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.
Eshi embizusya bha kolo na mwailombo juu yizu lyana bhalombeleye amba mwaliposheye na hwemelele nalyo.
2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
Katika izu eli mwaushe nkashele mubhalikhate imara izu lyanabhalombeleye amwe afanaje mwaheteshe wene.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Nkashele pawandilo shanaposheye humuhimu naletile hwilimwe: neshe shehweli aje arengane ne nsimbo, Kristi afwiye kwajili yembibhi zwetu,
4 that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
alengane nensimbo asyelelwe naje azwoshele isiku elyatatu.
5 and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.
Naje abhonesha bhwa Kefa, antele hwabhala kumi na bhabhele.
6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
Antele abhoneshe hwa wakati umo abhoneshe hwa kolo na hwayiombo zaidi ya bhantu mia zisanu. Abhinji bado bhali womi, lelo bhamo bhagonile utulo.
7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Antele abhoneshe hwa Yakobo, antele abhonesha hwa tumwa bhonti.
8 And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
Mwisho wa gonti, abhoneshe hwiline neshe shila hwa mwana yapepwe husiku zwasezilisawa.
9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Afwanaje ane endi dodo hwa mitume. Sehwanziwa akwiziwe mtume, eshabhanza esha Ngolobhe
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.
Lelo hu neema eya Ngolobhe endi neshe shehali na neema yakwe hwaline seyali yewene. Badala yakwe nabhombile ebidii ashile wonti. Lelo senaline ne bali neema eya Ngolobhe yeli mhati yane.
11 Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
Eshi nkashile nene au bhebho ulombelela esho taminile esho.
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?
Eshe nkashele Kristi alombele we aje asyoshele hwa bhafwe, ebhe hwele mubhabhobho muyigo nahumo azwoshe bhabhafwiye?
13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
Lelo nkashele nahumo azwoshe abhafwe basi hata Kristi sagazweshele.
14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
Na nkashile Kristi sagazwoshele esho alombelele hwetu hubhe hwewene imani yetu abhe yewene.
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.
Na tipatihene aje bhashahidi bhwilenka ahusu Ungolobhe kwa sababu tishuhudie Ungolobhe sha hwisalo aje azwozwe Kristi wakati sagazwozwezwe.
16 For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
Nkashile abhafwe sebhazwoha, U Yesu wape sagazwoshele.
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
Nkashile Kristi sagazwoshele ahwamini hwetu ni bure na msele mlimbibhi zwenyu.
18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Esho hata bhala bhabhafwiye katika Kristi bhape bhatejele.
19 If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
Nkashele humaisha ega gene yaje tilinoujasili hwa wakati wa wayenza mhati mwa Kristi abhantu wonti, atee tibhalongwe zaidi ya bhantu wonti.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Lelo eshi Kristi azwoshele afume hwabhafwiye, madodo agahwande gabhala bhabhafwiye.
21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
Afwanaje efwa ehenzele ashilile umuntu, antele ashilile muntu azwosyewe hwa bhabhafwiye.
22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Afwatanaje nkashele katika u Adamu bhantu bhonti bhafwa, esho nantele katika Kristi bhayibhombwa womi wakati ubhenze hwakwe.
23 But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
Lelo kila muntu katika shapajile hwakwe kristi madondo aga hwande antele bhala bhabhli Kristi bhayibhomba bhomi wakati uwahwenza hwakwe.
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.
Ndipo waibha umalilo, pala uKristi nayibha akabidhi umwene uwa Ngolobhe uBaba. Ene pala nayibha akomesya oungozi wonti nemamlaka gonti ne nguvu zwonti.
25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
Afwatanaje lazima atawale mpaka nayibhabheha abhibhibha kwe pansi eye magagakwe.
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
Ubhibhi uamalishile uwnankayiziwe efwa.
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.
Afwanaje “abheshele kila hantu pansi pamanamagakwe.” Lelo neyanga abheshele kila hantu ni wazi aje ene sehusizwa bhala bhabhabhehwelwe kila muntu pansi yakwe yoyo.
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.
Wakati evintu vyonti vibhehwelwe pansi yakwe, antele Umwana wakwe yoyo ayibhelwa pansi ya mwahele ambaye abheshele evintu vyonti pansi yakwe. Ene ebhoneshe ili kwamba Ungolobhe uBaba abhe gonti katika vyonti.
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?
Au nantele bhabhombe yenu bhala bhabhahozwe kwajili bhabhafweye? Nkashile abhafwa sebhazwoha tee, yenu antele bhahozi wa kwajili yabho?
30 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
Naye nu tilimhatari kila sala?
31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Kolo na Yilombo bhane ashilile ahwisifu hwane katika amwe ambayo endinayo o katika Kristi Yesu Gosi wetu etangazwa eshe efwa kila lisiku.
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.”
Esaidila yenu katika enyelezwo ezwe bhanadamu nkashele nakhomene wanyama akhali ohwo hwa Efeso, nkashile bhabhafwiye? “Sebhazwoha leha basi tilyaje na mwele, afwanaje sandabho taifwa.”
33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Mganje akhopelwe sololile amabhibhi gunankanya etabia enyinza.
34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
“Mubhanje nekiasi! mkhalaje katika lyoli mgaje ahwendele abhombo embibhi. Afwanaje bhamobhamo kati yenyu sebhanowelewa uwa Ngolobhe eyanga eshi kwa esoni zwenyu.
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
Lelo umuntu uhwenje abhayanje, Hwele abhafwe bhazwoha? Wape bhayenza neshe hwelebhwele nobele?”
36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
Awe ulilema tee! shila shahatotile seshiwezizwe ahwande amele isipokua shifwiye.
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
Na shila shotota se bele ambao gwaibha bali mbeyu yechi puye ahwezizwe abhengano au hantu ahamwao.
38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
Lelo Ungolobhe ayipela ubele shasongwelwe umwahale na katika kila mbeyu bele ngwakwe mwenyewe.
39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
Amabele gonti segelengene isipokuwa gahweli amabele gwa bhantu ubele gumo gwe makoko na ubele gumo wenyonyi gumo kwe samaki.
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.
Antele gahweli amabele amwanya na mabele agapansi. Lelo uhwinza wakwe ubele ugwamwanya ni halimo nowa pansi hwenje.
41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
Huli uwinza umo wisaya na uwinza umo wemwezi, na uwinza umo wentondwe afwatanaje entondwe emo elegene nento ndwe uwinza.
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.
Esho shashihweli nante azwozwewe bhabhafwiye shitotwa shinanjiha shashimela seshinanjiha.
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
Shitolilwe katika amatumizi agekawada shimezewa katika uwinza shitotilwa katika uswogusu shimezewa katika enguvu.
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.
Shitotilwe katika ubele wa silishimezwa katika ubele ushiroho nkashile kuguhweli ubele ugwe asili gwape ugweshiro guhweli.
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
Esho antele esimbwilwe muntu uwa hwanda yuadamu abhombwelwe roho yekhala.” u Adamu uwamalisholo abhombeshe roho yefumya owomi.
46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
Lelo uwe shiroho sagahenzele kwanza bali uwe asili napande uweshiroho.
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
Umuntu uwa hwande wa pansi alengenyezewe humankondi. Umuntu uwabhele afumile umwanya.
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.
Neshe ula yalenganyiziwe humana ondi shesho antele bhala bhabhale ngenywe humankondi. Nkashile ula umuntu umbinguni shahweli nantele bhala abhamwanya.
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
Kama ambavyo tumebeba mfano wa mtu wa mavumbi, tutabeba pia mfano wa mtu wa mbinguni.
50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Eshe embabhola kolo na yilombo bhane aje ubele nedanda seviwezizwa aghale umwene uwa Ngolobhe, hata uwanankaye uwaghale wasiunajiha.
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
Enye! Embabhola amwe esiri eyelyoli: Hetaifwa ntenti bali tenti bhonti bhaigalunyiwa.
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.
Taigalunyizwa katika uwa sizue na damlehwiliso katika endundwe eyahumalisho, afwatanale endundwe zwailila na bhabhafwiye bhaizwoha nehali eyesitenachishe.
53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
Maana uu wananjishe lazima ukwate waseunanjiha nogu wa fwa lazima ukwate wasegwa fwe.
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.”
Lelo uwakati owo wa nachishe wakwatiziwa sintenachishe huu uwafwe nkaukwate usintefwe, ndipo gwayenza enjango ambao usibwilwe, “Efwa emililwe katika ashindwe.”
“Efwa umenezwe waho ulihwi? Fwa ulihwi ulwoyo ulihwi?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Ulyoyo uwefwa ni ubhibhi na enguvu ye ubhibhi ni sheria.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Lelo ehusalifwa Ungolobhe, atipela ate amene ashilile uGosi wetu uYesu Kristi!
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.
Eshi bhasungwena bhakolo na mwailombo bhanji imara na mgaje ayinje. Antele yibhombi embombo eya Gosi, kwa sababu mumenye aje embombo yenyu katika Gosi sio wene.
