1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,
Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻaia naʻaku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia foki kuo mou maʻu, pea ʻoku mou tuʻu ai;
2 by which also ye are saved; [I make known, I say], in what words I preached it unto you, if ye hold it fast, except ye believed in vain.
ʻAia kuo fakamoʻui ai ʻakimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻoku mou manatuʻi ʻaia ne u malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau naʻe ʻikai te mou tui noa pē.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
He ko e ʻuluaki ʻoe meʻa naʻaku ʻaʻau atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻaku maʻu foki, Ko e pekia ʻa Kalaisi ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tohi;
4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
Pea naʻe fai ia, pea naʻe toetuʻu hake ia ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tohi:
5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻa Kifasi, pea mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua:
6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
Hili ia, pea mamata fakataha kiate ia ʻae kāinga ʻe toko nimangeau tupu; pea ʻoku kei moʻui honau tokolahi, ka kuo tō ʻo mohe ʻae niʻihi.
7 then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
Hili ia, naʻe mamata ʻa Semisi kiate ia, pea hoko mo e kau ʻaposetolo kotoa pē.
8 and last of all, as unto one born out of due time, he appeared to me also.
Pea ne u mamata fakamui foki ʻeau kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e fānau taʻehoko.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
He ko e siʻi taha pe au ʻi he kau ʻaposetolo, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke ui au ko e ʻaposetolo, koeʻuhi naʻaku fakatanga ʻae siasi ʻoe ʻOtua.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ou pehē ni ai au: pea ko ʻene ʻofa kiate au, naʻe ʻikai taʻeʻaonga ia; ka naʻaku ngāue lahi hake ʻaupito kiate kinautolu kotoa pē: ka naʻe ʻikai ko au, ka ko e tokoni mei he ʻOtua naʻe ʻiate au.
11 Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Pea ko ia kapau ko au, pe ko kinautolu, ka ʻoku pehē pe ʻemau malanga, pea pehē pe hoʻomou tui.
12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi mo ʻene toetuʻu mei he pekia, ʻoku fēfē ʻae pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu ʻoe mate?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
He kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu mei he mate, pea tā ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi:
14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻemau malanga, pea taʻeʻaonga mo hoʻomou tui foki.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.
ʻIo, pea kuo ʻilo ʻakimautolu ko e fakamoʻoni loi ki he ʻOtua; he kuo mau fakapapau mei he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene fokotuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi: ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne fokotuʻu hake, ʻo kapau ko eni ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻae mate.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:
He kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻae mate pea kuo ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi:
17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Pea kapau kuo ʻikai tuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga hoʻomou tui; ʻoku mou kei ʻi hoʻomou angahala.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Pea ko kinautolu foki kuo mohe ʻia Kalaisi, kuo nau ʻauha.
19 If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable.
Kapau ʻoku ngata ki he moʻui ni ʻetau ʻamanaki lelei ki ai, ko e malaʻia lahi taha pe ʻakitautolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
Ka ko eni, kuo toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, pea kuo hoko ia ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻokinautolu naʻe mohe.
21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
He ko e meʻa ʻi he tangata naʻe hoko ai ʻae mate, pea ʻe hoko ʻi he tangata foki ʻae toetuʻu ʻoe mate.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
He ʻoku hangē ʻoku mate kotoa pē ʻia ʻAtama, ʻe pehē foki ʻe moʻui kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
Ka ko e tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻi hono lakanga: ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻa Kalaisi; pea hoko mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻo Kalaisi, ʻi heʻene haʻu.
24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
Pea ʻe toki hoko ʻae ikuʻanga, ʻaia te ne ʻatu ai ʻae puleʻanga ki he ʻOtua, ʻio, ko e Tamai; hili ʻene ikuna ʻae pule kotoa pē, mo e fekau kotoa pe, mo e mālohi.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
He kuo pau pe ke pule ia, kaeʻoua ke ne tuku ʻa hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe.
26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
Ko e fili fakamui ʻe fakaʻauha, ko e mate.
27 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.
“He kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe.” Ka ʻi heʻene pehē, kuo fakamoʻulaloa ʻae “ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē,” ʻoku ʻilongofua pe ʻoku ʻataʻatā ia, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki lalo ʻiate ia.
28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.
Pea ka ʻosi hono fakavaivai ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia, ʻe toki anganofo ʻae Foha kiate ia naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki lalo ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi ke tāfataha pe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
Kae ʻikai, pea ko e hā ʻe fai ʻekinautolu kuo papitaiso ki he mate, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toetuʻu ʻae mate? Ko e hā ʻoku papitaiso ai ʻakinautolu ki he mate?
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
Pea ko e hā ʻoku tau tuʻutuʻutāmaki ai ʻi he feituʻulaʻā kotoa pē?
31 I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
ʻOku ou fakahā ʻi hoʻomou fiefia ʻaia ʻoku ou maʻu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻoku ou mate ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
32 If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
He kapau, ʻo hangē ko e [lea ʻae ]tangata, kuo u tau mo e fanga manu ʻi ʻEfesō, ko e hā hono ʻaonga kiate au, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻae mate? “Ke tau kai mo inu; he te tau mate ʻapongipongi.”
33 Be not deceived: Evil company doth corrupt good manners.
ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: “Ko e ngaahi talanoa kovi ʻoku fakahalaʻi ʻae ngaahi anga ʻoku lelei.”
34 Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame.
ʻA hake ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoua naʻa fai angahala; he ʻoku teʻeki maʻu ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ia ko hoʻomou fakamā.
35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
Ka ʻe pehē nai ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻE fēfē hono fokotuʻu ʻoe mate? Pea ʻi he sino fē te nau haʻu?”
36 Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened, except it die:
Ko e vale koe, ko ia ʻoku ke tūtuuʻi ʻoku ʻikai fakaake ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke mate:
37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
Pea ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ke tūtuuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi ʻae sino ko ia ʻe tupu, ka ko e foʻi tenga ko ha foʻi tenga kehe:
38 but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
Ka ʻoku foaki ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua hono sino, ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe ia, pea ki he tenga taki taha hono sino ʻoʻona.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
ʻOku ʻikai ko e kakano tatau pe ʻae kakano kotoa pē: he ʻoku ai ʻae kakano ko e taha ʻoe tangata, ko e kakano ʻe taha ʻoe fanga manu, ko e taha kehe ʻoe ngaahi ika, mo e taha kehe ʻoe fanga manupuna.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
Pea ʻoku ai foki ʻae ngaahi sino fakalangi, mo e ngaahi sino fakamaama: ka ʻoku taha pe ʻae nāunau ʻoe fakalangi, pea ko e fakamaama ʻoku taha kehe ia.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
He ʻoku ai ʻae nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe laʻā, mo e nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe māhina, mo e nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu: he ʻoku fai kehekehe ʻi he nāunau ʻae fetuʻu ʻe taha ki he fetuʻu ʻe taha.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻae toetuʻu ʻae mate. ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he ʻauʻauha: ʻoku fokotuʻu hake ia ʻi he taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha:
43 it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he fakalielia; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia mo e nāunau: ʻoku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he vaivai; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia ʻi he mālohi:
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].
ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia koe sino fakakakano; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia koe sino fakalaumālie. ʻOku ai ʻae sino fakakakano, pea ʻoku ai mo e sino fakalaumālie.
45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
Pea kuo tohi ʻo pehē, “Ko e ʻuluaki tangata ko ʻAtama naʻe ngaohi ia ko e laumālie moʻui;” ko e ʻAtama fakamui ko e laumālie fakamoʻui.
46 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
Ka naʻe ʻikai muʻomuʻa ʻaia ʻoku laumālie ka ko ia ʻoku fakakakano; kae toki hoko ʻaia ʻoku fakalaumālie.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
Ko e ʻuluaki tangata, ʻoku mei he kelekele, ʻoku kelekeleʻia: ko hono ua ʻoe tangata, ko e ʻEiki mei he langi.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Hangē ko e kelekeleʻia, ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kelekeleʻia: pea hangē ko ia ʻoku mei he langi, ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakalangi.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Pea hangē ko e tau ʻi he tatau ʻo ia ʻoku mei he langi.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Pea ʻoku ou tala eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻe ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he kakano mo e toto ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he ʻauʻauha ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Vakai, ʻoku ou fakahā ha meʻa fufū kiate kimoutolu; ʻE ʻikai te tau mohe kotoa pē, ka te tau liliu kotoa pē,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
ʻI he fakafokifā ʻi he kemo ʻoe mata, ʻi he pā fakamui ʻoe meʻa lea: koeʻuhi ʻe pā mai ia, pea ʻe fokotuʻu hake ai ʻae mate, ʻo taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, pea ʻe liliu ai ʻakitautolu.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
He kuo pau ke ʻai ʻe he ʻauʻauha ni, ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, pea ke ai ʻe he mate ni ʻae taʻemate
54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Ko ia, pea ka ʻosi hono ai ʻe he ʻauʻauha ni ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, mo e ʻai ʻe he mate ni ʻae taʻemate, ʻe toki fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kuo tohi, “Kuo folo hifo ʻae mate ʻe he mālohi.”
“ʻE mate, kofaʻā haʻo huhu? ʻE faʻitoka, kofaʻā hoʻo mālohi?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
Ko e huhu ʻoe mate ko e angahala; pea ko e mālohi ʻoe angahala ko e fono.
57 but thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ke tau mālohi ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not vain in the Lord.
Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ke tupulekina maʻuaipē ʻi he ngāue ʻae ʻEiki, he ʻoku mou ʻilo ko hoʻomou ngāue ʻi he ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai taʻeʻaonga ia.
