1 Koriniti 15
1 Na, me whakaatu e ahau ki a koutou, e oku teina, te rongopai i kauwhautia e ahau ki a koutou, ta koutou hoki i whakaae na, ta koutou hoki e tu na,
And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you also received, in which you also have stood,
2 Te mea hoki e ora na koutou; ka whakaatu ahau ki a koutou i nga kupu i kauwhau ai ahau ki a koutou, ki te mau tera i a koutou, ki te mea ehara to koutou i te whakapono noa.
through which you are also being saved, if you hold fast [to] the word—what I proclaimed as good news to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 I hoatu na hoki e ahau ki a koutou i te tuatahi te mea i riro mai i ahau, ara i mate a te Karaiti mo o tatou hara, i pera me ta nga karaipiture;
For I delivered to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Writings,
4 A i tanumia; a i ara ake ano i te toru o nga ra, i pera me ta nga karaipiture;
and that He was buried, and that He has risen on the third day according to the Writings,
5 A ka whakakite ki a Kipa; muri iho ki te tekau ma rua;
and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve,
6 Muri iho ka whakakite ki nga hoa tokomaha ake i te rima rau i te kitenga kotahi, e ora nei ano te nuinga o ratou, ko etahi ia kua moe;
afterward He appeared to above five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, and some also fell asleep;
7 Muri iho ka whakakite ki a Hemi; muri iho ki nga apotoro katoa;
afterward He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
8 A muri rawa iho ka whakakite hoki ia ki ahau, me te mea i whanau tomuri nei ahau.
And last of all—as to the untimely birth—He also appeared to me,
9 Ko te iti rawa hoki ahau o nga apotoro, kahore e tau kia kiia he apotoro, moku i whakatoi i te hahi a te Atua.
for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Assembly of God,
10 Heoi na te aroha noa o te Atua tenei ahua oku: kihai ano tona aroha noa ki ahau i maumauria; heoi nui atu taku mahi i ta ratou katoa: ehara ia i te mea naku, engari na te aroha noa o te Atua i mahi tahi me ahau.
and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] toward me did not come in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] with me;
11 Na, ahakoa naku, ahakoa na ratou, ko ta matou kauwhau tenei, ko ta koutou ano tenei i whakapono ai.
whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
12 Na, e kauwhautia nei a te Karaiti, tona aranga ake i te hunga mate, he pehea te kupu a etahi o koutou, kahore he aranga ake o te hunga mate?
And if Christ is preached, that He has risen out of the dead, how [do] certain among you say that there is no resurrection of [the] dead?
13 Mehemea hoki kahore he aranga o te hunga mate, kihai ano a te Karaiti i ara.
And if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither has Christ risen;
14 Mehemea hoki kahore a te Karaiti i ara, maumau noa ta matou kauwhau, maumau noa to koutou whakapono.
and if Christ has not risen, then our preaching [is] void, and your faith [is] also void,
15 Ae ra, ka kitea hoki matou he kaiwhakaatu teka i ta te Atua; no te mea ka whakaaturia nei e matou te Atua, nana i whakaara ake a te Karaiti; kihai nei i whakaarahia e ia, ki te kahore te hunga mate e ara.
and we are also found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
16 Ki te kahore hoki te hunga mate e whakaarahia, kihai ano a te Karaiti i whakaarahia:
for if dead persons do not rise, neither has Christ risen,
17 A mehema kahore a te Karaiti i ara, he mea hanga noa to koutou whakapono; kei roto tonu koutou i o koutou hara.
and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins;
18 Me te hunga hoki kua moe atu i roto i a te Karaiti, kua ngaro ratou.
then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ perished;
19 Ki te mea hei tenei ao anake he tumanako ma tatou ki a te Karaiti, nui atu te pouri mo tatou i o nga tangata katoa.
if we only have hope in Christ in this life, we are to be most pitied of all men.
20 Ko tenei kua ara a te Karaiti i te hunga mate, kua waiho hei matamua mo te hunga kua moe.
And now, Christ has risen out of the dead—He became the first-fruits of those sleeping,
21 Na te tangata nei hoki te mate, waihoki na te tangata te aranga o te hunga mate.
for since through man [is] death, also through Man [is] a resurrection of the dead,
22 I roto hoki i a Arama ka mate katoa nga tangata, waihoki i roto i a te Karaiti ka whakaorangia katoatia.
for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all will be made alive,
23 Otiia ko tenei, ko tenei, i tona ake turanga; ko te Karaiti te matamua; muri iho ko te hunga a te Karaiti a tona haerenga mai.
and each in his proper order: Christ, a first-fruit, afterward those who are the Christ’s in His coming,
24 Ko reira te mutunga, ina oti te rangatiratanga te hoatu e ia ki te Atua, ara ki te Matua; ina memeha i a ia nga kawanatanga katoa, nga mana katoa, me te kaha.
then—the end, when He may deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He may have made all rule useless, and all authority and power.
25 Kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia kingi ia, kia meinga katoatia ra ano e ia ona hoariri ki raro i ona waewae.
For it is necessary for Him to reign until He may have put all the enemies under His feet.
26 Ko te hoariri whakamutunga e whakakahoretia ko te mate.
The last enemy is done away with—death.
27 No te mea, ka oti nga mea katoa te pehi e ia ki raro i ona waewae. Otira i tana kianga, Ka oti nga mea katoa te pehi ki raro i a ia; e marama ana kua waiho i waho te kaipehi o nga mea katoa ki raro i a ia.
For He put all things under His feet, and when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who subjected all things to Him,
28 A ka oti nga mea katoa te pehi e ia ki raro i a ia, ko reira hoki te Tama riro ai ki raro i te kaipehi o nga mea katoa ki raro i a ia, kia katoa ai te Atua i roto i te katoa.
and when all things may be subjected to Him, then also the Son Himself will be subject to Him, who subjected to Him all things, that God may be the all in all.
29 Penei ka aha te hunga e iriiria ana hei whakakapi mo te hunga mate? Ki te kahore rawa te hunga mate e ara, he aha hoki ratou ka iriiria ai hei whakakapi mo te hunga mate?
Seeing what will they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they also immersed for the dead?
30 He aha ano tatou ka tu wehi ai i nga wa katoa?
Why do we also stand in peril every hour?
31 Na koa taku oati, na toku whakamanamana ki a koutou, e oku teina, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ina mo te mate ahau i ia ra, i ia ra.
I die every day, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Ha, mehemea ahau i whawhai ki te kararehe i Epeha, pera ana me te tangata, he aha te pai ki ahau? Ki te kahore te hunga mate e ara, e kai tatou, e inu, ko apopo hoki tatou mate ai.
If I fought with wild beasts in Ephesus after the manner of a man, what [is] the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!
33 Kei whakapohehetia koutou: Ki te kino nga hoa, ka heke ki te kino nga tikanga pai.
Do not be led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
34 Oho ake ki te tika, a kaua e hara; kahore hoki o etahi matauranga ki te Atua: i korero ai ahau kia whakama ai koutou.
wake up, as is right, and do not sin; for some have an ignorance of God; I say [it] to you for shame.
35 Otira tera tetahi e ki mai, peheatia ai te whakaarahanga o te hunga mate? he tinana aha hoki to ratou ina haere mai?
But someone will say, “How do the dead rise?”
36 Kuware! ko tau e whakato na, e kore e puta ki te ora, ki te kahore e mate:
Unwise! You—what you sow is not quickened except it may die;
37 A ko tau e whakato na, ehara i te tinana e puta ake a mua tau e whakato na, engari he kakano kau no te witi ranei, no tetahi atu mea ranei:
and that which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of someone of the others,
38 E hoatu ana hoki e te Atua ki taua kakano he tinana, ko tana i pai ai, a ki tenei kakano, ki tenei kakano, tona ake tinana.
and God gives a body to it according as He willed, and its proper body to each of the seeds.
39 Ehara i te kikokiko kotahi nga kikokiko katoa: engari tera ano to te tangata kikokiko, a rere ke ano to te kararehe kikokiko, rere ke to te manu, rere ke to te ika.
All flesh [is] not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds;
40 Ko etahi tinana no te rangi, ko etahi tinana no te whenua: otiia rere ke te kororia o nga mea o te rangi, rere ke to nga mea o te whenua.
and [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;
41 He kororia ke to te ra, he kororia ke to te marama, he kororia ke hoki to nga whetu: na poka ke te kororia o tetahi whetu i to tetahi whetu.
one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star differs from star in glory.
42 He pera ano te aranga o te hunga mate. E whakatokia pirautia ana; e whakaarahia piraukoretia ana:
So also [is] the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
43 E whakatokia honorekoretia ana; e whakaarahia kororiatia ana: e whakatokia ngoikoretia ana; e whakaarahia kahatia ana:
it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44 E whakatokia ana he tinana maori; e whakaarahia ana he tinana wairua. Mehemea tera he tinana maori, tera ano hoki he tinana wairua.
it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;
45 He penei hoki te mea i tuhituhia, Ko te tangata tuatahi, ko Arama, i meinga hei tangata ora; ko te Arama whakamutunga ka waiho hei wairua whakaora.
so also it has been written: “The first man Adam became a living creature,” the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,
46 He ahakoa ra ehara te mea wairua i te tuatahi, engari te mea maori; no muri te mea wairua.
but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterward that which [is] spiritual.
47 Ko te tangata tuatahi no te whenua, he mea oneone: ko te tangata tuarua no te rangi.
The first man [is] out of the earth—earthly; the second Man [is] the LORD out of Heaven;
48 Ko nga mea oneone rite tonu ki te mea oneone; ko nga mea o te rangi rite tonu ki te mea o te rangi.
as [is] the earthly, such [are] also the earthly; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;
49 Na, kua mau nei ki a tatou te ahua o te mea oneone, waihoki ka mau ano ki a tatou te ahua o to te rangi.
and according as we bore the image of the earthly, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Ko taku korero tenei, e oku teina, e kore e tau kia riro te rangatiratanga o te Atua i te kikokiko, i te toto; e kore ano te piraukore e riro i te pirau.
And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the corruption inherit the incorruption.
51 Na, he mea huna tenei ka korerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou. E kore tatou katoa e moe, engari e whakaahuatia ketia tatou katoa;
Behold, I tell you a secret: we indeed will not all sleep, but we will all be changed;
52 E kore e aha, kimo kau te kanohi, i te tetere whakamutunga: e tangi hoki te tetere whakamutunga: e tangi hoki te tetere, a e whakaarahia nga tupapaku, he mea piraukore, a ka whakaahuatia ketia tatou.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed;
53 Kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia kakahuria te piraukore e tenei pirau, kia kakahuria hoki te matekore e tenei hanga matemate nei.
for it is necessary for this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;
54 Heoi ka oti tenei pirau te whakakakahu ki te piraukore, me tenei hanga matemate nei te whakakakahu ki te matekore, ko reira rite ai te korero i tuhituhia, horomia ake te mate e te wikitoria.
and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the word that has been written: “Death was swallowed up—to victory;
Where, O Death, your sting? Where, O Death [[or Hades]], your victory?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Ko te hara to te mate wero; na te ture hoki i kaha ai te hara:
And the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the Law;
57 Ki te Atua ia te whakawhetai, nana nei i homai te wikitoria ki a tatou, he meatanga na to tatou Ariki, na Ihu Karaiti.
and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
58 Heoi, e oku teina aroha, kia u, kei taea te whakakorikori, kia hira te mahi ki te Ariki i nga wa katoa, e matau ana hoki koutou, ehara i te maumau to koutou mauiui i roto i te Ariki.
so that, my beloved brothers, become steadfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the LORD at all times, knowing that your labor in the LORD is not vain.
