1 Wakorintho 15
1 Leino nikhuvavula valukolo eilivangeil eilwunivalombeilile, eilwumwapulikhe nukhwima mu eilyo.
But let me recall to you, brethren, the Good News which I brought you, which you accepted, and on which you are standing,
2 Mulivangeili eilwu mupokhiwe, mungave mukhulibata na makha eilimenyu eilwunievalombeile umwe, humbe mwaliedeikhe vuvule.
through which also you are obtaining salvation, if you bear in mind the words in which I proclaimed it--unless indeed your faith has been unreal from the very first.
3 Nduvuyale ukhuhuma khuvutonguleilo umunia lwupeilile eilivangeili nukhulievekha mbulongolo nikhaleigega khulwumwe ndumulevelile, ukhuta ukhu kongana nuvusimbe uKlisite afwile savuli ya mbivi nchieto,
For I repeated to you the all-important fact which also I had been taught, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures;
4 ukhukongana nuvusimbe akha syieliwa, nukhuta anchukhile eikhigono eikhyadatu.
that He was buried; that He rose to life again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
5 Nukhuta ambonekhile uKefa, na vala kumi nava veili.
and was seen by Peter, and then by the Twelve.
6 Puakhavavonekhela pu akhavavonekhela useikhi gumo avanu vuvingi avamia vahano napakyanya. Avingi mwavo vipitama impakha leino, vaninie mbeene vagonelile itulu.
Afterwards He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have now fallen asleep.
7 Pu akhambonekhela uYakobo na vakongi vooni.
Afterwards He was seen by James, and then by all the Apostles.
8 Muvumaleilo wa ngooni, akhambonekhela une ndakhu mwana uvyaholiwe museikhe ugusngunogile.
And last of all, as to one of untimely birth, He appeared to me also.
9 Ulwa khuva une niele deebe muvakongi. Saninogile ukhwilangiwa ikongi, pakhuva niagunkuvinche upelela gwa Nguluve.
For I am the least of the Apostles, and am not fit to be called an Apostle--because I persecuted the Church of God.
10 Muluhungu lwa Nguluve pyunile nduvunileiwo, nu luhungu lwa mwene khulyune sayale vuvule. Puleino neilikhutiga ukhuluteila vooni saniale nene luhungu lwa Nguluve lulwa luleimgati ndyune.
But what I am I am by the grace of God, and His grace bestowed upon me did not prove ineffectual. But I labored more strenuously than all the rest--yet it was not I, but God's grace working with me.
11 Pu leino eingave nene ewo vuvene tulumbeiliela ewo hange tukhwideekha ewo.
But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.
12 Leino eingave uKlisite alumbeilile nduvianchukhile ukhuhuma khuvunchukha puyielindakhikhi avange ndyumwe viita uvunchukha vusikhuli?
But if Christ is preached as having risen from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?
13 Pu yeingave uvunchukha wavufwe vusikhuli, pu nayu Klisite sanchukhe.
If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then Christ Himself has not risen to life.
14 Pu eingave uKliste sanchukhe pu ukhulumbeilela kweito sakhuli na khinu.
And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion.
15 Putu vonikhe ukhuta vatangeili va vudeesi uvikhunchova uNguluve twanchoveile vunge uNguluve anchusinche khwa Klisite vusanchukhile.
Nay more, we are actually being discovered to be bearing false witness about God, because we have testified that God raised Christ to life, whom He did not raise, if in reality none of the dead are raised.
16 Pu einave avafwile avafwile savinchusiwa uYeisu vope sanchusiwe.
For if none of the dead are raised to life, then Christ has not risen;
17 Pu eingave uKlisite sanchusiwe, ulwedeeko lweinyo luleivula khinu pumwiva mnchige mumbivi nchienyo.
and if Christ has not risen, your faith is a vain thing--you are still in your sins.
18 Puleino navala vala avuvafwile mwa Klisite vope vungamile.
It follows also that those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Eingave mbutamo uvu wene tuleinuvukifu wa seikhi ugwikhwincha mugati mwa Klisite avanu vooni, ufwe tulieva khuhegiwa ukhulutiila avanu vooni.
If in this present life we have a hope resting on Christ, and nothing more, we are more to be pitied than all the rest of the world.
20 Puleino uKlisite anchukhile ukhuhuma khuvufwe, uvu wuvu beeni uvutanchi wa vala avafwile.
But, in reality, Christ has risen from among the dead, being the first to do so of those who are asleep.
21 Ulwa khuva uvufwe wainchile ukhugende mumunu, pu ukhugendela mumunu khange vunchukha wa vala avafwile.
For seeing that death came through man, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Ulwakhuva einave ukhugendela mwa Adamu vooni vifwa, pu vulevule vooni viiva vwumi ukhugendela mwa Klisite.
For just as through Adam all die, so also through Christ all will be made alive again.
23 Ulwa khuva khila munu mumasage ga Klisite, vubeeni uvutanchi, pu leino vala vavo va Klisite yavipoliwa vuumi useikhe ugwa khwincha kwa mwene.
But this will happen to each in the right order--Christ having been the first to rise, and afterwards Christ's people rising at His return.
24 Pu yawiva vumaleilo pala upu uKlisite upuyakhiva iveikha uvuvaha uvu nkuludeva khwa Nguluve uDaada.
Later on, comes the End, when He is to surrender the Kingship to God, the Father, when He shall have overthrown all other government and all other authority and power.
25 Ekhulongu ndeyi yayiva pala upuyakhiva iduncha uvuvaha wooni nuvulongonchi wooni na makha.
For He must continue King until He shall have put all His enemies under His feet.
26 Ulwa khuva lusutu aveindongonchi imbaha impakha yakhiva ikhuvaveikha avalugu va mwene vooni pasi pa lunde ga mwene.
The last enemy that is to be overthrown is Death;
27 Undugu uvakhuvumaleilo ukhunangiwa vei vufwe. Ulwa khuva “Aveikhile khila khinu pasi pa malunde ga mwene.
for He will have put all things in subjection under His feet. And when He shall have declared that "All things are in subjection," it will be with the manifest exception of Him who has reduced them all to subjection to Him.
28 Pu yakhiva ifinu fiveikhiwe pasi pamwene pu nayumwana yu mwene ayiveikhiwa pasi pamwene uvyafiveikhile ifinu fyooni pasi pamwene. Puyayiva ewo vimbaha khu fyooni.
But when the whole universe has been made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also become subject to Him who has made the universe subject to Him, in order that GOD may be all in all.
29 Pu ewo leino yavigahandakhikhi vala vavo vonchiwe savuli ya vafwile? Eingave avafwile savinchusiwa lyooni, pukhikhi leino vikhwonchiwa savuli ya veene?
Otherwise what will become of those who got themselves baptized for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why are these baptized for them?
30 Pu khikhi tuleimbupala useikhe gyooni?
Why also do we Apostles expose ourselves to danger every hour?
31 Valukolo ukhukongana nukhwiginia khwango savuli yeinyo mwa Klisite uNtwa veito, nikhuva vula ukhuta nifwa khila linchuva.
I protest, brethren, as surely as I glory over you--which I may justly do in Christ Jesus our Lord--that I die day by day.
32 Puneilageliwa khiikhi khuvanu, neingave nielwile nifikanu ifikali ukhwa khu Efeso, vangave avafwile savinchusiwa? “Puleikha humbe tulye nukhunywa ulwa khuva khilavo twifwa.
If from merely human motives I have fought with wild beasts in Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not rise, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we are to die.
33 Mulekhe ukhusyoviwa: Ifipuga ifivivi finanga ulugeendo wunonu.
Do not deceive yourselves: "Evil companionships corrupt good morals."
34 muve nikhigelelo mtamage muwayielweli mulekhe ukhugendelela mumbutula nogwa, ulwakhuva vaninie ndyumwe muleivanchila vumanyi wa Nguluve. Ninchova ewo savuli ya soni nchienyo.
Wake from this drunken fit; live righteous lives, and cease to sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak thus in order to move you to shame.
35 Pu leino umunu uyunge ya iita, “Pu yayiva ndakhikhi avafwile yavinchusiwa? Na veene yavikhwincha yavikhwincha nu mbeili uyuleindakhikhi?”
But some one will say, "How can the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come back?"
36 Uveve ulwipelwa fincho khila eikhuvyalile sakhilengu la ukhukula khingave sakhifwile.
Foolish man! the seed you yourself sow has no life given to it unless it first dies;
37 Pu khila eikhwuvuvyaala sambeili gugwa yagwiva, pu lein yu mbeyu yeiyo yeihe lwikhe, yeivahile ukhuva nganu ewo khinu khinge.
and as for what you sow, it is not the plant which is to be that you are sowing, but a bare grain, of wheat (it may be) or of something else, and God gives it a body as He has seen fit,
38 Pu uNguluve uyiepa umbeili ndumwinogelwa, na mumbeyu eiyavenchaga umbeili gwa mwene yuywa.
and to each kind of seed a body of its own.
39 Eimiveili gyooni sagihwanine. Puleino khuleimbeili gumo ugwa vanu nu mbeili ugunge gwa fidege nu gunge gwa somba.
All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh of cattle, of birds, and of fishes.
40 Hange ghulimiveile gya khukyanya ni miveilo gya nkilunga. Pu leino uvudwaadwa wa miveili gya khukyanya vulikhinu khimo nu vudwaadwa wa nkilunga vuli vunge.
There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another.
41 Khulivudwaadwa vumo uwa linchuva, nuvudwaadwa uvunge uwamwenchi, nuvudwaadwa uvunge uwanondwe ulwa khuva einondwe yiemo sayiehwanine ni yienge mbudwaadwa.
There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Puleino wuvuleiwo ewo uvunchukha wa vufwe. Eikhivyaliwe khinangikha, pu khikhyo khimela sakhinangikha.
It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in a state of decay, it is raised free from decay;
43 Khivyaliwe mbuvombeili uvunchoveele, khinkunchiwa mbudwaadwa.
it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44 Khivyaliwe mbulegefu khimenchiwa mumakha. Khivaliwe mumbeili gwa khivumbukhu, khinchusiwa mumbeili gwa khivumbukhu pukhulimbeili gwa mepongyoope.
an animal body is sown, a spiritual body is raised. As surely as there is an animal body, so there is also a spiritual body.
45 Pueyo hange yiesimbiwe, “Umunu utengunchi u Adamu apeliwe nu mepo uviitama.” U Adamu uvyamalile apeliwe vimepo uveiihencha uwumi.
In the same way also it is written, "The first man Adam became a living animal"; the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit.
46 Pu leino umunu uva mepo sainche tasi pu ula uvakhivumbukhu viainchile pwakhincha uvamepo.
Nevertheless, it is not what is spiritual that came first, but what is animal; what is spiritual came afterwards.
47 Umunu utengunchi ahumile nkilunga, apeliwe nielifu. Umunu uvyakongile ahumile khukyanya.
The first man is a man of earth, earthy; the second man is from Heaven.
48 Nduvu ula uvyapeliwe nu ng'aanga vuvaliewo avapeliwe nu ng'aanga, nduvu aleivyo ula uva khukyanya vuvaleiwo ewo vala avakhukyanya.
What the earthy one is, that also are those who are earthy; and what the heavenly One is, that also are those who are heavenly.
49 Ndu mutugegile eikhihwani khya ng'anga, yatwigega khange eikhwani khya munu uvakhukyanya.
And as we have borne a resemblance to the earthy one, let us see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One.
50 Leino nikhuvavula valukolo lwango ukhuta umbeili nukisa safiha la uludeeva lwa Nguluve, yieve uvunangi ukhuhala ukhusita khunanga.
But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
51 Pulola! Nikhuvuvula umwe ifya khuvatitu, satukhafwe twevooni putweivooni yatukhwandukha.
I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 Khimbeivimbeivi puyatukhwandukha pakheseikhi akhadebe vuvule, yukhiva yikuta eingalape eiya khunepo. Pu eingalape vuyikuta useikhi ugwa khunepo, ulwa khuva avafwile valanchukhaga, pasitakhuvola khange, pu nayufwe twandukhe.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sounding of the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incapable of decay, and we shall be changed.
53 Ulwa khuva umbeilei ugu ugunangikha vugufwalile ukhusita khunangikha, nugu ugwa khufwa yufwalage ukhusita khufwa.
For so it must be: this perishable nature must clothe itself with what is imperishable, and this mortality must clothe itself with immortality.
54 Puleino ugu umbeile ugwakhufwa yakhiva gufwalile ukhusita khufwa puyalikhwincha eilimenyu eileisimbiwe ukhuta uvufwe vuyaganikhe nuvuluti.”
But when this perishable nature has put on what is imperishable, and this mortality has put on immortality, then will the words of Scripture be fulfilled, "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
55 “'Khuleindakhu uve veivufwe uvuluti vwakho? Khulendakhu uve vei vufwe uluvavo lwakho?” (Hadēs g86)
"Where, O death, is thy victory? Where, O death, is thy sting?" (Hadēs g86)
56 Uluvavo lwa vufwe vuvivi na makha ga vuvivi nchu ndageilo.
Now sin is the sting of death, and sin derives its power from the Law;
57 Puleino tusana khwa Nguluve uveikhutupa ufwe uvuluti ukhugendela mwa Yeisu Klisite!
but God be thanked who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
58 Pu leino vagane valukolo lwango mwikanganchage, mulekhe ukhudepanikha, mukhavombage fincho eimbombo ya Ntwa ifigono fyooni, ulwa khuva mulumanyile ukhuta eimbombo yeinyo khu Ntwa saya vuvule yeilinakha hombo.
Therefore, my dear brethren, be firm, unmovable, busily occupied at all times in the Lord's work, knowing that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.
