1-е Коринфянам 15
1 Напоминаю вам, братия, Евангелие, которое я благовествовал вам, которое вы и приняли, в котором и утвердились,
Now, my fellow believers, I want to remind you about the message about Christ that I preached to you. It is the message that you received and that you have continued to trust firmly.
2 которым и спасаетесь, если преподанное удерживаете так, как я благовествовал вам, если только не тщетно уверовали.
If you keep on firmly [believing] this message that I preached to you, you will be saved {[God] will save you}. If you do not continue to believe it, your believing [in Christ] was (all for nothing/useless)!
3 Ибо я первоначально преподал вам, что и сам принял, то есть что Христос умер за грехи наши, по Писанию,
The most important part of the message that I received [from the Lord Jesus], and that I told you, was this: Christ died to [take away the guilt] of our sins, as the Scriptures [said that he would do].
4 и что Он погребен был, и что воскрес в третий день, по Писанию,
His [dead body] was buried {They buried his [body]}. On the third day [after that], [God] caused him to become alive again, as the Scriptures [said would happen].
5 и что явился Кифе, потом двенадцати;
After that, [Christ] was seen by {appeared to} Peter. Then he appeared to [eleven of] the [original] twelve [apostles].
6 потом явился более нежели пятистам братиям в одно время, из которых большая часть доныне в живых, а некоторые и почили;
Later he was seen by {appeared to} more than 500 of our fellow believers. Most of those are still living, but some of them have died [EUP].
7 потом явился Иакову, также всем Апостолам;
Then he was seen by {appeared [to]} [his younger brother] James, [who became the leader of the congregation in Jerusalem]. Then he appeared to all of the apostles.
8 а после всех явился и мне, как некоему извергу.
Finally, he was seen by {appeared to} me, but I became an apostle in a way that was very unusual [MET].
9 Ибо я наименьший из Апостолов и недостоин называться Апостолом, потому что гнал церковь Божию.
The fact is, I [consider that I] am the least important of the apostles. I do not deserve to be an apostle, because I (persecuted God’s groups of believers/caused God’s groups of believers to suffer) [everywhere I went].
10 Но благодатию Божиею есмь то, что есмь; и благодать Его во мне не была тщетна, но я более всех их потрудился: не я, впрочем, а благодать Божия, которая со мною.
But it is because God acted kindly toward me in ways that I did not deserve that I became what I am now. And his acting kindly toward me produced a great result [LIT], which is that I worked harder [for Christ] than all the other apostles. But it was not that I [was working with my own ability]. Instead, God was helping me in a way I did not deserve.
11 Итак я ли, они ли, мы так проповедуем, и вы так уверовали.
So it does not matter whether it was I [who was preaching or whether it was the other apostles who were preaching]. We all preached [the same message], and that message is what you believed.
12 Если же о Христе проповедуется, что Он воскрес из мертвых, то как некоторые из вас говорят, что нет воскресения мертвых?
So now [let me ask you this]: Since [we] have all preached to you that Christ was raised again {that [God] caused Christ to become alive} after he died, (no one among you should be saying that [God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again after they die!/why do some of you say that [God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again after they die?) [RHQ]
13 Если нет воскресения мертвых, то и Христос не воскрес;
If [it is true that God] will not cause anyone to become alive again, that situation would mean that Christ was not raised from the dead {[he] did not cause Christ to become alive again}!
14 а если Христос не воскрес, то и проповедь наша тщетна, тщетна и вера ваша.
And if Christ was not raised from the dead {if [God] did not cause Christ to become alive again}, then what we preached to you was useless, and your believing [in Christ] is useless.
15 Притом мы оказались бы и лжесвидетелями о Боге, потому что свидетельствовали бы о Боге, что Он воскресил Христа, Которого Он не воскрешал, если, то есть, мертвые не воскресают
[If it is true that] no one will be raised from the dead {[that God] will not cause anyone to become alive again after he dies}, we [(exc)] have been guilty of lying to you about God, because we told you that God caused Christ to become alive again.
16 ибо если мертвые не воскресают, то и Христос не воскрес.
But if it were really true that no one who has died will be raised {that [God will] not cause anyone who has died to become alive} again, then Christ was not raised {[he] did not cause Christ to become alive} again either!
17 А если Христос не воскрес, то вера ваша тщетна: вы еще во грехах ваших.
If it were true that Christ was not raised {that [God] did not cause Christ to become alive} again after he died, you have believed in Christ for nothing, [because] God will still [punish] you for [MTY] your sins.
18 Поэтому и умершие во Христе погибли.
And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. (questioned)
19 И если мы в этой только жизни надеемся на Христа, то мы несчастнее всех человеков.
In this life [many of us have suffered much for Christ] because we confidently expect [that he will reward us in heaven]. If we have confidently expected this in vain, people should pity us more than they pity anyone else!
20 Но Христос воскрес из мертвых, первенец из умерших.
But [the truth is that] Christ has been raised from the dead {that [God] has caused Christ to live again after he had died}, and (that guarantees/because of that, it is certain) [MET] that he will also cause those [believers] who have died [EUP] to become alive again.
21 Ибо как смерть через человека, так через человека и воскресение мертвых.
What one man, [Adam, did affects us all]. We all die. Similarly, what one man—[Christ]—did [affects us(inc) all]: God will cause [all believers] to become alive again.
22 Как в Адаме все умирают, так во Христе все оживут,
Because of what Adam did, all [of us who are descended] from him die. Similarly, because of what [Christ did], all of us who have a close relationship with him will be brought back to life {[God] will make alive all of us who have a close relationship with Christ}.
23 каждый в своем порядке: первенец Христос, потом Христовы, в пришествие Его.
But we must all take our turn. [God raised] Christ first [MET]. And when Christ returns, [God will cause] those who belong to Christ to become alive again.
24 А затем конец, когда Он предаст Царство Богу и Отцу, когда упразднит всякое начальство и всякую власть и силу.
Then, after Christ has destroyed all [DOU] the evil powers that oppose God, [the world] will end. Then Christ will give to God, his Father, his kingdom to completely rule over it.
25 Ибо Ему надлежит царствовать, доколе низложит всех врагов под ноги Свои.
You must realize that Christ must rule [here on earth] until he has completely defeated [MTY] all his enemies.
26 Последний же враг истребится - смерть,
The last thing that [he] will get rid of is death. [But he certainly will get rid of death, which is like] an enemy [to us].
27 потому что все покорил под ноги Его. Когда же сказано, что Ему все покорено, то ясно, что кроме Того, Который покорил Ему все.
[In the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] God will cause everything to be under Christ’s [authority] [MTY]. But it is clear that the word ‘everything’ here does not include God, because God is the one who will cause everything to be under Christ’s [authority] [MTY].
28 Когда же все покорит Ему, тогда и Сам Сын покорится Покорившему все Ему, да будет Бог все во всем.
After everything is put under [the authority of] God’s Son, then Christ will put himself completely under [the authority of] God, the one who gave him that authority. Then God will be completely in control of everything [IDM], everywhere.
29 Иначе что делают крестящиеся для мертвых? Если мертвые совсем не воскресают, то для чего и крестятся для мертвых?
[Now think about this: Some among you] are being baptized (OR, are baptizing people) on behalf of those who died [before someone baptized them] (OR, who died [before they became believers]). If, [as some people say, believers] will not be raised [from the dead] {[God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again}, (what is the value in those people doing that?/there is no value in those people doing that!) [RHQ] If [God] will not cause any [believers] to become alive again, it is senseless to be baptized {baptize anyone} on behalf of someone who has died. [RHQ]
30 Для чего и мы ежечасно подвергаемся бедствиям?
Furthermore, [if God will not cause us believers to become alive again], it is [RHQ] very foolish for me and the other apostles to be constantly [putting ourselves] in danger [because we tell people the gospel].
31 Я каждый день умираю: свидетельствуюсь в том похвалою вашею, братия, которую я имею во Христе Иисусе, Господе нашем.
My fellow believers, every day I [am in danger of] being killed {people killing me}! That is as true as it is that I am pleased with you because of your close relationship with Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 По рассуждению человеческому, когда я боролся со зверями в Ефесе, какая мне польза, если мертвые не воскресают? Станем есть и пить, ибо завтра умрем!
[If God will not cause us believers to become alive again after we die], (I will receive no benefit at all [from having opposed those who attacked me so strongly] in Ephesus [city]./what will I gain [from having opposed those who attacked me so strongly] in Ephesus [city]?) [RHQ] They were [fighting me like] wild beasts! If we [believers] will not be raised [from the dead] {If [God] will not cause us [believers] to live again}, we might as well say [as people often say]: “Tomorrow we are going to die, so we might as well enjoy now everything that we can. We might as well feast and get drunk!”
33 Не обманывайтесь: худые сообщества развращают добрые нравы.
Do not let [yourselves be deceived by those who say that God will not cause believers to live again] {Do not let [people who say that God will not cause believers to live again] deceive you}. If you associate with evil people [who say such things], they will (influence you to do evil things/destroy your good moral way of living).
34 Отрезвитесь, как должно, и не грешите; ибо, к стыду вашему скажу, некоторые из вас не знают Бога.
Start thinking correctly again [about these matters], as you should, and [stop your sinful behavior which has resulted from] your wrong thinking. [I say that] because [it seems that] some among you do not know God, and as a result they [are thinking wrongly]. I say that to make you ashamed.
35 Но скажет кто-нибудь: как воскреснут мертвые? И в каком теле придут?
But some of you are asking, “How will dead people be raised {How will [God] cause dead people to become alive} again? What kind of bodies will they have?”
36 Безрассудный! То, что ты сеешь, не оживет, если не умрет.
[Anyone who asks such questions is] foolish. You [know that] a seed that is planted in the ground must completely change its form [MET] before it sprouts.
37 И когда ты сеешь, то сеешь не тело будущее, а голое зерно, какое случится, пшеничное или другое какое;
A seed, such as a wheat seed, is very different from the plant that sprouts from it.
38 но Бог дает ему тело, как хочет, и каждому семени свое тело.
God gives everything that lives the form that he desires. He gives each seed its own form.
39 Не всякая плоть такая же плоть; но иная плоть у человеков, иная плоть у скотов, иная у рыб, иная у птиц.
[Similarly], people, animals, birds, and fish all have flesh, but each one has a different kind of flesh.
40 Есть тела небесные и тела земные; но иная слава небесных, иная земных.
Also, there are angelic beings in heaven (OR, stars and planets in the sky), and there are people with bodies on the earth. The angelic beings (OR, stars and planets) are beautiful in one way, and people on earth are beautiful in a different way.
41 Иная слава солнца, иная слава луны, иная звезд; и звезда от звезды разнится в славе.
The sun is bright in one way, and the moon is bright in a different way, and the stars are bright in a different way. And even the various stars are different from each other in how bright they are.
42 Так и при воскресении мертвых: сеется в тлении, восстает в нетлении;
And it is the same way [with our bodies. The bodies that we will have when God causes us] to live again after we die [will not be the same as the bodies that we have now] [MET]. [The bodies that we have now] will die and decay. [The new bodies that we will have] will never die.
43 сеется в уничижении, восстает в славе; сеется в немощи, восстает в силе;
We despise [the bodies that we have now], before we die. But our [new bodies] will be glorious. The [bodies that we have before we die] are weak. But our new bodies will be strong.
44 сеется тело душевное, восстает тело духовное. Есть тело душевное, есть тело и духовное.
The bodies that we have before we die are natural bodies. But [our new bodies] will be ones that [God’s] Spirit ([controls/gives us]). Just like there are natural bodies, there are bodies that [God’s] Spirit [completely] controls (OR, makes alive).
45 Так и написано: первый человек Адам стал душею живущею; а последний Адам есть дух животворящий.
[In the Scriptures] it is written {we read} that [when] the first man, Adam, [was created], he became a living human being. [Christ later also became a human being]. But [he is different from Adam, because he] became a person who gives us [spiritual] life.
46 Но не духовное прежде, а душевное, потом духовное.
But our bodies that God’s Spirit (will completely control/will give us) are not the first bodies that we have. We have our natural bodies first.
47 Первый человек - из земли, перстный; второй человек - Господь с неба.
The first man, [Adam], was created {[God] created the first man, Adam} from the dust of the earth. But [Christ], the one who came later, came from heaven.
48 Каков перстный, таковы и перстные; и каков небесный, таковы и небесные.
Everyone on earth [has a body] like the first man on the earth had. And in heaven, [everyone will have a body like Christ], the man who came from heaven, has.
49 И как мы носили образ перстного, будем носить и образ небесного.
And just like [God] gave us bodies like the first man on earth had, so we [believers will have bodies] like [Christ] has, who is now in heaven.
50 Но то скажу вам, братия, что плоть и кровь не могут наследовать Царствия Божия, и тление не наследует нетления.
My fellow believers, I want you to know that we [(inc)] [SYN] cannot go [to heaven, where] God rules [over everything], with our physical bodies, because our bodies [cannot last forever]. They will die and decay.
51 Говорю вам тайну: не все мы умрем, но все изменимся
But I will tell you something that [God] has not revealed [before]: [Some of] us [believers] will not die [EUP]. However, all of us will be changed {[God] will change all of us}.
52 вдруг, во мгновение ока, при последней трубе; ибо вострубит, и мертвые воскреснут нетленными, а мы изменимся.
[It will happen] suddenly, as [fast as someone can] blink his eye [MET], when [we hear the sound of God’s] trumpet for the last time. When we hear that trumpet, all [the believers] who have died will come back to life and will have bodies that are changed {that [God] has changed}, bodies that will never decay.
53 Ибо тленному сему надлежит облечься в нетление, и смертному сему облечься в бессмертие.
And the [bodies of us who are alive at that time] will [also] be changed {And [God] will [also] change the [bodies of us who are alive at that time]}. These bodies of ours that die and decay must be transformed into [new bodies that] will never die; [it will be like someone] [MET] getting rid of [his old clothes] and putting on [new ones].
54 Когда же тленное сие облечется в нетление и смертное сие облечется в бессмертие, тогда сбудется слово написанное: поглощена смерть победою
When that happens, what is written {what ([a prophet/Isaiah]) wrote} [in the Scriptures] will come true/happen: [God] will completely get rid of [MET] death. Our dying will no longer have any power to defeat us;
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs g86)
56 Жало же смерти - грех; а сила греха закон.
It is because we sin [MET] [that we die, and it is because we] have God’s laws that we [know that we] have sinned.
57 Благодарение Богу, даровавшему нам победу Господом нашим Иисусом Христом!
But because of what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done], he enables us to be free [from having to obey God’s laws to be saved and to be free of being afraid to die]. We should thank God for that!
58 Итак, братия мои возлюбленные, будьте тверды, непоколебимы, всегда преуспевайте в деле Господнем, зная, что труд ваш не тщетен пред Господом.
So, my fellow believers whom I love, continue to hold strongly to [the things that you believe]. Do not let anything cause you to doubt them. Always be doing enthusiastically the work that the Lord [gives you]. And remember that the work that you do for the Lord is never (in vain/useless), [as it would be if God will not cause us to live again after we die].
