1 Corinthians 15
1 And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you also received, in which you also have stood,
Hinu, valongo, nigana kuvakumbusa lila Lilovi la Bwina lenivakokosili, na nyenye mukayipokili na kuyima cha kukangamala mugati yaki.
2 through which you are also being saved, if you hold fast [to] the word—what I proclaimed as good news to you—unless you believed in vain.
Kwa njila yaki msanguliwi, ngati mukamula malovi genivakokosili. Manya ngati mwasadiki waka.
3 For I delivered to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Writings,
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 has risen on the third day according to the Writings,
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 afterward He appeared to above five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, and some also fell asleep;
Kangi avahumalili valongo neju ya miya mhanu kwa pamonga wa valanda, vamahele vakona wumi, nambu vangi vafwili.
7 afterward 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 untimely birth—He also appeared to me,
Pamwishu anihumalili nene, nene mwenavi ngati mundu mwavelekiwi lepi kwa lukumbi lwaki.
9 for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Assembly 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 and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] toward me did not come in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] 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, I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
Nambu hati naha, yivyai vene ndi vevikokosa amala nene ndi mwenikokosa na chenichi ndi chetikokosa na nyenye ndi chemwisadika.
12 And if Christ is preached, that He has risen out of the dead, how [do] certain among you say 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 And if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither has Christ risen;
Ngati kawaka uyukiswa wa vevafwili, hinu na mwene Kilisitu ayukili lepi,
14 and if Christ has not risen, then our preaching [is] void, and your faith [is] also void,
na ngati Kilisitu ayukili lepi, makokoselu gitu gangamanyikana na sadika yinu yangali chindu.
15 and we are also found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
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 dead persons do not rise, neither has Christ risen,
Muni ngati chakaka vevafwili nakuyukiswa, ndi na Kilisitu ayukili lepi.
17 and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins;
Ngati Kilisitu ayukili lepi, ndi sadika yinu ya waka, mwakona muyendelela kumbudila Chapanga.
18 then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ perished;
Neju ya genago, vala voha vevafwili kuni vakumsadika Kilisitu vayagili.
19 if we only have hope in Christ in this life, we are to be most pitied of all men.
Ngati huvalila yitu mu Kilisitu na yivala wumi uwu wa hinu, hinu tete vandu kuhengewa lipyana kuliku vandu voha pamulima.
20 And now, Christ has risen out of the dead—He became the first-fruits of those sleeping,
Nambu uchakaka ndi uwu, kuvya Kilisitu ayukili kuhuma mulifwa ndi kulangisa kuvya voha vevafwili yati viyukiswa.
21 for since through man [is] death, also through Man [is] a resurrection of the dead,
Muni, lifwa labwelili na mundu mmonga, na mewa na uyukiswa kuhuma vafwili ubwelili na mundu mmonga.
22 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all will be made alive,
Ngati vandu kuwungana na Adamu vandu voha vifwa, mewawa voha yati viyukiswa kwa kuwungana na Kilisitu.
23 and each in his proper order: Christ, a first-fruit, afterward those who are the Christ’s in His coming,
Nambu kila mundu na Lukumbi lwaki, Kilisitu mtumbula wa uyukiso, kangi vevavi vaki ndi pala peibwela.
24 then—the end, when He may deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He may have made all rule useless, 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 it is necessary for Him to reign until He may have put all the enemies under His feet.
Muni Kilisitu iganikiwa alongosayi mbaka Chapanga pakuvagwisa makoko vaki na kuvavika pahi ya magendelu gaku.
26 The last enemy is done away with—death.
Likoko la mwishu kuyongomeswa ndi lifwa.
27 For He put all things under His feet, and when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who subjected all things to 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 may be subjected to Him, then also the Son Himself will be subject to Him, who subjected to Him all things, that God may be the 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 Seeing what will they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they also immersed for the dead?
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 peril every hour?
Na kwa upandi ndava kyani tikujiyoka kila lukumbi?
31 I die every day, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Valongo, nene nikulilola lifwa lukumbi lwoha! Ulumba wenivii nawu ndi kuwungana Kilisitu Yesu BAMBU witu mwakunikita nikokosa lijambu ili.
32 If I fought with wild beasts in Ephesus after the manner of a man, what [is] the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow 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 Do not be led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
Mkoto kukongeka. “Vankozi vahakau vihalabisa uyovelu wa mundu.”
34 wake up, as is right, and do not sin; for some have an ignorance of God; I say [it] to you for shame.
Muyimuka! Mutumbula kutama bwina, na muleka kumbudila Chapanga. Vangi pagati yinu vammanyili lepi Chapanga. Nikuvajovela soni yivaha kwinu!
35 But someone will say, “How do the dead rise?”
Pangi mundu yati ikota, “Vevafwili yati viyukiswa wuli? Yati vivya na higa yoki?”
36 Unwise! You—what you sow is not quickened except it may die;
Genago ndi makotelu ga uhomela! Ukamija mbeyu, changali kufwa hoti yivya nakumela.
37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of someone of the others,
Chaumija ndi mbeyu yene, pangi nganu amala mabenu gangi, nambu lepi lumelelu lwoha ubwela kumela mwanakandahi.
38 and God gives a body to it according as He willed, and its proper body to each of the seeds.
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 of fishes, and another of birds;
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 and [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;
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 one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star differs from 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; there is a natural body, and there is 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 has been written: “The first man Adam became a living creature,” the last Adam [is] for 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 but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterward 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] out of the earth—earthly; the second Man [is] the LORD out of Heaven;
Adamu wa kutumbula kuwumbwa kuhuma muludaka lwa pamulima, ahumili pahi paludaka, Adamu pili ahumili kunani kwa Chapanga.
48 as [is] the earthly, such [are] also the earthly; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the 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 according as we bore the image of the earthly, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
Ngati chetiwanangini na yula mwawumbiwi kwa ludaka, mewawa yati tiwanangana na mwenuyo mwahumili kunani kwa Chapanga.
50 And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the corruption inherit the 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 secret: we indeed will not all sleep, but we will 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, in the last trumpet, for it will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will 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 it is necessary for this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;
Muni higa iyi yakahalibika ndi yiganikiwa ying'anamuka changahalibika, higa yayihotola kufwa yikoto kufwa.
54 and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the word that has been written: “Death was swallowed up—to 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 And the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the Law;
Lifwa lipewa makakala ga kuvinisa kuhuma mukumbudila chapanga, mewawa kubuda kupata makakala mu malagizu.
57 and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Nambu timsengusa Chapanga mwakutipela uhotola kwa njila ya BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
58 so that, my beloved brothers, become steadfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the LORD at all times, knowing that your labor in the LORD is not vain.
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.
