1 Corinthians 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I make known unto you The joyful message, which I myself announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand;
Nambeambe nendakuwakombosha, ainja na alombo, nnani ya injili yaihubiriwa, ambayo mwaipokile ni yema nakwe.
2 Through which also ye are being saved, —if ye hold fast, with what discourse, I announced the joyful message unto you; unless indeed, in vain, ye believed.
Ni katika injili yee mwatilopolelwa, kati mwalikamwa imara neno lyaniwahubirie mwenga, ila muaminiya bure.
3 For I delivered unto you, among the first things, what also I received: —how 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 hath been raised, on the third day, according to the Scriptures, —
bokana na maandiko atisikwa, ni panga atifufuka lisoba lya tatu.
5 And that he appeared unto Cephas, then, to the twelve,
Ni panga ywamtokii Kefa, boka po kwa balo komi ni ibele.
6 After that, he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, —of whom, the greater number, remain until even now, but, some, have fallen asleep, —
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 After that, he appeared unto James, then, unto all the apostles,
Boka po atikumtokya Yakobo, boka po mitume yote.
8 And, last of all, just as if unto the unseasonable birth, he appeared, even unto me;
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 worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
Kwa kuwa nenga na nchunu kati ya mitume. Nastahili kwaa kemelwa mtume, kwa sababu natilitesa likanisa lya Nnongo.
10 But, by favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void, —but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God 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 Whether therefore, I, or, they, thus do we proclaim, and, thus did ye believe.
Kwa eyo kati ni nenga au bembe, twati lihubiri nyoo na tutiaminiya nyoo.
12 Now, if, Christ is proclaimed, that, from among the dead, he hath been raised, how say some, among you—resurrection of the dead, there is none?
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, resurrection of the dead, there is none, not even Christ, hath been raised;
Lakini mana ntopo Ufufuo wa bandu babile mu'kiwo, bai hata Kristo afufuka kwaa kae.
14 And, if Christ, hath not been raised, void, after all, is our proclamation, void also, our faith, —
Ni mana Kristo afufuka kwaa, nga nyoo mahubiri yitu ni bure, na imani yitu ni bure.
15 And we are found, even false-witnesses of God, because we have witnessed respecting God, that he raised the Christ, —whom he did not raise, if, indeed, after all, 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, not even Christ, hath been raised;
Kati mana itei bandu bakiwo bafufuliwa kwaa, Yesu kae afufuliwa kwaa.
17 And, if Christ hath not been raised, to no purpose, is your faith, yet, are ye in your sins!
Ni kati Kristo afufuliwa kwaa, imani yinu nga ya bure na bado mubile katika sambi yinu.
18 Hence also, they who are fallen asleep in Christ, are lost:
Nga nyoo hata balo babile batiwaa katika Kristo kae batiangamia.
19 If, in this life, in Christ, we have hoped—and that is all, we are, of all men, most to be pitied.
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, hath Christ been raised from among the dead, —a firstfruit of them who have fallen asleep;
Lakini nambeambe Kristo atifufuka boka mu'kiwo, matunda ya kwanza ya balo babile mu'kiwo.
21 For, since indeed, through a man, came death, through a man, also cometh the raising of the dead;
Kwa mana kiwo kiisile pitya bandu, pitya kae bandu ni ufufuo wa bandu.
22 For, just as, in the Adam, all die, so, also, in the Christ, shall all be made alive.
Kwa mana kati katika Adamu bote batiwaa, nga nyoo kae katika Kristo bote balowa pangika akoto.
23 But, each, in his own rank: —A firstfruit, Christ, after that, they who are the Christ’s, in his presence,
Lakini kila yumo kayika mpango wake: Kristo, matunda ga kwanza, ni boka po balo babile ba Kristo bapangite ukoto wakati woisa kwake.
24 Afterwards, the end—whensoever he delivereth up the kingdom unto his God and Father, whensoever he shall bring to nought all rule and all 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 needs reign, until he shall put all his enemies under his feet:
Kwa kuwa lazima atawale mpaka paalowa beka maadui bake bote pae ya nyayo yake.
26 As a last enemy, death, is to be destroyed;
Adui wa mwisho uharibiwa ni kiwo.
27 For—He put, all things, in subjection under his feet. But, whensoever it shall be said—all things are in subjection!—it is evident that it means, —Except him who did put into subjection, unto him, the all things—
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 whensoever have been put into subjection, unto him, the all things, then, the Son himself, [also] shall be put in subjection unto him who put in subjection, unto him, the all things, —that, God, may be, all things 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 being immersed in behalf of the dead? If, not at all, are the dead to be raised, why are they even being immersed in their behalf?
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 Why also are, we, running into peril every hour?
na kwa namani tubile katika hatari kila saa?
31 Day by day, am I dying!—Yea! by your own boasting, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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, what, to me, the profit? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for, tomorrow, 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 deceiving yourselves, —evil communications corrupt gentle manners: —
Kana mulongele ubocho: “Makundi ganoite kwaa uharibia tabia inoyite.
34 Wake up to sobriety, in righteousness, and be not committing sin; for some have, an ignorance of God: for shame, unto you, am I speaking!
“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 some one will say—How, are the dead raised? and, with what kind of 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 Simple one! What, thou, sowest, is not quickened, except it die;
Wenga wa nlalo muno! Chelo chaukipandile kiweza kwaa kuanza kukua ila kiwile.
37 And, what thou sowest, not the body that shall come into existence, dost thou sow, but a naked kernel—if it so happen, of wheat, or of any of the rest, —
Na chelo cha ukipandike ni yega kwaa ambao walowa kua, ila mbeyu yaichipua. Iweza kuwa ngano au kilebe chenge.
38 Howbeit, God, giveth it a body, as he pleased, and, unto each of the seeds, a body of its own.
Lakini Nnongo aipeya yega kati yaapendile, na katika kila mbeyu yega yake mwene.
39 Not all flesh, is the same flesh; but, one, indeed, is, [the flesh] of men, and, another, the flesh of beasts, and, another, the flesh of birds, and, another, of fishes;
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 And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies, —but, of one kind, indeed, is the glory of the heavenly, and, of another kind, is the glory of the earthly; —
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 One, is the glory of a sun, and, another, the glory of a moon, and, another, the glory of stars, —nay! star from star, differeth 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 Thus, also 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 a body of the soul, it is raised a body of the spirit; if there is a body of the soul, there is also of the spirit: —
Kipandilwe katika yega wa asili, kioteshwa katika yega wa kiroho. Kati kwabile ni yega wa asili, kubile ni yega ya kiroho kae.
45 Thus, also, it is written—The first man, Adam, became, a living soul, the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
Nga nyoo iandikilwe kae,”Mundu wa kwanza Adamu atipangika roho yaatama.” Adamu wa mwisho atipangika roho yaitoa ukoto.
46 Howbeit, not first, is the [body] of the spirit, but that, of the soul, —afterwards, that of the spirit.
Lakini wa kiroho aisa kwaa kwanza ila wa asili, ni boka po wa kiroho.
47 The first man, is of the ground, earthy, the second man, is, of heaven:
Mundu wa kwanza ni wa dunia, atitengenezwa kwa mavumbi. Mundu wanaibele aboka kumaunde.
48 As, the man of earth, such, also, the men of earth, and, as, the man of heaven, such, also, the men of heaven;
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, even as we have borne the image of the man of earth, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.
Kati ambavyo tupapike mfano wa mundu wa mavumbi, tupapike kae mfano wa mundu wa kumaunde.
50 And, this, I say, brethren, —that, flesh and blood, cannot inherit, God’s kingdom. 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 Lo! a sacred secret, unto you, do I declare: —we shall not, 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, during the last trumpet; for it 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 this corruptible must needs clothe itself with incorruptibility, and this mortal, clothe itself, with immortality.
Kwani awoo waharibika ni lazima uwale wa haribika kwaa, ni wolo wa waa lazima uwale wa waa kwaa.
54 But, whensoever, this mortal, shall clothe itself with immortality, then, shall be brought to pass the saying that is written—Death hath been swallowed up, victoriously;
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 Now, the sting of death, is, sin, and, the power of sin, is, the law; —
Uchungu wa kiwo ni sambi, ni nguvu ya sambi ni saliya.
57 But, unto God, be thanks, who is giving unto us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Lakini shukrani kwa Nnongo, ywatupeile twenga ushindi pitya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo!
58 So, then, my beloved brethren, —become ye, steadfast, immovable, superabounding in the work of the Lord, at all times; knowing that, your toil, 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.
