1 Abakkolinso 15
1 Abooluganda, mbajjukiza Enjiri gye nababuulira era gye mwakkiriza era gye munywereddemu.
But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,
2 Mulokolebwa lwa Njiri eyo gye nababuulira, bwe muginywererako, naye bwe kitaba bwe kityo muba mwakkiririza bwereere.
by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings, ) unless indeed ye have believed in vain.
3 Kubanga nabategeeza ekigambo ekikulu ennyo nange kye nnaweebwa ekigamba nti Kristo yafa olw’ebibi byaffe, ng’Ebyawandiikibwa bwe bigamba,
For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 era nti yaziikibwa, n’azuukizibwa ku lunaku olwokusatu ng’Ebyawandiikibwa bwe bigamba,
and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
5 era nti yalabibwa Keefa n’oluvannyuma ekkumi n’ababiri.
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 Era yalabibwa abooluganda abasukka ebikumi ebitaano omulundi gumu era abamu ku abo bakyali balamu newaakubadde ng’abalala baafa.
Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.
7 Olwo n’alyoka alabikira Yakobo, n’oluvannyuma n’alabikira n’abatume bonna.
Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
8 Oluvannyuma lwa bonna n’alyoka alabikira nange, ng’omwana azaalibbwa nga musowole.
and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to me also.
9 Kubanga nze nsembayo mu batume, Era sisaanira na kuyitibwa mutume, kubanga nayigganya Ekkanisa ya Katonda.
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.
10 Naye olw’ekisa kya Katonda ndi nga bwe ndi kaakano, era ekisa Katonda kye yankwatirwa tekyafa bwereere. Kubanga nakola nnyo okusinga abalala bonna, naye si nze nakola wabula ekisa kya Katonda ekiri nange kye kyakola.
But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which [was] towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not I, but the grace of God which [was] with me.
11 Oba nze oba bo, be baakola ennyo ekyo si kikulu, ekikulu kye kino nti twababuulira Enjiri era nammwe ne mugikkiriza.
Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.
12 Kale obanga abantu bategeezebwa nti Kristo yazuukizibwa mu bafu lwaki abamu mu mmwe bagamba nti tewali kuzuukira kwa bafu?
Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among [the] dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead?
13 Kale obanga tewali kuzuukira kwa bafu ne Kristo teyazuukizibwa.
But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:
14 Era obanga Kristo teyazuukizibwa, bye tubategeeza tebiriimu, era n’okukkiriza kwammwe tekuliiko kye kugasa.
but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.
15 Ate era tuba ng’aboogera eby’obulimba ku Katonda, kubanga twakakasa nti Katonda yazuukiza Kristo. Naye teyamuzuukiza bwe kiba ng’abafu tebazuukizibwa.
And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed [those that are] dead are not raised.
16 Kale obanga abafu tebazuukizibwa, ne Kristo teyazuukizibwa.
For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;
17 Era obanga Kristo teyazuukizibwa okukkiriza kwammwe tekuliimu nsa, era mukyali mu bibi byammwe.
but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Era n’abo abaafa nga bakkiriza Kristo baazikirira.
Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Kale obanga essuubi lyaffe mu Kristo likoma mu bulamu buno bwokka, tuli bakusaasirwa nnyo okusinga abantu bonna.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.
20 Kyokka ddala Kristo yazuukizibwa mu bafu, era bye bibala ebibereberye eby’abo abaafa.
(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
21 Kuba ng’okufa bwe kwaleetebwa omuntu, era n’okuzuukira kw’abafu kwaleetebwa muntu.
For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.
22 Kuba ng’abantu bonna bwe baafa olwa Adamu, era bwe batyo bonna balifuulibwa abalamu olwa Kristo.
For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.
23 Kyokka buli omu mu luwalo lwe, Kristo ye yasooka era bw’alijja ababe ne baddako,
But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.
24 olwo enkomerero n’eryoka etuuka, Kristo n’akwasa Katonda Kitaawe obwakabaka; Kristo ng’amaze okuzikiriza obufuzi bwonna, n’obuyinza bwonna era n’amaanyi gonna.
Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him [who is] God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.
25 Kubanga Kristo agwanidde okufuga okutuusa bw’alissa abalabe be bonna wansi w’ebigere bye.
For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.
26 Omulabe we alisembayo okuzikirizibwa kwe Kufa.
[The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.
27 Kubanga yassa ebintu byonna wansi w’ebigere bye. Naye bw’agamba nti ebintu byonna biri wansi we, kitegeeza nti aggyeko oli ey’amusobozesa okufuga ebintu byonna.
For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, [it is] evident that [it is] except him who put all things in subjection to him.
28 Katonda bw’alimala okussa byonna mu buyinza bwa Kristo, olwo Kristo yennyini, Omwana we, n’alyoka afugibwa Katonda eyamuwa okufuga byonna. Era olwo Katonda n’alyoka afugira ddala byonna.
But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)
29 Kale obanga abafu tebazuukizibwa, abo ababatizibwa ku lw’abafu balikola batya? Era kale lwaki babatizibwa ku lwabwe?
Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?
30 Era ffe lwaki tuli mu kabi buli kaseera?
Why do we also endanger ourselves every hour?
31 Abooluganda, olw’okwenyumiriza kwe munninamu, era kwe nnina mu Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe, nkakasa nti nfa buli lunaku.
Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Kale obanga nze omuntu obuntu nalwana n’ensolo enkambwe mu Efeso, kingasa ki? Obanga abafu tebazuukizibwa, “Kale tulye tunywe kubanga enkya tuli ba kufa.”
If, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
33 Temulimbibwalimbibwanga, kubanga “emikwano emibi gyonoona empisa ennungi.”
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Mweddemu, mutambulirenga mu butuukirivu mulekeraawo okukola ebibi, kubanga abamu mu mmwe tebamanyi Katonda. Kino nkyogera kubakwasa nsonyi.
Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.
35 Naye omuntu ayinza okubuuza nti, “Abafu bazuukizibwa batya?” Era nti, mubiri gwa ngeri ki gwe bajja nagwo?
But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
36 Musirusiru ggwe! Ensigo gy’osiga temeruka nga tennafa.
Fool; what thou sowest is not quickened unless it die.
37 Era ensigo eyo gy’osiga eba mpeke buweke; so si ekirivaamu oba ya ŋŋaano, oba ya ngeri ndala.
And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:
38 Naye Katonda agiwa omubiri nga bw’ayagala, era buli ngeri ya nsigo agiwa omubiri gwayo.
and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.
39 Kubanga emibiri gyonna tegiba gya ngeri emu. Waliwo omubiri ogw’abantu, waliwo ogw’ensolo, waliwo ogw’ennyonyi, era waliwo n’ogw’ebyennyanja.
Every flesh [is] not the same flesh, but one [is] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another [flesh] of birds, and another of fishes.
40 Noolwekyo waliwo emibiri egy’omu ggulu, n’emibiri egy’omu nsi. Naye ekitiibwa ky’emibiri egy’omu ggulu kirala, era n’eky’egy’omu nsi kirala.
And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:
41 Waliwo ekitiibwa ky’enjuba, waliwo eky’omwezi, era waliwo ekitiibwa eky’emmunyeenye. Naye era n’emmunyeenye tezenkanankana mu kwaka kubanga buli munyeenye ya njawulo mu kwaka.
one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Era bwe kiri mu kuzuukira. Omubiri guziikibwa nga gwa kuvunda, ne guzuukizibwa nga si gwa kuvunda.
Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
43 Guziikibwa nga si gwa kitiibwa, naye ne guzuukizibwa nga gujjudde ekitiibwa. Guziikibwa nga munafu, naye guzuukizibwa nga gwa maanyi.
It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
44 Guziikibwa nga mubiri bubiri, naye guzuukizibwa nga mubiri gwa mwoyo. Kale obanga waliwo omubiri obubiri, era waliwo omubiri ogw’omwoyo,
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [one].
45 kyekyava kiwandiikibwa nti, “Adamu, omuntu eyasooka, yatondebwa ng’alina obulamu.” Kyokka Adamu ow’oluvannyuma ye Mwoyo aleeta obulamu.
Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
46 Naye eky’omwoyo si kye kyasooka, wabula eky’omubiri obubiri kye kyasooka, n’oluvannyuma eky’omwoyo ne kijja.
But that which is spiritual [was] not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
47 Omuntu eyasooka yava mu ttaka, yakolebwa mu nfuufu. Ye omuntu owookubiri yava mu ggulu.
the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
48 Ng’eyakolebwa mu nfuufu bw’ali, n’abo abaakolebwa mu nfuufu bwe bali.
Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].
49 Era nga bwe tufaanana oyo eyakolebwa mu nfuufu, era bwe tutyo bwe tulifaanana oyo eyava mu ggulu.
And as we have borne the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].
50 Abooluganda, kye ŋŋamba kye kino nti omubiri guno ogw’oku nsi, ogw’ennyama n’omusaayi, teguyinza kusikira bwakabaka bwa Katonda. Emibiri gyaffe egivunda tegisobola kuba gya lubeerera.
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
51 Naye leka mbabuulire ekyama: Si ffenna abalifa, naye eŋŋombe ey’enkomerero bw’erivuga ffenna tulifuusibwa
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 mu kaseera katono ng’okutemya kikowe. Kubanga eŋŋombe erivuga, n’abafu balizuukizibwa, nga tebakyaddayo kufa era ffenna tulifuusibwa.
in an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 Kubanga omubiri guno oguvunda gwa kufuuka ogutavunda, era omubiri guno ogufa gwa kufuuka ogutafa.
For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
54 Omubiri guno oguvunda bwe gulifuuka ogutavunda, ogufa ne gufuuka ogutafa, olwo Ekyawandiikibwa ne kiryoka kituukirira ekigamba nti, “Okufa kuwanguddwa.”
But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Obuyinza obulumya buva mu kibi, n’amaanyi g’ekibi gava mu mateeka.
Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;
57 Kyokka Katonda yeebazibwe atuwanguza ffe ku bwa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo.
but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Noolwekyo, baganda bange abaagalwa, mubenga banywevu era abatasagaasagana nga mweyongeranga bulijjo okukola omulimu gwa Mukama waffe, kubanga mumanyi nti okufuba kwammwe si kwa bwereere mu Mukama waffe.
So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in [the] Lord.
