1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I remind you, brothers, of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you received and on which you 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 It is by this gospel that you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the word 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 as of first importance what 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, and 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 Christ appeared to Cephas, and then to the twelve;
kundanda ŵaakopochele che Petulo, ni kanyuma ŵaakopochele aŵala likumi ni ŵaŵili.
6 then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once. Most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.
Sooni ŵaakopochele achalongo achinjetu kupunda mia tano kwa pamo ni ŵane mwa ŵanyawo ali chiŵela ni umi ni ŵane ajasiche.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Kanyuma ŵakopochele che Yakobo ni sooni ŵaakopochele achinduna wose.
8 Last of all, he appeared to me, as if to a child born at the wrong time.
Mbesi ŵangopochele une jundi mpela jumbagwile ngaŵa katema kao.
9 For I am the least of the apostles. I am unworthy 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, and his grace in me was not in vain. Instead, I worked harder than all of them. Yet it was not I, but the grace of God that is 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 Therefore whether it is I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
Nipele yaŵaga une ni jungulalichila pane ŵelewo, chelecho ni chatukulalichila, ni chelecho ni chinkuchikulupilila.
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say 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, then not even Christ has been raised;
Nambo iŵaga kwangali kusyuka, nipele Kilisito nganasyuka.
14 and 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 Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we testified against God, saying he raised up Christ when he did not.
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, not even Christ has been raised;
Pakuŵa naga ŵawile ngakusyuswa nipele Kilisito nombe nganasyuka.
17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain and you are still in your sins.
Iŵaga Kilisito nganasyuka, chikulupi chenu changali chindu ni ŵanyamwe ndi chiŵela mu sambi.
18 Then those who have died in Christ have also perished.
Sooni ŵakukulupilila wose ŵaŵawile achakulupililaga Kilisito asoiye.
19 If only in this life we have hope in Christ, of all people we are most to be pitied.
Ni iŵaga tukwalolela Kilisito mu umi awuwupewu, uweji tukusachilwa tukolelwe chanasa kwapunda ŵandu wose.
20 But now Christ, who is the firstfruits of those who died, has been raised from the dead.
Nambo isyene, Kilisito asyuchile, Jwelejo ali jwaandanda ni chimanyisyo chisyene kwa aŵala ŵandu ŵaŵawile kuti chasyuchikwe.
21 For since death came by a man, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
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, who is the firstfruits, and then those who belong to Christ will be made alive 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 will be the end, when Christ will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. This is when he will abolish 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 to be destroyed is death.
Jwammagongo jwambesi kwonasika ali chiwa.
27 For “he has put everything under his feet.” But when it says “he has put everything,” it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to himself.
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 are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who put all things into subjection under 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 those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why 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 then, are we in danger every hour?
Ni kwetu uwe, kwachichi tukulitaga mu yakogoya katema kose?
31 Every day I face death! This is as sure as my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Achalongo achinjangu, une nguutyosya umi wangu moŵa gose! Isyene ngusala! Ngulilapa kwaligongo lyenu kwa kulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito Ambuje ŵetu.
32 What do I gain, from a human point of view, if I fought with beasts at Ephesus, if the dead are not raised? “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 Be not deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
Ngasinlambuchikwa: “Umbusanga ŵakusakala ukonanga wende wambone.”
34 Sober up! Live righteously! Do not keep sinning. For some of you have no knowledge of 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 will they come?”
Nambo mundu akukombola kuusya, “Ana ŵawe akusyuswa chinauli? Ana chachiŵa ni iilu yantiuli?”
36 You are so ignorant! What you sow will not start to grow unless it dies.
Ŵakuloŵela mmwe! Chinkuchipanda ngachimela mpaka chiwe kaje.
37 What you sow is not the body that will be, but a bare seed. It may become wheat or something else.
Pankupanda, nkupanda lusongolo pe, lwaŵaga lusongolo lwa ngano pane mbeju jine, ngawa mmela wansima waukutyochela kanyuma.
38 But God will give it a body as he chooses, and to each seed its own body.
Nambo Akunnungu akujipa mbeju jo uloleche mpela yakuti kusaka nsyene, ni kila lusongolo lukwete uloleche wakwe.
39 Not all flesh is the same. Instead, there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh for animals, and another flesh for birds, and another for fish.
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 heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly body is one kind and the glory of the earthly is another.
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, and 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. What is sown is perishable, and what is raised is imperishable.
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. If there is a natural body, 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 But the spiritual did not come first but the natural, and then the 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 Just as the one made from dust is, so also are those who are made of the dust, and as the man of heaven is, so also are those who are of heaven.
Wose ŵali pachilambo ali mpela ajula juŵagumbikwe mu litaka, nambo aŵala ŵaa kwinani ali mpela ajula juŵatyochele kwinani.
49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.
Ni mpela itutite kulandana ni mundu juŵagumbikwe kwa litaka, iyoyo chitulandane ni mundu juŵatyochele kwinani.
50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither does what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
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 secret truth: We will not all die, but we will all be changed.
Mpilikanile, ngunsalila yantemela, ngatuwa wose, nambo wose chitugalauswe,
52 We will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, 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 perishable body must put on what is imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
Pakuŵa chiilu chakonasika chikusachilwa chigalauswe ni kuŵa changajonasika, ni chiilu chakuwa chikusachilwa chigalauswe chiŵe changawa.
54 But when this perishable body has put on what is imperishable, and when this mortal body has put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “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 dear brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always abound in the work of the Lord, because you know that your work in the Lord is not in vain.
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.
