¹Huan, unaute aw, Tanchin Hoih ka honhilh jaw ka honthei sak nawn ding a; huai Tanchin Hoih na nakipahpih ua, huaimah ah na ding ua;

¹Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,

²Kon thu hilh pen na mawk gintak uh a hih louha, pom kichian na hih uleh huai mahah hotdam lelin na om uhi.

²by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

³A masapenin ken ka muh sam tuh nou kon hilh sawna; huchia, Kris Laisiangthou bangbanga i khelhnate jiaka a siha,

³For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

⁴A vui ua, Laisiangthou bangbanga ni thum nia kaihthoha a oma,

⁴that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

⁵Kifa kianga a hongkilaka, huai khita sawm leh nihte kianga a kilak thute.

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

⁶Huai khitin unau za nga sanga tam kiangah a kilak nawna, huaite laka mi, a tam jaw tutanin leng a dam lai ua, khenkhat bel a ihmuta uhi.

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

⁷Huai khitin Jakob kiangah a kilak nawna; huai khitin sawltak tengteng kiangah.

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

⁸Huan, a tawppenah, a hunlou banga piang, keimah kiangah leng a kilaka.

⁸and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

⁹Kei jaw sawltak laka neupen, Pathian saptuamte ka sawi jiaka sawltaka chihtuak louh ka hi ngala.

⁹For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

¹⁰Himahleh, Pathian hehpihna jiakin ka hihhih ka hita; huan, a hehpihna honpiak a thawnin a om keia, huchih naksangin, amau tengteng sangin ka sem gim jaw ahi; himahleh keimah kian ka sem keia, Pathian hehpihna ka kianga omin a sem jaw hi.

¹⁰But 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.

¹¹Abang abang hitaleh, ken leng, amau leng, huchiin ka gen jel ua, huchiin nou leng na gingta uhi.

¹¹Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

¹²Huan, Kris thu misi laka kipan kaihthohin a om chih a honhilh ngal uleh, bangchidan ahia na lak ua khenkhatin, Misi thohnawnna himhim a om kei, na chih uh?

¹²Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

¹³Misi thohnawnna himhim a omlou ahihleh, huai Kris leng kaihthohin a om kei ding hi.

¹³But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

¹⁴Huan huai Kris kaihthoha a om kei leh, i thugen uh bangmah lou ahi dinga, na gin uleng bangmah lou ahi ding hi.

¹⁴If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

¹⁵Ahi, Kris a kaithou chih Pathian i theihpih jiakin, Pathian lam thu ah theihpih juauthei leng i honghi ding hi, misite kaihthoha a om kei uleh, amah leng a kaithou kei dinga.

¹⁵Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

¹⁶Misite kaithoha a om kei un jaw, Kris leng kaihthohin a omta kei ding.

¹⁶For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.

¹⁷Huan, Kris kaihthoha a om kei leh, na gin uh bangmah lou ahi dinga, na khelhna uah na om ni louhlouh uh ahi ding.

¹⁷If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

¹⁸Huai ahihleh, Krisa ihmu sate a mangthangte uh ahi ding hi.

¹⁸Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

¹⁹Tu damsung kiaa Kris tunga lametna i neih injaw mi tengteng dia mi hehpihhuai pen i hi ding hi.

¹⁹If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

²⁰Himahleh, Kris misi laka kipan kaihthohin a om taktak ahi, ihmute laka kipan gahmasa a na hita hi.

²⁰But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

²¹Mi khat jiaka sihna a hongom jiakin mi khat jiak mahin misi thohnawnna leng a hongomta ahi.

²¹For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

²²Adam ah mi tengteng a si mahbang un, Kris ah mi tengteng hihhinin leng a om ding uhi.

²²For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

²³Himahleh, amau hun chiat jel ah: Kris tuh gah masapente ahia; huai khit chiangin a hongpainawnna ah Kris ate.

²³But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming.

²⁴Huai khit chiangin a tawp a hongtung ding; huai hun chiangin, vaihawmna tengteng leh, thuneihna leh thilhihtheihna tengteng a hihman nungin, Pathian kiangah, Pa kiang ngeingei ah gam tuh a pe ding hi.

²⁴Then 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.

²⁵A melmate tengteng a khe nuaia a koih masiah aman vaihawm ding ahi ngala.

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

²⁶Melma nanungpen a hihmanga om ding tuh sihna ahi.

²⁶The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

²⁷Aman a khe nuaiah bangkim a koih ngala, himahleh, A nuaiah bangkim koihin a om, a chihin, a nuaia bangkim koihpa a pang kha kei chih a kimugige ahi.

²⁷For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” Psalm 8:6 But when he says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

²⁸Huan, a nuaia bangkim koiha a om hun chiangin, Tapa mahmah leng a nuaia koihin a om dinga, Pathian tuh bangkima bangkim a hih theihna dingin

²⁸When 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.

²⁹Huchi bang ahih kei in, misite adinga baptisma a tansak uh bang a chihna uh hi ding ahia? Misite kaihthoha a om louh hial ding uleh, bang achia amau adia baptisma tansak uh ahia?

²⁹Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?

³⁰Bangjiakin ahia, kei leng dak kal chiha lauthawnghuaia ka om?

³⁰Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?

³¹Unaute aw, Kris Jesu i Toupaa ka honsuanna sialin, Ni tengin ka si, ka chi ahi.

³¹I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

³²Mihing danin gen leng, Ephesa khua a gam sate kilaipih ka hih leh, kei din bang a phatuam ding? Misi kaihthoha a om kei ding uleh nein dawn leng ake, jingchianga si ding hi ve hangin.

³²If 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.” Isaiah 22:13

³³Khemin om kei un; Lawm gilouten omdan hoih a hihgawp nak uhi.

³³Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

³⁴Kizentakin halh unla, thil hihkhial kei un; khenkhatin Pa Pathian theihna himhim na neikei uh; huai tuh na zumna ding ua ka gen ahi.

³⁴Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

³⁵Himahleh, kuahiamkhatin, Misi bangchin kaihthoh ahi ding uh? Pumpi bangchi bang puin ahia a hongsuah ding? a chi ahi ding e.

³⁵But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”

³⁶Nang mi hai, nangmah mahin na tuh leng, a sih phot keileh hihhinin a om sama.

³⁶You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.

³⁷Huan, chi na tuhin a pumpi hongom ding pen ahi keia, a tang lel na tuh zo nak, buh tang hiam, chi dang tang hiam ahi thei hi.

³⁷That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.

³⁸Himahleh, Pathianin amah deih bangbangin pumpi a pia hi, a tang chih kiangah amah pumpi chiat.

³⁸But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

³⁹Sa tengteng sa chi khat ahi kei ua; mihing sa a tuama, gamsa sa a tuama, vasa sa a tuama, ngasa sa a tuam ahi.

³⁹All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

⁴⁰Vanlam pumpite leng a oma, leilam pumpite leng a om, himahleh vanlam pumpite thupina a tuama, leilam pumpite thupina a tuam,

⁴⁰There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

⁴¹Ni thupina a tuam, kha thupina a tuama, aksite thupina a tuam; aksi leh aksi leng a thupina uh a tuam ngala.

⁴¹There 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.

⁴²Misite thohnawnna leng tuabang ahi. Muattheia tuhin a oma, muattheiloua kaihthohin a om.

⁴²So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.

⁴³Pahtawilouha tuhin a oma, thupitaka kaihthohin a om. Hatloua tuhin a oma, thilhihtheihna neia kaihthohin a om.

⁴³It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

⁴⁴Salam pumpi-a tuhin a oma, khalam pumi-a kaihthohin a om. Salam pumpi a om leh khalam pumpi leng a om.

⁴⁴It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

⁴⁵Huchiin, Mi masapen Adam tuh mihing a honghia, chi-a gelh ahi; Adam nanungpen bel hinna pepa kha a honghi a.

⁴⁵So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7 The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

⁴⁶Himahleh, khalam a om masa keia, sa lam a om jaw; huai zohin khalam pen a om hi.

⁴⁶However that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

⁴⁷Mihing masapen leia siam, leimi ahia; mihing nihna pen vanmi ahi.

⁴⁷The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

⁴⁸Leia siam mihing bang tuh, leia te leng ahi ua; vana mi bang tuh, vanate leng ahi uhi.

⁴⁸As 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.

⁴⁹Huan, leia siam batna pen i put bangin, vana batna pen leng i pu sam ding uhi.

⁴⁹As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s NU, TR read “we will” instead of “let’s” also bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰Unaute aw, sa leh sisanin Pathian gam a luah theikei dinga; muat theiin muat theilou a luah sam kei ding, chih, ka gen ahi.

⁵⁰Now I say this, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” that flesh and blood can’t inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

⁵¹Ngai un, thuguk ka honhilh ding hi: i vek un i ihmu khol kei dinga, himahleh i vek un pengkul nanungpen gin chiangin, sawtlou kalin,

⁵¹Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

⁵²Mitphiat kal louin, hihlamdangin i om vekta ding; pengkul ging ding ahi ngala, huchiin, misite tuh muat theiloua kaihthohin a om ding ua, eite leng hihlamdanin i om ta ding hi.

⁵²in 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.

⁵³Hiai muat theiin muat theihlouhna a silh ding ahi a, hiai sitheiin leng sihtheihlouhna a silh sam ding ahi.

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

⁵⁴Huchia, hiai muattheiin muatheihlouhna a silha, hiai sithein sihtheihlouhna a silh hun chiangin, huai hun ngeingeiin, zohnain sihnaa valh zouta, chih thugelh a hong tung ding.

⁵⁴But 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.” Isaiah 25:8

⁵⁵Aw sihna, na zohna koia omta ahia? Aw sihna na gu koia omta ahia?

⁵⁵“Death, where is your sting? Hades or, Hell , where is your victory?” Hosea 13:14

⁵⁶Sihna gu tuh khelhna ahia; khelhna thilhihtheihna tuh dan ahi.

⁵⁶The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

⁵⁷Himahleh, i Toupa Jesu Kris jiaka zohna honpepa Pathian kiangah kipahthu om hen.Huaijiakin, ka unau deihtakte aw, kip takin, hihlin vuallouhin, Toupa nasep phatuam ngai taka sem gigein om un, na sepgimna uh Toupa ah a thawn ngei kei chih na thei ngal ua.

⁵⁷But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁸Huaijiakin, ka unau deihtakte aw, kip takin, hihlin vuallouhin, Toupa nasep phatuam ngai taka sem gigein om un, na sepgimna uh Toupa ah a thawn ngei kei chih na thei ngal ua.

⁵⁸Therefore, 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.
