1 Wakorintho 15

1 Leino nikhuvavula valukolo eilivangeil eilwunivalombeilile, eilwumwapulikhe nukhwima mu eilyo.

And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you also received, in which you also have stood,

2 Mulivangeili eilwu mupokhiwe, mungave mukhulibata na makha eilimenyu eilwunievalombeile umwe, humbe mwaliedeikhe vuvule.

through which you are also being saved, if you hold fast [to] the word—what I proclaimed as good news to you—unless you 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 I delivered to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Writings,

4 ukhukongana nuvusimbe akha syieliwa, nukhuta anchukhile eikhigono eikhyadatu.

and that He was buried, and that He has risen on the third day according to the Writings,

5 Nukhuta ambonekhile uKefa, na vala kumi nava veili.

and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve,

6 Puakhavavonekhela pu akhavavonekhela useikhi gumo avanu vuvingi avamia vahano napakyanya. Avingi mwavo vipitama impakha leino, vaninie mbeene vagonelile itulu.

afterward He appeared to above five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, and some also fell asleep;

7 Pu akhambonekhela uYakobo na vakongi vooni.

afterward He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8 Muvumaleilo wa ngooni, akhambonekhela une ndakhu mwana uvyaholiwe museikhe ugusngunogile.

And last of all—as to the untimely birth—He also appeared to me,

9 Ulwa khuva une niele deebe muvakongi. Saninogile ukhwilangiwa ikongi, pakhuva niagunkuvinche upelela gwa Nguluve.

for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Assembly 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.

and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] toward me did not come in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] with me;

11 Pu leino eingave nene ewo vuvene tulumbeiliela ewo hange tukhwideekha ewo.

whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

12 Leino eingave uKlisite alumbeilile nduvianchukhile ukhuhuma khuvunchukha puyielindakhikhi avange ndyumwe viita uvunchukha vusikhuli?

And if Christ is preached, that He has risen out of the dead, how [do] certain among you say that there is no resurrection of [the] dead?

13 Pu yeingave uvunchukha wavufwe vusikhuli, pu nayu Klisite sanchukhe.

And if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither has Christ risen;

14 Pu eingave uKliste sanchukhe pu ukhulumbeilela kweito sakhuli na khinu.

and if Christ has not risen, then our preaching [is] void, and your faith [is] also void,

15 Putu vonikhe ukhuta vatangeili va vudeesi uvikhunchova uNguluve twanchoveile vunge uNguluve anchusinche khwa Klisite vusanchukhile.

and we are also found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

16 Pu einave avafwile avafwile savinchusiwa uYeisu vope sanchusiwe.

for if dead persons do not rise, neither has Christ risen,

17 Pu eingave uKlisite sanchusiwe, ulwedeeko lweinyo luleivula khinu pumwiva mnchige mumbivi nchienyo.

and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins;

18 Puleino navala vala avuvafwile mwa Klisite vope vungamile.

then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ perished;

19 Eingave mbutamo uvu wene tuleinuvukifu wa seikhi ugwikhwincha mugati mwa Klisite avanu vooni, ufwe tulieva khuhegiwa ukhulutiila avanu vooni.

if we only have hope in Christ in this life, we are to be most pitied of all men.

20 Puleino uKlisite anchukhile ukhuhuma khuvufwe, uvu wuvu beeni uvutanchi wa vala avafwile.

And now, Christ has risen out of the dead—He became the first-fruits of those sleeping,

21 Ulwa khuva uvufwe wainchile ukhugende mumunu, pu ukhugendela mumunu khange vunchukha wa vala avafwile.

for since through man [is] death, also through Man [is] a resurrection of the dead,

22 Ulwakhuva einave ukhugendela mwa Adamu vooni vifwa, pu vulevule vooni viiva vwumi ukhugendela mwa Klisite.

for even as in Adam all die, so also in the 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.

and each in his proper order: Christ, a first-fruit, afterward those who are the Christ’s in His coming,

24 Pu yawiva vumaleilo pala upu uKlisite upuyakhiva iveikha uvuvaha uvu nkuludeva khwa Nguluve uDaada.

then—the end, when He may deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He may have made all rule useless, and all authority and power.

25 Ekhulongu ndeyi yayiva pala upuyakhiva iduncha uvuvaha wooni nuvulongonchi wooni na makha.

For it is necessary for Him to reign until He may have put all the 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 is done away with—death.

27 Undugu uvakhuvumaleilo ukhunangiwa vei vufwe. Ulwa khuva “Aveikhile khila khinu pasi pa malunde ga mwene.

For He put all things under His feet, and when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who subjected all things to 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 may be subjected to Him, then also the Son Himself will be subject to Him, who subjected to Him all things, that God may be the all in all.

29 Pu ewo leino yavigahandakhikhi vala vavo vonchiwe savuli ya vafwile? Eingave avafwile savinchusiwa lyooni, pukhikhi leino vikhwonchiwa savuli ya veene?

Seeing what will they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they also immersed for the dead?

30 Pu khikhi tuleimbupala useikhe gyooni?

Why do we also stand in peril every hour?

31 Valukolo ukhukongana nukhwiginia khwango savuli yeinyo mwa Klisite uNtwa veito, nikhuva vula ukhuta nifwa khila linchuva.

I die every day, by the glorying of you that I have 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 with wild beasts in Ephesus after the manner of a man, what [is] the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!

33 Mulekhe ukhusyoviwa: Ifipuga ifivivi finanga ulugeendo wunonu.

Do not be led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;

34 muve nikhigelelo mtamage muwayielweli mulekhe ukhugendelela mumbutula nogwa, ulwakhuva vaninie ndyumwe muleivanchila vumanyi wa Nguluve. Ninchova ewo savuli ya soni nchienyo.

wake up, as is right, and do not sin; for some have an ignorance of God; I say [it] to you for shame.

35 Pu leino umunu uyunge ya iita, “Pu yayiva ndakhikhi avafwile yavinchusiwa? Na veene yavikhwincha yavikhwincha nu mbeili uyuleindakhikhi?”

But someone will say, “How do the dead rise?”

36 Uveve ulwipelwa fincho khila eikhuvyalile sakhilengu la ukhukula khingave sakhifwile.

Unwise! You—what you sow is not quickened except it may die;

37 Pu khila eikhwuvuvyaala sambeili gugwa yagwiva, pu lein yu mbeyu yeiyo yeihe lwikhe, yeivahile ukhuva nganu ewo khinu khinge.

and that which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of someone of the others,

38 Pu uNguluve uyiepa umbeili ndumwinogelwa, na mumbeyu eiyavenchaga umbeili gwa mwene yuywa.

and God gives a body to it according as He willed, and its proper body to each of the seeds.

39 Eimiveili gyooni sagihwanine. Puleino khuleimbeili gumo ugwa vanu nu mbeili ugunge gwa fidege nu gunge gwa somba.

All flesh [is] not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds;

40 Hange ghulimiveile gya khukyanya ni miveilo gya nkilunga. Pu leino uvudwaadwa wa miveili gya khukyanya vulikhinu khimo nu vudwaadwa wa nkilunga vuli vunge.

and [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;

41 Khulivudwaadwa vumo uwa linchuva, nuvudwaadwa uvunge uwamwenchi, nuvudwaadwa uvunge uwanondwe ulwa khuva einondwe yiemo sayiehwanine ni yienge mbudwaadwa.

one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star differs from star in glory.

42 Puleino wuvuleiwo ewo uvunchukha wa vufwe. Eikhivyaliwe khinangikha, pu khikhyo khimela sakhinangikha.

So also [is] the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;

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; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;

45 Pueyo hange yiesimbiwe, “Umunu utengunchi u Adamu apeliwe nu mepo uviitama.” U Adamu uvyamalile apeliwe vimepo uveiihencha uwumi.

so also it has been written: “The first man Adam became a living creature,” the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,

46 Pu leino umunu uva mepo sainche tasi pu ula uvakhivumbukhu viainchile pwakhincha uvamepo.

but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterward that which [is] spiritual.

47 Umunu utengunchi ahumile nkilunga, apeliwe nielifu. Umunu uvyakongile ahumile khukyanya.

The first man [is] out of the earth—earthly; the second Man [is] the LORD out of Heaven;

48 Nduvu ula uvyapeliwe nu ng'aanga vuvaliewo avapeliwe nu ng'aanga, nduvu aleivyo ula uva khukyanya vuvaleiwo ewo vala avakhukyanya.

as [is] the earthly, such [are] also the earthly; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;

49 Ndu mutugegile eikhihwani khya ng'anga, yatwigega khange eikhwani khya munu uvakhukyanya.

and according as we bore the image of the earthly, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Leino nikhuvavula valukolo lwango ukhuta umbeili nukisa safiha la uludeeva lwa Nguluve, yieve uvunangi ukhuhala ukhusita khunanga.

And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the corruption inherit the incorruption.

51 Pulola! Nikhuvuvula umwe ifya khuvatitu, satukhafwe twevooni putweivooni yatukhwandukha.

Behold, I tell you a secret: we indeed 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 a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed;

53 Ulwa khuva umbeilei ugu ugunangikha vugufwalile ukhusita khunangikha, nugu ugwa khufwa yufwalage ukhusita khufwa.

for it is necessary for this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;

54 Puleino ugu umbeile ugwakhufwa yakhiva gufwalile ukhusita khufwa puyalikhwincha eilimenyu eileisimbiwe ukhuta uvufwe vuyaganikhe nuvuluti.”

and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the word that has been written: “Death was swallowed up—to victory;

55 “'Khuleindakhu uve veivufwe uvuluti vwakho? Khulendakhu uve vei vufwe uluvavo lwakho?” (Hadēs g86)

Where, O Death, your sting? Where, O Death [[or Hades]], your victory?” (Hadēs g86)

56 Uluvavo lwa vufwe vuvivi na makha ga vuvivi nchu ndageilo.

And the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the Law;

57 Puleino tusana khwa Nguluve uveikhutupa ufwe uvuluti ukhugendela mwa Yeisu Klisite!

and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving 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.

so that, my beloved brothers, become steadfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the LORD at all times, knowing that your labor in the LORD is not vain.
