1 Corinthians 15
1 And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you also received, in which you also have stood,
Koulye a, mwen fè konnen a nou menm, frè m yo, levanjil ke mwen te preche a nou an, ke osi nou te resevwa a ladann osi nou kanpe.
2 through which you are also being saved, if you hold fast [to] the word—what I proclaimed as good news to you—unless you believed in vain.
Pa li menm osi nou ap sove, si nou kenbe fèm a pawòl ke m te preche a nou an, amwenske nou te kwè anven.
3 For I delivered to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Writings,
Paske mwen te livre a nou kon bagay ki pi enpòtan nan sa ke mwen osi te resevwa a, ke Kris la te mouri pou peche nou yo selon Ekriti sen yo,
4 and that He was buried, and that He has risen on the third day according to the Writings,
ke Li te antere, e ke Li te leve nan twazyèm jou a selon Ekriti yo.
5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve,
Epi ke Li te parèt a Céphas, e answit, a douz yo.
6 afterward He appeared to above five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, and some also fell asleep;
Apre sa, Li te parèt a plis ke senk san frè yon sèl kou, pifò nan yo rete la jiska prezan, malgre kèk nan yo gen tan mouri.
7 afterward He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Answit Li te parèt a Jacques, e answit tout apot yo.
8 And last of all—as to the untimely birth—He also appeared to me,
Epi an dènye, tankou youn pitit ki pa t fèt nan pwòp moman an, Li te parèt a mwen menm tou.
9 for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Assembly of God,
Paske mwen se pi piti a pami apot yo, e ki pa menm dign pou rele apot, paske mwen te konn pèsekite legliz Bondye a.
10 and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] toward me did not come in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] with me;
Men, pa gras Bondye, mwen sa ke mwen ye a, e gras Li anvè mwen pa anven, men mwen te travay menm plis pase yo tout, malgre se pa t mwen, men gras a Bondye ki te avè m nan.
11 whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
Alò, kit se te pa mwen, kit se te pa yo, konsa nou te preche, epi konsa nou tout te kwè.
12 And if Christ is preached, that He has risen out of the dead, how [do] certain among you say that there is no resurrection of [the] dead?
Alò, si Kris la preche, ke Li te leve nan lanmò, kijan kèk pami nou ap di ke pa gen rezirèksyon mò yo?
13 And if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither has Christ risen;
Si pa gen rezirèksyon pou mò yo, menm Kris la pa t leve.
14 and if Christ has not risen, then our preaching [is] void, and your faith [is] also void,
Epi si Kris la pa t leve, answit nou ap preche anven, e lafwa nou osi anven.
15 and we are also found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
Anplis ke sa, nou menm vin twouve nou kòm fo temwen a Bondye, paske nou te temwaye kont Bondye, ke Li te leve Kris la, ke Li pa t leve vrèman, si anfèt mò yo pa leve.
16 for if dead persons do not rise, neither has Christ risen,
Paske si mò yo pa leve, menm Kris la pa t leve.
17 and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins;
Epi si Kris la pa t leve, lafwa nou vin san valè, e nou toujou nan peche nou yo.
18 then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ perished;
Answit sila ki mouri nan Kris yo peri.
19 if we only have hope in Christ in this life, we are to be most pitied of all men.
Konsa, si nou te mete espwa nou nan Kris sèlman nan vi sa a, nou pami moun ki pi pitwayab ke tout moun.
20 And now, Christ has risen out of the dead—He became the first-fruits of those sleeping,
Men alò, Kris te vrèman leve soti nan lanmò, kon premye fwi de sila ki mouri yo.
21 for since through man [is] death, also through Man [is] a resurrection of the dead,
Paske si se pa yon sèl moun, lanmò te vini, pa yon moun osi, rezirèksyon mò yo te vini.
22 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all will be made alive,
Paske tankou nan Adam tout moun te mouri an, menm jan an tou nan Kris tout moun va gen lavi.
23 and each in his proper order: Christ, a first-fruit, afterward those who are the Christ’s in His coming,
Men chak moun nan pwòp lòd li: Kris, kon premye fwi yo, apre sa sila ki nan Kris yo lè L vini.
24 then—the end, when He may deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He may have made all rule useless, and all authority and power.
Answit va vini lafen, lè Li livre wayòm nan a Bondye, Papa a, lè Li fin aboli tout wayòm yo, tout otorite yo, avèk tout pwisans yo.
25 For it is necessary for Him to reign until He may have put all the enemies under His feet.
Paske fòk li renye jiskaske Li mete tout lènmi Li yo anba pye Li.
26 The last enemy is done away with—death.
Dènye lènmi ki va aboli a se lanmò.
27 For He put all things under His feet, and when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who subjected all things to Him,
Paske “Li te fè tout bagay soumèt anba pye Li.” Men lè Li di: “Tout bagay soumèt”, li byen klè ke Li menm ki te fè tout bagay soumèt a Li menm nan, pa ladann.
28 and when all things may be subjected to Him, then also the Son Himself will be subject to Him, who subjected to Him all things, that God may be the all in all.
Lè tout bagay soumèt a Li menm, answit Fis la, Li menm, osi va vin soumèt a Sila ki te soumèt tout bagay a Li menm nan, pou Bondye kapab tout nan tout bagay.
29 Seeing what will they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they also immersed for the dead?
Otreman, kisa sila yo ki batize pou mò yo va fè? Si mò yo pa leve menm, alò poukisa yo batize pou yo?
30 Why do we also stand in peril every hour?
Poukisa nou menm tou, nou an danje a chak moman?
31 I die every day, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Mwen dakò fè nou konnen, frè m yo, pa fyète ke m gen nan nou, ak nan Jésus Kri Senyè nou an, mwen mouri chak jou.
32 If I fought with wild beasts in Ephesus after the manner of a man, what [is] the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!
Si se te pou yon motif moun ke m te goumen avèk bèt sovaj chak jou an Éphèse yo, ki pwofi sa t ap ban mwen? Si mò yo pa leve “Annou manje ak bwè, paske demen n ap mouri.”
33 Do not be led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
Pa twonpe tèt nou: “Move zanmi gate bon prensip.”
34 wake up, as is right, and do not sin; for some have an ignorance of God; I say [it] to you for shame.
Vin reflechi byen serye jan nou ta dwe fè a, e sispann fè peche; paske kèk nan nou pa menm gen konesans a Bondye. Mwen pale sa pou fè nou wont.
35 But someone will say, “How do the dead rise?”
Men yon moun va di: “Kijan mò yo leve a?” Epi “avèk ki kalite kò yo ap vini?”
36 Unwise! You—what you sow is not quickened except it may die;
Moun sòt! Sa ke nou simen pa kapab vin gen lavi amwenske li mouri;
37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of someone of the others,
Epi sa ke nou simen an, nou pa simen kò a li menm, men yon senp ti grenn, petèt yon ble oubyen yon lòt bagay.
38 and God gives a body to it according as He willed, and its proper body to each of the seeds.
Men Bondye bay li yon kò jis jan ke Li te dezire a, e a chak grenn semans yo yon kò pou kont li.
39 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;
Tout chè pa menm kalite chè. Gen yon chè pou lòm, e yon lòt chè pou bèt, yon lòt chè pou zwazo, e yon lòt pou pwason.
40 and [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;
Gen osi kò selès ak kò tèrès, men laglwa selès la se youn, e laglwa tèrès la se yon lòt.
41 one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star differs from star in glory.
Gen yon glwa nan solèy la, yon lòt glwa nan lalin lan, e yon lòt nan zetwal yo; paske chak zetwal apa nan glwa li.
42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
Menm jan an tou pou rezirèksyon a mò yo. Li simen kòm yon kò perisab, men li leve kòm yon kò enperisab.
43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
Li simen nan dezonè, li leve nan laglwa. Li simen nan feblès, li leve nan pouvwa.
44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;
Li simen kòm yon kò natirèl; li leve kòm yon kò espirityèl. Si gen yon kò natirèl, anplis gen yon kò espirityèl.
45 so also it has been written: “The first man Adam became a living creature,” the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,
Menm jan an osi sa ekri: “Premye lòm nan, Adam, te devni yon nanm vivan.” Dènye Adam an, Jésus Kris, yon lespri ki bay lavi.
46 but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterward that which [is] spiritual.
Sepandan, sa ki gen lespri a pa vini avan, men sa ki natirèl la, answit sa ki gen lespri a.
47 The first man [is] out of the earth—earthly; the second Man [is] the LORD out of Heaven;
Premye lòm nan sòti nan latè. Li se moun tèrès. Dezyèm lòm nan sòti nan syèl la.
48 as [is] the earthly, such [are] also the earthly; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;
Jan tè a ye a, se konsa sila ki tèrès yo ye tou; e menm jan selès la ye a, konsa selès yo ye tou.
49 and according as we bore the image of the earthly, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
Jis jan ke nou pote imaj a tèrès la, konsa osi nou va pote imaj a selès la.
50 And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the corruption inherit the incorruption.
Alò m ap di sa, frè m yo, ke chè ak san pa kapab eritye wayòm Bondye a; ni sa ki perisab la pa kapab eritye sa ki enperisab la.
51 Behold, I tell you a secret: we indeed will not all sleep, but we will all be changed;
Gade byen, m ap di nou yon mistè. Se pa nou tout ki va mouri, men nou tout va chanje,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed;
nan yon moman, nan yon ti bat zye, nan dènye twonpèt la. Paske twonpèt la va sone, mò yo va vin leve enperisab, e nou tout va vin chanje.
53 for it is necessary for this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;
Paske perisab la dwe abiye avèk enperisab la, e mòtèl sa a dwe abiye avèk imòtalite.
54 and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the word that has been written: “Death was swallowed up—to victory;
Men lè perisab sila a fin abiye avèk enperisab la, e mòtèl sila a fin abiye avèk imòtalite a, alò va vin akonpli pawòl ki ekri a: “Lanmò vin vale nèt pa viktwa.”
“O lanmò, kote viktwa ou? O lanmò, kote doulè pikan an?” (Hadēs g86)
56 And the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the Law;
Doulè pikan lanmò a se peche, e pouvwa a peche a se Lalwa a.
57 and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Men gras a Bondye, ki bannou viktwa atravè Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
58 so that, my beloved brothers, become steadfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the LORD at all times, knowing that your labor in the LORD is not vain.
Pou sa, byeneme frè m yo, rete fidèl, san varye, toujou ranpli avèk bon zèv Senyè a, avèk konesans ke travay nou nan Senyè a pa anven.
