1 Corinthians 15

1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.

1 وَأُعَرِّفُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ بِٱلْإِنْجِيلِ ٱلَّذِي بَشَّرْتُكُمْ بِهِ، وَقَبِلْتُمُوهُ، وَتَقُومُونَ فِيهِ،

2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

2 وَبِهِ أَيْضًا تَخْلُصُونَ، إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَذْكُرُونَ أَيُّ كَلَامٍ بَشَّرْتُكُمْ بِهِ. إِلَّا إِذَا كُنْتُمْ قَدْ آمَنْتُمْ عَبَثًا!

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

3 فَإِنَّنِي سَلَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ مَا قَبِلْتُهُ أَنَا أَيْضًا: أَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مَاتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا حَسَبَ ٱلْكُتُبِ،

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

4 وَأَنَّهُ دُفِنَ، وَأَنَّهُ قَامَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ حَسَبَ ٱلْكُتُبِ،

5 and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.

5 وَأَنَّهُ ظَهَرَ لِصَفَا ثُمَّ لِلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

6 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ظَهَرَ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً لِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسِمِئَةِ أَخٍ، أَكْثَرُهُمْ بَاقٍ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ. وَلَكِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ قَدْ رَقَدُوا.

7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

7 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ظَهَرَ لِيَعْقُوبَ، ثُمَّ لِلرُّسُلِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

8 And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.

8 وَآخِرَ ٱلْكُلِّ - كَأَنَّهُ لِلسِّقْطِ - ظَهَرَ لِي أَنَا.

9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

9 لِأَنِّي أَصْغَرُ ٱلرُّسُلِ، أَنَا ٱلَّذِي لَسْتُ أَهْلًا لِأَنْ أُدْعَى رَسُولًا، لِأَنِّي ٱضْطَهَدْتُ كَنِيسَةَ ٱللهِ.

10 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.

10 وَلَكِنْ بِنِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ أَنَا مَا أَنَا، وَنِعْمَتُهُ ٱلْمُعْطَاةُ لِي لَمْ تَكُنْ بَاطِلَةً، بَلْ أَنَا تَعِبْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ جَمِيعِهِمْ. وَلَكِنْ لَا أَنَا، بَلْ نِعْمَةُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي مَعِي.

11 Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

11 فَسَوَاءٌ أَنَا أَمْ أُولَئِكَ، هَكَذَا نَكْرِزُ وَهَكَذَا آمَنْتُمْ.

12 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?

12 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يُكْرَزُ بِهِ أَنَّهُ قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، فَكَيْفَ يَقُولُ قَوْمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ: «إِنْ لَيْسَ قِيَامَةُ أَمْوَاتٍ»؟

13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.

13 فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ قِيَامَةُ أَمْوَاتٍ فَلَا يَكُونُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ قَدْ قَامَ!

14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.

14 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ قَدْ قَامَ، فَبَاطِلَةٌ كِرَازَتُنَا وَبَاطِلٌ أَيْضًا إِيمَانُكُمْ،

15 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.

15 وَنُوجَدُ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا شُهُودَ زُورٍ لِلهِ، لِأَنَّنَا شَهِدْنَا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱللهِ أَنَّهُ أَقَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ وَهُوَ لَمْ يُقِمْهُ، إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمَوْتَى لَا يَقُومُونَ.

16 For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.

16 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمَوْتَى لَا يَقُومُونَ، فَلَا يَكُونُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ قَدْ قَامَ.

17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

17 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ قَدْ قَامَ، فَبَاطِلٌ إِيمَانُكُمْ. أَنْتُمْ بَعْدُ فِي خَطَايَاكُمْ!

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

18 إِذًا ٱلَّذِينَ رَقَدُوا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَيْضًا هَلَكُوا!

19 If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

19 إِنْ كَانَ لَنَا فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ فَقَطْ رَجَاءٌ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، فَإِنَّنَا أَشْقَى جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

20 وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ قَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ وَصَارَ بَاكُورَةَ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ.

21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

21 فَإِنَّهُ إِذِ ٱلْمَوْتُ بِإِنْسَانٍ، بِإِنْسَانٍ أَيْضًا قِيَامَةُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

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

22 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا فِي آدَمَ يَمُوتُ ٱلْجَمِيعُ، هَكَذَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ سَيُحْيَا ٱلْجَمِيعُ.

23 But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.

23 وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ فِي رُتْبَتِهِ: ٱلْمَسِيحُ بَاكُورَةٌ، ثُمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لِلْمَسِيحِ فِي مَجِيئِهِ.

24 Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.

24 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱلنِّهَايَةُ، مَتَى سَلَّمَ ٱلْمُلْكَ لِلهِ ٱلْآبِ، مَتَى أَبْطَلَ كُلَّ رِيَاسَةٍ وَكُلَّ سُلْطَانٍ وَكُلَّ قُوَّةٍ.

25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

25 لِأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَمْلِكَ حَتَّى «يَضَعَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَعْدَاءِ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ».

26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

26 آخِرُ عَدُوٍّ يُبْطَلُ هُوَ ٱلْمَوْتُ.

27 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.

27 لِأَنَّهُ أَخْضَعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ حِينَمَا يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ أُخْضِعَ» فَوَاضِحٌ أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْضَعَ لَهُ ٱلْكُلَّ.

28 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.

28 وَمَتَى أُخْضِعَ لَهُ ٱلْكُلُّ، فَحِينَئِذٍ ٱلِٱبْنُ نَفْسُهُ أَيْضًا سَيَخْضَعُ لِلَّذِي أَخْضَعَ لَهُ ٱلْكُلَّ، كَيْ يَكُونَ ٱللهُ ٱلْكُلَّ فِي ٱلْكُلِّ.

29 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?

29 وَإِلَّا فَمَاذَا يَصْنَعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْتَمِدُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ؟ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتُ لَا يَقُومُونَ ٱلْبَتَّةَ، فَلِمَاذَا يَعْتَمِدُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ؟

30 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?

30 وَلِمَاذَا نُخَاطِرُ نَحْنُ كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ؟

31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

31 إِنِّي بِٱفْتِخَارِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي لِي فِي يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا، أَمُوتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ.

32 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.”

32 إِنْ كُنْتُ كَإِنْسَانٍ قَدْ حَارَبْتُ وُحُوشًا فِي أَفَسُسَ، فَمَا ٱلْمَنْفَعَةُ لِي؟ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتُ لَا يَقُومُونَ، «فَلْنَأْكُلْ وَنَشْرَبْ لِأَنَّنَا غَدًا نَمُوتُ!».

33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

33 لَا تَضِلُّوا: «فَإِنَّ ٱلْمُعَاشَرَاتِ ٱلرَّدِيَّةَ تُفْسِدُ ٱلْأَخْلَاقَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ».

34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.

34 اُصْحُوا لِلْبِرِّ وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا، لِأَنَّ قَوْمًا لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ مَعْرِفَةٌ بِٱللهِ. أَقُولُ ذَلِكَ لِتَخْجِيلِكُمْ!

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

35 لَكِنْ يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: «كَيْفَ يُقَامُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتُ؟ وَبِأَيِّ جِسْمٍ يَأْتُونَ؟».

36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

36 يَاغَبِيُّ! ٱلَّذِي تَزْرَعُهُ لَا يُحْيَا إِنْ لَمْ يَمُتْ.

37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.

37 وَٱلَّذِي تَزْرَعُهُ، لَسْتَ تَزْرَعُ ٱلْجِسْمَ ٱلَّذِي سَوْفَ يَصِيرُ، بَلْ حَبَّةً مُجَرَّدَةً، رُبَّمَا مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ أَوْ أَحَدِ ٱلْبَوَاقِي.

38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.

38 وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ يُعْطِيهَا جِسْمًا كَمَا أَرَادَ. وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ ٱلْبُزُورِ جِسْمَهُ.

39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.

39 لَيْسَ كُلُّ جَسَدٍ جَسَدًا وَاحِدًا، بَلْ لِلنَّاسِ جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَلِلْبَهَائِمِ جَسَدٌ آخَرُ، وَلِلسَّمَكِ آخَرُ، وَلِلطَّيْرِ آخَرُ.

40 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.

40 وَأَجْسَامٌ سَمَاوِيَّةٌ، وَأَجْسَامٌ أَرْضِيَّةٌ. لَكِنَّ مَجْدَ ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتِ شَيْءٌ، وَمَجْدَ ٱلْأَرْضِيَّاتِ آخَرُ.

41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

41 مَجْدُ ٱلشَّمْسِ شَيْءٌ، وَمَجْدُ ٱلْقَمَرِ آخَرُ، وَمَجْدُ ٱلنُّجُومِ آخَرُ. لِأَنَّ نَجْمًا يَمْتَازُ عَنْ نَجْمٍ فِي ٱلْمَجْدِ.

42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.

42 هَكَذَا أَيْضًا قِيَامَةُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ: يُزْرَعُ فِي فَسَادٍ وَيُقَامُ فِي عَدَمِ فَسَادٍ.

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

43 يُزْرَعُ فِي هَوَانٍ وَيُقَامُ فِي مَجْدٍ. يُزْرَعُ فِي ضَعْفٍ وَيُقَامُ فِي قُوَّةٍ.

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

44 يُزْرَعُ جِسْمًا حَيَوَانِيًّا وَيُقَامُ جِسْمًا رُوحَانِيًّا. يُوجَدُ جِسْمٌ حَيَوَانِيٌّ وَيُوجَدُ جِسْمٌ رُوحَانِيٌّ.

45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

45 هَكَذَا مَكْتُوبٌ أَيْضًا: «صَارَ آدَمُ، ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ، نَفْسًا حَيَّةً»، وَآدَمُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ رُوحًا مُحْيِيًا.

46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.

46 لَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلرُّوحَانِيُّ أَوَّلًا بَلِ ٱلْحَيَوَانِيُّ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱلرُّوحَانِيُّ.

47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.

47 ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ تُرَابِيٌّ. ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلثَّانِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

48 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.

48 كَمَا هُوَ ٱلتُّرَابِيُّ هَكَذَا ٱلتُّرَابِيُّونَ أَيْضًا، وَكَمَا هُوَ ٱلسَّمَاوِيُّ هَكَذَا ٱلسَّمَاوِيُّونَ أَيْضًا.

49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.

49 وَكَمَا لَبِسْنَا صُورَةَ ٱلتُّرَابِيِّ، سَنَلْبَسُ أَيْضًا صُورَةَ ٱلسَّمَاوِيِّ.

50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

50 فَأَقُولُ هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ: إِنَّ لَحْمًا وَدَمًا لَا يَقْدِرَانِ أَنْ يَرِثَا مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ، وَلَا يَرِثُ ٱلْفَسَادُ عَدَمَ ٱلْفَسَادِ.

51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

51 هُوَذَا سِرٌّ أَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ: لَا نَرْقُدُ كُلُّنَا، وَلَكِنَّنَا كُلَّنَا نَتَغَيَّرُ،

52 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.

52 فِي لَحْظَةٍ فِي طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ، عِنْدَ ٱلْبُوقِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ. فَإِنَّهُ سَيُبَوَّقُ، فَيُقَامُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتُ عَدِيمِي فَسَادٍ، وَنَحْنُ نَتَغَيَّرُ.

53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

53 لِأَنَّ هَذَا ٱلْفَاسِدَ لَابُدَّ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ عَدَمَ فَسَادٍ، وَهَذَا ٱلْمَائِتَ يَلْبَسُ عَدَمَ مَوْتٍ.

54 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.”

54 وَمَتَى لَبِسَ هَذَا ٱلْفَاسِدُ عَدَمَ فَسَادٍ، وَلَبِسَ هَذَا ٱلْمَائِتُ عَدَمَ مَوْتٍ، فَحِينَئِذٍ تَصِيرُ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةُ: «ٱبْتُلِعَ ٱلْمَوْتُ إِلَى غَلَبَةٍ».

55 “Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?”

55 «أَيْنَ شَوْكَتُكَ يَا مَوْتُ؟ أَيْنَ غَلَبَتُكِ يَا هَاوِيَةُ؟»

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

56 أَمَّا شَوْكَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ فَهِيَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ، وَقُوَّةُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ هِيَ ٱلنَّامُوسُ.

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

57 وَلَكِنْ شُكْرًا لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِينَا ٱلْغَلَبَةَ بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

58 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.

58 إِذًا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ، كُونُوا رَاسِخِينَ، غَيْرَ مُتَزَعْزِعِينَ، مُكْثِرِينَ فِي عَمَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ حِينٍ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ تَعَبَكُمْ لَيْسَ بَاطِلًا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.
