1 Corinthians 15 (PBT)

1Menaya metelrena dokeka,dewetena asnaWalri te snamalre,yansine doukauna ne Eine otone telpelre tepauwe.Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.

2Ne asnaWalri ne we tro mraupeko,nemalati asal dena da asna Walri suamarnate wei mene swetelre tapemba,telpelrete aripainya kasonembombe.By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3De nepe wete sanemupukalre, metelrena tena metelrena kalrotena nepelre lati delrei mene doukalrena Walri Yei tetepuko, eyei peko tante, Asna Walri eine mane.For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

4Ne nepe kani eine, nete duyupuko, ya naming ne Asna Walri eina mane.that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

5Nemane lati ne eute Kefas te kyambuko, neyasi nei yau-yauna.and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.

6Nepelre lati detelro domuku mesi kaso pelre te kyamupuko, ne detelro delre walro da selrei walri te neme nekaye, meselrei mo nepelre walrite.After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

7Nepelrena nenei eute Yakobuste kyambuko, nepelrelati metelrena yauna-yaunate.Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8Tutena,yei snanaiye okosrey mipainya,nilati dete wei te kyamufuko.And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.

9Netenate,de kiyatelre yauna-yauna kna nelrone neperlati rasultena Eido doi ai na mane de mangnei Walri yau detelrote pekote mekoyamalre.For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10Nemane, Mang kna bise,de nepe de da selrei te.nepelre lati kna bise dekotena kasombai, de kembalri tena kna kalri dopelre, ne metelrena ambai: dena wakena ambai, Mang nei kena bise eine ditipuko.But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

11Ne kalrotena, delrei eulre bai neye nemane lati kiyanemlre nemane sate we telrepelre doukawe. Tete Eilre Deina YeWhether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

12Nemane Walriyee fete Eilre deipuko ate sanenai melre,datelro mesrubei wena nelrore sani yaime tetepiyowe deipainya.But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13Nemenatena teteEilre deipainyatena,Walri nemanulati deipai.If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.

14Neperlati Walri yei tete Eilre deipai,dena da Awalri snanemerle nemane lati wei telpelre kasombei.And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.

15Ne kasolati,dena Eine tapeinaina mangkna apeu peu detelro,de Akeya snanemerna. mang Walri yei tete Eire deimbune deipaina nelrore deyembuko. Nena telpelre tena souyowona setelro nekotena deipai.In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.

16Nesate,detelro soweyowena deipainya,nemalati Kristus daipai.For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.

17Nemanelati Walri yei teteeire depainya,wei telpelre kaso-kaso neperlati we weipeko eine nemenye.And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

18Nemanelati,detelro Kristus kna Eine soweyowena,pekate yatiyai.Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

19Nematena,ena kena Kristus kna eina da yereu mo tena e detelro nou mbai telre, metelrena detelrona prena.If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

20Nemaneye menaya Kristus detelro tete nelrone deyufuko memte telreltena ona metelrena telpelreina sowe yowena detelra.But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

21Nemanelati,tete detelro dei malre kyambuko,nemalati,deyumbona detelro mbei molre tete nelrore deyembona.For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

22Netenate Adam kena Eine metelrena tetete,nemalati Walri yei kna eine metelrena deyembone.For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

23Nemaneye detelro mbei-mbei nenei yasreite,walri yei mentetelvetena neperna lati ne walri yei kna eine nekoute mendena deinaiye.But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.

24Ne yate mendena,ne Dia blere te mamei mang Walri te kronelnelre, Ne krumna metelrenal,metelrena delre kalro,nepelre metelrena wake.Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.

25Netenate/nemame,nemo krunde tapende mangWalri metelrena yembe detelrote nei ototeme krombonde.For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

26Yembe detelro tutelretena tete.The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

27Sebab,mang Walri metelrena sasyasy nei olo kelrena kropuko nemaneye,nedaute elrenaye mang Walri metelrena nenei Eukelre ne kropuko. kiatelre dakalrotena inang nekwena motelre,metelrena sazasy te Walri yeite krombuko.For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.

28Te metelrena Kristus kna euyene krombone,Nepetena nenei yei Walri yei Eutelati nei Eute mang kna Euyene krombone,nepetena nenei yei Walri yei Eutelati nei eute mang kna kelrena kombone,metelrena kalrote Kristus kenene kronembone. Netende mang Walri metelrena kalrote nei bulrane.And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.

29Nemane Ambai,beyasate mekonembone saweyowen na detelro tena. Soweyowena metelrena deipainya nemenatena netena melraibu beyatena nete kroiyaime?If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?

30Nepelre,E beyatena pekoEine nemenamote nekande?And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?

31Dokeka- dokeka, yane-yane tetembei delrei bukoune, delrei kena kaso wena eine, Walri Yei kenalre doukalre, eyei melro-melrote.I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

32Detelro yei yekotena, beyasa bete eumena te doukalre, damane tutande Efesus yone malrisa selraina?" netenate saweyowena detelro denaina membe sate nepelre bete anemalre wambeya tetemalrena.If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

33Apupeitena tiyei dopelre;" peko kepoi-kepoi poi kalro aite tutaye"Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

34Poi mendote dowembe. poitena nepelre pekotena mekoipainya, netenate, detelro meslrembei Mang tena nimeipai, da a kalrote snamalre we paitabulre.Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.

35nemane, detelro mbei-mbei siminai, detelro soweyowena beyamane deyenaiye? beyamane euyene nekoute menaye?But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

36Heyei detelro plro-plro! beyasa nung pelrauna nekoutena balripai, nekalrotena, memetena tetembone,You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

37Nepelre, a pelrembena eu onung balripainya nekalrotena na esuna elre ambai, Gadum na mane nepelre ona sisi.And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.

38Nemane, Mang Walri eu wasendena, nena kenalre tiyende, metelrena naa nei tute mbei-mbei yatenemelre.But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.

39Metelrena endung, endung nembei ambai, netenate endung beimo detelro kna endung, nepelre endung si malrisa endung, nepelre endung ka endung.Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.

40Walri Eu, tete eu, wari nei eu nei mona nekewena da tete eu nei moi elrikoipai.There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.

41su nei moi tere, oko nei moi mobete, neperelati meya nei moi monekewena.The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

42nemane lati detero soweyowena denaina.So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.

43niki eire pemare, mro-mro eire denaiye wakembanya eire perna, wake eire denaiye.It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

44tete eute perenaiye, wari eu mane denaiye. nemane tete eute nekewena mane wari eu lati.It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

45Semona meraipukona: memeteretena detero Adam neso-neso warite dupuko, memeteretena Adam aru walrite yatumu.So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

46Nemane wari eu memeteretena ambai, memeteretetna tete eu nepere lati wlari eu.The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.

47Memeteretena detero dayoburana, nepe kanni wau, dabetena dettero walri yorena.The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.

48Nemane lati kani, nemane lati kani waurena neperelati wari yorna nemane lati walri yorena.As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.

49Nemane lati ete mekopukona detero mane, kani wauna elati wari eute titimapone.And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.

50Dena ate dokeka wete snamare, engdung pre saa Mang kna diane wari tiki nikipai Walri Sna ambaina.Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

51Betombe de wete snamarena snambei yeterenekewena sa. e tete tena meterena yatipai, neperena eu meterena busite.Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

52Neidaitena dou dambeimo neprelati tutena ya toni kurung warende. tete eina detero denaiye, elati eu busite mekomare.in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

53Netenate, pekodunaina, peko peko doipainate titinai, neperelati saunainaye, soiyipainate titinai.For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

54Nedaite, pekodunaina peko doipainate titinai tetenainaye titipainate titinaipone. Nesa yumbena Wari Asna semone meraipuko." tete nepe Walri tunupuko"When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

55Hei tete wei wake menoute? Hei peko, wei arema menoute?"“Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?”

56Wapi-wapi nei arema nekewena peko, nepere peko nei dere nekewena taurat Atung."The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

57Nemane, E Mang te A ssu-sau eine, ete wake te kirinemere Walri Yei kna Warore Yesus Kristus.But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

58Netenate derei dokeka, terepere nembeina kena bise esuna suwetere tepembe, betepere tupeipainya. Mang kna kembari eine warembe, nepere we nepe nimeyambuko wei kembari walri kna eine kesmbai.Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
