1 Corinthians 15
1 And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
Ary ampahafantariko anareo, ry rahalahy, ny filazantsara izay notoriko taminareo sy noraisinareo sady iorenanareo,
2 By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
izay amonjena anareo koa, raha tananareo tsara araka izay teny notoriko taminareo, raha tsy nino foana ianareo.
3 For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
Fa natolotro anareo ho isan’ ny zavatra voalohany indrindra ilay noraisiko, dia izao: Kristy maty noho ny fahotantsika araka ny Soratra Masìna,
4 and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
dia nalevina, ary natsangana tamin’ ny andro fahatelo araka ny Soratra Masìna;
5 and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
ary niseho tamin’ i Kefasy Izy, dia vao tamin’ ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy koa.
6 Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
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.
7 Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
Rehefa afaka izany, dia niseho tamin’ i Jakoba Izy, dia tamin’ ny Apostoly rehetra.
8 And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.
Ary faran’ izy rehetra, izaho, izay toy ny tsy tonga volana aza, dia mba nisehoany koa.
9 For I am the least of the Apostles. I am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
Fa izaho dia ambany indrindra amin’ ny Apostoly ka tsy miendrika hatao hoe Apostoly, satria efa nanenjika ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra aho.
10 But, by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace in me has not been empty, since I have labored more abundantly than all of them. Yet it is not I, but the grace of God within me.
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.
11 For whether it is I or they: so we preach, and so you have believed.
Koa na izaho na ry zareo, dia araka izany no fitorinay, ary araka izany koa no ninoanareo.
12 Now if Christ is preached, that he rose again from the dead, how is it that some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Ary raha Kristy no torina fa natsangana tamin’ ny maty, ahoana no ilazan’ ny sasany eo aminareo fa tsy misy fitsanganan’ ny maty?
13 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen.
Fa raha tsy misy fitsanganan’ ny maty, na dia Kristy aza dia tsy natsangana;
14 And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is useless, and your faith is also useless.
ary raha tsy natsangana Kristy, dia foana ny toriteninay, ary foana koa ny finoanareo.
15 Then, too, we would be found to be false witnesses of God, because we would have given testimony against God, saying that he had raised up Christ, when he had not raised him up, if, indeed, the dead do not rise again.
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.
16 For if the dead do not rise again, then neither has Christ risen again.
Fa raha tsy hatsangana ny maty, na dia Kristy koa aza dia tsy natsangana;
17 But if Christ has not risen, then your faith is vain; for you would still be in your sins.
ary raha tsy natsangana Kristy, dia foana ny finoanareo; ary mbola ao amin’ ny fahotanareo ihany ianareo;
18 Then, too, those who have fallen asleep in Christ would have perished.
dia very koa izay efa nodimandry ao amin’ i Kristy.
19 If we have hope in Christ for this life only, then we are more miserable than all men.
Raha amin’ izao fiainana izao ihany no anantenantsika an’ i Kristy, dia mahantra indrindra noho ny olona rehetra isika.
20 But now Christ has risen again from the dead, as the first-fruits of those who sleep.
Nefa tsy izany, fa efa natsangana tamin’ ny maty tokoa Kristy ho santatr’ izay efa nodi-mandry.
21 For certainly, death came through a man. And so, the resurrection of the dead came through a man
Ary satria ny olona iray no nisehoan’ ny fahafatesana, dia ny Olona iray kosa no nisehoan’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty.
22 And just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be brought to life,
Fa tahaka ny ahafatesan’ ny olona rehetra ao amin’ i Adama no ahaveloman’ ny olona rehetra kosa ao amin’ i Kristy.
23 but each one in his proper order: Christ, as the first-fruits, and next, those who are of Christ, who have believed in his advent.
Nefa samy amin’ ny filaharany avy: Kristy no santatra; rehefa afaka izany, dia izay an’ i Kristy amin’ ny fihaviany.
24 Afterwards is the end, when he will have handed over the kingdom to God the Father, when he will have emptied all principality, and authority, and power.
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.
25 For it is necessary for him to reign, until he has set all his enemies under his feet.
Fa tsy maintsy manjaka Izy, mandra-panaony ny fahavalony rehetra ho eo ambanin’ ny tongony.
26 Lastly, the enemy called death shall be destroyed. For he has subjected all things under his feet. And although he says,
Ny fahafatesana no fahavalo farany horesena.
27 “All things have been subjected to him,” without doubt he does not include the One who has subjected all things to him.
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.
28 And when all things will have been subjected to him, then even the Son himself will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to him, so that God may be all in all.
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.
29 Otherwise, what will those who are being baptized for the dead do, if the dead do not rise again at all? Why then are they being baptized for them?
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?
30 Why also do we endure trials every hour?
Ary nahoana izahay no manao vy very ny ainay mandrakariva?
31 Daily I die, by means of your boasting, brothers: you whom I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Lazaiko marina, ry rahalahy, amin’ ny fireharehako noho ny aminareo, izay ananako ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika, fa maty isan’ andro aho.
32 If, according to man, I fought with the beasts at Ephesus, how would that benefit me, if the dead do not rise again? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.”
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.
33 Do not be led astray. Evil communication corrupts good morals.
Aza mety hofitahina ianareo; ny fikambanana amin’ ny ratsy manimba ny fitondran-tena tsara.
34 Be vigilant, you just ones, and do not be willing to sin. For certain persons have an ignorance of God. I say this to you with respect.
Mifohaza tsara, ary aza manota; fa ny sasany tsy manana ny fahalalana an’ Andriamanitra; ny hampahamenatra anareo no ilazako izany.
35 But someone may say, “How do the dead rise again?” or, “What type of body do they return with?”
Fa hisy hanao hoe: Hatao ahoana ary no fanangana ny maty? Ary tena manao ahoana no hisehoany?
36 How foolish! What you sow cannot be brought back to life, unless it first dies.
Ry adala, izay afafinao tsy hovelomina, raha tsy maty aloha;
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be in the future, but a bare grain, such as of wheat, or of some other grain.
ary izay afafinao, tsy dia ny tenany izay ho avy no afafinao, fa ny voa fotsiny ihany, na voambary, na voa hafa;
38 For God gives it a body according to his will, and according to each seed’s proper body.
fa Andriamanitra manome azy tena araka izay sitraky ny fony, ary ny voany rehetra dia samy omeny ny tenany avy.
39 Not all flesh is the same flesh. But one is indeed of men, another truly is of beasts, another is of birds, and another is of fish.
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.
40 Also, there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But while the one, certainly, has the glory of heaven, the other has the glory of earth.
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.
41 One has the brightness of the sun, another the brightness of the moon, and another the brightness of the stars. For even star differs from star in brightness.
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.
42 So it is also with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown in corruption shall rise to incorruption.
Dia toy izany koa ny fitsanganan’ ny maty: Afafy amin’ ny fahalòvana izy, atsangana amin’ ny tsi-fahalòvana;
43 What is sown in dishonor shall rise to glory. What is sown in weakness shall rise to power.
afafy amin’ ny fahafaham-boninahitra izy, atsangana amin’ ny voninahitra; afafy amin’ ny fahalemena izy, atsangana amin’ ny hery;
44 What is sown with an animal body shall rise with a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual one.
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.
45 Just as it was written that the first man, Adam, was made with a living soul, so shall the last Adam be made with a spirit brought back to life.
Ary araka izany koa no voasoratra hoe: Adama voalohan-dahy natao manan’ aina; Adama farany natao fanahy mahavelona.
46 So what is, at first, not spiritual, but animal, next becomes spiritual.
Anefa tsy izay amin’ ny fanahy no voalohany, fa izay amin’ ny manan’ aina, dia vao izay amin’ ny fanahy.
47 The first man, being earthly, was of the earth; the second man, being heavenly, will be of heaven.
Ny olona voalohany avy amin’ ny tany, dia tany; ny olona faharoa dia avy any an-danitra.
48 Such things as are like the earth are earthly; and such things as are like the heavens are heavenly.
Izay amin’ ny tany dia tahaka ilay amin’ ny tany; ary izay any an-danitra dia tahaka Ilay any an-danitra.
49 And so, just as we have carried the image of what is earthly, let us also carry the image of what is heavenly.
Ary toy ny nitondrantsika ny endriky ny amin’ ny tany no hitondrantsika ny endrik’ ilay any an-danitra koa.
50 Now I say this, brothers, because flesh and blood is not able to possess the kingdom of God; neither will what is corrupt possess what is incorrupt.
Fa izao no lazaiko, ry rahalahy: Ny nofo aman-drà tsy mahazo mandova ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra, ary ny fahalòvana tsy mandova ny tsi-fahalòvana.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. Certainly, we shall all rise again, but we shall not all be transformed:
Indro, zava-miafina no ambarako aminareo: tsy hodi-mandry avokoa isika rehetra,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise up, incorruptible. And we shall be transformed.
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.
53 Thus, it is necessary for this corruptibility to be clothed with incorruptibility, and for this mortality to be clothed with immortality.
Fa ity mety lò ity tsy maintsy hitafy ny tsi-fahalòvana, ary ity mety maty ity tsy maintsy hitafy ny tsi-fahafatesana.
54 And when this mortality has been clothed with immortality, then the word that was written shall occur: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
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.
Ry fahafatesana ô, aiza ny fandresenao? Ry fahafatesana ô, aiza ny fanindronanao? (Hadēs g86)
56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Fa ny ota no fanindronan’ ny fahafatesana; ary ny lalàna no herin’ ny ota.
57 But thanks be to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Fa isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Izay manome antsika ny fandresena amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
58 And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not useless in the Lord.
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.
