1 Corinthians 15
1 Moreouer brethren, I declare vnto you the Gospel, which I preached vnto you, which ye haue also receiued, and wherein ye continue,
Lino ndayanda kuti kuzibikane akulindinwe, nobakwesu, makani ngindakamwambila alimwi ngimwimikilide.
2 And whereby ye are saued, if ye keepe in memorie, after what maner I preached it vnto you, except ye haue beleeued in vaine.
Alimwi ngimufutulwa awo, na mwajatisya majwi ngindakamukambawukila, kunze kwakuti mwakasyoma chitawo.
3 For first of all, I deliuered vnto you that which I receiued, how that Christ died for our sinnes, according to the Scriptures,
Nkambo ndakamwabila nchindakatambula lutanzi, ikuti Kkilisito wakafwida zibi zyesu mbuli malembe mbwaamba,
4 And that he was buried, and that he arose the third day, according to the Scriptures,
ikuti wakazikwa akuti wakabusigwa mubuzuba bwatatu mbuli malembe mbwaamba.
5 And that he was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue.
Kkilisito wakalibonya kuliSifasi, akuli balikumi;
6 After that, he was seene of more then fiue hudreth brethren at once: whereof many remaine vnto this present, and some also are asleepe.
mpawo wakalibonya kulibakwesu balimyanda musanu kuchindi chimwi. Bayingi babo bachili bawumi, pesi bamwi bakafwa.
7 After that, he was seene of Iames: then of all the Apostles.
Mpawo wakalibonya kuliJemusi akubatumwa boonse.
8 And last of all he was seene also of me, as of one borne out of due time.
Kumamanino azyoonse, wakalibonya kulindime, kukabunga mbulimuntu wakazyalwa kalimbwelule.
9 For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not meete to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
Nkaambo ndime munini wabo boonse batumwa. Tandelede kwamba kutegwa mutumwa nkambo ndakapenzya mbungano yaLeza.
10 But by the grace of God, I am that I am: and his grace which is in me, was not in vaine: but I laboured more aboundantly then they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.
Pesi nkambo kaluzyalo lwaLeza ndili nzindilinzizyo, alimwi luzyalo lwakwe mulindime te lwakaba lwabuyo pe. Pesi ndakabeleka changuzu kwinda boonse. Asi kakutensi ndime pe, pesi nduzyalo lwaLeza olo lulandime.
11 Wherefore, whether it were I, or they, so we preach, and so haue ye beleeued.
Nkikako na ndime na kuti mbabo, twaka kambawuka alimwi mwakasanduka.
12 Now if it be preached, that Christ is risen from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Lino na kula kambawukwa kuti Kkilisito wakabusigwa kuzwa kubafu, lino nkambonzi bamwi banu nibamba kuti bubuke bwabafu?
13 For if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
Pesi na takwe bubuke bwabafu, chamba kuti olo Kkilisito takwe nakabusigwa kubafu.
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vaine, and your faith is also vaine.
Alimwi na Kkilisito tabukide kubafu, nkikako kukambawuka kwesu nkwabuyo, alimwi lusyomo lwesu ndwabuyo.
15 And we are found also false witnesses of God: for we haue testified of God, that he hath raised vp Christ: whome he hath not raised vp, if so be the dead be not raised.
Alubo, tulajanika katuli bakamboni bakubeja atala aLeza, nkambo twakapa bukamboni bwakuti Leza wakamubusya Kkilisito kuzwa kubafu. Pesi katamubusizye pe, na ndisimpe kuti bafwide tababukide pe.
16 For if the dead be not raised, then is Christ not raised.
Nkambo na bafu tababukide, alakwe Kkilisito takabukide pe.
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine: ye are yet in your sinnes.
Alimwi na Kkilisito tabukide, lusyomo lwanu ndwabuyo alimwi muchili muzibi zyanu.
18 And so they which are a sleepe in Christ, are perished.
Chaamba kuti abo bafwa muliKkilisito abalabo bakafwidilila.
19 If in this life onely wee haue hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.
Kuti kakulikuti bulangizi bwesu bulimuliKkilisito, kubantu boonse twelede kufwidwa insoni.
20 But nowe is Christ risen from the dead, and was made the first fruites of them that slept.
Pesi lino Kkilisito wakbusigwa kuzwa kubafu mbuli muchelo mutazi wabaabo boona.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
Nkambo lufu lwakaza amuntu, amuntu lubo bubuki bwabafu buyosika.
22 For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue,
Mbuli kuti muliAdamu woonse muntu ulafwa, amuliKkilisito woonse ulaba muumi.
23 But euery man in his owne order: the first fruites is Christ, afterward, they that are of Christ, at his comming shall rise againe.
Pesi umwi awumwi mumabambe akwe: Kkilisito, ulinguwe muchelo mutanzi, aboonse abo balimuli Kkilisito bayoba bawumi kukuboola kwakwe.
24 Then shalbe the end, when he hath deliuered vp the kingdome to God, euen the Father, when he hath put downe all rule, and all authoritie and power.
Ayooba ngimamanino, awo nayojosya bwami kuliLeza Taata. Elyo nayolobya bwendelezi abaami abasinguzu.
25 For he must reigne till hee hath put all his enemies vnder his feete.
Nkambo ulelede kwendelezya kusikila akabike basinkondonyina boonse kunsi azituta zyakwe.
26 The last enemie that shalbe destroyed, is death.
Sinkondonyina wamamanino ngwayolobya ndufu.
27 For he hath put downe all things vnder his feete. (And when he saith that all things are subdued to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put downe all things vnder him.)
Nkambo, “wakabika zintu zyoonse kumawulu akwe.” Pesi naamba kuti “wakabika zintu zyoonse,” zilantanganana kuti ezi tazilikubikilizya oyo wakabika zintu kunsi lyakwe.
28 And when all things shalbe subdued vnto him, then shall the Sonne also himselfe be subiect vnto him, that did subdue all things vnder him, that God may be all in all.
Kuti zintu zyoonse zyakabikwa kunsi lyakwe, we mwana lwakwe uyoba kunsi lyayoyo wakabika zintu kunsi lyakwe, kuti Leza akabe nguwe muli zyoonse.
29 Els what shall they doe which are baptized for dead? if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for dead?
Na kuti niinzi nchibayochita aabo bakabbabbatizigwa kulufu? Kuti na bafu takwe nibayoobusigwa, nkaambonzi nibayobbabbatizigilwa ambabo?
30 Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre?
Nkambonzi nituli mukufwa chiindi achiindi?
31 By your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly.
Ndilafwa buzuba abuzuba! Eechi nichonzyo mbuli kulikankayizya kwangu mulindinwe, ndundilalo muliKkilisito Jesu Mwami wangu.
32 If I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after ye maner of men, what aduantageth it me, if the dead be not raised vp? let vs eate and drinke: for to morowe we shall die.
Ninzi nchindijana, kuzwa kumaboneno abuntu, kanzonga ndakalwana abbulu wangombe kuEfeso, nkukuti bafu tababuki? “Atulye tunywe nkaambo junza tulafwa.”
33 Be not deceiued: euill speakings corrupt good maners.
Mutenwi pe: “Kabunga kabi kalajaya kupona kulikabotu.”
34 Awake to liue righteously, and sinne not: for some haue not ye knowledge of God, I speake this to your shame.
Mupone kabotu! Mupone buumi bwakululama mutendeli anembo akubisya nkaambo bamwi banu tabakwe luzibo lwaLeza. Ndamwambila eechi kuti ndimusye nsoni.
35 But some man will say, Howe are the dead raised vp? and with what body come they foorth?
Pesi umwi ulamba kuti, “Ani babusigwa byeni bafu, alimwi bayoba amibili ilibyeni?”
36 O foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it die.
Inwebo nobafubafuba eecho nchimubyala tachikonzyi kuba abuumi chatafwa.
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shalbe, but bare corne as it falleth, of wheat, or of some other.
Nchimwakabyala nachensi ngumubili uyoba pesi inseke itakamene. Ngelakonzya kuba witi na chimbi chintu.
38 But God giueth it a body at his pleasure, euen to euery seede his owne body,
Pesi uyoyipa mubili mbuli mbwasala, akulimwi nseke mubili wayo.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beastes, and another of fishes, and another of birdes.
Tenyama yoonse pe ikozyene, pesi, kulimubili umwi kubantu, amubili wabanyama, amubili wabayuni, amubili wabaswi.
40 There are also heauenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but the glorie of the heauenly is one, and the glorie of the earthly is another.
Kuli lubo mibili yakujulu amibili yansi. Pesi bulemu bwamubili wakujulu musyobo umwi abulemu wamubili wansi ngumbi.
41 There is another glorie of the sunne, and another glorie of the moone, and another glorie of the starres: for one starre differeth from another starre in glorie.
Kulibulemu bumwi bwazuba abulemu bumwi bwamweezi, abulemu bwanyenyezi. Nkunkuti imwi inyenyezi busiyene ayimw.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The bodie is sowen in corruption, and is raysed in incorruption.
Mbukuyoba akububuke bwabafu. Echo chibyala chila loba achibusigwa tachilobi.
43 It is sowen in dishonour, and is raysed in glory: it is sowen in weakenesse, and is raysed in power.
Chakabyalwa mumasampu; chilabusigwa mubulemu. Chakabyalwa mukukompama, chiyobusigwa munguzu.
44 It is sowen a naturall body, and is raysed a spirituall body: there is a naturall body, and there is a spirituall body.
Chakabyalwa mumubili uboneka; chiyobusigwa mumubili wamuuya. Kuti kakuli mubili uboneka, mpuli alawo mubili wamuuya.
45 As it is also written, The first man Adam was made a liuing soule: and the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit.
Nchikulembedwe kuti, “Adamu mutanzi wakaba muuya upona.” Adamu wa mamanino wakaba muuya upa buumi.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall.
Pesi wamuuya te nguwe wakasanguna kusika pesi wanyama, mpawo wamuuya.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man is the Lord from heauen.
Muntu mutanzi ngwansi, wakalengwa alusuko. Muntu wabili ngwakujulu.
48 As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly.
Ulimbuli woyo wakalengwa kulusuko, kuti abe mbuli abo babumbwa kulusuko, amuntu wakujulu mbwabede, ambuli baabo bakujulu.
49 And as we haue borne the image of the earthly, so shall we beare the image of the heauenly.
Mbuli mbukwakakuzyalwa chiimo chamuntu walusuko, tuyoozyala chiimo chamuntu wakujulu.
50 This say I, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God, neither doeth corruption inherite incorruption.
Lino ndamba kuti, nobakwesu, eyo nyama abulowa tazikonzyi kukona Bwami bwaLeza.
51 Behold, I shewe you a secret thing, We shall not all sleepe, but we shall all be changed,
Amulange! ndamwambila lwaano lwasimpe lusisikide: Tatukoyoowona pe toonse, pesi tonse tuyosandulwa.
52 In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shalbe raysed vp incorruptible, and we shalbe changed.
Tuyosandulwa mukayindi kanini, mbuli kulaba kwaliso, kumweembo wamamanino. Nkaambo mweembo uyolila, elyo bafu bayoobuka amubili utafwiki, alimwi tuyosandulwa.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortall must put on immortalitie.
Nkaambo oyu mubili ufwa welede kusama oyo utafwi.
54 So when this corruptible hath put on incorruption, and this mortall hath put on immortalitie, then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swallowed vp into victorie.
Pesi na mubili ufwa wakusama oyo utafwi, alimwi na mutunta wasamikwa oyo muumi, mpawo tuyooba mbuli eecho chakambwa chilembedwe kuti,” Lufu lwakamenwa mukuzunda.”
“Lufu, lulikuli luzundo lwako. Lufu, lulikuli lumoola lwako?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sinne: and ye strength of sinne is the Lawe.
Lumoola lwafu nchibi, anguzu zyachibi mulawu.
57 But thankes be vnto God, which hath giuen vs victorie through our Lord Iesus Christ.
Pesi ngalumbwe Leza, wakatupa kuzunda kwiinda muMwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito!
58 Therefore my beloued brethren, be ye stedfast, vnmoueable, aboundant alwayes in the worke of the Lord, forasmuch as ye knowe that your labour is not in vaine in the Lord.
Nkikaako, nobakwesu, ngamuyime akutasunzulwa. Ngamukkalilile mumilimu yaMwami, nkaambo mulizi kuti milimu yanu muMwami teesi yabuyo pe.
