1 Kolinitō 15
1 Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻaia naʻaku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia foki kuo mou maʻu, pea ʻoku mou tuʻu ai;
But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel that I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
2 ʻAia kuo fakamoʻui ai ʻakimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻoku mou manatuʻi ʻaia ne u malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau naʻe ʻikai te mou tui noa pē.
by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3 He ko e ʻuluaki ʻoe meʻa naʻaku ʻaʻau atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻaku maʻu foki, Ko e pekia ʻa Kalaisi ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tohi;
For I delivered to you among the first things, that which I also received: That Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 Pea naʻe fai ia, pea naʻe toetuʻu hake ia ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tohi:
and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures;
5 Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻa Kifasi, pea mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua:
and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve;
6 Hili ia, pea mamata fakataha kiate ia ʻae kāinga ʻe toko nimangeau tupu; pea ʻoku kei moʻui honau tokolahi, ka kuo tō ʻo mohe ʻae niʻihi.
after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till this day; but some have fallen asleep.
7 Hili ia, naʻe mamata ʻa Semisi kiate ia, pea hoko mo e kau ʻaposetolo kotoa pē.
After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
8 Pea ne u mamata fakamui foki ʻeau kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e fānau taʻehoko.
Last of all, he was seen by me also, as one untimely born.
9 He ko e siʻi taha pe au ʻi he kau ʻaposetolo, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke ui au ko e ʻaposetolo, koeʻuhi naʻaku fakatanga ʻae siasi ʻoe ʻOtua.
For I am the least of the apostles, and I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ou pehē ni ai au: pea ko ʻene ʻofa kiate au, naʻe ʻikai taʻeʻaonga ia; ka naʻaku ngāue lahi hake ʻaupito kiate kinautolu kotoa pē: ka naʻe ʻikai ko au, ka ko e tokoni mei he ʻOtua naʻe ʻiate au.
But, by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace, which was bestowed on me, has not been bestowed in vain: but I have labored more abundantly than they all; not I, however, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Pea ko ia kapau ko au, pe ko kinautolu, ka ʻoku pehē pe ʻemau malanga, pea pehē pe hoʻomou tui.
Whether, therefore, I or they, so we preached, and so you believed.
12 Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi mo ʻene toetuʻu mei he pekia, ʻoku fēfē ʻae pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu ʻoe mate?
But if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that a resurrection of the dead is impossible?
13 He kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu mei he mate, pea tā ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi:
But if a resurrection of the dead is impossible, Christ has not been raised.
14 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻemau malanga, pea taʻeʻaonga mo hoʻomou tui foki.
And if Christ has not been raised, then vain is our preaching, and vain also your faith.
15 ʻIo, pea kuo ʻilo ʻakimautolu ko e fakamoʻoni loi ki he ʻOtua; he kuo mau fakapapau mei he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene fokotuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi: ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne fokotuʻu hake, ʻo kapau ko eni ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻae mate.
We are, indeed, also found false witnesses of God; for we have testified against God, that he raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if, indeed, the dead are not raised.
16 He kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻae mate pea kuo ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi:
For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised;
17 Pea kapau kuo ʻikai tuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga hoʻomou tui; ʻoku mou kei ʻi hoʻomou angahala.
and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.
18 Pea ko kinautolu foki kuo mohe ʻia Kalaisi, kuo nau ʻauha.
Then, also, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Kapau ʻoku ngata ki he moʻui ni ʻetau ʻamanaki lelei ki ai, ko e malaʻia lahi taha pe ʻakitautolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.
20 Ka ko eni, kuo toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, pea kuo hoko ia ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻokinautolu naʻe mohe.
But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept.
21 He ko e meʻa ʻi he tangata naʻe hoko ai ʻae mate, pea ʻe hoko ʻi he tangata foki ʻae toetuʻu ʻoe mate.
For, since through man came death, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead.
22 He ʻoku hangē ʻoku mate kotoa pē ʻia ʻAtama, ʻe pehē foki ʻe moʻui kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi.
For, as in Adam all die, so, also, in Christ shall all be made alive:
23 Ka ko e tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻi hono lakanga: ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻa Kalaisi; pea hoko mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻo Kalaisi, ʻi heʻene haʻu.
but each in his own order; Christ the first-fruit, afterward, those who are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Pea ʻe toki hoko ʻae ikuʻanga, ʻaia te ne ʻatu ai ʻae puleʻanga ki he ʻOtua, ʻio, ko e Tamai; hili ʻene ikuna ʻae pule kotoa pē, mo e fekau kotoa pe, mo e mālohi.
Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down every principality and authority and power:
25 He kuo pau pe ke pule ia, kaeʻoua ke ne tuku ʻa hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe.
for he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 Ko e fili fakamui ʻe fakaʻauha, ko e mate.
The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed.
27 “He kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe.” Ka ʻi heʻene pehē, kuo fakamoʻulaloa ʻae “ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē,” ʻoku ʻilongofua pe ʻoku ʻataʻatā ia, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki lalo ʻiate ia.
For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.
28 Pea ka ʻosi hono fakavaivai ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia, ʻe toki anganofo ʻae Foha kiate ia naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki lalo ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi ke tāfataha pe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
And when all things shall have been put under him, then, also, shall the Son himself be subjected to him that did put all things under him, that God may be the all in all.
29 Kae ʻikai, pea ko e hā ʻe fai ʻekinautolu kuo papitaiso ki he mate, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toetuʻu ʻae mate? Ko e hā ʻoku papitaiso ai ʻakinautolu ki he mate?
For else, what shall those do, who are immersed for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why, then, are they immersed for the dead?
30 Pea ko e hā ʻoku tau tuʻutuʻutāmaki ai ʻi he feituʻulaʻā kotoa pē?
And why are we in danger every hour?
31 ʻOku ou fakahā ʻi hoʻomou fiefia ʻaia ʻoku ou maʻu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻoku ou mate ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
I protest, by the joy which I have over you in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 He kapau, ʻo hangē ko e [lea ʻae ]tangata, kuo u tau mo e fanga manu ʻi ʻEfesō, ko e hā hono ʻaonga kiate au, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻae mate? “Ke tau kai mo inu; he te tau mate ʻapongipongi.”
If, to speak as a man, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
33 ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: “Ko e ngaahi talanoa kovi ʻoku fakahalaʻi ʻae ngaahi anga ʻoku lelei.”
Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 ʻA hake ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoua naʻa fai angahala; he ʻoku teʻeki maʻu ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ia ko hoʻomou fakamā.
Awake, as you should, to soberness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
35 Ka ʻe pehē nai ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻE fēfē hono fokotuʻu ʻoe mate? Pea ʻi he sino fē te nau haʻu?”
But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Ko e vale koe, ko ia ʻoku ke tūtuuʻi ʻoku ʻikai fakaake ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke mate:
Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die;
37 Pea ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ke tūtuuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi ʻae sino ko ia ʻe tupu, ka ko e foʻi tenga ko ha foʻi tenga kehe:
and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 Ka ʻoku foaki ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua hono sino, ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe ia, pea ki he tenga taki taha hono sino ʻoʻona.
but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body.
39 ʻOku ʻikai ko e kakano tatau pe ʻae kakano kotoa pē: he ʻoku ai ʻae kakano ko e taha ʻoe tangata, ko e kakano ʻe taha ʻoe fanga manu, ko e taha kehe ʻoe ngaahi ika, mo e taha kehe ʻoe fanga manupuna.
All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 Pea ʻoku ai foki ʻae ngaahi sino fakalangi, mo e ngaahi sino fakamaama: ka ʻoku taha pe ʻae nāunau ʻoe fakalangi, pea ko e fakamaama ʻoku taha kehe ia.
There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial is another.
41 He ʻoku ai ʻae nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe laʻā, mo e nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe māhina, mo e nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu: he ʻoku fai kehekehe ʻi he nāunau ʻae fetuʻu ʻe taha ki he fetuʻu ʻe taha.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻae toetuʻu ʻae mate. ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he ʻauʻauha: ʻoku fokotuʻu hake ia ʻi he taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha:
So, also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:
43 ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he fakalielia; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia mo e nāunau: ʻoku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he vaivai; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia ʻi he mālohi:
it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power:
44 ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia koe sino fakakakano; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia koe sino fakalaumālie. ʻOku ai ʻae sino fakakakano, pea ʻoku ai mo e sino fakalaumālie.
it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 Pea kuo tohi ʻo pehē, “Ko e ʻuluaki tangata ko ʻAtama naʻe ngaohi ia ko e laumālie moʻui;” ko e ʻAtama fakamui ko e laumālie fakamoʻui.
So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
46 Ka naʻe ʻikai muʻomuʻa ʻaia ʻoku laumālie ka ko ia ʻoku fakakakano; kae toki hoko ʻaia ʻoku fakalaumālie.
But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 Ko e ʻuluaki tangata, ʻoku mei he kelekele, ʻoku kelekeleʻia: ko hono ua ʻoe tangata, ko e ʻEiki mei he langi.
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven.
48 Hangē ko e kelekeleʻia, ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kelekeleʻia: pea hangē ko ia ʻoku mei he langi, ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakalangi.
As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be.
49 Pea hangē ko e tau ʻi he tatau ʻo ia ʻoku mei he langi.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Pea ʻoku ou tala eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻe ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he kakano mo e toto ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he ʻauʻauha ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha.
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Vakai, ʻoku ou fakahā ha meʻa fufū kiate kimoutolu; ʻE ʻikai te tau mohe kotoa pē, ka te tau liliu kotoa pē,
Behold, I declare to you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
52 ʻI he fakafokifā ʻi he kemo ʻoe mata, ʻi he pā fakamui ʻoe meʻa lea: koeʻuhi ʻe pā mai ia, pea ʻe fokotuʻu hake ai ʻae mate, ʻo taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, pea ʻe liliu ai ʻakitautolu.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 He kuo pau ke ʻai ʻe he ʻauʻauha ni, ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, pea ke ai ʻe he mate ni ʻae taʻemate
For this corruptible body must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal body must put on immortality.
54 Ko ia, pea ka ʻosi hono ai ʻe he ʻauʻauha ni ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, mo e ʻai ʻe he mate ni ʻae taʻemate, ʻe toki fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kuo tohi, “Kuo folo hifo ʻae mate ʻe he mālohi.”
And when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
O Death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Ko e huhu ʻoe mate ko e angahala; pea ko e mālohi ʻoe angahala ko e fono.
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 Kae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ke tau mālohi ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ke tupulekina maʻuaipē ʻi he ngāue ʻae ʻEiki, he ʻoku mou ʻilo ko hoʻomou ngāue ʻi he ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai taʻeʻaonga ia.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; for you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
