1 Korintuh 15

1 Ka püie aw, Thangkdaw ka ning jah mtheh ning jah ksingsak be veng, acuna Thangkdaw dokham u lü, nami jumnak acuna khana angkhänga ngdüiki.

And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood,

2 Ka ngthu sang cän nami jum sawxatkia am kya lü, nami läklam kcangkia akyak üng, acun bä üng küikyana nami kyaki.

through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,

3 Ka yah nami veia ka ning jah peki, acun cun sayü lü däm säihki ni, Khritaw cun mi mkhyekata phäh thiki tia Cangcim üng ng’yuki,

for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,

4 ani cun ami k’ut, amhnüp kthum üng tho law beki tia Cangcim üng ng’yuki ni.

and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings,

5 Pita veia ngdang law lü, acun käna xaleinghngihea veia ngdangki.

and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,

6 Acun käna bena, phyamhmaa kthaka nungki veia ngdang lawki, khawhah cun tuhkbäih veia xüng hamkie, avange cun thi pängkie ni.

afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep;

7 Acun käna Jakuka veia ngdangki, acun käna ngsä he naküta veia ngdangki.

afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8 Ak’hnu säiha, keia vei pi ngdang lawki, kei cun am kha se hmi lawkia mäih ni ka law ta.

And last of all — as to the untimely birth — he appeared also to me,

9 Kei cun ngsä he ksunga ka dik säihki, Pamhnama sangcime ka jah mkhuimkhakia kyase, ngsäa pi am ka nglawi kyawki va.

for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,

10 Cunsepi, Pamhnama bäkhäknak am ahikba ka kyaki; a bäkhäknak amdanga a na pet cun ni, ngsä kcea kthaka ktha na bawk lü ka khüikhawmki. Acukba ka kthanak bawk cun kamäta kthanaka am kya, Pamhnama bäkhäknak naw kei üng khut pawhki.

and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] with me;

11 Acukba ani üng, keia khyüh kyase, amimia khyüh pi kyase, ahin kung kami pyenki, nangmi naw pi ahin kung nami jumki.

whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe.

12 Atuha kami ngthu cun Khritaw thihnak üngkhyüh thobeki tia kyase, ise nangmi üng avange naw, “Khyang kthia thawhnak be am ve,” nami tiki ni?

And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?

13 Khyang kthia thawhnak be am a ve üng Khritaw pi am tho law be khai sü;

and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen;

14 acunüng, Khritaw tho law bekia am akyak üng kami ngthu sang amdanga kya lü nami jumnak pi amdanga kya khai ni.

and if Christ hath not risen, then void [is] our preaching, and void also your faith,

15 Acunüng, Pamhnam hleikia mi mdankia ni akya, isetiakyaküng, Khritaw cun Pamhnam naw mtho beki mi tia phäh ni, ahin akcang ta thikie sak xünnaka am tho be u. Pamhnam naw pi Khritaw am mtho be.

and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

16 Khyang kthie, am ami thawh law be üng Khritaw pi am tho law be;

for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen,

17 acunüng, Khritaw am a thawh law be ham üng nami jumnak pi amdanga kya lü nami mkhyekatnak üng khyük lü nami thi hamkie ni.

and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;

18 Acukba akyak üng Khritaw üng thi pängkiea jumeikie pi khyük khaie ni.

then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish;

19 Tuhkbäih mi xün k'um däk üng Khritawa khana äpeinak mi ta lü akcea saka phäh am akyak üng khawmdeka veki khyange kthaka jah mpyeneinak yahei bawk khaia mi nglawiki.

if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we are most to be pitied.

20 Acunsepi, Khritaw cun thihnak üngka naw tho law be kcang lü, ipkie pi tholaw be khaie tia msingnak ni.

And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead — the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,

21 Nghngicim khyanga phäha thihnak a ve lawa mäiha, nghngicim khyanga phäh kunga khyang kthia thawh lawnak be ve lawki.

for since through man [is] the death, also through man [is] a rising again of the dead,

22 Adam üng khyang naküt ami thiha kba Khritaw üng khyang naküt tho be khai.

for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

23 Acunsepi, khyang mat cim ami kcün üng tho khaie; Khritaw cun akcüka tho be khai. Acun käna Khritawa law be üng ani taki tho law be khaie.

and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,

24 Acun käna apäihnak pha law khai; Khritaw naw ngmüimkhya upkie, anae, johite naküt a jah näng lawpäng üng Khritaw naw khyawngpe cun Pamhnam üng ap law khai.

then — the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power —

25 A yee naküt a khaw kunga am a jah tak hama küt üng, Khritaw naw jah up yah kung khai.

for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet —

26 Ak’hnu säiha ye näng vai cun thihnak kyaki.

the last enemy is done away — death;

27 “Pamhnam naw avan ania khaw kea tak khai,” tia Cangcim naw pyenki. “Avan naküt tak khai” tinak üng Pamhnam amät am ngpüi, Khritawa khaw kea avan takia Pamhnam a ngpüi.

for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,

28 Acunüng, avan naküt Khritawa upnaka kea taka akya lawpäng üng, Cakpa amät kung Pamhnama kea ve khai acuna Pamhnam naw avan ania kea taki cun naw avan up khai.

and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.

29 Atuh, khyang kthia thawhnak be am a ve üng, i ja amimi naw yah vai ami äpei. Khyang kthia phäha baptican khankie ihawkba kya khaie. Thikiea phäha ivai baptican khankie ni.

Seeing what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why also are they baptized for the dead?

30 Ise mimi pi anglät se kyühkse da akcün tä mi dawngki ni?

why also do we stand in peril every hour?

31 Ka püie, amhnüp tä thihnak ka sawngki! Khritaw Jesuh mi Bawipa üng ka ning jah awhcahnak pyen lü, “Kei, a mhnüp tä se ka thiki” ka ti ni.

Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord:

32 Nghngicima ngjakhlüa mäih düta Ephet mlüh üng “Sa kyung he” ka jah ngtunpüi vai sü üng i ka ngmang na khai ni? Khyang kthiea thawhnak be am ve khaia akyak üng, “Mi ei lü mi aw be vai u, khawngawi mi thi täng khai” mi ti hlü ye se.

if after the manner of a man with wild beasts I fought in Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die!

33 Käh yu ua. Am dawkia püipaw naw vecawh kpyaki.

Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;

34 Ngsunpyunnak üng law be u lü, mkhyekatnak hawih ua. Avang naw Pamhnam am ami ksing hin na ngkeei vaia kei naw pyen veng.

awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say [it].

35 Mat mat naw, “Khyang kthie cun ihawkba tholaw be khaie ni? Ia mäia pumsa na khaie ni?” ti lü ngthäh khai.

But some one will say, 'How do the dead rise?

36 Nang khyang k’ang, namät naw na sawa mci cun am a thih üng am cawt law be;

unwise! thou — what thou dost sow is not quickened except it may die;

37 Acunüng, na saw cän pumsaa ve khaia am na saw khawiki, a mci va na saw khawiki, cang mcia pi kyase mci kcea pi kyase mci däk va na sawki. Adäm pänga apung am nglingki. Akäna va däm law khai.

and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some one of the others,

38 Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw a mäta ngjakhlüa pumsa jah peki, mci naküta veia ami mäta pumsa phäh phäh jah peki.

and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper body.

39 Pumsa naküt am täng; nghngicima pumsa mjü at, khisa pumsa mjü at, khaa pumsa mjü at, ngaa pumsa mjü ata kyaki.

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;

40 Khankhaw pumsae ve u lü, khawmdek pumsae pi vekie; acunsepi khankhaw pumsaa hlüngtainak hnga lü, khawmdek pumsaa hlüngtainak pi hngaki.

and [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;

41 Nghngia hlüngtainak akce, khyaa hlüngtainak akce, aisiea hlüngtainak akce; aisi jah aisi pi ani hlüngtainak am täng ni.

one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star from star doth differ in glory.

42 Khyang kthia thawhnak be pi acukba kyaki. Yawk k’uh üng thu lü, a thawh law be üng am thi thei.

So also [is] the rising again of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;

43 K’ut üng am daw lü seki, mthawh be üng ngto lü daw khai.

it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

44 K’ut üng mtisa pumsaa kya lü; mthawh be üng ngmüimkya pumsaa kya khai. Khawmdek pumsa vekia kyase Ngmüimkhya pumsa pi ve khai.

it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;

45 Cangcim naw, “Nghngicim kcük Adam cun khyang xünga mhnünmcenga kyaki”; a tia kyase, Adam anghnu cun xünnak Ngmüimkhya jah peki kyaki.

so also it hath been written, 'The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,

46 Ngmüimkhya lam cun ve law makia am kya, pumsa lam ve law ma lü acun käna Ngmüimkhya lam ve lawki.

but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterwards that which [is] spiritual.

47 Nghngicim akcük cun khawmdek üngkhyüh mhnünmcenga kya lü; anghngihnaka nghngicim cun khankhawa kaa kyaki.

The first man [is] out of the earth, earthy; the second man [is] the Lord out of heaven;

48 Khawmdek üng mhnünmcenga khyange cun khawmdek khyangea mäih law u se; khankhaw üngka khyange cun khankhaw üngka naw lawki hea mäih lawki he.

as [is] the earthy, such [are] also the earthy; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;

49 Acunüng, khawmdek üng mhnünmceng khyanga müia mäih mi müinaka mäiha, khankhaw khyanga müihmai pi mi müihmai na khai.

and, according as we did bear the image of the earthy, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly.

50 Ka püie aw, pumsa jah thisen Pamhnama pea am ve thei; thi theiki naw am thi theiki cun am yah tia ning jah mtheh veng.

And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption;

51 Ngthupki ning jah mtheh vang; mi van mi ip khaia am kya.

lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed;

52 Acunsepi, ak’hnu säiha kpun a ng'yüng law üng, asängca üng, mik mkhyüpca üng, mi van mi hngalangei law khai. Kpun a ng'yüng law üng thi pängkie cun am pyawih theikia tho law be u se; mimi, mi na vekie pi mi hngalang law khai.

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we — we shall be changed:

53 Tuhkbäih hina pyawih theiki am pyawih theikia nglat law lü, tuhkbäih hina thi theiki käh thi theikia nglat law khai.

for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;

54 Hina thi theiki hin am thi theikia a nglat law üng, “Thihnak cun mkhyüh lü nängnak cun küm law khai” tia Cangcim cun küm law khai.

and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, 'The Death was swallowed up — to victory;

55 “Thihnak aw, na ngnängnak, hawa ni a ve. Aw thihnak aw, na jah kphyaknak vai johit hawa ni a ve?” (Hadēs g86)

where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?' (Hadēs g86)

56 Thihnaka naw johit cun mkhyekatnak üngkhyüh yahki; mkhyekatnaka khyaihnak cun thuma kyaki.

and the sting of the death [is] the sin, and the power of the sin the law;

57 Acunsepi, mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw üng ngnängnak jah pekia Pamhnama veia jenak ve se.

and to God — thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

58 Acunakyase, ka mhläkphyanaka ka püie aw, khängkia ngdüi ua. Bawipa khutbi ktha na kcang u lü bi ua, Bawipa khutbi nami bi hin am danga am kya tia nami ksingki.

so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.
