1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I remind you, brothers, of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you received and on which you stand.
Pacino cino cindi mobanse bame, ndayandanga kumwanushako Makani Aina ngondalamukambaukila. Mwalatambula cena pakwinga epashimpa lushomo lwenu.
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.
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 as of first importance 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 that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
kwambeti balamubika mumanda, nomba Lesa walamupundusha pabusuba bwa butatu mbuli Mabala Lesa ncalambanga.
5 Christ appeared to Cephas, and then to the twelve;
Kayi palikuba makani akwambeti walabonekela kuli Petulo ne kuli batumwa likumi ne babili.
6 then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once. Most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.
Kayi walabonekela kuli beshikwiya bakendi bapita myanda isanu, bangi bacili bayumi lelo necikabeti nabambi bafwa.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Pacindi nacimbi walabonekela kuli Jemusi ne kuli batumwa bonse.
8 Last of all, he appeared to me, as if to a child born at the wrong time.
Nomba pamapwililisho walabonekela kulinjame ondyeti mwana ngobalayambakanya.
9 For I am the least of the apostles. I am unworthy 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 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.
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 Therefore whether it is I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
Neco ncondalikukambauka nambi ncobalikukambauka nabambi, nsombi twense tulakambaukunga Mulumbe umo umo uwo ngomulashomonga.
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say 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 is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;
Pakwinga na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, ekwambeti nendi Yesu uliya kupunduka kubafu.
14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
Anu na Klistu uliya kupunduka kubafu, ncotulakambaukunga nicabulyo, kayi nekushoma kwenu nikwabulyo.
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.
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 are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;
Neco, na bafwa nteti bakapunduke, anu neye Yesu uliya kupunduka sobwe.
17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain and you are still in your sins.
Kayi na Lesa uliya kumupundusha Yesu, okwambeti lushomo lwenu muli Klistu nilwabulyo, kayi mucili panshi pangofu yabwipishi.
18 Then those who have died in Christ have also perished.
Kayi ngacipandululeti abo balafwa kabali bashoma muli Yesu, bafwa kufwililila.
19 If only in this life we have hope in Christ, of all people we are most to be pitied.
Na kupembelela kwetu muli Klistu nikwabuyumi bwacino cindi conka, ekwambeti afwe ingatuba ne nsoni kupita bantu bonse mucishi capanshi.
20 But now Christ, who is the firstfruits of those who died, has been raised from the dead.
Nomba cakubinga nicakwambeti, Lesa walamupundusha Klistu kubafu kuba citondesho cakwambeti, uliyense eti akafwe nakapundushiwe kubafu.
21 For since death came by a man, by a man also came 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 all will be made alive.
Mbuli Adamu ncalatuletela lufu twense, nenjafwe twense Klistu nakatupundushe kubafu.
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.
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 Christ will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. This is when he will abolish all rule 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 until he has put all his 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 to be destroyed is death.
Mulwani wakupwililisha eti akomwe ni lufu.
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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 then, are we in danger every hour?
Nipacebo cini afwe ncotulabikilinga buyumi bwetu mumapensho cindi conse?
31 Every day I face death! This is as sure as my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Mobanse bame, ame ndalangananga nelufu busuba ne busuba. Nomba ndambilishinga kulitunta kwakame palinjamwe, nikulitunta kwa buyumi bwetu muli Klistu Yesu, kayi ecilampanga kwambeco.
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.”
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: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
“Kamutabepwa. Cinga cakwenda pamo ne bantu bakute bwikalo bwaipa cikute kwipisha bwikalo bwaina.”
34 Sober up! Live righteously! Do not keep sinning. For some of you have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
Cangamukani! Shiyani bwikalo bwenu bwaipa. Ndambanga cakumupa nsoni pakwinga mobambi nkamumwishi Lesa.
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body will they come?”
Naumbi muntu ngawipusheti, “Inga bafwa nibakapundukeconi? Nibakabe ne mibili ilyeconi?”
36 You are so ignorant! What you sow will not start to grow unless it dies.
Uku nikwipusha kwakutabila! Mukute mwafumbika nseke mubulongo, nkaikute kumena kaitana ibeti ilabolo.
37 What you sow is not the body that will be, but a bare seed. It may become wheat or something else.
Kayi nkamwela kubyala nseke shamena kendi, nsombi inseke shine, na ni shamaila nambi shacishango camushobo uliwonse.
38 But God will give it a body as he chooses, and to each seed its own body.
Lesa eukute kupa mbuto imo ne imo mubili, kwelana ne kuyanda kwakendi.
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.
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 body is one kind 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 differs 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. What is sown is perishable, and what is raised is imperishable.
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 a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural 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 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became 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 did not come first but the natural, and then 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 of the earth, made of dust. The second man is from heaven.
Muntu wakutanguna walikuba wapacishi capanshi, kayi walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo, muntu walakonkapo walafumina kwilu kumayoba.
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.
Mbuli muntu wakutanguna walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo ncalikuba encobabele bapacishi capanshi, mbuli uyo wakwilu kumayoba ncabele encobabele nabo bakwilu.
49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.
Lino mbuli ncotwakoshana ne uyo walabumbwa kufumina kubulongo, kayi nitukakoshane ne uyo walafuma kwilu kumayoba.
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.
Mobanse bame, cintu ncondambanga nicakwambeti, muntu ukute mubili wa munyemfu ne milopa nkela kwingila mu Bwami bwakwilu sobwe, nambi cikute kufwa, kuba citabolo.
51 Look! I tell you a secret truth: We will not all die, but we will all be changed.
Nyumfwani cancine ncine casolekwa, nteti tukafwe twense.
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.
Pakwinga tolompita yakalila twense nitukashinte popelapo, mbuli kukapula kwa linso. Pakwinga tolompita yakalila bafwa nibakapunduke, nteti tukafwepo kayi twense nitukashinte.
53 For this perishable body must put on what is imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
Pakwinga mibili ikute kubola yela kuba itabolo. Cikute kufwa cela kushinta kuba citafu.
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.”
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 power of sin is the law.
Lufu lwalafuma kubwipishi, nabo bwipishi bwalafuma ku mulawo.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Nomba tulalumbunga Lesa latupanga ngofu shakukoma kupitila muli Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu!
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.
Neco, mobanse bame, kamwimanani ncili. Sebensani ncito ya Mwami cindi conse, pakwinga mucisheti ncito ya Mwami njemulenshinga nteyo yabulyo sobwe.
