1 Corinthians 15
1 And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood,
Nambeambe nendakuwakombosha, ainja na alombo, nnani ya injili yaihubiriwa, ambayo mwaipokile ni yema nakwe.
2 through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,
Ni katika injili yee mwatilopolelwa, kati mwalikamwa imara neno lyaniwahubirie mwenga, ila muaminiya bure.
3 for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,
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 risen on the third day, according to the Writings,
bokana na maandiko atisikwa, ni panga atifufuka lisoba lya tatu.
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,
Ni panga ywamtokii Kefa, boka po kwa balo komi ni ibele.
6 afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall 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 afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Boka po atikumtokya Yakobo, boka po mitume yote.
8 And last of all — as to the untimely birth — he appeared also to 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 did persecute the assembly of God,
Kwa kuwa nenga na nchunu kati ya mitume. Nastahili kwaa kemelwa mtume, kwa sababu natilitesa likanisa lya Nnongo.
10 and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet 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 whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe.
Kwa eyo kati ni nenga au bembe, twati lihubiri nyoo na tutiaminiya nyoo.
12 And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?
Nambeambe kati Kristo atihubiriwa kati ywafufuka kwa bandu babile mu'kiwo, ibe namani baadhi yinu mubaye ntopo ufufuo wa bandu babile mu'kiwo?
13 and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen;
Lakini mana ntopo Ufufuo wa bandu babile mu'kiwo, bai hata Kristo afufuka kwaa kae.
14 and if Christ hath not risen, then void [is] our preaching, and void also your faith,
Ni mana Kristo afufuka kwaa, nga nyoo mahubiri yitu ni bure, na imani yitu ni bure.
15 and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
Ni twapatikana kuwa mashahidi ba ubocho kumhusu Nnongo, kwa sababu twatimshuhudia Nnongo kinchogo, baya atimfufua Kristo, wakati atikumfufua kwaa.
16 for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen,
Kati mana itei bandu bakiwo bafufuliwa kwaa, Yesu kae afufuliwa kwaa.
17 and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, 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, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish;
Nga nyoo hata balo babile batiwaa katika Kristo kae batiangamia.
19 if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men 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 And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead — the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,
Lakini nambeambe Kristo atifufuka boka mu'kiwo, matunda ya kwanza ya balo babile mu'kiwo.
21 for since through man [is] the death, also through man [is] a rising again of the dead,
Kwa mana kiwo kiisile pitya bandu, pitya kae bandu ni ufufuo wa bandu.
22 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,
Kwa mana kati katika Adamu bote batiwaa, nga nyoo kae katika Kristo bote balowa pangika akoto.
23 and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those 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 then — the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless 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 it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet —
Kwa kuwa lazima atawale mpaka paalowa beka maadui bake bote pae ya nyayo yake.
26 the last enemy is done away — death;
Adui wa mwisho uharibiwa ni kiwo.
27 for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who did subject the 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 and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the 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 Seeing what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why also are they baptized 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 also do we stand in peril every hour?
na kwa namani tubile katika hatari kila saa?
31 Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that 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 a man with wild beasts I fought in Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink, for 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 led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
Kana mulongele ubocho: “Makundi ganoite kwaa uharibia tabia inoyite.
34 awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say [it].
“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 do the dead rise?
Lakini mundu ywenge abaya,”Jinsi gani bandu ba kiwo balowa fufuliwa? Na bembe balowa isa na aina gani ya yega?”
36 unwise! thou — what thou dost sow is not quickened except it may die;
Wenga wa nlalo muno! Chelo chaukipandile kiweza kwaa kuanza kukua ila kiwile.
37 and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some one of the others,
Na chelo cha ukipandike ni yega kwaa ambao walowa kua, ila mbeyu yaichipua. Iweza kuwa ngano au kilebe chenge.
38 and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper 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 flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, 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 and [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that 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 glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star from star doth differ 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 rising again 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 natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural 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 so also it hath been written, 'The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam [is] for a life-giving 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 [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterwards that which [is] spiritual.
Lakini wa kiroho aisa kwaa kwanza ila wa asili, ni boka po wa kiroho.
47 The first man [is] out of the earth, earthy; the second man [is] the Lord out of heaven;
Mundu wa kwanza ni wa dunia, atitengenezwa kwa mavumbi. Mundu wanaibele aboka kumaunde.
48 as [is] the earthy, such [are] also the earthy; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the 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, according as we did bear the image of the earthy, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly.
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 the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption;
Nambeambe naabakiya, ainja na alombo bango, panga yega na mwai iweza kwaa kuurithi upwalume wa Nnongo. Wala wakuharibika kurithi wauharibika kwaa.
51 lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall 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, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we — 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 it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;
Kwani awoo waharibika ni lazima uwale wa haribika kwaa, ni wolo wa waa lazima uwale wa waa kwaa.
54 and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, 'The Death was swallowed up — to 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 and the sting of the death [is] the sin, and the power of the sin the law;
Uchungu wa kiwo ni sambi, ni nguvu ya sambi ni saliya.
57 and to God — thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Lakini shukrani kwa Nnongo, ywatupeile twenga ushindi pitya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo!
58 so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not 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.
