1 Corinthians 15
1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.
Ashaalongo ajangunji, nnaino ngunapinga ninkumbushiyanje ga Ngani ja Mmbone jinannungushiyenje jila, na mmanganya gunnjiposhelenje nikwiishimilika najo.
2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
Kwa pitila jenejo nnatapulwanga, ibhaga nngabhikangaga mmitima guninnungushiyenje, na ibhaga kulupalila kwenunji kukabhe kwayoyo.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: 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 and then to the Twelve.
Na kabhili nammalanjilenje kuti, gubhaakoposhele a Kepa, na kungai likumi limo na bhabhili bhala.
6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have 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 He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
Bhakaakoposhelanjeje bhowe, gubhangoposhele na nne, naliji malinga mwana abhelekwe mobha gakanabhe malila.
9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church 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, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that 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 was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
Ikabheje nkali nneyo, ibhe bhanganyabho, eu nne, jejino ni ngani jitulunguya na ni jinkukulupalilanga.
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of 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 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
Bhai, monaga bhawilenje bhakayukanga, nabhalabho a Kilishitu bhangayuka,
14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
na monaga a Kilishitu bhangayuka, bhai kulunguya kwetu kwayoyo na ngulupai jenunji jayoyo.
15 In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact 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, then not even Christ has been raised.
Pabha ibhaga kweli bhawilenje bhakayukanga, bhai nabhalabho a Kilishitu bhangayuka.
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
Monaga a Kilishitu bhangayuka, bhai ngulupai jenunji jayoyo, launo nninginji na yambi yenunji.
18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Punda genego bhowe bhawilenje bhali bhalundenenje na a Kilishitu, bhaobhilenje.
19 If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
Ibhaga twaakulupalile a Kilishitu kwa jene ndamo jinope, bhai uwe tubhandu bha bhonelwa shiya, kupunda bhandu bhowe pa shilambolyo.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Ikabheje ni kweli kuti, a Kilishitu bhayushile bhakaweje, ni bha ntai kuyuka kwa bhawilenje.
21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a 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 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 turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
Ikabheje kila mundu shaayuywe namuna jakwe, bha ntai kuyuywa ni a Kilishitu, nikwiya bhowe bhalinginji bha a Kilishitu, mobha gushibhaishe.
24 Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, 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 to be destroyed is death.
Mmagongo nnjabho shaapeywe kumpelo, shaabhe shiwo.
27 For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under 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 And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so 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 If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
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 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
Uwe kwa nndi tunakwiibhika mwaajogoya mobha gowe?
31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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 wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us 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: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Nnatembwanje, mikungulu jangali ja mmbone jinakumpuganya mundu.
34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant 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 ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
Ikabheje mundu shaabhuye, “Bhaayukanga bhuli bhawilenje? Shibhayukanje na shiilu shashi?”
36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
Mmwe libhelu! Shinkupanda shikamela shikatandubhe kuwa.
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
Inkupanda mmbeju, pana mmbeju ja mpunga, eu jina na nngabha litepo lyowe.
38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
A Nnungu bhanakuipa litepo, malinga shibhaapinga bhayene, kila mmbeju na litepo lyakwe.
39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
Iilu ikalingana. Bhandunji bhashikolanga iilu yabhonji, na bhannyama yabhonji, na ijuni nneyo peyo iilu yabhonji, na yamaki nneyo peyo.
40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.
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 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
Kupali kukonja kwa lyubha, na kukonja kwa mwei, na kukonja kwa ndondwa, nkali ndondwa inalekanila kwa konja.
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is 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. If there is a natural body, 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 it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam 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 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
Ikabheje shilongolela nngabha shiilu sha Mbumu, ikabhe shiilu sha shibhelekwe, kungai nikwiya shiilu sha mbumu shila.
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
Adamu jwa ntai papengenywe kwa lilongo, paaliji jwa pa litaka, Adamu jwa bhili kwakopweshe kunnungu.
48 As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
Bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo, bhanalandana na mundu apengenywe na lilongo jula, na bhalinginji bha kunnungu bhala, bhanalandana na akopweshe kunnungu jula.
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
Malinga shitulendene naka jwene apengenywe na lilongo jula, nneyo peyo shitulandane naka jwene akopweshe kunnungu jula.
50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Bhai, ashaalongo ajangunji, nne nguti nnei, iilu yetu ipengenywe kwa nnyama na minyai ikaulishi Upalume gwa a Nnungu, wala shiangabhanika, shikalishi shangaangabhanika.
51 Listen, 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 an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, 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 the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
Pabha inapinjikwa kila shiangabhanyika shinaangabhanyishe, yani shiilu shawa, shinawe.
54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been 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 and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Bhai, ashaalongo ajangunji nkupingwanga, nnjimangananje nninginji mwiishimilikenje ukoto. Mpundanje kamula liengo lya Bhakulungwa, nnikumumanyanga kuti, liengo lyenunji ku Bhakulungwa nngabha lya yoyo.
