1 Corinthians 15
1 Now, my fellow believers, I want to remind you about the message about Christ that I preached to you. It is the message that you received and that you have continued to trust firmly.
Ha7ika ta ishato ta intena sabakin inte ekkidine izan minni eqqida mishiracho qaala ha7i qofisana koyays.
2 If you keep on firmly [believing] this message that I preached to you, you will be saved {[God] will save you}. If you do not continue to believe it, your believing [in Christ] was (all for nothing/useless)!
Ta intes sabakida qaala inte lo7ethi oykkiko he mishiracho qaalan inte attana. Hessa mala gidontta aggiko inte ammanoy coo mela hadakko.
3 The most important part of the message that I received [from the Lord Jesus], and that I told you, was this: Christ died to [take away the guilt] of our sins, as the Scriptures [said that he would do].
Tani taas ekkidayssane wursofe adhdhizayssa intes aatha imadis. Geesha maxaafati gizayssa mala Kiristoosay nu nagara gishshi hayqides.
4 His [dead body] was buried {They buried his [body]}. On the third day [after that], [God] caused him to become alive again, as the Scriptures [said would happen].
Moogettides; Geesha maxaafatan xaafettidayssa mala hedzdzantho gallas hayqope dendides.
5 After that, [Christ] was seen by {appeared to} Peter. Then he appeared to [eleven of] the [original] twelve [apostles].
Hessafe kaallidi Phixirosas bettides. Qasseka Yesusa kaalliza tammane nam77atas bettides.
6 Later he was seen by {appeared to} more than 500 of our fellow believers. Most of those are still living, but some of them have died [EUP].
Hessafe guye ichchachu xeetupe bollara diza ammanizaytas issito bettides. He iza be7ida asape dariza baggay paxa dees. Baggay qasse hayqqides
7 Then he was seen by {appeared [to]} [his younger brother] James, [who became the leader of the congregation in Jerusalem]. Then he appeared to all of the apostles.
Hessafe guye Yaqobes bettides. Kaallidika kumetha hawaristas bettides.
8 Finally, he was seen by {appeared to} me, but I became an apostle in a way that was very unusual [MET].
Tani hawarista wursofe guuthukko. Tani kase Xoossa woossa keeth goodida gishshi haware geetistanas ta bessonttadekko shin asa wursofe awucaya milatiza taasika bettides.
9 The fact is, I [consider that I] am the least important of the apostles. I do not deserve to be an apostle, because I (persecuted God’s groups of believers/caused God’s groups of believers to suffer) [everywhere I went].
10 But it is because God acted kindly toward me in ways that I did not deserve that I became what I am now. And his acting kindly toward me produced a great result [LIT], which is that I worked harder [for Christ] than all the other apostles. But it was not that I [was working with my own ability]. Instead, God was helping me in a way I did not deserve.
Gido attin Xoossa kiyatethan ha7i ta hanidayssa hanadis. Taasika imettida Xoossa kiyatethi mela hada gidibeyna. Tani oonapeka bollara daro minna oothadis. Gido attin hessa oothiday tana gidontta Xoossa aadho kiyatethi oothides.
11 So it does not matter whether it was I [who was preaching or whether it was the other apostles who were preaching]. We all preached [the same message], and that message is what you believed.
Hessa gishshi tana gidin isttaka gidin nu wurikka sabakizay hessako. Inteka ammaniday hessako.
12 So now [let me ask you this]: Since [we] have all preached to you that Christ was raised again {that [God] caused Christ to become alive} after he died, (no one among you should be saying that [God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again after they die!/why do some of you say that [God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again after they die?) [RHQ]
Kiristoosay hayqope dendidayssa nu tamarissiko histin inte garisafe issi issi asati waanidi hayqope dendoy baawa gizoo?
13 If [it is true that God] will not cause anyone to become alive again, that situation would mean that Christ was not raised from the dead {[he] did not cause Christ to become alive again}!
Hayqida asas denthi donttaz gidiko Kiristoosayka dendibeyna guusakaa?
14 And if Christ was not raised from the dead {if [God] did not cause Christ to become alive again}, then what we preached to you was useless, and your believing [in Christ] is useless.
Kirstoosayka hayqope dendonttaz gidiko nu sabakosu go7ay baawa. Inte ammanoyka co mela hadakko.
15 [If it is true that] no one will be raised from the dead {[that God] will not cause anyone to become alive again after he dies}, we [(exc)] have been guilty of lying to you about God, because we told you that God caused Christ to become alive again.
Hessafeka bollara Xoossi Kiristoosa hayqope denthides giidi nu marikatida marikayka nuna wordo Xoossa marikata kessideskaa? Hayqida asay hayqope dendonttaz gidiko Xoossi Kiristoosaka denthibeyna guusukko.
16 But if it were really true that no one who has died will be raised {that [God will] not cause anyone who has died to become alive} again, then Christ was not raised {[he] did not cause Christ to become alive} again either!
Gaasoyka hayqidayti dendonttazi gidiko Kiristoosayka hayqope dendibeyna.
17 If it were true that Christ was not raised {that [God] did not cause Christ to become alive} again after he died, you have believed in Christ for nothing, [because] God will still [punish] you for [MTY] your sins.
Kiristoosay hayqope dendonttaz gidiko inte ammanoy coo melakko. Inteka hanno gakkanaas inte nagarara deista guusukko.
18 And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. (questioned)
Hanoy hessa mala gidiko Kiristoosa ammanid hayqidayti wurikka dhayida guusukko.
19 In this life [many of us have suffered much for Christ] because we confidently expect [that he will reward us in heaven]. If we have confidently expected this in vain, people should pity us more than they pity anyone else!
Nuni Kiristoosan ufayss oothizay hanno biittay bolla duussas xalala gidiko nu asa wursofe lafatakko.
20 But [the truth is that] Christ has been raised from the dead {that [God] has caused Christ to live again after he had died}, and (that guarantees/because of that, it is certain) [MET] that he will also cause those [believers] who have died [EUP] to become alive again.
Gido attin Kiristoosay hayqidaytas wursos bayra gididi hayqope tumu dendides.
21 What one man, [Adam, did affects us all]. We all die. Similarly, what one man—[Christ]—did [affects us(inc) all]: God will cause [all believers] to become alive again.
Hayqoy issi asa Addame baggara yida mala hayqidayta denthi Kiristoosa baggarakko.
22 Because of what Adam did, all [of us who are descended] from him die. Similarly, because of what [Christ did], all of us who have a close relationship with him will be brought back to life {[God] will make alive all of us who have a close relationship with Christ}.
Asi wurikka Addame baggara hayqida mala hessathoka asi wurikka Kiristoosa baggara hayqope dendana.
23 But we must all take our turn. [God raised] Christ first [MET]. And when Christ returns, [God will cause] those who belong to Christ to become alive again.
Gido attin wurikka ba tarara tarara dedana. Koyko bayra gidida Kristoosay dendides. Izape kaallidi izi yiza wode Kiristoosas gidizayti dendana.
24 Then, after Christ has destroyed all [DOU] the evil powers that oppose God, [the world] will end. Then Christ will give to God, his Father, his kingdom to completely rule over it.
Hessafe guye haaretiza dereta, godatethine wolqamata wursi dhayssidape guye kawota Xoossa Aawas aathi immiza wode he wode wursethi gidana.
25 You must realize that Christ must rule [here on earth] until he has completely defeated [MTY] all his enemies.
Be morike wursika ba too garis aathana gakkanaas izi kawotanas besses.
26 The last thing that [he] will get rid of is death. [But he certainly will get rid of death, which is like] an enemy [to us].
Buro wursethan xooneti dhayana morkey hayqqokko.
27 [In the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] God will cause everything to be under Christ’s [authority] [MTY]. But it is clear that the word ‘everything’ here does not include God, because God is the one who will cause everything to be under Christ’s [authority] [MTY].
“Xoossi wursika iza Godatethafe garisan wothides” gizazi geesha maxaafan xaafetides. Gido attin “Wurika iza Godatetha garisan gidides” gishin wurikka iza Godatetha garisan oothida Xoossa Aawa gujjonttako.
28 After everything is put under [the authority of] God’s Son, then Christ will put himself completely under [the authority of] God, the one who gave him that authority. Then God will be completely in control of everything [IDM], everywhere.
Wurika izas haaretidayssafe guye Xoossi wursofe bolla gidana mala Xoossa nay qasse wursi bees haarisidayssas Xoossa Aawas haaristana.
29 [Now think about this: Some among you] are being baptized (OR, are baptizing people) on behalf of those who died [before someone baptized them] (OR, who died [before they became believers]). If, [as some people say, believers] will not be raised [from the dead] {[God] will not cause [believers] to become alive again}, (what is the value in those people doing that?/there is no value in those people doing that!) [RHQ] If [God] will not cause any [believers] to become alive again, it is senseless to be baptized {baptize anyone} on behalf of someone who has died. [RHQ]
Hayqope denthi doontta aggiko histin hayqida asa gishshi giidi xammaqetiza wursos go7ay aazee? Hayqidayti muleka dendonttaz gidiko histin asay istta gishshi aazas xammaqetizee?
30 Furthermore, [if God will not cause us believers to become alive again], it is [RHQ] very foolish for me and the other apostles to be constantly [putting ourselves] in danger [because we tell people the gospel].
Nu qass wurso wode iitta metos aadhi imettizay aazasee?
31 My fellow believers, every day I [am in danger of] being killed {people killing me}! That is as true as it is that I am pleased with you because of your close relationship with Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ta ishato hachchi hachchi hayqoy tanara gaagees. Hessaka nu Goda Yesusa Kiristoosa geedon inte bolla diza ammanetethi ta intes qonccisays.
32 [If God will not cause us believers to become alive again after we die], (I will receive no benefit at all [from having opposed those who attacked me so strongly] in Ephesus [city]./what will I gain [from having opposed those who attacked me so strongly] in Ephesus [city]?) [RHQ] They were [fighting me like] wild beasts! If we [believers] will not be raised [from the dead] {If [God] will not cause us [believers] to live again}, we might as well say [as people often say]: “Tomorrow we are going to die, so we might as well enjoy now everything that we can. We might as well feast and get drunk!”
Tani Efesonen do7a milatiza asatara baaxettidayssi asi beyana mala xalala gidiko taas izan aaza wodhey dizee? Hayqidaytas denthi dontta aggiko “Nu wontto hayqana gishshi ane moosu, ane uyossu” gizayta mala nuka istta mala gidosu.
33 Do not let [yourselves be deceived by those who say that God will not cause believers to live again] {Do not let [people who say that God will not cause believers to live again] deceive you}. If you associate with evil people [who say such things], they will (influence you to do evil things/destroy your good moral way of living).
Inte balettofite “Iitta lagetethi, lo7o amalera dizayta moores.”
34 Start thinking correctly again [about these matters], as you should, and [stop your sinful behavior which has resulted from] your wrong thinking. [I say that] because [it seems that] some among you do not know God, and as a result they [are thinking wrongly]. I say that to make you ashamed.
Wozinama gidite; nagara oothopite; Xoossu eronttayti issi issi asati inte garisan diza gishshi ta hessa intena yeelachanas gayss.
35 But some of you are asking, “How will dead people be raised {How will [God] cause dead people to become alive} again? What kind of bodies will they have?”
Hayqidayti waani dendanee? Ay mala ashora dendanee? giza uray daana danda7es.
36 [Anyone who asks such questions is] foolish. You [know that] a seed that is planted in the ground must completely change its form [MET] before it sprouts.
Neno, eeyazo! ne zeriza zerethay hayqontta dishe caarena.
37 A seed, such as a wheat seed, is very different from the plant that sprouts from it.
Neni zeriza kaththa handaya gistte woykko hara kaththa ayfe gidikkoka guyepe ne ekkanara ha7i ne zeroro giduku.
38 God gives everything that lives the form that he desires. He gives each seed its own form.
Xoossi qasse ba koyda mala he zerethas iza mala medho immes. Zeretha qomotas issas issas iza milatiza asateth immes.
39 [Similarly], people, animals, birds, and fish all have flesh, but each one has a different kind of flesh.
Ashoy wurikka issi mala gidena. Asa ashoy issa gidishin mehe ashoy qasse harakko, Kafo ashoy harakko, mole ashoyka hara qommokko.
40 Also, there are angelic beings in heaven (OR, stars and planets in the sky), and there are people with bodies on the earth. The angelic beings (OR, stars and planets) are beautiful in one way, and people on earth are beautiful in a different way.
Hessa malaka salon dizaytaska istta milatiza medhoy dees. Biitta bolla dizaytaskka istta milatiza medhoy dees. Gido saloyta bonchoy issi malakko. Biitta bolla dizayta medho bonchoyka dummakko.
41 The sun is bright in one way, and the moon is bright in a different way, and the stars are bright in a different way. And even the various stars are different from each other in how bright they are.
Awa arshe bonchoy issinokko. Gido attin agina bonchoy qasse dummakko. Xoolinttista bonchoyka harakko. Issi xoolintte bonchoy hara xoolintte bonchofe dummates.
42 And it is the same way [with our bodies. The bodies that we will have when God causes us] to live again after we die [will not be the same as the bodies that we have now] [MET]. [The bodies that we have now] will die and decay. [The new bodies that we will have] will never die.
Hayqida asa denthika hessa malakko. Wooqiza medhoy zaretin wooqontta medhoy dendana.
43 We despise [the bodies that we have now], before we die. But our [new bodies] will be glorious. The [bodies that we have before we die] are weak. But our new bodies will be strong.
Kawushatethan zaretana shin bonchon dendana. Daburisan zaretana shin wolqama gididi dendana.
44 The bodies that we have before we die are natural bodies. But [our new bodies] will be ones that [God’s] Spirit ([controls/gives us]). Just like there are natural bodies, there are bodies that [God’s] Spirit [completely] controls (OR, makes alive).
Medhetetha medhoy zaretana shin ayana medhoy dendana. Medhetetha medhoy diiko qasseka ayana medhoyka dees.
45 [In the Scriptures] it is written {we read} that [when] the first man, Adam, [was created], he became a living human being. [Christ later also became a human being]. But [he is different from Adam, because he] became a person who gives us [spiritual] life.
Hessa gishshi “Koyro asi Adamey deyoy diza medheteth gidides” geeteti geesha maxaafan xaafetides. Nam7antho Adame gidida Kiristoosay gidiko asas deyo immiza ayanakko.
46 But our bodies that God’s Spirit (will completely control/will give us) are not the first bodies that we have. We have our natural bodies first.
Gido attin koyro yiday ayanayssa gidontta medhetethayssakko. Ayanayssi qass guyepe yidayssakko.
47 The first man, [Adam], was created {[God] created the first man, Adam} from the dust of the earth. But [Christ], the one who came later, came from heaven.
Koyro yida Adamey biittafe medhetida gishshi izi biittafekko. Nam7antho yiday salopekko.
48 Everyone on earth [has a body] like the first man on the earth had. And in heaven, [everyone will have a body like Christ], the man who came from heaven, has.
Biittafe gididayti istti biittafe medhetidayssa malakko. Salope gididayti salope yidayssa malakko.
49 And just like [God] gave us bodies like the first man on earth had, so we [believers will have bodies] like [Christ] has, who is now in heaven.
Nuni biitta asa medha mayoyssathoka saloyssa medhaka mayana.
50 My fellow believers, I want you to know that we [(inc)] [SYN] cannot go [to heaven, where] God rules [over everything], with our physical bodies, because our bodies [cannot last forever]. They will die and decay.
Ta ishato ta hayssa intes yootays ashoyne suuthi Xoossa kawotethi laattetena. Dhayanayssi dhayonttayssa laatena.
51 But I will tell you something that [God] has not revealed [before]: [Some of] us [believers] will not die [EUP]. However, all of us will be changed {[God] will change all of us}.
Ane ta intes issi xuura yo yootayss. Nuni wurikka hayqqokko. Gido attin nu wurikka laamistana.
52 [It will happen] suddenly, as [fast as someone can] blink his eye [MET], when [we hear the sound of God’s] trumpet for the last time. When we hear that trumpet, all [the believers] who have died will come back to life and will have bodies that are changed {that [God] has changed}, bodies that will never decay.
Hessika hananay nu qopontta dishin wursetha xurumbbay punettiza wode hessi qiphida ayfey xeeliza mala issi to hanana. Xurumbbay punistana; Hayqida asay wooqonttayta gididi dendana. Nunika laamistana.
53 And the [bodies of us who are alive at that time] will [also] be changed {And [God] will [also] change the [bodies of us who are alive at that time]}. These bodies of ours that die and decay must be transformed into [new bodies that] will never die; [it will be like someone] [MET] getting rid of [his old clothes] and putting on [new ones].
Dhayzayssi dhayonttassa mayanas, hayqizay hayqonttayssa mayanas besses.
54 When that happens, what is written {what ([a prophet/Isaiah]) wrote} [in the Scriptures] will come true/happen: [God] will completely get rid of [MET] death. Our dying will no longer have any power to defeat us;
Dhayzay dhayonttaz, hayqizay hayqonttazi mayiza wode “Hayqoy xoonetti mitettides” geeteti kase geesha maxaafan xaafetida qaalay polettana.
Hessaththoka “Hayqqo kase ne xoonoy awan dizee? Hayqo ne izara cadiza yiishay awan dizee?” (Hadēs g86)
56 It is because we sin [MET] [that we die, and it is because we] have God’s laws that we [know that we] have sinned.
Hayqoy izara dukkiza wolqay nagarakko; Nagara wolqay wogakko.
57 But because of what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done], he enables us to be free [from having to obey God’s laws to be saved and to be free of being afraid to die]. We should thank God for that!
Gido attin Goda Yesus Kiristoosa baggara nuusu xoono immiza Xoossas galatay gido.
58 So, my fellow believers whom I love, continue to hold strongly to [the things that you believe]. Do not let anything cause you to doubt them. Always be doing enthusiastically the work that the Lord [gives you]. And remember that the work that you do for the Lord is never (in vain/useless), [as it would be if God will not cause us to live again after we die].
Hessa gishshi ta siiqo ishato minni eqite. Ay miishanka yariki yarikopite. Goda oothos inte daburiza daburisay hada gidonttayssa eridi wurso wode pacey bayinda Godas oothanas minettite.
