1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;
Bandeko na ngai, nalingi sik’oyo kozongisa lisusu na makanisi na bino, Sango Malamu oyo nateyaki bino, oyo boyambaki, oyo bomipesi na yango,
2 By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.
mpe oyo na nzela na yango bosili kobika, soki kaka bosimbi makasi Liloba oyo nateyaki bino; pamba te soki ezali bongo te, wana bondimelaki na bino kaka pamba.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures:
Liboso na nyonso, nateyaki bino mateya oyo ngai moko nazwaki: Klisto akufaki mpo na masumu na biso, kolanda Makomi;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures:
bakundaki Ye, mpe asekwaki na mokolo ya misato, ndenge Makomi elobaki yango liboso.
5 And that he was seen by Cephas; and after that by the eleven.
Amonanaki epai ya Petelo; sima, epai ya bantoma zomi na mibale.
6 Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep.
Sima na yango, amonanaki epai ya bandeko koleka nkama mitano na mbala moko; mpe mingi kati na bango bazali nanu na bomoi kino na tango oyo, kasi bamosusu basila kokufa.
7 After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
Bongo amonanaki epai ya Jake, mpe epai ya bantoma nyonso.
8 And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due time.
Sima na bango nyonso, amonanaki mpe epai na ngai, lokola epai ya mwana matsombe,
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
pamba te nazali moke penza kati na bantoma; mpe nakoki kutu te kobengama ntoma, mpo ete nanyokolaki Lingomba ya Nzambe.
10 But by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace in me hath not been void, but I have laboured more abundantly than all they: yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
Kasi na ngolu ya Nzambe, nazali oyo nazali lelo; mpe ngolu na Ye epai na ngai ezali ya pamba te. Kutu, nasalaki mosala mingi koleka bango nyonso; nzokande, ezali ngai te, kasi ezali nde ngolu ya Nzambe, oyo ezali elongo na ngai.
11 For whether I, or they, so we preach, and so you have believed.
Na mokuse, ezala ngai to bango, biso nyonso toteyaka kaka Sango Malamu oyo, mpe ezali Sango Malamu yango nde bondimaki.
12 Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Nzokande, soki toteyaka ete Klisto asekwaki kati na bakufi, ndenge nini bato mosusu kati na bino balobaka ete bakufi bakosekwa te?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen again.
Soki bakufi bakosekwa te, wana Klisto mpe asekwaki te.
14 And if Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
Mpe soki Klisto asekwaki te, wana mateya na biso ezali na tina te, mpe kondima na bino ezali pamba.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ; whom he hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again.
Mpe lisusu, soki ezali penza ya solo ete bakufi bakosekwa te, wana tozali batatoli ya lokuta na tina na Nzambe, pamba te totatoli lokuta na tina na Nzambe ete asekwisaki Klisto kati na bakufi. Nzokande soki ezali penza bongo ete bakufi bakosekwa te, wana Nzambe asekwisaki Yesu te.
16 For if the dead rise not again, neither is Christ risen again.
Solo, soki bakufi bakosekwa te, wana Klisto mpe asekwaki te;
17 And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain, for you are yet in your sins.
mpe soki Klisto asekwaki te, wana kondima na bino ezali na tina te, bozali nanu kati na masumu na bino,
18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished.
mpe bato oyo bakufi kati na Klisto babungi mpo na libela.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Soki totiaka elikya na Klisto kaka mpo na bomoi oyo, tozali penza bato na mawa koleka bato nyonso.
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep:
Kasi, solo, Klisto asekwaki kati na bakufi: azali Mosekwi ya liboso kati na bakufi.
21 For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.
Solo, lokola kufa eyaki na nzela ya moto moko, lisekwa mpe eyaki na nzela ya moto moko;
22 And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.
ndenge bato nyonso bakufaka kati na Adamu, ndenge wana mpe bato nyonso bakozwa bomoi kati na Klisto;
23 But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.
kasi moto na moto na tango na ye: Klisto akosekwa moto ya liboso; sima, tango akoya, bato oyo bazali ya Klisto bakosekwa.
24 Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.
Sima na yango nde suka ekoya, tango Klisto akozongisa bokonzi na maboko ya Ye oyo azali Nzambe mpe Tata, sima na Ye kobebisa lokumu nyonso, bokonzi nyonso mpe nguya nyonso.
25 For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
Pamba te Klisto asengeli kokonza kino Nzambe akotia banguna na Ye nyonso na se ya matambe na Ye.
26 And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith,
Kufa nde ezali monguna ya suka, oyo ekobebisama.
27 All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him.
Pamba te atiaki biloko nyonso na se ya matambe na Ye. Kasi wana alobi: « Nyonso ezali na se ya bokonzi na Ye, » etalisami polele ete esengeli te kotanga Nzambe oyo atiaki nyonso na se ya bokonzi na Ye.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Mpe sima na Nzambe kotia nyonso na se ya bokonzi na Ye, Ye moko Mwana akomitia na se ya bokonzi ya Nzambe oyo atiaki nyonso na se ya bokonzi na Ye, mpo ete Nzambe azala nyonso kati na bato nyonso.
29 Otherwise what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? why are they then baptized for them?
Soki lisekwa ezali te, bato oyo bazwaka libatisi mpo na bakufi bakosala nini? Soki bakufi bakosekwa te, mpo na nini bato bazwaki libatisi mpo na bango?
30 Why also are we in danger every hour?
Bongo biso, mpo na nini tokutanaka na makama tango nyonso?
31 I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Bandeko na ngai, mokolo na mokolo, nandimaka kokufa, wana namikumisaka na tina na bino kati na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
32 If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
Soki ezali kaka mpo na makambo ya bomoto nde nabundisaki banyama ya zamba kati na Efeso, litomba nini nazwaki? Soki bakufi bakosekwa te, « wana tika ete tolia mpe tomela, pamba te, lobi, tokokufa! »
33 Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
Bomikosa te: « Baninga mabe babebisaka bizaleli ya malamu! »
34 Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God, I speak it to your shame.
Bozongela makanisi ya malamu na ndenge ekoki mpe botika kosala masumu, pamba te bato mosusu kati na bino bayebi Nzambe te; nazali koloba yango mpo na koyokisa bino soni.
35 But some man will say: How do the dead rise again? or with what manner of body shall they come?
Kasi bato mosusu bakoki kotuna: « Bakufi bakosekwa ndenge nini? Bakozonga na bomoi na nzoto nini? »
36 Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first.
Bozangi nde mayele! Nkona oyo oloni ekoki te kozongela bomoi soki ekufi te.
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be; but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest.
Mpe nkona oyo oloni ezali te nzoto oyo nzete ekozala na yango tango ekobima; kasi ezali mbuma ya pamba, tango mosusu mbuma ya ble to mbuma mosusu.
38 But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.
Kasi ezali Nzambe nde apesaka yango nzoto oyo Ye moko abongisa, mpe apesaka nkona moko na moko nzoto na yango.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.
Bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi ezalaka na lolenge moko te ya nzoto: ezali na bokeseni kati na nzoto ya bato, ya banyama, ya bandeke mpe ya mbisi.
40 And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial.
Ezali mpe na banzoto ya Likolo mpe na banzoto ya se; mpe kongenga ya banzoto ya Likolo ekeseni na kongenga ya banzoto ya se:
41 One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory.
moyi ezali na kongenga na yango, sanza ezali na kongenga na yango, minzoto mpe ezali na kongenga na yango; kutu monzoto moko ekeseni na monzoto mosusu na kongenga.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall rise in incorruption.
Boye, ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na lisekwa ya bakufi: ekundami nzoto oyo epolaka, kasi ekosekwa nzoto oyo epolaka te;
43 It is sown in dishonour, it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness, it shall rise in power.
ekundami nzoto ya soni, kasi ekosekwa nzoto ya lokumu; ekundami nzoto ya bolembu, kasi ekosekwa nzoto ya nguya;
44 It is sown a natural body, it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written:
ekundami nzoto ya bomoto, kasi ekosekwa nzoto ya molimo. Soki nzoto ya bomoto ezali, nzoto ya molimo mpe ezali.
45 The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.
Yango wana ekomama: « Moto ya liboso, Adamu, akomaki ekelamu na bomoi, azalaki na bomoi ya bomoto; » kasi Adamu ya suka akomaki Molimo oyo apesaka bomoi.
46 Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterwards that which is spiritual.
Ezali te bomoi ya molimo nde eyaki liboso, ezali nde bomoi ya bomoto; bomoi ya molimo eyaki na sima.
47 The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly.
Moto ya liboso asalemaki na putulu ya mabele, azali moto ya mabele; kasi moto ya mibale awutaka na Likolo.
48 Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.
Ndenge moto ya mabele azali, ndenge wana mpe bato ya mabele bazali; mpe ndenge moto ya Lola azali, ndenge wana mpe bato ya Lola bazali.
49 Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.
Mpe lokola tolataki elilingi ya moto ya mabele, tokolata mpe elilingi ya moto ya Lola.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.
Bandeko na ngai, nazali koyebisa bino ete nzoto ya mosuni mpe makila ekoki te kokota na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, mpe oyo epolaka ekoki te kosangana na oyo epolaka te.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed.
Boyoka, nazali kotalisa bino mabombami: Biso nyonso, tokokufa te; kasi biso nyonso, tokobongolama,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed.
na mbalakata, noki penza, tango kelelo ya suka ekobeta. Pamba te kelelo ekobeta, bakufi bakosekwa na nzoto oyo epolaka te; bongo biso, tokobongolama.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality.
Solo, oyo epolaka esengeli kolata kozanga kopola, mpe oyo ekufaka esengeli kolata kozanga kokufa.
54 And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
Tango oyo epolaka ekolata kozanga kopola, mpe oyo ekufaka ekolata kozanga kokufa, na tango wana nde Liloba oyo ya Makomi ekokokisama: « Elonga emeli kufa.
Oh kufa, wapi elonga na yo? Oh kufa, wapi nguya na yo? » (Hadēs g86)
56 Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law.
Nguya ya kufa ezali masumu, mpe nguya ya masumu ezali Mibeko.
57 But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kasi tika ete Nzambe apesamela matondi, pamba te apesaka biso elonga na nzela ya Nkolo na biso, Yesu-Klisto!
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable; always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Yango wana, bandeko balingami, botelema ngwi mpe bomitika te ete baningisa bino. Bokendaka tango nyonso liboso kati na mosala ya Nkolo, wana boyebi malamu ete mosala na bino kati na Nkolo ezali ya pamba te.
