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,
Zvino hama, ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai vhangeri randakakuparidzirai, iro ramakagamuchira uye ramakamira mariri.
2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
Nevhangeri irori munoponeswa, kana mukabatirira kwazvo pashoko randakakuparidzirai. Zvimwe makatenda pasina.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
Nokuti zvandakagamuchira sezvinokosha pakutanga ndizvo zvandakakupaiwo: kuti Kristu akafira zvivi zvedu sezvazvakanyorwa muMagwaro,
4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
kuti akavigwa, akamutswa pazuva rechitatu sezvazvakanyorwa muMagwaro,
5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
uye kuti akazviratidza kuna Petro, tevere kuna vane gumi navaviri.
6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
Mushure mezvo akazviratidza kuhama dzaipfuura mazana mashanu panguva imwe chete, vazhinji vavo vachiri vapenyu, kunyange zvazvo vamwe vavete.
7 then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
Ipapo akazozviratidza kuna Jakobho, mushure mezvo kuvapostori,
8 and last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also.
uye pakupedzisira akazozviratidza kwandiriwo, sokuna akazvarwa nguva isati yasvika.
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.
Nokuti ndiri muduku kuvapostori vose, uye handikodzeri kunzi mupostori, nokuti ndakatambudza kereke yaMwari.
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.
Asi nokuda kwenyasha dzaMwari ndiri zvandiri uye nyasha dzake kwandiri hadzina kuva pasina. Kwete, ndakashanda kupfuura vose, asi ndisiri ini, asi nyasha dzaMwari dzaiva neni.
11 Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Ipapo kunyange dai ndiri ini kana ivo, izvi ndizvo zvatinoparidza, uye izvi ndizvo zvamakatenda.
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?
Asi kana kuchiparidzwa kuchinzi Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, ko, vamwe venyu vangareva sei kuti hakuna kumutswa kwavakafa?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
Kana kusina kumutswa kwavakafa, saka naizvozvowo Kristu haana kumutswa.
14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
Zvino kana Kristu asina kumutswa, kuparidza kwedu hakuna maturo, saizvozvowo nokutenda kwenyu.
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.
Pamusoro pezvo, tichaonekwa tiri zvapupu zvaMwari zvenhema, nokuti takapupura kuti Mwari akamutsa Kristu kubva kuvakafa. Asi haana kumumutsa kana zvirokwazvo vakafa vasingamutswi.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:
Nokuti kana vakafa vasingamutswi, saizvozvowo Kristu haana kumutswa kuvakafa.
17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Uye kana Kristu asina kumutswa, kutenda hakubatsiri; muchiri muzvivi zvenyu.
18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Naizvozvowo vose vakafa muna Kristu vakatorasikawo.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
Kana tine tariro muna Kristu nokuda kwoupenyu huno chete, tinonzwisa urombo kupfuura vanhu vose.
20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
Asi, zvirokwazvo Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, akava chibereko chokutanga chavavete.
21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
Nokuti sezvo rufu rwakauya kubudikidza nomunhu mumwe, kumuka kuvakafa kwakauyawo kubudikidza nomunhu mumwe.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Nokuti, sokufa kwakaita vanhu vose muna Adhamu, naizvozvowo muna Kristu vose vachaitwa vapenyu.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
Asi mumwe nomumwe padzoro rake: Kristu chibereko chokutanga; ipapo paanouya, tevere vose vanova vake.
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.
Ipapo magumo achasvika, panguva yaachazopa umambo kuna Mwari Baba mushure mokunge aparadza ushe hwose, ukuru hwose nesimba rose.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
Nokuti anofanira kubata ushe kusvikira aisa vavengi vake vose pasi petsoka dzake.
26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
Muvengi wokupedzisira achaparadzwa ndirwo rufu.
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.
Nokuti akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi petsoka dzake. Zvino kana achiti “zvinhu zvose” zvakaiswa pasi petsoka dzake, zviri pachena kuti izvi hazvisanganisiri Mwari pachake, iye akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi paKristu.
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.
Kana achinge aita izvi, ipapo Mwanakomanawo pachake achaiswa pasi paiye akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi pake kuti Mwari agova zvose mune zvose.
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?
Zvino kana kusina kumuka, ko, vakabhabhatidzirwa vakafa vachazoiteiko? Kana vakafa vasingamutswi, seiko vanhu vachivabhabhatidzirwa?
30 why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
Uye kana tiri isu, tinozviisireiko panjodzi nguva dzose?
31 I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Ndinofa zuva nezuva, ndinorevesa hama dzangu, zvirokwazvo sezvandinozvirumbidza pamusoro penyu muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.
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.
Kana ndakarwa nezvikara paEfeso nokuda kwezvikonzero zvapanyama, zvakandibatsireiko? Kana vakafa vasingamutswi, “Ngatidyei uye tinwe, nokuti mangwana tichafa.”
33 Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
Musanyengerwa: “Ushamwari hwakaipa hunoodza tsika dzakanaka.”
34 Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame.
Dzokai pandangariro dzenyu sezvamakafanira, uye murege kutadza; nokuti kuna vamwe vasingazivi Mwari. Ndinotaura izvi kuti munyadziswe.
35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
Asi mumwe angabvunza achiti, “Ko, vakafa vanomutswa sei? Vachauya nomuviri wakaita seiko?”
36 Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
Upenzi hwakadii! Chaunodyara hachingameri kana chisina kufa.
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;
Kana ukadyara haudyari muviri uchazovapo, asi tsanga bedzi, ingava yegorosi kana chimwe chinhuwo zvacho.
38 but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
Asi Mwari anoipa muviri sezvaanoda, uye kumbeu imwe neimwe muviri wayo.
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.
Nyama yose haina kufanana: Vanhu vane rumwe rudzi rwenyama, mhuka dzinewo rumwe rudzi, shiri rumwewo, uye nehove dzinewo rumwe.
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.
Kunewo miviri yokudenga, nemiviri yenyika; asi kubwinya kwemiviri yokudenga ndokumwe kubwinya, kwemiviri yapanyika ndokumwe.
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.
Zuva rino kubwinya kwaro, mwedzi unewo kumwe, nenyeredzi dzinewo kumwe; uye nyeredzi haifanani neimwe nyeredzi pakubwinya.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Ndizvo zvazvichazova pakumuka kwavakafa. Muviri unodyarwa uri unoparara, unomutswa usisaparari;
43 it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
unodyarwa pakuzvidzwa, unomutswa mukubwinya; unodyarwa muutera, unomutswa musimba;
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].
unodyarwa uri muviri wenyama, unomutswa uri muviri womweya. Kana kune muviri wenyama, kune muviri womweyawo.
45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
Naizvozvo kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Munhu wokutanga, Adhamu, akava munhu mupenyu;” Adhamu wokupedzisira akava mweya unopa upenyu.
46 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
Mweya hauna kuuya pakutanga, asi nyama, uye mushure mezvo mweya.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
Munhu wokutanga akanga ari guruva renyika, munhu wechipiri akanga achibva kudenga.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Sezvakanga zvakaita munhu wapanyika, ndizvowo zvakaita vaya vari venyika; uyewo sezvakaita munhu akabva kudenga, ndizvo zvakaitawo vaya vari vokudenga.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Uye sezvatakanga tine mufananidzo womunhu wapanyika, saizvozvowo tichava nomufananidzo womunhu akabva kudenga.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Zvino, hama, ndinoti kwamuri nyama neropa hazvingagari nhaka youmambo hwaMwari, uye zvinoparara hazvingagari nhaka yezvisingaparari.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Teererai, ndinokutaurirai chakavanzika: Hatingafi tose, asi tose tichashandurwa,
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.
pakarepo, sokubwaira kweziso, pahwamanda yokupedzisira. Nokuti hwamanda icharira, vakafa vachamutswa mukusaparara, uye tichashandurwa.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Nokuti chinoparara chinofanira kufuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chinofanira kufuka kusafa.
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.
Kana chinoparara chikafuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chikafuka kusafa, ipapo tsumo yakanyorwa ichazadziswa yokuti: “Rufu rwakamedzwa nokukunda.”
“Kuripiko kukunda kwako iwe rufu? Rwuripiko rumborera rwako, iwe rufu?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
Rumborera rwerufu ndicho chivi, uye simba rechivi ndiwo murayiro.
57 but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Asi Mwari ngaavongwe! Anotipa kukunda kubudikidza naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
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.
Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, mirai makasimba. Pashayiwe chinhu chingakuzungunusai. Muchishandira Ishe zvikuru nguva dzose, nokuti munoziva kuti kubata basa kwenyu muna She hakungavi pasina.
