void, after all, is our proclamation, void also, our 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.
And we are found, even false-witnesses of God, because we have witnessed respecting God, that he raised the Christ, —whom he did not raise, if, indeed, after all, 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, not even Christ, hath 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 hath not been raised, to no purpose, is your faith, yet, are ye in your sins!
18 Telah pawiteh Khrih thung kaip tangcoungnaw hai kahmakata awh toe.
Hence also, they who are fallen asleep in Christ, are lost:
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, in Christ, we have hoped—and that is all, we are, of all men, most to be pitied.
20 Atuteh Khrih duenae koehoi a thaw katang toung dawk kaipnaw thung dawk aluepaw lah ao.
But, now, hath Christ been raised from among the dead, —a firstfruit of them who have fallen asleep;
21 Hatdawkvah duenae teh tami buet touh koehoi a tho, boutthawnae hai tami buet touh dawk hoi a tho van,
For, since indeed, through a man, came death, through a man, also cometh the raising 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, just as, in the Adam, all die, so, also, in the 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 rank: —A firstfruit, Christ, after that, they who are the Christ’s, in his presence,
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.
Afterwards, the end—whensoever he delivereth up the kingdom unto his God and Father, whensoever he shall bring to nought all rule and all authority and power;
25 A tarannaw pueng a khok rahim a hruek hoehroukrak Khrih ni a uk han.
For he must needs reign, until he shall put all his enemies under his feet:
26 A hnuktengpoung e taran tie duenae teh poutnae koe ka phat han.
As a last enemy, death, is to 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 put, all things, in subjection under his feet. But, whensoever it shall be said—all things are in subjection!—it is evident that it means, —Except him who did put into subjection, unto him, the all things—
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.
But whensoever have been put into subjection, unto him, the all things, then, the Son himself, [also] shall be put in subjection unto him who put in subjection, unto him, the all things, —that, God, may be, all things 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.
Else, what will they do, who are being immersed in behalf of the dead? If, not at all, are the dead to be raised, why are they even being immersed in their behalf?
30 Maimouh hai bangkongmaw hnintangkuem runae kâhmo a vaw.
Why also are, we, running into peril every hour?
31 Hmaunawnghanaw maimae Bawipa Khrih Jisuh thung nangmouh kecu ka coe e kâoupnae lahoi hnintangkuem ka due telah ka dei.
Day by day, am I dying!—Yea! by your own boasting, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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, after the manner of men, I have fought with wild-beasts at Ephesus, what, to me, the profit? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for, tomorrow, we die.
33 Alouklah pouk awh hanh. Tami kahawihoehnaw hoi kamyawngnae lahoi nuen kahawi a rawk thai.
Be not deceiving yourselves, —evil communications corrupt gentle 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.
Wake up to sobriety, in righteousness, and be not committing sin; for some have, an ignorance of God: for shame, unto you, am I speaking!
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? and, with what kind of body, do they come?
36 Na pathu maw. Na patûe e cati ni dout hoehpawiteh hring mahoeh.
Simple one! What, thou, sowest, is not quickened, except it die;
37 Na patûe nah a kung na patûe hoeh. Catun nakunghai, cang nakunghai, a mu roeroe doeh na patûe awh.
And, what thou sowest, not the body that shall come into existence, dost thou sow, but a naked kernel—if it so happen, of wheat, or of any of the rest, —
38 Cathut ni a ngainae patetlah a kung a paw sak. Cati pueng hai amamouh phun patetlah a kung a paw sak.
Howbeit, God, giveth it a body, as he pleased, and, unto each of the seeds, a body of its own.
39 Moi pueng koung kâvan hoeh. Tami moi alouk, moithangnaw e moi alouk, tanga moi alouk, tava moi alouk, alouklouk lah ao awh.
Not all flesh, is the same flesh; but, one, indeed, is, [the flesh] of men, and, another, the flesh of beasts, and, another, the flesh of birds, and, another, of fishes;
40 Kalvan tak ao teh talai tak hai ao. Hatei, kalvan tak e bawilennae phun louk, talai e bawilennae hai phun louk lah ao.
And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies, —but, of one kind, indeed, is the glory of the heavenly, and, of another kind, is the glory of the earthly; —
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.
One, is the glory of a sun, and, another, the glory of a moon, and, another, the glory of stars, —nay! star from star, differeth 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.
Thus, also 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 dishonour, 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 a body of the soul, it is raised a body of the spirit; if there is a body of the soul, there is also of the spirit: —
45 Cakathoung ni, apasueke tami Adam teh kahring e lah ao. A hnukteng e Adam teh kahringsakkung Muitha doeh.
Thus, 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.
Howbeit, not first, is the [body] of the spirit, but that, of the soul, —afterwards, that of the spirit.
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 ground, earthy, the second man, is, of 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 man of earth, such, also, the men of earth, and, as, the man of heaven, such, also, the men of heaven;
49 Maimouh teh vaiphu tami e meilam sin e patetlah kalvanlae meilam hai sin van awh han.
And, even as we have borne the image of the man of earth, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.
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.
And, this, I say, brethren, —that, flesh and blood, cannot inherit, God’s kingdom. Neither doth, corruption, inherit, incorruption.
51 Hrolawk na dei pouh han, maimouh pueng koung ip a mahoeh.
Lo! a sacred secret, unto you, do I declare: —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, during the last trumpet; for it 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 must needs clothe itself with incorruptibility, and this mortal, clothe itself, with 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.
But, whensoever, this mortal, shall clothe itself with immortality, then, shall be brought to pass the saying that is written—Death hath been swallowed up, victoriously;
Where, O death, is thy victory? Where, O death, is thy sting? (Hadēs g86)
56 Duenae sue teh yon doeh. Yon thaonae teh kâlawk doeh.
Now, the sting of death, is, sin, and, the power of sin, is, the law; —
57 Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih dawk hoi, maimouh tânae na ka poe kung, Cathut teh pholen awh.
But, unto God, be thanks, who is giving unto 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.
So, then, my beloved brethren, —become ye, steadfast, immovable, superabounding in the work of the Lord, at all times; knowing that, your toil, is not in vain in the Lord.
