1 Akoritho 15
1 Nambeambe nendakuwakombosha, ainja na alombo, nnani ya injili yaihubiriwa, ambayo mwaipokile ni yema nakwe.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also all of you have received, and wherein all of you stand;
2 Ni katika injili yee mwatilopolelwa, kati mwalikamwa imara neno lyaniwahubirie mwenga, ila muaminiya bure.
By which also all of you are saved, if all of you keep in memory what (logos) I preached unto you, unless all of you have believed in vain.
3 Kati kwanza yaniipokii kwa umuhimu niiletike kwinu kati ya ibile: panga bokana na maandiko, Kristo awile kwa ajili ya sambi yitu,
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 bokana na maandiko atisikwa, ni panga atifufuka lisoba lya tatu.
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 Ni panga ywamtokii Kefa, boka po kwa balo komi ni ibele.
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 Boka po atikwatokiya kwa muda umo ba'ainja na alombo zaidi ya mia tano. Baingi babe babile bado akoto, lakini baadhi yabe bagonjike lugono.
After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 Boka po atikumtokya Yakobo, boka po mitume yote.
After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 Mwisho wa bote, atikunitokya nenga, kati yee kwa mwana ywabile belekwa katika wakati ubile kwaa sahihi.
And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
9 Kwa kuwa nenga na nchunu kati ya mitume. Nastahili kwaa kemelwa mtume, kwa sababu natilitesa likanisa lya Nnongo.
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 Lakini kwa neema ya Nnongo nibile kati yanibile, na neema yake kwango yaibile kwaa bure. Badala yake, nipangite bidii kuliko wote. Lakini ibile kwaa nenga, ila neema ya Nnongo ibile nkati yango.
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Kwa eyo kati ni nenga au bembe, twati lihubiri nyoo na tutiaminiya nyoo.
Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so all of you believed.
12 Nambeambe kati Kristo atihubiriwa kati ywafufuka kwa bandu babile mu'kiwo, ibe namani baadhi yinu mubaye ntopo ufufuo wa bandu babile mu'kiwo?
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Lakini mana ntopo Ufufuo wa bandu babile mu'kiwo, bai hata Kristo afufuka kwaa kae.
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 Ni mana Kristo afufuka kwaa, nga nyoo mahubiri yitu ni bure, na imani yitu ni bure.
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Ni twapatikana kuwa mashahidi ba ubocho kumhusu Nnongo, kwa sababu twatimshuhudia Nnongo kinchogo, baya atimfufua Kristo, wakati atikumfufua kwaa.
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 Kati mana itei bandu bakiwo bafufuliwa kwaa, Yesu kae afufuliwa kwaa.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 Ni kati Kristo afufuliwa kwaa, imani yinu nga ya bure na bado mubile katika sambi yinu.
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; all of you are yet in your sins.
18 Nga nyoo hata balo babile batiwaa katika Kristo kae batiangamia.
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 Mana itei kwa maisha aga kichake tubile ni ujasiri kwa wakati woisa nkati ya Kristo, bandu bote, twenga niwakuhurumilwa zaidi ya bandu bote.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 Lakini nambeambe Kristo atifufuka boka mu'kiwo, matunda ya kwanza ya balo babile mu'kiwo.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept.
21 Kwa mana kiwo kiisile pitya bandu, pitya kae bandu ni ufufuo wa bandu.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Kwa mana kati katika Adamu bote batiwaa, nga nyoo kae katika Kristo bote balowa pangika akoto.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 Lakini kila yumo kayika mpango wake: Kristo, matunda ga kwanza, ni boka po balo babile ba Kristo bapangite ukoto wakati woisa kwake.
But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Nga po walowa pangika mwisho, palyo Kristo paakabidhi upwalume kwa Nnongo Tate. Ayee nga palyo palowa komesha utawala wote ni mamlaka yote ni ngupu.
Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 Kwa kuwa lazima atawale mpaka paalowa beka maadui bake bote pae ya nyayo yake.
For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 Adui wa mwisho uharibiwa ni kiwo.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 Kwa mana “abekite kila kilebe pae ya nyayo yabe.” Lakini paibaya “abekite kila kilebe,” ni wazi panga yee iusishe kwaa balo babekite kila kilebe pae yake mwene.
For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 Wakati ilebe yote ibekilwe pae yake, boka po mwana mwene alowa bekwa pae kwake ywembe ywabile atikuibeka ilebe yote pae yake. Ayee nga ipangike ili panga Nnongo Tate abe yote nkati ya gote.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Au kae bapanga namani balo baabatizwile kwa ajili ya bandu ba kiwo? Kati bandu ba kiwo bafufuliwa kwaa kabisa, kwa namani kae batibatizwa kwa ajili yabe?
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 na kwa namani tubile katika hatari kila saa?
And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31 Ainja ni alombo bango, petya kuisifu kwango katika mwenga, ambayo nibile nayo katika Kristo Yesu Ngwana witu, natangaza nyoo: nawaa kila lisoba.
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.
32 Ifaika namani, katika mtazamo wa bandu, kati bandu ba'kiwo bafufuliwa kwaa? “Leka bai tulyee ni nywaa, kwa mana malabo twalowa waa.”
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantages it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; in order to morrow we die.
33 Kana mulongele ubocho: “Makundi ganoite kwaa uharibia tabia inoyite.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 “Mube na kiasi! mutame katika haki! kana muyendelee panga sambi. Kwa mana baadhi yinu mubile kwaa ni maarifa ya Nnongo. Nabaya nyoo kwa oni yinu.
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
35 Lakini mundu ywenge abaya,”Jinsi gani bandu ba kiwo balowa fufuliwa? Na bembe balowa isa na aina gani ya yega?”
But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Wenga wa nlalo muno! Chelo chaukipandile kiweza kwaa kuanza kukua ila kiwile.
You fool, that which you sow is not quickened, except it die:
37 Na chelo cha ukipandike ni yega kwaa ambao walowa kua, ila mbeyu yaichipua. Iweza kuwa ngano au kilebe chenge.
And that which you sow, you sow not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 Lakini Nnongo aipeya yega kati yaapendile, na katika kila mbeyu yega yake mwene.
But God gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 Yega yote ilandana kwaa, ila, kwabile na yega imo wa bandu, ni yega yenge ya anyama, na yega yenge ya iyuni, ni yenge kwa ajili ya omba.
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 Pabile na yega ya kumaunde kae ni yega ya mu'dunia. Lakini utukufu wa yega ya kumaunde ni aina yimo na utukufu wa mu'dunia ni wenge.
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 Kwabile ni utukufu umo wa lilumu, ni utukufu wenge wa mwei, ni utukufu wenge wa tondwa. Kwa mana tondwa yimo itofautiana ni tondwa yenge katika utukufu.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in glory.
42 Nga nyoo ubile kae ni ufufuo wa bandu ba kiwo. Chelo chakipandwile, na chakiotile kiaribika kwaa.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 Kipandilwe katika matumizi ya kawaida, kioteshwa katika utukufu. Kipandilwe katika udhaifu, kioteshwa katika ngufu.
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 Kipandilwe katika yega wa asili, kioteshwa katika yega wa kiroho. Kati kwabile ni yega wa asili, kubile ni yega ya kiroho kae.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 Nga nyoo iandikilwe kae,”Mundu wa kwanza Adamu atipangika roho yaatama.” Adamu wa mwisho atipangika roho yaitoa ukoto.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a life-giving spirit. (pneuma)
46 Lakini wa kiroho aisa kwaa kwanza ila wa asili, ni boka po wa kiroho.
Nevertheless that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 Mundu wa kwanza ni wa dunia, atitengenezwa kwa mavumbi. Mundu wanaibele aboka kumaunde.
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 Kati ya yolo ywapangilwe kwa mavumbi, nga nyoo pia balo bapangilwe kwa mavumbi. Kati ya mundu wa kumaunde abile, nga nyoo kae balo ba kumaunde.
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 Kati ambavyo tupapike mfano wa mundu wa mavumbi, tupapike kae mfano wa mundu wa kumaunde.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Nambeambe naabakiya, ainja na alombo bango, panga yega na mwai iweza kwaa kuurithi upwalume wa Nnongo. Wala wakuharibika kurithi wauharibika kwaa.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Linga! Naabakiya mwenga siri ya kweli: Twawile kwaa bote, ila bote twalowa badilishwa.
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 Twalowa badilishwa katika muda, katika kufumba ni kufumbua kwa liyo, katika tarumbeta lya mwisho. Kwa kuwa tarumbeta yalowa lela, ni banda babile mu'kiwo balowa fufuliwa na hali ya haribika kwaa, na twalowa badilishwa.
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 Kwani awoo waharibika ni lazima uwale wa haribika kwaa, ni wolo wa waa lazima uwale wa waa kwaa.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 Lakini muda woo wa haribika walowa walikwa wa haribika kwaa, ni wolo wa kiwo walowa jingya mu'kiwo, nga waisa msema ambao uandikilwe,”Kiwo chamezwile katika ushindi.”
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying (logos) that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Uchungu wa kiwo ni sambi, ni nguvu ya sambi ni saliya.
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 Lakini shukrani kwa Nnongo, ywatupeile twenga ushindi pitya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo!
But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Kwa eyo, apendwa ainja na alombo bango, mube imara na kana mlendeme. Daima muipange kazi ya Ngwana, kwa sababu mutangite kuwa kazi yinu katika Ngwana ni yabure kwaa.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be all of you steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as all of you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
