1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
Ka püie aw, Thangkdaw ka ning jah mtheh ning jah ksingsak be veng, acuna Thangkdaw dokham u lü, nami jumnak acuna khana angkhänga ngdüiki.
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
Ka ngthu sang cän nami jum sawxatkia am kya lü, nami läklam kcangkia akyak üng, acun bä üng küikyana nami kyaki.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Ka yah nami veia ka ning jah peki, acun cun sayü lü däm säihki ni, Khritaw cun mi mkhyekata phäh thiki tia Cangcim üng ng’yuki,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
ani cun ami k’ut, amhnüp kthum üng tho law beki tia Cangcim üng ng’yuki ni.
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Pita veia ngdang law lü, acun käna xaleinghngihea veia ngdangki.
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
Acun käna bena, phyamhmaa kthaka nungki veia ngdang lawki, khawhah cun tuhkbäih veia xüng hamkie, avange cun thi pängkie ni.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
Acun käna Jakuka veia ngdangki, acun käna ngsä he naküta veia ngdangki.
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
Ak’hnu säiha, keia vei pi ngdang lawki, kei cun am kha se hmi lawkia mäih ni ka law ta.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
Kei cun ngsä he ksunga ka dik säihki, Pamhnama sangcime ka jah mkhuimkhakia kyase, ngsäa pi am ka nglawi kyawki va.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Cunsepi, Pamhnama bäkhäknak am ahikba ka kyaki; a bäkhäknak amdanga a na pet cun ni, ngsä kcea kthaka ktha na bawk lü ka khüikhawmki. Acukba ka kthanak bawk cun kamäta kthanaka am kya, Pamhnama bäkhäknak naw kei üng khut pawhki.
11 Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
Acukba ani üng, keia khyüh kyase, amimia khyüh pi kyase, ahin kung kami pyenki, nangmi naw pi ahin kung nami jumki.
12 Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Atuha kami ngthu cun Khritaw thihnak üngkhyüh thobeki tia kyase, ise nangmi üng avange naw, “Khyang kthia thawhnak be am ve,” nami tiki ni?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
Khyang kthia thawhnak be am a ve üng Khritaw pi am tho law be khai sü;
14 If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
acunüng, Khritaw tho law bekia am akyak üng kami ngthu sang amdanga kya lü nami jumnak pi amdanga kya khai ni.
15 Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.
Acunüng, Pamhnam hleikia mi mdankia ni akya, isetiakyaküng, Khritaw cun Pamhnam naw mtho beki mi tia phäh ni, ahin akcang ta thikie sak xünnaka am tho be u. Pamhnam naw pi Khritaw am mtho be.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
Khyang kthie, am ami thawh law be üng Khritaw pi am tho law be;
17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
acunüng, Khritaw am a thawh law be ham üng nami jumnak pi amdanga kya lü nami mkhyekatnak üng khyük lü nami thi hamkie ni.
18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Acukba akyak üng Khritaw üng thi pängkiea jumeikie pi khyük khaie ni.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
Tuhkbäih mi xün k'um däk üng Khritawa khana äpeinak mi ta lü akcea saka phäh am akyak üng khawmdeka veki khyange kthaka jah mpyeneinak yahei bawk khaia mi nglawiki.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
Acunsepi, Khritaw cun thihnak üngka naw tho law be kcang lü, ipkie pi tholaw be khaie tia msingnak ni.
21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
Nghngicim khyanga phäha thihnak a ve lawa mäiha, nghngicim khyanga phäh kunga khyang kthia thawh lawnak be ve lawki.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
Adam üng khyang naküt ami thiha kba Khritaw üng khyang naküt tho be khai.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.
Acunsepi, khyang mat cim ami kcün üng tho khaie; Khritaw cun akcüka tho be khai. Acun käna Khritawa law be üng ani taki tho law be khaie.
24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
Acun käna apäihnak pha law khai; Khritaw naw ngmüimkhya upkie, anae, johite naküt a jah näng lawpäng üng Khritaw naw khyawngpe cun Pamhnam üng ap law khai.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
A yee naküt a khaw kunga am a jah tak hama küt üng, Khritaw naw jah up yah kung khai.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
Ak’hnu säiha ye näng vai cun thihnak kyaki.
27 For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
“Pamhnam naw avan ania khaw kea tak khai,” tia Cangcim naw pyenki. “Avan naküt tak khai” tinak üng Pamhnam amät am ngpüi, Khritawa khaw kea avan takia Pamhnam a ngpüi.
28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
Acunüng, avan naküt Khritawa upnaka kea taka akya lawpäng üng, Cakpa amät kung Pamhnama kea ve khai acuna Pamhnam naw avan ania kea taki cun naw avan up khai.
29 Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?
Atuh, khyang kthia thawhnak be am a ve üng, i ja amimi naw yah vai ami äpei. Khyang kthia phäha baptican khankie ihawkba kya khaie. Thikiea phäha ivai baptican khankie ni.
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
Ise mimi pi anglät se kyühkse da akcün tä mi dawngki ni?
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Ka püie, amhnüp tä thihnak ka sawngki! Khritaw Jesuh mi Bawipa üng ka ning jah awhcahnak pyen lü, “Kei, a mhnüp tä se ka thiki” ka ti ni.
32 If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
Nghngicima ngjakhlüa mäih düta Ephet mlüh üng “Sa kyung he” ka jah ngtunpüi vai sü üng i ka ngmang na khai ni? Khyang kthiea thawhnak be am ve khaia akyak üng, “Mi ei lü mi aw be vai u, khawngawi mi thi täng khai” mi ti hlü ye se.
33 Do not be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
Käh yu ua. Am dawkia püipaw naw vecawh kpyaki.
34 Wake up righteously and do not sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
Ngsunpyunnak üng law be u lü, mkhyekatnak hawih ua. Avang naw Pamhnam am ami ksing hin na ngkeei vaia kei naw pyen veng.
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
Mat mat naw, “Khyang kthie cun ihawkba tholaw be khaie ni? Ia mäia pumsa na khaie ni?” ti lü ngthäh khai.
36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
Nang khyang k’ang, namät naw na sawa mci cun am a thih üng am cawt law be;
37 That which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
Acunüng, na saw cän pumsaa ve khaia am na saw khawiki, a mci va na saw khawiki, cang mcia pi kyase mci kcea pi kyase mci däk va na sawki. Adäm pänga apung am nglingki. Akäna va däm law khai.
38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw a mäta ngjakhlüa pumsa jah peki, mci naküta veia ami mäta pumsa phäh phäh jah peki.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
Pumsa naküt am täng; nghngicima pumsa mjü at, khisa pumsa mjü at, khaa pumsa mjü at, ngaa pumsa mjü ata kyaki.
40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
Khankhaw pumsae ve u lü, khawmdek pumsae pi vekie; acunsepi khankhaw pumsaa hlüngtainak hnga lü, khawmdek pumsaa hlüngtainak pi hngaki.
41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
Nghngia hlüngtainak akce, khyaa hlüngtainak akce, aisiea hlüngtainak akce; aisi jah aisi pi ani hlüngtainak am täng ni.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
Khyang kthia thawhnak be pi acukba kyaki. Yawk k’uh üng thu lü, a thawh law be üng am thi thei.
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
K’ut üng am daw lü seki, mthawh be üng ngto lü daw khai.
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
K’ut üng mtisa pumsaa kya lü; mthawh be üng ngmüimkya pumsaa kya khai. Khawmdek pumsa vekia kyase Ngmüimkhya pumsa pi ve khai.
45 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Cangcim naw, “Nghngicim kcük Adam cun khyang xünga mhnünmcenga kyaki”; a tia kyase, Adam anghnu cun xünnak Ngmüimkhya jah peki kyaki.
46 However, that which is spiritual is not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
Ngmüimkhya lam cun ve law makia am kya, pumsa lam ve law ma lü acun käna Ngmüimkhya lam ve lawki.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
Nghngicim akcük cun khawmdek üngkhyüh mhnünmcenga kya lü; anghngihnaka nghngicim cun khankhawa kaa kyaki.
48 As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Khawmdek üng mhnünmcenga khyange cun khawmdek khyangea mäih law u se; khankhaw üngka khyange cun khankhaw üngka naw lawki hea mäih lawki he.
49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
Acunüng, khawmdek üng mhnünmceng khyanga müia mäih mi müinaka mäiha, khankhaw khyanga müihmai pi mi müihmai na khai.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
Ka püie aw, pumsa jah thisen Pamhnama pea am ve thei; thi theiki naw am thi theiki cun am yah tia ning jah mtheh veng.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
Ngthupki ning jah mtheh vang; mi van mi ip khaia am kya.
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
Acunsepi, ak’hnu säiha kpun a ng'yüng law üng, asängca üng, mik mkhyüpca üng, mi van mi hngalangei law khai. Kpun a ng'yüng law üng thi pängkie cun am pyawih theikia tho law be u se; mimi, mi na vekie pi mi hngalang law khai.
53 For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Tuhkbäih hina pyawih theiki am pyawih theikia nglat law lü, tuhkbäih hina thi theiki käh thi theikia nglat law khai.
54 But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Hina thi theiki hin am thi theikia a nglat law üng, “Thihnak cun mkhyüh lü nängnak cun küm law khai” tia Cangcim cun küm law khai.
“Thihnak aw, na ngnängnak, hawa ni a ve. Aw thihnak aw, na jah kphyaknak vai johit hawa ni a ve?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Thihnaka naw johit cun mkhyekatnak üngkhyüh yahki; mkhyekatnaka khyaihnak cun thuma kyaki.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acunsepi, mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw üng ngnängnak jah pekia Pamhnama veia jenak ve se.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Acunakyase, ka mhläkphyanaka ka püie aw, khängkia ngdüi ua. Bawipa khutbi ktha na kcang u lü bi ua, Bawipa khutbi nami bi hin am danga am kya tia nami ksingki.
