¹Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also 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 you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you 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 first of all that which I also 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,

⁴that he was buried, that he was raised on 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 over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also 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 the child born at the wrong time, 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 is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I 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 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.

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 then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you 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 has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the 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 no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²²For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will 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 order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are 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 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.

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 has put all his enemies under his feet.

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

²⁶The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

²⁶Ny fahafatesana no fahavalo farany horesena.

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.

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.

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.

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]

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?

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 stand in jeopardy every hour?

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

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

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 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

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]

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

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

³⁴Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your 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 someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

⁴³It is sown in dishonor; 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. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

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.

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

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

⁴⁶However that which is spiritual isn’t 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 is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

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

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.

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 put on incorruption, and this mortal must 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 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

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]

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

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

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

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

⁵⁷But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through 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.

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.

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.
