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.
But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which 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 announced to you as the glad tidings, ) unless indeed ye have 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 to you, in the first place, what also I had 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 was raised 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 most remain until now, but some also have 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 an abortion, 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, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly 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 God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which [was] towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but 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, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have 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 is raised from among [the] dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead?
13 Andi na ufitu nanan kul duku, na ame Kristi wang ina fiyaghe ba.
But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:
14 Andi na ina fiya Kristi kuba, to uwazi bite nso hem, a uyinu sa uyenu mine tutung nso hem.
but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.
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.
And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed [those that are] dead are not raised.
16 Bara andi na ifiya anan kul ba, ame Kristi wang na ina fiyaghe ba.
For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;
17 Andi na ina fiya Kristi ku ba, uyinu sa uyenu mine nso hemọ, inin du nan nya nalapi mine.
but if Christ be not 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 indeed also those who have 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 in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.
20 Nani ina fiya Kristi ku nan nya nanan kul, nonon cizinu na lenge na ina kuzu.
(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen 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 also resurrection of [those that are] dead.
22 Nafo na unuzun Adamu vat naku, nanere wang unuzun Kristi vat ma se ulai.
For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall 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 rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the 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 the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him [who is] God and Father; when he shall have annulled 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 until he put all enemies under his feet.
26 Unan ni vira nimaline na ima musuzu vat ukulari.
[The] last enemy [that] is annulled [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 has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, [it is] evident that [it is] except him who put all things in subjection to 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.
But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)
29 Andi na nani ba nyizari inung alenge alenge na idin tizu nani ubaptizima bara inung?
Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?
30 Iyaghari nta tissosin nan nya fiu ko kome kubi?
Why do we also endanger ourselves 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.
Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? 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 communications corrupt good manners.
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 up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of 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 body do they come?
36 Anung anan tanni! Imong ilenge na ibilisa na iba cizunu tikuna ba andi na ibijo ba.
Fool; what thou sowest is not quickened unless 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 what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:
38 Kutellẹ ma ni fining kidowo ka na ame fere, tutung ko fome fimus nin kinme kidowe.
and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.
39 Nidowo dizi ngangang, kin nit usurne duku, kin finawan ntene duku, kin kuyin duku, a kin fiboa yita ku.
Every flesh [is] not the same flesh, but one [is] 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.
And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:
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.
one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Nanere wang ufizu nanan kul. Ibila kining nan nya biju, iba fiu kining nin salin biju.
Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
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 dishonour, 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 [one].
45 Nanere tutung ina nyertin, '' unit un cizune Adamu wa so unan lai,'' Adamu nimalin so uruhun nnizun lai.
Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
46 Na kin ruhuere wa tu kidaba kishowo nin kidughe kin ruhue nin da.
But that which is spiritual [was] not first, 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 out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out 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.
Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].
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 [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].
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.
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
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 shall not all fall asleep, 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 an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; 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 needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal 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 incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Lito nkul kulaperi, a likara kulapi udukari.
Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin 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 to God, who gives us the victory by 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.
So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in [the] Lord.
