1 Korintiana 15
1 Ary ampahafantariko anareo, ry rahalahy, ny filazantsara izay notoriko taminareo sy noraisinareo sady iorenanareo,
Now I remind you, brothers, of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you received and on which you stand.
2 izay amonjena anareo koa, raha tananareo tsara araka izay teny notoriko taminareo, raha tsy nino foana ianareo.
It is by this gospel that you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3 Fa natolotro anareo ho isan’ ny zavatra voalohany indrindra ilay noraisiko, dia izao: Kristy maty noho ny fahotantsika araka ny Soratra Masìna,
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
4 dia nalevina, ary natsangana tamin’ ny andro fahatelo araka ny Soratra Masìna;
that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
5 ary niseho tamin’ i Kefasy Izy, dia vao tamin’ ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy koa.
Christ appeared to Cephas, and then to the twelve;
6 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.
then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once. Most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.
7 Rehefa afaka izany, dia niseho tamin’ i Jakoba Izy, dia tamin’ ny Apostoly rehetra.
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
8 Ary faran’ izy rehetra, izaho, izay toy ny tsy tonga volana aza, dia mba nisehoany koa.
Last of all, he appeared to me, as if to a child born at the wrong time.
9 Fa izaho dia ambany indrindra amin’ ny Apostoly ka tsy miendrika hatao hoe Apostoly, satria efa nanenjika ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra aho.
For I am the least of the apostles. I am unworthy to be called an apostle because I persecuted the church of God.
10 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.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace in me was not in vain. Instead, I worked harder than all of them. Yet it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.
11 Koa na izaho na ry zareo, dia araka izany no fitorinay, ary araka izany koa no ninoanareo.
Therefore whether it is I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
12 Ary raha Kristy no torina fa natsangana tamin’ ny maty, ahoana no ilazan’ ny sasany eo aminareo fa tsy misy fitsanganan’ ny maty?
Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Fa raha tsy misy fitsanganan’ ny maty, na dia Kristy aza dia tsy natsangana;
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;
14 ary raha tsy natsangana Kristy, dia foana ny toriteninay, ary foana koa ny finoanareo.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
15 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.
Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we testified against God, saying he raised up Christ when he did not.
16 Fa raha tsy hatsangana ny maty, na dia Kristy koa aza dia tsy natsangana;
For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;
17 ary raha tsy natsangana Kristy, dia foana ny finoanareo; ary mbola ao amin’ ny fahotanareo ihany ianareo;
and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain and you are still in your sins.
18 dia very koa izay efa nodimandry ao amin’ i Kristy.
Then those who have died in Christ have also perished.
19 Raha amin’ izao fiainana izao ihany no anantenantsika an’ i Kristy, dia mahantra indrindra noho ny olona rehetra isika.
If only in this life we have hope in Christ, of all people we are most to be pitied.
20 Nefa tsy izany, fa efa natsangana tamin’ ny maty tokoa Kristy ho santatr’ izay efa nodi-mandry.
But now Christ, who is the firstfruits of those who died, has been raised from the dead.
21 Ary satria ny olona iray no nisehoan’ ny fahafatesana, dia ny Olona iray kosa no nisehoan’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty.
For since death came by a man, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
22 Fa tahaka ny ahafatesan’ ny olona rehetra ao amin’ i Adama no ahaveloman’ ny olona rehetra kosa ao amin’ i Kristy.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23 Nefa samy amin’ ny filaharany avy: Kristy no santatra; rehefa afaka izany, dia izay an’ i Kristy amin’ ny fihaviany.
But each in his own order: Christ, who is the firstfruits, and then those who belong to Christ will be made alive at his coming.
24 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.
Then will be the end, when Christ will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. This is when he will abolish all rule and all authority and power.
25 Fa tsy maintsy manjaka Izy, mandra-panaony ny fahavalony rehetra ho eo ambanin’ ny tongony.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Ny fahafatesana no fahavalo farany horesena.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
27 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.
For “he has put everything under his feet.” But when it says “he has put everything,” it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to himself.
28 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.
When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who put all things into subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
29 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?
Or else what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they baptized for them?
30 Ary nahoana izahay no manao vy very ny ainay mandrakariva?
Why then, are we in danger every hour?
31 Lazaiko marina, ry rahalahy, amin’ ny fireharehako noho ny aminareo, izay ananako ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika, fa maty isan’ andro aho.
Every day I face death! This is as sure as my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 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.
What do I gain, from a human point of view, if I fought with beasts at Ephesus, if the dead are not raised? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 Aza mety hofitahina ianareo; ny fikambanana amin’ ny ratsy manimba ny fitondran-tena tsara.
Be not deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
34 Mifohaza tsara, ary aza manota; fa ny sasany tsy manana ny fahalalana an’ Andriamanitra; ny hampahamenatra anareo no ilazako izany.
Sober up! Live righteously! Do not keep sinning. For some of you have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35 Fa hisy hanao hoe: Hatao ahoana ary no fanangana ny maty? Ary tena manao ahoana no hisehoany?
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body will they come?”
36 Ry adala, izay afafinao tsy hovelomina, raha tsy maty aloha;
You are so ignorant! What you sow will not start to grow unless it dies.
37 ary izay afafinao, tsy dia ny tenany izay ho avy no afafinao, fa ny voa fotsiny ihany, na voambary, na voa hafa;
What you sow is not the body that will be, but a bare seed. It may become wheat or something else.
38 fa Andriamanitra manome azy tena araka izay sitraky ny fony, ary ny voany rehetra dia samy omeny ny tenany avy.
But God will give it a body as he chooses, and to each seed its own body.
39 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.
Not all flesh is the same. Instead, there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh for animals, and another flesh for birds, and another for fish.
40 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.
There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly body is one kind and the glory of the earthly is another.
41 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.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars. For one star differs from another star in glory.
42 Dia toy izany koa ny fitsanganan’ ny maty: Afafy amin’ ny fahalòvana izy, atsangana amin’ ny tsi-fahalòvana;
So also is the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, and what is raised is imperishable.
43 afafy amin’ ny fahafaham-boninahitra izy, atsangana amin’ ny voninahitra; afafy amin’ ny fahalemena izy, atsangana amin’ ny hery;
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 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.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45 Ary araka izany koa no voasoratra hoe: Adama voalohan-dahy natao manan’ aina; Adama farany natao fanahy mahavelona.
So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 Anefa tsy izay amin’ ny fanahy no voalohany, fa izay amin’ ny manan’ aina, dia vao izay amin’ ny fanahy.
But the spiritual did not come first but the natural, and then the spiritual.
47 Ny olona voalohany avy amin’ ny tany, dia tany; ny olona faharoa dia avy any an-danitra.
The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is from heaven.
48 Izay amin’ ny tany dia tahaka ilay amin’ ny tany; ary izay any an-danitra dia tahaka Ilay any an-danitra.
Just as the one made from dust is, so also are those who are made of the dust, and as the man of heaven is, so also are those who are of heaven.
49 Ary toy ny nitondrantsika ny endriky ny amin’ ny tany no hitondrantsika ny endrik’ ilay any an-danitra koa.
Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.
50 Fa izao no lazaiko, ry rahalahy: Ny nofo aman-drà tsy mahazo mandova ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra, ary ny fahalòvana tsy mandova ny tsi-fahalòvana.
Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither does what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
51 Indro, zava-miafina no ambarako aminareo: tsy hodi-mandry avokoa isika rehetra,
Look! I tell you a secret truth: We will not all die, but we will all be changed.
52 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.
We will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53 Fa ity mety lò ity tsy maintsy hitafy ny tsi-fahalòvana, ary ity mety maty ity tsy maintsy hitafy ny tsi-fahafatesana.
For this perishable body must put on what is imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
54 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.
But when this perishable body has put on what is imperishable, and when this mortal body has put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Fa ny ota no fanindronan’ ny fahafatesana; ary ny lalàna no herin’ ny ota.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 Fa isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Izay manome antsika ny fandresena amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
58 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.
Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always abound in the work of the Lord, because you know that your work in the Lord is not in vain.
