1 Corinthians 15
1 Next, friends, I would like to remind you of the good news which I told you, and which you received – the good news on which you have taken your stand,
Te hampandrendreke anahareo henaneo, ry longo, i talili-soa nitaroñakoy, i rinambe areoy naho ijohaña’ areoy;
2 and by means of which you are being saved. I would like to remind you of the words that I used in telling it to you, since you are still holding fast to it, and since it was not in vain that you became believers in Christ.
i entañe nitaroñakoy le maharombake te vontitireñe, tsy mone tsy vente’e i natokisa’ areoy.
3 For at the very beginning of my teaching I gave you the account which I had myself received – that Christ died for our sins (as the scriptures had foretold),
Fa nitaroñeko ama’ areo ty lohà’ i rinambekoy, te nivilasy ho a’ o hakeon-tikañeo i Norizañey ty amo Sokitse Masiñeo,
4 that he was buried, that on the third day he was raised (as the scriptures had foretold),
le nalenteke vaho natroatse amy andro faha-teloy ty amo Sokitse Masiñeo,
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.
le nisodehañe amy Kefasy vaho amy folo-ro’amby rey.
6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have gone to their rest.
Ie añe, le niboak’ aman-drolongo mandikoatse ty liman-jato; mbe veloñe ty hamaroa’e henaneo, fe miròtse ka ty ila’e.
7 After that, he appeared to James, and then to all the apostles.
Le nipoteake am’ Iakobe re naho amo Firàheñe iabio,
8 Last of all, he appeared even to me, who am, as it were, a miscarried baby – born untimely.
fara’e nisodehañe amako, izaho hoe ajaja tsy añom-bolañe;
9 For I am the least of the apostles, I who am unworthy of the name of “apostle,” because I persecuted the church of God.
toe tsitso’ o Firàheñe iabio vaho tsy mañeva hatao Firàheñe, amy te nisamporeraheko i Fivorin’ Añaharey.
10 But it is through the love of God that I am what I am, and the love that he showed me has not been wasted. No, I have toiled harder than any of them, and yet it was not I, but the love of God working with me.
Fe i fatarihan’ Añaharey ty maha zao ahy; naho tsy nizoeñe ho kòake i falalà’e amakoy, fa nitromake mandikoatse iereo iaby; toe tsy izaho, fa ty hasoan’ Añahare amako.
11 Whether, then, it was I or whether it was they, this we proclaim, and this you believed.
Aa ke izaho he iereo, nitaroñe zahay vaho niantoke nahareo.
12 Now, if it is proclaimed of Christ that he has been raised from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?
Aa naho tseizeñe te nitroatse amy havilasiy i Norizañey, akore te manao ty hoe ty ila’e ama’ areo, te, Tsy eo ze o fivañona’ o vilasio zao?
13 But, if there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then even Christ has not been raised;
Fe naho tsy ampitroareñe o havilasio, le tsy nitroatse ka i Norizañey.
14 and, if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without meaning, and our faith without meaning also!
Aa naho tsy natroatse i Norizañey, le tsy jefa’e o fitaroña’aio vaho kòake ty fatokisa’ areo,
15 Yes, and we are being proved to have borne false testimony about God; for we testified of God that he raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if, indeed, the dead do not rise!
mbore zoeñe t’ie valolombelom-bande aman’ Añahare, amy te nitaroñe’ay ty aman’ Añahare te natroa’e i Norizañey, fe inao tsy natroa’e—ze ho nito naho tsy mivañom-beloñe o vilasio.
16 For, if the dead do not rise, then even Christ himself has not been raised,
Aa naho tsy mitroatse o fañòvao, le tsy natroatse ka i Norizañey.
17 and, if Christ has not been raised, your faith is folly – your sins are on you still!
Aa naho tsy natroatse i Norizañey le tsi-vara ty fatokisa’ areo, fa mbe amo hakeo’ areoo
18 Yes, and they, who have passed to their rest in union with Christ, perished!
vaho fa momoke ka o miròtse amy Norizañeio.
19 If all that we have done has been to place our hope in Christ for this life, then we of all people are the most to be pitied.
Aa naho ty haveloñe toy avao ty itamantika i Norizañey, le amy ze hene ondaty itika ro lombolombo’ ty mahaferenay.
20 But, in truth, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are at rest.
Fe toe natroatse amy havilasiy i Norizañey, i loha-voa’ o mirotseoy.
21 For, since through a man there is death, so, too, through a man there is a resurrection of the dead.
Aa kanao añama’ t’indaty o havilasio, le añama’ t’indaty ka ty fivañona’ o vilasio.
22 For, as through union with Adam all die, so through union with the Christ will all be made to live.
Fa hambañe amy te kila vilasy amy Dame ao, te hene ho velomeñe amy Norizañey,
23 But each in their proper order – Christ the first-fruits; afterwards, at his coming, those who belong to the Christ.
f’ie songa ami’ty filaha’e: i Norizañey ro sese-lengo’e, mandimbe aze o amy Norizañeio amy fitotsaha’ey,
24 Then will come the end – when he surrenders the kingdom to his God and Father, having overthrown all other rule and all other authority and power.
vaho ho tondroke i figadoñañey, ie atolo’e aman’ Añahare Rae i fifeheañey, naho fa rinotsa’e ze fonga fandiliañe naho fifelehañe vaho faozarañe.
25 For he must reign until God “has put all his enemies under his feet.”
Amy te tsy mahay tsy hifehe ampara’ te fonga napoke ambane’ o fandia’eo o rafelahi’eo.
26 The last enemy to be overthrown is death;
I havilasiy ro rafelahy sehanga’e ho rotsaheñe.
27 for God has placed all things under Christ’s feet. (But, when it is said that all things have been placed under Christ, it is plain that God is excepted who placed everything under him.)
Ie kila nampiambanè’e am-pandia’e ao. Aa ie manao ty hoe: kila nampiambanè’e am-pandia’e ao, le malange te tsy añate’e i nampidoñe ze he’e ambane’ey.
28 And, when everything has been placed under him, the Son will place himself under God who placed everything under him, so that God may be all in all!
Ie kila nampiambanèñe ama’e, le i Anakey ro hiandaly amy Nampiambane ze he’e ama’ey, soa te ho andindimone’ ze halifora’e t’i Andrianañahare.
29 Again, what good will they be doing who are baptized on behalf of the dead? If it is true that the dead do not rise, why are people baptized on their behalf?
Aa naho tsy izay, ino ty hanoe’ o nilipotse ty amo nivilasio? Naho tsy mitroatse ka o nivilasio, ino ty ilipora’ iareo?
30 Why, too, do we risk our lives every hour?
Akore ka ty fiatrefa’ay feh’ ohatse lomoñandro?
31 Daily I face death – I swear it, friends, by the pride in you that I feel through my union with Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Eka, ry longo, ventèko amy fisengeako amy Talèntika Iesoà Norizañeiy, t’ie mikenkañe boak’ andro.
32 If with only human hopes I had fought in the arena at Ephesus, what should I have gained by it? If the dead do not rise, then let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die!
Aa naho fisalala’ ondaty ty nifandrakaraheko o biby hako e Efesosy añeo le ino ty nitombo’e amako? Naho tsy mivañoñe o vilasio, te mone: Antao hikama naho hinoñe, fa hikoromake te hamaray.
33 Do not be deceived. “Good character is marred by evil company.”
Asoao tsy ho fañahieñe: Toe mañamavo havañonañe ty fiosoñan-draty.
34 Wake up to a righteous life, and cease to sin. There are some who have no true knowledge of God. I speak in this way to shame you.
Mihendrea ami’ty fañeva’e, le ko mandilatse; fa eo ty tsy mahafohiñe an’Andrianañahare. Hanalatse anahareo ty nanoako izay.
35 Someone, however, may ask “How do the dead rise? And in what body will they come?”
He eo ty hanao ty hoe: Akore ty hahafitroara’ o loloo? naho an-tsandry inoñe ty hivotraha’ iareo?
36 You foolish person! The seed you yourself sow does not come to life, unless it dies!
Ty minè! Tsy ho veloñe i tongise’oy naho tsy mate heike.
37 And when you sow, you sow not the body that will be, but a mere grain – perhaps of wheat, or something else.
Le ihe mitongy, tsy i ho vente’ey i tongise’oy, fa ty tabiry—he ampemba, ke ty ila’e.
38 God gives it the body that he pleases – to each seed its special body.
Fe i Andrianañahare ty manolotse vatañe ama’e, ze safiri’e, naho amy ze tabiry t’y ho vata’e.
39 All forms of life are not the same; there is one for people, another for beasts, another for birds, and another for fish.
Toe tsy hene hambañe ze atao nofotse; raike ty a ondatio, naho nofotse hafa ty a o bibi-hakoo, naho nofotse ila’e ty a o voroñeo vaho hafa ty a o fiañeo.
40 There are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the beauty of the heavenly bodies is not the beauty of the earthly.
Ao ka o sandrin-dikerañeo naho o sandri’ ty tane toio; raike ty engen-dikerañe vaho hafa ty enge’ o an-tane atoio.
41 There is a beauty of the sun, and a beauty of the moon, and a beauty of the stars; for even star differs from star in beauty.
Raike ty enge’ i àndroy le hafa ty enge’ i volañey naho hafa ty enge’ o vasiañeo vaho mifañambake ty enge’ ty vasiañe ami’ty vasiañe.
42 It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. Sown a mortal body, it rises immortal; sown disfigured, it rises beautiful;
Izay ka ty fivañona’ o vilasio. Ie tinongy ho an-kamomohañe, fe hitroatse tsy ho an-kamomohañe,
43 sown weak, it rises strong; sown a human body, it rises a spiritual body.
tinongy ho an-kamavoañe f’ie hatroatse ho aman’ engeñe; tinongy ho an-kaifoifoañe fe hatroatse ho aman-kaozarañe,
44 As surely as there is a human body, there is also a spiritual body.
tinongy ho aman-tsandri’ ty tane toy f’ie hatroatse ho amam-pañòvan’ arofo. Kanao eo ty sandri’ ty tane toy, ao ka ty añ’ arofo.
45 That is what is meant by the words – “Adam, the first man, became a human being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Hoe ka ty pinatetse: Nanoeñe arofo veloñe t’i Dame, indaty valoha’ey; Arofo mpameloñe ka t’i Dame tsitso’e.
46 That which comes first is not the spiritual, but the human; afterwards comes the spiritual;
Fe tsy i añ’ arofoy ty nivaloha’e, fa i an-taney vaho izay i añ’ arofoy.
47 the first man was from the dust of the earth; the second man from heaven.
Boak’ an-tane ao indaty valoha’ey vaho boak’ andindìñe ao indaty faharoey.
48 Those who are of the dust are like him who came from the dust; and those who are of heaven are like him who came from heaven.
Manahake i tan-taney o an-taneo vaho hambañe amy an-dikerañey o andindìñeo.
49 And as we have borne the likeness of him who came from the dust, so let us bear the likeness of him who came from heaven.
Le hanahake ty fisikinan-tika ty vinta’ i debokeiy, ty hisikinan-tika i vintan-dikerañey.
50 This I say, friends – Flesh and blood can have no share in the kingdom of God, nor can the perishable share the imperishable.
Le hoe iraho, ry longo, tsy mahalova i Fifehean’ Añaharey ty nofotse naho lio vaho tsy mandova ty tsi-fihomahañe ty fihomahañe.
51 Listen, I will tell you God’s hidden purpose! We will not all have passed to our rest, but we will all be transformed – in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
Ingo itaroñako razan-drehake: Tsy songa hiròtse tikañe, fa sindre hiova,
52 at the last trumpet-call; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise immortal, and we, also, will be transformed.
ami’ty manao zao, ami’ty tsy mahamaiñ’ive, amy feon’ antsiva honka’ey. Hipopò i antsivay naho hatroatse tsy ho momoke ka o loloo vaho hiova tikañe.
53 For this perishable body of ours must put on an imperishable form, and this dying body a deathless form.
Fa tsy mahay tsy hisikiñe i tsy mihomakey i mihomakey vaho hisikiñe o tsy fikoromahañeo o mete mikoromakeo.
54 And, when this dying body has put on its deathless form, then indeed will the words of scripture come true –
Aa ie misikiñe ty tsy mete momoke i mihomakey naho misikiñe o tsi-fikoromahañeo ty mikoromake le ho tendreke i tsaraeñe ty hoe: Nagodra’ ty harebahañe ty havilasy.
55 “death has been swallowed up in victory! Where, Death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting?” (Hadēs g86)
O Havilasio, aia ty fandrebaha’o? O Tsikeokeokeo, aia ty finipoha’o? (Hadēs g86)
56 It is sin that gives death its sting, and it is the Law that gives sin its power.
Hakeo ro finipoha’ o havilasio vaho i Hake ro haozara’ o tahiñeo.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Fe andriañeñe t’i Andrianañahare Mpanolotse antika i fandrebahañey añamy Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
58 Therefore, my dear friends, stand firm, unshaken, always diligent in the Lord’s work, for you know that, in union with him, your toil is not in vain.
Ie amy zao, ry longo sarotse, migahiña, mijadoña; mahimbaña nainai’e amo fitoloña’ i Talèo, fohiñe te tsy kafoake ty fitromahañe amy Talè.
