1 Wakorintho 15
1 Henu nikabhakhombosya, bhakaka ni bhadada, panani pa injili jhanabhahubiriri, ambajho mwajhipokili ni kujhema nayo.
NOW I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I have preached unto you, and which ye have received, in which also ye have stood fast;
2 Kwa injili ejhe muokolibhu, kama mwibetakulikamilila kinofu lilobhi lya nabhahubiriri muenga, isipokujha mulikyerajhi mebhu.
by which also ye are saved; if ye cleave to that word I have preached to you, except haply ye have believed in vain.
3 Kama hoti kyanajhipokili kwa bhumuhimu naletili kwa muenga kama kyajhijhele: Kwamba kutokana ni maandiku, Kristu afuili kwa ndabha jha dhambi sya tete,
For I delivered to you among the first things that which I also had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 Kutokana ni majhandiku asyelibhu, ni kujha afufuiki ligono lya tatu.
and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 Ni kwamba an'homili kefa, kabhele kwa bhala kumi ni bhabhele.
and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 Kabhele abhahomili kwa wakati umonga bhakaka ni bhadada zaidi jha miatano. Bhingi bhabhi bhakona bhaomi, lakini baadhi jha bhene bhagonili lugono.
afterwards he appeared before five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater number remain alive unto this hour, but some also are gone to rest.
7 Kabhele an'homili Yakobo, kabhele mitume bhoha.
Afterwards he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 Mwisho ghwa ghoha, anihomili nene, kama vile kwa muana jhaahogoliki mu wakati bhubhuene lepi.
And last of all he was seen also by me, who am but as an abortion.
9 Kwa kujha nene ne n'debe kati jha mitume. Nilondekalepi kukutibhwa mtume kwandabha nalitesisi likanisa lya K'yara.
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Lakini kwa neema jha Kyara nijhele kama kama kyanijhele, ni neema jha muene kwa nene jhajhelepi mebhu. Badala jhiake, nabhombili bidii kuliko bhoha. Lakini jhajelepi nene, bali neema jha K'yara jhajhijhele mugati mwa nene.
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Henu kama nene au bhene, twihubiri naha na twikiera naha.
Therefore whether I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12 Henu kama Kristu ahubiribhu kama jhaafufuiki kwa bhafu, iwejhe baadhi jha muenga mujobhayi bhujhelepi bhufufuo bhwa bhafu?
But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Lakini kama bhujhelepi bhufufuo bhwa bhafu basi hata Kristu kabhele afufuiki lepi.
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither is Christ risen:
14 Ni kama Kristu afufuikilepi, nahu mahubiri gha tete ndo pat'op'o, ni imani jha muenga pat'op'o.
and if Christ be not risen, vain indeed is our preaching, and vain also your faith.
15 Na tubhonekene kujha mashahidi bha udesi kumhusu K'yara, kwa ndabha twan'shudili K'yara kinyume, kujobha amfufuili Kristu, wakati amfufuili lepi.
Yea, and we also are found false witnesses for God; because we have testified on the behalf of God, that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if indeed the dead are not raised.
16 Kama jhikajhelayi bhafu bhifufulibhwa lepi, Yesu ni muene basi afufulibhu lepi.
For if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ risen:
17 Ni kama Kristu afufulibhulepi, imani jha jhomu mebhu na mwakona mujhe mu dhambi sya jhomu.
and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Nhu, bala bhabhafuili kwa Kristu ni bhene bhajhanganuli.
Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Ikajhiajhi kwa maisha agha ghene tujheni bhujasiri kwa wakati bhwa wihida mugati mwa Kristu, bhanu bhoha, tete tukabhahurumila zaidi jha bhanu bhoha.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all other men.
20 Lakini henu Kristu afufuiki kuhoma kwa bhafu, matunda gha kubhuandu gha bhala bhabhafuili.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.
21 Kwa kujha kifo kyahidili kup'etela mwanadamu, bhufufuo bhwa bhafu.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Kwa kujha kama bha Adamu bhoha bhifwa, nahu, kabhele kwa Kristu bhoha bhibeta kujha bhaomi.
For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 Lakini khila mmonga mu mpango bhwa muene: Kristu, matunda gha kubhuandu, ni kisha bhala bhabhajhele bha Kristu bhibeta kubhombibhwa bhaomi wakati bhwa kuhida kwa muene.
But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ’s at his appearing.
24 Ndipo pawibeta kujha mwisu, pala Kristu paibeta kukabidhi bhufalme kwa K'yara dadijhitu. Ejhe ndo pala paibeta kukomesya bhutawala bhuoha ni mamlaka ghoha ni nghofu.
Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have destroyed every dominion and every authority and power.
25 Kwa kujha lazima atabhwalayi mpaka paibetakubheka bhaadui bha muene bhoha pasi pa njayu sya muene.
For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 Adui ghwa kumwisu kuharibibhwa ni kifo.
The last enemy shall be destroyed, death.
27 Kwa kujha “abhekili khila khenu pasi pa njayu sya muene.” Lakini pajhijobha “abhekili khila khenu,” ndo bhuesi kujha ejhe jhihusisha lepi bhala bhabhabhekili khila khenu pasi pa muene.
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to him.
28 Bho fenu fyoha fibhekibhu pasi pa muene, kabhele muana muene ibetakubhakibhwa pasi pa muene. Ejhe jhibeta kuhomela ili kwamba K'yara dadi ajhiajhi ghoha mu fyoha.
But when he shall have put all things under him, then also the Son himself shall be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Au kabhele bhibeta kubhomba kiki bhala bhabhabatisibhu kwa ndabha jha bhafu? Kama bhafu bhifufulibhwa lepi nesu kwandajhakhikhi kabhele bhibatisibhwa kwa ndabha jha bhene?
Else what will they do who are baptised? for the dead, if wholly dead they rise no more. Why are they then baptised for the dead?
30 Na kwa ndabha jhakiki tujhe mu hatari khila lisaa?
and why do we also expose ourselves to danger every hour?
31 Kaka ni bhal'omb'o bhangu, kup'et'ela kwitufya kwa nene kwa muenga, ambajho nijhenajhu kwa Kristu Yesu Bwana bhitu, nitangasya naha: Nifwa khila ligono.
I solemnly declare by all the joy over you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 Jhikanifaidila khiki, mu mtazamo bhwa mwanadamu kama nakhomene ni bhanyama bhakali okhu Efeso, kama bhafubhifufulibhwalepi? “Lekayi basi tuliajhi ni kunywa, kwa kujha kilabhu twifwa.”
If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, of what advantage would it be to me, if the dead did not rise again? shall we eat and drink; because to-morrow we die?
33 Musikofibhu: Makundi mabhibhi ghijhonanga tabia jhinofu.
Be not deceived: evil conversations corrupt good manners.
34 “Mujhelayi ni kiasi! Mutamayi mu haki! musijhendeleli kubhomba dhambi. Kwa kujha baadhi jha muenga mujhelepi ni maarifa gha K'yara. Nijobha naha kwa soni jha muenga.
Awake as the righteous, and sin not; for some have an ignorance of God: I speak this to your shame.
35 Lakini munu jhongi ibetakujobha, “Namna jhelekhu bhafu bhifufulibhwa? Ni bhene bhibeta kuhida ni aina jhelekhu jha mb'el'e?”
But will any man say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Bhebhe ghwe n'jinga nesu! Khela kyaupandili kibhwesyalepi kujhanda kukhola isipokujha kufwa.
Thou fool! what thou sowest is not quickened except it die:
37 Ni khela kyawipanda sio mb'el'e ambabho wibetakujha, bali ndo mbeyu jhajhichipuili. Jhibhwesyakujha ngano au khenu khenge.
and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body which shall be afterwards, but the bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of some of the other seeds:
38 Lakini K'yara ibetakujhip'ela mb'el'e kama kyawigana, nu mu khila mbeyu mb'el'e ghwa muene.
but God giveth it a body as he pleaseth, and to each of the seeds its peculiar body.
39 Mibhele ghioha ghiwaninganalepi. Isipokujha, kujhe ni mb'el'e bhwa umonga bhwa mwanadamu, ni mb'el'e bhwamana bhwa mnyama, ni mb'el'e bhongi bhwa fidege, ni mb'el'e bhongi bhwa somba.
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, and another flesh of cattle, and another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 Kabhele kujha ni mibhele ghya kumbinguni ni mibhele ghya paduniani. Lakini bhutukufu bhwa mibhele ghya kumbinguni ndo aina jhimonga ni bhutukufu bhwa paduniani bhongi.
Also there are celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial another.
41 Bhujhele utukufu umonga bhwa lijobha, ni bhutukufu bhongi bhwa mwesi, ni bhtukufu bhongi bhwa mato'do. Kwa kujha litono limonga litofautiana ni litondo l'enge mu bhutukufu.
There is one glory of the sun; and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for star differeth from star in glory.
42 Nahu ndo kyaujhele kabhele bhufufuo bhwa bhafu. Kyakipandibhwa kiharibika, na kyakimela kiharibikalepi.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 Kipandibhu mu matumizi gha kawaida, kyakimelibhwa mu bhutukufu. Kipandibhu mu bhudhaifu, kimela mu nghofu.
it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 Kipandibhu mu mb'el'e ghwa asili, kimela mu mb'el'e ghwa kiroho. Kama kujhe ni mb'el'e ghwa asili, kujhe ni mb'el'e ghwa kiroho kabhele.
it is sown an animal body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 Kabhele jhilembibhu, “Munu ghwa kuanza Adamu abhombiki roho jhajhiishi.” Adamu ghwa kumwisu abhombiki roho jhajhikeka.
And so it is written, There was a first man Adam a living soul; a last Adam a quickening spirit.
46 Lakini bhwa kiroho ahidilepi hoti bali ghwa asili, ni kabhele ghwa kiroho.
But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 Munu ghwa kuanza ndo ghwa dunia, atengenesibhu kwa mad'opi. Munu ghwa bhubhele ihomela kumbinguni.
The first man was of the earth, earthly; the second man was the Lord from heaven.
48 Kama vile munu jha abhombibhu kwa mad'opi, naha kabhele bhala bhabhabhombibhu kwa mad'opi. Kama vile munu ghwa kumbinguni kyaajhele, naha kabhele bhala kumbinguni.
As is the earthly, so are they also that are earthly: and as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.
49 Kama ambavyo kyatup'endili mfano ghwa munu ghwa mad'opi, tubeta kup'enda kabhele mfano ghwa munu ghwa mbinguni.
And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Henu tubhajobhela, kaka ni bhal'omb'o bhangu kujha mb'el'e ni damu fibhwesyalepi kubhurithi bhufalme bhwa K'yara. Bhwala bhwakuharibika kurithi bhwa kutokuharibika.
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Langayi! Nikabhajobhela muenga sirijha bhukweli: Twibetalepi kufwa bhoha, bali twebhoha tubeta kubaadilisibhwa.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not indeed all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 Twibeta kubadilisibhwa mu wakati, mu kufumba ni kufumbula kwa lihu, tarumbeta jha kumwishu, kwa kujha tarumbeta jhibetakulela, ni bhafu bhibeta kufufulibhwa ni hali jha kubhela kuharibika, na twibeta kubadilisibhwa.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 Kwani obho bhwa kuharibika lazima ufwalayi bhwa kubela kuharibika, ni obho bhwa kufwa lazima ufwalayi bhwa kubela kufwa.
For that which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and that which is mortal must put on immortality.
54 Lakini bhwakati obho bhwa kuharibika ukufwatikibhwajhi bhwa kubela kuharibika, ni obho bhwa kufwa ukafwalayi bhwa kubela kufwa, ndo pawibetakuhida msemo ambabho ujhandikibhu, “Kifo kimilibhu mu bhushindi.”
So when that which is corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and that which is mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Bhuchungu bhwa kifo ndo dhambi, ni nghofu jha dhambi ndo sheria.
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 Lakini kubhombesya kwa K'yara, jhaakatupela tete ushindi kup'et'ela Bwana bhitu Yesu Kristu!
But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Henu, bhaganwa kaka ni bhal'ombo bhangu, mujhelayi mukangamele na musijhimbisibhu. Daima mujhibhombayi mbombo jha Bwana, kwa ndabha mumanyili kujha mbombo jha muenga kwa Bwana jha mebhu lepi.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
