1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I remind you, brothers, of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you received and on which you stand.
Frè m' yo, mwen vle fè nou chonje bon nouvèl mwen te anonse nou an, bon nouvèl nou te resevwa a. Se ladan l' tou nou kanpe byen fèm.
2 It is by this gospel that you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
Se li menm k'ap delivre nou tou, depi nou kenbe l' jan mwen te anonse l' ban nou an. Si se pa konsa, se ta pou gremesi nou ta mete konfyans nou nan Bondye.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
Bagay mwen te moutre nou, se sa mwen menm mwen te resevwa. Se yo menm ki pi konsekan. Men yo: Kris te mouri pou peche nou, dapre sa ki ekri nan Liv la.
4 that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
Yo te antere l', li te leve soti vivan sou twa jou apre l' te fin mouri, jan sa te ekri nan Liv la tou.
5 Christ appeared to Cephas, and then to the twelve;
Li te fè Pyè wè li. Lèfini li te fè douz apòt yo wè l' tou.
6 then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once. Most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.
Apre sa, li te fè pou pi piti senksan (500) frè wè l' anmenmtan. Gen ladan yo ki mouri deja, men pifò ladan yo ap viv jouk koulye a toujou.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Yon lòt fwa li te parèt ankò, li te fè Jak wè li. Apre sa, li te fè tout lòt apòt yo wè l' ankò.
8 Last of all, he appeared to me, as if to a child born at the wrong time.
Apre tout moun sa yo, li te fè m' wè l' tou, mwen menm ki tou sanble yon pitit ki fèt anvan tèm.
9 For I am the least of the apostles. I am unworthy to be called an apostle because I persecuted the church of God.
Se mwen menm ki pi piti nan apòt yo. Mwen pa menm merite pou yo ta rele m' apòt, pou jan m' te pèsekite legliz Bondye a.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace in me was not in vain. Instead, I worked harder than all of them. Yet it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.
Se favè Bondye fè m' lan ki fè m' sa m' ye a. Men, li pa t' gaspiye favè l' lè li te fè sa pou mwen. Okontrè, mwen travay pase tout lòt apòt yo. Men, pou di vre, se pa mwen menm ki fè travay sa yo, se favè Bondye fè m' lan ki fè sa konsa.
11 Therefore whether it is I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
Se sak fè, kit se mwen, kit se lòt apòt yo, sa m' sot di a, se sa nou tout n'ap fè moun konnen, se pa nan lòt bagay nou te kwè.
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
Men sa n'ap fè nou konnen an: Kris la te leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Bon. Kouman fè gen lòt moun nan mitan nou k'ap di moun mouri yo p'ap leve ankò?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;
Si moun mouri yo p'ap leve ankò, Kris la tou pa te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
Si Kris la pa te leve soti vivan nan lanmò, mwen menm mwen pa ta gen anyen pou m' anonse nou, epi nou menm, nou pa ta gen anyen pou nou kwè.
15 Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we testified against God, saying he raised up Christ when he did not.
Sa ki pi rèd ankò, yo ta mèt di n'ap fè manti sou Bondye lè nou di Bondye te fè Kris la leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Paske sa pa ta vre, si moun mouri pa leve.
16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;
Si moun mouri pa ka leve, Kris la tou pa te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain and you are still in your sins.
Si Kris la pa te leve soti vivan nan lanmò, sa nou te kwè a pa ta vo anyen, paske nou ta toujou ap viv nan peche nou yo.
18 Then those who have died in Christ have also perished.
Konsa tou, tout moun sa yo ki te kwè nan Kris la epi ki mouri deja, yo tout se moun ki pèdi nèt tou.
19 If only in this life we have hope in Christ, of all people we are most to be pitied.
Si espwa nou gen nan Kris la se sèlman pou lavi sa a li bon, nou se moun ki pi malere ki ta gen sou latè.
20 But now Christ, who is the firstfruits of those who died, has been raised from the dead.
Men, se pa konsa bagay la ye. Okontrè. Kris la te leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Konsa li bay garanti tout moun ki mouri gen pou leve vivan ankò.
21 For since death came by a man, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
Paske menm jan se yon sèl moun ki fè lanmò antre sou latè, menm jan an tou se yon sèl moun ki fè moun ki mouri yo kapab leve vivan ankò.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
Menm jan tout moun gen pou mouri paske yo fè yonn ak Adan, konsa tou, tout moun ki fè yonn ak Kris la ap gen lavi ankò.
23 But each in his own order: Christ, who is the firstfruits, and then those who belong to Christ will be made alive at his coming.
Men, chak moun va leve soti nan lanmò nan tan pa yo: Kris la an premye anvan tout moun, apre sa, moun ki pou Kris la, se va tou pa yo pou yo leve soti vivan lè Kris la va tounen ankò.
24 Then will be the end, when Christ will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. This is when he will abolish all rule and all authority and power.
Apre sa, se va lafen. Lè sa a, Kris la menm pral kraze tout chèf, tout otorite ak tout pouvwa. Lè l' fini, l'ap renmèt gouvènman peyi kote li wa a nan men Bondye Papa a.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
Paske Kris la gen pou l' gouvènen tankou yon wa jouk lè Bondye va fin genyen batay la nèt sou tout lènmi l' yo, pou l' mete yo anba pye li.
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
Nan tout lènmi l' yo, se lanmò k'ap kraze an dènye.
27 For “he has put everything under his feet.” But when it says “he has put everything,” it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to himself.
Se sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Bondye mete tout bagay anba pye li. Men, lè yo di: tout bagay, nou tou konprann Bondye pa ladan l', paske se li menm k'ap mete tout bagay sou lòd Kris la.
28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who put all things into subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
Apre tout bagay va vin sou lòd Kris la, li menm, Pitit la, li va soumèt tèt li devan Bondye ki va mete tout bagay anba pye li. Konsa, Bondye li menm va donminen nèt sou tout bagay.
29 Or else what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they baptized for them?
Koulye a ann konsidere moun ki resevwa batèm pou moun ki mouri deja yo: Dèyè kisa yo te ye menm lè yo te fè sa? Si se vre moun mouri pa janm leve jan yo di a, poukisa pou yo te resevwa batèm pou moun ki mouri deja yo?
30 Why then, are we in danger every hour?
Epi mwen menm atò, poukisa tout tan m'ap riske lavi mwen konsa?
31 Every day I face death! This is as sure as my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Frè m' yo, se chak jou m'ap manke mouri. Si m' di nou sa, se paske nou fè mwen kontan anpil jan nou viv ansanm nan Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
32 What do I gain, from a human point of view, if I fought with beasts at Ephesus, if the dead are not raised? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
Si se te pou rezon lèzòm mete nan tèt yo mwen te goumen yon jan tankou ak bèt fewòs isit nan lavil Efèz la, ki avantaj mwen jwenn nan sa? Yon fwa moun ki mouri p'ap janm leve vivan ankò, ann fè tankou pwovèb la di: Ann manje, ann bwè, paske denmen n'ap mouri.
33 Be not deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
Piga nou twonpe tèt nou: move zanmi gate bon levasyon.
34 Sober up! Live righteously! Do not keep sinning. For some of you have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
Reprann bon sans nou. Sispann fè peche. M'ap di nou sa pou m' fè nou manyè wont, paske gen anpil nan nou ki pa konn Bondye menm.
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body will they come?”
Men, yon moun va mande m': Ki jan moun ki mouri yo pral leve soti vivan nan lanmò? Ki kalite kò yo va genyen?
36 You are so ignorant! What you sow will not start to grow unless it dies.
Ou pa konprann anyen, monchè! Lè ou simen yon grenn nan tè, li pa ka leve si l' pa mouri anvan.
37 What you sow is not the body that will be, but a bare seed. It may become wheat or something else.
Sa ou simen an, se yon grenn li ye, se ka yon grenn mayi, se ka yon lòt kalite grenn. Ou pa janm plante plant lan menm.
38 But God will give it a body as he chooses, and to each seed its own body.
Bondye fè chak grenn pouse jan li vle. Li bay chak plant fòm ki ale ak yo.
39 Not all flesh is the same. Instead, there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh for animals, and another flesh for birds, and another for fish.
Tout vyann pa menm vyann. Moun gen yon kalite vyann, bèt kat pa t' gen yon lòt kalite vyann, zwazo gen yon lòt kalite vyann, pwason yo gen yon lòt kalite vyann ankò.
40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly body is one kind and the glory of the earthly is another.
Konsa tou, gen kò ki fèt pou syèl la, gen kò ki fèt pou tè a. Men, yo chak bèl nan jan pa yo: Kò ki fèt pou syèl la gen yon bèlte ki pa menm ak bèlte kò ki fèt pou tè a.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars. For one star differs from another star in glory.
Limyè solèy la gen bèlte pa l', lalin lan gen bèlte pa l', zetwal yo gen bèlte pa yo tou. Menm nan zetwal yo, yo chak gen bèlte pa yo.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, and what is raised is imperishable.
Se menm jan an sa pral ye lè moun ki mouri yo va leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Lè yo te antere kò a, se te yon kò ki te kapab pouri. Men, lè kò a va leve soti vivan nan lanmò, l'ap yon kò ki p'ap kapab pouri.
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
Lè yo te antere l', li te yon kò tou lèd, tou fèb. Men, lè li va leve vivan ankò, l'ap bèl, l'ap gen fòs.
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.
Lè yo te antere l', li te yon kò ki fèt ak labou. Men, lè la leve vivan, l'ap tounen yon kò ki sòti nan Lespri. Si gen yon kò ki fèt ak labou, fòk gen yon kò ki soti nan Lespri tou.
45 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Se nan sans sa a yo te ekri: Bondye te kreye premye nonm lan, Adan, ak yon kò ki gen lavi. Men, dènye Adan an, se yon lespri ki bay lavi.
46 But the spiritual did not come first but the natural, and then the spiritual.
Se pa kò ki soti nan Lespri a ki te vin an premye. Se kò ki fèt ak labou a ki te la anvan, kò ki soti nan Lespri a vin apre.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is from heaven.
Premye Adan an, Bondye te fè l' ak pousyè tè. Men, dezyèm Adan an, li menm se nan syèl li soti.
48 Just as the one made from dust is, so also are those who are made of the dust, and as the man of heaven is, so also are those who are of heaven.
Tout moun ki pou latè, yo sanble ak moun ki te fèt ak tè a. Tout moun ki pou syèl la, yo sanble ak moun ki soti nan syèl la.
49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.
Menm jan nou te sanble ak moun ki te fèt ak tè a, konsa tou nou gen pou n' sanble ak moun ki soti nan syèl la.
50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither does what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
Men sa mwen vle di, frè m' yo: Tou sa ki fèt ak vyann epi ak san pa gen plas pou yo nan Peyi kote Bondye wa a. Sa ki fèt pou pouri a pa ka resevwa pouvwa pou l' pa janm pouri.
51 Look! I tell you a secret truth: We will not all die, but we will all be changed.
M'ap devwale nou yon sekrè: Se pa nou tout k'ap gen tan mouri. Men, nou tout nou gen pou n' chanje fòm nan yon ti kadè,
52 We will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
anvan nou bat je nou, lè dènye kout klewon an va kònen. Paske, lè klewon an va kònen, moun ki te mouri deja yo va leve soti vivan pou yo pa janm mouri ankò. Apre sa, nou tout nou va chanje fòm.
53 For this perishable body must put on what is imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
Paske, moun ki gen kò ki fèt pou pouri a, yo gen pou yo resevwa yon lòt kò ki p'ap ka pouri. Moun ki gen kò k'ap mouri a, yo gen pou yo resevwa yon lòt kò ki p'ap janm mouri.
54 But when this perishable body has put on what is imperishable, and when this mortal body has put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Lè moun ki gen kò ki fèt pou pouri a va resevwa kò ki p'ap ka pouri ankò a, lè moun ki gen kò k'ap mouri a va resevwa kò ki pa ka mouri a, lè sa a, pawòl ki ekri nan Liv la va rive vre: Pa gen lanmò ankò, nou genyen batay la nèt.
Lanmò! Kote batay ou genyen an? Lanmò! Kote pouvwa ou te gen pou fè nou lapenn lan? (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Se peche ki bay lanmò pouvwa pou fè nou lapenn. Se lalwa a ki bay peche a tout fòs li.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Men, ann di Bondye mèsi, li menm ki fè nou genyen batay la sou lanmò gremesi Jezikri, Seyè nou an!
58 Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always abound in the work of the Lord, because you know that your work in the Lord is not in vain.
Konsa, frè m' yo, kenbe fèm, pa brannen. Se pou n' toujou pi cho nan travay Seyè a, paske nou konnen travay n'ap fè pandan n'ap viv ansanm ak Seyè a p'ap janm pèdi.
