1 Korint 15
1 Koulye a, mwen fè konnen a nou menm, frè m yo, levanjil ke mwen te preche a nou an, ke osi nou te resevwa a ladann osi nou kanpe.
And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
2 Pa li menm osi nou ap sove, si nou kenbe fèm a pawòl ke m te preche a nou an, amwenske nou te kwè anven.
By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
3 Paske mwen te livre a nou kon bagay ki pi enpòtan nan sa ke mwen osi te resevwa a, ke Kris la te mouri pou peche nou yo selon Ekriti sen yo,
For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
4 ke Li te antere, e ke Li te leve nan twazyèm jou a selon Ekriti yo.
and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
5 Epi ke Li te parèt a Céphas, e answit, a douz yo.
and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
6 Apre sa, Li te parèt a plis ke senk san frè yon sèl kou, pifò nan yo rete la jiska prezan, malgre kèk nan yo gen tan mouri.
Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
7 Answit Li te parèt a Jacques, e answit tout apot yo.
Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
8 Epi an dènye, tankou youn pitit ki pa t fèt nan pwòp moman an, Li te parèt a mwen menm tou.
And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.
9 Paske mwen se pi piti a pami apot yo, e ki pa menm dign pou rele apot, paske mwen te konn pèsekite legliz Bondye a.
For I am the least of the Apostles. I am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
10 Men, pa gras Bondye, mwen sa ke mwen ye a, e gras Li anvè mwen pa anven, men mwen te travay menm plis pase yo tout, malgre se pa t mwen, men gras a Bondye ki te avè m nan.
But, by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace in me has not been empty, since I have labored more abundantly than all of them. Yet it is not I, but the grace of God within me.
11 Alò, kit se te pa mwen, kit se te pa yo, konsa nou te preche, epi konsa nou tout te kwè.
For whether it is I or they: so we preach, and so you have believed.
12 Alò, si Kris la preche, ke Li te leve nan lanmò, kijan kèk pami nou ap di ke pa gen rezirèksyon mò yo?
Now if Christ is preached, that he rose again from the dead, how is it that some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Si pa gen rezirèksyon pou mò yo, menm Kris la pa t leve.
For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen.
14 Epi si Kris la pa t leve, answit nou ap preche anven, e lafwa nou osi anven.
And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is useless, and your faith is also useless.
15 Anplis ke sa, nou menm vin twouve nou kòm fo temwen a Bondye, paske nou te temwaye kont Bondye, ke Li te leve Kris la, ke Li pa t leve vrèman, si anfèt mò yo pa leve.
Then, too, we would be found to be false witnesses of God, because we would have given testimony against God, saying that he had raised up Christ, when he had not raised him up, if, indeed, the dead do not rise again.
16 Paske si mò yo pa leve, menm Kris la pa t leve.
For if the dead do not rise again, then neither has Christ risen again.
17 Epi si Kris la pa t leve, lafwa nou vin san valè, e nou toujou nan peche nou yo.
But if Christ has not risen, then your faith is vain; for you would still be in your sins.
18 Answit sila ki mouri nan Kris yo peri.
Then, too, those who have fallen asleep in Christ would have perished.
19 Konsa, si nou te mete espwa nou nan Kris sèlman nan vi sa a, nou pami moun ki pi pitwayab ke tout moun.
If we have hope in Christ for this life only, then we are more miserable than all men.
20 Men alò, Kris te vrèman leve soti nan lanmò, kon premye fwi de sila ki mouri yo.
But now Christ has risen again from the dead, as the first-fruits of those who sleep.
21 Paske si se pa yon sèl moun, lanmò te vini, pa yon moun osi, rezirèksyon mò yo te vini.
For certainly, death came through a man. And so, the resurrection of the dead came through a man
22 Paske tankou nan Adam tout moun te mouri an, menm jan an tou nan Kris tout moun va gen lavi.
And just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be brought to life,
23 Men chak moun nan pwòp lòd li: Kris, kon premye fwi yo, apre sa sila ki nan Kris yo lè L vini.
but each one in his proper order: Christ, as the first-fruits, and next, those who are of Christ, who have believed in his advent.
24 Answit va vini lafen, lè Li livre wayòm nan a Bondye, Papa a, lè Li fin aboli tout wayòm yo, tout otorite yo, avèk tout pwisans yo.
Afterwards is the end, when he will have handed over the kingdom to God the Father, when he will have emptied all principality, and authority, and power.
25 Paske fòk li renye jiskaske Li mete tout lènmi Li yo anba pye Li.
For it is necessary for him to reign, until he has set all his enemies under his feet.
26 Dènye lènmi ki va aboli a se lanmò.
Lastly, the enemy called death shall be destroyed. For he has subjected all things under his feet. And although he says,
27 Paske “Li te fè tout bagay soumèt anba pye Li.” Men lè Li di: “Tout bagay soumèt”, li byen klè ke Li menm ki te fè tout bagay soumèt a Li menm nan, pa ladann.
“All things have been subjected to him,” without doubt he does not include the One who has subjected all things to him.
28 Lè tout bagay soumèt a Li menm, answit Fis la, Li menm, osi va vin soumèt a Sila ki te soumèt tout bagay a Li menm nan, pou Bondye kapab tout nan tout bagay.
And when all things will have been subjected to him, then even the Son himself will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to him, so that God may be all in all.
29 Otreman, kisa sila yo ki batize pou mò yo va fè? Si mò yo pa leve menm, alò poukisa yo batize pou yo?
Otherwise, what will those who are being baptized for the dead do, if the dead do not rise again at all? Why then are they being baptized for them?
30 Poukisa nou menm tou, nou an danje a chak moman?
Why also do we endure trials every hour?
31 Mwen dakò fè nou konnen, frè m yo, pa fyète ke m gen nan nou, ak nan Jésus Kri Senyè nou an, mwen mouri chak jou.
Daily I die, by means of your boasting, brothers: you whom I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Si se te pou yon motif moun ke m te goumen avèk bèt sovaj chak jou an Éphèse yo, ki pwofi sa t ap ban mwen? Si mò yo pa leve “Annou manje ak bwè, paske demen n ap mouri.”
If, according to man, I fought with the beasts at Ephesus, how would that benefit me, if the dead do not rise again? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.”
33 Pa twonpe tèt nou: “Move zanmi gate bon prensip.”
Do not be led astray. Evil communication corrupts good morals.
34 Vin reflechi byen serye jan nou ta dwe fè a, e sispann fè peche; paske kèk nan nou pa menm gen konesans a Bondye. Mwen pale sa pou fè nou wont.
Be vigilant, you just ones, and do not be willing to sin. For certain persons have an ignorance of God. I say this to you with respect.
35 Men yon moun va di: “Kijan mò yo leve a?” Epi “avèk ki kalite kò yo ap vini?”
But someone may say, “How do the dead rise again?” or, “What type of body do they return with?”
36 Moun sòt! Sa ke nou simen pa kapab vin gen lavi amwenske li mouri;
How foolish! What you sow cannot be brought back to life, unless it first dies.
37 Epi sa ke nou simen an, nou pa simen kò a li menm, men yon senp ti grenn, petèt yon ble oubyen yon lòt bagay.
And what you sow is not the body that will be in the future, but a bare grain, such as of wheat, or of some other grain.
38 Men Bondye bay li yon kò jis jan ke Li te dezire a, e a chak grenn semans yo yon kò pou kont li.
For God gives it a body according to his will, and according to each seed’s proper body.
39 Tout chè pa menm kalite chè. Gen yon chè pou lòm, e yon lòt chè pou bèt, yon lòt chè pou zwazo, e yon lòt pou pwason.
Not all flesh is the same flesh. But one is indeed of men, another truly is of beasts, another is of birds, and another is of fish.
40 Gen osi kò selès ak kò tèrès, men laglwa selès la se youn, e laglwa tèrès la se yon lòt.
Also, there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But while the one, certainly, has the glory of heaven, the other has the glory of earth.
41 Gen yon glwa nan solèy la, yon lòt glwa nan lalin lan, e yon lòt nan zetwal yo; paske chak zetwal apa nan glwa li.
One has the brightness of the sun, another the brightness of the moon, and another the brightness of the stars. For even star differs from star in brightness.
42 Menm jan an tou pou rezirèksyon a mò yo. Li simen kòm yon kò perisab, men li leve kòm yon kò enperisab.
So it is also with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown in corruption shall rise to incorruption.
43 Li simen nan dezonè, li leve nan laglwa. Li simen nan feblès, li leve nan pouvwa.
What is sown in dishonor shall rise to glory. What is sown in weakness shall rise to power.
44 Li simen kòm yon kò natirèl; li leve kòm yon kò espirityèl. Si gen yon kò natirèl, anplis gen yon kò espirityèl.
What is sown with an animal body shall rise with a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual one.
45 Menm jan an osi sa ekri: “Premye lòm nan, Adam, te devni yon nanm vivan.” Dènye Adam an, Jésus Kris, yon lespri ki bay lavi.
Just as it was written that the first man, Adam, was made with a living soul, so shall the last Adam be made with a spirit brought back to life.
46 Sepandan, sa ki gen lespri a pa vini avan, men sa ki natirèl la, answit sa ki gen lespri a.
So what is, at first, not spiritual, but animal, next becomes spiritual.
47 Premye lòm nan sòti nan latè. Li se moun tèrès. Dezyèm lòm nan sòti nan syèl la.
The first man, being earthly, was of the earth; the second man, being heavenly, will be of heaven.
48 Jan tè a ye a, se konsa sila ki tèrès yo ye tou; e menm jan selès la ye a, konsa selès yo ye tou.
Such things as are like the earth are earthly; and such things as are like the heavens are heavenly.
49 Jis jan ke nou pote imaj a tèrès la, konsa osi nou va pote imaj a selès la.
And so, just as we have carried the image of what is earthly, let us also carry the image of what is heavenly.
50 Alò m ap di sa, frè m yo, ke chè ak san pa kapab eritye wayòm Bondye a; ni sa ki perisab la pa kapab eritye sa ki enperisab la.
Now I say this, brothers, because flesh and blood is not able to possess the kingdom of God; neither will what is corrupt possess what is incorrupt.
51 Gade byen, m ap di nou yon mistè. Se pa nou tout ki va mouri, men nou tout va chanje,
Behold, I tell you a mystery. Certainly, we shall all rise again, but we shall not all be transformed:
52 nan yon moman, nan yon ti bat zye, nan dènye twonpèt la. Paske twonpèt la va sone, mò yo va vin leve enperisab, e nou tout va vin chanje.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise up, incorruptible. And we shall be transformed.
53 Paske perisab la dwe abiye avèk enperisab la, e mòtèl sa a dwe abiye avèk imòtalite.
Thus, it is necessary for this corruptibility to be clothed with incorruptibility, and for this mortality to be clothed with immortality.
54 Men lè perisab sila a fin abiye avèk enperisab la, e mòtèl sila a fin abiye avèk imòtalite a, alò va vin akonpli pawòl ki ekri a: “Lanmò vin vale nèt pa viktwa.”
And when this mortality has been clothed with immortality, then the word that was written shall occur: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Doulè pikan lanmò a se peche, e pouvwa a peche a se Lalwa a.
Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 Men gras a Bondye, ki bannou viktwa atravè Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
But thanks be to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Pou sa, byeneme frè m yo, rete fidèl, san varye, toujou ranpli avèk bon zèv Senyè a, avèk konesans ke travay nou nan Senyè a pa anven.
And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not useless in the Lord.
