1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I remind you, brothers, of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you received and on which you stand.
Nambeambe nendakuwakombosha, ainja na alombo, nnani ya injili yaihubiriwa, ambayo mwaipokile ni yema nakwe.
2 It is by this gospel that you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
Ni katika injili yee mwatilopolelwa, kati mwalikamwa imara neno lyaniwahubirie mwenga, ila muaminiya bure.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also 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 that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
bokana na maandiko atisikwa, ni panga atifufuka lisoba lya tatu.
5 Christ appeared to Cephas, and then to the twelve;
Ni panga ywamtokii Kefa, boka po kwa balo komi ni ibele.
6 then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once. Most of them are still alive, 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 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Boka po atikumtokya Yakobo, boka po mitume yote.
8 Last of all, he appeared to me, as if to a child born at the wrong time.
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. I am unworthy 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 in me was not in vain. Instead, I worked harder than all of them. Yet it was not I, but the grace of God that is 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 it is I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
Kwa eyo kati ni nenga au bembe, twati lihubiri nyoo na tutiaminiya nyoo.
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say 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, then not even Christ has been raised;
Lakini mana ntopo Ufufuo wa bandu babile mu'kiwo, bai hata Kristo afufuka kwaa kae.
14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
Ni mana Kristo afufuka kwaa, nga nyoo mahubiri yitu ni bure, na imani yitu ni bure.
15 Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we testified against God, saying he raised up Christ when he did not.
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 has been raised;
Kati mana itei bandu bakiwo bafufuliwa kwaa, Yesu kae afufuliwa kwaa.
17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain and you are still in your sins.
Ni kati Kristo afufuliwa kwaa, imani yinu nga ya bure na bado mubile katika sambi yinu.
18 Then those who have died in Christ have also perished.
Nga nyoo hata balo babile batiwaa katika Kristo kae batiangamia.
19 If only in this life we have hope in Christ, of all people we are 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 Christ, who is the firstfruits of those who died, has been raised from the dead.
Lakini nambeambe Kristo atifufuka boka mu'kiwo, matunda ya kwanza ya balo babile mu'kiwo.
21 For since death came by a man, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
Kwa mana kiwo kiisile pitya bandu, pitya kae bandu ni ufufuo wa bandu.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will 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 order: Christ, who is the firstfruits, and then those who belong to Christ will be made alive at his coming.
Lakini kila yumo kayika mpango wake: Kristo, matunda ga kwanza, ni boka po balo babile ba Kristo bapangite ukoto wakati woisa kwake.
24 Then will be the end, when Christ will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. This is when he will abolish 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 reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
Kwa kuwa lazima atawale mpaka paalowa beka maadui bake bote pae ya nyayo yake.
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
Adui wa mwisho uharibiwa ni kiwo.
27 For “he has put everything under his feet.” But when it says “he has put everything,” it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to himself.
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 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who put all things into subjection 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 Or else what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they baptized for them?
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 then, are we in danger every hour?
na kwa namani tubile katika hatari kila saa?
31 Every day I face death! This is as sure as my boasting in you, 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 What do I gain, from a human point of view, if I fought with beasts at Ephesus, 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 deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
Kana mulongele ubocho: “Makundi ganoite kwaa uharibia tabia inoyite.
34 Sober up! Live righteously! Do not keep sinning. For some of you have no knowledge of God. I say 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 someone will say, “How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body will they come?”
Lakini mundu ywenge abaya,”Jinsi gani bandu ba kiwo balowa fufuliwa? Na bembe balowa isa na aina gani ya yega?”
36 You are so ignorant! What you sow will not start to grow unless it dies.
Wenga wa nlalo muno! Chelo chaukipandile kiweza kwaa kuanza kukua ila kiwile.
37 What you sow is not the body that will be, but a bare seed. It may become wheat or something else.
Na chelo cha ukipandike ni yega kwaa ambao walowa kua, ila mbeyu yaichipua. Iweza kuwa ngano au kilebe chenge.
38 But God will give it a body as he chooses, and to each seed its own body.
Lakini Nnongo aipeya yega kati yaapendile, na katika kila mbeyu yega yake mwene.
39 Not all flesh is the same. Instead, there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh for animals, and another flesh for birds, and another for fish.
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 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly body is one kind and the glory of the earthly is 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 one star differs from another 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. What is sown is perishable, and what is raised is imperishable.
Nga nyoo ubile kae ni ufufuo wa bandu ba kiwo. Chelo chakipandwile, na chakiotile kiaribika kwaa.
43 It is sown in dishonor; 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 natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also 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 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Nga nyoo iandikilwe kae,”Mundu wa kwanza Adamu atipangika roho yaatama.” Adamu wa mwisho atipangika roho yaitoa ukoto.
46 But the spiritual did not come first but the natural, and then the spiritual.
Lakini wa kiroho aisa kwaa kwanza ila wa asili, ni boka po wa kiroho.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is from heaven.
Mundu wa kwanza ni wa dunia, atitengenezwa kwa mavumbi. Mundu wanaibele aboka kumaunde.
48 Just as the one made from dust is, so also are those who are made of the dust, and as the man of heaven is, so also are those who are 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 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will 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 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither does what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
Nambeambe naabakiya, ainja na alombo bango, panga yega na mwai iweza kwaa kuurithi upwalume wa Nnongo. Wala wakuharibika kurithi wauharibika kwaa.
51 Look! I tell you a secret truth: We will not all die, but we will all be changed.
Linga! Naabakiya mwenga siri ya kweli: Twawile kwaa bote, ila bote twalowa badilishwa.
52 We will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will 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 perishable body must put on what is imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
Kwani awoo waharibika ni lazima uwale wa haribika kwaa, ni wolo wa waa lazima uwale wa waa kwaa.
54 But when this perishable body has put on what is imperishable, and when this mortal body has put on immortality, then will come about the saying that 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 power of sin is the law.
Uchungu wa kiwo ni sambi, ni nguvu ya sambi ni saliya.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Lakini shukrani kwa Nnongo, ywatupeile twenga ushindi pitya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo!
58 Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always abound in the work of the Lord, because you know that your work in the Lord is not in vain.
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.
