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,
Pacino cino cindi mobanse bame, ndayandanga kumwanushako Makani Aina ngondalamukambaukila. Mwalatambula cena pakwinga epashimpa lushomo lwenu.
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
Lesa nakamupulushe ne Mulumbe Waina uwu, na kamusunga cena maswi akendi ngondalamukambaukila. Na mubula kwinseco, lushomo lwenu ingaluba lwabulyo.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Ame ndalatambula makani alayandikinga, awo ngondalamwambila mbuli ncondalambilweti, Klistu walafwila bwipishi bwetu mbuli ncecalembwa mu Mabala a Lesa,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
kwambeti balamubika mumanda, nomba Lesa walamupundusha pabusuba bwa butatu mbuli Mabala Lesa ncalambanga.
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Kayi palikuba makani akwambeti walabonekela kuli Petulo ne kuli batumwa likumi ne babili.
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
Kayi walabonekela kuli beshikwiya bakendi bapita myanda isanu, bangi bacili bayumi lelo necikabeti nabambi bafwa.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
Pacindi nacimbi walabonekela kuli Jemusi ne kuli batumwa bonse.
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
Nomba pamapwililisho walabonekela kulinjame ondyeti mwana ngobalayambakanya.
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.
Ame njame mung'ana pabatumwa bonse, kayi nkandelela nekukwiweti mutumwa sobwe, pakwinga njame ndalikupensha mubungano wa Lesa.
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.
Nomba cebo ca kwambeti Lesa waina moyo, lelo nenjame ndemutumwa. Kwina moyo kwakendi ntelo kwabulyo sobwe, kayi ndalimbikila kusebensa ncito kupita batumwa nabambi, nomba ntame ndalikusebensa sobwe, nsombi ni kwinamoyo kwa Lesa.
11 Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
Neco ncondalikukambauka nambi ncobalikukambauka nabambi, nsombi twense tulakambaukunga Mulumbe umo umo uwo ngomulashomonga.
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?
Lino, pakwinga mulumbe wetu niwakwambeti Klistu walapunduka kubafu, inga nipacebo cini nabambi mulinjamwe ncobela kwambileti bafwa nteti bakapunduke?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
Pakwinga na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, ekwambeti nendi Yesu uliya kupunduka kubafu.
14 If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
Anu na Klistu uliya kupunduka kubafu, ncotulakambaukunga nicabulyo, kayi nekushoma kwenu nikwabulyo.
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.
Pelu palico, ingacilesheti afwe tulabepenga Lesa, pakwambeti Lesa walapundusha Yesu kubafu. Na nicakubinga kwambeti bafwa nteti bakapunduke, anu Lesa uliya kumupundusha Yesu kubafu.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
Neco, na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, anu neye Yesu uliya kupunduka sobwe.
17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
Kayi na Lesa uliya kumupundusha Yesu, okwambeti lushomo lwenu muli Klistu nilwabulyo, kayi mucili panshi pangofu yabwipishi.
18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Kayi ngacipandululeti abo balafwa kabali bashoma muli Yesu, bafwa kufwililila.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
Na kupembelela kwetu muli Klistu nikwabuyumi bwacino cindi conka, ekwambeti afwe ingatuba ne nsoni kupita bantu bonse mucishi capanshi.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
Nomba cakubinga nicakwambeti, Lesa walamupundusha Klistu kubafu kuba citondesho cakwambeti, uliyense eti akafwe nakapundushiwe kubafu.
21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
Mbuli lufu ncolwalesa pacebo ca muntu umo, cimocimo nekupunduka kubafu kwalesa pacebo ca muntu umo.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
Mbuli Adamu ncalatuletela lufu twense, nenjafwe twense Klistu nakatupundushe kubafu.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.
Nomba Lesa nakapundushenga muntu uliyense pacindi cakendi camwelela. Cakutanguna Lesa walapundusha Klistu cisepo citanshi, kayi Klistu akesa nakapundushe abo bashoma muliendiye.
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.
Popelapo mapwililisho acishi nakashike, Klistu akakoma bendeleshi bamishimu yaipa bonse, bulelo bonse ne ngofu shonse nakatwale Bwami mumakasa a Lesa Baishi.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
Neco Klistu welela kwendelesha bulelo kushikila cindi Lesa ncoti akakome balwani bakendi, ne kubabika panshi pamyendo yakendi Klistu.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
Mulwani wakupwililisha eti akomwe ni lufu.
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.
Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Lesa labiki bintu byonse panshi pa myendo ya Mwana muntu.” Paliya kutonshana nditu pamaswi akwambeti, “bintu byonse” Nkabilasankanyangaponga Lesa mwine uyo labikinga bintu byonse kuli Klistu.
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.
Neco bintu byonse byakabikwa mubwendeleshi bwa Klistu, nendi nakalibike panshi pa bwendeleshi bwa Baishi abo balabika bintu byonse panshi palyendiye, kufumapo Lesa nakendeleshe kwakupwililila kucindi cacindi.
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?
Ingalino, cilyeconi kubantu abo balabatishiwanga pacebo ca bantu bafwa? Nicani ncobela kwinsa? Na nicakubinga kwambeti Lesa nkelela kupundusha bafwa, mbuli bantu ncobalambanga, inga nipacebo cini bantu ncobalabatishiwanga cebo cabafwa beti bakabule kupundushiwa?
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
Nipacebo cini afwe ncotulabikilinga buyumi bwetu mumapensho cindi conse?
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Mobanse bame, ame ndalangananga nelufu busuba ne busuba. Nomba ndambilishinga kulitunta kwakame palinjamwe, nikulitunta kwa buyumi bwetu muli Klistu Yesu, kayi ecilampanga kwambeco.
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.”
Lino na ndalalwana ne bantu abo bela kwambweti nibanyama kuno ku Efenso, kupitila mumiyeyo ilafumunga kubantu, inga ndalacanapo cani? Neco na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, anu caina kwinsa mbuli ncobakute kwambeti. “Katulyani ne kunwa. Pakwinga lilo nitukafwe.”
33 Do not be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
“Kamutabepwa. Cinga cakwenda pamo ne bantu bakute bwikalo bwaipa cikute kwipisha bwikalo bwaina.”
34 Wake up righteously and do not sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
Cangamukani! Shiyani bwikalo bwenu bwaipa. Ndambanga cakumupa nsoni pakwinga mobambi nkamumwishi Lesa.
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
Naumbi muntu ngawipusheti, “Inga bafwa nibakapundukeconi? Nibakabe ne mibili ilyeconi?”
36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
Uku nikwipusha kwakutabila! Mukute mwafumbika nseke mubulongo, nkaikute kumena kaitana ibeti ilabolo.
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.
Kayi nkamwela kubyala nseke shamena kendi, nsombi inseke shine, na ni shamaila nambi shacishango camushobo uliwonse.
38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
Lesa eukute kupa mbuto imo ne imo mubili, kwelana ne kuyanda kwakendi.
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.
Munyemfu wabintu byonse bikute buyumi nkawakoshana sobwe, bantu bakute munyemfu umbi, banyama bakute umbi, nasho inswi shikute munyemfu umbi.
40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
Pali mibili yakwilu, kayi neya pacishi capanshi, nabo bulemu bwa mibili yakwilu bwapusana ne bulemu bwa mibili yapacishi capanshi.
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.
Lisuba nkalyakoshana ne mwenshi, nawo mwenshi nkawakoshana ne nyenyenshi, nasho nyenyenshi nkashakoshana sobwe.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
Umu emoti ikabele mibili pakupunduka kubafu. Mubili ngotukute kubika mumanda ukute kuya kubola, nomba wapundushiwa nteti ukabole sobwe.
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
Pakubika mubilli mumanda ukute koli waipa, kayi wabula ngofu, nomba pakupunduka nukabe wabeka! Ukute ngofu!
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.
Mubili ukute kubikwa mumanda ni mubili wabuntu, pakupunduka nukabe mubili wa mushimu. Nditu na pali mubili wabuntu, anu nawo mubili wa mushimu nkoli.
45 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Adamu muntu mutanshi walalengweti abe muyumi” Nomba Adamu wakupwililisha emushimu ukute kupa buyumi.
46 However, that which is spiritual is not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
Neco, tulabono kwambeti ntewo mubili wa mushimu wela kutanguna, nsombi usa mubili wabuntu, wakonkapo ni mubili wa mushimu.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
Muntu wakutanguna walikuba wapacishi capanshi, kayi walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo, muntu walakonkapo walafumina kwilu kumayoba.
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.
Mbuli muntu wakutanguna walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo ncalikuba encobabele bapacishi capanshi, mbuli uyo wakwilu kumayoba ncabele encobabele nabo bakwilu.
49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
Lino mbuli ncotwakoshana ne uyo walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo, kayi nitukakoshane ne uyo walafuma kwilu kumayoba.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
Mobanse bame, cintu ncondambanga nicakwambeti, muntu ukute mubili wa munyemfu ne milopa nkela kwingila mu Bwami bwakwilu sobwe, nambi cikute kufwa, kuba citabolo.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
Nyumfwani cancine ncine casolekwa, nteti tukafwe twense.
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.
Pakwinga tolompita yakalila twense nitukashinte popelapo, mbuli kukapula kwa linso. Pakwinga tolompita yakalila bafwa nibakapunduke, nteti tukafwepo kayi twense nitukashinte.
53 For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Pakwinga mibili ikute kubola yela kuba itabolo. Cikute kufwa cela kushinta kuba citafu.
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.”
Ici cakenshika kwambeti, cikute kubola cakashinta kuba citabolo, kayi ceshikufwa cakashinta kuba citafu, popelapo Mabala a Lesa nakakwanilishiwe alambangeti, “Lufu lulalobo kayi kukoma kulashiki.
Obe lufu inga kukoma kwakobe kulikupeyo? Obe lufu inga ngofu shakobe shilikupeyo?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Lufu lwalafuma kubwipishi, nabo bwipishi bwalafuma ku mulawo.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nomba tulalumbunga Lesa latupanga ngofu shakukoma kupitila muli Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu!
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.
Neco, mobanse bame, kamwimanani ncili. Sebensani ncito ya Mwami cindi conse, pakwinga mucisheti ncito ya Mwami njemulenshinga nteyo yabulyo sobwe.
