1 Corinthians 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare anew to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye received, and wherein ye stand,
Pacino cino cindi mobanse bame, ndayandanga kumwanushako Makani Aina ngondalamukambaukila. Mwalatambula cena pakwinga epashimpa lushomo lwenu.
2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the same word which I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain.
Lesa nakamupulushe ne Mulumbe Waina uwu, na kamusunga cena maswi akendi ngondalamukambaukila. Na mubula kwinseco, lushomo lwenu ingaluba lwabulyo.
3 For I delivered to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
Ame ndalatambula makani alayandikinga, awo ngondalamwambila mbuli ncondalambilweti, Klistu walafwila bwipishi bwetu mbuli ncecalembwa mu Mabala a Lesa,
4 and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
kwambeti balamubika mumanda, nomba Lesa walamupundusha pabusuba bwa butatu mbuli Mabala Lesa ncalambanga.
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Kayi palikuba makani akwambeti walabonekela kuli Petulo ne kuli batumwa likumi ne babili.
6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.
Kayi walabonekela kuli beshikwiya bakendi bapita myanda isanu, bangi bacili bayumi lelo necikabeti nabambi bafwa.
7 After that, he appeared to James; then to all the apostles.
Pacindi nacimbi walabonekela kuli Jemusi ne kuli batumwa bonse.
8 And last of all, as to one born out of due time, he appeared also to me.
Nomba pamapwililisho walabonekela kulinjame ondyeti mwana ngobalayambakanya.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, one not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Ame njame mung'ana pabatumwa bonse, kayi nkandelela nekukwiweti mutumwa sobwe, pakwinga njame ndalikupensha mubungano wa Lesa.
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 labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Nomba cebo ca kwambeti Lesa waina moyo, lelo nenjame ndemutumwa. Kwina moyo kwakendi ntelo kwabulyo sobwe, kayi ndalimbikila kusebensa ncito kupita batumwa nabambi, nomba ntame ndalikusebensa sobwe, nsombi ni kwinamoyo kwa Lesa.
11 Whether, then, it were I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye believed.
Neco ncondalikukambauka nambi ncobalikukambauka nabambi, nsombi twense tulakambaukunga Mulumbe umo umo uwo ngomulashomonga.
12 But if Christ be preached that he hath risen from the dead, how is it that some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Lino, pakwinga mulumbe wetu niwakwambeti Klistu walapunduka kubafu, inga nipacebo cini nabambi mulinjamwe ncobela kwambileti bafwa nteti bakapunduke?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ hath not risen;
Pakwinga na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, ekwambeti nendi Yesu uliya kupunduka kubafu.
14 and if Christ hath not risen, then is our preaching vain, and vain also is your faith.
Anu na Klistu uliya kupunduka kubafu, ncotulakambaukunga nicabulyo, kayi nekushoma kwenu nikwabulyo.
15 And we are also found false witnesses concerning God; because we testified concerning God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up, if so be that the dead rise not.
Pelu palico, ingacilesheti afwe tulabepenga Lesa, pakwambeti Lesa walapundusha Yesu kubafu. Na nicakubinga kwambeti bafwa nteti bakapunduke, anu Lesa uliya kumupundusha Yesu kubafu.
16 For if the dead rise not, then Christ hath not risen;
Neco, na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, anu neye Yesu uliya kupunduka sobwe.
17 and if Christ hath not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins;
Kayi na Lesa uliya kumupundusha Yesu, okwambeti lushomo lwenu muli Klistu nilwabulyo, kayi mucili panshi pangofu yabwipishi.
18 then also they that have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Kayi ngacipandululeti abo balafwa kabali bashoma muli Yesu, bafwa kufwililila.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Na kupembelela kwetu muli Klistu nikwabuyumi bwacino cindi conka, ekwambeti afwe ingatuba ne nsoni kupita bantu bonse mucishi capanshi.
20 But now hath Christ risen from the dead, the first-fruits of them that have fallen asleep.
Nomba cakubinga nicakwambeti, Lesa walamupundusha Klistu kubafu kuba citondesho cakwambeti, uliyense eti akafwe nakapundushiwe kubafu.
21 For since through man came death, through man came also the resurrection of the dead.
Mbuli lufu ncolwalesa pacebo ca muntu umo, cimocimo nekupunduka kubafu kwalesa pacebo ca muntu umo.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ will all be made alive.
Mbuli Adamu ncalatuletela lufu twense, nenjafwe twense Klistu nakatupundushe kubafu.
23 But every one in his own order; Christ the first-fruits, afterward they that are Christ's, at his coming.
Nomba Lesa nakapundushenga muntu uliyense pacindi cakendi camwelela. Cakutanguna Lesa walapundusha Klistu cisepo citanshi, kayi Klistu akesa nakapundushe abo bashoma muliendiye.
24 Then will be the end, when he delivereth up the kingdom to God, the Father, when he shall have destroyed all dominion, and all authority, and power.
Popelapo mapwililisho acishi nakashike, Klistu akakoma bendeleshi bamishimu yaipa bonse, bulelo bonse ne ngofu shonse nakatwale Bwami mumakasa a Lesa Baishi.
25 For he must reign, “till he hath put all enemies under his feet.”
Neco Klistu welela kwendelesha bulelo kushikila cindi Lesa ncoti akakome balwani bakendi, ne kubabika panshi pamyendo yakendi Klistu.
26 The last enemy, death, will be destroyed;
Mulwani wakupwililisha eti akomwe ni lufu.
27 for “he put all things under his feet.” But when it is said that all things have been put under him, it is manifest that he who put all things under him is excepted.
Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Lesa labiki bintu byonse panshi pa myendo ya Mwana muntu.” Paliya kutonshana nditu pamaswi akwambeti, “bintu byonse” Nkabilasankanyangaponga Lesa mwine uyo labikinga bintu byonse kuli Klistu.
28 And when all things have been put under him, then will also the Son himself become subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Neco bintu byonse byakabikwa mubwendeleshi bwa Klistu, nendi nakalibike panshi pa bwendeleshi bwa Baishi abo balabika bintu byonse panshi palyendiye, kufumapo Lesa nakendeleshe kwakupwililila kucindi cacindi.
29 If it be not so, what are they doing, who are baptized for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them?
Ingalino, cilyeconi kubantu abo balabatishiwanga pacebo ca bantu bafwa? Nicani ncobela kwinsa? Na nicakubinga kwambeti Lesa nkelela kupundusha bafwa, mbuli bantu ncobalambanga, inga nipacebo cini bantu ncobalabatishiwanga cebo cabafwa beti bakabule kupundushiwa?
30 Why also do we stand in peril every hour?
Nipacebo cini afwe ncotulabikilinga buyumi bwetu mumapensho cindi conse?
31 I protest, brethren, by my glorying in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily.
Mobanse bame, ame ndalangananga nelufu busuba ne busuba. Nomba ndambilishinga kulitunta kwakame palinjamwe, nikulitunta kwa buyumi bwetu muli Klistu Yesu, kayi ecilampanga kwambeco.
32 If with the views of men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead rise not, “let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.”
Lino na ndalalwana ne bantu abo bela kwambweti nibanyama kuno ku Efenso, kupitila mumiyeyo ilafumunga kubantu, inga ndalacanapo cani? Neco na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, anu caina kwinsa mbuli ncobakute kwambeti. “Katulyani ne kunwa. Pakwinga lilo nitukafwe.”
33 Be not deceived; “evil communications corrupt good manners.”
“Kamutabepwa. Cinga cakwenda pamo ne bantu bakute bwikalo bwaipa cikute kwipisha bwikalo bwaina.”
34 Awake, as is your duty, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God; I say it to your shame.
Cangamukani! Shiyani bwikalo bwenu bwaipa. Ndambanga cakumupa nsoni pakwinga mobambi nkamumwishi Lesa.
35 But some one will say, How are the dead to rise? and with what body do they come?
Naumbi muntu ngawipusheti, “Inga bafwa nibakapundukeconi? Nibakabe ne mibili ilyeconi?”
36 Fool! that which thou sowest is not brought to life unless it die;
Uku nikwipusha kwakutabila! Mukute mwafumbika nseke mubulongo, nkaikute kumena kaitana ibeti ilabolo.
37 and what thou sowest, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but a bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or of some of the other grains;
Kayi nkamwela kubyala nseke shamena kendi, nsombi inseke shine, na ni shamaila nambi shacishango camushobo uliwonse.
38 but God giveth it a body, as he willed, and to every seed its own body.
Lesa eukute kupa mbuto imo ne imo mubili, kwelana ne kuyanda kwakendi.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.
Munyemfu wabintu byonse bikute buyumi nkawakoshana sobwe, bantu bakute munyemfu umbi, banyama bakute umbi, nasho inswi shikute munyemfu umbi.
40 There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.
Pali mibili yakwilu, kayi neya pacishi capanshi, nabo bulemu bwa mibili yakwilu bwapusana ne bulemu bwa mibili yapacishi capanshi.
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.
Lisuba nkalyakoshana ne mwenshi, nawo mwenshi nkawakoshana ne nyenyenshi, nasho nyenyenshi nkashakoshana sobwe.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
Umu emoti ikabele mibili pakupunduka kubafu. Mubili ngotukute kubika mumanda ukute kuya kubola, nomba wapundushiwa nteti ukabole sobwe.
43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
Pakubika mubilli mumanda ukute koli waipa, kayi wabula ngofu, nomba pakupunduka nukabe wabeka! Ukute ngofu!
44 it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body.
Mubili ukute kubikwa mumanda ni mubili wabuntu, pakupunduka nukabe mubili wa mushimu. Nditu na pali mubili wabuntu, anu nawo mubili wa mushimu nkoli.
45 Thus is it also written: “The first man Adam became a living soul;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
Pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Adamu muntu mutanshi walalengweti abe muyumi” Nomba Adamu wakupwililisha emushimu ukute kupa buyumi.
46 But the spiritual is not first, but the animal; and afterward the spiritual.
Neco, tulabono kwambeti ntewo mubili wa mushimu wela kutanguna, nsombi usa mubili wabuntu, wakonkapo ni mubili wa mushimu.
47 The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.
Muntu wakutanguna walikuba wapacishi capanshi, kayi walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo, muntu walakonkapo walafumina kwilu kumayoba.
48 As was the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly;
Mbuli muntu wakutanguna walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo ncalikuba encobabele bapacishi capanshi, mbuli uyo wakwilu kumayoba ncabele encobabele nabo bakwilu.
49 and as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Lino mbuli ncotwakoshana ne uyo walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo, kayi nitukakoshane ne uyo walafuma kwilu kumayoba.
50 And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Mobanse bame, cintu ncondambanga nicakwambeti, muntu ukute mubili wa munyemfu ne milopa nkela kwingila mu Bwami bwakwilu sobwe, nambi cikute kufwa, kuba citabolo.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep; but we shall all be changed,
Nyumfwani cancine ncine casolekwa, nteti tukafwe twense.
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Pakwinga tolompita yakalila twense nitukashinte popelapo, mbuli kukapula kwa linso. Pakwinga tolompita yakalila bafwa nibakapunduke, nteti tukafwepo kayi twense nitukashinte.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Pakwinga mibili ikute kubola yela kuba itabolo. Cikute kufwa cela kushinta kuba citafu.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass that which is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Ici cakenshika kwambeti, cikute kubola cakashinta kuba citabolo, kayi ceshikufwa cakashinta kuba citafu, popelapo Mabala a Lesa nakakwanilishiwe alambangeti, “Lufu lulalobo kayi kukoma kulashiki.
Obe lufu inga kukoma kwakobe kulikupeyo? Obe lufu inga ngofu shakobe shilikupeyo?” (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the Law.
Lufu lwalafuma kubwipishi, nabo bwipishi bwalafuma ku mulawo.
57 But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nomba tulalumbunga Lesa latupanga ngofu shakukoma kupitila muli Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu!
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Neco, mobanse bame, kamwimanani ncili. Sebensani ncito ya Mwami cindi conse, pakwinga mucisheti ncito ya Mwami njemulenshinga nteyo yabulyo sobwe.
