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.
Și acum, fraților, vă vestesc, fraților, vestea cea bună pe care v-am propovăduit-o, pe care și voi ați primit-o, în care și voi stați în picioare,
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)!
prin care și voi sunteți mântuiți, dacă țineți cu tărie cuvântul pe care vi l-am propovăduit, dacă n-ați crezut în zadar.
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].
Căci v-am dat mai întâi ceea ce am primit și eu: că Hristos a murit pentru păcatele noastre, după Scripturi,
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].
că a fost îngropat, că a înviat a treia zi, după Scripturi,
5 After that, [Christ] was seen by {appeared to} Peter. Then he appeared to [eleven of] the [original] twelve [apostles].
și că S-a arătat lui Cefa, apoi celor doisprezece.
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].
Apoi s-a arătat deodată la peste cinci sute de frați, dintre care cei mai mulți au rămas până acum, dar și unii au adormit.
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.
Apoi s-a arătat lui Iacov, apoi tuturor apostolilor,
8 Finally, he was seen by {appeared to} me, but I became an apostle in a way that was very unusual [MET].
și, în cele din urmă, ca unui copil născut la timpul nepotrivit, mi s-a arătat și mie.
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].
Căci eu sunt cel mai mic dintre apostoli, care nu sunt vrednic să mă numesc apostol, pentru că am prigonit Adunarea lui Dumnezeu.
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.
Dar, prin harul lui Dumnezeu, sunt ceea ce sunt. Harul care mi-a fost dat nu a fost zadarnic, ci am lucrat mai mult decât toți aceștia; dar nu eu, ci harul lui Dumnezeu care era cu mine.
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.
Așadar, fie că sunt eu, fie că sunt ei, așa propovăduim noi și așa ați crezut și voi.
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]
Și dacă se propovăduiește că Hristos a înviat din morți, cum zic unii dintre voi că nu este înviere a morților?
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}!
Dar dacă nu există înviere a morților, nici Hristos nu a înviat.
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.
Dacă Hristos nu a înviat, atunci propovăduirea noastră este zadarnică și credința voastră este și ea zadarnică.
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.
Da, și noi am fost găsiți martori falși ai lui Dumnezeu, pentru că am mărturisit despre Dumnezeu că L-a înviat pe Hristos, pe care nu L-a înviat, dacă este adevărat că morții nu învie.
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!
Căci dacă morții nu au înviat, nici Hristos nu a înviat.
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.
Dacă Hristos nu a înviat, credința voastră este zadarnică; sunteți încă în păcatele voastre.
18 And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. (questioned)
Atunci și cei care au adormit în Hristos au pierit.
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!
Dacă am nădăjduit în Hristos numai în această viață, suntem dintre toți oamenii cei mai jalnici.
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.
Dar acum Hristos a înviat din morți. El a devenit cel dintâi rod al celor adormiți.
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.
Căci, de vreme ce moartea a venit prin om, tot prin om a venit și învierea morților.
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}.
Căci, după cum în Adam toți mor în Adam, tot așa și în Hristos toți vor fi înviați.
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.
Dar fiecare în ordinea sa: Hristos cel dintâi rod, apoi cei ce sunt ai lui Hristos la venirea Lui.
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.
Apoi vine sfârșitul, când va preda Împărăția lui Dumnezeu Tatăl, când va desființa orice stăpânire și orice autoritate și putere.
25 You must realize that Christ must rule [here on earth] until he has completely defeated [MTY] all his enemies.
Căci trebuie să domnească până când va pune pe toți vrăjmașii Săi sub picioarele Sale.
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].
Ultimul dușman care va fi desființat este moartea.
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].
Căci “El a supus toate lucrurile sub picioarele Sale”. Dar când spune: “Toate lucrurile sunt supuse”, este evident că este exceptat cel care i-a supus toate lucrurile.
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.
După ce toate lucrurile i-au fost supuse, atunci și Fiul însuși va fi supus celui care i-a supus toate lucrurile, pentru ca Dumnezeu să fie totul în toți.
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]
Altfel, ce vor face cei ce sunt botezați pentru cei morți? Dacă morții nu înviază deloc, atunci de ce sunt botezați pentru cei morți?
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].
De ce stăm și noi în primejdie în fiecare oră?
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.
Afirm că, prin lăudăroșia pe care o am în voi, pe care o am în Hristos Isus, Domnul nostru, mor în fiecare zi.
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!”
Dacă m-am luptat cu animalele la Efes pentru scopuri omenești, ce-mi folosește mie? Dacă morții nu învie, atunci “să mâncăm și să bem, căci mâine murim”.
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).
Nu vă lăsați înșelați! “Tovărășiile rele corup bunele moravuri”.
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.
Treziți-vă cu dreptate și nu păcătuiți, căci unii nu au cunoștință de Dumnezeu. Vă spun acest lucru spre rușinea voastră.
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?”
Dar cineva va zice: “Cum înviază morții?” și: “Cu ce fel de trup vin ei?”
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.
Nebunule, ceea ce tu însuți semeni nu se face viu decât dacă moare.
37 A seed, such as a wheat seed, is very different from the plant that sprouts from it.
Ceea ce semeni tu însuți, nu semeni trupul care va fi, ci un bob gol, poate de grâu sau de alt fel.
38 God gives everything that lives the form that he desires. He gives each seed its own form.
Dar Dumnezeu îi dă un trup, așa cum i-a plăcut lui, și fiecărei semințe un trup propriu.
39 [Similarly], people, animals, birds, and fish all have flesh, but each one has a different kind of flesh.
Nu toate trupurile nu sunt același trup, ci există un trup al oamenilor, un alt trup al animalelor, altul al peștilor și altul al păsărilor.
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.
Există, de asemenea, corpuri cerești și corpuri terestre; dar slava celor cerești diferă de cea a celor terestre.
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.
Există o glorie a soarelui, o altă glorie a lunii și o altă glorie a stelelor; căci o stea diferă de o altă stea în ceea ce privește gloria.
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.
Tot așa și învierea morților. Trupul este semănat stricăcios, dar înviază nepieritor.
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.
Este semănat în dezonoare; este înviat în glorie. Este semănat în slăbiciune; este înviat în putere.
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).
Este semănat un trup natural; este înviat un trup spiritual. Există un trup natural și există și un trup spiritual.
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.
Tot așa este scris: “Cel dintâi om, Adam, a devenit un suflet viu.” Ultimul Adam a devenit un duh dătător de viață.
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.
Totuși, nu ceea ce este spiritual este primul, ci ceea ce este natural, apoi ceea ce este spiritual.
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.
Primul om este de pe pământ, făcut din țărână. Al doilea om este Domnul din ceruri.
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.
Cum este cel făcut din țărână, așa sunt și cei care sunt făcuți din țărână; și cum este cel ceresc, așa sunt și cei care sunt cerești.
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.
După cum am purtat chipul celor făcuți din țărână, să purtăm și noi chipul celor cerești.
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.
Acum, fraților, vă spun următoarele: carnea și sângele nu pot moșteni Împărăția lui Dumnezeu; nici ceea ce este pieritor nu moștenește ceea ce este nepieritor.
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}.
Iată, vă spun o taină. Nu toți vom dormi, ci toți vom fi schimbați,
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.
într-o clipă, într-o clipită, într-o clipeală de ochi, la ultima trâmbiță. Căci trâmbița va suna și morții vor fi înviați incoruptibili, iar noi vom fi schimbați.
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].
Căci acest trup pieritor trebuie să devină nepieritor și acest muritor trebuie să se îmbrace în nemurire.
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;
Dar când acest trup perisabil va deveni nepieritor și acest muritor se va îmbrăca în nemurire, atunci se va întâmpla ceea ce este scris: “Moartea este înghițită de biruință”.
“Moarte, unde este înțepătura ta? Hades, unde este victoria ta?” (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.
Înțepătura morții este păcatul, și puterea păcatului este legea.
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!
Dar mulțumiri fie aduse lui Dumnezeu, care ne dă biruința prin Domnul nostru Isus Hristos.
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].
De aceea, iubiții mei frați, fiți statornici, neclintiți, sporind mereu în lucrarea Domnului, pentru că știți că munca voastră nu este în zadar în Domnul.
