1 Corinthians 15
1 Now, my fellow believers, I want to remind you about the message about Christ that I preached to you. It is the message that you received and that you have continued to trust firmly.
Karon magpahinumdom ako kaninyo, mga igsoon, sa ebanghelyo nga gimantala ko kaninyo, diin inyong gidawat ug inyong gibarogan.
2 If you keep on firmly [believing] this message that I preached to you, you will be saved {[God] will save you}. If you do not continue to believe it, your believing [in Christ] was (all for nothing/useless)!
Pinaagi niini nga ebanghelyo kamo naluwas, kung mokupot kamo nga lig-on sa pulong nga gisangyaw ko kaninyo, gawas kon kawang ang inyong gituohan.
3 The most important part of the message that I received [from the Lord Jesus], and that I told you, was this: Christ died to [take away the guilt] of our sins, as the Scriptures [said that he would do].
Kay gidala nako kaninyo ang pinakamahinungdanon nga mga butang nga nadawat usab nako: nga si Cristo namatay alang sa atong mga sala sumala sa mga kasulatan,
4 His [dead body] was buried {They buried his [body]}. On the third day [after that], [God] caused him to become alive again, as the Scriptures [said would happen].
nga gilubong siya, ug nga nabanhaw siya sa ikatulo nga adlaw sumala sa mga kasulatan.
5 After that, [Christ] was seen by {appeared to} Peter. Then he appeared to [eleven of] the [original] twelve [apostles].
Ug nagpakita siya kang Cefas, unya ngadto sa napulo ug duha.
6 Later he was seen by {appeared to} more than 500 of our fellow believers. Most of those are still living, but some of them have died [EUP].
Unya sa usa ka higayon nagpakita siya sa kapin 500 ka mga kaigsoonan. Kadaghanan kanila mga buhi pa gihapon, apan ang pipila nakatulog.
7 Then he was seen by {appeared [to]} [his younger brother] James, [who became the leader of the congregation in Jerusalem]. Then he appeared to all of the apostles.
Unya mipakita siya kang Santiago, unya ngadto sa tanang mga apostoles.
8 Finally, he was seen by {appeared to} me, but I became an apostle in a way that was very unusual [MET].
Sa kataposan niining tanan, mipakita siya kanako, ingon sa usa ka bata nga natawo sa sayop nga panahon.
9 The fact is, I [consider that I] am the least important of the apostles. I do not deserve to be an apostle, because I (persecuted God’s groups of believers/caused God’s groups of believers to suffer) [everywhere I went].
Kay ako mao ang kinaulahian sa mga apostoles. Dili ako takos nga tawgon nga usa ka apostoles tungod kay akong gilutos ang simbahan sa Dios.
10 But it is because God acted kindly toward me in ways that I did not deserve that I became what I am now. And his acting kindly toward me produced a great result [LIT], which is that I worked harder [for Christ] than all the other apostles. But it was not that I [was working with my own ability]. Instead, God was helping me in a way I did not deserve.
Apan pinaagi sa grasya sa Dios ako mao ako, ug ang iyang grasya nga ania kanako wala makawang. Hinuon, naningkamot ako sa pagbuhat kaysa kanilang tanan. Apan dili kini ako, kini ang grasya sa Dios nga ania kanako.
11 So it does not matter whether it was I [who was preaching or whether it was the other apostles who were preaching]. We all preached [the same message], and that message is what you believed.
Busa bisan ako o sila, mao nga kami nagsangyaw ug kamo mituo.
12 So now [let me ask you this]: Since [we] have all preached to you that Christ was raised again {that [God] caused Christ to become alive} after he died, (no one among you should be saying that [God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again after they die!/why do some of you say that [God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again after they die?) [RHQ]
Karon kung si Cristo gimantala ingon nga nabanhaw gikan sa mga patay, unsaon man pag-ingon sa pipila kaninyo nga walay pagkabanhaw sa mga patay?
13 If [it is true that God] will not cause anyone to become alive again, that situation would mean that Christ was not raised from the dead {[he] did not cause Christ to become alive again}!
Apan kung walay pagkabanhaw sa mga patay, buot pasabot bisan si Cristo wala mabanhaw.
14 And if Christ was not raised from the dead {if [God] did not cause Christ to become alive again}, then what we preached to you was useless, and your believing [in Christ] is useless.
Ug kung wala mabanhaw si Cristo, buot pasabot ang among pagsangyaw kawang lamang, ug ang inyong pagtuo usab kawang lamang.
15 [If it is true that] no one will be raised from the dead {[that God] will not cause anyone to become alive again after he dies}, we [(exc)] have been guilty of lying to you about God, because we told you that God caused Christ to become alive again.
Ug kita makaplagan nga mini nga mga saksi mahitungod sa Dios, tungod kay kita nagpamatuod batok sa Dios, sa pag-ingon nga siya nagbanhaw kang Cristo bisan wala man diay.
16 But if it were really true that no one who has died will be raised {that [God will] not cause anyone who has died to become alive} again, then Christ was not raised {[he] did not cause Christ to become alive} again either!
Kay kung ang mga patay dili banhawon, pasabot nga bisan si Cristo wala usab mabanhaw.
17 If it were true that Christ was not raised {that [God] did not cause Christ to become alive} again after he died, you have believed in Christ for nothing, [because] God will still [punish] you for [MTY] your sins.
Ug kung si Cristo wala banhawa, ang inyong pagtuo kawang lamang ug kamo anaa pa gihapon sa inyong mga sala.
18 And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. (questioned)
Unya kadtong nangamatay diha kang Cristo mahanaw usab.
19 In this life [many of us have suffered much for Christ] because we confidently expect [that he will reward us in heaven]. If we have confidently expected this in vain, people should pity us more than they pity anyone else!
Kung niini lamang nga kinabuhi kita adunay pagsalig sa umaabot diha kang Cristo, sa tanang katawhan kita ang labing makaluluoy.
20 But [the truth is that] Christ has been raised from the dead {that [God] has caused Christ to live again after he had died}, and (that guarantees/because of that, it is certain) [MET] that he will also cause those [believers] who have died [EUP] to become alive again.
Apan karon si Cristo gibanhaw gikan sa mga patay, ang unang mga bunga niadtong mga nangamatay.
21 What one man, [Adam, did affects us all]. We all die. Similarly, what one man—[Christ]—did [affects us(inc) all]: God will cause [all believers] to become alive again.
Kay sanglit ang kamatayon miabot pinaagi sa usa ka tawo, pinaagi usab sa usa ka tawo miabot ang pagkabanhaw sa mga patay.
22 Because of what Adam did, all [of us who are descended] from him die. Similarly, because of what [Christ did], all of us who have a close relationship with him will be brought back to life {[God] will make alive all of us who have a close relationship with Christ}.
Kay tungod kang Adan ang tanan mamatay, busa diha usab kang Cristo ang tanan mahimong buhi.
23 But we must all take our turn. [God raised] Christ first [MET]. And when Christ returns, [God will cause] those who belong to Christ to become alive again.
Apan ang tagsatagsa anaay kaugalingon nga han-ay: Kang Cristo, nga mao ang unang mga bunga, ug unya kadtong nahisakop kang Cristo mabuhi sa iyang pag-abot.
24 Then, after Christ has destroyed all [DOU] the evil powers that oppose God, [the world] will end. Then Christ will give to God, his Father, his kingdom to completely rule over it.
Unya mao na ang kataposan, sa diha nga si Cristo motugyan sa gingharian ngadto sa Dios nga Amahan. Mao kini ang panahon nga iyang wagtangon ang tanan nga mando, ug tanan nga pamunoan ug gahom.
25 You must realize that Christ must rule [here on earth] until he has completely defeated [MTY] all his enemies.
Kay kinahanglan nga siya maghari, hangtod nga mabutang niya ang tanan niyang mga kaaway ilalom sa iyang mga tiil.
26 The last thing that [he] will get rid of is death. [But he certainly will get rid of death, which is like] an enemy [to us].
Ang kataposan nga kaaway nga pagalaglagon mao ang kamatayon.
27 [In the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] God will cause everything to be under Christ’s [authority] [MTY]. But it is clear that the word ‘everything’ here does not include God, because God is the one who will cause everything to be under Christ’s [authority] [MTY].
Kay “iyang gibutang ang tanang butang ubos sa iyang mga tiil.” Apan sa dihang giingon nga “iyang gibutang ang tanan,” kini tataw nga dili lakip ang usa nga nagbutang sa tanan ilalom sa iyang kaugalingon.
28 After everything is put under [the authority of] God’s Son, then Christ will put himself completely under [the authority of] God, the one who gave him that authority. Then God will be completely in control of everything [IDM], everywhere.
Sa dihang ang tanang mga butang napailalom kaniya, nagpasabot nga mismo ang Anak mahimong ilamom kaniya nga nagpailalom sa tanang butang diha kaninya. Kini mahitabo aron nga ang Dios nga Amahan mahimong tanan sa tanan.
29 [Now think about this: Some among you] are being baptized (OR, are baptizing people) on behalf of those who died [before someone baptized them] (OR, who died [before they became believers]). If, [as some people say, believers] will not be raised [from the dead] {[God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again}, (what is the value in those people doing that?/there is no value in those people doing that!) [RHQ] If [God] will not cause any [believers] to become alive again, it is senseless to be baptized {baptize anyone} on behalf of someone who has died. [RHQ]
O kon dili unsa man ang mahimo niadtong gibawtismohan alang sa mga patay? Kung ang mga patay wala gayod gibanhaw, nganong gibawtismohan man sila alang kanila?
30 Furthermore, [if God will not cause us believers to become alive again], it is [RHQ] very foolish for me and the other apostles to be constantly [putting ourselves] in danger [because we tell people the gospel].
Ug nganong sa matag takna anaa man kita sa kakuyaw?
31 My fellow believers, every day I [am in danger of] being killed {people killing me}! That is as true as it is that I am pleased with you because of your close relationship with Christ Jesus our Lord.
Namatay ako sa matag adlaw. Kana mao ang ipahayag ko sa akong pagpasigarbo nganha kaninyo, mga kaigsoonan, nga akong nabatonan diha kang Cristo Jesus nga atong Ginoo.
32 [If God will not cause us believers to become alive again after we die], (I will receive no benefit at all [from having opposed those who attacked me so strongly] in Ephesus [city]./what will I gain [from having opposed those who attacked me so strongly] in Ephesus [city]?) [RHQ] They were [fighting me like] wild beasts! If we [believers] will not be raised [from the dead] {If [God] will not cause us [believers] to live again}, we might as well say [as people often say]: “Tomorrow we are going to die, so we might as well enjoy now everything that we can. We might as well feast and get drunk!”
Unsa man ang akong maangkon, gikan sa usa ka tawhanong panglantaw, kung nakig-away ako batok sa mga mapintas nga mananap didto sa Efeso, kung wala mabanhaw ang mga patay? “Mangaon kita ug manginom, kay ugma mangamatay kita.”
33 Do not let [yourselves be deceived by those who say that God will not cause believers to live again] {Do not let [people who say that God will not cause believers to live again] deceive you}. If you associate with evil people [who say such things], they will (influence you to do evil things/destroy your good moral way of living).
Ayaw pagpalimbong: “Ang daotang mga kauban makadaot sa maayong mga pamatasan.”
34 Start thinking correctly again [about these matters], as you should, and [stop your sinful behavior which has resulted from] your wrong thinking. [I say that] because [it seems that] some among you do not know God, and as a result they [are thinking wrongly]. I say that to make you ashamed.
Pagmatngon! Pagpuyo nga matarong! Ayaw pagpakasala. Kay ang pipila kaninyo walay kahibalo sa Dios. Isulti ko kini aron maulawan kamo.
35 But some of you are asking, “How will dead people be raised {How will [God] cause dead people to become alive} again? What kind of bodies will they have?”
Apan moingon ang usa ka tawo, “Unsaon man pagkabanhaw sa mga patay? Ug sa unsa man nga matang sa lawas sila moabot?”
36 [Anyone who asks such questions is] foolish. You [know that] a seed that is planted in the ground must completely change its form [MET] before it sprouts.
Wala gayod kamoy alamag! Kung unsa ang inyong gipugas dili magsugod sa pagtubo gawas kon kini mamatay.
37 A seed, such as a wheat seed, is very different from the plant that sprouts from it.
Ug kung unsa ang inyong gipugas dili mao ang lawas nga mogula, apan usa ka binhi. Mamahimo kining trigo o lain pang butang.
38 God gives everything that lives the form that he desires. He gives each seed its own form.
Apan ang Dios magahatag niini ug lawas nga maoy iyang gipili, ug sa matag binhi ang iyang kaugalingon nga lawas.
39 [Similarly], people, animals, birds, and fish all have flesh, but each one has a different kind of flesh.
Dili ang tanan nga unod managsama. Hinuon, adunay usa ka unod sa mga tawo, ug laing unod alang sa mga mananap, ug lain pang unod alang sa mga langgam, ug lain alang sa isda.
40 Also, there are angelic beings in heaven (OR, stars and planets in the sky), and there are people with bodies on the earth. The angelic beings (OR, stars and planets) are beautiful in one way, and people on earth are beautiful in a different way.
Aduna usab langitnon nga mga lawas ug yutan-on nga mga lawas. Apan ang himaya sa langitnon nga lawas usa ka matang ug ang himaya sa yutan-on lahi usab.
41 The sun is bright in one way, and the moon is bright in a different way, and the stars are bright in a different way. And even the various stars are different from each other in how bright they are.
Adunay usa ka himaya sa adlaw, ug laing himaya sa bulan, ug laing himaya sa mga bituon. Kay ang himaya sa usa ka bituon lahi kaysa lain pa nga bituon.
42 And it is the same way [with our bodies. The bodies that we will have when God causes us] to live again after we die [will not be the same as the bodies that we have now] [MET]. [The bodies that we have now] will die and decay. [The new bodies that we will have] will never die.
Mao usab ang pagkabanhaw sa mga patay. Kung unsa ang ginapugas madunoton, ug kadtong gibanhaw dili madunot.
43 We despise [the bodies that we have now], before we die. But our [new bodies] will be glorious. The [bodies that we have before we die] are weak. But our new bodies will be strong.
Kini gipugas sa kaulawan; kini gibanhaw sa himaya. Kini gipugas sa kahuyang; kini gibanhaw sa gahom.
44 The bodies that we have before we die are natural bodies. But [our new bodies] will be ones that [God’s] Spirit ([controls/gives us]). Just like there are natural bodies, there are bodies that [God’s] Spirit [completely] controls (OR, makes alive).
Kini gipugas sa usa ka tawhanon nga lawas; kini gibanhaw sa usa ka espirituhanon nga lawas. Kung adunay tawhanon nga lawas, adunay espirituhanon usab nga lawas.
45 [In the Scriptures] it is written {we read} that [when] the first man, Adam, [was created], he became a living human being. [Christ later also became a human being]. But [he is different from Adam, because he] became a person who gives us [spiritual] life.
Busa kini nahisulat usab, “Ang unang tawo nga si Adan nahimong buhi nga kalag.” Ang kataposan nga Adan nahimong usa ka nagahatag ug kinabuhi nga espiritu.
46 But our bodies that God’s Spirit (will completely control/will give us) are not the first bodies that we have. We have our natural bodies first.
Apan ang espirituhanon wala nahiuna ug abot apan ang lawasnon, ug unya ang espirituhanon.
47 The first man, [Adam], was created {[God] created the first man, Adam} from the dust of the earth. But [Christ], the one who came later, came from heaven.
Ang nauna nga tawo iya sa yuta, hinimo sa abog. Ang ikaduha nga tawo gikan sa langit.
48 Everyone on earth [has a body] like the first man on the earth had. And in heaven, [everyone will have a body like Christ], the man who came from heaven, has.
Kadtong mga hinimo sa abog sama usab kaniya nga hinimo sa abog. Ug kadtong mga hinimo sa langit, sama usab kaniya nga iya sa langit.
49 And just like [God] gave us bodies like the first man on earth had, so we [believers will have bodies] like [Christ] has, who is now in heaven.
Ingon nga gidala nato ang panagway sa tawo sa abog, dalhon usab nato ang panagway sa tawo sa langit.
50 My fellow believers, I want you to know that we [(inc)] [SYN] cannot go [to heaven, where] God rules [over everything], with our physical bodies, because our bodies [cannot last forever]. They will die and decay.
Karon isulti ko kini, mga igsoon, nga ang unod ug dugo dili makapanunod sa gingharian sa Dios. Ni unsa ang madunot makapanunod sa unsa ang dili madunot.
51 But I will tell you something that [God] has not revealed [before]: [Some of] us [believers] will not die [EUP]. However, all of us will be changed {[God] will change all of us}.
Tan-awa! Sultihan ko kamo sa usa ka tinago nga kamatuoran: Kitang tanan dili mamatay, apan kitang tanan mausab.
52 [It will happen] suddenly, as [fast as someone can] blink his eye [MET], when [we hear the sound of God’s] trumpet for the last time. When we hear that trumpet, all [the believers] who have died will come back to life and will have bodies that are changed {that [God] has changed}, bodies that will never decay.
Kita mangausab sa usa ka gutlo, sa pagpamilok sa mata, diha sa kataposan nga trumpeta. Kay patingogon ang trumpeta, ug pagabanhawon ang mga patay ug dili na madunot, ug kita mausab.
53 And the [bodies of us who are alive at that time] will [also] be changed {And [God] will [also] change the [bodies of us who are alive at that time]}. These bodies of ours that die and decay must be transformed into [new bodies that] will never die; [it will be like someone] [MET] getting rid of [his old clothes] and putting on [new ones].
Kay kining madunot nga lawas kinahanglan masul-oban sa kung unsa ang dili madunot, ug kining adunay kamatayon nga lawas kinahanglan masul-oban sa walay kamatayon.
54 When that happens, what is written {what ([a prophet/Isaiah]) wrote} [in the Scriptures] will come true/happen: [God] will completely get rid of [MET] death. Our dying will no longer have any power to defeat us;
Apan sa dihang kining madunot nga lawas masul-oban sa kon unsa ang dili madunot, ug sa dihang kining lawas nga mamatay masul-oban sa walay kamatayon, unya matuman na ang panultihon nga nahisulat, “Ang kamatayon gilamoy diha sa kadaogan.”
“Kamatayon, hain ang imong kadaogan? Kamatayon, hain ang imong kasakit?” (Hadēs g86)
56 It is because we sin [MET] [that we die, and it is because we] have God’s laws that we [know that we] have sinned.
Ang kasakit sa kamatayon mao ang sala, ug ang gahom sa sala mao ang balaod.
57 But because of what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done], he enables us to be free [from having to obey God’s laws to be saved and to be free of being afraid to die]. We should thank God for that!
Apan salamat sa Dios, nga maoy naghatag kanato sa kadaogan pinaagi sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo!
58 So, my fellow believers whom I love, continue to hold strongly to [the things that you believe]. Do not let anything cause you to doubt them. Always be doing enthusiastically the work that the Lord [gives you]. And remember that the work that you do for the Lord is never (in vain/useless), [as it would be if God will not cause us to live again after we die].
Busa, akong hinigugma nga mga kaigsoonan, pagmalig-on ug ayaw pagpatarog. Kanunay nga magmadagayaon sa buhat sa Ginoo, tungod kay kamo nasayod nga ang inyong buhat sa Ginoo dili makawang.
