1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,
Bandeko na ngai, nalingi sik’oyo kozongisa lisusu na makanisi na bino, Sango Malamu oyo nateyaki bino, oyo boyambaki, oyo bomipesi na yango,
2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
mpe oyo na nzela na yango bosili kobika, soki kaka bosimbi makasi Liloba oyo nateyaki bino; pamba te soki ezali bongo te, wana bondimelaki na bino kaka pamba.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
Liboso na nyonso, nateyaki bino mateya oyo ngai moko nazwaki: Klisto akufaki mpo na masumu na biso, kolanda Makomi;
4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
bakundaki Ye, mpe asekwaki na mokolo ya misato, ndenge Makomi elobaki yango liboso.
5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
Amonanaki epai ya Petelo; sima, epai ya bantoma zomi na mibale.
6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
Sima na yango, amonanaki epai ya bandeko koleka nkama mitano na mbala moko; mpe mingi kati na bango bazali nanu na bomoi kino na tango oyo, kasi bamosusu basila kokufa.
7 then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
Bongo amonanaki epai ya Jake, mpe epai ya bantoma nyonso.
8 and last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also.
Sima na bango nyonso, amonanaki mpe epai na ngai, lokola epai ya mwana matsombe,
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
pamba te nazali moke penza kati na bantoma; mpe nakoki kutu te kobengama ntoma, mpo ete nanyokolaki Lingomba ya Nzambe.
10 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.
Kasi na ngolu ya Nzambe, nazali oyo nazali lelo; mpe ngolu na Ye epai na ngai ezali ya pamba te. Kutu, nasalaki mosala mingi koleka bango nyonso; nzokande, ezali ngai te, kasi ezali nde ngolu ya Nzambe, oyo ezali elongo na ngai.
11 Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Na mokuse, ezala ngai to bango, biso nyonso toteyaka kaka Sango Malamu oyo, mpe ezali Sango Malamu yango nde bondimaki.
12 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?
Nzokande, soki toteyaka ete Klisto asekwaki kati na bakufi, ndenge nini bato mosusu kati na bino balobaka ete bakufi bakosekwa te?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
Soki bakufi bakosekwa te, wana Klisto mpe asekwaki te.
14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
Mpe soki Klisto asekwaki te, wana mateya na biso ezali na tina te, mpe kondima na bino ezali pamba.
15 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.
Mpe lisusu, soki ezali penza ya solo ete bakufi bakosekwa te, wana tozali batatoli ya lokuta na tina na Nzambe, pamba te totatoli lokuta na tina na Nzambe ete asekwisaki Klisto kati na bakufi. Nzokande soki ezali penza bongo ete bakufi bakosekwa te, wana Nzambe asekwisaki Yesu te.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:
Solo, soki bakufi bakosekwa te, wana Klisto mpe asekwaki te;
17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
mpe soki Klisto asekwaki te, wana kondima na bino ezali na tina te, bozali nanu kati na masumu na bino,
18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
mpe bato oyo bakufi kati na Klisto babungi mpo na libela.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
Soki totiaka elikya na Klisto kaka mpo na bomoi oyo, tozali penza bato na mawa koleka bato nyonso.
20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
Kasi, solo, Klisto asekwaki kati na bakufi: azali Mosekwi ya liboso kati na bakufi.
21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
Solo, lokola kufa eyaki na nzela ya moto moko, lisekwa mpe eyaki na nzela ya moto moko;
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
ndenge bato nyonso bakufaka kati na Adamu, ndenge wana mpe bato nyonso bakozwa bomoi kati na Klisto;
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
kasi moto na moto na tango na ye: Klisto akosekwa moto ya liboso; sima, tango akoya, bato oyo bazali ya Klisto bakosekwa.
24 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.
Sima na yango nde suka ekoya, tango Klisto akozongisa bokonzi na maboko ya Ye oyo azali Nzambe mpe Tata, sima na Ye kobebisa lokumu nyonso, bokonzi nyonso mpe nguya nyonso.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
Pamba te Klisto asengeli kokonza kino Nzambe akotia banguna na Ye nyonso na se ya matambe na Ye.
26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
Kufa nde ezali monguna ya suka, oyo ekobebisama.
27 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.
Pamba te atiaki biloko nyonso na se ya matambe na Ye. Kasi wana alobi: « Nyonso ezali na se ya bokonzi na Ye, » etalisami polele ete esengeli te kotanga Nzambe oyo atiaki nyonso na se ya bokonzi na Ye.
28 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.
Mpe sima na Nzambe kotia nyonso na se ya bokonzi na Ye, Ye moko Mwana akomitia na se ya bokonzi ya Nzambe oyo atiaki nyonso na se ya bokonzi na Ye, mpo ete Nzambe azala nyonso kati na bato nyonso.
29 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?
Soki lisekwa ezali te, bato oyo bazwaka libatisi mpo na bakufi bakosala nini? Soki bakufi bakosekwa te, mpo na nini bato bazwaki libatisi mpo na bango?
30 why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
Bongo biso, mpo na nini tokutanaka na makama tango nyonso?
31 I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Bandeko na ngai, mokolo na mokolo, nandimaka kokufa, wana namikumisaka na tina na bino kati na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
32 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.
Soki ezali kaka mpo na makambo ya bomoto nde nabundisaki banyama ya zamba kati na Efeso, litomba nini nazwaki? Soki bakufi bakosekwa te, « wana tika ete tolia mpe tomela, pamba te, lobi, tokokufa! »
33 Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
Bomikosa te: « Baninga mabe babebisaka bizaleli ya malamu! »
34 Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame.
Bozongela makanisi ya malamu na ndenge ekoki mpe botika kosala masumu, pamba te bato mosusu kati na bino bayebi Nzambe te; nazali koloba yango mpo na koyokisa bino soni.
35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
Kasi bato mosusu bakoki kotuna: « Bakufi bakosekwa ndenge nini? Bakozonga na bomoi na nzoto nini? »
36 Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
Bozangi nde mayele! Nkona oyo oloni ekoki te kozongela bomoi soki ekufi te.
37 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;
Mpe nkona oyo oloni ezali te nzoto oyo nzete ekozala na yango tango ekobima; kasi ezali mbuma ya pamba, tango mosusu mbuma ya ble to mbuma mosusu.
38 but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
Kasi ezali Nzambe nde apesaka yango nzoto oyo Ye moko abongisa, mpe apesaka nkona moko na moko nzoto na yango.
39 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.
Bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi ezalaka na lolenge moko te ya nzoto: ezali na bokeseni kati na nzoto ya bato, ya banyama, ya bandeke mpe ya mbisi.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
Ezali mpe na banzoto ya Likolo mpe na banzoto ya se; mpe kongenga ya banzoto ya Likolo ekeseni na kongenga ya banzoto ya se:
41 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.
moyi ezali na kongenga na yango, sanza ezali na kongenga na yango, minzoto mpe ezali na kongenga na yango; kutu monzoto moko ekeseni na monzoto mosusu na kongenga.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Boye, ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na lisekwa ya bakufi: ekundami nzoto oyo epolaka, kasi ekosekwa nzoto oyo epolaka te;
43 it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
ekundami nzoto ya soni, kasi ekosekwa nzoto ya lokumu; ekundami nzoto ya bolembu, kasi ekosekwa nzoto ya nguya;
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].
ekundami nzoto ya bomoto, kasi ekosekwa nzoto ya molimo. Soki nzoto ya bomoto ezali, nzoto ya molimo mpe ezali.
45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
Yango wana ekomama: « Moto ya liboso, Adamu, akomaki ekelamu na bomoi, azalaki na bomoi ya bomoto; » kasi Adamu ya suka akomaki Molimo oyo apesaka bomoi.
46 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
Ezali te bomoi ya molimo nde eyaki liboso, ezali nde bomoi ya bomoto; bomoi ya molimo eyaki na sima.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
Moto ya liboso asalemaki na putulu ya mabele, azali moto ya mabele; kasi moto ya mibale awutaka na Likolo.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Ndenge moto ya mabele azali, ndenge wana mpe bato ya mabele bazali; mpe ndenge moto ya Lola azali, ndenge wana mpe bato ya Lola bazali.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Mpe lokola tolataki elilingi ya moto ya mabele, tokolata mpe elilingi ya moto ya Lola.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Bandeko na ngai, nazali koyebisa bino ete nzoto ya mosuni mpe makila ekoki te kokota na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, mpe oyo epolaka ekoki te kosangana na oyo epolaka te.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Boyoka, nazali kotalisa bino mabombami: Biso nyonso, tokokufa te; kasi biso nyonso, tokobongolama,
52 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.
na mbalakata, noki penza, tango kelelo ya suka ekobeta. Pamba te kelelo ekobeta, bakufi bakosekwa na nzoto oyo epolaka te; bongo biso, tokobongolama.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Solo, oyo epolaka esengeli kolata kozanga kopola, mpe oyo ekufaka esengeli kolata kozanga kokufa.
54 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.
Tango oyo epolaka ekolata kozanga kopola, mpe oyo ekufaka ekolata kozanga kokufa, na tango wana nde Liloba oyo ya Makomi ekokokisama: « Elonga emeli kufa.
Oh kufa, wapi elonga na yo? Oh kufa, wapi nguya na yo? » (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
Nguya ya kufa ezali masumu, mpe nguya ya masumu ezali Mibeko.
57 but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kasi tika ete Nzambe apesamela matondi, pamba te apesaka biso elonga na nzela ya Nkolo na biso, Yesu-Klisto!
58 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.
Yango wana, bandeko balingami, botelema ngwi mpe bomitika te ete baningisa bino. Bokendaka tango nyonso liboso kati na mosala ya Nkolo, wana boyebi malamu ete mosala na bino kati na Nkolo ezali ya pamba te.
