1 Corinthians 15
1 And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you also received, in which you also have stood,
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, nĩngwenda kũmũririkania Ũhoro-ũrĩa-mwega ũrĩa ndaamũhunjĩirie, na mũkĩwamũkĩra, na noguo mũtũũrĩte mũrũmĩtie.
2 through which you are also being saved, if you hold fast [to] the word—what I proclaimed as good news to you—unless you 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 to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Writings,
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 has risen on the third day according to the Writings,
na atĩ nĩathikirwo, na atĩ mũthenya wa gatatũ akĩriũkio kũringana na ũrĩa Maandĩko macio moigĩte,
5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve,
na atĩ akiumĩrĩra Petero, na agĩcooka akiumĩrĩra arĩa Ikũmi na Eerĩ.
6 afterward He appeared to above five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, and some also fell 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 afterward He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Ningĩ agĩcooka akiumĩrĩra Jakubu na thuutha wa ũguo agĩcooka akiumĩrĩra atũmwo othe,
8 And last of all—as to the untimely birth—He also appeared to me,
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, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Assembly of God,
Nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩ niĩ mũnini mũno harĩ atũmwo arĩa angĩ, o na ndiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtwo mũtũmwo, tondũ nĩndanyariirire kanitha wa Ngai.
10 and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] toward me did not come in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] 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 whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
Tondũ ũcio, o na kũngĩtuĩka nĩ niĩ kana nĩ o-rĩ, ũhoro ũyũ noguo tũhunjagia, na noguo inyuĩ mwetĩkirie.
12 And if Christ is preached, that He has risen out of the dead, how [do] certain among you say 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 And if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither has Christ risen;
Kũngĩkorwo gũtirĩ kũriũkio kwa arĩa akuũ-rĩ, o nake Kristũ ndaakĩriũkirio.
14 and if Christ has not risen, then our preaching [is] void, and your faith [is] also void,
Na angĩkorwo Kristũ ndaakĩriũkirio-rĩ, kũhunjia gwitũ no gwa tũhũ, nakuo gwĩtĩkia kwanyu no gwa tũhũ.
15 and we are also found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
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 dead persons do not rise, neither has Christ risen,
Nĩgũkorwo kũngĩtuĩka atĩ arĩa akuũ matiriũkagio, o nake Kristũ ndaakĩriũkirio.
17 and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins;
Na angĩkorwo Kristũ ndaariũkirio-rĩ, gwĩtĩkia kwanyu nĩ gwa tũhũ; mũgĩtũũraga o mehia-inĩ manyu.
18 then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ perished;
Ningĩ andũ arĩa marĩkĩtie gũkoma marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ-rĩ, o nao nĩ kũũra morĩte.
19 if we only have hope in Christ in this life, we are to be most pitied of all men.
Na kũngĩkorwo kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro giitũ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ no kĩa muoyo-inĩ ũyũ tũrĩ-rĩ, twagĩrĩirwo nĩkũiguĩrwo tha gũkĩra andũ othe.
20 And now, Christ has risen out of the dead—He became the first-fruits of those sleeping,
No rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ Kristũ nĩariũkĩtio akoima kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, agatuĩka maciaro ma mbere ma arĩa makuĩte.
21 for since through man [is] death, also through Man [is] a 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 even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all will 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 and each in his proper order: Christ, a first-fruit, afterward those who are the Christ’s in 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—the end, when He may deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He may have made all rule useless, 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 it is necessary for Him to reign until He may have put all the enemies under His feet.
Nĩgũkorwo no nginya athamake nginya rĩrĩa agaakorwo aigĩte thũ ciake ciothe rungu rwa makinya make.
26 The last enemy is done away with—death.
Na rĩrĩ, thũ ya mũthia kũniinwo nĩ gĩkuũ.
27 For He put all things under His feet, and when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who subjected all things to 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 may be subjected to Him, then also the Son Himself will be subject to Him, who subjected to Him all things, that God may be the 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 Seeing what will they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they also immersed 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 Why do we also stand in peril every hour?
Na ithuĩ-rĩ, twĩtoonyagia ũgwati-inĩ o ithaa o ithaa nĩkĩ?
31 I die every day, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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 I fought with wild beasts in Ephesus after the manner of a man, what [is] the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow 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 Do not be led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
Mũtikaheeneke: “Thiritũ njũru nĩĩthũkagia mĩtugo mĩega.”
34 wake up, as is right, and do not sin; for some have an ignorance of God; I say [it] to you for shame.
Arahũkai mwĩigue ta ũrĩa mwagĩrĩirwo, na mũtigage kwĩhia; nĩgũkorwo andũ amwe matiũĩ Ngai: ndoiga ũguo nĩgeetha ndĩmũconore.
35 But someone will say, “How do the dead rise?”
No mũndũ ahota kũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa akuũ mariũkagio atĩa? Magooka marĩ na mwĩrĩ ũhaana atĩa?”
36 Unwise! You—what you sow is not quickened except it may die;
Nĩ ũrimũ ũrĩkũ ũyũ! Kĩrĩa wahaanda-rĩ, gĩtimeraga gĩtambĩte gũkua.
37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of someone of the others,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa wahaanda-rĩ, ndũhaandaga mwĩrĩ ũrĩa ũgũcooka ũkorwo ho, no gũkorwo ũhaandaga mbeũ ya ngano kana ya kĩndũ kĩngĩ.
38 and God gives a body to it according as He willed, and its proper body to each of the seeds.
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 flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and 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 and [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;
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 one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star differs from 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 dishonor, 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 so also it has been written: “The first man Adam became a living creature,” the last Adam [is] for a life-giving 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 but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, 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] out of the earth—earthly; the second Man [is] the LORD out of Heaven;
Mũndũ wa mbere aarĩ wa rũkũngũ rwa thĩ, no mũndũ wa keerĩ oimĩte igũrũ.
48 as [is] the earthly, such [are] also the earthly; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the 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 according as we bore the image of the earthly, we will 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 And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the corruption inherit the 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 tell you a secret: we indeed will not all sleep, but we will all be changed;
Thikĩrĩriai, ndĩmwĩre ũndũ wa hitho: Tũtigaakua ithuothe, no nĩkũgarũrwo tũkaagarũrwo ithuothe,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will 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 it is necessary for this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to 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 and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the word that has been written: “Death was swallowed up—to 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 And the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the Law;
Rũboora rwa gĩkuũ nĩ mehia, naguo hinya wa mehia uumanaga na watho.
57 and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
No rĩrĩ, Ngai arogaathwo nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũtũheaga ũtooria thĩinĩ wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
58 so that, my beloved brothers, become steadfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the LORD at all times, knowing that your labor in the LORD is not vain.
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.
