1 Corinthians 15
1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.
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 this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have 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 what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: 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 and then to the Twelve.
Pita veia ngdang law lü, acun käna xaleinghngihea veia ngdangki.
6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have 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 He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
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 and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church 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, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that 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 was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
Acukba ani üng, keia khyüh kyase, amimia khyüh pi kyase, ahin kung kami pyenki, nangmi naw pi ahin kung nami jumki.
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of 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 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
Khyang kthia thawhnak be am a ve üng Khritaw pi am tho law be khai sü;
14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
acunüng, Khritaw tho law bekia am akyak üng kami ngthu sang amdanga kya lü nami jumnak pi amdanga kya khai ni.
15 In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact 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, then not even Christ has been raised.
Khyang kthie, am ami thawh law be üng Khritaw pi am tho law be;
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; 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 those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Acukba akyak üng Khritaw üng thi pängkiea jumeikie pi khyük khaie ni.
19 If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
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 Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen 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 through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a 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 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 turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
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 will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, 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 to be destroyed is death.
Ak’hnu säiha ye näng vai cun thihnak kyaki.
27 For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under 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 And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so 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 If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
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 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
Ise mimi pi anglät se kyühkse da akcün tä mi dawngki ni?
31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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 wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us 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: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Käh yu ua. Am dawkia püipaw naw vecawh kpyaki.
34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant 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 ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will 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 fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
Nang khyang k’ang, namät naw na sawa mci cun am a thih üng am cawt law be;
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
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 as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw a mäta ngjakhlüa pumsa jah peki, mci naküta veia ami mäta pumsa phäh phäh jah peki.
39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
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 heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.
Khankhaw pumsae ve u lü, khawmdek pumsae pi vekie; acunsepi khankhaw pumsaa hlüngtainak hnga lü, khawmdek pumsaa hlüngtainak pi hngaki.
41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
Nghngia hlüngtainak akce, khyaa hlüngtainak akce, aisiea hlüngtainak akce; aisi jah aisi pi ani hlüngtainak am täng ni.
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is 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. If there is a natural body, 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 it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam 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 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the 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 was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
Nghngicim akcük cun khawmdek üngkhyüh mhnünmcenga kya lü; anghngihnaka nghngicim cun khankhawa kaa kyaki.
48 As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
Khawmdek üng mhnünmcenga khyange cun khawmdek khyangea mäih law u se; khankhaw üngka khyange cun khankhaw üngka naw lawki hea mäih lawki he.
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
Acunüng, khawmdek üng mhnünmceng khyanga müia mäih mi müinaka mäiha, khankhaw khyanga müihmai pi mi müihmai na khai.
50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the 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 Listen, 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 an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, 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 the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
Tuhkbäih hina pyawih theiki am pyawih theikia nglat law lü, tuhkbäih hina thi theiki käh thi theikia nglat law khai.
54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been 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 and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
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.
