1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I want to remind you about the good news I announced to you. You accepted it, and you have stood firm for it.
Nawkamyanawk, kahoih tamthanglok to nangcae khaeah ka taphong, ka thuih ih kahoih tamthanglok to na talawk o moe, nang doet o haih boeh;
2 It is through this good news that you are saved if you hold on to the message that I gave you. Otherwise you trusted for nothing!
kang thuih o ih kahoih to tamthanglok to kacakah na tapom o nahaeloe, to kahoih tamthanglok hoiah ni pahlong ah na oh o, to tih ai nahaeloe na tang o haih to azom pui ah ni om tih.
3 I passed on to you what I myself had also received, a message of vital importance: that Christ died for our sins, according to Scripture;
Ka talawk ih kahoih tamthanglok to kang thuih o hmaloe; Cabunawk mah thuih ih baktih toengah, Kri loe aicae zaehaih pongah duek;
4 he was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, again in accordance with Scripture.
Anih loe aphum ah oh moe, Cabunawk mah thuih ih baktih toengah Anih loe ni thumto naah angthawk let:
5 He appeared to Peter, then to the Twelve.
Anih to Kipha mah hnuk, to pacoengah kami hatlai hnetto mah doeh hnuk o:
6 After that he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still alive today, though some have died.
to pacoengah anih to cumvai pangato pong kapop nawkamyanawk mah nawnto hnuk o; nihcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk loe vaihi khoek to hing o vop, toe thoemto kaminawk loe duek o boeh.
7 He appeared to James, then all the apostles.
To pacoengah Jakob mah Anih to hnuk, to pacoengah patoeh ih kaminawk boih mah hnuk o.
8 Last of all, he also appeared to me, someone born as it were at the wrong time.
Hnukkhuem koekah loe atue pha ai naah tapen baktiah kaom, kai mah doeh Anih to ka hnuk.
9 For I'm the least important apostle of all, not even fit to be called an apostle since I persecuted God's church.
Kai loe patoeh ih kaminawk thungah kathoeng koekah ka oh, Sithaw kricaabu ka pacaekthlaek pongah, kai loe patoeh ih kami, tiah kawk han doeh kam cuk ai.
10 But by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace given to me wasn't wasted. On the contrary I've worked harder than all of them—though not me, but God's grace working through me.
Toe Sithaw tahmenhaih rang hoiah vaihi ka oh baktih toengah ka oh thaih: ka nuiah ang paek ih tahmenhaih loe azom pui ai; toe kai loe nihcae boih pongah tok ka sak pop kue: to tiah om cadoeh kai mah ka sah ai, kai hoi nawnto kaom Sithaw tahmenhaih mah ni sak.
11 So whether it's I or them, this is the message we shared with you that brought you to trust in God.
To pongah kai mah doeh, to tih ai boeh loe nihcae mah doeh lok to kang taphong o baktiah, nangcae mah doeh na tang o boeh.
12 Now if the message declares that Christ has been raised from the dead, how is it that some of you say there's no resurrection of the dead?
Kri loe duekhaih thung hoi vaihi angthawk boeh, tiah kang thuih o boeh, toe kawbangmaw nangcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk mah loe kadueh kami angthawk lethaih om ai, tiah thuih o?
13 If there's no resurrection of the dead then Christ hasn't been raised either.
Kadueh kami angthawk lethaih om ai nahaeloe, Kri loe angthawk let ai, tih haih ih ni.
14 And if Christ isn't raised, then our message we shared with you is pointless, and your trust in God is pointless too.
Duekhaih thung hoi Kri angthawk let ai nahaeloe, aicae mah taphong ih lok loe azom pui ah om ueloe, nangcae tanghaih doeh azom pui ah ni om tih.
15 In addition, we would be shown to be false witnesses of God when we testified that God raised Christ from the dead. But God didn't raise Christ from the dead if it's true that there's no resurrection.
Ue, kadueh kami angthawk let ai nahaeloe, anih loe duekhaih thung hoi angthawk let ai to mah, Sithaw mah Kri to duekhaih thung hoi pathawk let boeh, tiah kang thuih o pongah, kaicae loe Sithaw hnukung amsawn ah ni ka om o tih.
16 If the dead are not raised, then Christ hasn't been raised either,
Kadueh kami angthawk let ai nahaeloe, Kri doeh angthawk let ai, tih haih ih ni.
17 and if Christ hasn't been raised, then your trust in God is useless, and you are still in your sins.
Kri angthawk let ai nahaeloe, nangcae tanghaih loe azom pui ah ni oh; nangcae loe nangmacae zaehaih thungah ni na oh o vop.
18 This also means that those who died in Christ are lost.
To pacoengah Kri ah iip kaminawk doeh anghmaa angtaa o boeh.
19 If our hope in Christ is only for this life, we're the most pitiful people of all!
A tawnh o ih Kri oephaih loe hae long nuiah hing nathung han khue ah om nahaeloe, aicae loe kaminawk boih pongah kamtang koekah ni a oh o.
20 But Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of the harvest from those who have died.
Toe Kri loe vaihi duekhaih hoi angthawk let boeh pongah, anih loe iip kaminawk ih thingthai tangsuek ah oh.
21 Just as death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead came through a man.
Kami rang hoiah duekhaih angzoh baktih toengah, kadueh angthawk lethaih doeh kami rang hoiah ni angzoh.
22 Just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Adam ah kami boih duek baktih toengah, Kri ah kami boih hing o toeng tih.
23 But each in their own turn: Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ when he comes.
Toe Kri loe kathai tangsuek thingthai ah oh; Anih angzoh naah Kri ah kaom kaminawk loe, angmacae ih atue phak naah angthawk o let tih.
24 After this comes the end, when Christ hands over the kingdom to God the Father, having destroyed all rulers, authorities, and powers.
Anih mah ukhaih, sakthaihaih hoi thacakhaihnawk pazawk boih pacoengah, long boenghaih to om tih, to naah ukhaih prae to Ampa, Sithaw khaeah paek tih.
25 Christ has to rule until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
A misanawk a khok tlim ah suem boih ai karoek to Anih mah uk tih.
26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
Hnukkhuem koekah pazawk han ih misa loe duekhaih to ni.
27 As Scripture says, “He put everything under his feet.” (Of course when it says “everything” is put under him it's obvious this doesn't refer to God who placed everything under Christ's authority.)
Anih mah hmuennawk to a khok tlim ah suek boih boeh. Toe hmuennawk boih Anih tlim ah suek boeh, tiah Anih mah thuih naah, hmuennawk boih Anih khok tlim ah Suemkung, Anih thuih koehhaih ih na ai ni, tito amtueng.
28 When everything has been placed under Christ's authority, then the Son will also place himself under God's authority, so that God who gave the Son authority over everything may be all in all.
Hmuennawk boih Anih tlim ah suek pacoengah, Sithaw loe tih boih boih ih Sithaw ah oh thai hanah, Capa loe hmuennawk boih Anih tlim ah Suemkung khaeah, angmah hoi angmah to ang paek tih.
29 Otherwise what will those people do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then would people be baptized for them?
Kadueh kami angthawk ai nahaeloe, kadueh kaminawk han tuinuem kaminawk loe kawbangmaw om o tih? Tipongah kadueh kaminawk hanah tui a nuem pae o loe?
30 As for us, why do we place ourselves in danger hour after hour?
Tipongah aicae loe ni thokkruek zithaih hoiah kho a sak o loe?
31 I die every day—let me say it bluntly, my brothers and sisters. This is just as sure as the pride I have for what Christ Jesus has done in you.
Kai loe ni thokkruek ka duek, aicae Angraeng Kri Jesu ah ka tawnh ih nangcae anghoehaih rang hoiah, ka thui thaih.
32 Humanly speaking, what would I gain by fighting with those people in Ephesus who were like wild animals, if the dead are not raised? If the dead are not raised, “let's eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”!
Kadueh kami angthawkhaih om ai nahaeloe, kaminawk ih khosakhaih baktiah, Efisa vangpui ah kasan moinawk hoi kang panhaih to tih atho maw om tih? Aicae loe khawnbangah a duek o han boeh pongah, Caak moe naek hanah ni a oh o boeh.
33 Don't be fooled: “bad company ruins good character.”
Minawk mah aling thaih koi kami ah om o hmah: kahoih ai kami hoi angkomhaih mah kahoih tuinuen to amrosak.
34 Come to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! Some of you don't know God. I tell you this to shame you.
Toenghaih bangah poek cai oh, zaehaih sah o hmah; thoemto kaminawk loe Sithaw panoekhaih tawn o ai: na zat o han ih ni hae lok hae kang thuih o.
35 Of course somebody will ask, “How exactly are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?”
Toe kadueh kami loe kawbangmaw angthawk let tih? Kawbaktih taksa hoiah maw angthawk tih? tiah thoemto kaminawk mah dueng o tih.
36 What a foolish question! What you sow doesn't sprout into life unless it dies.
Kamthu nang, Na patit ih aanmu loe qong ai ah amprawk thai ai:
37 When you sow, you don't sow the plant it will grow into, just the bare seed, whether wheat or whatever you're planting.
aanmu na patit naah, akung to na patii ai, cangti doeh, kalah aanmu doeh, amuu to ni na patit:
38 God makes the plant grow into the form he has chosen, and different seeds produce different plants with different forms.
Sithaw mah ni a koeh baktiah akung ah angcoengsak, amu boih angmacae ih amuu baktih toengah akung ah angcoengsak.
39 What living things are made from is not the same. Human beings have one kind of body tissue, while animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
Taksa loe anghmong o boih ai: kami taksa, moi taksa, tanga taksa, tavaa taksa, tiah oh o.
40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. Heavenly bodies have one kind of beauty, earthly bodies another.
Van taksa oh baktih toengah, long taksa doeh oh: toe van taksa lensawkhaih to lah moe, long taksa lensawkhaih doeh lah.
41 The sun shines in one way, and the moon another, while the stars are different again, with each one shining in a different way.
Ni lensawkhaih, khrah lensawkhaih hoi cakaehnawk lensawkhaih to anghmong ai: cakaeh maeto hoi maeto lensawkhaih doeh lah boih.
42 It's the same with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay; it is raised to last forever.
Kadueh kami angthawk lethaih doeh to tiah ni oh. Qong hanah patit ih oh baktih toengah, qong ai ah angthawkhaih doeh oh:
43 It is sown in shame; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
patit naah pakoeh han om ai; angthawk naah loe lensawkhaih hoiah akoep: patit naah thazok; angthawk naah loe thacakhaih hoiah akoep:
44 It is sown as a natural body; it is raised as a spiritual body. Just as there are natural bodies there are spiritual bodies.
patit naah long taksa ah oh; angthawk naah loe Muithla taksa ah oh. Long taksa oh baktih toengah, Muithla taksa doeh oh.
45 As Scripture says, “The first man, Adam, became a living being;” but the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
Hmaloe koek kami Adam loe hinghaih tawn kami ah oh, tiah tarik ih oh; hnukkhuem koek Adam loe hinghaih paekkung Muithla ah oh.
46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural—the spiritual came after that.
Toe Muithla taksa to om hmaloe ai, long taksa ni oh hmaloe, to pacoengah ni Muithla taksa to oh vop.
47 The first man is from the dust of the earth; the second man is from heaven.
Hmaloe koek kami loe long hoiah ni sak, to pongah long kami ah oh: hnetto haih kami loe van bang ih Angraeng ah oh.
48 Earthly people are like the man made from the earth; heavenly people are like the man from heaven.
Long kaminawk loe, long kami baktiah oh o: van kaminawk loe, van kami baktiah oh o.
49 Just as we bore the likeness of the earthly man so we shall bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
Aicae loe long hoi kaom krang kanghmong ah tapen baktih toengah, van hoi kaom krang hoiah doeh anghmong toeng tih.
50 However, I tell you this, my brothers and sisters: our present bodies cannot inherit the kingdom of God. These decaying bodies cannot inherit what lasts forever.
Nawkamyanawk, taksa hoi athii mah Sithaw prae toep o thai mak ai; kaqong thaih mah kaqong thai ai to toep thai mak ai, tiah ka thuih.
51 Listen, I'm going to reveal a mystery! Not all of us will die—but we will all be changed,
Tahngai oh, loktamqu kang thuih o han; aicae loe a iip o boih mak ai, aicae loe,
52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised never to die again, and we will be changed.
hnukkhuem koek mongkah to uengh naah, akra ai ah, mik pakhrip nathung amkhraih o boih tih: mongkah uengh naah kadueh kaminawk loe kaqong thai ai ah angthawk o tih, aicae loe amkhraih tih boeh.
53 For this perishable body must be clothed with a body that never perishes. This mortal life must be clothed with immortality.
Hae kaqong thaih hmuen hae, kaqong thai ai hmuen mah khuk ueloe, hae kadueh thaih hmuen hae, kadueh thai ai hmuen mah khuk tih.
54 When this perishable body has been clothed with a body that never perishes, and this mortal life has been clothed with immortality, then the Scripture will come true that says, “Death has been totally conquered and destroyed.
Hae kaqong thaih hmuen hae, kaqong thai ai hmuen mah khuk moe, hae kadueh thaih hmuen hae, kadueh thai ai hmuen mah khuk naah loe, Pazawkhaih mah duekhaih to paaeh ving boeh, tiah tarik ih lok to akoep tih boeh.
Aw duekhaih, nang ih kasoe loe naah maw oh? Aw taprong na pazawkhaih loe naah maw oh? (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting that causes death is sin; and the power of sin is the law;
Zae loe duekhaih kasoe ah oh moe, kaalok loe zae thacakhaih ah oh.
57 but praise God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Toe aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri rang hoiah pazawkhaih paekung, Sithaw khaeah pakoehaih om nasoe.
58 So my dear brothers and sisters: be strong, stand firm, doing everything you can for the Lord's work, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord is wasted.
To pongah, palung ih nawkamyanawk, poek amkhrai o hmah, kacakah angdoe oh. Angraeng ih tok to sah o poe ah, Angraeng toksak loe azom pui ai ni, tito panoek oh.
