1 Corinthians 15
1 NOW I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I have preached unto you, and which ye have received, in which also ye have stood fast;
Naizvozvo, hama, ndinokuzivisai evhangeri yandakakuparidzirai, yamagamuchirawo, neyamumire mairi;
2 by which also ye are saved; if ye cleave to that word I have preached to you, except haply ye have believed in vain.
uye yamunoponeswawo nayo, kana muchibatisisa inzwi reevhangeri randakaparidza kwamuri, kunze kwekuti makatenda pasina.
3 For I delivered to you among the first things that which I also had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
Nokuti ndakakumikidza kwamuri pakutanga izvo zvandakagamuchirawo, kuti Kristu wakafira zvivi zvedu, zvichienderana nemagwaro;
4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
uye kuti wakavigwa, uye kuti wakamutswa nezuva retatu, zvichienderana nemagwaro;
5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
uye kuti wakaonekwa kuna Kefasi, pashure kune vanegumi nevaviri;
6 afterwards he appeared before five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater number remain alive unto this hour, but some also are gone to rest.
shure kweizvozvo wakaonekwa kuhama dzinopfuura mazana mashanu nguva imwe, vazhinji vavo vachiripo kusvikira ikozvino, asi vamwewo varara;
7 Afterwards he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
shure kweizvozvo wakaonekwa kuna Jakobho; pashure kuvaapositori vese.
8 And last of all he was seen also by me, who am but as an abortion.
Uye pakupedzisira kwevese akaonekwa neniwo, sekune wakazvarwa nguva isina kufanira.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Nokuti ini ndiri mudikisa wevaapositori, handifaniri kunzi muapositori, nokuti ndakashusha kereke yaMwari.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Asi nenyasha dzaMwari ndiri zvandiri, uye nyasha dzake dziri pandiri hadzina kuva pasina; asi ndakabata zvikuru kupfuura vese; zvakadaro handisi ini, asi nyasha dzaMwari dzineni.
11 Therefore whether I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Naizvozvo, kana ndiri ini kana ivo, saizvozvo tinoparidza uye saizvozvo makatenda.
12 But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Zvino kana Kristu achiparidzwa kuti wakamutswa kubva kuvakafa, vamwe pakati penyu vanoreva sei kuti hakuna kumuka kwevakafa?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither is Christ risen:
Asi dai pasina kumuka kwevakafa, naKristu haana kumutswa;
14 and if Christ be not risen, vain indeed is our preaching, and vain also your faith.
uye kana Kristu asina kumutswa, naizvozvo kuparidza kwedu hakuna maturo, nerutendo rwenyuwo harwuna maturo.
15 Yea, and we also are found false witnesses for God; because we have testified on the behalf of God, that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if indeed the dead are not raised.
Nesuwo tinowanikwa tiri zvapupu zvaMwari zvenhema, nokuti takapupura zvaMwari kuti wakamutsa Kristu iye waasina kumutsa, kana kuri kuti vakafa havamutswi.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ risen:
Nokuti dai vakafa vasingamutswi, Kristu haanawo kumutswa;
17 and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
uye dai Kristu asina kumutswa, rutendo rwenyu haruna maturo; muchiri muzvivi zvenyu.
18 Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Naizvozvo nevarere muna Kristu vaparara.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all other men.
Dai muupenyu huno tine tariro muna Kristu chete, tinonzwisa tsitsi kukunda vanhu vese.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.
Asi ikozvinowo Kristu wakamutswa kubva kuvakafa, akava chibereko chekutanga chevarere.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
Nokuti sezvo nemunhu rufu rwakauya, kumuka kwevakafawo kwakauya nemunhu.
22 For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Nokuti vese muna Adhamu sezvavanofa, saizvozvowo vese muna Kristu vachararamiswa.
23 But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ’s at his appearing.
Asi umwe neumwe padzoro rake; Kristu chibereko chekutanga, tevere avo vari vaKristu pakuuya kwake,
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have destroyed every dominion and every authority and power.
kozouya kuguma, paachazokumikidza umambo kuna Mwari, ivo Baba, paachaparadza kutonga kwese neushe hwese nesimba.
25 For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet.
Nokuti anofanira iye kutonga, kusvikira aisa vese vavengi pasi petsoka dzake.
26 The last enemy shall be destroyed, death.
Muvengi wekupedzisira uchaparadzwa ndirwo rufu.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to him.
Nokuti wakaisa zvinhu zvese pasi petsoka dzake. Asi kana achiti zvinhu zvese zvakaiswa pasi pake, zviri pachena kuti ari kunze wakaisa zvinhu zvese pasi pake.
28 But when he shall have put all things under him, then also the Son himself shall be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Zvino kana zvinhu zvese zvaiswa pasi pake, ipapo Mwanakomanawo amene achaiswa pasi paiye wakaisa zvese pasi pake, kuti Mwari ave zvese mune zvese.
29 Else what will they do who are baptised? for the dead, if wholly dead they rise no more. Why are they then baptised for the dead?
Ko, vanobhabhatidzirwa vakafa vachaita sei kana vakafa vasingatongomutswi? Vakagobhabhatidzirwa vakafa nemhaka yei?
30 and why do we also expose ourselves to danger every hour?
Nemhaka yei nesu tiri panjodzi awa rega-rega?
31 I solemnly declare by all the joy over you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Ndinofa zuva nezuva, ndinopika nokuzvikudza pamusoro penyu kwandinako muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, of what advantage would it be to me, if the dead did not rise again? shall we eat and drink; because to-morrow we die?
Kana ndakarwa nenzira yevanhu nezvikara paEfeso, zvinondibatsirei, kana vakafa vasingamutswi? Ngatidye nekunwa, nokuti mangwana tinofa.
33 Be not deceived: evil conversations corrupt good manners.
Musanyengerwa; kushamwaridzana nevakaipa kunoodza tsika dzakanaka.
34 Awake as the righteous, and sin not; for some have an ignorance of God: I speak this to your shame.
Pengenukai nenzira yekururama uye musatadza, nokuti vamwe vane kusaziva Mwari; ndinotaura kuti muve nenyadzi.
35 But will any man say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
Asi umwe achati: Vakafa vanomutswa sei? Uye vanouya nemuviri wakaita sei?
36 Thou fool! what thou sowest is not quickened except it die:
Dununu, icho chaunodzvara iwe hachiitwi chipenyu kunze kwekuti chafa;
37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body which shall be afterwards, but the bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of some of the other seeds:
uye icho chaunodzvara, haudzvari muviri uchavapo, asi tsanga isina chinhu, kana yezviyo kana yezvimwe;
38 but God giveth it a body as he pleaseth, and to each of the seeds its peculiar body.
asi Mwari anoipa muviri paanoda napo, nekumbeu imwe neimwe muviri wayo pachayo.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, and another flesh of cattle, and another of fishes, and another of birds.
Nyama yese haisi nyama imwe; asi imwe inyama yevanhu, imwewo inyama yemhuka, imwewo yehove, imwewo yeshiri.
40 Also there are celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial another.
Kune miviriwo yekudenga, nemiviri yenyika; asi kubwinya kweyekudenga ndekumwe, asi kweyenyika ndekumwe.
41 There is one glory of the sun; and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for star differeth from star in glory.
Kumwe kubwinya ndekwezuva, nekumwe kubwinya ndekwemwedzi, uye kumwe kubwinya ndekwenyeredzi, nokuti nyeredzi inosiyana neimwe nyeredzi pakubwinya.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Kwakadarowo kumuka kwevakafa. Kunodzvarwa mukuora, kunomutswa mukusaora;
43 it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
kunodzvarwa mukuzvidzwa, kunomutswa mukubwinya; kunodzvarwa muutera, kunomutswa musimba.
44 it is sown an animal body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.
Kunodzvarwa kuri muviri wechisikirwo, kunomutswa kuri muviri wemweya. Kune muviri wechisikirwo, uye kune muviri wemweya.
45 And so it is written, There was a first man Adam a living soul; a last Adam a quickening spirit.
Zvakanyorwawo saizvozvo zvichinzi: Munhu wekutanga Adhamu wakaitwa munhu anorarama; Adhamu wekupedzisira mweya unoraramisa.
46 But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual.
Asi zvinotanga hazvisi zvemweya asi zvechisikirwo; tevere zvemweya.
47 The first man was of the earth, earthly; the second man was the Lord from heaven.
Munhu wekutanga wakabva panyika, ndewevhu; munhu wechipiri ndiIshe anobva kudenga.
48 As is the earthly, so are they also that are earthly: and as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.
Sewevhu, vakadarowo avo vevhu; uye sewekudenga, vakadarowo vekudenga.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Uye sezvatakatakura chimiro chewevhu, tichatakurawo chimiro chewekudenga.
50 But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Zvino ndinoreva izvi, hama, kuti nyama neropa hazvingagoni kugara nhaka yeushe hwaMwari; nokuora hakungagari nhaka yekusaora.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not indeed all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Tarirai, ndinokuudzai chakavanzika: Hatingavati tese, asi tichashandurwa tese;
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
nenguva diki-diki, mukuhwaira kweziso, pahwamanda yekupedzisira; nokuti hwamanda icharira, uye vakafa vachamutswa mukusaora, nesu tichashandurwa.
53 For that which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and that which is mortal must put on immortality.
Nokuti ichi chinoora chinofanira kupfeka kusaora, neichi chinofa chipfeke kusafa.
54 So when that which is corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and that which is mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Zvino kana ichi chinoora chapfeka kusaora, neichi chinofa chapfeka kusafa, ipapo kuchaitika shoko rakanyorwa rinoti: Rufu rwakamedzwa mukukunda.
Iwe rufu, rumborera rwako rwuripi? Iwe guva, kukunda kwako kuripi? (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
Rumborera rwerufu chivi, nesimba rechivi murairo.
57 But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Zvino ngaavongwe Mwari anotipa kukunda naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, simbai, musingazungunuswi, nguva dzese muchiwedzerwa pabasa raIshe muchiziva kuti kubata kwenyu hakusi pasina muna Ishe.
