1 Ukorintiyawa 15
1 Nene nlizin minu, nuana nilime nan nishono, ubelen lirun ntucue na ndin belu minu, ulenge na ina seru inani yisin ku.
Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,
2 Na nya nnare ina se utucu, asa imino ligbulan nlire nin likara na ndin belu minu, andi na iyina mun ba iba so hem.
by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
3 Bara meng nani minu nafo ucizunu nliru ulenge na meng wang na seru: Kristi na ku bara. alapi bitere nafo ubellun nliru Kutellẹ.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 Iwa kasughe, amini iwa fiyaghe kisseke liri lin tat nafo ubellun nliru Kutellẹ.
and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
5 Awa durso litime kitin Kefas, nin kiti mine inun likure nin naba.
and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
6 Kimal nani tutung awa durso litime kiti nuana nilime nin nshono na iwa katin akalt ataun nan nya kubi kurume, gbardan namon mine dunin lai udak kitimone, among mine namalu udu nmoro.
then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
7 Tutung awa duro litime kitin Yakub, akuru aduro litime. kiti nanan kadura me vat.
then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
8 Umalzinu vat, awa duro litime kitining, nafo gono kanga na ina marughe uyishi.
and last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also.
9 Mere kabene nan nya nanan kadura me, na nbati iyicilai unan kadura me ba, bara meng kilari Kutellẹ wa neo.
For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Nani ubolu Kutellẹ uni nta nmini nso ule na ndi, a ubolu me nme na una so hem ba. Nan nya nani, Nna katiza nani nin su katwa vat. Vat nani na mere wadi ba, ubolu Kutellẹri na udi ninmi.
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Bara nani sa meng sa inung, nanere tidin belu ulirun ntucue, nanere anung nyina mun.
Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12 Nengene andi idin belu Kristi nafita nan nya nanan kul, nyizari among mine din belu au na ufitu nanan kul duku ba?
Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Andi na ufitu nanan kul duku, na ame Kristi wang ina fiyaghe ba.
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
14 Andi na ina fiya Kristi kuba, to uwazi bite nso hem, a uyinu sa uyenu mine tutung nso hem.
and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
15 Uma so tiso anan nba kinu kiti Kutellẹ, bara na tina ti ananba ti ta Kutellẹ, nworu ana fiya Kristi, a nani ana fiyaghe ba.
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.
16 Bara andi na ifiya anan kul ba, ame Kristi wang na ina fiyaghe ba.
For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:
17 Andi na ina fiya Kristi ku ba, uyinu sa uyenu mine nso hemọ, inin du nan nya nalapi mine.
and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Inung alenge na ina kuzu nan nya Kristi inung tutung wang inana.
Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Andi nan nya nlenge ulaiyere, cas tidi nin ciwu nayi udun nbu nan nya Kristi, nan nanit vat, tiso imon nkune kune.
If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
20 Nani ina fiya Kristi ku nan nya nanan kul, nonon cizinu na lenge na ina kuzu.
But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
21 Bara na kitin nit urumari ukul na dak, kiti nit urumere wang ufitu nanan kul madak.
For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Nafo na unuzun Adamu vat naku, nanere wang unuzun Kristi vat ma se ulai.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 Nani ko uyeme nin unme ucine: Kristi kumat ncizunu, nin dortu nij nalenge na idi anitin Kristi ima tinani ulai nin dak me.
But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
24 Kimal nimaline, asa Kristi ma nakpu Kiping tigowe kiti Kutellẹ uciffe, kubi ko na aba musuzu tigo nin nanan tigowe a anang nagan.
Then [cometh] the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 Aba su tigoh me udu kubi kongo na ale na inari ame ba tumunu nshin nabunu me.
For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Unan ni vira nimaline na ima musuzu vat ukulari.
The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
27 Bara, ''Anamalu uciu ko iyapin imon vat nshin nabunu me,'' kube na iworo ''a cau imon vat,'' udi kanang nworu na ulele nmunu ame ulenge na a cio ko iyapin imon na ame litime di nnanye ba.
For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.
28 Vat ni lenge imon na ina nighe tigo kitene, na vat nimon ame usaunne litime ma ni litime kiti nlenge na ana ni imon vat kitime, Kutellẹ Ucif nan so vat nan nya vat.
And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.
29 Andi na nani ba nyizari inung alenge alenge na idin tizu nani ubaptizima bara inung?
Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
30 Iyaghari nta tissosin nan nya fiu ko kome kubi?
why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 Nuana nilime nin nishono, ufo figiri nighe nin ghinue ulenge nan dimun nan nya Kristi Yisa Cikalari bit, meng belinmunu ulele: ndin kuzu nan nya kidowo kolome liri.
I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 In kpina nin nyang, nafo inyenju nnit usurne, andi inwa su nnun nin ninawa tene in Afisas, andi na iba fiyu anan kule ba? Na ti li ti so, bara na tina ku nin kwui.
If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
33 Na iwa rusuzu minu ba: ''Ligo nan nanan nakara ananza din nanzu lidu licine.''
Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
34 Fitan nan nya moro, sun lissosin li lau! Na iwa li ubun nin nalapi ba. Bara na among mine di nin yiru Kutellẹ ba, nbelle nani inan lanza ncing.
Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame.
35 Umon ma woru ''iba fiwu anan kul inyizari? Nin niyapi nidowari iba sa?''
But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
36 Anung anan tanni! Imong ilenge na ibilisa na iba cizunu tikuna ba andi na ibijo ba.
Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
37 Imus ilenge na ubilisa na ima nuzu nin kani kidowe ba, bara ima yitu imusari cas, ima nin dẹ kpilio iso ileu sa imoimon ugan.
and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
38 Kutellẹ ma ni fining kidowo ka na ame fere, tutung ko fome fimus nin kinme kidowe.
but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 Nidowo dizi ngangang, kin nit usurne duku, kin finawan ntene duku, kin kuyin duku, a kin fiboa yita ku.
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
40 Nidowo duku tutung nin kitene a nin yii yita ku. Ngogon nidowo kitene kane di ugan a ngogon nidowo inyii ugang.
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
41 Nmong ngogong duku min wui, a nmong ngogon ku min pwui, a nmong ku min niyini, bara ngogong nfong fiyini di ugang nin nfong fiyini.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 Nanere wang ufizu nanan kul. Ibila kining nan nya biju, iba fiu kining nin salin biju.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 Ibila kining nan nya nsalin ngogong, ifiya kining nan nya ngogong. Ibila kining nan nya nsali likara ifiya kining nin likara.
it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 Ibila kining nan nya kidowo, ifiya kining nan nya kidowo nruhu. Andi kidowo nkul duku nanere wang kidowo nruhu duku.
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 Nanere tutung ina nyertin, '' unit un cizune Adamu wa so unan lai,'' Adamu nimalin so uruhun nnizun lai.
So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
46 Na kin ruhuere wa tu kidaba kishowo nin kidughe kin ruhue nin da.
Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
47 Unit uncizune kunan minari, iwa keghe nin lidau. Unit unba na nanuzu kitene kani.
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
48 Nafo na ulenge na ina keghe nin lidau di, nanere wang alenge na ina ke nani nin lidau di. Nafo na unan kitene kane di, nanere wang inung alenge na idi anan kitene kane di.
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 Nafo na tina yiru umuro nnit unan lidau, nanere wang tiba kuru tiyiru umuro nnit kitene kani.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Nene nbele ule ulirue, nuana nilime nin nishono, nya kidowo nin mii iwasa isu ugadu kipin tigo Kutellẹ ba, nanere wang kidowo in bijuzu wasa kisu ugadun kin salin bijuzu ba.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Yeneng! Nbellin minu kidegen kanga na ki nyeshin. Na vat bitari ba kuba, vat bite ima kpiliwu nari.
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 Ima kpiliwu nari nin kubi cingiling, nini kpesh nin niyizi, nin wulsunu kulantun nimaline. Bara ba dunu, ima nin fiwu anan kul nin nidowon salin bijuzu, ima nin kpiliwu nari.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 Umaso gbas kidowo kin bijuzu shon usalin bijuzu, kidowo nkul shon kin sali nkul.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 Asa kin bijuzue nshono kin salin bijuzue, kidowo nkul shono usali nkul, kubi konere uliru ulenge na iwa nyertin manin kulu, ''Imila ukul nan nya nnasara''
But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? (Hadēs g86)
56 Lito nkul kulaperi, a likara kulapi udukari.
The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
57 Vat nin nani, liburi libo bit di kiti Kutellẹ, ulenge na ana ni nari unasara nan nya NCikilari bite, Yisa Kristi!
but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Bara nani, nuana insu ni nilime nan nishono, yisinan nin nakara, sa ucancanu, ko kome kubi ikpizin ngbardang nan. nya katwa NCikilare, bara iyiru na katwa mine kitin Cikilare maso kahem ba.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
