1 Corinthians 15
1 And, brothers, I make known to you the good news that I preached to you, which also ye received, and in which ye stand,
Na, me whakaatu e ahau ki a koutou, e oku teina, te rongopai i kauwhautia e ahau ki a koutou, ta koutou hoki i whakaae na, ta koutou hoki e tu na,
2 by which also ye are saved if ye hold firm that word I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain.
Te mea hoki e ora na koutou; ka whakaatu ahau ki a koutou i nga kupu i kauwhau ai ahau ki a koutou, ki te mau tera i a koutou, ki te mea ehara to koutou i te whakapono noa.
3 For I delivered to you at first what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
I hoatu na hoki e ahau ki a koutou i te tuatahi te mea i riro mai i ahau, ara i mate a te Karaiti mo o tatou hara, i pera me ta nga karaipiture;
4 and that he was buried, and that he arose on the third day according to the scriptures,
A i tanumia; a i ara ake ano i te toru o nga ra, i pera me ta nga karaipiture;
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
A ka whakakite ki a Kipa; muri iho ki te tekau ma rua;
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some also slept.
Muri iho ka whakakite ki nga hoa tokomaha ake i te rima rau i te kitenga kotahi, e ora nei ano te nuinga o ratou, ko etahi ia kua moe;
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
Muri iho ka whakakite ki a Hemi; muri iho ki nga apotoro katoa;
8 and last of all, as to the untimely birth, he also appeared to me.
A muri rawa iho ka whakakite hoki ia ki ahau, me te mea i whanau tomuri nei ahau.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Ko te iti rawa hoki ahau o nga apotoro, kahore e tau kia kiia he apotoro, moku i whakatoi i te hahi a te Atua.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. And his grace for me did not become empty, but I labored more abundantly than them all, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
Heoi na te aroha noa o te Atua tenei ahua oku: kihai ano tona aroha noa ki ahau i maumauria; heoi nui atu taku mahi i ta ratou katoa: ehara ia i te mea naku, engari na te aroha noa o te Atua i mahi tahi me ahau.
11 Therefore whether I or those men, so we proclaim, and so ye believed.
Na, ahakoa naku, ahakoa na ratou, ko ta matou kauwhau tenei, ko ta koutou ano tenei i whakapono ai.
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed that he has risen from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Na, e kauwhautia nei a te Karaiti, tona aranga ake i te hunga mate, he pehea te kupu a etahi o koutou, kahore he aranga ake o te hunga mate?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ risen.
Mehemea hoki kahore he aranga o te hunga mate, kihai ano a te Karaiti i ara.
14 And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is empty, and your faith is also empty.
Mehemea hoki kahore a te Karaiti i ara, maumau noa ta matou kauwhau, maumau noa to koutou whakapono.
15 And also we are found false witnesses of God, because we witnessed according to God that he raised up the Christ, whom he did not raise up, if therefore the dead are really not raised.
Ae ra, ka kitea hoki matou he kaiwhakaatu teka i ta te Atua; no te mea ka whakaaturia nei e matou te Atua, nana i whakaara ake a te Karaiti; kihai nei i whakaarahia e ia, ki te kahore te hunga mate e ara.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
Ki te kahore hoki te hunga mate e whakaarahia, kihai ano a te Karaiti i whakaarahia:
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain. Ye are still in your sins.
A mehema kahore a te Karaiti i ara, he mea hanga noa to koutou whakapono; kei roto tonu koutou i o koutou hara.
18 Then also those who slept in Christ have perished.
Me te hunga hoki kua moe atu i roto i a te Karaiti, kua ngaro ratou.
19 If we are men who have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men more miserable.
Ki te mea hei tenei ao anake he tumanako ma tatou ki a te Karaiti, nui atu te pouri mo tatou i o nga tangata katoa.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
Ko tenei kua ara a te Karaiti i te hunga mate, kua waiho hei matamua mo te hunga kua moe.
21 For since death is because of a man, the resurrection of the dead is also because of a man.
Na te tangata nei hoki te mate, waihoki na te tangata te aranga o te hunga mate.
22 For as by Adam all die, so also by Christ all will be made alive.
I roto hoki i a Arama ka mate katoa nga tangata, waihoki i roto i a te Karaiti ka whakaorangia katoatia.
23 But each in his own order. Christ the first fruit, then those of Christ at his coming.
Otiia ko tenei, ko tenei, i tona ake turanga; ko te Karaiti te matamua; muri iho ko te hunga a te Karaiti a tona haerenga mai.
24 Afterwards the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he will abolish all rule, and all authority and power.
Ko reira te mutunga, ina oti te rangatiratanga te hoatu e ia ki te Atua, ara ki te Matua; ina memeha i a ia nga kawanatanga katoa, nga mana katoa, me te kaha.
25 For he must reign until he will put all his enemies under his feet.
Kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia kingi ia, kia meinga katoatia ra ano e ia ona hoariri ki raro i ona waewae.
26 The last enemy abolished is death.
Ko te hoariri whakamutunga e whakakahoretia ko te mate.
27 For he subordinated all things under his feet. But when he says that all things have been subordinated, it is clear that he who subordinated all things under him, is excepted.
No te mea, ka oti nga mea katoa te pehi e ia ki raro i ona waewae. Otira i tana kianga, Ka oti nga mea katoa te pehi ki raro i a ia; e marama ana kua waiho i waho te kaipehi o nga mea katoa ki raro i a ia.
28 And when all things are made subordinate to him, then the Son himself will also be made subordinate to him who subordinated all things to him, so that God may be all in all.
A ka oti nga mea katoa te pehi e ia ki raro i a ia, ko reira hoki te Tama riro ai ki raro i te kaipehi o nga mea katoa ki raro i a ia, kia katoa ai te Atua i roto i te katoa.
29 Otherwise what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?
Penei ka aha te hunga e iriiria ana hei whakakapi mo te hunga mate? Ki te kahore rawa te hunga mate e ara, he aha hoki ratou ka iriiria ai hei whakakapi mo te hunga mate?
30 And we, why are we in peril every hour?
He aha ano tatou ka tu wehi ai i nga wa katoa?
31 By the pride that belongs to you, that I keep in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Na koa taku oati, na toku whakamanamana ki a koutou, e oku teina, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ina mo te mate ahau i ia ra, i ia ra.
32 If in respect to men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what is the benefit to me if the dead are not raised? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
Ha, mehemea ahau i whawhai ki te kararehe i Epeha, pera ana me te tangata, he aha te pai ki ahau? Ki te kahore te hunga mate e ara, e kai tatou, e inu, ko apopo hoki tatou mate ai.
33 Be not led astray. Evil associations corrupt good habits.
Kei whakapohehetia koutou: Ki te kino nga hoa, ka heke ki te kino nga tikanga pai.
34 Sober up rightly, and do not sin, for some have ignorance of God. I speak shame about you.
Oho ake ki te tika, a kaua e hara; kahore hoki o etahi matauranga ki te Atua: i korero ai ahau kia whakama ai koutou.
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body do they come?
Otira tera tetahi e ki mai, peheatia ai te whakaarahanga o te hunga mate? he tinana aha hoki to ratou ina haere mai?
36 Thou foolish man, what thou sow is not made alive unless it dies.
Kuware! ko tau e whakato na, e kore e puta ki te ora, ki te kahore e mate:
37 And what thou sow, thou do not sow the body that it will become, but a bare grain, if it may happen of wheat, or of some other kind.
A ko tau e whakato na, ehara i te tinana e puta ake a mua tau e whakato na, engari he kakano kau no te witi ranei, no tetahi atu mea ranei:
38 But God gives it a body as he wills, and to each of the seeds its own body.
E hoatu ana hoki e te Atua ki taua kakano he tinana, ko tana i pai ai, a ki tenei kakano, ki tenei kakano, tona ake tinana.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but one of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds,
Ehara i te kikokiko kotahi nga kikokiko katoa: engari tera ano to te tangata kikokiko, a rere ke ano to te kararehe kikokiko, rere ke to te manu, rere ke to te ika.
40 and heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies (but the glory of the heavenly is different, and the glory of the earthly is different),
Ko etahi tinana no te rangi, ko etahi tinana no te whenua: otiia rere ke te kororia o nga mea o te rangi, rere ke to nga mea o te whenua.
41 another glory is of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory.
He kororia ke to te ra, he kororia ke to te marama, he kororia ke hoki to nga whetu: na poka ke te kororia o tetahi whetu i to tetahi whetu.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in the perishable, it is raised in imperishability.
He pera ano te aranga o te hunga mate. E whakatokia pirautia ana; e whakaarahia piraukoretia ana:
43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
E whakatokia honorekoretia ana; e whakaarahia kororiatia ana: e whakatokia ngoikoretia ana; e whakaarahia kahatia ana:
44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
E whakatokia ana he tinana maori; e whakaarahia ana he tinana wairua. Mehemea tera he tinana maori, tera ano hoki he tinana wairua.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam developed into a living soul. The last Adam a life giving spirit.
He penei hoki te mea i tuhituhia, Ko te tangata tuatahi, ko Arama, i meinga hei tangata ora; ko te Arama whakamutunga ka waiho hei wairua whakaora.
46 Nevertheless the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.
He ahakoa ra ehara te mea wairua i te tuatahi, engari te mea maori; no muri te mea wairua.
47 The first man was of the earth, earthly. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
Ko te tangata tuatahi no te whenua, he mea oneone: ko te tangata tuarua no te rangi.
48 As is the earthly, such also are the earthly. And as is the heavenly, such also are the heavenly.
Ko nga mea oneone rite tonu ki te mea oneone; ko nga mea o te rangi rite tonu ki te mea o te rangi.
49 And just as we have worn the form of the earthly, we will also wear the form of the heavenly.
Na, kua mau nei ki a tatou te ahua o te mea oneone, waihoki ka mau ano ki a tatou te ahua o to te rangi.
50 Now this I affirm, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit imperishability.
Ko taku korero tenei, e oku teina, e kore e tau kia riro te rangatiratanga o te Atua i te kikokiko, i te toto; e kore ano te piraukore e riro i te pirau.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will actually not all sleep, but we will all be transformed,
Na, he mea huna tenei ka korerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou. E kore tatou katoa e moe, engari e whakaahuatia ketia tatou katoa;
52 in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For it will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be transformed.
E kore e aha, kimo kau te kanohi, i te tetere whakamutunga: e tangi hoki te tetere whakamutunga: e tangi hoki te tetere, a e whakaarahia nga tupapaku, he mea piraukore, a ka whakaahuatia ketia tatou.
53 For this perishable must put on imperishability, and this mortal put on immortality.
Kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia kakahuria te piraukore e tenei pirau, kia kakahuria hoki te matekore e tenei hanga matemate nei.
54 But when this perishable will have put on imperishability, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory.
Heoi ka oti tenei pirau te whakakakahu ki te piraukore, me tenei hanga matemate nei te whakakakahu ki te matekore, ko reira rite ai te korero i tuhituhia, horomia ake te mate e te wikitoria.
E te mate kei hea tou wero? E te reinga kei hea tou wikitoria? (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Ko te hara to te mate wero; na te ture hoki i kaha ai te hara:
57 But thanks is to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ki te Atua ia te whakawhetai, nana nei i homai te wikitoria ki a tatou, he meatanga na to tatou Ariki, na Ihu Karaiti.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, become ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not empty in the Lord.
Heoi, e oku teina aroha, kia u, kei taea te whakakorikori, kia hira te mahi ki te Ariki i nga wa katoa, e matau ana hoki koutou, ehara i te maumau to koutou mauiui i roto i te Ariki.
