1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I want to remind you about the good news I announced to you. You accepted it, and you have stood firm for it.
Wachalal, kawaj kinnaꞌtaj chiꞌwe ri utz laj taq tzij ri xintzijoj chiꞌwe, xuqujeꞌ xikꞌamawaꞌj, ri ix kꞌo chupam kamik.
2 It is through this good news that you are saved if you hold on to the message that I gave you. Otherwise you trusted for nothing!
Rumal we tzij riꞌ xixkolotajik we qas ix jeqel chupam. We kꞌu man ix jeqel chupam, maj rumal ri xixkojonik.
3 I passed on to you what I myself had also received, a message of vital importance: that Christ died for our sins, according to Scripture;
Rumal cher nabꞌe na xintzijoj chiꞌwe ri xinkꞌamawaꞌj in: Ri Cristo xkꞌam rumal ri qamak jetaq ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik,
4 he was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, again in accordance with Scripture.
xmuqiꞌk, xuqujeꞌ xkꞌastaj churox qꞌij jetaq ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik.
5 He appeared to Peter, then to the Twelve.
Xukꞌut kꞌu ribꞌ cho ri Cefas, xuqujeꞌ chikiwach ri e kabꞌlajuj tijoxelabꞌ.
6 After that he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still alive today, though some have died.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ chikiwach sibꞌalaj e kꞌi cho ri jobꞌ ciento alaxik, e kꞌi chike we winaq riꞌ e kꞌas na kamik, pune e kꞌo jujun chike ri e kaminaq chik.
7 He appeared to James, then all the apostles.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ cho ri Jacobo, xuqujeꞌ chikiwach konojel ri e taqoꞌn.
8 Last of all, he also appeared to me, someone born as it were at the wrong time.
Kꞌisbꞌal rech, xukꞌut ribꞌ chinuwach in, jer xinux ri akꞌal ri xkꞌojiꞌk man xtzꞌaqat ta ri uqꞌijal.
9 For I'm the least important apostle of all, not even fit to be called an apostle since I persecuted God's church.
Qas tzij kinqꞌalajisaj chi in riꞌ ri sibꞌalaj man kꞌo ta nuqꞌij chike ri e taqoꞌn, man ne taqal taj kabꞌix taqoꞌn chwe, rumal cher xinbꞌan kꞌax che ri ukomontyox ri Dios.
10 But by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace given to me wasn't wasted. On the contrary I've worked harder than all of them—though not me, but God's grace working through me.
Xa rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios je kinuxik jetaq ri kinuxik, ri toqꞌobꞌ ri xya chwe qas kꞌo xutayij. In sibꞌalaj in chakuninaq chikiwach konojel, pune man in taj, xane are ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios ri kꞌo wukꞌ.
11 So whether it's I or them, this is the message we shared with you that brought you to trust in God.
We kꞌu in o aꞌreꞌ ne, are waꞌ ri kaqatzijoj xuqujeꞌ are waꞌ ri ikojom ix.
12 Now if the message declares that Christ has been raised from the dead, how is it that some of you say there's no resurrection of the dead?
Qilampeꞌ, we kaqatzijoj chi ri Cristo xkꞌastaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ ¿jas kꞌu che kakibꞌij jujun chiꞌwe chi maj kꞌastajibꞌal wach?
13 If there's no resurrection of the dead then Christ hasn't been raised either.
We man kꞌo kꞌastajisabꞌal wach, man xkꞌastaj ta bꞌa riꞌ ri Cristo chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
14 And if Christ isn't raised, then our message we shared with you is pointless, and your trust in God is pointless too.
We man xkꞌastaj ri Cristo, man kꞌo ta bꞌa kutayij riꞌ ri tzij ri kaqatzijoj, xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta kutayij riꞌ ri ikojobꞌal.
15 In addition, we would be shown to be false witnesses of God when we testified that God raised Christ from the dead. But God didn't raise Christ from the dead if it's true that there's no resurrection.
Uj bꞌanal taq tzij bꞌa riꞌ rumal ri xqaqꞌalajisaj chi ri Dios xukꞌastajisaj ri Cristo, pune man tzij, we kaqabꞌij kekꞌastaj taj ri e kaminaqibꞌ.
16 If the dead are not raised, then Christ hasn't been raised either,
We man kekꞌastaj ri kaminaqibꞌ, man xkꞌastaj ta bꞌa riꞌ ri Cristo.
17 and if Christ hasn't been raised, then your trust in God is useless, and you are still in your sins.
Xuqujeꞌ we man xkꞌastajik ri Cristo, man kꞌo ta bꞌa kutayij riꞌ ri ikojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ ix kꞌo bꞌa na riꞌ pa ri imak.
18 This also means that those who died in Christ are lost.
Xsach bꞌa kiwach riꞌ ri e kꞌo pa Cristo are xekam bꞌik.
19 If our hope in Christ is only for this life, we're the most pitiful people of all!
We xaq xwi chirij ri Cristo kuꞌl wi qakꞌuꞌx pa we kꞌaslemal riꞌ, sibꞌalaj kꞌax qe riꞌ chkiwach konojel ri winaq.
20 But Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of the harvest from those who have died.
Qetaꞌm kꞌut chi ri Cristo xkꞌastaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ, nabꞌe kꞌastajel kukꞌut chiqawach chi kekꞌastaj na konojel ri xekamik.
21 Just as death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead came through a man.
Qas tzij ri kamikal xa rumal rech jun achi xpetik, xuqujeꞌ xa rumal rech jun achi xpe ri kꞌastajibꞌal ke konojel ri e kaminaqibꞌ.
22 Just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Xa rumal ri Adán konojel xekamik xuqujeꞌ xa rumal ri Cristo konojel kekꞌastaj na.
23 But each in their own turn: Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ when he comes.
Konojel kꞌut kekꞌastaj na pa ucholajil, nabꞌe xkꞌastaj ri Cristo, kꞌa te riꞌ kekꞌastaj na ri e rech Cristo are katzalij loq.
24 After this comes the end, when Christ hands over the kingdom to God the Father, having destroyed all rulers, authorities, and powers.
Kape kꞌu na ri kꞌisbꞌal rech ri uwachulew, ri Cristo kachꞌeken na pa kiwiꞌ ri kabꞌan ke xuqujeꞌ ronojel chuqꞌabꞌ, ronojel kwinem kꞌa te riꞌ kujach na ri ajawarem che ri Tataxel Dios.
25 Christ has to rule until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
Are kechꞌektaj konojel ri uꞌkꞌulel xuqujeꞌ ketakꞌaleꞌtaj rumal, kataqan na pa kiwiꞌ konojel.
26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
Ri kꞌisbꞌal kꞌulel ri katukix na are ri kamikal.
27 As Scripture says, “He put everything under his feet.” (Of course when it says “everything” is put under him it's obvious this doesn't refer to God who placed everything under Christ's authority.)
Rumal cher ri Dios xuya chuxeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri Jesús ronojel ri jastaq, ri Dios man kajilabꞌ taj chuxoꞌl ronojel we jastaq riꞌ, rumal cher are ri Dios xbꞌan rech, rech ronojel ri jastaq kakanaj chuxeꞌ raqan ri Cristo.
28 When everything has been placed under Christ's authority, then the Son will also place himself under God's authority, so that God who gave the Son authority over everything may be all in all.
Are xyaꞌtaj ronojel ri jastaq chuxeꞌ raqan ri Kꞌojolaxel, ri Kꞌojolaxel kumochꞌ na ribꞌ chuxeꞌ raqan ri xyoꞌw che ronojel ri jastaq, rech jeriꞌ kakꞌojiꞌ ri Dios pa kanimaꞌ konojel ri winaq.
29 Otherwise what will those people do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then would people be baptized for them?
We man kꞌo kꞌastajisabꞌal wach ¿jas kakichꞌek ri kakibꞌan kiqasanaꞌ kumal ke ri kaminaqibꞌ? We man kekꞌastaj ri kaminaqibꞌ ¿jas che kakibꞌan kiqasanaꞌ we winaq riꞌ?
30 As for us, why do we place ourselves in danger hour after hour?
Ri uj kꞌut ¿jas che kaqaya qibꞌ pa kꞌax ronojel mul?
31 I die every day—let me say it bluntly, my brothers and sisters. This is just as sure as the pride I have for what Christ Jesus has done in you.
Wachalal, qas tzij kinnaꞌ nimal iwumal iwe pa Cristo Jesús ri Ajawxel, pune wetaꞌm chi ronojel qꞌij tajin kinkamik.
32 Humanly speaking, what would I gain by fighting with those people in Ephesus who were like wild animals, if the dead are not raised? If the dead are not raised, “let's eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”!
¿Jas kꞌu xinchꞌek riꞌ we xa rumal ri nutyoꞌjal xinchꞌoꞌjin pa ri tinimit Éfeso kukꞌ ri winaq ri jer e kꞌo juyubꞌil taq aꞌwaj? We man kekꞌastaj ri kaminaqibꞌ, chujwoꞌq, chujqumunoq, xa chweꞌq kujkamik.
33 Don't be fooled: “bad company ruins good character.”
Misubꞌ iwibꞌ: Ri itzel taq tzijonem kutukij ri utz taq noꞌjibꞌal.
34 Come to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! Some of you don't know God. I tell you this to shame you.
Chixtzalij pa ri utz inoꞌjibꞌal, jetaq ri qas kataqiꞌk chiꞌwe, xuqujeꞌ man kixmakun ta chik. Qas tzij wi qas e kꞌo wi jujun chiꞌwe man ketaꞌm ta uwach ri Dios. Kinbꞌij waꞌ chiꞌwe rech kixkꞌixik.
35 Of course somebody will ask, “How exactly are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?”
Wine kꞌo jun kuto: ¿Jas kakibꞌan ri kaminaqibꞌ ketzalij pa ri kꞌaslemal? ¿Jas ubꞌantajik ri kityoꞌjal are kekꞌastajik?
36 What a foolish question! What you sow doesn't sprout into life unless it dies.
Maj awetaꞌmabꞌal, ri tikoꞌn man kakꞌasiꞌ taj we man nabꞌe kakamik.
37 When you sow, you don't sow the plant it will grow into, just the bare seed, whether wheat or whatever you're planting.
Jun ijaꞌ rech tiriko o xapaskux ijaꞌ riꞌ ri tajin katiko are kꞌu ri kakꞌiy loq jaljoj cho ri katiko.
38 God makes the plant grow into the form he has chosen, and different seeds produce different plants with different forms.
Are ri Dios kabꞌanow che ri tikoꞌn jas jeꞌ ri karaj areꞌ. Chkijujunal ri ijaꞌ kubꞌan chike je kekaꞌyik jetaq ri karaj Areꞌ.
39 What living things are made from is not the same. Human beings have one kind of body tissue, while animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
Man konojel taj ri tyoꞌjal e junam; kꞌo tyoꞌjal rech winaq, kꞌo ke aꞌwaj ri kebꞌinik cho ri ulew, kꞌo ke ri aꞌwaj ri kerapinik xuqujeꞌ kꞌo kityoꞌjal ri e kar.
40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. Heavenly bodies have one kind of beauty, earthly bodies another.
Je xuqujeꞌ e kꞌo kityoꞌjal ri e kꞌo chikaj, xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew. Xa kꞌu jun ubꞌanik ri kijeꞌlal ri e kꞌo chikaj, ri kityoꞌjal ri ajuwachulew man kajunumataj ta kukꞌ ri ke ri e kꞌo chikaj.
41 The sun shines in one way, and the moon another, while the stars are different again, with each one shining in a different way.
Jun chike are ri ujuluwem ri qꞌij, ri jun chik are ri ujeꞌlal ri ikꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri rech ri chꞌumil. Chi kijujunal ri chꞌumil kꞌo utunal.
42 It's the same with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay; it is raised to last forever.
Je xuqujeꞌ kakꞌulmataj rukꞌ ri kꞌastajibꞌal wach kech ri e kaminaqibꞌ. We man qas jeꞌl ubꞌanik are katikik, kakꞌastaj na pa jeꞌlal.
43 It is sown in shame; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
Ri katikik pa qꞌayinaqil kakꞌastaj na pa jeꞌlal. Ri tikoꞌnijik ri kabꞌan rukꞌ bꞌaqꞌoꞌtem, kakꞌastaj na rukꞌ kwinem.
44 It is sown as a natural body; it is raised as a spiritual body. Just as there are natural bodies there are spiritual bodies.
Katik jun tyoꞌjal rech winaq, kakꞌastaj kꞌu na jun tyoꞌjal rech uxlabꞌal. We kꞌu kꞌo jun tyoꞌjal rech winaq, kꞌo xuqujeꞌ na jun tyoꞌjal rech ri uxlabꞌal.
45 As Scripture says, “The first man, Adam, became a living being;” but the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Ri nabꞌe achi Adán, xuxik jun kꞌaslik achi, are kꞌu ri kꞌisbꞌal Adán, are kꞌaslik uxlabꞌixel.
46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural—the spiritual came after that.
Man are ta nabꞌe xpe ri rech ri uxlabꞌal, xane are nabꞌe xpe ri rech uwachulew, kꞌa te riꞌ xpe ri rech ri uxlabꞌal.
47 The first man is from the dust of the earth; the second man is from heaven.
Ri nabꞌe achi che ri ulew xbꞌan wi, ri ukabꞌ achi, are Ajawxel rech ri kaj.
48 Earthly people are like the man made from the earth; heavenly people are like the man from heaven.
Ri winaq ajuwachulew junam rukꞌ ri winaq ri ajuwachulew, are kꞌu ri ajchikajil junam rukꞌ ri winaq ri ajchikajil.
49 Just as we bore the likeness of the earthly man so we shall bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
Kamik uj junam rukꞌ ri winaq rech uwachulew, jun qꞌij kꞌu na kujjunumataj xuqujeꞌ na rukꞌ ri winaq rech chilaꞌ chikaj.
50 However, I tell you this, my brothers and sisters: our present bodies cannot inherit the kingdom of God. These decaying bodies cannot inherit what lasts forever.
Wachalal, kinqꞌalajisaj chiꞌwach chi ri qatyoꞌjal rech uwachulew, man kakwin taj karechabꞌej ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌayinaqil man kakwin taj karechabꞌej ri man kaqꞌay taj.
51 Listen, I'm going to reveal a mystery! Not all of us will die—but we will all be changed,
Qas chiwilampeꞌ ri jastaq ri awatal loq kinkꞌut chiꞌwach: Man qonojel taj kujkamik, qonojel kꞌut kujkꞌexkꞌobꞌ na,
52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised never to die again, and we will be changed.
aninaq, jetaq are kujaqo xuqujeꞌ kutzꞌapij ubꞌoqꞌoch jun winaq, kachꞌawisax na ri kꞌisbꞌal sikꞌinik rech ri suꞌ. Rumal kachꞌawisax kꞌu na ri suꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ ri e kaminaqibꞌ kekꞌastaj na rukꞌ jun tyoꞌjal ri man qꞌayinaq taj, xuqujeꞌ ri uj ri uj kꞌaslik na, kujkꞌexkꞌobꞌ bꞌik.
53 For this perishable body must be clothed with a body that never perishes. This mortal life must be clothed with immortality.
Rumal riꞌ rajawaxik chi ri kaqꞌayik man kaqꞌay taj, xuqujeꞌ ri kamel rij kux na winaq ri man kakam ta chik.
54 When this perishable body has been clothed with a body that never perishes, and this mortal life has been clothed with immortality, then the Scripture will come true that says, “Death has been totally conquered and destroyed.
Are kakꞌextaj ri tyoꞌjal ri kasach uwach cho ri jun kꞌaslemal chik ri man kasach ta uwach, xuqujeꞌ ri tyoꞌjal ri kamel rij cho ri tyoꞌjal ri man kakam taj, kakꞌulmataj na ri tzꞌibꞌatalik ri kubꞌij: Ri kamikal xchꞌek rumal ri kwinem.
¿Kamikal, jawjeꞌ xeꞌ wi ri achꞌekoj? ¿Kamikal jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri akwinem chubꞌanik kꞌax chaqe? (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting that causes death is sin; and the power of sin is the law;
Ri kꞌax rech ri kamikal are ri makaj, ri ukwinem ri makaj are ri taqanik.
57 but praise God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Xa kꞌu tyox che ri Dios ri kubꞌan chaqe uj chꞌekenelabꞌ rumal rech ri Jesucristo ri Ajawxel.
58 So my dear brothers and sisters: be strong, stand firm, doing everything you can for the Lord's work, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord is wasted.
Xaq jeriꞌ, loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, ko chixkꞌoloq, miya iwibꞌ pa salabꞌaxik, chixkꞌiyoq pa ri uchak ri Ajawxel, iwetaꞌm chi ronojel ri kibꞌano pa ri Ajawxel, kꞌo utojbꞌalil.
