1 Corinthians 15
1 Next, Brothers, I would remind you of the Good News which I told you, and which you received — the Good News on which you have taken your stand,
Wachalal, kawaj kinnaꞌtaj chiꞌwe ri utz laj taq tzij ri xintzijoj chiꞌwe, xuqujeꞌ xikꞌamawaꞌj, ri ix kꞌo chupam kamik.
2 and by means of which you are being saved. I would remind you of the very 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.
Rumal we tzij riꞌ xixkolotajik we qas ix jeqel chupam. We kꞌu man ix jeqel chupam, maj rumal ri xixkojonik.
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),
Rumal cher nabꞌe na xintzijoj chiꞌwe ri xinkꞌamawaꞌj in: Ri Cristo xkꞌam rumal ri qamak jetaq ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik,
4 that he was buried, that on the third day he was raised (as the Scriptures had foretold),
xmuqiꞌk, xuqujeꞌ xkꞌastaj churox qꞌij jetaq ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik.
5 and that he appeared to Kephas, and 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 of our Brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have gone to their rest.
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 After that, he appeared to James, and then to all the Apostles.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ cho ri Jacobo, xuqujeꞌ chikiwach konojel ri e taqoꞌn.
8 Last of all, he appeared even to me, who am, as it were, the abortion.
Kꞌisbꞌal rech, xukꞌut ribꞌ chinuwach in, jer xinux ri akꞌal ri xkꞌojiꞌk man xtzꞌaqat ta ri uqꞌijal.
9 For I am the meanest of the Apostles, I who am unworthy of the name of ‘Apostle,’ because I persecuted the Church of God.
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 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.
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 Whether, then, it was I or whether it was they, this we proclaim, and this you believed.
We kꞌu in o aꞌreꞌ ne, are waꞌ ri kaqatzijoj xuqujeꞌ are waꞌ ri ikojom ix.
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?
Qilampeꞌ, we kaqatzijoj chi ri Cristo xkꞌastaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ ¿jas kꞌu che kakibꞌij jujun chiꞌwe chi maj kꞌastajibꞌal wach?
13 But, if there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then even Christ has not been raised;
We man kꞌo kꞌastajisabꞌal wach, man xkꞌastaj ta bꞌa riꞌ ri Cristo chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
14 and, if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without meaning, and our faith without meaning also!
We man xkꞌastaj ri Cristo, man kꞌo ta bꞌa kutayij riꞌ ri tzij ri kaqatzijoj, xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta kutayij riꞌ ri ikojobꞌal.
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!
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 For, if the dead do not rise, then even Christ himself has not been raised,
We man kekꞌastaj ri kaminaqibꞌ, man xkꞌastaj ta bꞌa riꞌ ri Cristo.
17 and, if Christ has not been raised, your faith is folly — your sins are on you still!
Xuqujeꞌ we man xkꞌastajik ri Cristo, man kꞌo ta bꞌa kutayij riꞌ ri ikojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ ix kꞌo bꞌa na riꞌ pa ri imak.
18 Yes, and they, who have passed to their rest in union with Christ, perished!
Xsach bꞌa kiwach riꞌ ri e kꞌo pa Cristo are xekam bꞌik.
19 If all that we have done has been to place our hope in Christ for this life, then we of all men are the most to be pitied.
We xaq xwi chirij ri Cristo kuꞌl wi qakꞌuꞌx pa we kꞌaslemal riꞌ, sibꞌalaj kꞌax qe riꞌ chkiwach konojel ri winaq.
20 But, in truth, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are at rest.
Qetaꞌm kꞌut chi ri Cristo xkꞌastaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ, nabꞌe kꞌastajel kukꞌut chiqawach chi kekꞌastaj na konojel ri xekamik.
21 For, since through a man there is death, so, too, through a man there is a resurrection of the dead.
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 For, as through union with Adam all men die, so through union with the Christ will all be made to live.
Xa rumal ri Adán konojel xekamik xuqujeꞌ xa rumal ri Cristo konojel kekꞌastaj na.
23 But each in his proper order — Christ the first-fruits; afterwards, at his Coming, those who belong to the Christ.
Konojel kꞌut kekꞌastaj na pa ucholajil, nabꞌe xkꞌastaj ri Cristo, kꞌa te riꞌ kekꞌastaj na ri e rech Cristo are katzalij loq.
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.
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 For he must reign until God ‘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 to be overthrown is death;
Ri kꞌisbꞌal kꞌulel ri katukix na are ri kamikal.
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.)
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 And, when everything has been placed under him, the Son will place himself under God who placed everything under him, that God 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 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?
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 Why, too, do we risk our lives every hour?
Ri uj kꞌut ¿jas che kaqaya qibꞌ pa kꞌax ronojel mul?
31 Daily I face death — I swear it, Brothers, by the pride in you that I feel through my union with Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Wachalal, qas tzij kinnaꞌ nimal iwumal iwe pa Cristo Jesús ri Ajawxel, pune wetaꞌm chi ronojel qꞌij tajin kinkamik.
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 to-morrow we shall 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 Do not be deceived. ‘Good character is marred by evil company.’
Misubꞌ iwibꞌ: Ri itzel taq tzijonem kutukij ri utz taq noꞌjibꞌal.
34 Awake 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.
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 Some one, however, may ask ‘How do the dead rise? and in what body will they come?’
Wine kꞌo jun kuto: ¿Jas kakibꞌan ri kaminaqibꞌ ketzalij pa ri kꞌaslemal? ¿Jas ubꞌantajik ri kityoꞌjal are kekꞌastajik?
36 You foolish man! The seed you yourself sow does not come to life, unless it dies!
Maj awetaꞌmabꞌal, ri tikoꞌn man kakꞌasiꞌ taj we man nabꞌe kakamik.
37 And when you sow, you sow not the body that will be, but a mere grain — perhaps of wheat, or something else.
Jun ijaꞌ rech tiriko o xapaskux ijaꞌ riꞌ ri tajin katiko are kꞌu ri kakꞌiy loq jaljoj cho ri katiko.
38 God gives it the body that he pleases — to each seed its special body.
Are ri Dios kabꞌanow che ri tikoꞌn jas jeꞌ ri karaj areꞌ. Chkijujunal ri ijaꞌ kubꞌan chike je kekaꞌyik jetaq ri karaj Areꞌ.
39 All forms of life are not the same; there is one for men, another for beasts, another for birds, and another for fishes.
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; but the beauty of the heavenly bodies is not the beauty of the earthly.
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 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.
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 is the same with the resurrection of the dead. Sown a mortal body, it rises immortal; sown disfigured, it rises beautiful;
Je xuqujeꞌ kakꞌulmataj rukꞌ ri kꞌastajibꞌal wach kech ri e kaminaqibꞌ. We man qas jeꞌl ubꞌanik are katikik, kakꞌastaj na pa jeꞌlal.
43 sown weak, it rises strong; sown a human body, it rises a spiritual body.
Ri katikik pa qꞌayinaqil kakꞌastaj na pa jeꞌlal. Ri tikoꞌnijik ri kabꞌan rukꞌ bꞌaqꞌoꞌtem, kakꞌastaj na rukꞌ kwinem.
44 As surely as there is a human body, there is also a spiritual body.
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 That is what is meant by the words — ‘Adam, the first man, became a human being’; the last Adam became a Life-giving spirit.
Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Ri nabꞌe achi Adán, xuxik jun kꞌaslik achi, are kꞌu ri kꞌisbꞌal Adán, are kꞌaslik uxlabꞌixel.
46 That which comes first is not the spiritual, but the human; afterwards comes the spiritual;
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 was from the dust of the earth; the second man from Heaven.
Ri nabꞌe achi che ri ulew xbꞌan wi, ri ukabꞌ achi, are Ajawxel rech ri kaj.
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.
Ri winaq ajuwachulew junam rukꞌ ri winaq ri ajuwachulew, are kꞌu ri ajchikajil junam rukꞌ ri winaq ri ajchikajil.
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.
Kamik uj junam rukꞌ ri winaq rech uwachulew, jun qꞌij kꞌu na kujjunumataj xuqujeꞌ na rukꞌ ri winaq rech chilaꞌ chikaj.
50 This I say, Brothers — Flesh and blood can have no share in the Kingdom of God, nor can the perishable share the imperishable.
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 will tell you God’s hidden purpose! We shall not all have passed to our rest, but we shall all be transformed — in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
Qas chiwilampeꞌ ri jastaq ri awatal loq kinkꞌut chiꞌwach: Man qonojel taj kujkamik, qonojel kꞌut kujkꞌexkꞌobꞌ na,
52 at the last trumpet-call; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise immortal, and we, also, shall be transformed.
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 of ours must put on an imperishable form, and this dying body a deathless form.
Rumal riꞌ rajawaxik chi ri kaqꞌayik man kaqꞌay taj, xuqujeꞌ ri kamel rij kux na winaq ri man kakam ta chik.
54 And, when this dying body has put on its deathless form, then indeed will the words of Scripture come true —
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.
55 ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory! Where, O Death, is thy victory? Where, O Death, is thy sting?’ (Hadēs g86)
¿Kamikal, jawjeꞌ xeꞌ wi ri achꞌekoj? ¿Kamikal jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri akwinem chubꞌanik kꞌax chaqe? (Hadēs g86)
56 It is sin that gives death its sting, and it is the Law that gives sin its power.
Ri kꞌax rech ri kamikal are ri makaj, ri ukwinem ri makaj are ri taqanik.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Xa kꞌu tyox che ri Dios ri kubꞌan chaqe uj chꞌekenelabꞌ rumal rech ri Jesucristo ri Ajawxel.
58 Therefore, my dear Brothers, stand firm, unshaken, always diligent in the Lord’s work, for you know that, in union with him, your toil is not in vain.
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.
