1 Va Korinte 15
1 Bakwetu, nimi zibisa kuti evengeli ini ba mi wambili imuba tambuli ni ku zimana.
Moreouer brethren, I declare vnto you the Gospel, which I preached vnto you, which ye haue also receiued, and wherein ye continue,
2 Kayo evangeli njimi haza heba muibika kakuti niba imhi, heba nimu wondisa che ziho manzwi aniba kutazi kwenu, chikuna bulyo intumelo yenu kaina intuso.
And whereby ye are saued, if ye keepe in memorie, after what maner I preached it vnto you, except ye haue beleeued in vaine.
3 Kakuti, matangilo, zimwi za butokwa zini ba tambuli: Kuti Jesu aba tu fwili bakeñicha zibi zetu, kakuya cha mañolo,
For first of all, I deliuered vnto you that which I receiued, how that Christ died for our sinnes, according to the Scriptures,
4 kuti aba zikwa, imi aba buswa che zuba lya butatu cha kuya cha mañolo.
And that he was buried, and that he arose the third day, according to the Scriptures,
5 Mukuti aba boneki kwa Cefasi, niku balutwana bena ikumi niyenke,
And that he was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue.
6 Cwale aba bonahali ku chicaba china myanda yilikana iyanza cheyo inako. Bamwi kubali basi hala, bamwi cibaba lali.
After that, he was seene of more then fiue hudreth brethren at once: whereof many remaine vnto this present, and some also are asleepe.
7 Cwale cha libonahaza kwa James, mi ni kuba Apositola.
After that, he was seene of Iames: then of all the Apostles.
8 Ku ma manimani, cha libonahaza kwangu, sina mwana yaba zalwa che nako ifosahele.
And last of all he was seene also of me, as of one borne out of due time.
9 Njeme nimunini ku ba Apositola mi kani lukeli ku sumpwa Muapositola, kakuli niba nyandisi ikeleke ye Ireeza.
For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not meete to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
10 Kono ka chisemo che Ireeza njeme chili icho, mi chisemo chakwe kwangu kana niba chi hewa kusena intuso. Mukuti, niba sebezi cheziho ku hita bamwi. imi kana ibali njeme. Kono chisemo che Ireeza china kwangu.
But by the grace of God, I am that I am: and his grace which is in me, was not in vaine: but I laboured more aboundantly then they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.
11 Heba ime kapa abo chitu kutaza niku zumina.
Wherefore, whether it were I, or they, so we preach, and so haue ye beleeued.
12 Linu ku lutwa kuti krisite aba buki fubafu, cwale cinzi bamwi haba kanana kuti kakwina kubuswa ku bafu?
Now if it be preached, that Christ is risen from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Kono heba kakwina kubuswa kubafu, cwale nji kuti ni Jesu kana aba buki kubafu,
For if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 Imi heba Jesu kana aba buki, cwale inkutazo zetu kazina intuso. mi ni ntumelo yenu kaina intuso.
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vaine, and your faith is also vaine.
15 Imi tu wanika kuti tu mpanki za mapa kuamana ni Ireeza. Mukuti tuba paki kuti Ireeza aba busi Jesu, kanti kana aba mubusi,
And we are found also false witnesses of God: for we haue testified of God, that he hath raised vp Christ: whome he hath not raised vp, if so be the dead be not raised.
16 Heba kuti bafu kena babuswa, mini Jesu kana aba buswa kubafu.
For if the dead be not raised, then is Christ not raised.
17 Kambe Jesu kana aba buswa, intumelo yenu kaina intuso, imi musina mucibi.
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine: ye are yet in your sinnes.
18 Abo baba fwi ni Jesu baba fwilili,
And so they which are a sleepe in Christ, are perished.
19 Haiba tusepete jesu mubuhalo bwetu bu mana, tumaibite ku hita bonse ba fwile.
If in this life onely wee haue hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.
20 Kono krisite aba buswa kuba fwile ceyo inako, nji chichelo che ntazi kuba fwile.
But nowe is Christ risen from the dead, and was made the first fruites of them that slept.
21 Sina ifu hali bezi cha muntu, imi ka muntu kubuswa kubezi chefu.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Kono cha Adama bonse baba fwi, mi hape bonse ka bahale.
For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue,
23 Muntu ni muntu ka buke che nako yakwe: Kirisite, chililo che ntanzi, imi nabo ba wanika kwa Krisite kabeze ba buswe hete na keze.
But euery man in his owne order: the first fruites is Christ, afterward, they that are of Christ, at his comming shall rise againe.
24 Imi kaibe nji mamanimani, Krisite hete na tambike mubuso kwe Ireeza Tayo. Njinako yete na manise milao, mubuso ne nguzu,
Then shalbe the end, when he hath deliuered vp the kingdome to God, euen the Father, when he hath put downe all rule, and all authoritie and power.
25 Kono u swanela ku busa kuhita zila zakwe chiza ba mwi konde lya matende akwe.
For he must reigne till hee hath put all his enemies vnder his feete.
26 Chila cha mamanimani ku ku maniswa ifu.
The last enemie that shalbe destroyed, is death.
27 Kono,”Iye cha bika zintu zonse mwi konde lya matende akwe”, Kono hachi wamba kuti” aba biki zintu zonse”, imi zintu zonse ziba bikwa mwi konde lyakwe, ku zuweka iye ka balwa mwa teni.
For he hath put downe all things vnder his feete. (And when he saith that all things are subdued to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put downe all things vnder him.)
28 Imi zintu zonse chiza bikwa mwi konde lyakwe, imi ni mwana kabikwe mu mata akwe. Ilikuti Ireeza abe wa zintu zonse kubantu bonse.
And when all things shalbe subdued vnto him, then shall the Sonne also himselfe be subiect vnto him, that did subdue all things vnder him, that God may be all in all.
29 Kapa ka tende nji abo ba ba kolobezwa kubafu? Heba bafu kete ni ba buswe, heba bafu kaba buki chi haba kolobezwa?
Els what shall they doe which are baptized for dead? if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for dead?
30 Imi chinzi neswe hatu hala mubukabo inako yonse?
Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre?
31 Ni wamba buniti bakwetu, sina hanina ibaka lya kulitemba kenu kwa Jesu Krisite Simwine wetu, nicho, kuti nina mwi fu izuba ne zuba,
By your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly.
32 Chinzi cini wana ku muntu, heba kuti niba lwi ni zibatana mwa Efese kamukwa wa bantu fela, heba kuti bafu kete niba buke? Cwale tulye niku nywa, kakuti lye izona katufwe.
If I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after ye maner of men, what aduantageth it me, if the dead be not raised vp? let vs eate and drinke: for to morowe we shall die.
33 Kanji mulicengi, kuti itwayelano imbi zi sinya mukwa mulotu,
Be not deceiued: euill speakings corrupt good maners.
34 Mulilekule! Mi muhale cha ku luka! Imi kanji mutendi chibi. sina bamwi kwenu habasena inzibo ye Ireeza. Nimi wambila izo kuti muswabe.
Awake to liue righteously, and sinne not: for some haue not ye knowledge of God, I speake this to your shame.
35 Kono zumwi mwa ka wambe, “Bafu babuswa ka mubili wina buti?
But some man will say, Howe are the dead raised vp? and with what body come they foorth?
36 Kubula ingana kwako! Ili kuli cho byala kachi woli ku mena konji hacifwa.
O foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it die.
37 Imi cho byala kanji wona mubili wete ube, kono u byala imbuto isa zwete. Iwola kwiza ka buloto kapa chimwi chintu.
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shalbe, but bare corne as it falleth, of wheat, or of some other.
38 Kono Ireeza kahe mubili kaku keta, mi ke mbuto ni mbuto ka mubili wayo,
But God giueth it a body at his pleasure, euen to euery seede his owne body,
39 Inyama zonse kazi swani, kono inyama ya bantu ingi, ni imwi nyama ya zinyolozi, imwi nyama ya zizuni, imwi inyama yenswi.
All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beastes, and another of fishes, and another of birdes.
40 Hape kwina mibili ya kwi wulu, ne mibili ya hansi. Kono ikanya yo mubili wo kwi wulu ungi, ni kanya ya mubili wa hansi ingi.
There are also heauenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but the glorie of the heauenly is one, and the glorie of the earthly is another.
41 Kwina ikanya yonke ye zuba, ni kanya ya mwezi, ni kanya ye nkani. Kono inkani ne nkani i chinchana kwi kanya.
There is another glorie of the sunne, and another glorie of the moone, and another glorie of the starres: for one starre differeth from another starre in glorie.
42 Niku buka kwa bafu kakube bulyo. Mubili u byalwa ni usa boli, imi kau buke nosa boli, imbuto isana iba byalwa hande kai bukile mwi kanya.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The bodie is sowen in corruption, and is raysed in incorruption.
43 Kai byalwe ni ifokwele; mi kaibuke ne nguzu.
It is sowen in dishonour, and is raysed in glory: it is sowen in weakenesse, and is raysed in power.
44 Iba byalwa ka mubili wina bulyo; mi kau buke mumubili wa luhuho. Heba kwina mubili bulyo, mi kwina mubili wa luhuho.
It is sowen a naturall body, and is raysed a spirituall body: there is a naturall body, and there is a spirituall body.
45 Imi kuñoletwe kuti, “Mukwame we ntanzi Adama aba bi mubili u hala. Adama wa mamanimani aba hi luhuho lwa buhalo.
As it is also written, The first man Adam was made a liuing soule: and the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit.
46 Kono luhuho kena luba kezi lwe ntanzi kono che nyama, chichilila che nyama.
Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall.
47 Mukwame we ntanzi wa hansi, aba bumbwa he longo. Mukwame wa bubeli uzwa kwi wulu.
The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man is the Lord from heauen.
48 Mwe kalile wa hansi, ni bahansi mube kalile. Mi mwe kalile we kwiwulu, niba kwiwulu mube kalile.
As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly.
49 Sina hatu zabele chiswaniso che longo, mutu zabale bulyo ni chiswaniso ca kwiwulu.
And as we haue borne the image of the earthly, so shall we beare the image of the heauenly.
50 Linu ni cho kuti, bakwetu, malaha ni nyama kazi woli ku muna mubuso we Ireeza. Mi chi bola kachi woli ku muna chisa boli.
This say I, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God, neither doeth corruption inherite incorruption.
51 Mubone nimi wambila indaba yiba patitwe: Tubonse kete ni tufwe, kono tubonse katu sanduke.
Behold, I shewe you a secret thing, We shall not all sleepe, but we shall all be changed,
52 Tubonse katu sanduke chaku koba kwe liinso, che mpeta ya mamanimani. Impeta kazi lile, mi bafwile kaba buswe ku bafu.
In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shalbe raysed vp incorruptible, and we shalbe changed.
53 Mi chi bola ci zwate kusa bola, mi cifwa chi zwate kusa fwa.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortall must put on immortalitie.
54 Chi bola keyo inako muchi zwate chisa boli, mi chifwa chi zwate kusafwa, mi kaku tendahale kenzwi ku ñoletwe kuti, imi ifu liba minwa niku shila.
So when this corruptible hath put on incorruption, and this mortall hath put on immortalitie, then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swallowed vp into victorie.
O death where is thy sting? O graue where is thy victorie? (Hadēs g86)
56 Chihaiso chefu chibi, mi inguzu ze chibi mulao.
The sting of death is sinne: and ye strength of sinne is the Lawe.
57 Kono tumela kwe Ireeza yaba tuhi ku tula kwa Simwine Jesu Krisite!
But thankes be vnto God, which hath giuen vs victorie through our Lord Iesus Christ.
58 Cwale bakwetu, mukole kanji munyanganiswa. Mi mukole mumisebezi ya Simwine, ni mwizi kuti misebezi yenu kwa Simwine ina intuso.
Therefore my beloued brethren, be ye stedfast, vnmoueable, aboundant alwayes in the worke of the Lord, forasmuch as ye knowe that your labour is not in vaine in the Lord.
