Augšamceļšonōs nu myrūnim.
1 Brōli, es jums atgōdynōju tikai tū Evangeliju, kū es jums sludynōju. Tai kai jyus tū asot pījāmuši, tad pastōvit jymā drūši 2 un rūnit tur sev pesteišonu. Turitēs pi jō tik cīši, kai es jums sludynōju; cytaidi jyus veļteigi byutu pījāmuši ticeibu.
3-4 Vyspyrms es jyusus mōceju tū, kū pats sajēmu, ka Kristus saskaņā ar Rokstim par myusu grākim ir nūmiris, paglobōts, un saskaņā ar Rokstim trešajā dīnā pīsacēlīs augšam, 5 un pasarōdejis Kefam (‐Pīteram), pēc tam tim divpadsmit. 6 Tōlōk Jys pasarōdeja reizē vairōk kai pīcim simtim brōļu, nu kurim vairōkums vēļ šudin dzeivoj un tikai daži ir aizmyguši. 7 Tad jys pasarōdeja Jākubam, pēc tam arī vysim apostolim. 8 Pēdeigi Jys pasarōdeja arī man, kai kaidam nalaikā dzymušajam. 9 Jo es asmu storp apostolim tys mozōkais, pat nacīneigs par apostolu sauktīs, jo es vojōju Dīva bazneicu. 10 Bet caur Dīva žēlesteibu es asmu tys, kas asmu, un Jō žēlesteiba manī nabeja bez panōkumim. Es strōdōju vairōk, na kai vysi citi, (tys ir), na es, bet gon ar mani Dīva žēlesteiba. 11 Kai es, tai arī cyti sludynoj, un caur tū jyus asot īticējuši.
12 Un jo teik sludynōts, ka Kristus nu myrūnim ir pīsacēlīs, kai tad daži nu jums var apgolvōt, ka augšamceļšonōs nu myrūnim naasūt? 13 Jo augšamceļšonōs nu myrūnim nabyutu, tad arī Kristus nav augšamcēlīs. 14 Bet jo Kristus nu myrūnim nav augšamcēlīs, tad veļteiga ir myusu sludynōšona un tukša ir jyusu ticeiba. 15 Tad mes byutu uzskotami kai vyltus līcinīki Dīvam, jo mes pret Dīvu līcynōtu, ka Jys Kristu ir pīcēlis nu myrūnim, bet pīcēlis nabyutu, jo myrūni vyspōr natiks augšamcalti. 16 Jo myrūni natiks augšamcalti, tad arī Kristus nav augšamcēlīs. 17 Un jo Kristus nav augšamcēlīs, tad jyusu ticeiba ir veļteiga; jo jyus veļ asot sovūs grākūs, 18 un tī, kas ikš Kristus aizmyga, ir pazuduši. 19 Un jo mes šamā dzeivē asam cerējuši ikš Kristus, tad mes asam tī nūžālojamōkī storp vysim ļaudim.
20 Bet nyu Kristus ir pīsacēlis augšam kai pyrmais storp aizmygušajim. 21 Un kai caur vīnu cylvāku nōce nōve, tai caur vīnu cylvāku nōk arī augšamceļšonōs nu myrūnim. 22 Kai Odumā vysi nūmērst, tai ikš Kristus vysi atsadzeivynōs, 23 un ikvīns, kad uz jū nōks kōrta: kai pyrmais — Kristus, tad, Jō atnōkšonas breidī arī tī, kas Jam pīkreit. 24 Kad Jys Dīva vaļsteibu atdūs Dīvam un Tāvam un iznycynōs ikvīnu vaļdeišonu, ikvīnu spāku un varu, tad nōks beigas. 25 Un tad Jam byus jōvolda, koleidz zam Jō kōjom nūliks vysus īnaidnīkus. 26 Un kai pādejais īnaidnīks tiks iznycynōta nōve. 27 Zam Jō kōjom ir pakļauts vyss. Un jo Jys soka, ka vyss ir pakļauts, tad tys piļneigi tai ir, izjamut Tū, kas Jam vysu pakļōve. 28 Bet jo Jam byus pakļauts vyss, tad arī Dāls sevi pakļaus Tam, kas Jam vysu ir pakļōvis, lai vysā vyss byutu Dīvs. 29 Kū tad lai dora tī, kas par nūmyrušajim teik kristeiti, jo nūmyrušī nimoz nasacaltu augšam? Kōpēc tad par jim teik kristeiti? 30 Un kōpēc mes ikstundes sevi nūstōdam brīsmōs? 31 Dīn dīnā es asmu nōves brīsmōs tai, kai patīsai jyus, brōli, asot muns lapnums, kas man ir ikš Jezus Kristus myusu Kunga. 32 Lai gon es Efezā, kai ļaudis soka, ar plēseigajim zvērim ceinātūs, kū tad tys man paleidzātu? Jo nūmyrušī augšam nasaceļ, tad ēssim un dzersim, jo reit taipat nūmērsim. 33 Bet naļaunit sevis maldynōt! Ļaunas sarunas maitoj lobūs īrodumus! 34 Nōcit vaļsirdeigi pi apziņas un vairs nagrākojit! Dažim veļ tryukst atziņas par Dīvu. Šytū es jums soku, lai jyus saprostu kaunu.
Augšampīsacālušō mīsa.
35 Bet varbyut kaids jautōs: Kai tad nūmyrušī pīsaceļs? Kaidā tad mīsā tī nōks? 36 Muļkis! Tys, kū tu īsēj, uz dzeivi naīt, jo īprīkš nav nūmiris. 37 Un tys, kū tu īsēj, nav nōkamais augs, bet gon kvīšu vai arī cytas labeibas gryuds. 38 Un Dīvs jam dūd augumu pēc sovas labpatykas, un klōt pi tō ikvīnai sāklai sovu atsevišku augumu.
39 Arī vysas mīsas nava vīnaidas, bet gon cylvākam ir sovaida mīsa, četrkōjainim dzeivinīkim sovaida, putnim sovaida un zivim sovaida. 40 Ir kērmini debesīs ir arī kērmini vērs zemes, bet sovaidōks ir debess kērmiņu un zemes kērmiņu spūdrums. 41 Sovaidōks ir saules spūdrums, sovaidōks mēneša spūdrums, sovaidōks ir zvaigžņu spūdrums; pat zvaigzne nu zvaigznes atsaškir spūdrumā.
42 Tai ir arī ar augšamceļšonūs nu myrūnim. Teik sāts iznīceibā, augšampīcalts naiznīceibā; 43 sāts nagūdā, augšampīcalts gūdeibā; sāts vōjumā, augšampīcalts spākā; 44 sāts mīseigā mīsā, augšampīcalts goreigā mīsā. Un jo ir mīseiga mīsa, tad ir arī goreiga; 45 jo ir raksteits: Pyrmais cylvāks Odums kliva par byutni, kas mīseigi dzeivoj, pādejais Odums kliva par atdzeivynojūšū goru. 46 Pyrms, tūmār, nanōk goreigō, bet gon mīseigō un tad tikai goreigō. 47 Pyrmais cylvāks nōk nu zemes un ir zemysks, ūtrais nōk nu dabasim (un ir debeseigs). 48 Kaids zemyskais, taidi arī tī, kas vērs zemes ir; kaids debeseigais, taidi arī tī, kas ir debesīs. 49 Kai mes nosojam zemiskō tālu, tai sevī nosōsim debeseigō tālu. 50 Brōli, es jums golvoju, ka mīsa un asnis dabasu vaļsteibas īmontōt navar, ni arī iznīceibai padūtais naiznīceibas.
51 Raug, es jums pastōstu nūslāpumu: Mes vysi naīmigsim, bet vysi tiksim pōrveidōti, 52 un pi tam umai, ocu mirklī, leidz kū beidzamū reizi atskanēs taure. Taure atskanēs un nūmyrušī pīsaceļs naiznīceigi un mes tiksim pōrveidōti, 53 jo šytam iznīceibai padūtajam jōīsatērp naiznīceibā, un šytam mērsteigajam — namērsteibā.
Uzvara par nōvi.
54 Bet jo šytys iznīceibai padūtais teik īgārbts naiznīceibā un šytys mērsteigais namērsteibā, tad izapylda Rokstu vōrdi: Uzvarā ir apreita nōve. 55 Nōve, kur ir tova uzvara? Nōve, kur ir tovs dzalūņs? 56 Nōves dzaļūns ir grāks un grāka vara ir lykums. 57 Paļdis Dīvam, ka Jys mums deve uzvaru caur myusu Kungu Jezu Kristu. 58 Esit tad jyus, muni nūmīļōtī brōli, stipri, esit nasatrycynojami, esit vysod Kunga lītā centeigi byudami pōrlīcynōti, ka jyusu pyules ikš Kunga nabyus veļteigas.
Christ Was Raised to Life
1 My friends, I want you to remember the message I preached and that you believed and trusted. 2 You will be saved by this message, if you hold firmly to it. But if you don't, your faith was all for nothing.
3 I told you the most important part of the message exactly as it was told to me. This part is:
Christ died for our sins,
as the Scriptures say.
4 He was buried,
and three days later
he was raised to life,
as the Scriptures say.
5 Christ appeared to Peter,
then to the twelve.
6 After this, he appeared
to more than five hundred
other followers.
Most of them are still alive,
but some have died.
7 He also appeared to James,
then to all of the apostles.
8 Finally, he appeared to me, even though I am like someone who was born at the wrong time.
9 I am the least important of all the apostles. In fact, I caused so much trouble for God's church that I don't even deserve to be called an apostle. 10 But God treated me with undeserved grace! He made me what I am, and his grace wasn't wasted. I worked much harder than any of the other apostles, although it was really God's grace at work and not me. 11 But it doesn't matter if I preached or if they preached. All of you believed the message just the same.
God's People Will Be Raised to Life
12 If we preach that Christ was raised from death, how can some of you say the dead will not be raised to life? 13 If they won't be raised to life, Christ himself wasn't raised to life. 14 And if Christ wasn't raised to life, our message is worthless, and so is your faith. 15 If the dead won't be raised to life, we have told lies about God by saying he raised Christ to life, when he really did not.
16 So if the dead won't be raised to life, Christ wasn't raised to life. 17 Unless Christ was raised to life, your faith is useless, and you are still living in your sins. 18 And those people who died after putting their faith in him are completely lost. 19 If our hope in Christ is good only for this life, we are worse off than anyone else.
20 But Christ has been raised to life! And he makes us certain that others will also be raised to life. 21 Just as we will die because of Adam, we will be raised to life because of Christ. 22 Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us. 23 But we must each wait our turn. Christ was the first to be raised to life, and his people will be raised to life when he returns. 24 Then after Christ has destroyed all powers and forces, the end will come, and he will give the kingdom to God the Father.
25 Christ will rule until he puts all his enemies under his power, 26 and the last enemy he destroys will be death. 27 When the Scriptures say he will put everything under his power, they don't include God. It was God who put everything under the power of Christ. 28 After everything is under the power of God's Son, he will put himself under the power of God, who put everything under his Son's power. Then God will mean everything to everyone.
29 If the dead are not going to be raised to life, what will people do who are being baptized for them? Why are they being baptized for those dead people? 30 And why do we always risk our lives 31 and face death every day? The pride that I have in you because of Christ Jesus our Lord is what makes me say this. 32 What do you think I gained by fighting wild animals in Ephesus? If the dead are not raised to life,
“Let's eat and drink.
Tomorrow we die.”
33 Don't fool yourselves. Bad friends will destroy you. 34 Be sensible and stop sinning. You should be embarrassed that some people still don't know about God.
What Our Bodies Will Be Like
35 Some of you have asked, “How will the dead be raised to life? What kind of bodies will they have?” 36 Don't be foolish. A seed must die before it can sprout from the ground. 37 Wheat seeds and all other seeds look different from the sprouts that come up. 38 This is because God gives everything the kind of body he wants it to have. 39 People, animals, birds, and fish are each made of flesh, but none of them are alike. 40 Everything in the heavens has a body, and so does everything on earth. But each one is very different from all the others. 41 The sun isn't like the moon, the moon isn't like the stars, and each star is different.
42 That's how it will be when our bodies are raised to life. These bodies will die, but the bodies that are raised will live forever. 43 These ugly and weak bodies will become beautiful and strong. 44 As surely as there are physical bodies, there are spiritual bodies. And our physical bodies will be changed into spiritual bodies.
45 The first man was named Adam, and the Scriptures tell us that he was a living person. But Jesus, who may be called the last Adam, is a life-giving spirit. 46 We see that the one with a spiritual body did not come first. He came after the one who had a physical body. 47 The first man was made from the dust of the earth, but the second man came from heaven. 48 Everyone on earth has a body like the body of the one who was made from the dust of the earth. And everyone in heaven has a body like the body of the one who came from heaven. 49 Just as we are like the one who was made out of earth, we will be like the one who came from heaven.
50 My friends, I want you to know that our bodies of flesh and blood will decay. This means they cannot share in God's kingdom, which lasts forever. 51 I will explain a mystery to you. Not every one of us will die, but we will all be changed. 52 It will happen suddenly, quicker than the blink of an eye. At the sound of the last trumpet the dead will be raised. We will all be changed, so we will never die again. 53 Our dead and decaying bodies will be changed into bodies that won't die or decay. 54 The bodies we now have are weak and can die. But they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true,
“Death has lost the battle!
55 Where is its victory?
Where is its sting?”
56 Sin is what gives death its sting, and the Law is the power behind sin. 57 But thank God for letting our Lord Jesus Christ give us the victory!
58 My dear friends, stand firm and don't be shaken. Always keep busy working for the Lord. You know that everything you do for him is worthwhile.
