KRISTAUEN PIZTUERA (15,1-58)

Kristoren piztuera

1 Senideok, irakatsi nizuen berri ona oroitarazten dizuet. Zuek onartu egin zenuten, hartan sendo oinarrituak zaudete 2 eta salbatu ere harexek salbatzen zaituzte, nik iragarri nizuen bezala eusten badiozue. Bestela, alferrik sinetsiko zenuten. 3 Neuk hartu nuena bera eskualdatu nizuen lehen-lehenik, hau da: Kristo gure bekatuengatik hilt zela, Liburu Santuek esan bezala; 4 hobiratu egin zutela eta hirugarren egunean piztu egin zela, Liburu Santuek esan bezala;t 5 Pedrorit agertu zitzaiola, eta ondoren Hamabiei;t 6 gero, bostehun eta gehiago senideri agertu zitzaien batera; haietatik gehienak bizirik daude oraindik, batzuk hil badira ere;

7 gero, Santiagori agertu zitzaion, ondoren apostolu guztiei.t
8 Beste guztiei agertu ondoren, neuri ere agertu zitzaidan, garaiz kanpo jaiotako haurrat bezalakoa naizen honi;t 9 izan ere, apostoluetan txikiena naiz ni, apostolu izenik ere merezi ez duena, Jainkoaren Eliza pertsegitu bainuen.t 10 Baina Jainkoak bere onginahiaz egin nau naizen hau, eta haren onginahia ez da fruiturik gabea izan niregan: beste apostolu guztiek baino lan gehiago egin dut, izan ere; ez, noski, nik, baizik eta Jainkoak nirekin bere onginahiaz.t

11 Dena dela, bai haiek eta bai nik, horixe da hots egiten dugun mezua, eta horixe zuek sinetsi duzuena.

Gure piztuera

19 Kristorengan jarria dugun itxaropenak bizitza honetarako bakarrik balio badu, gizaki guztietan errukarrienak gara.
20 Baina ez, piztu da Kristo hildakoen artetik, heriotzatik piztuko direnen aitzindari.t 21 Izan ere, heriotza gizon baten bidez etorrit zen bezala, gizon baten bidez etorri zen hildakoen piztuera ere. 22 Eta Adamekin duten batasunagatik gizaki guztiak hiltzen diren bezala, Kristorekin duten batasunagatik guztiak itzuliko dira bizira.t 23 Baina bakoitza bere garaian: lehenengo Kristo, lehen fruitu bezala; gero, Kristorenak, hau berriro etortzean.t 24 Gero, azkena izango da, Kristok, Jainkoaren kontrako nagusitza, aginte eta indar guztiakt ezereztu ondoren, Jainko Aitari erreinua emangot dionean. 25 Kristok errege izaten jarraitu behar baitu, Jainkoak etsai guztiak haren oinazpian ipini arte.t 26 Azkena ezereztuko den etsaia heriotza izango da.t 27 Izan ere, gauza guztiaktharen menpean jarri ditu Jainkoak. Baina Liburu Santuak, dena haren menpeko dela esatean, ez du, noski, hor sartzen Jainkoa bera, gauza guztiak menpean jarri dizkiona.

28 Jainkoak gauza guztiak menpean jarriko dizkionean, Semea bera menpean jarriko zaio gauza guztiak menpean jarri zizkionari, eta Jainkoa guztietan guztia izango da.
29 Badira zuen artean hildakoengatik bataiatzen direnakt. Baina benetan hilak pizten ez badira, zertarako balio du hildakoengatik bataiatzeak? 30 Eta gu, zertarako gabiltza etengabe arriskutan?t 31 Senideok, Jesu Kristo gure Jaunari esker, zuek nire harrotasuna zaretela bezain egia da egunero heriotza gainean dudalarik bizi naizela.t

32 Efeson basapiztien kontra borrokat egin nuen hartan, giza helburu hutsez ari izan banintz, zer irabaziko nukeen horrekin? Hilak pizten ez badira,
jan dezagun t eta edan,
bihar hil behar dugu eta.
33 Ez zaitzatela inork engaina! Lagun txarrek ohitura onak usteldu egiten dituztet.

34 Etor zaitezte senera eta utzi bekatu egitearit, zuetako batzuek ez baitute ezagutzen Jainkoa. Zeuen lotsarako diotsuet.

Piztutakoen gorputza

41 Eguzkiaren distira honelakoa da, ilargiarena halakoa eta izarrena bestelakoa. Eta izarrek berek ere ez dute denek distira berdina.
42 Hildakoen piztuerarekin ere gauza bera gertatuko da: ereiten dena ustelkorra da, pizten dena ustelezina; 43 ereiten dena mespretxagarria, pizten dena ospetsua; ereiten dena ahula, pizten dena indartsua;t 44 haragizko gorputza ereiten da eta espirituzkoa pizten; haragizko gorputza baden bezala, espirituzkoat ere bada. 45 Honela dio, hain zuzen, Liburu Santuak: lehenengo gizakia, Adam, izaki bizidun bilakatu zen; azkeneko Adam, berriz, Espiritu bizi-emaile.t 46 Ez zen espirituzkoa izan lehenengoa, haragizkoa baizik; espirituzkoa ondoren dator. 47 Lehenbiziko gizakia lurreko hautsetikt hartua izan zen; bigarrena, berriz, zerutik dator. 48 Lurtarra, Adam, lurtarren eredu eta irudi da; zerutarra, Kristo, zerutarrena.

49 Eta lurtarraren irudiko garen bezala, zerutarraren irudiko ere izango gara.t
50 Senideok, honekin esan nahi dizuet, hezur-mamizko gorputza ezin dela Jainkoaren erreinuaren jabe egin, ezta ustelkorra dena ustelezin denaren jabe ere.t 51 Hara, misterio bat adierazten dizuet: ez gara denok hilko, baina izatez aldatuak izango gara denokt 52 unetxo batean, begien itxi-ireki batean, azkeneko turuta-hotsarekin baterat. Izan ere, turutak joko du eta hildakoak ustelezin piztuko dira eta gu izatez aldatuak izango.t

53 Gure izate ustelkorrak bizi ustelezinez jantzi behar du, eta izate hilkorrak hilezkortasunez.t

54 Gure izate ustelkorra bizi ustelezinez jantziko denean, eta izate hilkorra hilezkortasunez, orduan beteko da Liburu Santuak dioenat:
Behin betiko t galdua
gertatu da heriotza.

55  Non duk t , Herio, heure garaipena?
Non heure eztena?
56 Heriotza dakarren eztena bekatua da, eta bekatuak legetik hartzen du bere indarrat.t

57 Eman diezazkiogun eskerrak Jainkoari, halako garaipena ematen digulako Jesu Kristo gure Jaunaren bitartez!
58 Beraz, senide maiteok, ez aldatu asmoz eta iraun sendo, egunetik egunera Jaunaren lanean gero eta gogotsuago jardunez, jakinik Jaunak ez duela zuen nekea saririk gabe utziko.t

1 Corinthians 15

Christ’s Resurrection

1 Now I want to make clear for you,t brothers and sisters,t the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand,2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you – unless you believed in vain.3 For I passed on to you as of first importancet what I also received – that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,4 and that he was buried, and that he was raisedt on the third day according to the scriptures,5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisterst at one time, most of whom are still alive,t though some have fallen asleep.t7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.8 Last of all, as though to one born at the wrong time,s he appeared to me also.9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain. In fact, I worked harder than all of them – yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

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

No Resurrection?

12 Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead,t how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is futile and your faith is empty.15 Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ from the dead, when in reality he did not raise him, if indeed the dead are not raised.16 For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins.18 Furthermore, those who have fallen asleept in Christ have also perished.

19 For if only in this life we have hope in Christ, we should be pitied more than anyone.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.21 For since death came through a man,t the resurrection of the dead also came through a man.t22 For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.23 But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; then when Christ comes, those who belong to him.t24 Thent comes the end,t when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he has brought to an end all rule and all authority and power.25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.26 The last enemy to be eliminated is death.27 For he has put everything in subjection under his feet.s But when it says “everything” has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to him.

28 And when all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead?s If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?30 Why too are we in danger every hour?31 Every day I am in danger of death! This is as sure ast my boasting in you,s which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.32 If from a human point of view I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus,s what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.s33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”s

34 Sober up as you should, and stop sinning! For some have no knowledge of God – I say this to your shame!

The Resurrection Body

35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”36 Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies.37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seedt – perhaps of wheat or something else.38 But God gives it a body just as he planned, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.39 All flesh is not the same: People have one flesh, animals have another, birds and fish another.t40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. The glory of the heavenly body is one sort and the earthly another.

41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory.
42 It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable.t43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;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.45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”;t the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.46 However, the spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.47 The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.48 Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust, and like the one from heaven, so too those who are heavenly.

49 And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, let us also bears the image of the man of heaven.
50 Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters:t Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.51 Listen,t I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep,st but we will all be changed –52 in a moment, in the blinkingt of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

54 Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen,
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”s

55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”s
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

58 So then, dear brothers and sisters,t be firm. Do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
