1 karinthinaḥ 15
1 he bhrātaraḥ, yaḥ susaṁvādo mayā yuṣmatsamīpe nivedito yūyañca yaṁ gṛhītavanta āśritavantaśca taṁ puna ryuṣmān vijñāpayāmi|
Now I declare to you, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso yadi vitatho na bhavet tarhi susaṁvādayuktāni mama vākyāni smaratāṁ yuṣmākaṁ tena susaṁvādena paritrāṇaṁ jāyate|
by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 yato'haṁ yad yat jñāpitastadanusārāt yuṣmāsu mukhyāṁ yāṁ śikṣāṁ samārpayaṁ seyaṁ, śāstrānusārāt khrīṣṭo'smākaṁ pāpamocanārthaṁ prāṇān tyaktavān,
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 śmaśāne sthāpitaśca tṛtīyadine śāstrānusārāt punarutthāpitaḥ|
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 sa cāgre kaiphai tataḥ paraṁ dvādaśaśiṣyebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān|
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 tataḥ paraṁ pañcaśatādhikasaṁkhyakebhyo bhrātṛbhyo yugapad darśanaṁ dattavān teṣāṁ kecit mahānidrāṁ gatā bahutarāścādyāpi varttante|
After that he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 tadanantaraṁ yākūbāya tatpaścāt sarvvebhyaḥ preritebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān|
After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 sarvvaśeṣe'kālajātatulyo yo'haṁ, so'hamapi tasya darśanaṁ prāptavān|
and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9 īśvarasya samitiṁ prati daurātmyācaraṇād ahaṁ preritanāma dharttum ayogyastasmāt preritānāṁ madhye kṣudratamaścāsmi|
For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 yādṛśo'smi tādṛśa īśvarasyānugraheṇaivāsmi; aparaṁ māṁ prati tasyānugraho niṣphalo nābhavat, anyebhyaḥ sarvvebhyo mayādhikaḥ śramaḥ kṛtaḥ, kintu sa mayā kṛtastannahi matsahakāriṇeśvarasyānugraheṇaiva|
But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 ataeva mayā bhavet tai rvā bhavet asmābhistādṛśī vārttā ghoṣyate saiva ca yuṣmābhi rviśvāsena gṛhītā|
Whether then it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
12 mṛtyudaśātaḥ khrīṣṭa utthāpita iti vārttā yadi tamadhi ghoṣyate tarhi mṛtalokānām utthiti rnāstīti vāg yuṣmākaṁ madhye kaiścit kutaḥ kathyate?
Now if Messiah is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 mṛtānām utthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi khrīṣṭo'pi notthāpitaḥ
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Messiah been raised.
14 khrīṣṭaśca yadyanutthāpitaḥ syāt tarhyasmākaṁ ghoṣaṇaṁ vitathaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso'pi vitathaḥ|
If Messiah has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
15 vayañceśvarasya mṛṣāsākṣiṇo bhavāmaḥ, yataḥ khrīṣṭa stenotthāpitaḥ iti sākṣyam asmābhirīśvaramadhi dattaṁ kintu mṛtānāmutthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi sa tena notthāpitaḥ|
Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Messiah, whom he did not raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.
16 yato mṛtānāmutthiti ryati na bhavet tarhi khrīṣṭo'pyutthāpitatvaṁ na gataḥ|
For if the dead are not raised, neither has Messiah been raised.
17 khrīṣṭasya yadyanutthāpitaḥ syāt tarhi yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso vitathaḥ, yūyam adyāpi svapāpeṣu magnāstiṣṭhatha|
If Messiah has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18 aparaṁ khrīṣṭāśritā ye mānavā mahānidrāṁ gatāste'pi nāśaṁ gatāḥ|
Then they also who are fallen asleep in Messiah have perished.
19 khrīṣṭo yadi kevalamihaloke 'smākaṁ pratyāśābhūmiḥ syāt tarhi sarvvamartyebhyo vayameva durbhāgyāḥ|
If we have only hoped in Messiah in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 idānīṁ khrīṣṭo mṛtyudaśāta utthāpito mahānidrāgatānāṁ madhye prathamaphalasvarūpo jātaśca|
But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.
21 yato yadvat mānuṣadvārā mṛtyuḥ prādurbhūtastadvat mānuṣadvārā mṛtānāṁ punarutthitirapi pradurbhūtā|
For since death came by a man, the resurrection of the dead also came by a man.
22 ādamā yathā sarvve maraṇādhīnā jātāstathā khrīṣṭena sarvve jīvayiṣyante|
For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all will be made alive.
23 kintvekaikena janena nije nije paryyāya utthātavyaṁ prathamataḥ prathamajātaphalasvarūpena khrīṣṭena, dvitīyatastasyāgamanasamaye khrīṣṭasya lokaiḥ|
But each in his own order: Messiah the first fruits, then those who are Messiah's, at his coming.
24 tataḥ param anto bhaviṣyati tadānīṁ sa sarvvaṁ śāsanam adhipatitvaṁ parākramañca luptvā svapitarīśvare rājatvaṁ samarpayiṣyati|
Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 yataḥ khrīṣṭasya ripavaḥ sarvve yāvat tena svapādayoradho na nipātayiṣyante tāvat tenaiva rājatvaṁ karttavyaṁ|
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 tena vijetavyo yaḥ śeṣaripuḥ sa mṛtyureva|
The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 likhitamāste sarvvāṇi tasya pādayo rvaśīkṛtāni| kintu sarvvāṇyeva tasya vaśīkṛtānītyukte sati sarvvāṇi yena tasya vaśīkṛtāni sa svayaṁ tasya vaśībhūto na jāta iti vyaktaṁ|
For, "He put all things under his feet." But when he says "all things" are put under, it is evident that the one who put all things under is the exception.
28 sarvveṣu tasya vaśībhūteṣu sarvvāṇi yena putrasya vaśīkṛtāni svayaṁ putro'pi tasya vaśībhūto bhaviṣyati tata īśvaraḥ sarvveṣu sarvva eva bhaviṣyati|
When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
29 aparaṁ paretalokānāṁ vinimayena ye majjyante taiḥ kiṁ lapsyate? yeṣāṁ paretalokānām utthitiḥ kenāpi prakāreṇa na bhaviṣyati teṣāṁ vinimayena kuto majjanamapi tairaṅgīkriyate?
Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
30 vayamapi kutaḥ pratidaṇḍaṁ prāṇabhītim aṅgīkurmmahe?
Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 asmatprabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭena yuṣmatto mama yā ślāghāste tasyāḥ śapathaṁ kṛtvā kathayāmi dine dine'haṁ mṛtyuṁ gacchāmi|
I affirm, brothers, by the boasting in you which I have in Messiah Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 iphiṣanagare vanyapaśubhiḥ sārddhaṁ yadi laukikabhāvāt mayā yuddhaṁ kṛtaṁ tarhi tena mama ko lābhaḥ? mṛtānām utthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi, kurmmo bhojanapāne'dya śvastu mṛtyu rbhaviṣyati|
If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
33 ityanena dharmmāt mā bhraṁśadhvaṁ| kusaṁsargeṇa lokānāṁ sadācāro vinaśyati|
Do not be deceived. "Bad company corrupts good morals."
34 yūyaṁ yathocitaṁ sacaitanyāstiṣṭhata, pāpaṁ mā kurudhvaṁ, yato yuṣmākaṁ madhya īśvarīyajñānahīnāḥ ke'pi vidyante yuṣmākaṁ trapāyai mayedaṁ gadyate|
Become sober-minded, and do not sin, for some are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.
35 aparaṁ mṛtalokāḥ katham utthāsyanti? kīdṛśaṁ vā śarīraṁ labdhvā punareṣyantīti vākyaṁ kaścit prakṣyati|
But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?"
36 he ajña tvayā yad bījam upyate tad yadi na mriyeta tarhi na jīvayiṣyate|
You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 yayā mūrttyā nirgantavyaṁ sā tvayā nopyate kintu śuṣkaṁ bījameva; tacca godhūmādīnāṁ kimapi bījaṁ bhavituṁ śaknoti|
That which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
38 īśvareṇeva yathābhilāṣaṁ tasmai mūrtti rdīyate, ekaikasmai bījāya svā svā mūrttireva dīyate|
But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 sarvvāṇi palalāni naikavidhāni santi, manuṣyapaśupakṣimatsyādīnāṁ bhinnarūpāṇi palalāni santi|
All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of humans, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
40 aparaṁ svargīyā mūrttayaḥ pārthivā mūrttayaśca vidyante kintu svargīyānām ekarūpaṁ tejaḥ pārthivānāñca tadanyarūpaṁ tejo'sti|
There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
41 sūryyasya teja ekavidhaṁ candrasya tejastadanyavidhaṁ tārāṇāñca tejo'nyavidhaṁ, tārāṇāṁ madhye'pi tejasastāratamyaṁ vidyate|
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42 tatra likhitamāste yathā, ‘ādipuruṣa ādam jīvatprāṇī babhūva,’ kintvantima ādam (khrīṣṭo) jīvanadāyaka ātmā babhūva|
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
43 yad upyate tat tucchaṁ yaccotthāsyati tad gauravānvitaṁ; yad upyate tannirbbalaṁ yaccotthāsyati tat śaktiyuktaṁ|
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 yat śarīram upyate tat prāṇānāṁ sadma, yacca śarīram utthāsyati tad ātmanaḥ sadma| prāṇasadmasvarūpaṁ śarīraṁ vidyate, ātmasadmasvarūpamapi śarīraṁ vidyate|
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
45 tatra likhitamāste yathā, ādipuruṣa ādam jīvatprāṇī babhūva, kintvantima ādam (khrīṣṭo) jīvanadāyaka ātmā babhūva|
So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 ātmasadma na prathamaṁ kintu prāṇasadmaiva tatpaścād ātmasadma|
However that which is spiritual is not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
47 ādyaḥ puruṣe mṛda utpannatvāt mṛṇmayo dvitīyaśca puruṣaḥ svargād āgataḥ prabhuḥ|
The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is from heaven.
48 mṛṇmayo yādṛśa āsīt mṛṇmayāḥ sarvve tādṛśā bhavanti svargīyaśca yādṛśo'sti svargīyāḥ sarvve tādṛśā bhavanti|
As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 mṛṇmayasya rūpaṁ yadvad asmābhi rdhāritaṁ tadvat svargīyasya rūpamapi dhārayiṣyate|
As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let us also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 he bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmān prati vyāharāmi, īśvarasya rājye raktamāṁsayoradhikāro bhavituṁ na śaknoti, akṣayatve ca kṣayasyādhikāro na bhaviṣyati|
Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 paśyatāhaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ nigūḍhāṁ kathāṁ nivedayāmi|
Look, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 sarvvairasmābhi rmahānidrā na gamiṣyate kintvantimadine tūryyāṁ vāditāyām ekasmin vipale nimiṣaikamadhye sarvvai rūpāntaraṁ gamiṣyate, yatastūrī vādiṣyate, mṛtalokāścākṣayībhūtā utthāsyanti vayañca rūpāntaraṁ gamiṣyāmaḥ|
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
53 yataḥ kṣayaṇīyenaitena śarīreṇākṣayatvaṁ parihitavyaṁ, maraṇādhīnenaitena dehena cāmaratvaṁ parihitavyaṁ|
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 etasmin kṣayaṇīye śarīre 'kṣayatvaṁ gate, etasman maraṇādhīne dehe cāmaratvaṁ gate śāstre likhitaṁ vacanamidaṁ setsyati, yathā, jayena grasyate mṛtyuḥ|
But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."
"Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?" (Hadēs g86)
56 mṛtyoḥ kaṇṭakaṁ pāpameva pāpasya ca balaṁ vyavasthā|
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 īśvaraśca dhanyo bhavatu yataḥ so'smākaṁ prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭenāsmān jayayuktān vidhāpayati|
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
58 ato he mama priyabhrātaraḥ; yūyaṁ susthirā niścalāśca bhavata prabhoḥ sevāyāṁ yuṣmākaṁ pariśramo niṣphalo na bhaviṣyatīti jñātvā prabhoḥ kāryye sadā tatparā bhavata|
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
