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.
Zvino hama, ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai vhangeri randakakuparidzirai, iro ramakagamuchira uye ramakamira mariri.
2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
Nevhangeri irori munoponeswa, kana mukabatirira kwazvo pashoko randakakuparidzirai. Zvimwe makatenda pasina.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Nokuti zvandakagamuchira sezvinokosha pakutanga ndizvo zvandakakupaiwo: kuti Kristu akafira zvivi zvedu sezvazvakanyorwa muMagwaro,
4 that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
kuti akavigwa, akamutswa pazuva rechitatu sezvazvakanyorwa muMagwaro,
5 and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.
uye kuti akazviratidza kuna Petro, tevere kuna vane gumi navaviri.
6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
Mushure mezvo akazviratidza kuhama dzaipfuura mazana mashanu panguva imwe chete, vazhinji vavo vachiri vapenyu, kunyange zvazvo vamwe vavete.
7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Ipapo akazozviratidza kuna Jakobho, mushure mezvo kuvapostori,
8 And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
uye pakupedzisira akazozviratidza kwandiriwo, sokuna akazvarwa nguva isati yasvika.
9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Nokuti ndiri muduku kuvapostori vose, uye handikodzeri kunzi mupostori, nokuti ndakatambudza kereke yaMwari.
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.
Asi nokuda kwenyasha dzaMwari ndiri zvandiri uye nyasha dzake kwandiri hadzina kuva pasina. Kwete, ndakashanda kupfuura vose, asi ndisiri ini, asi nyasha dzaMwari dzaiva neni.
11 Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
Ipapo kunyange dai ndiri ini kana ivo, izvi ndizvo zvatinoparidza, uye izvi ndizvo zvamakatenda.
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?
Asi kana kuchiparidzwa kuchinzi Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, ko, vamwe venyu vangareva sei kuti hakuna kumutswa kwavakafa?
13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
Kana kusina kumutswa kwavakafa, saka naizvozvowo Kristu haana kumutswa.
14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
Zvino kana Kristu asina kumutswa, kuparidza kwedu hakuna maturo, saizvozvowo nokutenda kwenyu.
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.
Pamusoro pezvo, tichaonekwa tiri zvapupu zvaMwari zvenhema, nokuti takapupura kuti Mwari akamutsa Kristu kubva kuvakafa. Asi haana kumumutsa kana zvirokwazvo vakafa vasingamutswi.
16 For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
Nokuti kana vakafa vasingamutswi, saizvozvowo Kristu haana kumutswa kuvakafa.
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
Uye kana Kristu asina kumutswa, kutenda hakubatsiri; muchiri muzvivi zvenyu.
18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Naizvozvowo vose vakafa muna Kristu vakatorasikawo.
19 If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
Kana tine tariro muna Kristu nokuda kwoupenyu huno chete, tinonzwisa urombo kupfuura vanhu vose.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Asi, zvirokwazvo Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, akava chibereko chokutanga chavavete.
21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
Nokuti sezvo rufu rwakauya kubudikidza nomunhu mumwe, kumuka kuvakafa kwakauyawo kubudikidza nomunhu mumwe.
22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Nokuti, sokufa kwakaita vanhu vose muna Adhamu, naizvozvowo muna Kristu vose vachaitwa vapenyu.
23 But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
Asi mumwe nomumwe padzoro rake: Kristu chibereko chokutanga; ipapo paanouya, tevere vose vanova vake.
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.
Ipapo magumo achasvika, panguva yaachazopa umambo kuna Mwari Baba mushure mokunge aparadza ushe hwose, ukuru hwose nesimba rose.
25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
Nokuti anofanira kubata ushe kusvikira aisa vavengi vake vose pasi petsoka dzake.
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
Muvengi wokupedzisira achaparadzwa ndirwo rufu.
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.
Nokuti akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi petsoka dzake. Zvino kana achiti “zvinhu zvose” zvakaiswa pasi petsoka dzake, zviri pachena kuti izvi hazvisanganisiri Mwari pachake, iye akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi paKristu.
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.
Kana achinge aita izvi, ipapo Mwanakomanawo pachake achaiswa pasi paiye akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi pake kuti Mwari agova zvose mune zvose.
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?
Zvino kana kusina kumuka, ko, vakabhabhatidzirwa vakafa vachazoiteiko? Kana vakafa vasingamutswi, seiko vanhu vachivabhabhatidzirwa?
30 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
Uye kana tiri isu, tinozviisireiko panjodzi nguva dzose?
31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ndinofa zuva nezuva, ndinorevesa hama dzangu, zvirokwazvo sezvandinozvirumbidza pamusoro penyu muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.
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.”
Kana ndakarwa nezvikara paEfeso nokuda kwezvikonzero zvapanyama, zvakandibatsireiko? Kana vakafa vasingamutswi, “Ngatidyei uye tinwe, nokuti mangwana tichafa.”
33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Musanyengerwa: “Ushamwari hwakaipa hunoodza tsika dzakanaka.”
34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
Dzokai pandangariro dzenyu sezvamakafanira, uye murege kutadza; nokuti kuna vamwe vasingazivi Mwari. Ndinotaura izvi kuti munyadziswe.
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
Asi mumwe angabvunza achiti, “Ko, vakafa vanomutswa sei? Vachauya nomuviri wakaita seiko?”
36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
Upenzi hwakadii! Chaunodyara hachingameri kana chisina kufa.
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
Kana ukadyara haudyari muviri uchazovapo, asi tsanga bedzi, ingava yegorosi kana chimwe chinhuwo zvacho.
38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
Asi Mwari anoipa muviri sezvaanoda, uye kumbeu imwe neimwe muviri wayo.
39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
Nyama yose haina kufanana: Vanhu vane rumwe rudzi rwenyama, mhuka dzinewo rumwe rudzi, shiri rumwewo, uye nehove dzinewo rumwe.
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.
Kunewo miviri yokudenga, nemiviri yenyika; asi kubwinya kwemiviri yokudenga ndokumwe kubwinya, kwemiviri yapanyika ndokumwe.
41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
Zuva rino kubwinya kwaro, mwedzi unewo kumwe, nenyeredzi dzinewo kumwe; uye nyeredzi haifanani neimwe nyeredzi pakubwinya.
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.
Ndizvo zvazvichazova pakumuka kwavakafa. Muviri unodyarwa uri unoparara, unomutswa usisaparari;
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
unodyarwa pakuzvidzwa, unomutswa mukubwinya; unodyarwa muutera, unomutswa musimba;
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.
unodyarwa uri muviri wenyama, unomutswa uri muviri womweya. Kana kune muviri wenyama, kune muviri womweyawo.
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
Naizvozvo kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Munhu wokutanga, Adhamu, akava munhu mupenyu;” Adhamu wokupedzisira akava mweya unopa upenyu.
46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
Mweya hauna kuuya pakutanga, asi nyama, uye mushure mezvo mweya.
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
Munhu wokutanga akanga ari guruva renyika, munhu wechipiri akanga achibva kudenga.
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.
Sezvakanga zvakaita munhu wapanyika, ndizvowo zvakaita vaya vari venyika; uyewo sezvakaita munhu akabva kudenga, ndizvo zvakaitawo vaya vari vokudenga.
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
Uye sezvatakanga tine mufananidzo womunhu wapanyika, saizvozvowo tichava nomufananidzo womunhu akabva kudenga.
50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Zvino, hama, ndinoti kwamuri nyama neropa hazvingagari nhaka youmambo hwaMwari, uye zvinoparara hazvingagari nhaka yezvisingaparari.
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
Teererai, ndinokutaurirai chakavanzika: Hatingafi tose, asi tose tichashandurwa,
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.
pakarepo, sokubwaira kweziso, pahwamanda yokupedzisira. Nokuti hwamanda icharira, vakafa vachamutswa mukusaparara, uye tichashandurwa.
53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
Nokuti chinoparara chinofanira kufuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chinofanira kufuka kusafa.
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.”
Kana chinoparara chikafuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chikafuka kusafa, ipapo tsumo yakanyorwa ichazadziswa yokuti: “Rufu rwakamedzwa nokukunda.”
“Kuripiko kukunda kwako iwe rufu? Rwuripiko rumborera rwako, iwe rufu?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Rumborera rwerufu ndicho chivi, uye simba rechivi ndiwo murayiro.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Asi Mwari ngaavongwe! Anotipa kukunda kubudikidza naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
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.
Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, mirai makasimba. Pashayiwe chinhu chingakuzungunusai. Muchishandira Ishe zvikuru nguva dzose, nokuti munoziva kuti kubata basa kwenyu muna She hakungavi pasina.
