1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
Sambano achalongo achinjangu, ngusaka nankumbusye yankati Ngani Jambone jinanlalichile, jimwajipochele jajili nsingi wa chikulupi chenu. Ni ŵanyamwe nkwima chilimbile pa wele nsingi wo.
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
Utenga unanlalichile wo uli Ngani Jambone, ŵanyamwe nkukulupuswa mwaikamulisyaga yambone yeila inannalichile, ikaŵaga yeleyo chikulupi chenu ngaŵa chindu.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Pakuŵa kundanda nampele ŵanyamwe indu yaili ni mate nnope inapochele une nansyene: Kuti Kilisito ŵawilile sambi syetu mpela yagakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
ni ŵaŵichikwe mwilembe ni kusyuka pa lyuŵa lyaatatu mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala,
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
kundanda ŵaakopochele che Petulo, ni kanyuma ŵaakopochele aŵala likumi ni ŵaŵili.
6 After that he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
Sooni ŵaakopochele achalongo achinjetu kupunda mia tano kwa pamo ni ŵane mwa ŵanyawo ali chiŵela ni umi ni ŵane ajasiche.
7 After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
Kanyuma ŵakopochele che Yakobo ni sooni ŵaakopochele achinduna wose.
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
Mbesi ŵangopochele une jundi mpela jumbagwile ngaŵa katema kao.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Pakuŵa une ndili nduna jwamwana kupunda achinduna wose, nganguŵajilwa kuŵilanjikwa nduna, ligongo nalagasisye mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaali ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Nambo, kwa upile wa Akunnungu mele yele indi, ni upile wambele, nganamba kwa iyiyi peyi. Ngaŵa kuti napanganyisye masengo kwakuchalila kwapunda achinduna wose, nganiŵa une, nambo umbone wa Akunnungu ŵaliji pamo none.
11 Whether then it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
Nipele yaŵaga une ni jungulalichila pane ŵelewo, chelecho ni chatukulalichila, ni chelecho ni chinkuchikulupilila.
12 Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Iŵaga yalalichikwe kuti Kilisito ŵasyuchile, ŵampepe mwa ŵanyamwe akukombola chinauli kusala, ngapagwa kusyuka?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
Nambo iŵaga kwangali kusyuka, nipele Kilisito nganasyuka.
14 If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
Iŵaga Kilisito nganasyuka, kulalichila kwetu kuli kwangali chindu, ni kukulupilila kwenu kuli kwangali chindu.
15 Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.
Kupunda yeleyo, tukuloleka kuŵa ŵaumboni ŵa unami paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa twasasile kuti Akunnungu ŵasyusisye Kilisito, nambo nganiŵasyusya, iŵaga ili isyene, ŵawile ngaasyuka.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
Pakuŵa naga ŵawile ngakusyuswa nipele Kilisito nombe nganasyuka.
17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
Iŵaga Kilisito nganasyuka, chikulupi chenu changali chindu ni ŵanyamwe ndi chiŵela mu sambi.
18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Sooni ŵakukulupilila wose ŵaŵawile achakulupililaga Kilisito asoiye.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied.
Ni iŵaga tukwalolela Kilisito mu umi awuwupewu, uweji tukusachilwa tukolelwe chanasa kwapunda ŵandu wose.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.
Nambo isyene, Kilisito asyuchile, Jwelejo ali jwaandanda ni chimanyisyo chisyene kwa aŵala ŵandu ŵaŵawile kuti chasyuchikwe.
21 For since death came by a man, the resurrection of the dead also came by a man.
Pakuŵa mpela ila chiwa chaichiswe ni mundu jumo, iyoyopeyo, kusyuka kwaichiswe ni mundu jumo.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
Mpela ila ŵandu wose iyakuti pakuwa kwaligongo lya kulumbikana ni che Adamu, iyoyopeyo wandu wose akutendekwa ŵajumi kwaligongo lya kulumbikana ni Kilisito.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.
Nambo kila mundu chasyuche kwa katema kakwe, Kilisito ŵasyuchile kundanda nipele aŵala ŵaali ŵandu ŵakwe Kilisito chasyusikwe, apala Kilisito pachaiche.
24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
Pele mbesi chijiiche katema Kilisito pachachapa Akunnungu Atati umwenye, pachamale kwonanga mbumu sya ulamusi ni mbumu sya ukulu ni mbumu sya machili.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
Pakuŵa Kilisito tachitawala mpaka Akunnungu pachachaŵika ŵammagongo ŵao paasi pa makongolo gao.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
Jwammagongo jwambesi kwonasika ali chiwa.
27 For, "He put all things under his feet." But when he says "all things" are put under, it is evident that the one who put all things under is the exception.
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Akunnungu aŵisile yose paasi pa makongolo gakwe.” Nambo Malembelo pagakusala, “Indu yose iŵichikwe paasi pa makongolo gakwe aitawale,” ikuwoneka pangasisika yakuti Akunnungu nganapagwa mu indu yo, pakuŵa welewo ni ŵaiŵisile indu yose paasi pa makongolo ga Kilisito.
28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
Indu yose yaŵichikwaga paasi pa ulamusi wa Kilisito nombe Mwana chaliŵiche nsyene paasi pa Akunnungu, kuti Akunnungu aitawale indu yose ni papali pose.
29 Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
Sambano, iŵaga nganikupagwa kusyuka, chatendeuli aŵala ŵaŵabatiswe kwaligongo lya ŵawe? Iŵaga ŵawe ngaasyusikwa, kwachichi ŵandu akubatiswa kwaligongo lyao?
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
Ni kwetu uwe, kwachichi tukulitaga mu yakogoya katema kose?
31 I affirm, brothers, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Achalongo achinjangu, une nguutyosya umi wangu moŵa gose! Isyene ngusala! Ngulilapa kwaligongo lyenu kwa kulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito Ambuje ŵetu.
32 If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
Kumenyana kwangu ni ŵandu ŵaŵaliji mpela inyama yakalipa ku Efeso kula, namenyene kwa usache wa ŵandu, ana napatile ichichi? Iŵaga ŵawe ngaasyusikwa sambano nneche, “Tulye ni kung'wa, pakuŵa malaŵi chituwe.”
33 Do not be deceived. "Bad company corrupts good morals."
Ngasinlambuchikwa: “Umbusanga ŵakusakala ukonanga wende wambone.”
34 Become sober-minded, and do not sin, for some are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.
Mpitikusye ng'anisyo syenu, mpanganye yambone, pakuŵa ŵampepe mwa ŵanyamwe ngakwamanyilila Akunnungu ng'oo. Nguŵecheta yeleyi kuti nantesye soni.
35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?"
Nambo mundu akukombola kuusya, “Ana ŵawe akusyuswa chinauli? Ana chachiŵa ni iilu yantiuli?”
36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
Ŵakuloŵela mmwe! Chinkuchipanda ngachimela mpaka chiwe kaje.
37 That which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
Pankupanda, nkupanda lusongolo pe, lwaŵaga lusongolo lwa ngano pane mbeju jine, ngawa mmela wansima waukutyochela kanyuma.
38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
Nambo Akunnungu akujipa mbeju jo uloleche mpela yakuti kusaka nsyene, ni kila lusongolo lukwete uloleche wakwe.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of humans, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
Iilu ya yepanganyikwe yose ngaikulandana. Ŵandu akwete iilu yao ni inyama ikwete iilu yao, ijuni ikwete iilu yao ni somba sikwete iilu yao.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
Sooni ipali iilu ya kwinani ni iilu ya pachilambo, nambo usalale wa iilu ya kwinani ngaukulandana ni usalale wa iilu ya pachilambo.
41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
Lyuŵa likwete usalale wakwe ni lwesi lukwete usalale wakwe, ni ndondwa sikwete usalale wakwe. Namose ndondwa nasyo silekangene kwa usalale.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
Ni ichiiŵe katema ka kusyuswa kwa ŵawe. Mpela ila mbeju, chiilu chikusikwa akuno chili chiosile nambo chikusyuka akuno chili chejumi.
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
Chiilu chikusikwa mwa kwaluka chikusyuka mu lumbili, chiilu chikusikwa mwakulepetala chikusyuka mu machili.
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
Chiilu pachikusikwa, chikusikwa kwa chiilu chatupagwile nacho, nambo pachikusyuswa, chikusyuswa kwa chimbumu, iŵaga kwana chiilu chatupagwile nacho nipele chipali nombe chiilu cha chimbumu.
45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Ilembekwe Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, “Mundu jwaandanda, che Adamu, ŵaliji mundu jwanjumi,” nambo Adamu jwambesi ali Mbumu jwakwapa ŵandu umi.
46 However that which is spiritual is not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
Ngaŵa chiilu cha chimbumu chichalongolele, nambo chiilu chitupagwile nacho, ni mbesi achila chiilu cha chimbumu.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is from heaven.
Che Adamu jwaandanda ŵagumbikwe kutyochela mu litaka, nambo che Adamu jwaaŵili jwatyochele kwinani.
48 As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Wose ŵali pachilambo ali mpela ajula juŵagumbikwe mu litaka, nambo aŵala ŵaa kwinani ali mpela ajula juŵatyochele kwinani.
49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let us also bear the image of the heavenly.
Ni mpela itutite kulandana ni mundu juŵagumbikwe kwa litaka, iyoyo chitulandane ni mundu juŵatyochele kwinani.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
Ngunsalila achinjangu, chiilu cha mundu ngachikombola kwinjila mu umwenye wa Akunnungu, atamuno chiilu chachikuwola ngachikukombola kwinjila peuto paikwinjila iilu yangaikuwola.
51 Look, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
Mpilikanile, ngunsalila yantemela, ngatuwa wose, nambo wose chitugalauswe,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
indu yi chiikopochele katema lipenga lya mbesi pachilisone, chisisimuchile. Pakuŵa lipenga pachilisone, ŵawe chachisyuswa akawa sooni, noweji chitugalauswe.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Pakuŵa chiilu chakonasika chikusachilwa chigalauswe ni kuŵa changajonasika, ni chiilu chakuwa chikusachilwa chigalauswe chiŵe changawa.
54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."
Nipele chiilu chakonasika cho pachichigalauswe ni kuwa changajonasika, ni chiilu chakuwa pachichigalauswe kuŵa changawa, nipele alila liloŵe lyalilembekwe patiliŵe isyene, “Chiwa chijonasikwe ni kupunda kumalile!”
“Ana ugwe chiwa, kupunda kwenu kuli kwapi? Ana ugwe chiwa machili genu gagakwika nako kupoteka galikwapi?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Chiwa chikukola machili gakuulasya kutyochela mu sambi, ni sambi sikukola machili kutyochela mmalajisyo ga che Musa.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nambo twatogolele Akunnungu, ŵelewo akututenda tupunde kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Nipele achalongo achinjangu, njimanje kwakulimbila, nkatinganyika. Moŵa gose mpunde kulityosya mmasengo ga Ambuje pakuŵa nkuimanyilila kuti masengo gankugapanganya kwa ligongo lya Ambuje nganigaŵa ga iyiyi peyi.
