< 1 Corinthians 15 >

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye have received, and in which 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, if ye keep in memory what I preached to you, unless ye have 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 to you first of all, that which I also received, 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 rose again 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 was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve:
Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻa Kifasi, pea mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua:
6 After that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have 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 After that he was seen by James; then by all the apostles.
Hili ia, naʻe mamata ʻa Semisi kiate ia, pea hoko mo e kau ʻaposetolo kotoa pē.
8 And last of all he was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
Pea ne u mamata fakamui foki ʻeau kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e fānau taʻehoko.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy 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 in vain; but I labored 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 Therefore whether [it was] 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 rose 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, then is Christ not raised.
He kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu mei he mate, pea tā ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi:
14 And if Christ is not raised, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻemau malanga, pea taʻeʻaonga mo hoʻomou tui foki.
15 And indeed we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified concerning God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if in truth the dead rise not.
‌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 rise not, then is not Christ raised:
He kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻae mate pea kuo ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi:
17 And if Christ is not 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 who have 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 hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
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 is Christ raised from the dead, [and] become the first-fruits of them that slept.
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, even so 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 every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward 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 have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down 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 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 destroyed [is] death.
Ko e fili fakamui ʻe fakaʻauha, ko e mate.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under [him], [it is] manifest that he is excepted who did put all things under 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 shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under 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 will they do, who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
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 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
Pea ko e hā ʻoku tau tuʻutuʻutāmaki ai ʻi he feituʻulaʻā kotoa pē?
31 I protest by your rejoicing 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 have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow 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 communications corrupt good manners.
‌ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: “Ko e ngaahi talanoa kovi ʻoku fakahalaʻi ʻae ngaahi anga ʻoku lelei.”
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak [this] to your 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 [man] will say, How are the dead raised? and with what 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] fool, that which thou sowest is not vivified 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 that body that shall be, but bare grain; it may be of wheat, or of some other [grain]:
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 as it hath pleased him, and to every seed its own body.
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 [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of fowls.
‌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 dishonor, 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. There is a natural body, and there is 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 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam [was made] a vivifying 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 However, that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward 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] from the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from 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 show 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 trumpet; 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 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought 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.”
55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
“ʻE mate, kofaʻā haʻo huhu? ʻE faʻitoka, kofaʻā hoʻo mālohi?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength 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, who 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 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in 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.
