1 Corinthians 15
1 NOW I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I have preached unto you, and which ye have received, in which also ye have stood fast;
Nambeambe nendakuwakombosha, ainja na alombo, nnani ya injili yaihubiriwa, ambayo mwaipokile ni yema nakwe.
2 by which also ye are saved; if ye cleave to that word I have preached to you, except haply ye have believed in vain.
Ni katika injili yee mwatilopolelwa, kati mwalikamwa imara neno lyaniwahubirie mwenga, ila muaminiya bure.
3 For I delivered to you among the first things that which I also had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
Kati kwanza yaniipokii kwa umuhimu niiletike kwinu kati ya ibile: panga bokana na maandiko, Kristo awile kwa ajili ya sambi yitu,
4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
bokana na maandiko atisikwa, ni panga atifufuka lisoba lya tatu.
5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
Ni panga ywamtokii Kefa, boka po kwa balo komi ni ibele.
6 afterwards he appeared before five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater number remain alive unto this hour, but some also are gone to rest.
Boka po atikwatokiya kwa muda umo ba'ainja na alombo zaidi ya mia tano. Baingi babe babile bado akoto, lakini baadhi yabe bagonjike lugono.
7 Afterwards he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
Boka po atikumtokya Yakobo, boka po mitume yote.
8 And last of all he was seen also by me, who am but as an abortion.
Mwisho wa bote, atikunitokya nenga, kati yee kwa mwana ywabile belekwa katika wakati ubile kwaa sahihi.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Kwa kuwa nenga na nchunu kati ya mitume. Nastahili kwaa kemelwa mtume, kwa sababu natilitesa likanisa lya Nnongo.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was given to 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.
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.
11 Therefore whether I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Kwa eyo kati ni nenga au bembe, twati lihubiri nyoo na tutiaminiya nyoo.
12 But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Nambeambe kati Kristo atihubiriwa kati ywafufuka kwa bandu babile mu'kiwo, ibe namani baadhi yinu mubaye ntopo ufufuo wa bandu babile mu'kiwo?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither is Christ risen:
Lakini mana ntopo Ufufuo wa bandu babile mu'kiwo, bai hata Kristo afufuka kwaa kae.
14 and if Christ be not risen, vain indeed is our preaching, and vain also your faith.
Ni mana Kristo afufuka kwaa, nga nyoo mahubiri yitu ni bure, na imani yitu ni bure.
15 Yea, and we also are found false witnesses for God; because we have testified on the behalf of God, that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if indeed the dead are not raised.
Ni twapatikana kuwa mashahidi ba ubocho kumhusu Nnongo, kwa sababu twatimshuhudia Nnongo kinchogo, baya atimfufua Kristo, wakati atikumfufua kwaa.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ risen:
Kati mana itei bandu bakiwo bafufuliwa kwaa, Yesu kae afufuliwa kwaa.
17 and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Ni kati Kristo afufuliwa kwaa, imani yinu nga ya bure na bado mubile katika sambi yinu.
18 Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Nga nyoo hata balo babile batiwaa katika Kristo kae batiangamia.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all other men.
Mana itei kwa maisha aga kichake tubile ni ujasiri kwa wakati woisa nkati ya Kristo, bandu bote, twenga niwakuhurumilwa zaidi ya bandu bote.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.
Lakini nambeambe Kristo atifufuka boka mu'kiwo, matunda ya kwanza ya balo babile mu'kiwo.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
Kwa mana kiwo kiisile pitya bandu, pitya kae bandu ni ufufuo wa bandu.
22 For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Kwa mana kati katika Adamu bote batiwaa, nga nyoo kae katika Kristo bote balowa pangika akoto.
23 But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ’s at his appearing.
Lakini kila yumo kayika mpango wake: Kristo, matunda ga kwanza, ni boka po balo babile ba Kristo bapangite ukoto wakati woisa kwake.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have destroyed every dominion and every authority and power.
Nga po walowa pangika mwisho, palyo Kristo paakabidhi upwalume kwa Nnongo Tate. Ayee nga palyo palowa komesha utawala wote ni mamlaka yote ni ngupu.
25 For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet.
Kwa kuwa lazima atawale mpaka paalowa beka maadui bake bote pae ya nyayo yake.
26 The last enemy shall be destroyed, death.
Adui wa mwisho uharibiwa ni kiwo.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to him.
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.
28 But when he shall have put all things under him, then also the Son himself shall be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
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.
29 Else what will they do who are baptised? for the dead, if wholly dead they rise no more. Why are they then baptised for the dead?
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?
30 and why do we also expose ourselves to danger every hour?
na kwa namani tubile katika hatari kila saa?
31 I solemnly declare by all the joy over you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Ainja ni alombo bango, petya kuisifu kwango katika mwenga, ambayo nibile nayo katika Kristo Yesu Ngwana witu, natangaza nyoo: nawaa kila lisoba.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, of what advantage would it be to me, if the dead did not rise again? shall we eat and drink; because to-morrow we die?
Ifaika namani, katika mtazamo wa bandu, kati bandu ba'kiwo bafufuliwa kwaa? “Leka bai tulyee ni nywaa, kwa mana malabo twalowa waa.”
33 Be not deceived: evil conversations corrupt good manners.
Kana mulongele ubocho: “Makundi ganoite kwaa uharibia tabia inoyite.
34 Awake as the righteous, and sin not; for some have an ignorance of God: I speak this to your shame.
“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.
35 But will any man say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
Lakini mundu ywenge abaya,”Jinsi gani bandu ba kiwo balowa fufuliwa? Na bembe balowa isa na aina gani ya yega?”
36 Thou fool! what thou sowest is not quickened except it die:
Wenga wa nlalo muno! Chelo chaukipandile kiweza kwaa kuanza kukua ila kiwile.
37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body which shall be afterwards, but the bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of some of the other seeds:
Na chelo cha ukipandike ni yega kwaa ambao walowa kua, ila mbeyu yaichipua. Iweza kuwa ngano au kilebe chenge.
38 but God giveth it a body as he pleaseth, and to each of the seeds its peculiar body.
Lakini Nnongo aipeya yega kati yaapendile, na katika kila mbeyu yega yake mwene.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, and another flesh of cattle, and another of fishes, and another of birds.
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.
40 Also there are celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial another.
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.
41 There is one glory of the sun; and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for star differeth from star in glory.
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.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Nga nyoo ubile kae ni ufufuo wa bandu ba kiwo. Chelo chakipandwile, na chakiotile kiaribika kwaa.
43 it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
Kipandilwe katika matumizi ya kawaida, kioteshwa katika utukufu. Kipandilwe katika udhaifu, kioteshwa katika ngufu.
44 it is sown an animal body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.
Kipandilwe katika yega wa asili, kioteshwa katika yega wa kiroho. Kati kwabile ni yega wa asili, kubile ni yega ya kiroho kae.
45 And so it is written, There was a first man Adam a living soul; a last Adam a quickening spirit.
Nga nyoo iandikilwe kae,”Mundu wa kwanza Adamu atipangika roho yaatama.” Adamu wa mwisho atipangika roho yaitoa ukoto.
46 But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual.
Lakini wa kiroho aisa kwaa kwanza ila wa asili, ni boka po wa kiroho.
47 The first man was of the earth, earthly; the second man was the Lord from heaven.
Mundu wa kwanza ni wa dunia, atitengenezwa kwa mavumbi. Mundu wanaibele aboka kumaunde.
48 As is the earthly, so are they also that are earthly: and as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.
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.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Kati ambavyo tupapike mfano wa mundu wa mavumbi, tupapike kae mfano wa mundu wa kumaunde.
50 But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Nambeambe naabakiya, ainja na alombo bango, panga yega na mwai iweza kwaa kuurithi upwalume wa Nnongo. Wala wakuharibika kurithi wauharibika kwaa.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not indeed all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Linga! Naabakiya mwenga siri ya kweli: Twawile kwaa bote, ila bote twalowa badilishwa.
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.
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.
53 For that which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and that which is mortal must put on immortality.
Kwani awoo waharibika ni lazima uwale wa haribika kwaa, ni wolo wa waa lazima uwale wa waa kwaa.
54 So when that which is corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and that which is mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
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.”
Kiwo, ushindi wako ubile kwaako? Kiwo, ubile kwaako ni uchungu wako?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
Uchungu wa kiwo ni sambi, ni nguvu ya sambi ni saliya.
57 But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Lakini shukrani kwa Nnongo, ywatupeile twenga ushindi pitya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo!
58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
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.
