1 Korint 15
1 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.
Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 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.
by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 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.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 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.
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 Li te fè Pyè wè li. Lèfini li te fè douz apòt yo wè l' tou.
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 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.
Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 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.
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 Apre tout moun sa yo, li te fè m' wè l' tou, mwen menm ki tou sanble yon pitit ki fèt anvan tèm.
and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9 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.
For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
10 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.
But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 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.
Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
12 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?
Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Si moun mouri yo p'ap leve ankò, Kris la tou pa te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
14 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.
If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
15 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.
Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.
16 Si moun mouri pa ka leve, Kris la tou pa te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17 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.
If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18 Konsa tou, tout moun sa yo ki te kwè nan Kris la epi ki mouri deja, yo tout se moun ki pèdi nèt tou.
Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 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.
If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
20 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.
But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
21 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.
For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
22 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.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23 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.
But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.
24 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.
Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 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.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Nan tout lènmi l' yo, se lanmò k'ap kraze an dènye.
The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 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.
For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
28 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.
When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
29 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?
Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?
30 Epi mwen menm atò, poukisa tout tan m'ap riske lavi mwen konsa?
Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 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.
I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 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.
If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 Piga nou twonpe tèt nou: move zanmi gate bon levasyon.
Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
34 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.
Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35 Men, yon moun va mande m': Ki jan moun ki mouri yo pral leve soti vivan nan lanmò? Ki kalite kò yo va genyen?
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
36 Ou pa konprann anyen, monchè! Lè ou simen yon grenn nan tè, li pa ka leve si l' pa mouri anvan.
You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 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.
That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
38 Bondye fè chak grenn pouse jan li vle. Li bay chak plant fòm ki ale ak yo.
But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 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.
All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
40 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.
There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
41 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.
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42 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.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
43 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.
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 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.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
45 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.
So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 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.
However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
47 Premye Adan an, Bondye te fè l' ak pousyè tè. Men, dezyèm Adan an, li menm se nan syèl li soti.
The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 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.
As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 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.
As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 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.
Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
51 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,
Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 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.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
53 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.
For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 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.
But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Se peche ki bay lanmò pouvwa pou fè nou lapenn. Se lalwa a ki bay peche a tout fòs li.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 Men, ann di Bondye mèsi, li menm ki fè nou genyen batay la sou lanmò gremesi Jezikri, Seyè nou an!
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 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.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
