1 Corinthians 15
1 Moreouer brethren, I declare vnto you the Gospel, which I preached vnto you, which ye haue also receiued, and wherein ye continue,
Zizan, mri vayi, mi son duyi to itre ndindi wa mi d'bu bla ni yiwu'a, wandi bi kpa ndi kri ni tuma'a.
2 And whereby ye are saued, if ye keepe in memorie, after what maner I preached it vnto you, except ye haue beleeued in vaine.
A nitu tre kii wa a kpayi ni chuwo, nitu bita vu lantre wa mi bla tsro yi nji gbangban, hamma ndi kpanyime mbi na u megen na.
3 For first of all, I deliuered vnto you that which I receiued, how that Christ died for our sinnes, according to the Scriptures,
Nitu rji ni mumla ma, kpe wa mi kpa a, mi vu sa yiwu ni wo, andi Kristi a kwuu nitu latre mbu, toh wa nhatre Bachi yo zi'a,
4 And that he was buried, and that he arose the third day, according to the Scriptures,
ndi ba ban'u rju, i ni vi u tra ba nzu'u lu, tsra ni wa ba nha zi'a.
5 And that he was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue.
Kristi a rju tsro tuma ni Kefas, mba ni wlon donha ba;
6 After that, he was seene of more then fiue hudreth brethren at once: whereof many remaine vnto this present, and some also are asleepe.
niki ala rju tsro tuma ni mri vayi wa bazan derli ton ni nkpu riri. Gbugbumba barhi he ni sisren, i bari ba kukru nna ye.
7 After that, he was seene of Iames: then of all the Apostles.
Ala tsro tuma ni Yakubu, mba ni manzani ba wawumba.
8 And last of all he was seene also of me, as of one borne out of due time.
Ni klekle, a tsro tuma nimu, too vren wa ba ngrji ni ndru ma.
9 For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not meete to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
Nitu mi nkle ni manzani ba. Mina mla wa ba yome manzo na, nitu mi tiya ni Ekklisiya Irji.
10 But by the grace of God, I am that I am: and his grace which is in me, was not in vaine: but I laboured more aboundantly then they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.
Hu kpa ndindi u Irji, mi kma ti ndji wa mi he zizan, i kpa ndindi ni tumu'a, ana u megen na. Nitu kima, mi tindu iya zan wawumbawu. Ana ndi ana me mena, ama ti ndindi u Irji nitu mu.
11 Wherefore, whether it were I, or they, so we preach, and so haue ye beleeued.
Nitu kii, anita hi me, ka baba, toki ki tsro yi nitu ma, nitu kii bi kpanyime niwu.
12 Now if it be preached, that Christ is risen from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Zizan, bata vu bla nitu Kristi ndi ba nzuu lu rji ni kwu, wa ahi ngye ni du bari mbi duba ni tre ndi tash'me rji ni kwuu na he na?
13 For if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
Ama tash'me rji ni kwuu nitina he na, niki Kristi ngame bana nzuu lu na;
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vaine, and your faith is also vaine.
anita he ndi bana nzuu Kristi lu na, niki vu bla nituma mbu a ndu megen, mba yo sron kri gbangban mbi a ndu megen ngame.
15 And we are found also false witnesses of God: for we haue testified of God, that he hath raised vp Christ: whome he hath not raised vp, if so be the dead be not raised.
Kita ngame ki k'ma ti bi bla kpi bi ce nitu Irji, nitu ki vu bla ndi Irji a nzuu Kristi lu rji ni kwuu. Ama ana nzuu lu na, anita njanji ndi bana nzuu biwa ba kwuu luna.
16 For if the dead be not raised, then is Christ not raised.
Bata nzu biwa ba kwuu luna, Kristi ngame bana nzuu luna;
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine: ye are yet in your sinnes.
i batana nzuu Kristi luna, kri gbangban mbi a hi u megen, nitu bi rhihe ni mi latre mbi.
18 And so they which are a sleepe in Christ, are perished.
Nikima, biwa ba ku kruna ni mi Kristi ba kwuu kado ngame.
19 If in this life onely wee haue hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.
Anita nitu vri u zizan yi bi yo sron ni Kristi, ki kma ti wa indji wawu ba yaba ni lo sron.
20 But nowe is Christ risen from the dead, and was made the first fruites of them that slept.
Ama zizan ba nzuu Kristi lu rji ni kwuu na mri klo kunkro u mumla wu biwa basi kruna.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
Nitu wa ikwuu ari ye zuni wa ndji ri, zu ni wo ndji ri ngame tash'ma u wa ba kwuu a.
22 For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue,
Niwa rji ni Adamu, wawu ba kwuu, nikima ngame, ni Kristi wawu ndji ba kpa vri u sisren.
23 But euery man in his owne order: the first fruites is Christ, afterward, they that are of Christ, at his comming shall rise againe.
Ama ko nha ni gru nkonma: Kristi, wa a hi mri klo kunkro u mumla, mba ndaka hu biwa babi Kristi, ba kma ba yeni sisren ni ye ma.
24 Then shalbe the end, when he hath deliuered vp the kingdome to God, euen the Father, when he hath put downe all rule, and all authoritie and power.
Niki klekle ni he, niwa ani ka ngbranko Irji sa ni Irji titi ni wo, nikima ani ju bi son ni tuchu u gbengblen rju ni ruron mba.
25 For he must reigne till hee hath put all his enemies vnder his feete.
Nitu a tsra wa ani ti mulki ka mla wa ani yo bi wa ba yo ni shishi nda kamba niwu ni ntan zama. Ikwuu yi ni u klekle nimi bi kamba
26 The last enemie that shalbe destroyed, is death.
ni wu wa ani chonba hle.
27 For he hath put downe all things vnder his feete. (And when he saith that all things are subdued to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put downe all things vnder him.)
Nitu “a yo ikpi wawu ni ntanza ma.” Ama bata tre andi, “a yo ikpi wawu,” a kri ni rira ndi ana nha ni wawu wa a yo ikpi wawu ni woma na
28 And when all things shalbe subdued vnto him, then shall the Sonne also himselfe be subiect vnto him, that did subdue all things vnder him, that God may be all in all.
Bata vu ikpi wawu yo ni woma, niki Vren a kima ni kma tuma yo ni wo wa ana yo ikpi wawu ni woma, nitu du Irji ka hon son nitu wawu.
29 Els what shall they doe which are baptized for dead? if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for dead?
Ka bi wa ba kpa batisma ni biwa ba kwuu a ba ti nihe? Batana nzuu biwa ba kwuu lu na, anitu ngye ba kpa batisma nitu mba?
30 Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre?
A hi ngye duta ni yo tu-mbu ni ya nton chachu.
31 By your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly.
Mi kwuu ni vi chachu! I wayi a njanji toh gbrensan mu ni tu-mbi, wandi mi he ni wu ni Kristi Yesu Bachimbu.
32 If I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after ye maner of men, what aduantageth it me, if the dead be not raised vp? let vs eate and drinke: for to morowe we shall die.
A hi ngye riba mu, mita ban ya ni nkon indji, niwa mi tsi ni nmarju ni Afisus, hama nitu ndi ba nzuu bi kwuu lu na? “Ki lu hi rhi ni so nitu mble kika kwuu.”
33 Be not deceiued: euill speakings corrupt good maners.
Du ba na gyuru yina, “Meme kpukpan zren ba kpa zren ngyengyere me ti meme.”
34 Awake to liue righteously, and sinne not: for some haue not ye knowledge of God, I speake this to your shame.
Du shishi me kpan! Mla son tsatsra me! Don-me ni zren ni lahtre. Nitu bari nimi mbi bana toh Irji na. Mi tre du ishan vu yi.
35 But some man will say, Howe are the dead raised vp? and with what body come they foorth?
I iri ni tre ndi, “Ba nzuu bi wa ba kwuu lu nihe, mba ni ikpa birime ba ye ni wu?”
36 O foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it die.
Wu u nkpran! Ikpe wa wu chu ana kma ye ni sisren na, hama ni a kwuu.
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shalbe, but bare corne as it falleth, of wheat, or of some other.
Ikpe wa wu chu'a ana kpa wa ni he na, ama wulo bi megen. Ani alkama ko kperi nkan.
38 But God giueth it a body at his pleasure, euen to euery seede his owne body,
Irji mba ni nu ikpa wa a too bi niwu, wulo bi nkankan ni kpa mba.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beastes, and another of fishes, and another of birdes.
Nma ba he ni nkankan mba wandi ana riri na, nikima, nma indji he, mba nma u ba nma rju, mba nma u ba nchinchen, mba bari u lambe.
40 There are also heauenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but the glorie of the heauenly is one, and the glorie of the earthly is another.
Gbungblu shulu mba bi meme ngame ba he ni ba kpamba nkankan. Ama kpan kri u gbungblu bi shulu a hi nkan i kpan kri u gbungblu meme hi bibiri nkan.
41 There is another glorie of the sunne, and another glorie of the moone, and another glorie of the starres: for one starre differeth from another starre in glorie.
Ikpan u Irji he, mba ikpan ri nkan u uwha, i ikpan u ntsintsen. Nikima ntsintsen iri hi nkan ni ntsinsten ri ni ikpan ma.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The bodie is sowen in corruption, and is raysed in incorruption.
Toki ngame ni lu tash'me u bi kwuu. Ikpe wa ba chuu ani glahle, i ikpe wa ba nzuu lu ana gla na.
43 It is sowen in dishonour, and is raysed in glory: it is sowen in weakenesse, and is raysed in power.
Ba chuu ni bwu, nda nzuu lu ni kpan. Ba chuu ni chonkpa, nda nzuu lu ni gbengblen kpa.
44 It is sowen a naturall body, and is raysed a spirituall body: there is a naturall body, and there is a spirituall body.
Ba chuu ni kpa ndji, nda nzuu lu ni kpa Ibrji. U toh nma kpa he, nma kpa nimi brji ni he ngame.
45 As it is also written, The first man Adam was made a liuing soule: and the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit.
Nikima ngame ba nha, “Indji u mumla Adamu a kma ti ndji u sron vri.” Adamu u klekle a kma ti ibrji u nu sron vri.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall.
Ama u ibrji'a ana ye guchi na, u meme rli, i u ibrji aka hu.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man is the Lord from heauen.
Indi u mumla a hi u meme, wa ba tiu ni hron meme. Indji u ha a rji ni shulu.
48 As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly.
Too wa wandi ba tiu ni hron meme he, tooki ngame biwa ba tiba ni hron meme, mba too indji wa a rji ni shulu he, tooki ngame biwa babi shulu.
49 And as we haue borne the image of the earthly, so shall we beare the image of the heauenly.
Too wa ki ban iwhi u indji u hron meme, ki ban iwhi u indji u shulu ngame.
50 This say I, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God, neither doeth corruption inherite incorruption.
Zizan mi tre wayi, mri vayi, andi nma mba iyi bana kpa gado ni Iko son Irji na. Nikima ngame ikpe u gla na kpa gado ikpe wa ana gla na.
51 Behold, I shewe you a secret thing, We shall not all sleepe, but we shall all be changed,
Ya! Mi hla kpe u katu tsi: Kina ku kruna wawumbu na, ama wawumbu ba kmata sran.
52 In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shalbe raysed vp incorruptible, and we shalbe changed.
Ba kma ta sran ni nton rir, ni tsi ngban shishi, ni fu njon u klekle. Nitu fu njon'a, biwa ba kwuu a ba nzuu lu ni kpa wa ana gla na, i wawumbu ki kma sran.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortall must put on immortalitie.
Nitu kima ikpa yi wa ani gla ani sru kpe wa ana gla na, i ikpa wa ani kwuu yi, ani sru kpa wa ana kwuu na.
54 So when this corruptible hath put on incorruption, and this mortall hath put on immortalitie, then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swallowed vp into victorie.
Ni nton wa ikpa u gla yi a ban wa ana gla na sru, mba niwa ikpa u kwuu yi ban wa ana kwuu na sru, niki itre ni ye wa ba nha zi, “Ba mryen ikwuu ni rhiku.”
“Ikwuu, wu rhiku me ni ntsen? Ikwuu ingwu nchi u ta me he ni ntsen?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sinne: and ye strength of sinne is the Lawe.
Ingyu nchi u ta u kwuu yi hi latre, i gbengblen latre a hi doka.
57 But thankes be vnto God, which hath giuen vs victorie through our Lord Iesus Christ.
Ama ki ngyiri ni Irji wa a nuta rhiku ni nkon wo Bachi mbu Yesu Kristi.
58 Therefore my beloued brethren, be ye stedfast, vnmoueable, aboundant alwayes in the worke of the Lord, forasmuch as ye knowe that your labour is not in vaine in the Lord.
Nituki, mri vayi u mla son mu, kri gbangban ni na du ikpe grju yi hle na. Ta kri ni tindu Bachi chachu, nitu bito ndi indu mbi ni Bachi na hi megen na.
