1 Qorontos 15
1 Ammas yaa obboloota, ani waaʼee wangeela ani isinitti lallabe, kan isin fudhattanii ittiin dhaabatan sanaa isin yaadachiisuu nan barbaada.
And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
2 Isin yoo dubbii ani isinitti lallabe sana jabeessitanii qabattan wangeeluma kanaan ni fayyitu. Yoo kanaa achii akkasumaan amantan jechuu dha.
By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
3 Anis waanan fudhadhe duraan dursee dabarseen isinitti kenneeraatii; akka Katabbiiwwan Qulqulluun dubbatanitti, Kiristoos cubbuu keenyaaf jedhee duʼe;
For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
4 ni awwaalames; akka Katabbiiwwan Qulqulluun dubbatanitti guyyaa sadaffaatti duʼaa kaafame.
and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
5 Inni duraan dursee Keefaatti, ergasiis warra Kudha Lamaanitti mulʼate.
and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
6 Sana booddee yeroo tokkotti obboloota dhibba shanii ol taʼanitti mulʼate; isaan keessaas yoo muraasni boqotan iyyuu hedduun isaanii hamma ammaatti ni jiru.
Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
7 Ergasiis Yaaqoobitti, itti aansee ergamoota hundatti mulʼate;
Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
8 dhuma irratti immoo ana kan akka gatataatti dhalateetti lakkaaʼamutti mulʼate.
And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.
9 Ani ergamoota hundaa gadi; ergamaa jedhamee waamamuun iyyuu naaf hin malu; ani waldaa kiristaanaa Waaqaa ariʼachaan tureetii.
For I am the least of the Apostles. I am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
10 Garuu ani ayyaana Waaqaatiin akkuman jiru kana jira; ayyaanni isaa kan naa kennames akkasumaan hin hafne. Ani hunduma isaanii caalaa jabaadhee hojjedheera; kanas utuu ana hin taʼin ayyaana Waaqaa kan na wajjin jirutu hojjete.
But, by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace in me has not been empty, since I have labored more abundantly than all of them. Yet it is not I, but the grace of God within me.
11 Egaa anas taʼu yookaan isaan, wanni nu lallabnu, wanni isin amantanis kanuma.
For whether it is I or they: so we preach, and so you have believed.
12 Kiristoos warra duʼan keessaa akka kaafame erga lallabamee, isin keessaa namoonni tokko tokko akkamitti duʼaa kaʼuun warra duʼanii hin jiru jechuu dandaʼu ree?
Now if Christ is preached, that he rose again from the dead, how is it that some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Erga duʼaa kaʼuun warra duʼanii hin jirre, Kiristoos iyyuu duʼaa hin kaafamne jechuudha kaa!
For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen.
14 Erga Kiristoos duʼaa hin kaafamin immoo lallabni keenya faayidaa hin qabu; amantiin keessanis faayidaa hin qabu.
And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is useless, and your faith is also useless.
15 Kana malees Waaqni Kiristoosin duʼaa kaaseera jennee waaʼee Waaqaa waan dhugaa baaneef, nu waaʼee Waaqaa dhuga baatota sobaa taanee argamneerra. Garuu erga warri duʼan hin kaafamin inni Kiristoosin hin kaafne jechuu dha.
Then, too, we would be found to be false witnesses of God, because we would have given testimony against God, saying that he had raised up Christ, when he had not raised him up, if, indeed, the dead do not rise again.
16 Yoo warri duʼan kaafamuu baatan, Kiristoosis duʼaa hin kaafamneetii.
For if the dead do not rise again, then neither has Christ risen again.
17 Erga Kiristoos duʼaa hin kaafamin amantiin keessan faayidaa hin qabu; isinis ammuma iyyuu cubbuu keessa jirtu.
But if Christ has not risen, then your faith is vain; for you would still be in your sins.
18 Yoos warri utuu Kiristoositti jiranuu boqotan baduu isaanii ti.
Then, too, those who have fallen asleep in Christ would have perished.
19 Yoo jireenya ammaa qofaaf Kiristoosin abdanne nu warra namni hundi naʼuuf taʼuu keenya.
If we have hope in Christ for this life only, then we are more miserable than all men.
20 Amma garuu Kiristoos warra boqotaniif hangafa taʼee dhugumaan warra duʼan keessaa kaafameera.
But now Christ has risen again from the dead, as the first-fruits of those who sleep.
21 Akkuma duuti karaa nama tokkootiin dhufe, akkasuma immoo duʼaa kaʼuun warra duʼanii karaa nama tokkootiin dhufeetii.
For certainly, death came through a man. And so, the resurrection of the dead came through a man
22 Akkuma hundinuu Addaamiin duʼan, hundinuu Kiristoosiin jiraatoo ni taasifamuutii.
And just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be brought to life,
23 Kun hundinuus yeroo dabaree isaatti ni taʼa; Kiristoos hangafticha, ergasii immoo yeroo inni deebiʼee dhufutti warra kan Kiristoos taʼan.
but each one in his proper order: Christ, as the first-fruits, and next, those who are of Christ, who have believed in his advent.
24 Innis erga bulchiinsa hunda, taayitaa fi humna hunda balleessee booddee, yeroo Waaqa Abbaatti mootummaa dabarsee kennutti dhumni ni taʼa.
Afterwards is the end, when he will have handed over the kingdom to God the Father, when he will have emptied all principality, and authority, and power.
25 Inni hamma diinota isaa hunda miilla isaa jala galfatutti moʼuu qabaatii.
For it is necessary for him to reign, until he has set all his enemies under his feet.
26 Diinni dhumaa kan barbadeeffamuu qabu duʼa.
Lastly, the enemy called death shall be destroyed. For he has subjected all things under his feet. And although he says,
27 Inni, “Waan hunda miilla isaa jala galcheeraatii.” Garuu “Wanni hundi” isa jala galfameera jechuun akka isa waan hunda isa jala galche sana hin dabalatin beekamaa dha.
“All things have been subjected to him,” without doubt he does not include the One who has subjected all things to him.
28 Erga waan kana godhee booddee akka Waaqni waan hundumaan hundumaa taʼuuf Ilmi mataan isaa iyyuu isa waan hundumaa miilla isaa jala galche sanaaf ni bula.
And when all things will have been subjected to him, then even the Son himself will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to him, so that God may be all in all.
29 Yoo duʼaa kaʼuun jiraachuu baate namoonni warra duʼaniif jedhanii cuuphaman maal gochuu isaanii ti? Warri duʼanis yoo duʼaa hin kaafamin namoonni maaliif qooda isaanii cuuphamu ree?
Otherwise, what will those who are being baptized for the dead do, if the dead do not rise again at all? Why then are they being baptized for them?
30 Nu maaliif saʼaatii hunda balaaf of saaxilla?
Why also do we endure trials every hour?
31 Yaa obboloota, ani guyyuma guyyaan akkan duʼu of jajuu karaa Gooftaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuusiin isin irratti qabuun nan kakadha.
Daily I die, by means of your boasting, brothers: you whom I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Ani akka namaatti Efesoonitti bineensa wajjin wal loluun koo, erga warri duʼan hin kaafamnee, maal na fayyada? “Kottaa ni nyaannaa; ni dhugnas; bor ni duunaatii.”
If, according to man, I fought with the beasts at Ephesus, how would that benefit me, if the dead do not rise again? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.”
33 Hin gowwoomfaminaa: “Hiriyaan hamaan amala gaarii balleessa.”
Do not be led astray. Evil communication corrupts good morals.
34 Gara qalbii keessan isa qajeelaatti deebiʼaa; cubbuu hojjechuus dhiisaa; namoonni Waaqa hin beekne tokko tokko isin gidduu jiruutii. Anis isin qaanessuufin waan kana dubbadha.
Be vigilant, you just ones, and do not be willing to sin. For certain persons have an ignorance of God. I say this to you with respect.
35 Garuu namni tokko, “Warri duʼan akkamitti kaafamu? Dhagna akkamiitiin dhufu?” jedhee ni gaafata taʼa.
But someone may say, “How do the dead rise again?” or, “What type of body do they return with?”
36 Yaa gowwaa! Wanni ati facaaftu yoo duʼe malee jireenya hin argatu.
How foolish! What you sow cannot be brought back to life, unless it first dies.
37 Wanni ati facaaftu sanyiidhuma, jechuunis sanyii qamadii yookaan sanyii midhaan biraati malee dhagna midhaan biqilee guddachuuf jiru sanaa miti.
And what you sow is not the body that will be in the future, but a bare grain, such as of wheat, or of some other grain.
38 Waaqni garuu akkuma fedhetti dhagna isaaf kenna; tokkoo tokkoo gosa sanyiitiifis dhagna mataa isaa kenna.
For God gives it a body according to his will, and according to each seed’s proper body.
39 Foon hundinuu tokko miti; namni foon gosa tokkoo qaba; horiin foon gosa biraa, simbirroon foon gosa biraa, qurxummiinis foon gosa biraa qabu.
Not all flesh is the same flesh. But one is indeed of men, another truly is of beasts, another is of birds, and another is of fish.
40 Akkasuma immoo dhagnawwan samii irraa ni jiru; dhagnawwan lafa irraas ni jiru; garuu ulfinni dhagnawwan samii irraa gosa tokko; ulfinni dhagnawwan lafa irraa immoo gosa biraa ti.
Also, there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But while the one, certainly, has the glory of heaven, the other has the glory of earth.
41 Aduun ulfina gosa tokkoo qabdi; jiʼis ulfina gosa biraa, urjiiwwanis ulfina gosa biraa qabu; urjiin tokko ulfinaan urjii biraatiin addaatii.
One has the brightness of the sun, another the brightness of the moon, and another the brightness of the stars. For even star differs from star in brightness.
42 Duʼaa kaʼuun warra duʼaniis akkasuma. Dhagni facaafamu kan baduu dha; kan hin badne taʼee immoo kaafama.
So it is also with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown in corruption shall rise to incorruption.
43 Inni salphinaan facaafama; ulfinaan kaafama; dadhabbiin facaafama; humnaan kaafama;
What is sown in dishonor shall rise to glory. What is sown in weakness shall rise to power.
44 dhagna fooniitu facaafama; dhagna hafuuraatu kaafama. Erga dhagni foonii jiraate, dhagni hafuuraas ni jira.
What is sown with an animal body shall rise with a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual one.
45 Kanaaf, “Addaam namichi jalqabaa lubbuu jiraataa taʼe” jedhamee barreeffameera; Addaam inni dhumaa immoo hafuura jireenya kennu taʼe.
Just as it was written that the first man, Adam, was made with a living soul, so shall the last Adam be made with a spirit brought back to life.
46 Inni jalqabatti dhufe garuu isa hafuuraa utuu hin taʼin isa foonii ti; inni hafuuraa immoo ergasii dhufe.
So what is, at first, not spiritual, but animal, next becomes spiritual.
47 Namichi duraa lafa irraa dhufe; inni kan lafaa ti; namichi lammaffaan immoo samii irraa dhufe.
The first man, being earthly, was of the earth; the second man, being heavenly, will be of heaven.
48 Warri kan lafaa taʼan akkuma namicha lafa irraa sanaa ti; warri kan samii taʼan immoo akkuma namicha samii irraa dhufe sanaa ti.
Such things as are like the earth are earthly; and such things as are like the heavens are heavenly.
49 Nu akkuma bifa namicha lafaa sanaa uffanne, akkasuma immoo bifa namicha samii sanaa ni uffanna.
And so, just as we have carried the image of what is earthly, let us also carry the image of what is heavenly.
50 Yaa obboloota, akka foonii fi dhiigni mootummaa Waaqaa dhaaluu hin dandeenye yookaan akka inni badu isa hin badne dhaaluu hin dandeenye ani isinitti nan hima.
Now I say this, brothers, because flesh and blood is not able to possess the kingdom of God; neither will what is corrupt possess what is incorrupt.
51 Kunoo, ani icciitii tokko isinittin hima: Hundi keenya hin duunu; nu hundi garuu ni geeddaramna;
Behold, I tell you a mystery. Certainly, we shall all rise again, but we shall not all be transformed:
52 kunis yeroo malakanni dhumaa afuufamu yeruma sanatti hamma liphsuu ijaatti raawwatama. Malakanni ni afuufamaatii; warri duʼanis kanneen hin badne taʼanii ni kaafamu; nus ni geeddaramna.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise up, incorruptible. And we shall be transformed.
53 Inni badu kun isa hin badne, inni duʼu kun immoo isa hin duune uffachuu qabaatii.
Thus, it is necessary for this corruptibility to be clothed with incorruptibility, and for this mortality to be clothed with immortality.
54 Yeroo inni badu isa hin badne uffatee, inni duʼu immoo isa hin duune uffatutti dubbiin akkana jedhamee barreeffame sun ni raawwatama; “Duuti moʼichaan liqimfameera.” Akkasumas,
And when this mortality has been clothed with immortality, then the word that was written shall occur: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Ilkeen duʼaa cubbuu dha; humni cubbuu immoo seera.
Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 Waaqa karaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin moʼicha nuu kennuuf garuu galanni haa taʼu!
But thanks be to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Kanaafuu yaa obboloota koo jaallatamoo, jabaadhaa dhaabadhaa. Wanni tokko isin hin sochoosin; akka dadhabbiin keessan Gooftaa biratti faayidaa malee hin hafne waan beektaniif yeroo hunda hojii Gooftaatiif guutummaatti of kennaa.
And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not useless in the Lord.
