1 Wakorintho 15
1 Leino nikhuvavula valukolo eilivangeil eilwunivalombeilile, eilwumwapulikhe nukhwima mu eilyo.
Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.
2 Mulivangeili eilwu mupokhiwe, mungave mukhulibata na makha eilimenyu eilwunievalombeile umwe, humbe mwaliedeikhe vuvule.
By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 Nduvuyale ukhuhuma khuvutonguleilo umunia lwupeilile eilivangeili nukhulievekha mbulongolo nikhaleigega khulwumwe ndumulevelile, ukhuta ukhu kongana nuvusimbe uKlisite afwile savuli ya mbivi nchieto,
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 ukhukongana nuvusimbe akha syieliwa, nukhuta anchukhile eikhigono eikhyadatu.
that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 Nukhuta ambonekhile uKefa, na vala kumi nava veili.
and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.
6 Puakhavavonekhela pu akhavavonekhela useikhi gumo avanu vuvingi avamia vahano napakyanya. Avingi mwavo vipitama impakha leino, vaninie mbeene vagonelile itulu.
After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
7 Pu akhambonekhela uYakobo na vakongi vooni.
Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
8 Muvumaleilo wa ngooni, akhambonekhela une ndakhu mwana uvyaholiwe museikhe ugusngunogile.
And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
9 Ulwa khuva une niele deebe muvakongi. Saninogile ukhwilangiwa ikongi, pakhuva niagunkuvinche upelela gwa Nguluve.
For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Muluhungu lwa Nguluve pyunile nduvunileiwo, nu luhungu lwa mwene khulyune sayale vuvule. Puleino neilikhutiga ukhuluteila vooni saniale nene luhungu lwa Nguluve lulwa luleimgati ndyune.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
11 Pu leino eingave nene ewo vuvene tulumbeiliela ewo hange tukhwideekha ewo.
Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
12 Leino eingave uKlisite alumbeilile nduvianchukhile ukhuhuma khuvunchukha puyielindakhikhi avange ndyumwe viita uvunchukha vusikhuli?
But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Pu yeingave uvunchukha wavufwe vusikhuli, pu nayu Klisite sanchukhe.
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
14 Pu eingave uKliste sanchukhe pu ukhulumbeilela kweito sakhuli na khinu.
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
15 Putu vonikhe ukhuta vatangeili va vudeesi uvikhunchova uNguluve twanchoveile vunge uNguluve anchusinche khwa Klisite vusanchukhile.
In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.
16 Pu einave avafwile avafwile savinchusiwa uYeisu vope sanchusiwe.
For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
17 Pu eingave uKlisite sanchusiwe, ulwedeeko lweinyo luleivula khinu pumwiva mnchige mumbivi nchienyo.
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
18 Puleino navala vala avuvafwile mwa Klisite vope vungamile.
Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Eingave mbutamo uvu wene tuleinuvukifu wa seikhi ugwikhwincha mugati mwa Klisite avanu vooni, ufwe tulieva khuhegiwa ukhulutiila avanu vooni.
If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
20 Puleino uKlisite anchukhile ukhuhuma khuvufwe, uvu wuvu beeni uvutanchi wa vala avafwile.
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 Ulwa khuva uvufwe wainchile ukhugende mumunu, pu ukhugendela mumunu khange vunchukha wa vala avafwile.
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
22 Ulwakhuva einave ukhugendela mwa Adamu vooni vifwa, pu vulevule vooni viiva vwumi ukhugendela mwa Klisite.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
23 Ulwa khuva khila munu mumasage ga Klisite, vubeeni uvutanchi, pu leino vala vavo va Klisite yavipoliwa vuumi useikhe ugwa khwincha kwa mwene.
But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
24 Pu yawiva vumaleilo pala upu uKlisite upuyakhiva iveikha uvuvaha uvu nkuludeva khwa Nguluve uDaada.
Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.
25 Ekhulongu ndeyi yayiva pala upuyakhiva iduncha uvuvaha wooni nuvulongonchi wooni na makha.
For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
26 Ulwa khuva lusutu aveindongonchi imbaha impakha yakhiva ikhuvaveikha avalugu va mwene vooni pasi pa lunde ga mwene.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
27 Undugu uvakhuvumaleilo ukhunangiwa vei vufwe. Ulwa khuva “Aveikhile khila khinu pasi pa malunde ga mwene.
For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.
28 Pu yakhiva ifinu fiveikhiwe pasi pamwene pu nayumwana yu mwene ayiveikhiwa pasi pamwene uvyafiveikhile ifinu fyooni pasi pamwene. Puyayiva ewo vimbaha khu fyooni.
And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.
29 Pu ewo leino yavigahandakhikhi vala vavo vonchiwe savuli ya vafwile? Eingave avafwile savinchusiwa lyooni, pukhikhi leino vikhwonchiwa savuli ya veene?
If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
30 Pu khikhi tuleimbupala useikhe gyooni?
And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
31 Valukolo ukhukongana nukhwiginia khwango savuli yeinyo mwa Klisite uNtwa veito, nikhuva vula ukhuta nifwa khila linchuva.
I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Puneilageliwa khiikhi khuvanu, neingave nielwile nifikanu ifikali ukhwa khu Efeso, vangave avafwile savinchusiwa? “Puleikha humbe tulye nukhunywa ulwa khuva khilavo twifwa.
If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 Mulekhe ukhusyoviwa: Ifipuga ifivivi finanga ulugeendo wunonu.
Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
34 muve nikhigelelo mtamage muwayielweli mulekhe ukhugendelela mumbutula nogwa, ulwakhuva vaninie ndyumwe muleivanchila vumanyi wa Nguluve. Ninchova ewo savuli ya soni nchienyo.
Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
35 Pu leino umunu uyunge ya iita, “Pu yayiva ndakhikhi avafwile yavinchusiwa? Na veene yavikhwincha yavikhwincha nu mbeili uyuleindakhikhi?”
But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
36 Uveve ulwipelwa fincho khila eikhuvyalile sakhilengu la ukhukula khingave sakhifwile.
You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37 Pu khila eikhwuvuvyaala sambeili gugwa yagwiva, pu lein yu mbeyu yeiyo yeihe lwikhe, yeivahile ukhuva nganu ewo khinu khinge.
And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
38 Pu uNguluve uyiepa umbeili ndumwinogelwa, na mumbeyu eiyavenchaga umbeili gwa mwene yuywa.
But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
39 Eimiveili gyooni sagihwanine. Puleino khuleimbeili gumo ugwa vanu nu mbeili ugunge gwa fidege nu gunge gwa somba.
Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
40 Hange ghulimiveile gya khukyanya ni miveilo gya nkilunga. Pu leino uvudwaadwa wa miveili gya khukyanya vulikhinu khimo nu vudwaadwa wa nkilunga vuli vunge.
There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.
41 Khulivudwaadwa vumo uwa linchuva, nuvudwaadwa uvunge uwamwenchi, nuvudwaadwa uvunge uwanondwe ulwa khuva einondwe yiemo sayiehwanine ni yienge mbudwaadwa.
The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42 Puleino wuvuleiwo ewo uvunchukha wa vufwe. Eikhivyaliwe khinangikha, pu khikhyo khimela sakhinangikha.
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.
43 Khivyaliwe mbuvombeili uvunchoveele, khinkunchiwa mbudwaadwa.
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 Khivyaliwe mbulegefu khimenchiwa mumakha. Khivaliwe mumbeili gwa khivumbukhu, khinchusiwa mumbeili gwa khivumbukhu pukhulimbeili gwa mepongyoope.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45 Pueyo hange yiesimbiwe, “Umunu utengunchi u Adamu apeliwe nu mepo uviitama.” U Adamu uvyamalile apeliwe vimepo uveiihencha uwumi.
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
46 Pu leino umunu uva mepo sainche tasi pu ula uvakhivumbukhu viainchile pwakhincha uvamepo.
The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
47 Umunu utengunchi ahumile nkilunga, apeliwe nielifu. Umunu uvyakongile ahumile khukyanya.
The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
48 Nduvu ula uvyapeliwe nu ng'aanga vuvaliewo avapeliwe nu ng'aanga, nduvu aleivyo ula uva khukyanya vuvaleiwo ewo vala avakhukyanya.
As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
49 Ndu mutugegile eikhihwani khya ng'anga, yatwigega khange eikhwani khya munu uvakhukyanya.
And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
50 Leino nikhuvavula valukolo lwango ukhuta umbeili nukisa safiha la uludeeva lwa Nguluve, yieve uvunangi ukhuhala ukhusita khunanga.
Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
51 Pulola! Nikhuvuvula umwe ifya khuvatitu, satukhafwe twevooni putweivooni yatukhwandukha.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
52 Khimbeivimbeivi puyatukhwandukha pakheseikhi akhadebe vuvule, yukhiva yikuta eingalape eiya khunepo. Pu eingalape vuyikuta useikhi ugwa khunepo, ulwa khuva avafwile valanchukhaga, pasitakhuvola khange, pu nayufwe twandukhe.
in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53 Ulwa khuva umbeilei ugu ugunangikha vugufwalile ukhusita khunangikha, nugu ugwa khufwa yufwalage ukhusita khufwa.
For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
54 Puleino ugu umbeile ugwakhufwa yakhiva gufwalile ukhusita khufwa puyalikhwincha eilimenyu eileisimbiwe ukhuta uvufwe vuyaganikhe nuvuluti.”
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
55 “'Khuleindakhu uve veivufwe uvuluti vwakho? Khulendakhu uve vei vufwe uluvavo lwakho?” (Hadēs g86)
“Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Uluvavo lwa vufwe vuvivi na makha ga vuvivi nchu ndageilo.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 Puleino tusana khwa Nguluve uveikhutupa ufwe uvuluti ukhugendela mwa Yeisu Klisite!
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
58 Pu leino vagane valukolo lwango mwikanganchage, mulekhe ukhudepanikha, mukhavombage fincho eimbombo ya Ntwa ifigono fyooni, ulwa khuva mulumanyile ukhuta eimbombo yeinyo khu Ntwa saya vuvule yeilinakha hombo.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
