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;
Jaanong mmang ke lo gakolole, bakaulengwe, gore Efangele tota ke eng, gonne ga e a fetoga, e ntse ke one Mafoko a a Molemo a ke a lo reretseng pele. Lo a amogetse mme le gompieno lo santse lo le mo go one, gonne tumelo ya lona e agilwe ka go lekalekana mo godimo ga molaetsa o o hakgamatsang o;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
mme ke Mafoko a a Molemo a, a a lo bolokang fa lo santse lo a dumela ka tlhomamo, fa e se fela fa lo ne lo se ka lwa a dumela lwa ntlha.
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;
Ke lo boleletse fela go tswa kwa tshimologong se ke se boleletsweng gore Keresete o swetse dibe tsa rona fela jaaka Dikwalo di boletse.
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Le gore o ne a fitlhwa le gore morago ga malatsi a le mararo o ne a tsoga mo phupung fela jaaka baporofiti ba boletse pele.
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
O bonywe ke Petere mme morago a bonwa ke botlhe “ba ba lesome le bobedi”.
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.
Morago ga moo o bonywe ke bakaulengwe mo Moreneng ba feta makgolo a matlhano ka nako e le nngwe fela, ba bontsi jwa bone bo santseng bo tshela, le fa ba bangwe ba setse ba sule.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
Mme Jakobe a mmona mme morago a bonwa ke baaposetoloi botlhe.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
Morago ga bone botlhe le nna ka mmona, lobaka lo lo leele morago ga ba bangwe, jaaka e ka re ke tsetswe moragorago mabapi le se.
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.
Gonne ke mmotlana mo baaposetoloing botlhe, ebile ke ne ke sa tshwanela go bidiwa moaposetoloi gotlhelele ka ntlha ya ka fa ke neng ke bogisa phuthego ya Modimo ka teng.
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.
Mme se ke leng sone gompieno, ke ka ntlha ya gore Modimo o tshetse bopelonomi jo bogolo le tshegofatso mo go nna, e seng kwa ntle ga maduo: gonne ke dirile thata go gaisa baaposetoloi ba bangwe botlhe, le fa go ntse jalo e ne e sa dirwe ke nna, mme Modimo o dira mo go nna, go ntshegofatsa.
11 Therefore whether [it were] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Ga go na pharologanyo epe mo go yo o dirileng thata, nna kgotsa bone; selo sa botlhokwa ke gore re lo reretse Efangele, le gore lo e dumetse.
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?
Mme mpolelelang se! Ka lo dumela se re se rerang, gore Keresete o ne a tsoga mo baswing, ke eng fa bangwe ba lona ba re baswi ga ba kitla ba rula?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
Gonne fa go se na tsogo ya baswi, jalo Keresete o tshwanetse a bo a santse a sule.
14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
Mme fa a santse a sule, go raya gore thero yotlhe ya rona ga e na molemo le go tshepa Modimo ga lona ga go reye sepe, ga go na thuso, ga go na tsholofelo;
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.
mme le rona baaposetoloi re maaka rotlhe ka gore re rile Modimo o tsositse Keresete mo phupung, mme moo ga se boammaaruri fa baswi ba sa rule.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
Fa ba sa rule, jalo go raya gore Keresete o santse a sule,
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
ebile lo dieleele thata go tswelela lo tshepa Modimo go lo boloka, mme lo santse lo le ka fa tlase ga katlholo ya maleo a lona;
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
ka tsela eo, Bakeresete botlhe ba ba suleng ba latlhegile!
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Mme fa go nna Mokeresete go re solegela molemo gompieno mo botshelong jo, re dibopiwa tse di tlhomolang pelo.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.
Mme boammaaruri ke gore Keresete o tsogile mo baswing mme a nna wa ntlha wa batho ba ba didikadike ba ba tlaa rulang letsatsi lengwe.
21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
Loso lo tsile mo lefatsheng ka ntlha ya se motho a le esi (Adamo) o se dirileng, ebile ke ka ntlha ya se motho yo mongwe yo (Keresete) o se dirileng gore jaanong go nne le tsogo ya baswi.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Mongwe le mongwe o a swa ka ntlha ya gore rotlhe re ba losika lwa ga Adamo, re le maloko a lotso lwa gagwe a sebe, mme gongwe le gongwe kwa go nnang le sebe, loso lo a diragala. Mme botlhe ba losika lwa ga Keresete ba tlaa tsoga gape.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
Mme le fa go ntse jalo mongwe le mongwe o tlaa tsoga ka fa thulaganong: Keresete o tsogile pele; mme fa Keresete a bowa, batho botlhe ba gagwe ba tlaa rula.
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.
Morago ga moo bokhutlo bo tlaa tla fa o tlaa busetsang bogosi kwa go Modimo Rara, a beile fa fatshe baba botlhe ba mefuta mengwe le mengwe.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
Gonne Keresete o tlaa nna Kgosi go fitlhelela a fenya baba botlhe ba gagwe,
26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.
mmogo le mmaba wa bofelo ebong, loso. Le lone lo tshwanetse go fenngwa lwa ba lwa khutlisiwa.
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.
Gonne Keresete o neetswe puso le taolo mo dilong tsotlhe ke Rraagwe; fa e se fela gore, Keresete ga a buse Rara ka bo ene, yo o mo neileng nonofo ya go busa.
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.
Fa Keresete a sena go fenya baba ba gagwe mo ntweng, mme ene Morwa Modimo, o tlaa ipaya ka fa tlase ga ditaolo tsa ga Rraagwe, gore Modimo o o mo neileng phenyo mo go sengwe le sengwe o nne mogolo mo go tsotlhe.
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?
Fa baswi ba sa rule, jaanong go thusang gore batho ba kolobelediwe ba ba suleng? Ke eng fa lo go dira fa ele gore ga lo dumele gore letsatsi lengwe baswi ba tlaa tsoga.
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
Mme ke eng fa rona re aga re tsenya matshelo a rona mo diphatseng re lebagana le loso nako le nako?
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Gonne ke boammaaruri gore ke lebagane le loso letsatsi le letsatsi; moo go boammaaruri fela jaaka boipelafatso jwa me mo go goleng ga lona mo Moreneng.
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.
Mme go ne go na le thuso ya eng mo go lona go lwantsha dibatana tsa naga, ebong batho bale ba Efeso, fa e ne e le ka ntlha ya se ke se amogelang mo botshelong jono? Fa e le gore ga re kitla re tshela gape re sena go swa, le rona go ka nna botoka gore re tsamaye re ye go iitumedisa; a re jeng, re nweng, mme re itumeleng. Pharologanyo ke eng? Gonne ka moso re a swa, mme seo se lere sengwe le sengwe kwa bokhutlong.
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Lo se ka lwa tsiediwa ke ba ba buang dilo tseo. Fa lo ba reetsa lo tlaa simolola go dira jaaka bone.
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame.
Itharabologelweng, lo tlogele go leofa. Gonne go tlhabisa ditlhong go re, bangwe ba lona ga se Bakeresete gotlhelele ebile ga ba ise ba ke ba itse Modimo.
35 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
Mme mongwe o ka botsa a re, “Baswi ba tlaa rudisiwa jang? Ba tlaa nna le mebele e e ntseng jang?”
36 [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
Ke potso ya boeleele jang! Fa o tsenya peo mo mmung ga e gole e nna setlhatshana fa e se gore e “swe” pele.
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]:
Mme fa mogwang o motala o tswa mo teng ga peo, o pharologanyo thata le peo eo e o e jetseng lwa ntlha. Gonne se o se tsentseng mo mmung ke peo e nnye ya mabele e e omeletseng, kgotsa le fa e ka nna eng se o se jalang,
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
fela jalo Modimo o e neye mmele o montle o mosha, mofuta fela o o batlang e nna le one; ditlhatshana tse di farologaneng di tswa mo mofuteng mongwe le mongwe wa peo.
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.
Mme fela jaaka go na le mefuta e e farologanyeng ya dipeo le ditlhatshana, fela jalo go na le mefuta e e farologanyeng ya nama. Batho, diphologolo, ditlhapi le dinonyane tsotlhe di a farologana.
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.
Baengele ba ba mo legodimong ba na le mebele e e farologanyeng thata le ya rona, le bontle le kgalalelo ya mebele ya bone e farologanye le bontle le kgalalelo ya rona.
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.
Letsatsi le na le kgalalelo e le nngwe fa ngwedi le dinaledi di na le mofuta o mongwe. Mme dinaledi le tsone di farologanye le tse dingwe ka bontle jwa tsone le phatsimo.
42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Fela jalo, mebele ya rona ya selefatshe e e swang, e bo e bola, e farologanye le mebele e re tlaa nnang le yone fa re rula, gonne ga e kitla ee swa.
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
Mebele e re nang nayo gompieno e a re bogisa gonne e a lwala ebile e a swa; mme e tlaa tlala kgalalelo fa re rula. Ee, e bokoa, mebele e e swang gompieno, mme fa re sena go rula e tlaa bo e tletse nonofo.
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
Ke mebele ya setho fela mo losong, mme fa e rula e tlaa bo e le mebele e e nonofileng thata. Gonne fela jaaka go na le mebele ya tlholego, go na le mebele e e nonofileng ya semowa.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.
Dikwalo di bolela gore motho wa ntlha Adamo, o ne a neilwe mmele wa tlholego, mme Keresete o feta moo, gonne o ne a le Mowa o o nayang botshelo.
46 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
Lwa ntlha, re na le mebele e ya setho mme moragonyana Modimo o tlaa re naya mebele ya semoya ya selegodimo.
47 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.
Adamo o ne a dirilwe ka lorole lwa lefatshe, mme Keresete o dule kwa legodimong.
48 As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
Motho mongwe le mongwe o na le mmele o o tshwanang fela le wa ga Adamo, o dirilwe ka lorole, mme botlhe ba ba nnang ba ga Keresete ba tlaa nna le mmele o o tshwanang le wa gagwe mmele o o tswang kwa legodimong.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Fela jaaka mongwe le mongwe wa rona a na le mmele o o tshwanang le wa ga Adamo, jalo e tlaa re letsatsi lengwe re bo re na le mmele o tshwanang le wa ga Keresete.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Ke lo bolelela se, bakaulengwe: mmele wa selefatshe o o dirilweng ka nama le madi ga o kake wa tsena mo Bogosing jwa Modimo. Mebele e ya rona e e swang ga e a siamela go ka tshelela ruri.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Mme ke lo bolelela sephiri se se sa tlwaelesegang se, se se hakgamatsang: ga re kitla re e swa rotlhe, mme re tlaa newa mebele e mesha rotlhe!
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.
Go tlaa diragala gotlhe ka nakonyana ka ponyo ya leitlho, fa torompeta ya bofelo e lela. Gonne go tlaa nna le go galaotega ga torompeta mo loaping mme Bakeresete botlhe ba ba suleng ba tlaa rula, ka mebele e mesha e e se kitlang e tlhola ee swa; mme rona ba re sa ntseng re tshela re tlaa akofa re nna le mebele e mesha.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.
Gonne mebele ya rona ya selefatshe, e re nang nayo gompieno e e swang, e tlaa tshwanelwa ke go fetolelwa mo mebeleng ya selegodimo e e se ka keng ya a swa mme e tlaa tshela ka bosakhutleng.
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.
Fa se se direga, mme kwa bofelong lokwalo lo lo tlaa diragadiwa, lo lo reng, “Loso lo meditswe ke phenyo.”
Loso ana phenyo ya gago e kae? Go loma ga gago go kae? Gonne sebe, lobolela lo lo dirang loso, lo tlaa bo lo nyeletse; mme molao o o senolang dibe tsa rona o tlaa bo o sa tlhole o le moatlhodi wa rona. (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.
57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Re leboga Modimo jang ka mo! Ke one o o re dirileng gore re fenye ka Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona.
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.
Jalo bakaulengwe ba me, e re ka phenyo e e tlang e tlhomamisega, nonofang lo nitame, lo tshwaragane mo tirong ya Morena ka nako tsotlhe, gonne lo itse gore ga go sepe se lo se direlang Morena se se senyegang jaaka go ne go ka nna fa go ne go sena tsogo ya baswi.
