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,
Hinu, valongo, nigana kuvakumbusa lila Lilovi la Bwina lenivakokosili, na nyenye mukayipokili na kuyima cha kukangamala mugati yaki.
2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
Kwa njila yaki msanguliwi, ngati mukamula malovi genivakokosili. Manya ngati mwasadiki waka.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
Nene navapelili mambu ga mana neju genapokili namwene: Kuvya Kilisitu afwili ndava ya kubuda kwitu ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi,
4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
avikiwi mulitinda, akayuka ligono la datu ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi,
5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
amuhumalili Petili, na kangi avahumalili vamitumi kumi na vavili vala.
6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
Kangi avahumalili valongo neju ya miya mhanu kwa pamonga wa valanda, vamahele vakona wumi, nambu vangi vafwili.
7 then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
Lukumbi lungi amuhumalili Yakobo na mewa avahumalili vamitumi voha.
8 and last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also.
Pamwishu anihumalili nene, nene mwenavi ngati mundu mwavelekiwi lepi kwa lukumbi lwaki.
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.
Muni nene mdebe neju pagati ya mitumi, na niganikiwa lepi kukemelewa mtumi, muni naying'aisi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vavi vandu va Chapanga.
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.
Nambu kwa ubwina wa Chapanga, nivii ngati chanivii, kwa ubwina wa Chapanga kwangu wavi lepi waka. Lepi kuvya nihengili lihengu kwa kukangamala kuliku voha, lepi nene nambu ubwina wa Chapanga weuhenga lihengu na nene.
11 Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Nambu hati naha, yivyai vene ndi vevikokosa amala nene ndi mwenikokosa na chenichi ndi chetikokosa na nyenye ndi chemwisadika.
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?
Yikavya tikokosa kuvya Kilisitu ayukiswi kuhuma mulifwa, ndava kyani pagati yinu mwijova kuvya kawaka uyukiswa wa vevafwili?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
Ngati kawaka uyukiswa wa vevafwili, hinu na mwene Kilisitu ayukili lepi,
14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
na ngati Kilisitu ayukili lepi, makokoselu gitu gangamanyikana na sadika yinu yangali chindu.
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.
Neju pa genago tete ngativii tijova udese palongolo ya Chapanga, muni tajovili kuvya Chapanga amuyukisi Kilisitu kuhuma mulifwa, nambu amuyukisi lepi, ngati ndi chakaka vevafwili viyukiswa lepi, ndi Kilisitu yukiswa.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:
Muni ngati chakaka vevafwili nakuyukiswa, ndi na Kilisitu ayukili lepi.
17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Ngati Kilisitu ayukili lepi, ndi sadika yinu ya waka, mwakona muyendelela kumbudila Chapanga.
18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Neju ya genago, vala voha vevafwili kuni vakumsadika Kilisitu vayagili.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
Ngati huvalila yitu mu Kilisitu na yivala wumi uwu wa hinu, hinu tete vandu kuhengewa lipyana kuliku vandu voha pamulima.
20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
Nambu uchakaka ndi uwu, kuvya Kilisitu ayukili kuhuma mulifwa ndi kulangisa kuvya voha vevafwili yati viyukiswa.
21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
Muni, lifwa labwelili na mundu mmonga, na mewa na uyukiswa kuhuma vafwili ubwelili na mundu mmonga.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Ngati vandu kuwungana na Adamu vandu voha vifwa, mewawa voha yati viyukiswa kwa kuwungana na Kilisitu.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
Nambu kila mundu na Lukumbi lwaki, Kilisitu mtumbula wa uyukiso, kangi vevavi vaki ndi pala peibwela.
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.
Pa genago, mwishu yati uhika lukumbi Kilisitu yati akumgotolela Dadi Chapanga Unkosi, peiwusa kutali kila mpungu wa ulongosi na mpungu wa uhotola na makakala.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
Muni Kilisitu iganikiwa alongosayi mbaka Chapanga pakuvagwisa makoko vaki na kuvavika pahi ya magendelu gaku.
26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
Likoko la mwishu kuyongomeswa ndi lifwa.
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.
Muni, Mayandiku gijova, “Chapanga avikili vindu vyoha pahi ya magendelu gaki.” Nambu Mayandiku Gamsopi pegijova, “Vindu vyoha vivikiwi pahi ya magendelu gaki avitalalilayi.” Ndi Chakaka Chapanga nakuyingila mulilundu lenilo la vindu, muni mwene ndi akuvivika pahi ya Kilisitu.
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.
Nambu vindu vyoha pevivikwa pahi ya ulongosi wa Kilisitu, na Mwana mwene yati akujivika pahi ya Chapanga, mwavikili goha pahi ya ulongosi waki, ndi Chapanga alongosa panani ya goha.
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?
Ngati kawaka kuyukiswa, wu, vandu vala vevibatiziwa ndava ya vevafwili vahuvalila kupewa kyani? Ngati vevafwili viyukiswa lepi, ndava kyani kubatiziwa ndava ya vene?
30 why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
Na kwa upandi ndava kyani tikujiyoka kila lukumbi?
31 I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Valongo, nene nikulilola lifwa lukumbi lwoha! Ulumba wenivii nawu ndi kuwungana Kilisitu Yesu BAMBU witu mwakunikita nikokosa lijambu ili.
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.
Ngati lilengu langu ngalivyai la chimundu, kula kukomana kwangu na vandu vevavili ngati hinyama hikali apa pa Efeso ngakuvili chindu choki? Ngati vevafwili nakuyuka ndi, “Tilya na kunywa, muni chilau yati tifwa.”
33 Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
Mkoto kukongeka. “Vankozi vahakau vihalabisa uyovelu wa mundu.”
34 Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame.
Muyimuka! Mutumbula kutama bwina, na muleka kumbudila Chapanga. Vangi pagati yinu vammanyili lepi Chapanga. Nikuvajovela soni yivaha kwinu!
35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
Pangi mundu yati ikota, “Vevafwili yati viyukiswa wuli? Yati vivya na higa yoki?”
36 Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
Genago ndi makotelu ga uhomela! Ukamija mbeyu, changali kufwa hoti yivya nakumela.
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;
Chaumija ndi mbeyu yene, pangi nganu amala mabenu gangi, nambu lepi lumelelu lwoha ubwela kumela mwanakandahi.
38 but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
Chapanga akuyipela higa yeayiganili mwene mbeyu yeniyo, kila mbeyu yipewa higa yaki ya mwene.
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.
Higa ya viwumbi vyoha ziwanangana lepi. Vandu vana higa yavi na hinyama hina higa yavi na videge vina higa yavi na somba zina higa zavi.
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.
Yivili higa ya kunani kwa Chapanga na ya pamulima, ubwina wa higa ya kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wungi, na ubwina wa higa ya pamulima ndi wungi.
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.
Lilanga lina ubwina waki, na mwehi na ndondo, hati ndondo yina ubwina waki hilekengana kwa ubwina.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Ndi chayivili kuvavala kuyukiswa kwa vevafwili. Ndi ngati mbeyu, higa yizikwa pahi uvya chakuwola, nambu uyukiswa changali kuwola.
43 it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
Higa yizikwa cha soni, uyukiswa cha ukulu, kuzikwa namuna ya kulenda, uyukiswa uyva kwa makakala.
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].
Tizikwa kwa muhiga yativelekewa nayu, pauyukiswa ndi higa ya chimpungu. Yivili higa ya magono goha na higa chimpungu.
45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Mundu wa kutumbula, Adamu avili mundu mwana wumi,” Nambu Adamu wa mwishu ndi Mpungu mwakuvapela vandu wumi.
46 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
Nambu nakulongolela higa ya chimpungu, nambu ndi wula wa wetivelekiwi nawu, ndi kangi wula wa chimpungu.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
Adamu wa kutumbula kuwumbwa kuhuma muludaka lwa pamulima, ahumili pahi paludaka, Adamu pili ahumili kunani kwa Chapanga.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Vandu voha vevavili va pamulima vavili ngati mundu mwawumbiwi kuhuma muludaka, nambu vandu vala vevavili va kunani kwa Chapanga vavili ngati yula mwahumili kwa Chapanga.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Ngati chetiwanangini na yula mwawumbiwi kwa ludaka, mewawa yati tiwanangana na mwenuyo mwahumili kunani kwa Chapanga.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Hinu, valongo, nijova naha, chila chechakitiwi kwa higa na ngasi nakuhotola kuyingila mu Unkosi wa Chapanga, na higa yeyiwola nakuhotola kuyingila pandu pa higa yangawola.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Muyuwanila, nikuvajovela gamfiyu aga, tete yati tifwa lepi, nambu tete tavoha yati ting'anambuswa,
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.
Mambu aga yati gihumila lukumbi lwa lipenenga la mwishu pelipyuliwa. Chigafula kukupila na kulola. Muni lipenenga peyipyula, vevafwili yati viyukiswa vakotoka kufwa kavili na tete yati ting'anamuswa.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Muni higa iyi yakahalibika ndi yiganikiwa ying'anamuka changahalibika, higa yayihotola kufwa yikoto kufwa.
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.
Hinu, higa iyi yeyifwa ying'anamuka nakuvya payivya nakuwola, na chechifwa pachivya nakufwa, penapo ndi palitimilika lilovi lelayandikwi, “Lifwa likomiwi, uhotoleka ukatimiliki!”
“Lifwa, kuhotola kwaku kuvili koki? Lifwa makakala gaku ga kuleta mvinisu uvi koki?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
Lifwa lipewa makakala ga kuvinisa kuhuma mukumbudila chapanga, mewawa kubuda kupata makakala mu malagizu.
57 but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nambu timsengusa Chapanga mwakutipela uhotola kwa njila ya BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
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.
Hinu, valongo vangu vaganu, muyima chakukangamala na changanyugusika. Magono goha muyendelela kujiwusa mulihengu la BAMBU, ndava mmanya kuvya lihengu lemwihenga kwa BAMBU liyaga lepi waka.
