¹But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,

¹[Ny amin'ny fitsanganan'ny maty] Ary ampahafantariko anareo, ry rahalahy, ny filazantsara izay notoriko taminareo sy noraisinareo sady iorenanareo,

²by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings,) unless indeed ye have believed in vain.

²izay amonjena anareo koa, raha tananareo tsara araka izay teny notoriko taminareo, raha tsy nino foana ianareo.

³For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;

³Fa natolotro anareo ho isan'ny zavatra voalohany indrindra ilay noraisiko, dia izao: Kristy maty noho ny fahotantsika araka ny Soratra Masina,

⁴and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;

⁴dia nalevina, ary natsangana tamin'ny andro fahatelo araka ny Soratra Masina;

⁵and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

⁵ary niseho tamin'i Kefasy Izy, dia vao tamin'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy koa.

⁶Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.

⁶Rehefa 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.

⁷Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;

⁷Rehefa afaka izany, dia niseho tamin'i Jakoba Izy, dia tamin'ny Apostoly rehetra.

⁸and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to *me* also.

⁸Ary faran'izy rehetra, izaho, izay toy ny tsy tonga volana aza, dia mba nisehoany koa.

⁹For *I* am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.

⁹Fa izaho dia ambany indrindra amin'ny Apostoly ka tsy miendrika hatao hoe Apostoly, satria efa nanenjika ny fiangonan'Andriamanitra aho. [ Gr. eklesia]

¹⁰But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which [was] towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not *I*, but the grace of God which [was] with me.

¹⁰Fa 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.

¹¹Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.

¹¹Koa na izaho na ry zareo, dia araka izany no fitorinay, ary araka izany koa no ninoanareo.

¹²Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among [the] dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead?

¹²Ary raha Kristy no torina fa natsangana tamin'ny maty, ahoana no ilazan'ny sasany eo aminareo fa tsy misy fitsanganan'ny maty?

¹³But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:

¹³Fa raha tsy misy fitsanganan'ny maty, na dia Kristy aza dia tsy natsangana;

¹⁴but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.

¹⁴ary raha tsy natsangana Kristy, dia foana ny toriteninay, ary foana koa ny finoanareo.

¹⁵And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed [those that are] dead are not raised.

¹⁵Ary 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.

¹⁶For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;

¹⁶Fa raha tsy hatsangana ny maty, na dia Kristy koa aza dia tsy natsangana;

¹⁷but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.

¹⁷ary raha tsy natsangana Kristy, dia foana ny finoanareo; ary mbola ao amin'ny fahotanareo ihany ianareo;

¹⁸Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

¹⁸dia very koa izay efa nodimandry ao amin'i Kristy.

¹⁹If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.

¹⁹Raha amin'izao fiainana izao ihany no anantenantsika an'i Kristy, dia mahantra indrindra noho ny olona rehetra isika.

²⁰(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.

²⁰Nefa tsy izany, fa efa natsangana tamin'ny maty tokoa Kristy ho santatr'izay efa nodi-mandry.

²¹For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.

²¹Ary satria ny olona iray no nisehoan'ny fahafatesana, dia ny Olona iray kosa no nisehoan'ny fitsanganan'ny maty.

²²For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.

²²Fa tahaka ny ahafatesan'ny olona rehetra ao amin'i Adama no ahaveloman'ny olona rehetra kosa ao amin'i Kristy.

²³But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.

²³Nefa samy amin'ny filaharany avy: Kristy no santatra; rehefa afaka izany, dia izay an'i Kristy amin'ny fihaviany.

²⁴Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him [who is] God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.

²⁴Ary 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.

²⁵For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.

²⁵Fa tsy maintsy manjaka Izy, mandra-panaony ny fahavalony rehetra ho eo ambanin'ny tongony (Sal. 110. 1).

²⁶[The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.

²⁶Ny fahafatesana no fahavalo farany horesena.

²⁷For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, [it is] evident that [it is] except him who put all things in subjection to him.

²⁷Fa ny zavatra rehetra efa nampanekeny ho eo ambanin'ny tongony (Sal. 8. 6). 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.

²⁸But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

²⁸Ary 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. [ Gr. mba ho zavatra rehetra amin'izy rehetra Andriamanitra]

²⁹Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?

²⁹Raha tsy izany, hanao ahoana izay atao batisa ny amin'ny maty? Raha tsy hatsangana mihitsy ny maty, nahoana ireny no atao batisa ny aminy? [ Na: nisolo]

³⁰Why do *we* also endanger ourselves every hour?

³⁰Ary nahoana izahay no manao vy very ny ainay mandrakariva?

³¹Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

³¹Lazaiko marina, ry rahalahy, amin'ny fireharehako noho ny aminareo, izay ananako ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika, fa maty isan'andro aho. [ Na: Mianiana aho]

³²If, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

³²Raha 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 (Isa. 22. 13). [ Na: inona no soa azoko, raha tsy atsangana ny maty? Aoka isika hihinana]

³³Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

³³Aza mety hofitahina ianareo; ny fikambanana amin'ny ratsy manimba ny fitondran-tena tsara.

³⁴Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.

³⁴Mifohaza tsara, ary aza manota; fa ny sasany tsy manana ny fahalalana an'Andriamanitra; ny hampahamenatra anareo no ilazako izany. [ Na: Mifohaza ho amin'ny fahamarinana]

³⁵But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?

³⁵Fa hisy hanao hoe: Hatao ahoana ary no fanangana ny maty? Ary tena manao ahoana no hisehoany?

³⁶Fool; what *thou* sowest is not quickened unless it die.

³⁶Ry adala, izay afafinao tsy hovelomina, raha tsy maty aloha;

³⁷And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:

³⁷ary izay afafinao, tsy dia ny tenany izay ho avy no afafinao, fa ny voa fotsiny ihany, na voambary, na voa hafa; [ vary tritrika]

³⁸and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.

³⁸fa Andriamanitra manome azy tena araka izay sitraky ny fony, ary ny voany rehetra dia samy omeny ny tenany avy.

³⁹Every flesh [is] not the same flesh, but one [is] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another [flesh] of birds, and another of fishes.

³⁹Tsy 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.

⁴⁰And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:

⁴⁰Ary 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.

⁴¹one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.

⁴¹Hafa 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.

⁴²Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.

⁴²Dia toy izany koa ny fitsanganan'ny maty: Afafy amin'ny fahalòvana izy, atsangana amin'ny tsi-fahalòvana;

⁴³It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

⁴³afafy amin'ny fahafaham-boninahitra izy, atsangana amin'ny voninahitra; afafy amin'ny fahalemena izy, atsangana amin'ny hery;

⁴⁴It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [one].

⁴⁴afafy 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.

⁴⁵Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.

⁴⁵Ary araka izany koa no voasoratra hoe: Adama voalohan-dahy natao manan'aina (Gen. 2. 7); Adama farany natao fanahy mahavelona.

⁴⁶But that which is spiritual [was] not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:

⁴⁶Anefa tsy izay amin'ny fanahy no voalohany, fa izay amin'ny manan'aina, dia vao izay amin'ny fanahy.

⁴⁷the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.

⁴⁷Ny olona voalohany avy amin'ny tany, dia tany; ny olona faharoa dia avy any an-danitra.

⁴⁸Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].

⁴⁸Izay amin'ny tany dia tahaka ilay amin'ny tany; ary izay any an-danitra dia tahaka Ilay any an-danitra.

⁴⁹And as we have borne the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].

⁴⁹Ary toy ny nitondrantsika ny endriky ny amin'ny tany no hitondrantsika ny endrik'ilay any an-danitra koa.

⁵⁰But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.

⁵⁰Fa izao no lazaiko, ry rahalahy: Ny nofo aman-drà tsy mahazo mandova ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra, ary ny fahalòvana tsy mandova ny tsi-fahalòvana.

⁵¹Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,

⁵¹Indro, zava-miafina no ambarako aminareo: tsy hodi-mandry avokoa isika rehetra,

⁵²in an instant, 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.

⁵²fa 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.

⁵³For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.

⁵³Fa ity mety lò ity tsy maintsy hitafy ny tsi-fahalòvana, ary ity mety maty ity tsy maintsy hitafy ny tsi-fahafatesana.

⁵⁴But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.

⁵⁴Fa 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 (Isa. 25. 8). [ Gr. voatelina ka resy]

⁵⁵Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory?

⁵⁵Ry fahafatesana ô, aiza ny fandresenao? Ry fahafatesana ô, aiza ny fanindronanao? (Hos. 13. 14).

⁵⁶Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;

⁵⁶Fa ny ota no fanindronan'ny fahafatesana; ary ny lalàna no herin'ny ota.

⁵⁷but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁷Fa isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Izay manome antsika ny fandresena amin'ny alalan'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.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.

⁵⁸So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in [the] Lord.

⁵⁸Koa 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.
