1 Jo-Korintho 15
1 Koro jowetena, adwaro paronu wach Injili mane ayalonu, mi urwako kendo koro uchungoe motegno.
Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 Injilini ema kelonu warruok, ka umako matek wach mane ayalonu mokwongo. Ka ok kamano, to kara ne uyie kayiem nono.
by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 Puonj maduongʼ mogik mane ayudo kuom Ruoth mi amiyou ema: Kristo notho nikech richowa kaluwore gi Ndiko,
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 kendo ne oike, bangʼe ochiere oa kuom joma otho chiengʼ mar adek kaluwore gi Ndiko,
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 kendo ne ofwenyore mokwongo ne Petro, bangʼe nofwenyore ne joote apar gariyo.
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 Bangʼ mano nofwenyore ni jowete moloyo mia abich, ka gin kanyachiel, kendo thothgi pod ngima nyaka sani, kata obedo ni moko kuomgi osetho.
Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 Achien nofwenyore ne Jakobo; bangʼe nofwenyore ne joote duto,
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 eka achien mogik, ne ofwenyorena apoya an bende, mana ka nyathi mobwogi.
and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9 An e jaote matinie mogik, to bende ok awinjora mondo oluonga ni jaote, nikech ne asando kanisa Nyasaye.
For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
10 To koro, kuom ngʼwono mar Nyasaye, an gima an, kendo ngʼwono mane omiya ne ok orem mak ochopo tichne. Chutho, asetiyo matek moloyo joote mamoko duto, to ok asetimo mago duto gi tekra awuon, to mana kuom ngʼwono mar Nyasaye ma an-go.
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.
11 Omiyo kata bed ni an ema ne ayalonu Injili kata gin ema ne giyalonu, to ma e gima waduto wayalo kendo ema ne uyie.
Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
12 To ka iyalo ni Kristo osechier oa kuom joma otho, to angʼo momiyo jomoko kuomu wacho ni joma otho ok bi chier?
Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some amongst you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Ka en adier ni joma otho ok chier, to mano nyiso ni kata Kristo bende pok ochier?
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
14 To ka Kristo pok ochier, to wayalo kayiem, kendo yie maru bende onge tiende.
If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
15 To moloyo mano, wadoko joneno mariambo kuom Nyasaye nikech wasebedo ka wanyiso ji ni Nyasaye ema ne osechiero Kristo oa kuom joma otho. To kara ne ok ochiere ka en adier ni joma otho ok chier?
Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.
16 Nikech ka joma otho ok chier, to kata Kristo bende pok ochier.
For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17 To ka Kristo pok ochier, to yie maru en nono; kendo pod ulal alala e richou.
If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18 Mano nyiso bende ni jo-Kristo mosetho bende olal.
Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Ka genowa kuom Kristo nigi tiende mana e ngimani kende, to kare wan joma odhierie moloyo ji duto.
If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
20 To adiera en ni Kristo osechier oa kuom joma otho. Chierneno en kaka gir singo manyiso ni joma osetho e liel bende ibiro chiero.
But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
21 Nikech kaka tho noa kuom ngʼat achiel e kaka chier mar joma otho bende osebiro koa kuom ngʼat achiel.
For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
22 Mana kaka ji duto tho nikech Adam, e kaka ji duto nobed mangima nikech Kristo.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23 To gigi nyaka timre e yo mochanore: Kristo mane okwongo chier kaka olemo mokwongo chiek, eka bangʼe joma ni kuome bende nochier chiengʼ manoduogi.
But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Bangʼ mano, giko nochopi, mi Kristo nolo joloch duto, nolo teko duto kendo nolo nyalo duto, eka nodwok pinyruoth ni Nyasaye Wuoro,
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.
25 nimar Kristo nyaka bed gi loch nyaka chop Nyasaye lo wasigu duto, mi oketgi e bwo tiende.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Jasigu manotieki achien mogik en tho,
The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 nikech ndiko wacho niya, “oseketo gik moko duto e bwo tiende.” To ka ndiko wuoyo kuom “gik moko duto” to ongʼere ni mano ok oriwo Nyasaye owuon nikech en ema oketo gik moko duto e bwo loch Kristo.
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.
28 To ka gik moko duto oseketi e bwo loch Kristo, bangʼe en bende enobed e bwo loch Nyasaye, mane oketo gik moko duto e bwoye, mondo Nyasaye obed gi loch ewi gik moko duto.
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.
29 To kapo ni chier onge, to ere tiende batiso ji ewi joma osetho? Ka joma otho ok chier, to ibatiso ji e wigi nangʼo?
Or else what will they do who are baptised for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptised for the dead?
30 To kata mana wan, angʼo ma dimi wachom masira seche duto?
Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 Jowetena, kaka un e sungana kuom Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo awachonu ka aramo, ni tho ochoma pile!
I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 Ka dipo ni ne akedo gi le makwiny e dala Efeso mana nikech dwach dhano to ohala mane ma ayudo? Ka joma otho ok chier, to we wachiem kendo wamethi, nikech kiny wanatho.
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.”
33 Kik ngʼato wuondu. Ngʼeuru niya, “Bedo e lalruok kod joma richo ketho timbe mabeyo.”
Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
34 Dwoguru e pachu maliw, daguru ngima makare kendo weuru timo richo, nikech nitie jomoko kuomu makia Nyasaye. Awacho kamano mondo akuodgo wiu.
Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35 To ngʼato nyalo penjo niya, “Joma otho ichiero nadi? To jogi nobed gi ringruok machalo nade?”
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
36 To mano penjo mofuwo manade! Ka uchwoyo kodhi, to nyaka okuong otho eka bangʼe otwi.
You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 Ka uchwoyo, to ok en cham hie mabiro wuok bangʼe, to en mana kodhi kende. Onyalo bedo koth ngano kata koth cham moro amora.
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.
38 To Nyasaye miye kido mana kaka en ema osechano, kendo kodhi ka kodhi omiyo kite owuon.
But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 Ringruok duto ok chalre. Dhano nigi kit ringruok moro, to le nigi machielo, winy bende nigi machielo, kendo rech bende nigi machielo.
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.
40 Nitie bende chwech mag polo gi chwech mag piny, kendo kit duongʼ mar chwech mag polo opogore gi kit duongʼ mar chwech mag piny.
There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
41 Wangʼ chiengʼ nigi kit ler ma mare owuon, to dwe bende nigi machielo, kendo sulwe bende nigi mare. Sulwe ka sulwe chiwo ler mopogore gi nyawadgi.
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.
42 Kamano bende e kaka chier mar joma otho biro chalo. Ringruok ma iyiko en gima tow, to ichiere ka en gima ok tow.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
43 Ka oike, to oonge gi duongʼ, to ichiere ka en gi duongʼ, to bende iyike ka onyap, to ichiere ka en gi teko,
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 kendo iyike kaka ringruok mar pinyni, to ichiere kaka ringruok mar polo. Ka nitiere ringruok mar piny, to nitiere bende ringruok mar polo.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
45 Emomiyo ondiki niya, “Adam ma en dhano mokwongo, nobedo ngʼat mangima” to Adam mogik nodoko chuny machiwo ngima.
So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 To mano mar Roho ok ema kuongi, to mar ringruok ema kuongo, eka bangʼe mar Roho.
However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
47 Dhano mokwongo nochwe gi lowo, to dhano mar ariyo noa e polo.
The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 Ngʼat mane ochwe gi lowo ema ji duto oa kuome, kamano bende e kaka jopolo duto oa kuom Jal mane oa e polo.
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.
49 Mana kaka wasebedo gi kido mar dhano mochwe gi lowo, e kaka wabiro chalo gi kido mar dhano moa e polo.
As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Jowetena, tiend gima awacho ema: Ringruok gi remo ok nyal chamo girkeni mar pinyruodh Nyasaye kendo gima tow ok nyal rwakore gi gima ok tow.
Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
51 Winjuru anena wach mopondoni: Ok wanatho waduto, to nolokwa wan duto apoya nono
Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 kadiemo wangʼ ka tungʼ mogik noywagi. Nikech ka turumbete noywagi to jomane osetho nochier gi ringruok ma ok tow, to wan to nolokwa ahucha.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
53 Mano notimre nikech ringruok matow nyaka rwakre gi ringruok ma ok tow, kendo ringruok mathoni nyaka rwakre gi ringruok ma ok tho.
For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 Kuom mano, ka ringruok matow oserwakore gi mano ma ok tow, kendo mano matho oserwakore gi mano ma ok tho, eka wach mondiki nochop kare, niya, “Tho oselo motiek chuth.”
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.”
“Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Lit mar tho en richo, to teko mar richo en chik.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 To erokamano ni Nyasaye. Omiyowa loch kuom Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo!
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Emomiyo, jowetena mageno, chunguru motegno. Kik uyie gimoro oyiengu. Chiwreuru chuth kinde duto ni tich Ruoth, nikech ungʼeyo ni tich mutiyo matek ne Ruoth ok obedo kayiem nono.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
