1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,
he bhrātaraḥ, yaḥ susaṁvādo mayā yuṣmatsamīpe nivedito yūyañca yaṁ gṛhītavanta āśritavantaśca taṁ puna ryuṣmān vijñāpayāmi|
2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso yadi vitatho na bhavet tarhi susaṁvādayuktāni mama vākyāni smaratāṁ yuṣmākaṁ tena susaṁvādena paritrāṇaṁ jāyate|
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
yato'haṁ yad yat jñāpitastadanusārāt yuṣmāsu mukhyāṁ yāṁ śikṣāṁ samārpayaṁ seyaṁ, śāstrānusārāt khrīṣṭo'smākaṁ pāpamocanārthaṁ prāṇān tyaktavān,
4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
śmaśāne sthāpitaśca tṛtīyadine śāstrānusārāt punarutthāpitaḥ|
5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
sa cāgre kaiphai tataḥ paraṁ dvādaśaśiṣyebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān|
6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
tataḥ paraṁ pañcaśatādhikasaṁkhyakebhyo bhrātṛbhyo yugapad darśanaṁ dattavān teṣāṁ kecit mahānidrāṁ gatā bahutarāścādyāpi varttante|
7 then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
tadanantaraṁ yākūbāya tatpaścāt sarvvebhyaḥ preritebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān|
8 and last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also.
sarvvaśeṣe'kālajātatulyo yo'haṁ, so'hamapi tasya darśanaṁ prāptavān|
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
īśvarasya samitiṁ prati daurātmyācaraṇād ahaṁ preritanāma dharttum ayogyastasmāt preritānāṁ madhye kṣudratamaścāsmi|
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
yādṛśo'smi tādṛśa īśvarasyānugraheṇaivāsmi; aparaṁ māṁ prati tasyānugraho niṣphalo nābhavat, anyebhyaḥ sarvvebhyo mayādhikaḥ śramaḥ kṛtaḥ, kintu sa mayā kṛtastannahi matsahakāriṇeśvarasyānugraheṇaiva|
11 Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
ataeva mayā bhavet tai rvā bhavet asmābhistādṛśī vārttā ghoṣyate saiva ca yuṣmābhi rviśvāsena gṛhītā|
12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
mṛtyudaśātaḥ khrīṣṭa utthāpita iti vārttā yadi tamadhi ghoṣyate tarhi mṛtalokānām utthiti rnāstīti vāg yuṣmākaṁ madhye kaiścit kutaḥ kathyate?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
mṛtānām utthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi khrīṣṭo'pi notthāpitaḥ
14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
khrīṣṭaśca yadyanutthāpitaḥ syāt tarhyasmākaṁ ghoṣaṇaṁ vitathaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso'pi vitathaḥ|
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.
vayañceśvarasya mṛṣāsākṣiṇo bhavāmaḥ, yataḥ khrīṣṭa stenotthāpitaḥ iti sākṣyam asmābhirīśvaramadhi dattaṁ kintu mṛtānāmutthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi sa tena notthāpitaḥ|
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:
yato mṛtānāmutthiti ryati na bhavet tarhi khrīṣṭo'pyutthāpitatvaṁ na gataḥ|
17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
khrīṣṭasya yadyanutthāpitaḥ syāt tarhi yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso vitathaḥ, yūyam adyāpi svapāpeṣu magnāstiṣṭhatha|
18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
aparaṁ khrīṣṭāśritā ye mānavā mahānidrāṁ gatāste'pi nāśaṁ gatāḥ|
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
khrīṣṭo yadi kevalamihaloke 'smākaṁ pratyāśābhūmiḥ syāt tarhi sarvvamartyebhyo vayameva durbhāgyāḥ|
20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
idānīṁ khrīṣṭo mṛtyudaśāta utthāpito mahānidrāgatānāṁ madhye prathamaphalasvarūpo jātaśca|
21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
yato yadvat mānuṣadvārā mṛtyuḥ prādurbhūtastadvat mānuṣadvārā mṛtānāṁ punarutthitirapi pradurbhūtā|
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
ādamā yathā sarvve maraṇādhīnā jātāstathā khrīṣṭena sarvve jīvayiṣyante|
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
kintvekaikena janena nije nije paryyāya utthātavyaṁ prathamataḥ prathamajātaphalasvarūpena khrīṣṭena, dvitīyatastasyāgamanasamaye khrīṣṭasya lokaiḥ|
24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
tataḥ param anto bhaviṣyati tadānīṁ sa sarvvaṁ śāsanam adhipatitvaṁ parākramañca luptvā svapitarīśvare rājatvaṁ samarpayiṣyati|
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
yataḥ khrīṣṭasya ripavaḥ sarvve yāvat tena svapādayoradho na nipātayiṣyante tāvat tenaiva rājatvaṁ karttavyaṁ|
26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
tena vijetavyo yaḥ śeṣaripuḥ sa mṛtyureva|
27 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.
likhitamāste sarvvāṇi tasya pādayo rvaśīkṛtāni| kintu sarvvāṇyeva tasya vaśīkṛtānītyukte sati sarvvāṇi yena tasya vaśīkṛtāni sa svayaṁ tasya vaśībhūto na jāta iti vyaktaṁ|
28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.
sarvveṣu tasya vaśībhūteṣu sarvvāṇi yena putrasya vaśīkṛtāni svayaṁ putro'pi tasya vaśībhūto bhaviṣyati tata īśvaraḥ sarvveṣu sarvva eva bhaviṣyati|
29 Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
aparaṁ paretalokānāṁ vinimayena ye majjyante taiḥ kiṁ lapsyate? yeṣāṁ paretalokānām utthitiḥ kenāpi prakāreṇa na bhaviṣyati teṣāṁ vinimayena kuto majjanamapi tairaṅgīkriyate?
30 why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
vayamapi kutaḥ pratidaṇḍaṁ prāṇabhītim aṅgīkurmmahe?
31 I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
asmatprabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭena yuṣmatto mama yā ślāghāste tasyāḥ śapathaṁ kṛtvā kathayāmi dine dine'haṁ mṛtyuṁ gacchāmi|
32 If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
iphiṣanagare vanyapaśubhiḥ sārddhaṁ yadi laukikabhāvāt mayā yuddhaṁ kṛtaṁ tarhi tena mama ko lābhaḥ? mṛtānām utthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi, kurmmo bhojanapāne'dya śvastu mṛtyu rbhaviṣyati|
33 Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
ityanena dharmmāt mā bhraṁśadhvaṁ| kusaṁsargeṇa lokānāṁ sadācāro vinaśyati|
34 Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame.
yūyaṁ yathocitaṁ sacaitanyāstiṣṭhata, pāpaṁ mā kurudhvaṁ, yato yuṣmākaṁ madhya īśvarīyajñānahīnāḥ ke'pi vidyante yuṣmākaṁ trapāyai mayedaṁ gadyate|
35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
aparaṁ mṛtalokāḥ katham utthāsyanti? kīdṛśaṁ vā śarīraṁ labdhvā punareṣyantīti vākyaṁ kaścit prakṣyati|
36 Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
he ajña tvayā yad bījam upyate tad yadi na mriyeta tarhi na jīvayiṣyate|
37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
yayā mūrttyā nirgantavyaṁ sā tvayā nopyate kintu śuṣkaṁ bījameva; tacca godhūmādīnāṁ kimapi bījaṁ bhavituṁ śaknoti|
38 but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
īśvareṇeva yathābhilāṣaṁ tasmai mūrtti rdīyate, ekaikasmai bījāya svā svā mūrttireva dīyate|
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
sarvvāṇi palalāni naikavidhāni santi, manuṣyapaśupakṣimatsyādīnāṁ bhinnarūpāṇi palalāni santi|
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
aparaṁ svargīyā mūrttayaḥ pārthivā mūrttayaśca vidyante kintu svargīyānām ekarūpaṁ tejaḥ pārthivānāñca tadanyarūpaṁ tejo'sti|
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
sūryyasya teja ekavidhaṁ candrasya tejastadanyavidhaṁ tārāṇāñca tejo'nyavidhaṁ, tārāṇāṁ madhye'pi tejasastāratamyaṁ vidyate|
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
tatra likhitamāste yathā, ‘ādipuruṣa ādam jīvatprāṇī babhūva,’ kintvantima ādam (khrīṣṭo) jīvanadāyaka ātmā babhūva|
43 it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
yad upyate tat tucchaṁ yaccotthāsyati tad gauravānvitaṁ; yad upyate tannirbbalaṁ yaccotthāsyati tat śaktiyuktaṁ|
44 it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [body].
yat śarīram upyate tat prāṇānāṁ sadma, yacca śarīram utthāsyati tad ātmanaḥ sadma| prāṇasadmasvarūpaṁ śarīraṁ vidyate, ātmasadmasvarūpamapi śarīraṁ vidyate|
45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
tatra likhitamāste yathā, ādipuruṣa ādam jīvatprāṇī babhūva, kintvantima ādam (khrīṣṭo) jīvanadāyaka ātmā babhūva|
46 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
ātmasadma na prathamaṁ kintu prāṇasadmaiva tatpaścād ātmasadma|
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
ādyaḥ puruṣe mṛda utpannatvāt mṛṇmayo dvitīyaśca puruṣaḥ svargād āgataḥ prabhuḥ|
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
mṛṇmayo yādṛśa āsīt mṛṇmayāḥ sarvve tādṛśā bhavanti svargīyaśca yādṛśo'sti svargīyāḥ sarvve tādṛśā bhavanti|
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
mṛṇmayasya rūpaṁ yadvad asmābhi rdhāritaṁ tadvat svargīyasya rūpamapi dhārayiṣyate|
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
he bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmān prati vyāharāmi, īśvarasya rājye raktamāṁsayoradhikāro bhavituṁ na śaknoti, akṣayatve ca kṣayasyādhikāro na bhaviṣyati|
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
paśyatāhaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ nigūḍhāṁ kathāṁ nivedayāmi|
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
sarvvairasmābhi rmahānidrā na gamiṣyate kintvantimadine tūryyāṁ vāditāyām ekasmin vipale nimiṣaikamadhye sarvvai rūpāntaraṁ gamiṣyate, yatastūrī vādiṣyate, mṛtalokāścākṣayībhūtā utthāsyanti vayañca rūpāntaraṁ gamiṣyāmaḥ|
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
yataḥ kṣayaṇīyenaitena śarīreṇākṣayatvaṁ parihitavyaṁ, maraṇādhīnenaitena dehena cāmaratvaṁ parihitavyaṁ|
54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
etasmin kṣayaṇīye śarīre 'kṣayatvaṁ gate, etasman maraṇādhīne dehe cāmaratvaṁ gate śāstre likhitaṁ vacanamidaṁ setsyati, yathā, jayena grasyate mṛtyuḥ|
mṛtyo te kaṇṭakaṁ kutra paraloka jayaḥ kka te|| (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
mṛtyoḥ kaṇṭakaṁ pāpameva pāpasya ca balaṁ vyavasthā|
57 but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
īśvaraśca dhanyo bhavatu yataḥ so'smākaṁ prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭenāsmān jayayuktān vidhāpayati|
58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
ato he mama priyabhrātaraḥ; yūyaṁ susthirā niścalāśca bhavata prabhoḥ sevāyāṁ yuṣmākaṁ pariśramo niṣphalo na bhaviṣyatīti jñātvā prabhoḥ kāryye sadā tatparā bhavata|
