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,
Naizvozvo, hama, ndinokuzivisai evhangeri yandakakuparidzirai, yamagamuchirawo, neyamumire mairi;
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
uye yamunoponeswawo nayo, kana muchibatisisa inzwi reevhangeri randakaparidza kwamuri, kunze kwekuti makatenda pasina.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Nokuti ndakakumikidza kwamuri pakutanga izvo zvandakagamuchirawo, kuti Kristu wakafira zvivi zvedu, zvichienderana nemagwaro;
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
uye kuti wakavigwa, uye kuti wakamutswa nezuva retatu, zvichienderana nemagwaro;
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
uye kuti wakaonekwa kuna Kefasi, pashure kune vanegumi nevaviri;
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
shure kweizvozvo wakaonekwa kuhama dzinopfuura mazana mashanu nguva imwe, vazhinji vavo vachiripo kusvikira ikozvino, asi vamwewo varara;
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
shure kweizvozvo wakaonekwa kuna Jakobho; pashure kuvaapositori vese.
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
Uye pakupedzisira kwevese akaonekwa neniwo, sekune wakazvarwa nguva isina kufanira.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
Nokuti ini ndiri mudikisa wevaapositori, handifaniri kunzi muapositori, nokuti ndakashusha kereke yaMwari.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Asi nenyasha dzaMwari ndiri zvandiri, uye nyasha dzake dziri pandiri hadzina kuva pasina; asi ndakabata zvikuru kupfuura vese; zvakadaro handisi ini, asi nyasha dzaMwari dzineni.
11 Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
Naizvozvo, kana ndiri ini kana ivo, saizvozvo tinoparidza uye saizvozvo makatenda.
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?
Zvino kana Kristu achiparidzwa kuti wakamutswa kubva kuvakafa, vamwe pakati penyu vanoreva sei kuti hakuna kumuka kwevakafa?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
Asi dai pasina kumuka kwevakafa, naKristu haana kumutswa;
14 If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
uye kana Kristu asina kumutswa, naizvozvo kuparidza kwedu hakuna maturo, nerutendo rwenyuwo harwuna maturo.
15 Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.
Nesuwo tinowanikwa tiri zvapupu zvaMwari zvenhema, nokuti takapupura zvaMwari kuti wakamutsa Kristu iye waasina kumutsa, kana kuri kuti vakafa havamutswi.
16 For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.
Nokuti dai vakafa vasingamutswi, Kristu haanawo kumutswa;
17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
uye dai Kristu asina kumutswa, rutendo rwenyu haruna maturo; muchiri muzvivi zvenyu.
18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Naizvozvo nevarere muna Kristu vaparara.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
Dai muupenyu huno tine tariro muna Kristu chete, tinonzwisa tsitsi kukunda vanhu vese.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
Asi ikozvinowo Kristu wakamutswa kubva kuvakafa, akava chibereko chekutanga chevarere.
21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
Nokuti sezvo nemunhu rufu rwakauya, kumuka kwevakafawo kwakauya nemunhu.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
Nokuti vese muna Adhamu sezvavanofa, saizvozvowo vese muna Kristu vachararamiswa.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.
Asi umwe neumwe padzoro rake; Kristu chibereko chekutanga, tevere avo vari vaKristu pakuuya kwake,
24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
kozouya kuguma, paachazokumikidza umambo kuna Mwari, ivo Baba, paachaparadza kutonga kwese neushe hwese nesimba.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
Nokuti anofanira iye kutonga, kusvikira aisa vese vavengi pasi petsoka dzake.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
Muvengi wekupedzisira uchaparadzwa ndirwo rufu.
27 For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
Nokuti wakaisa zvinhu zvese pasi petsoka dzake. Asi kana achiti zvinhu zvese zvakaiswa pasi pake, zviri pachena kuti ari kunze wakaisa zvinhu zvese pasi pake.
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.
Zvino kana zvinhu zvese zvaiswa pasi pake, ipapo Mwanakomanawo amene achaiswa pasi paiye wakaisa zvese pasi pake, kuti Mwari ave zvese mune zvese.
29 Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?
Ko, vanobhabhatidzirwa vakafa vachaita sei kana vakafa vasingatongomutswi? Vakagobhabhatidzirwa vakafa nemhaka yei?
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
Nemhaka yei nesu tiri panjodzi awa rega-rega?
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Ndinofa zuva nezuva, ndinopika nokuzvikudza pamusoro penyu kwandinako muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.
32 If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
Kana ndakarwa nenzira yevanhu nezvikara paEfeso, zvinondibatsirei, kana vakafa vasingamutswi? Ngatidye nekunwa, nokuti mangwana tinofa.
33 Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
Musanyengerwa; kushamwaridzana nevakaipa kunoodza tsika dzakanaka.
34 Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
Pengenukai nenzira yekururama uye musatadza, nokuti vamwe vane kusaziva Mwari; ndinotaura kuti muve nenyadzi.
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
Asi umwe achati: Vakafa vanomutswa sei? Uye vanouya nemuviri wakaita sei?
36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
Dununu, icho chaunodzvara iwe hachiitwi chipenyu kunze kwekuti chafa;
37 That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
uye icho chaunodzvara, haudzvari muviri uchavapo, asi tsanga isina chinhu, kana yezviyo kana yezvimwe;
38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
asi Mwari anoipa muviri paanoda napo, nekumbeu imwe neimwe muviri wayo pachayo.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
Nyama yese haisi nyama imwe; asi imwe inyama yevanhu, imwewo inyama yemhuka, imwewo yehove, imwewo yeshiri.
40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
Kune miviriwo yekudenga, nemiviri yenyika; asi kubwinya kweyekudenga ndekumwe, asi kweyenyika ndekumwe.
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.
Kumwe kubwinya ndekwezuva, nekumwe kubwinya ndekwemwedzi, uye kumwe kubwinya ndekwenyeredzi, nokuti nyeredzi inosiyana neimwe nyeredzi pakubwinya.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
Kwakadarowo kumuka kwevakafa. Kunodzvarwa mukuora, kunomutswa mukusaora;
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
kunodzvarwa mukuzvidzwa, kunomutswa mukubwinya; kunodzvarwa muutera, kunomutswa musimba.
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.
Kunodzvarwa kuri muviri wechisikirwo, kunomutswa kuri muviri wemweya. Kune muviri wechisikirwo, uye kune muviri wemweya.
45 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Zvakanyorwawo saizvozvo zvichinzi: Munhu wekutanga Adhamu wakaitwa munhu anorarama; Adhamu wekupedzisira mweya unoraramisa.
46 However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
Asi zvinotanga hazvisi zvemweya asi zvechisikirwo; tevere zvemweya.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
Munhu wekutanga wakabva panyika, ndewevhu; munhu wechipiri ndiIshe anobva kudenga.
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.
Sewevhu, vakadarowo avo vevhu; uye sewekudenga, vakadarowo vekudenga.
49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
Uye sezvatakatakura chimiro chewevhu, tichatakurawo chimiro chewekudenga.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
Zvino ndinoreva izvi, hama, kuti nyama neropa hazvingagoni kugara nhaka yeushe hwaMwari; nokuora hakungagari nhaka yekusaora.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
Tarirai, ndinokuudzai chakavanzika: Hatingavati tese, asi tichashandurwa tese;
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.
nenguva diki-diki, mukuhwaira kweziso, pahwamanda yekupedzisira; nokuti hwamanda icharira, uye vakafa vachamutswa mukusaora, nesu tichashandurwa.
53 For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Nokuti ichi chinoora chinofanira kupfeka kusaora, neichi chinofa chipfeke kusafa.
54 But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Zvino kana ichi chinoora chapfeka kusaora, neichi chinofa chapfeka kusafa, ipapo kuchaitika shoko rakanyorwa rinoti: Rufu rwakamedzwa mukukunda.
Iwe rufu, rumborera rwako rwuripi? Iwe guva, kukunda kwako kuripi? (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Rumborera rwerufu chivi, nesimba rechivi murairo.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Zvino ngaavongwe Mwari anotipa kukunda naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
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.
Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, simbai, musingazungunuswi, nguva dzese muchiwedzerwa pabasa raIshe muchiziva kuti kubata kwenyu hakusi pasina muna Ishe.
