< 1 Corinthians 15 >

1 Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
Nambeambe nendakuwakombosha, ainja na alombo, nnani ya injili yaihubiriwa, ambayo mwaipokile ni yema nakwe.
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which 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 first of all that which I also received: that Messiah 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, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
bokana na maandiko atisikwa, ni panga atifufuka lisoba lya tatu.
5 and that he appeared to Kefa, then to the twelve.
Ni panga ywamtokii Kefa, boka po kwa balo komi ni ibele.
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also 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 Jacob, then to all the emissaries,
Boka po atikumtokya Yakobo, boka po mitume yote.
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
Mwisho wa bote, atikunitokya nenga, kati yee kwa mwana ywabile belekwa katika wakati ubile kwaa sahihi.
9 For I am the least of the emissaries, who is not worthy to be called an emissary, 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 the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; 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 Whether then it is I or they, so we proclaim, and so you believed.
Kwa eyo kati ni nenga au bembe, twati lihubiri nyoo na tutiaminiya nyoo.
12 Now if Messiah is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say 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 has Messiah been raised.
Lakini mana ntopo Ufufuo wa bandu babile mu'kiwo, bai hata Kristo afufuka kwaa kae.
14 If Messiah has not been raised, then our proclaiming 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 Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Messiah, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that 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 aren’t raised, neither has Messiah been raised.
Kati mana itei bandu bakiwo bafufuliwa kwaa, Yesu kae afufuliwa kwaa.
17 If Messiah has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
Ni kati Kristo afufuliwa kwaa, imani yinu nga ya bure na bado mubile katika sambi yinu.
18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Messiah have perished.
Nga nyoo hata balo babile batiwaa katika Kristo kae batiangamia.
19 If we have only hoped in Messiah in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
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 Messiah has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
Lakini nambeambe Kristo atifufuka boka mu'kiwo, matunda ya kwanza ya balo babile mu'kiwo.
21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
Kwa mana kiwo kiisile pitya bandu, pitya kae bandu ni ufufuo wa bandu.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah 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: Messiah the first fruits, then those who are Messiah’s 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 the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished 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 that will be abolished is death.
Adui wa mwisho uharibiwa ni kiwo.
27 For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted 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 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to 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 they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they immersed 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 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
na kwa namani tubile katika hatari kila saa?
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Messiah Yeshua 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 I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s 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 Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
Kana mulongele ubocho: “Makundi ganoite kwaa uharibia tabia inoyite.
34 Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some 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 do they come?”
Lakini mundu ywenge abaya,”Jinsi gani bandu ba kiwo balowa fufuliwa? Na bembe balowa isa na aina gani ya yega?”
36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
Wenga wa nlalo muno! Chelo chaukipandile kiweza kwaa kuanza kukua ila kiwile.
37 That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
Na chelo cha ukipandike ni yega kwaa ambao walowa kua, ila mbeyu yaichipua. Iweza kuwa ngano au kilebe chenge.
38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
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 flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, 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 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
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, 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. The body is sown perishable; it is raised 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. There is a natural body and 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 However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is 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 the Lord from heaven.
Mundu wa kwanza ni wa dunia, atitengenezwa kwa mavumbi. Mundu wanaibele aboka kumaunde.
48 As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also 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 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
Kati ambavyo tupapike mfano wa mundu wa mavumbi, tupapike kae mfano wa mundu wa kumaunde.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
Nambeambe naabakiya, ainja na alombo bango, panga yega na mwai iweza kwaa kuurithi upwalume wa Nnongo. Wala wakuharibika kurithi wauharibika kwaa.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will 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 shofar. For the shofar will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, 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 become imperishable, and this mortal 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 will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “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.”
55 “Death, where is your sting? Sheol, where is your victory?” (Hadēs g86)
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 Yeshua the Messiah.
Lakini shukrani kwa Nnongo, ywatupeile twenga ushindi pitya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo!
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor 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.
