1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
Ashaalongo ajangunji, nnaino ngunapinga ninkumbushiyanje ga Ngani ja Mmbone jinannungushiyenje jila, na mmanganya gunnjiposhelenje nikwiishimilika najo.
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
Kwa pitila jenejo nnatapulwanga, ibhaga nngabhikangaga mmitima guninnungushiyenje, na ibhaga kulupalila kwenunji kukabhe kwayoyo.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Nne nashinkumpanganga ntenga gwa mana gunaposhele gula, kuti a Kilishitu bhashinkuwa kwa ligongo lya yambi yetu, malinga shigalugula Majandiko ga Ukonjelo.
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
Na kabhili bhashinkushikwa, na lyubha lya tatu gubhayushiywe, malinga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo shigalugula.
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Na kabhili nammalanjilenje kuti, gubhaakoposhele a Kepa, na kungai likumi limo na bhabhili bhala.
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
Gakapiteje genego gubhaakoposhelenje bhandu mmia nng'ano gwanakamo, mpaka pungujandika pano bhananji bhabhakotonji, ikabheje bhananji bhawilenje.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
Kungai gubhaakoposhele a Yakobho na ashimitume bhowe.
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
Bhakaakoposhelanjeje bhowe, gubhangoposhele na nne, naliji malinga mwana abhelekwe mobha gakanabhe malila.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
Pabha nne najwakumpelo munkumbi gwa ashimitume, na wala ngapinjikwa kushemwa ntume, pabha nashinkulishima likanisha lya a Nnungu.
10 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.
Ikabheje kwa nema ja a Nnungu, njibha ntume malinga shini shino, nema jabho kwangu nne jangabha jayoyo. Nne njitenda liengo kupunda bhowe, nngabha nne, ikabhe nema ja a Nnungu jitenda liengo na nne.
11 Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
Ikabheje nkali nneyo, ibhe bhanganyabho, eu nne, jejino ni ngani jitulunguya na ni jinkukulupalilanga.
12 Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Pabha, nnaino inalunguywa kuti a Kilishitu bhashiyuka bhakaweje, ashaajenunji bhana bhaakombolanga bhuli kubheleketa kuti bhawilenje bhakayukanga?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
Bhai, monaga bhawilenje bhakayukanga, nabhalabho a Kilishitu bhangayuka,
14 If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
na monaga a Kilishitu bhangayuka, bhai kulunguya kwetu kwayoyo na ngulupai jenunji jayoyo.
15 Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.
Punda gowego, uwe tunabhoneka tubhakong'ondela bha unami kwa a Nnungu, pabha tushikong'ondela kuti, a Nnungu bhashinkwaayuya a Kilishitu, ibhaga kweli bhawilenje bhakayukanga, bhai bhangaayuya.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
Pabha ibhaga kweli bhawilenje bhakayukanga, bhai nabhalabho a Kilishitu bhangayuka.
17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
Monaga a Kilishitu bhangayuka, bhai ngulupai jenunji jayoyo, launo nninginji na yambi yenunji.
18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Punda genego bhowe bhawilenje bhali bhalundenenje na a Kilishitu, bhaobhilenje.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
Ibhaga twaakulupalile a Kilishitu kwa jene ndamo jinope, bhai uwe tubhandu bha bhonelwa shiya, kupunda bhandu bhowe pa shilambolyo.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
Ikabheje ni kweli kuti, a Kilishitu bhayushile bhakaweje, ni bha ntai kuyuka kwa bhawilenje.
21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
Pabha, malinga shiwo shishiika pashilambolyo kupitila mundu, nneyo peyo na ga yuka bhawilenje, gashiika kupitila mundu juna.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
Malinga bhandu shibhawanganga nilundana na a Adamu, nneyo peyo bhowe shibhayuywanje nilundana na a Kilishitu.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.
Ikabheje kila mundu shaayuywe namuna jakwe, bha ntai kuyuywa ni a Kilishitu, nikwiya bhowe bhalinginji bha a Kilishitu, mobha gushibhaishe.
24 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.
Penepo shiguishe mpelo, a Kilishitu pushibhaakamuye Atati a Nnungu upalume gwabho, bhapeyaga kila upalume na ukulungwa na kila mashili.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
Pabha a Kilishitu bhanapinjikwa bhatagwale, mpaka a Nnungu pushibhaabhikanje ashaamagongo ajabho pa makongono gabho.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
Mmagongo nnjabho shaapeywe kumpelo, shaabhe shiwo.
27 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.
Pabha Majandiko ganalugula, “A Nnungu bhashikwiibhika indu yowe pamakongono gabho.” Ikabheje Majandiko pugaalugula kuti, “Indu yowe shibhailibhatile nkwiitagwala,” penepo a Nnungu bhakwa muindumo, pabha bhenebho ni bhakwiibhika indu yowe pai jabho a Kilishitu.
28 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.
Ikabheje indu yowe ibhikwaga pai ja ukulungwa gwa a Kilishitu, penepo Mwana nnyene shaabhikwe pai ja ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu, nkupinga a Nnungu bhatagwale indu yowe.
29 Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?
Bhai, ibhaga kuyuka kwakwa, bhuli, bhandunji bhaabhatishwanga kwa ligongo lya bhawilenje bhala, shibhatendanje nndi? Ibhaga bhawilenje bhakayukanga, kwa nndi kubhatishwa kwa ligongo lya bhawilenje?
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
Uwe kwa nndi tunakwiibhika mwaajogoya mobha gowe?
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Ashaalongo ajangu, nne mobhaga nguti, ngunakwiibhika nshiwo! Shingwiipunila kwenu mmanganyanji, ni lundana kwenunji na a Kilishitu Yeshu Bhakulungwa bhetu, inandenda nunguye gegano.
32 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.”
Ibhaga tumbilila kwangu kukaliji kwa shigundupe, bhai, kukomana kwangu na makoko ga munng'itu, yani bhandunji bha ku Epesho bhala, kumbwaile nndi? Monaga bhawilenje bhakayukanga, bhai, “Tulye na papila, pabha malabhi shituwe.”
33 Do not be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
Nnatembwanje, mikungulu jangali ja mmbone jinakumpuganya mundu.
34 Wake up righteously and do not sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
Nkolanje lunda kabhili malinga shinkupinjikwanga, nnatendanje yambi. Pabha bhananji bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu ukoto. Ngunabheleketa gegano, nkolanje oni!
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
Ikabheje mundu shaabhuye, “Bhaayukanga bhuli bhawilenje? Shibhayukanje na shiilu shashi?”
36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
Mmwe libhelu! Shinkupanda shikamela shikatandubhe kuwa.
37 That which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
Inkupanda mmbeju, pana mmbeju ja mpunga, eu jina na nngabha litepo lyowe.
38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
A Nnungu bhanakuipa litepo, malinga shibhaapinga bhayene, kila mmbeju na litepo lyakwe.
39 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.
Iilu ikalingana. Bhandunji bhashikolanga iilu yabhonji, na bhannyama yabhonji, na ijuni nneyo peyo iilu yabhonji, na yamaki nneyo peyo.
40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
Ipali iilu ya kunnungu, na iilu ya pa shilambolyo, kukonja kwa iilu ya kunnungu ni kuna, na kukonja kwa iilu ya pa shilambolyo kuna.
41 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.
Kupali kukonja kwa lyubha, na kukonja kwa mwei, na kukonja kwa ndondwa, nkali ndondwa inalekanila kwa konja.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
Nneyo peyo, pushiibhe ga yuka bhawilenje, malinga mmbeju, shiilu shinashikwa pai niangabhanika, ikabheje shinayuywa nibha shiilu sha ngaangabhanika.
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
Shiilu sha gundu pushishikwa shinanyegala, pushiyuywa shili na ukonjelo, na pushishikwa shangali mashili, ikabheje pushiyuywa shili na mashili.
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
Pushishikwa ni shiilu sha shibhelekwe, ikabheje pushiyuywa ni shiilu sha mbumu. Shipali shiilu sha shibhelekwe, na nneila peila shipali shiilu sha mbumu.
45 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Pabha Majandiko ganataya, “Mundu jwa ntai a Adamu, apengenywe nipegwa gumi”, ikabheje Adamu jwa kumpelo, ni Mbumu akwaapanganga bhandu gumi.
46 However, that which is spiritual is not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
Ikabheje shilongolela nngabha shiilu sha Mbumu, ikabhe shiilu sha shibhelekwe, kungai nikwiya shiilu sha mbumu shila.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
Adamu jwa ntai papengenywe kwa lilongo, paaliji jwa pa litaka, Adamu jwa bhili kwakopweshe kunnungu.
48 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.
Bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo, bhanalandana na mundu apengenywe na lilongo jula, na bhalinginji bha kunnungu bhala, bhanalandana na akopweshe kunnungu jula.
49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
Malinga shitulendene naka jwene apengenywe na lilongo jula, nneyo peyo shitulandane naka jwene akopweshe kunnungu jula.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
Bhai, ashaalongo ajangunji, nne nguti nnei, iilu yetu ipengenywe kwa nnyama na minyai ikaulishi Upalume gwa a Nnungu, wala shiangabhanika, shikalishi shangaangabhanika.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
Mpilikananje, ngunakummalanjilanga shinjubhi, nngabha kuti tubhowe tupingawa, ikabhe tubhowe shitutindiganywe,
52 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.
shangupe, malanga ga mmbila ja kumpelo, mbuti kukapila kwa meyo. Pabha mbalapala shijione, bhawilenje shibhayukanje na bhanaangabhanyikanje kabhili, na uwe shitutindiganywe.
53 For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Pabha inapinjikwa kila shiangabhanyika shinaangabhanyishe, yani shiilu shawa, shinawe.
54 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.”
Bhai, shiilu sha angabhanyika shino shibhaga sha ngaangabhanyika, yani shiilu shawa shila, shibhaga nngabha shawa, penepo shigatimilile Majandiko ga Ukonjelo ga kuti, “Shiwo shilepele na shipeshiywe.”
“Shiwo, mashili gako gali kwei?” “Kupoteka kwako kuli kwei?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Shiwo shinakola mashili ga bhulaga, kwa ligongo lya yambi, na yambi inakola mashili kwa ligongo lya Shalia ja a Musha.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ikabheje tunatenda eja kwa a Nnungu bhakututenda tukombole, kupitila ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Bhai, ashaalongo ajangunji nkupingwanga, nnjimangananje nninginji mwiishimilikenje ukoto. Mpundanje kamula liengo lya Bhakulungwa, nnikumumanyanga kuti, liengo lyenunji ku Bhakulungwa nngabha lya yoyo.
