1 Corinthians 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also all of you have received, and wherein all of you stand;
Hinu, valongo, nigana kuvakumbusa lila Lilovi la Bwina lenivakokosili, na nyenye mukayipokili na kuyima cha kukangamala mugati yaki.
2 By which also all of you are saved, if all of you keep in memory what (logos) I preached unto you, unless all of you have believed in vain.
Kwa njila yaki msanguliwi, ngati mukamula malovi genivakokosili. Manya ngati mwasadiki waka.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
Nene navapelili mambu ga mana neju genapokili namwene: Kuvya Kilisitu afwili ndava ya kubuda kwitu ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi,
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
avikiwi mulitinda, akayuka ligono la datu ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi,
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
amuhumalili Petili, na kangi avahumalili vamitumi kumi na vavili vala.
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
Kangi avahumalili valongo neju ya miya mhanu kwa pamonga wa valanda, vamahele vakona wumi, nambu vangi vafwili.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
Lukumbi lungi amuhumalili Yakobo na mewa avahumalili vamitumi voha.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
Pamwishu anihumalili nene, nene mwenavi ngati mundu mwavelekiwi lepi kwa lukumbi lwaki.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Muni nene mdebe neju pagati ya mitumi, na niganikiwa lepi kukemelewa mtumi, muni naying'aisi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vavi vandu va Chapanga.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon 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.
Nambu kwa ubwina wa Chapanga, nivii ngati chanivii, kwa ubwina wa Chapanga kwangu wavi lepi waka. Lepi kuvya nihengili lihengu kwa kukangamala kuliku voha, lepi nene nambu ubwina wa Chapanga weuhenga lihengu na nene.
11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so all of you believed.
Nambu hati naha, yivyai vene ndi vevikokosa amala nene ndi mwenikokosa na chenichi ndi chetikokosa na nyenye ndi chemwisadika.
12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Yikavya tikokosa kuvya Kilisitu ayukiswi kuhuma mulifwa, ndava kyani pagati yinu mwijova kuvya kawaka uyukiswa wa vevafwili?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
Ngati kawaka uyukiswa wa vevafwili, hinu na mwene Kilisitu ayukili lepi,
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
na ngati Kilisitu ayukili lepi, makokoselu gitu gangamanyikana na sadika yinu yangali chindu.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
Neju pa genago tete ngativii tijova udese palongolo ya Chapanga, muni tajovili kuvya Chapanga amuyukisi Kilisitu kuhuma mulifwa, nambu amuyukisi lepi, ngati ndi chakaka vevafwili viyukiswa lepi, ndi Kilisitu yukiswa.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
Muni ngati chakaka vevafwili nakuyukiswa, ndi na Kilisitu ayukili lepi.
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; all of you are yet in your sins.
Ngati Kilisitu ayukili lepi, ndi sadika yinu ya waka, mwakona muyendelela kumbudila Chapanga.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
Neju ya genago, vala voha vevafwili kuni vakumsadika Kilisitu vayagili.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Ngati huvalila yitu mu Kilisitu na yivala wumi uwu wa hinu, hinu tete vandu kuhengewa lipyana kuliku vandu voha pamulima.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept.
Nambu uchakaka ndi uwu, kuvya Kilisitu ayukili kuhuma mulifwa ndi kulangisa kuvya voha vevafwili yati viyukiswa.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
Muni, lifwa labwelili na mundu mmonga, na mewa na uyukiswa kuhuma vafwili ubwelili na mundu mmonga.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Ngati vandu kuwungana na Adamu vandu voha vifwa, mewawa voha yati viyukiswa kwa kuwungana na Kilisitu.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Nambu kila mundu na Lukumbi lwaki, Kilisitu mtumbula wa uyukiso, kangi vevavi vaki ndi pala peibwela.
24 Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Pa genago, mwishu yati uhika lukumbi Kilisitu yati akumgotolela Dadi Chapanga Unkosi, peiwusa kutali kila mpungu wa ulongosi na mpungu wa uhotola na makakala.
25 For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
Muni Kilisitu iganikiwa alongosayi mbaka Chapanga pakuvagwisa makoko vaki na kuvavika pahi ya magendelu gaku.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Likoko la mwishu kuyongomeswa ndi lifwa.
27 For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
Muni, Mayandiku gijova, “Chapanga avikili vindu vyoha pahi ya magendelu gaki.” Nambu Mayandiku Gamsopi pegijova, “Vindu vyoha vivikiwi pahi ya magendelu gaki avitalalilayi.” Ndi Chakaka Chapanga nakuyingila mulilundu lenilo la vindu, muni mwene ndi akuvivika pahi ya Kilisitu.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Nambu vindu vyoha pevivikwa pahi ya ulongosi wa Kilisitu, na Mwana mwene yati akujivika pahi ya Chapanga, mwavikili goha pahi ya ulongosi waki, ndi Chapanga alongosa panani ya goha.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
Ngati kawaka kuyukiswa, wu, vandu vala vevibatiziwa ndava ya vevafwili vahuvalila kupewa kyani? Ngati vevafwili viyukiswa lepi, ndava kyani kubatiziwa ndava ya vene?
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
Na kwa upandi ndava kyani tikujiyoka kila lukumbi?
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.
Valongo, nene nikulilola lifwa lukumbi lwoha! Ulumba wenivii nawu ndi kuwungana Kilisitu Yesu BAMBU witu mwakunikita nikokosa lijambu ili.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantages it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; in order to morrow we die.
Ngati lilengu langu ngalivyai la chimundu, kula kukomana kwangu na vandu vevavili ngati hinyama hikali apa pa Efeso ngakuvili chindu choki? Ngati vevafwili nakuyuka ndi, “Tilya na kunywa, muni chilau yati tifwa.”
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Mkoto kukongeka. “Vankozi vahakau vihalabisa uyovelu wa mundu.”
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
Muyimuka! Mutumbula kutama bwina, na muleka kumbudila Chapanga. Vangi pagati yinu vammanyili lepi Chapanga. Nikuvajovela soni yivaha kwinu!
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
Pangi mundu yati ikota, “Vevafwili yati viyukiswa wuli? Yati vivya na higa yoki?”
36 You fool, that which you sow is not quickened, except it die:
Genago ndi makotelu ga uhomela! Ukamija mbeyu, changali kufwa hoti yivya nakumela.
37 And that which you sow, you sow not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
Chaumija ndi mbeyu yene, pangi nganu amala mabenu gangi, nambu lepi lumelelu lwoha ubwela kumela mwanakandahi.
38 But God gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
Chapanga akuyipela higa yeayiganili mwene mbeyu yeniyo, kila mbeyu yipewa higa yaki ya mwene.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
Higa ya viwumbi vyoha ziwanangana lepi. Vandu vana higa yavi na hinyama hina higa yavi na videge vina higa yavi na somba zina higa zavi.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
Yivili higa ya kunani kwa Chapanga na ya pamulima, ubwina wa higa ya kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wungi, na ubwina wa higa ya pamulima ndi wungi.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in glory.
Lilanga lina ubwina waki, na mwehi na ndondo, hati ndondo yina ubwina waki hilekengana kwa ubwina.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Ndi chayivili kuvavala kuyukiswa kwa vevafwili. Ndi ngati mbeyu, higa yizikwa pahi uvya chakuwola, nambu uyukiswa changali kuwola.
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
Higa yizikwa cha soni, uyukiswa cha ukulu, kuzikwa namuna ya kulenda, uyukiswa uyva kwa makakala.
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
Tizikwa kwa muhiga yativelekewa nayu, pauyukiswa ndi higa ya chimpungu. Yivili higa ya magono goha na higa chimpungu.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a life-giving spirit. (pneuma)
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Mundu wa kutumbula, Adamu avili mundu mwana wumi,” Nambu Adamu wa mwishu ndi Mpungu mwakuvapela vandu wumi.
46 Nevertheless that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
Nambu nakulongolela higa ya chimpungu, nambu ndi wula wa wetivelekiwi nawu, ndi kangi wula wa chimpungu.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
Adamu wa kutumbula kuwumbwa kuhuma muludaka lwa pamulima, ahumili pahi paludaka, Adamu pili ahumili kunani kwa Chapanga.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Vandu voha vevavili va pamulima vavili ngati mundu mwawumbiwi kuhuma muludaka, nambu vandu vala vevavili va kunani kwa Chapanga vavili ngati yula mwahumili kwa Chapanga.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Ngati chetiwanangini na yula mwawumbiwi kwa ludaka, mewawa yati tiwanangana na mwenuyo mwahumili kunani kwa Chapanga.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
Hinu, valongo, nijova naha, chila chechakitiwi kwa higa na ngasi nakuhotola kuyingila mu Unkosi wa Chapanga, na higa yeyiwola nakuhotola kuyingila pandu pa higa yangawola.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Muyuwanila, nikuvajovela gamfiyu aga, tete yati tifwa lepi, nambu tete tavoha yati ting'anambuswa,
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.
Mambu aga yati gihumila lukumbi lwa lipenenga la mwishu pelipyuliwa. Chigafula kukupila na kulola. Muni lipenenga peyipyula, vevafwili yati viyukiswa vakotoka kufwa kavili na tete yati ting'anamuswa.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Muni higa iyi yakahalibika ndi yiganikiwa ying'anamuka changahalibika, higa yayihotola kufwa yikoto kufwa.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying (logos) that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Hinu, higa iyi yeyifwa ying'anamuka nakuvya payivya nakuwola, na chechifwa pachivya nakufwa, penapo ndi palitimilika lilovi lelayandikwi, “Lifwa likomiwi, uhotoleka ukatimiliki!”
“Lifwa, kuhotola kwaku kuvili koki? Lifwa makakala gaku ga kuleta mvinisu uvi koki?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
Lifwa lipewa makakala ga kuvinisa kuhuma mukumbudila chapanga, mewawa kubuda kupata makakala mu malagizu.
57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nambu timsengusa Chapanga mwakutipela uhotola kwa njila ya BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be all of you steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as all of you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Hinu, valongo vangu vaganu, muyima chakukangamala na changanyugusika. Magono goha muyendelela kujiwusa mulihengu la BAMBU, ndava mmanya kuvya lihengu lemwihenga kwa BAMBU liyaga lepi waka.
