1 Korintiana 15
1 Ary ampahafantariko anareo, ry rahalahy, ny filazantsara izay notoriko taminareo sy noraisinareo sady iorenanareo,
Now I declare to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to; which, also, you have received, and in which you stand.
2 izay amonjena anareo koa, raha tananareo tsara araka izay teny notoriko taminareo, raha tsy nino foana ianareo.
By which, also, you are saved, if you retain those joyful tidings which I delivered to you; unless you believed to no purpose.
3 Fa natolotro anareo ho isan’ ny zavatra voalohany indrindra ilay noraisiko, dia izao: Kristy maty noho ny fahotantsika araka ny Soratra Masìna,
For I delivered to you, among the first things, what also I received first--that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 dia nalevina, ary natsangana tamin’ ny andro fahatelo araka ny Soratra Masìna;
and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures;
5 ary niseho tamin’ i Kefasy Izy, dia vao tamin’ ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy koa.
and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.
6 Rehefa afaka izany, dia niseho tamin’ ny rahalahy tsy omby dimam-jato Izy, ny ankamaroan’ ireny dia mbola velona mandraka ankehitriny, fa ny sasany efa nodi-mandry.
After that, he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present time, but some are fallen asleep.
7 Rehefa afaka izany, dia niseho tamin’ i Jakoba Izy, dia tamin’ ny Apostoly rehetra.
After that, he was seen by James; then, by all the Apostles.
8 Ary faran’ izy rehetra, izaho, izay toy ny tsy tonga volana aza, dia mba nisehoany koa.
And, last of all he was seen by me, as by one born out of due time.
9 Fa izaho dia ambany indrindra amin’ ny Apostoly ka tsy miendrika hatao hoe Apostoly, satria efa nanenjika ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra aho.
For I am the least of the Apostles; who am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God.
10 Fa ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra no nahatoy izao ahy; ary tsy foana ny fahasoavany ato amiko; fa efa niasa fatratra mihoatra noho izy rehetra aho, nefa tsy izaho, fa ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra no niara-niasa tamiko.
But, by the favor of God, I am what I am: and his favor which was bestowed on me, was not vain; for I have labored more abundantly than all of them; yet not I, but the favor of God, which is with me.
11 Koa na izaho na ry zareo, dia araka izany no fitorinay, ary araka izany koa no ninoanareo.
Well, then, whether I or they, so we proclaim, and so you believed.
12 Ary raha Kristy no torina fa natsangana tamin’ ny maty, ahoana no ilazan’ ny sasany eo aminareo fa tsy misy fitsanganan’ ny maty?
Now, if it be proclaimed that Christ was raised from the dead, how is it that some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Fa raha tsy misy fitsanganan’ ny maty, na dia Kristy aza dia tsy natsangana;
For if there be no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
14 ary raha tsy natsangana Kristy, dia foana ny toriteninay, ary foana koa ny finoanareo.
And if Christ has not been raised, vain, certainly, is our proclamation, and vain, also, is your faith.
15 Ary dia hita ho vavolombelona mandainga ny amin’ Andriamanitra izahay, satria efa nilaza fa Andriamanitra no nanangana an’ i Kristy; nefa raha tsy hatsangana ny maty, dia tsy mba natsangany Izy.
Besides, we are found even false witnesses concerning God; because we have witnessed, with respect to God, that he raised Christ; whom he raised not, if, indeed, the dead are not raised.
16 Fa raha tsy hatsangana ny maty, na dia Kristy koa aza dia tsy natsangana;
And if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised,
17 ary raha tsy natsangana Kristy, dia foana ny finoanareo; ary mbola ao amin’ ny fahotanareo ihany ianareo;
Farther, if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins.
18 dia very koa izay efa nodimandry ao amin’ i Kristy.
Certainly, also, they who are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 Raha amin’ izao fiainana izao ihany no anantenantsika an’ i Kristy, dia mahantra indrindra noho ny olona rehetra isika.
If in this life, only, we have hope in Christ, we are, of all men, the most miserable.
20 Nefa tsy izany, fa efa natsangana tamin’ ny maty tokoa Kristy ho santatr’ izay efa nodi-mandry.
But now Christ is raised from the dead, --the first fruit of them who have fallen asleep.
21 Ary satria ny olona iray no nisehoan’ ny fahafatesana, dia ny Olona iray kosa no nisehoan’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty.
For since through a man came death, through a man also comes the resurrection of the dead.
22 Fa tahaka ny ahafatesan’ ny olona rehetra ao amin’ i Adama no ahaveloman’ ny olona rehetra kosa ao amin’ i Kristy.
Therefore, as by Adam all die, so also by Christ all shall be made alive.
23 Nefa samy amin’ ny filaharany avy: Kristy no santatra; rehefa afaka izany, dia izay an’ i Kristy amin’ ny fihaviany.
But every one in his own rank: Christ the first fruit; they that are Christ's, afterward, at his coming.
24 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia avy ny farany, ka amin’ izay dia hatolony ho an’ Andriamanitra Ray ny fanjakana, rehefa nofoanany ny fanapahana rehetra sy ny fahefana rehetra ary ny hery rehetra.
Then comes the end, when he shall resign the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all government, and all authority, and power.
25 Fa tsy maintsy manjaka Izy, mandra-panaony ny fahavalony rehetra ho eo ambanin’ ny tongony.
For he must reign till he has put all the enemies under his feet.
26 Ny fahafatesana no fahavalo farany horesena.
The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed.
27 Fa ny zavatra rehetra efa nampanekeny ho eo ambanin’ ny tongony. Fa na dia hataony hoe aza: Ny zavatra rehetra no nampanekena, dia fantatra marina fa tsy mba isan’ izany Izay nampanaiky ny zavatra rehetra Azy.
For he has subjected all things under his feet. Now when it says that all things are subjected, it is manifest that he is excepted, who has subjected all things to him.
28 Ary rehefa nampanekena Azy ny zavatra rehetra, dia ny tenan’ ny Zanaka koa aza no hanaiky Izay nampanaiky ny zavatra rehetra Azy, mba tsy hisy fototra sy antony afa-tsy Andriamanitra ihany.
Now, when all things are subjected to him, then even the Son himself shall be subjected to him, who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
29 Raha tsy izany, hanao ahoana izay atao batisa ny amin’ ny maty? Raha tsy hatsangana mihitsy ny maty, nahoana ireny no atao batisa ny aminy?
Otherwise, what shall they do, who are immersed for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why then are they immersed for them?
30 Ary nahoana izahay no manao vy very ny ainay mandrakariva?
And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
31 Lazaiko marina, ry rahalahy, amin’ ny fireharehako noho ny aminareo, izay ananako ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika, fa maty isan’ andro aho.
I solemnly declare, by your rejoicing, what I also have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that every day I die.
32 Raha araka ny fanaon’ olona no niadiako tamin’ ny bibi-dia tany Efesosy, inona no soa azoko amin’ izany? Raha tsy hatsangana ny maty, dia aoka isika hihinana sy hisotro, fa rahampitso dia ho faty.
If, after the manner of men, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what is the advantage to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
33 Aza mety hofitahina ianareo; ny fikambanana amin’ ny ratsy manimba ny fitondran-tena tsara.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Mifohaza tsara, ary aza manota; fa ny sasany tsy manana ny fahalalana an’ Andriamanitra; ny hampahamenatra anareo no ilazako izany.
Awake up as you ought, and sin not; for some of you have not the knowledge of God. For shame to you, I say it.
35 Fa hisy hanao hoe: Hatao ahoana ary no fanangana ny maty? Ary tena manao ahoana no hisehoany?
But some one will say, How can the dead be raised up? and with what kind of body do they come?
36 Ry adala, izay afafinao tsy hovelomina, raha tsy maty aloha;
Simpleton! what you sow is not made alive, except it die.
37 ary izay afafinao, tsy dia ny tenany izay ho avy no afafinao, fa ny voa fotsiny ihany, na voambary, na voa hafa;
And as to what you sow, you do not show the body which shall be produced, but the naked grain; it may be of wheat, or of any other kind:
38 fa Andriamanitra manome azy tena araka izay sitraky ny fony, ary ny voany rehetra dia samy omeny ny tenany avy.
but God gives it a body, as it has pleased him; and to each of the seeds, its proper body.
39 Tsy mitovy ny nofo rehetra; fa hafa ny an’ ny olona, ary hafa ny nofon’ ny biby, ary hafa ny nofon’ ny vorona, ary hafa ny an’ ny hazandrano.
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is, indeed, one flesh of men, and another of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of fowls.
40 Ary misy tenan’ ny any an-danitra, ary misy tenan’ ny etỳ an-tany; fa hafa ny voninahitry ny any an-danitra, ary hafa ny an’ ny etỳ an-tany.
And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but different, indeed, is the glory of the celestial, and that of the terrestrial.
41 Hafa ny voninahitry ny masoandro, ary hafa ny voninahitry ny volana, ary hafa ny voninahitry ny kintana; fa ny kintana anankiray dia hafa voninahitra noho ny kintana anankiray.
The glory of the sun is one, and the glory of the moon is another, and the glory of the stars another; moreover, star excels star in glory.
42 Dia toy izany koa ny fitsanganan’ ny maty: Afafy amin’ ny fahalòvana izy, atsangana amin’ ny tsi-fahalòvana;
Just so is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption--it is raised in incorruption:
43 afafy amin’ ny fahafaham-boninahitra izy, atsangana amin’ ny voninahitra; afafy amin’ ny fahalemena izy, atsangana amin’ ny hery;
it is sown in dishonor--it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness--it is raised in power:
44 afafy tena araka ny fomban’ aina izy, atsangana ho tena araka ny fombam-panahy. Raha misy tena araka ny fomban’ aina, dia misy araka ny fombam-panahy koa.
it is sown an animal body--it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 Ary araka izany koa no voasoratra hoe: Adama voalohan-dahy natao manan’ aina; Adama farany natao fanahy mahavelona.
For thus it is written, "The first man, Adam, was made a living soul--the last Adam, a vivifying spirit."
46 Anefa tsy izay amin’ ny fanahy no voalohany, fa izay amin’ ny manan’ aina, dia vao izay amin’ ny fanahy.
However, that was not first, which is spiritual; but that which is animal, and then that which is spiritual.
47 Ny olona voalohany avy amin’ ny tany, dia tany; ny olona faharoa dia avy any an-danitra.
The first man, from the earth, was earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 Izay amin’ ny tany dia tahaka ilay amin’ ny tany; ary izay any an-danitra dia tahaka Ilay any an-danitra.
As was the earthy, so also are the earthy; and as is the heavenly, such also shall be heavenly.
49 Ary toy ny nitondrantsika ny endriky ny amin’ ny tany no hitondrantsika ny endrik’ ilay any an-danitra koa.
For, as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Fa izao no lazaiko, ry rahalahy: Ny nofo aman-drà tsy mahazo mandova ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra, ary ny fahalòvana tsy mandova ny tsi-fahalòvana.
And this I affirm, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God; neither can corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Indro, zava-miafina no ambarako aminareo: tsy hodi-mandry avokoa isika rehetra,
Behold, I tell you a secret: we shall not, indeed, all die; but we shall all be changed;
52 fa vetivety, toy ny indray mipi-maso, rehefa maneno ny trompetra farany, dia hovana isika rehetra; fa hotsofina ny trompetra, ary ny maty hatsangana tsy ho lò intsony, ary isika hovana.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for it shall sound, and then the dead shall be raised incorruptible; and we shall be changed.
53 Fa ity mety lò ity tsy maintsy hitafy ny tsi-fahalòvana, ary ity mety maty ity tsy maintsy hitafy ny tsi-fahafatesana.
For this corruptible body, must put on incorruption; and this mortal body must put on immortality.
54 Fa rehefa mitafy ny tsi-fahalòvana ity mety maty ity, ary mitafy ny tsi-fahafatesana ity mety maty ity, dia ho tanteraka ny teny voasoratra hoe: Ny fahafatesana noresena ka levona.
Now, when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then that saying of scripture shall be accomplished, "Death is swallowed up forever."
Death! where is thy sting? Hades! where is thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Fa ny ota no fanindronan’ ny fahafatesana; ary ny lalàna no herin’ ny ota.
For the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
57 Fa isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Izay manome antsika ny fandresena amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
Now thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Koa amin’ izany, ry rahalahy malalako, dia miorena tsara, aza miova, ary mahefà be mandrakariva amin’ ny asan’ ny Tompo, satria fantatrareo fa tsy foana tsy akory ny fikelezanareo aina ao amin’ ny Tompo.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stable, unmoved; abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
