1 Corinthians 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, nĩngwenda kũmũririkania Ũhoro-ũrĩa-mwega ũrĩa ndaamũhunjĩirie, na mũkĩwamũkĩra, na noguo mũtũũrĩte mũrũmĩtie.
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
Ũhoro ũcio mwega nĩguo ũtũmaga mũhonoke, mwaikara mũrũmĩtie wega ũhoro ũrĩa ndaamũhunjĩirie. Angĩkorwo ti ũguo-rĩ, ũhoro ũcio mwawĩtĩkirie o tũhũ.
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;
Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro ũrĩa niĩ ndaamũkĩrire nĩguo ndaamũheire, ũrĩ wa mbere na wa bata mũno: atĩ Kristũ nĩakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mehia maitũ o ta ũrĩa Maandĩko moigĩte,
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
na atĩ nĩathikirwo, na atĩ mũthenya wa gatatũ akĩriũkio kũringana na ũrĩa Maandĩko macio moigĩte,
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
na atĩ akiumĩrĩra Petero, na agĩcooka akiumĩrĩra arĩa Ikũmi na Eerĩ.
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.
Thuutha ũcio, nĩoimĩrĩire makĩria ma ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ magana matano ihinda o rĩmwe, na aingĩ ao marĩ muoyo o na rĩu, o na gũtuĩka amwe ao nĩmarĩkĩtie gũkua.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
Ningĩ agĩcooka akiumĩrĩra Jakubu na thuutha wa ũguo agĩcooka akiumĩrĩra atũmwo othe,
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
na thuutha wa acio angĩ othe akĩnyumĩrĩra o na niĩ, haana ta mũndũ waciarĩtwo atarĩ mũkinyu.
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.
Nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩ niĩ mũnini mũno harĩ atũmwo arĩa angĩ, o na ndiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtwo mũtũmwo, tondũ nĩndanyariirire kanitha wa Ngai.
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.
No wega wa Ngai nĩguo ũtũmĩte nduĩke ũguo ndariĩ, naguo wega wake kũrĩ niĩ ndwarĩ wa tũhũ. No nĩndarutire wĩra na kĩyo gũkĩra acio angĩ othe, no ti niĩ ndaarutaga wĩra ũcio, no nĩ wega wa Ngai ũrĩa warĩ hamwe na niĩ warutaga wĩra ũcio.
11 Therefore whether [it were] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Tondũ ũcio, o na kũngĩtuĩka nĩ niĩ kana nĩ o-rĩ, ũhoro ũyũ noguo tũhunjagia, na noguo inyuĩ mwetĩkirie.
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?
Na rĩrĩ, kũngĩkorwo kũhunjagio atĩ Kristũ nĩariũkirio akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga amwe anyu moige atĩ gũtirĩ kũriũkio kwa arĩa akuũ?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
Kũngĩkorwo gũtirĩ kũriũkio kwa arĩa akuũ-rĩ, o nake Kristũ ndaakĩriũkirio.
14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
Na angĩkorwo Kristũ ndaakĩriũkirio-rĩ, kũhunjia gwitũ no gwa tũhũ, nakuo gwĩtĩkia kwanyu no gwa tũhũ.
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.
Makĩria ma ũguo-rĩ, ithuĩ no tũgĩkorwo tũrĩ aira a Ngai a maheeni, tondũ nĩtuumbũrĩte atĩ Ngai nĩariũkirie Kristũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ. No rĩrĩ, ndaakĩmũriũkirie angĩkorwo nĩ ma atĩ arĩa akuũ matiriũkagio.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
Nĩgũkorwo kũngĩtuĩka atĩ arĩa akuũ matiriũkagio, o nake Kristũ ndaakĩriũkirio.
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Na angĩkorwo Kristũ ndaariũkirio-rĩ, gwĩtĩkia kwanyu nĩ gwa tũhũ; mũgĩtũũraga o mehia-inĩ manyu.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
Ningĩ andũ arĩa marĩkĩtie gũkoma marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ-rĩ, o nao nĩ kũũra morĩte.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Na kũngĩkorwo kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro giitũ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ no kĩa muoyo-inĩ ũyũ tũrĩ-rĩ, twagĩrĩirwo nĩkũiguĩrwo tha gũkĩra andũ othe.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.
No rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ Kristũ nĩariũkĩtio akoima kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, agatuĩka maciaro ma mbere ma arĩa makuĩte.
21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
Tondũ-rĩ, o ũrĩa arĩ mũndũ watũmire gĩkuũ gĩũke thĩ, o nakuo kũriũkio kwa arĩa akuũ nĩ mũndũ watũmire gũũke.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa andũ othe makuaga nĩ ũndũ wa Adamu-rĩ, no taguo andũ othe magaacookio muoyo thĩinĩ wa Kristũ.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
No o mũndũ akaariũka ihinda rĩake mwene: Kristũ arĩ we wariũkire mbere; na thuutha andũ arĩa marĩ ake hĩndĩ ĩrĩa agooka.
24 Then [cometh] 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.
Thuutha ũcio nĩguo ihinda rĩa kũrigĩrĩria rĩgaakinya, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa akaaneana ũthamaki kũrĩ Ngai Ithe arĩkĩtie kũniina mothamaki mothe, na wathani, o na hinya wothe.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
Nĩgũkorwo no nginya athamake nginya rĩrĩa agaakorwo aigĩte thũ ciake ciothe rungu rwa makinya make.
26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.
Na rĩrĩ, thũ ya mũthia kũniinwo nĩ gĩkuũ.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
Nĩgũkorwo “nĩ aigĩte indo ciothe rungu rwa makinya make.” Na rĩrĩa gũkwĩrwo atĩ “indo ciothe” nĩciigĩtwo rungu rwake, nĩgũkũmenyeka wega atĩ Ngai we mwene ti wa itari rĩu tondũ nĩ we waigire indo ciothe rungu rwa Kristũ.
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.
Aarĩkia gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, Mũriũ we mwene nĩagatuĩka wa gwathagwo nĩ ũcio waigire indo ciothe rungu rwake, nĩguo Ngai akorwo nĩ we maũndũ mothe thĩinĩ wa maũndũ mothe.
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?
Na rĩrĩ, kũngĩkorwo gũtirĩ ũriũkio-rĩ, arĩa mabatithĩtio handũ-inĩ ha arĩa akuũ mageeka atĩa? Angĩkorwo arĩa akuũ matikaariũkio o na atĩa-rĩ, andũ makĩbatithagio handũ-inĩ hao nĩkĩ?
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
Na ithuĩ-rĩ, twĩtoonyagia ũgwati-inĩ o ithaa o ithaa nĩkĩ?
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Ngũmwĩra na ma, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ti-itherũ, o ta ũrĩa ndĩĩrahaga nĩ ũndũ wanyu thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ Mwathani witũ, atĩ niĩ nguaga o mũthenya.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
Angĩkorwo ndaahũũranire na nyamũ cia gĩthaka kũu Efeso nĩ ũndũ wa itũmi cia ũ-mũndũ-rĩ, ndaagunĩkire na kĩ? Angĩkorwo andũ arĩa akuũ matikaariũkio-rĩ, “Nĩtũrĩe na tũnyue, nĩgũkorwo rũciũ nĩgũkua tũgaakua.”
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Mũtikaheeneke: “Thiritũ njũru nĩĩthũkagia mĩtugo mĩega.”
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame.
Arahũkai mwĩigue ta ũrĩa mwagĩrĩirwo, na mũtigage kwĩhia; nĩgũkorwo andũ amwe matiũĩ Ngai: ndoiga ũguo nĩgeetha ndĩmũconore.
35 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
No mũndũ ahota kũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa akuũ mariũkagio atĩa? Magooka marĩ na mwĩrĩ ũhaana atĩa?”
36 [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
Nĩ ũrimũ ũrĩkũ ũyũ! Kĩrĩa wahaanda-rĩ, gĩtimeraga gĩtambĩte gũkua.
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]:
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa wahaanda-rĩ, ndũhaandaga mwĩrĩ ũrĩa ũgũcooka ũkorwo ho, no gũkorwo ũhaandaga mbeũ ya ngano kana ya kĩndũ kĩngĩ.
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
No Ngai amĩheaga mwĩrĩ o ũrĩa endaga ĩgĩe naguo, na o mũthemba wa mbegũ akaũhe mwĩrĩ waguo.
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.
Mĩĩrĩ yothe ndĩhaanaine: Andũ marĩ mũthemba ũmwe wa mwĩrĩ, nacio nyamũ mũthemba ũngĩ, na nyoni mũthemba ũngĩ, o nacio thamaki irĩ mwĩrĩ wa mũthemba ũngĩ.
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.
Ningĩ nĩ kũrĩ mĩĩrĩ ya igũrũ na nĩ kũrĩ mĩĩrĩ ya gũkũ thĩ; no riiri wa mĩĩrĩ ya igũrũ nĩ mũthemba ũmwe, na riiri wa mĩĩrĩ ya gũkũ thĩ nĩ mũthemba ũngĩ.
41 [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.
Riũa rĩrĩ na riiri warĩo mwanya, na mweri ũrĩ riiri waguo mwanya, na njata irĩ na riiri wacio mwanya; na njata ĩmwe ĩrĩ riiri ũrĩ ngũũrani na njata ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.
42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Ũguo nĩguo gũgaatuĩka hĩndĩ ya kũriũkio kwa andũ arĩa akuũ. Mwĩrĩ ũrĩa ũhaandagwo nĩ wa kũbutha, no ũriũkagio ũtarĩ wa kũbutha;
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
mwĩrĩ ũhaandagwo ũrĩ mũmene, ũgacooka ũkariũkio ũrĩ na riiri; ũhaandagwo ũtarĩ na hinya, ũgacooka ũkariũkio ũrĩ na hinya;
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
ũhaandagwo ũrĩ mwĩrĩ wa ndũire, ũgacooka ũkariũkio ũrĩ mwĩrĩ wa kĩĩroho. Angĩkorwo nĩ kũrĩ mwĩrĩ wa ndũire-rĩ, o na mwĩrĩ wa kĩĩroho ũrĩ kuo.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Adamu ũrĩa warĩ mũndũ wa mbere-rĩ, aatuĩkire kĩũmbe kĩrĩ muoyo”; nake Adamu ũrĩa wa kũrigĩrĩria-rĩ, agĩtuĩka roho wa kũheana muoyo.
46 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
Mwĩrĩ wa kĩĩroho tiguo waambire gũũka, no nĩ ũrĩa wa ndũire, na thuutha wa ũguo ũgĩũka ũrĩa wa kĩĩroho.
47 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.
Mũndũ wa mbere aarĩ wa rũkũngũ rwa thĩ, no mũndũ wa keerĩ oimĩte igũrũ.
48 As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
O ta ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa gũkũ thĩ aatariĩ, noguo arĩa marĩ a tĩĩri matariĩ; na ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa kuuma igũrũ aatariĩ, noguo o na arĩa a igũrũ matariĩ.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Na ta ũrĩa twagĩire na mũhianĩre wa mũndũ ũcio wa tĩĩri-rĩ, noguo tũkaagĩa na mũhianĩre wa mũndũ ũcio wa kuuma igũrũ.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mwĩrĩ na thakame itingĩhota kũgaya ũthamaki wa Ngai, kana kĩrĩa kĩbuthaga kĩgae kĩrĩa gĩtabuthaga.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Thikĩrĩriai, ndĩmwĩre ũndũ wa hitho: Tũtigaakua ithuothe, no nĩkũgarũrwo tũkaagarũrwo ithuothe,
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.
o kahinda kanini, o ta ibucia rĩa riitho, rĩrĩa karumbeta ka mũthia gakaagamba. Nĩgũkorwo karumbeta nĩgakaahuhwo, nao arĩa akuũ mariũkio matarĩ a kũbutha, na ithuĩ tũgarũrwo mĩĩrĩ.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.
Nĩgũkorwo mwĩrĩ ũyũ ũbuthaga no nginya wĩhumbe mwĩrĩ ũtarĩ wa kũbutha, naguo mwĩrĩ ũyũ wa gũkua wĩhumbe mwĩrĩ ũtarĩ wa gũkua.
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 that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa kũbutha gũkeehumba kwaga kũbutha, na gũkua kwĩhumbe kwaga gũkua-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo ũhoro nĩũkahinga ũrĩa wandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Gĩkuũ nĩkĩniinĩtwo gĩgatoorio biũ.”
“Wee gĩkuũ-rĩ, gũtoorania gwaku gũkĩrĩ ha? Wee gĩkuũ-rĩ, rũboora rwaku rũkĩrĩ ha?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.
Rũboora rwa gĩkuũ nĩ mehia, naguo hinya wa mehia uumanaga na watho.
57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
No rĩrĩ, Ngai arogaathwo nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũtũheaga ũtooria thĩinĩ wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ arĩa nyenda, ikaragai mwĩhaandĩte wega. Mũtikanenyenyio nĩ ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. Tũũrai mwĩheanĩte kũna wĩra-inĩ wa Mwathani, tondũ nĩmũũĩ atĩ wĩra wanyu thĩinĩ wa Mwathani ti wa tũhũ.
