1 Khawrin 15
1 Tahae ah Manuca rhoek, nangmih ham olthangthen ka thui te nangmih ham ka phoe coeng. Tekah te na doe uh bal coeng. Tekah olthangthen dongah na pangtung uh bal.
And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood,
2 Te lamlong ni na daem uh van. Nangmih taengkah ka phong olka te na tuuk uh atah a hoeihae la na tangnah uh aih bal mahpawh.
through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,
3 A tanglue khuikah ka doe van te nangmih kan doe. Khrih tah cacim dongkah bangla mamih kah tholh kongah a duek te.
for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,
4 Te phoeiah a up tih cacim vanbangla a thum hnin ah thoo.
and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings,
5 Te phoeiah Kephas, phoeiah hlainit loh a hmuh.
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,
6 Te phoeiah manuca yanga hlai loh tun a hmuh. Amih khuikah a yet ngai tah tahae due om uh pueng dae hlangvang tah ip uh coeng.
afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep;
7 Te phoeiah James loh a hmuh. Te phoeiah caeltueih boeih loh a hmuhuh.
afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
8 A hnukkhueng ah a halhthaih banghui la kai long khaw ka hmuh.
And last of all — as to the untimely birth — he appeared also to me,
9 Kai tah caeltueih khuikah thaihnoi lamni ka om. Pathen kah hlangboel te ka hnaemtaek dongah, “Anih tah caeltueih ni,” tila duelh n'khue ham a om moenih.
for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,
10 Tedae Pathen kah lungvatnah rhangneh ka om bangla ka om. Amah kah lungvatnah tah kai ham a tlongtlai la om pawh. Amih boeih lakah muep ka thakthae cakhaw kamah ah pawt tih kai taengkah aka om Pathen kah lungvatnah long m'patang sak.
and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] with me;
11 Te dongah kai long khaw amih long khaw ka hoe uh van tih na tangnah uh van.
whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe.
12 Te dongah Khrih tah duek lamkah thoo coeng tila ka hoe atah nangmih khuikah agnen loh balae tih, “Hlang duek thohkoepnah om pawh,” na ti uh.
And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?
13 Hlang duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah khaw om pawt koinih Khrih khaw thoo mahpawh.
and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen;
14 Te phoeiah Khrih thoo pawt koinih kaimih kah olhoe khaw a tlongtlai la om vetih nangmih kah tangnah te khaw a tlongtlai la om ni.
and if Christ hath not risen, then void [is] our preaching, and void also your faith,
15 Te phoeiah laithae laidang he khaw Pathen kah bangla m'hmuh uh. Khrih a thoh coeng te Pathen taengkah la m'phong uh. Amah te thoh pawt koinih aka duek rhoek khaw thoo uh van mahpawh.
and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
16 Te dongah aka duek rhoek loh thoo uh pawt koinih Khrih khaw thoo mahpawh.
for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen,
17 Khrih khaw thoo pawt koinih nangmih kah tangnah te a honghi la om tih namamih kah tholh khuiah ni na om uh pueng.
and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;
18 Te koinih Khrih ah aka ip rhoek khaw poci ni.
then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish;
19 Khrih ah n'ngaiuep uh te tahae kah hingnah bueng ham n'khueh uh koinih hlang boeih lakah lungmasingta la n'om uh coeng.
if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we are most to be pitied.
20 Tedae Khrih tah duek lamloh aka ip rhoek kah thaihcuek la thoo coeng.
And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead — the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,
21 Hlang pakhat lamloh dueknah ha pawk vanbangla hlang pakhat lamloh aka duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah khaw ha thoeng van.
for since through man [is] the death, also through man [is] a rising again of the dead,
22 Adam ah boeih a duek uh vanbangla Khrih ah khaw boeih hing uh van ni.
for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,
23 Tedae pakhat rhip loh amah kah aitlaeng neh om tih Khrih tah thaihcuek la om. Te phoeiah Khrih kah rhoek tah Khrih amah kah a lonah dongah thoo uh ni.
and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,
24 Te phoeikah pa Pathen taengah ram a tloeng vaengah, boeilu boeih, saithainah neh thaomnah boeih a phae vaengah diklai tue bawtnah te om ni.
then — the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power —
25 Rhal boeih te a kho hmuiah a khueh duela manghai la a om a kuek.
for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet —
26 Rhal hnukkhueng dueknah te a thup coeng.
the last enemy is done away — death;
27 A cungkuem te a kho hmuiah boe a ngai sak coeng. Tedae a cungkuem te boe a ngai coeng tila a thui vaengah a taengla boeih boe aka ngai sak kah a hoep te mingpha coeng.
for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,
28 Tedae anih taengah cungkuem loh a boe a ngai sak vaengah a taengkah boengai boeih te capa amah taengah khaw boe a ngai van ni. Te daengah ni Pathen tah cungkuem dongah cungkuem la a om pai eh.
and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.
29 Te koinih aka duek rhoek yueng la tui aka nuem rhoek loh balae a saii uh eh. Aka duek rhoek te thoo loengloeng pawt koinih balae tih amih yueng la toektoek a nuem uh.
Seeing what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why also are they baptized for the dead?
30 Kaimih khaw balae hnin takuem kho ka po uh.
why also do we stand in peril every hour?
31 Manuca rhoek, hnin takuem ah ka duek te nangmih taengah hoemdamnah la ka phoei. Te te mamih kah Khrih Jesuh Boeipa dongah ni ka dang.
Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord:
32 Hlang vanbangla Ephisa ah ka puet koinih kai ham hoeikhang aya te? Hlang duek rhoek loh a thoh uh pawt atah thangvuen ah n'duek uh ham coeng dongah ca uh sih lamtah o uh sih saw.
if after the manner of a man with wild beasts I fought in Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die!
33 Nangmih n'rhaithi uh boel saeh. Khoboe kodam he hui thae loh a poeih.
Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
34 A tiktam la sap uh lamtah tholh uh boeh. Hlangvang tah Pathen taengah malkoelh-maldang la na om uh. Nangmih yahpoh sak ham hekah he ka thui coeng.
awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say [it].
35 Tedae khat khat loh, “Aka duek te koe thoo a? Mebang pum nen lae ha pawk uh eh?” a ti uh ni.
But some one will say, 'How do the dead rise?
36 Hlang ang, nang loh na tuh te duek pawt koinih hing mahpawh.
unwise! thou — what thou dost sow is not quickened except it may die;
37 Na tuh te khaw aka lo ham koi pum moenih. Tedae cang ti mai khaw a tloe khat khat kak ni na tuh.
and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some one of the others,
38 Tedae Pathen loh a ngaih bangla amih taengah a pum te a paek. Cangti te khaw a pum rhip a paek.
and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper body.
39 Pumsa boeih khaw amah pumsa moenih. Hlang kah pumsa khaw a tloe, boiva kah pumsa khaw a tloe, vaa kah pumsa khaw a tloe, nga kah pumsa khaw a tloe ni.
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 Vaan pum khaw om. Diklai pum khaw om. Tedae vaan kah thangpomnah tah a hloeh, diklai kah khaw a hloeh ni.
and [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;
41 Khomik kah thangpomnah khaw a tloe, hla kah thangpomnah khaw a tloe, aisi kah thangpomnah khaw a tloe ni. Thangpomnah dongah aisi neh aisi khaw lang.
one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star from star doth differ in glory.
42 Te vanbangla hlang duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah tah lang van tangloeng. Hmawnnah dongah a tuh tih aka nguel dongah a thoh sak.
So also [is] the rising again of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
43 Yahpohnah dongah a tuh te thangpomnah dongah a thoh sak. Vawtthoeknah dongah a tuh te thaomnah dongah a thoh sak.
it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44 A coengnah pum la a tuh te mueihla pum la a thoh sak. A coengnah pum te a om atah mueihla pum khaw om.
it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;
45 Adam tah hlang lamhma la ana om tih hinglu la ana hing. Adam hnukkhueng tah aka hing sak mueihla ni tila a daek tangloeng bal ta.
so also it hath been written, 'The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,
46 Tedae Mueihla pum te lamhma pawt tih pumsa phoeiah ni mueihla a om.
but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterwards that which [is] spiritual.
47 Hlang lamhma tah diklai laidik lamkah tih hlang pabae tah vaan lamkah ni.
The first man [is] out of the earth, earthy; the second man [is] the Lord out of heaven;
48 Laidik tah laidik bangla om van tangloeng. Vaan tah vaan bangla om van tangloeng.
as [is] the earthy, such [are] also the earthy; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;
49 Laidik kah mueimae m'buen uh bangla vaan kah mueimae khaw m'buen uh ni.
and, according as we did bear the image of the earthy, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly.
50 Te dongah Manuca rhoek, “Pumsa loh thii loh Pathen kah ram pang thai pawh. Hmawnnah loh aka nguel te pang pawh,” tila ka thui coeng he.
And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption;
51 Nangmih taengah olhuep ni ka thui coeng he. Hlang boeih loh n'ip uh mahpawh. Tedae hlang boeih loh thovael uh ni.
lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed;
52 Setrhuet kah, mik hap tok ah, olueng hnukkhueng vaengah thovael uh ni. Olueng a ueng vaengah aka duek rhoek te aka kuei la thoo uh vetih mamih khaw n'thovael uh ni.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we — we shall be changed:
53 Aka hmawn loh aka nguel te bai ham, aka duek thai long he aka nguel bai ham a kuek.
for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;
54 Tedae hekah aka hmawn loh aka nguel te a bai tih aka duek loh aka nguel te a bai vaengah, “Dueknah tah voelpoengnah neh a dolh coeng,” tila a daek olka te soep van ni.
and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, 'The Death was swallowed up — to victory;
55 Aw dueknah, nang kah voelpoengnah te melam nim? Aw dueknah nang kah suehling te melam nim. (Hadēs g86)
where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?' (Hadēs g86)
56 Te dongah dueknah suehling tah tholhnah ni. Tholhnah kah thaomnah tah olkhueng ni.
and the sting of the death [is] the sin, and the power of the sin the law;
57 Tedae mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamloh voelpoengnah mamih aka pae Pathen te ka lungvatnah.
and to God — thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
58 Te dongah ka manuca thintlo rhoek tah cakrhuet la khak om uh. Boeipa kah bibi dongah baecoih yoeyah uh. Na thakthaenah tah Boeipa dongah a tlongtlai a om moenih tila ming uh.
so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.
