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.
Pacino cino cindi mobanse bame, ndayandanga kumwanushako Makani Aina ngondalamukambaukila. Mwalatambula cena pakwinga epashimpa lushomo lwenu.
2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
Lesa nakamupulushe ne Mulumbe Waina uwu, na kamusunga cena maswi akendi ngondalamukambaukila. Na mubula kwinseco, lushomo lwenu ingaluba lwabulyo.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: 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 and then to the Twelve.
Kayi palikuba makani akwambeti walabonekela kuli Petulo ne kuli batumwa likumi ne babili.
6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have 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 He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
Nomba pamapwililisho walabonekela kulinjame ondyeti mwana ngobalayambakanya.
9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church 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, 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.
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 was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
Neco ncondalikukambauka nambi ncobalikukambauka nabambi, nsombi twense tulakambaukunga Mulumbe umo umo uwo ngomulashomonga.
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?
Lino, pakwinga mulumbe wetu niwakwambeti Klistu walapunduka kubafu, inga nipacebo cini nabambi mulinjamwe ncobela kwambileti bafwa nteti bakapunduke?
13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
Pakwinga na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, ekwambeti nendi Yesu uliya kupunduka kubafu.
14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
Anu na Klistu uliya kupunduka kubafu, ncotulakambaukunga nicabulyo, kayi nekushoma kwenu nikwabulyo.
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.
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, then not even Christ has been raised.
Neco, na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, anu neye Yesu uliya kupunduka sobwe.
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; 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 those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Kayi ngacipandululeti abo balafwa kabali bashoma muli Yesu, bafwa kufwililila.
19 If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
Na kupembelela kwetu muli Klistu nikwabuyumi bwacino cindi conka, ekwambeti afwe ingatuba ne nsoni kupita bantu bonse mucishi capanshi.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Nomba cakubinga nicakwambeti, Lesa walamupundusha Klistu kubafu kuba citondesho cakwambeti, uliyense eti akafwe nakapundushiwe kubafu.
21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
Mbuli lufu ncolwalesa pacebo ca muntu umo, cimocimo nekupunduka kubafu kwalesa pacebo ca muntu umo.
22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Mbuli Adamu ncalatuletela lufu twense, nenjafwe twense Klistu nakatupundushe kubafu.
23 But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
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 will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, 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 to be destroyed is death.
Mulwani wakupwililisha eti akomwe ni lufu.
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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
Nipacebo cini afwe ncotulabikilinga buyumi bwetu mumapensho cindi conse?
31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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 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.”
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: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
“Kamutabepwa. Cinga cakwenda pamo ne bantu bakute bwikalo bwaipa cikute kwipisha bwikalo bwaina.”
34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
Cangamukani! Shiyani bwikalo bwenu bwaipa. Ndambanga cakumupa nsoni pakwinga mobambi nkamumwishi Lesa.
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
Naumbi muntu ngawipusheti, “Inga bafwa nibakapundukeconi? Nibakabe ne mibili ilyeconi?”
36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
Uku nikwipusha kwakutabila! Mukute mwafumbika nseke mubulongo, nkaikute kumena kaitana ibeti ilabolo.
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
Kayi nkamwela kubyala nseke shamena kendi, nsombi inseke shine, na ni shamaila nambi shacishango camushobo uliwonse.
38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
Lesa eukute kupa mbuto imo ne imo mubili, kwelana ne kuyanda kwakendi.
39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
Munyemfu wabintu byonse bikute buyumi nkawakoshana sobwe, bantu bakute munyemfu umbi, banyama bakute umbi, nasho inswi shikute munyemfu umbi.
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.
Pali mibili yakwilu, kayi neya pacishi capanshi, nabo bulemu bwa mibili yakwilu bwapusana ne bulemu bwa mibili yapacishi capanshi.
41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
Lisuba nkalyakoshana ne mwenshi, nawo mwenshi nkawakoshana ne nyenyenshi, nasho nyenyenshi nkashakoshana sobwe.
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is 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. If there is a natural body, 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 it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
Pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Adamu muntu mutanshi walalengweti abe muyumi” Nomba Adamu wakupwililisha emushimu ukute kupa buyumi.
46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
Neco, tulabono kwambeti ntewo mubili wa mushimu wela kutanguna, nsombi usa mubili wabuntu, wakonkapo ni mubili wa mushimu.
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
Muntu wakutanguna walikuba wapacishi capanshi, kayi walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo, muntu walakonkapo walafumina kwilu kumayoba.
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.
Mbuli muntu wakutanguna walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo ncalikuba encobabele bapacishi capanshi, mbuli uyo wakwilu kumayoba ncabele encobabele nabo bakwilu.
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
Lino mbuli ncotwakoshana ne uyo walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo, kayi nitukakoshane ne uyo walafuma kwilu kumayoba.
50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the 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 Listen, 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 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.
Pakwinga tolompita yakalila twense nitukashinte popelapo, mbuli kukapula kwa linso. Pakwinga tolompita yakalila bafwa nibakapunduke, nteti tukafwepo kayi twense nitukashinte.
53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
Pakwinga mibili ikute kubola yela kuba itabolo. Cikute kufwa cela kushinta kuba citafu.
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.”
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 and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Neco, mobanse bame, kamwimanani ncili. Sebensani ncito ya Mwami cindi conse, pakwinga mucisheti ncito ya Mwami njemulenshinga nteyo yabulyo sobwe.
