1 Corinthians 15
1 Now, my fellow believers, I want to remind you about the message about Christ that I preached to you. It is the message that you received and that you have continued to trust firmly.
Eigi ichil-inaosa, eina nakhoida sandoklamba, aduga nakhoina lousinduna madugi mathakta chetna lepliba, Aphaba Pao adu nakhoida ningsinghanba eina pamjei.
2 If you keep on firmly [believing] this message that I preached to you, you will be saved {[God] will save you}. If you do not continue to believe it, your believing [in Christ] was (all for nothing/useless)!
Eina nakhoida sandoklamba adu nakhoina chetna pairabadi Aphaba Pao asigi mapanna nakhoibusu kanbirabani. Adu nattrabadi nakhoina arembada thajare.
3 The most important part of the message that I received [from the Lord Jesus], and that I told you, was this: Christ died to [take away the guilt] of our sins, as the Scriptures [said that he would do].
Maramdi einasu phangjaraba khwaidagi maruoiba adu eina nakhoida pire. Madudi Mapugi Puyagi matung-inna Christtana eikhoigi papkidamak sibire,
4 His [dead body] was buried {They buried his [body]}. On the third day [after that], [God] caused him to become alive again, as the Scriptures [said would happen].
Aduga Ibungobu leirol challe, amasung Mapugi Puyagi matung-inna humnisuba numitta Ibungona hinggatle.
5 After that, [Christ] was seen by {appeared to} Peter. Then he appeared to [eleven of] the [original] twelve [apostles].
Aduga Ibungona Peter-da, adudagi tung-inba taranithoida uhabire.
6 Later he was seen by {appeared to} more than 500 of our fellow believers. Most of those are still living, but some of them have died [EUP].
Madugi matungda Ibungona amuktada chamangadagi henba ichil inaosingda uhanbire. Makhoigi manungda khara sikhrabasu ayambadi houjiksu hingli.
7 Then he was seen by {appeared [to]} [his younger brother] James, [who became the leader of the congregation in Jerusalem]. Then he appeared to all of the apostles.
Madugi matungda Ibungona Jacob-ta adudagi pakhonchatpa pumnamakta uhanbire.
8 Finally, he was seen by {appeared to} me, but I became an apostle in a way that was very unusual [MET].
Aduga pumnamakki ikon konbada, matam nattana pokpa amagum oirabasu, Ibungona eingondasu uhanbire.
9 The fact is, I [consider that I] am the least important of the apostles. I do not deserve to be an apostle, because I (persecuted God’s groups of believers/caused God’s groups of believers to suffer) [everywhere I went].
Maramdi pakhonchatpasinggi maraktagi eina khwaidagi apikpani aduga pakhonchatpa haina koubada matik chadraba eihakni maramdi eina Tengban Mapugi singluppu ot-neikhi.
10 But it is because God acted kindly toward me in ways that I did not deserve that I became what I am now. And his acting kindly toward me produced a great result [LIT], which is that I worked harder [for Christ] than all the other apostles. But it was not that I [was working with my own ability]. Instead, God was helping me in a way I did not deserve.
Adubu eina oijariba asi Tengban Mapugi thoujalna oijaribani, aduga mahakna eingonda pinabiriba thoujal adu aremba natte. Maramdi atei pakhonchatpa pumnamaktagi henna eina su-nomjare adumakpu madu eina natte adubu eingonda loinabiriba Tengban Mapugi thoujal adunani.
11 So it does not matter whether it was I [who was preaching or whether it was the other apostles who were preaching]. We all preached [the same message], and that message is what you believed.
Adu oirabadi eina oirabasu makhoina oirabasu eikhoi pumnamakna pao adu sandok-i, aduga pao adumak nakhoina thajare.
12 So now [let me ask you this]: Since [we] have all preached to you that Christ was raised again {that [God] caused Christ to become alive} after he died, (no one among you should be saying that [God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again after they die!/why do some of you say that [God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again after they die?) [RHQ]
Houjik, Christtana sibadagi hinggatle haiba pao asi eikhoina sandoklabadi, nakhoi kharana asibana hinggatte haina karamna hairibano?
13 If [it is true that God] will not cause anyone to become alive again, that situation would mean that Christ was not raised from the dead {[he] did not cause Christ to become alive again}!
Maramdi sibadagi hinggatpa haiba asi leitrabadi Christtasu hinggattre.
14 And if Christ was not raised from the dead {if [God] did not cause Christ to become alive again}, then what we preached to you was useless, and your believing [in Christ] is useless.
Aduga Christtana hinggattrabadi eikhoina pao sandokpa asi arembani aduga nakhoigi thajabasu arembani.
15 [If it is true that] no one will be raised from the dead {[that God] will not cause anyone to become alive again after he dies}, we [(exc)] have been guilty of lying to you about God, because we told you that God caused Christ to become alive again.
Adugisu mathakta eikhoina Tengban Mapugi maramda chin thire, maramdi Tengban Mapuna Christtabu hinggathanbire haina eikhoina hai. Adubu asibasingna hinggatte haiba asina achumba oirabadi Tengban Mapuna Ibungobu hinggat-hanbidre.
16 But if it were really true that no one who has died will be raised {that [God will] not cause anyone who has died to become alive} again, then Christ was not raised {[he] did not cause Christ to become alive} again either!
Maramdi asibasingna hinggattrabadi Christtasu hinggattre.
17 If it were true that Christ was not raised {that [God] did not cause Christ to become alive} again after he died, you have believed in Christ for nothing, [because] God will still [punish] you for [MTY] your sins.
Aduga Christtabu hinggat-hanbidrabadi nakhoigi thajaba adu arembani amasung nakhoina houjiksu nakhoigi papta leiri.
18 And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. (questioned)
Adu oirabadi Christtada thajaduna sikhraba makhoising adu mangle.
19 In this life [many of us have suffered much for Christ] because we confidently expect [that he will reward us in heaven]. If we have confidently expected this in vain, people should pity us more than they pity anyone else!
Hinglingei punsi asikhaktagi oina eikhoina Christtada asha thamjaba oirabadi taibanpanda leiriba mi pumnamaktagi eikhoina khwaidagi minungsi pokningngai oire.
20 But [the truth is that] Christ has been raised from the dead {that [God] has caused Christ to live again after he had died}, and (that guarantees/because of that, it is certain) [MET] that he will also cause those [believers] who have died [EUP] to become alive again.
Adubu asengbamak Christtana sibadagi hinggattuna asibasinggi maraktagi ahanba mahei oire.
21 What one man, [Adam, did affects us all]. We all die. Similarly, what one man—[Christ]—did [affects us(inc) all]: God will cause [all believers] to become alive again.
Maramdi mi amagi maramdagi siba lakkhiba adugumna mi amagi mapaldagi sibadagi hinggatpasu lakle.
22 Because of what Adam did, all [of us who are descended] from him die. Similarly, because of what [Christ did], all of us who have a close relationship with him will be brought back to life {[God] will make alive all of us who have a close relationship with Christ}.
Maramdi mi pumnamakna Adam-ga amata oibagi maramna pumnamakna sire, matou adugumduna mi pumnamakna Christtaga amata oibagi maramna pumnamakna hinggatkani.
23 But we must all take our turn. [God raised] Christ first [MET]. And when Christ returns, [God will cause] those who belong to Christ to become alive again.
Adubu mi khudingna magi magi mathang manao matung inna oigani. Ahanbada ahanba mahei oiriba Christta, madugi matungdana Ibungona lenglakpada magi oikhrabasing,
24 Then, after Christ has destroyed all [DOU] the evil powers that oppose God, [the world] will end. Then Christ will give to God, his Father, his kingdom to completely rule over it.
Adudagi Christtana leingakpa pumnamak, matik pumnamak amadi panggal pumnamak manghallaga ningthou leibak adu Mapa Ibungo Tengban Mapuda sinnaraba matungda aroiba matam adu lakkani.
25 You must realize that Christ must rule [here on earth] until he has completely defeated [MTY] all his enemies.
Maramdi Ibungona yeknaba pumnamakpu maithiba piduna mahakki khongyada thamdriphaoba Ibungona panba tare.
26 The last thing that [he] will get rid of is death. [But he certainly will get rid of death, which is like] an enemy [to us].
Ibungona manghangadaba aroiba yeknaba adudi sibani.
27 [In the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] God will cause everything to be under Christ’s [authority] [MTY]. But it is clear that the word ‘everything’ here does not include God, because God is the one who will cause everything to be under Christ’s [authority] [MTY].
Maramdi Mapugi Puyana hai, “Tengban Mapuna pot pumnamakpu Ibungogi khuyakhada thamduna mahakki makha polhalle.” Adubu “pot pumnamak” haiba asida pot pumnamakpu Ibungogi khuyakhada thambiriba Tengban Mapu masamakti maduda yaode haibasi mayek seng-i.
28 After everything is put under [the authority of] God’s Son, then Christ will put himself completely under [the authority of] God, the one who gave him that authority. Then God will be completely in control of everything [IDM], everywhere.
Adubu pumnamak asibu Ibungogi makha polhanbiba matamda pumnamakpu makha polhanbiriba Tengban Mapu aduna pumnamakki mathakta pannanaba Machanupa aduna masamakpusu Tengban Mapugi makha polhanjagani.
29 [Now think about this: Some among you] are being baptized (OR, are baptizing people) on behalf of those who died [before someone baptized them] (OR, who died [before they became believers]). If, [as some people say, believers] will not be raised [from the dead] {[God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again}, (what is the value in those people doing that?/there is no value in those people doing that!) [RHQ] If [God] will not cause any [believers] to become alive again, it is senseless to be baptized {baptize anyone} on behalf of someone who has died. [RHQ]
Houjik, sibadagi hinggatpa haiba asi leitrabadi asibasinggidamak baptize louriba makhoina kari tougadage? Karigumba asibasingna suk-hing hinggatloidaba leirabadi misingna asiba misinggi mahutta baptize touriba karigino?
30 Furthermore, [if God will not cause us believers to become alive again], it is [RHQ] very foolish for me and the other apostles to be constantly [putting ourselves] in danger [because we tell people the gospel].
Aduga eikhoina pungja khuding karigi khudongthiba maiyoknagadouribano?
31 My fellow believers, every day I [am in danger of] being killed {people killing me}! That is as true as it is that I am pleased with you because of your close relationship with Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ichil-inaosing, eina numit khudinggi siba maiyoknari! Masi achumbamakni haibasi eikhoigi Ibungo Christta Jisuga amata oiminnariba eikhoigi punsida, nakhoida leiba eigi choathokchaba adugi mapana eina nakhoida masi phongdokchabani.
32 [If God will not cause us believers to become alive again after we die], (I will receive no benefit at all [from having opposed those who attacked me so strongly] in Ephesus [city]./what will I gain [from having opposed those who attacked me so strongly] in Ephesus [city]?) [RHQ] They were [fighting me like] wild beasts! If we [believers] will not be raised [from the dead] {If [God] will not cause us [believers] to live again}, we might as well say [as people often say]: “Tomorrow we are going to die, so we might as well enjoy now everything that we can. We might as well feast and get drunk!”
Aduga mioibagi oiba machat adu khaktagidamak eina Ephesus-ta lamgi sasing aduga lanthengnarabadi eigi kari tongjaba leibage? Karigumba asibasingna hinggattaba tarabadi, “Eikhoi chasi thaksi, maramdi hayeng sigadaba punsini.”
33 Do not let [yourselves be deceived by those who say that God will not cause believers to live again] {Do not let [people who say that God will not cause believers to live again] deceive you}. If you associate with evil people [who say such things], they will (influence you to do evil things/destroy your good moral way of living).
Nakhoibu lanna lamjinghan-ganu. “Phattaba miga tinnabana aphaba lamchatpu manghalli.”
34 Start thinking correctly again [about these matters], as you should, and [stop your sinful behavior which has resulted from] your wrong thinking. [I say that] because [it seems that] some among you do not know God, and as a result they [are thinking wrongly]. I say that to make you ashamed.
Nakhoina oipham thokpagum achumba pukning wakhal aduda hallaklo, aduga pap touba toklo. Nakhoi kharadi Tengban Mapu khangde haina eina hairiba asi nakhoina ikainaba hairibani.
35 But some of you are asking, “How will dead people be raised {How will [God] cause dead people to become alive} again? What kind of bodies will they have?”
Aduga kanagumbana hanglakkani, “Asibabu matou karamna hinggatkadouribano? Makhoigi hakchangna karamba makhalgi hakchang oigani?”
36 [Anyone who asks such questions is] foolish. You [know that] a seed that is planted in the ground must completely change its form [MET] before it sprouts.
He apangba, nahakna maru hunba matamda maru adu sidragadi hingbagi mayol chonglakte.
37 A seed, such as a wheat seed, is very different from the plant that sprouts from it.
Nahakna gehubu oirabasu nattraga atei mahei marong oirabasu nahakna thaba matamda maru aduta oina hulli, mapungphaba pambi oina hunde.
38 God gives everything that lives the form that he desires. He gives each seed its own form.
Tengban Mapu mahakna leppibagi matung-inna maru aduda pambigi mawong pibi, aduga maru makhal khudingda magi magi pambigi mawong pibi.
39 [Similarly], people, animals, birds, and fish all have flesh, but each one has a different kind of flesh.
Thawai panba khudingmakki hakchang asi makhal amakhaktagi natte. Mioibagi hakchang makhal ama lei aduga sasinggina attoppa makhal ama, ucheksinggi ama amasung ngasinggigina atoppa makhal ama lei.
40 Also, there are angelic beings in heaven (OR, stars and planets in the sky), and there are people with bodies on the earth. The angelic beings (OR, stars and planets) are beautiful in one way, and people on earth are beautiful in a different way.
Aduga swargagi oiba hakchangsu lei amasung malem taibangpan-gi oiba hakchangsingsu lei. Adubu swargagi oiba hakchangsinggi matik mangalna amani aduga taibangpangi oiba hakchangsinggi matik mangalna amani.
41 The sun is bright in one way, and the moon is bright in a different way, and the stars are bright in a different way. And even the various stars are different from each other in how bright they are.
Numit masagi oiba matik mangal ama leijei, thagisu atoppa matik mangal ama leijei, amasung thawanmichakki phajabana atoppa amani; aduga thawanmichaksinggi marakta phaoba tongan tonganba makhalgi phajaba leijei.
42 And it is the same way [with our bodies. The bodies that we will have when God causes us] to live again after we die [will not be the same as the bodies that we have now] [MET]. [The bodies that we have now] will die and decay. [The new bodies that we will have] will never die.
Asibana hinggatpa matamdasu asigumna oigadouribani. Leirol chankhiba hakchang adudi mangba nai, adubu hinggatlakpa matamdadi madu mangba nairaroi.
43 We despise [the bodies that we have now], before we die. But our [new bodies] will be glorious. The [bodies that we have before we die] are weak. But our new bodies will be strong.
Leirol chanba matamdadi madu athiba oi amasung solli, adubu hinggatlakpa matamdadi matik mangal leigani amadi matik leigani.
44 The bodies that we have before we die are natural bodies. But [our new bodies] will be ones that [God’s] Spirit ([controls/gives us]). Just like there are natural bodies, there are bodies that [God’s] Spirit [completely] controls (OR, makes alive).
Leirol chanba matamdadi madu mahousagi oiba hakchangni adubu hinggatlakpa matamdadi thawaigi oiba hakchang oigani. Mahousagi oiba hakchang leiba tarabadi thawaigi oiba hakchangsu leigani.
45 [In the Scriptures] it is written {we read} that [when] the first man, Adam, [was created], he became a living human being. [Christ later also became a human being]. But [he is different from Adam, because he] became a person who gives us [spiritual] life.
Maramdi Mapugi Puyana asumna hai, “Ahanba mi Adam asidi thawai panba ama oina semkhibani” adubu Akonba Adam asidi hingba pibiba Thawai aduni.
46 But our bodies that God’s Spirit (will completely control/will give us) are not the first bodies that we have. We have our natural bodies first.
Haanna lakkhiba adu thawaigi oiba adu natte, adubu hakchanggi oiba aduni, aduga madugi matungda thawaigi oiba aduni.
47 The first man, [Adam], was created {[God] created the first man, Adam} from the dust of the earth. But [Christ], the one who came later, came from heaven.
Ahanba Adam adu leibaktagi sembani, leibaktagi lakpani; aduga anisuba Adam aduna swargadagi lakpani.
48 Everyone on earth [has a body] like the first man on the earth had. And in heaven, [everyone will have a body like Christ], the man who came from heaven, has.
Malem taibangpan asigi mising asi leibaktagi semba mi asiga mannei; aduga swargagi oibasing aduna swargadagi lenglakpa mi asiga mannei.
49 And just like [God] gave us bodies like the first man on earth had, so we [believers will have bodies] like [Christ] has, who is now in heaven.
Houjik eikhoina leibaktagi semba mi adugumna oibagum, nongmadi eikhoina swargadagi lenglakpa mi adugi matougumna oigani.
50 My fellow believers, I want you to know that we [(inc)] [SYN] cannot go [to heaven, where] God rules [over everything], with our physical bodies, because our bodies [cannot last forever]. They will die and decay.
Nungsijaraba ichil-inaosing, eina hainingba adudi, ee-tongna semba hakchang asina Tengban Mapugi Leibak adu phangba ngamloi, aduga mangba naiba hakchang asina mangba naidaba adu phangba ngamloi.
51 But I will tell you something that [God] has not revealed [before]: [Some of] us [believers] will not die [EUP]. However, all of us will be changed {[God] will change all of us}.
Yeng-u, eina nakhoida athuppa wa hairi: Eikhoi khudingmak loina siroi, adubu akonba peresingga khongba matam aduda khudakta, mitna kuppada eikhoi pumnamakpu onthokpigani. Maramdi peresingga adu khongba matamda amuk hanna siraroidaba oina asibasingbu hinggat-hanbigani aduga eikhoi pumnamakpu onthokpigani.
52 [It will happen] suddenly, as [fast as someone can] blink his eye [MET], when [we hear the sound of God’s] trumpet for the last time. When we hear that trumpet, all [the believers] who have died will come back to life and will have bodies that are changed {that [God] has changed}, bodies that will never decay.
53 And the [bodies of us who are alive at that time] will [also] be changed {And [God] will [also] change the [bodies of us who are alive at that time]}. These bodies of ours that die and decay must be transformed into [new bodies that] will never die; [it will be like someone] [MET] getting rid of [his old clothes] and putting on [new ones].
Maramdi mangba naiba adubu mangba naidaba oina onthokpigani; aduga siba naiba adubu siba naidaba oina onthokpigani.
54 When that happens, what is written {what ([a prophet/Isaiah]) wrote} [in the Scriptures] will come true/happen: [God] will completely get rid of [MET] death. Our dying will no longer have any power to defeat us;
Asumna mangba naibasing adubu mangba naidaba oina hongdokpirabada, Mapugi Puyada ikhiba wasing adu thunglagani: “Asiba adu manghankhre; lan-ngamba adu mapung phare!”
“Siba, nahakki lanngamba adu kadaidano? Siba, nahakki mamu adu kadaida leibage?” (Hadēs g86)
56 It is because we sin [MET] [that we die, and it is because we] have God’s laws that we [know that we] have sinned.
Sibagi mamudi papni, aduga papna mahakki panggal adu wayel yathangdagi phang-i.
57 But because of what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done], he enables us to be free [from having to obey God’s laws to be saved and to be free of being afraid to die]. We should thank God for that!
Adubu eikhoigi Ibungo Jisu Christtagi mapanna eikhoida lan-ngamba pinabiba Tengban Mapubu thagatchei!
58 So, my fellow believers whom I love, continue to hold strongly to [the things that you believe]. Do not let anything cause you to doubt them. Always be doing enthusiastically the work that the Lord [gives you]. And remember that the work that you do for the Lord is never (in vain/useless), [as it would be if God will not cause us to live again after we die].
Maram aduna, nungsijaraba ichil-inaosa, nakhoina lengdaba amadi chetna leppa oiyu. Nakhoina Ibungogi thougalgidamak hotnajaribasing adu aremba natte haiba nakhoina khangjabagi maramna matam pumnamakta Ibungogi thougal toujabada nathou chinba oiyu.
