1 Abakkolinso 15
1 Abooluganda, mbajjukiza Enjiri gye nababuulira era gye mwakkiriza era gye munywereddemu.
And I make known to you, my brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, and which ye received, and in which ye stand,
2 Mulokolebwa lwa Njiri eyo gye nababuulira, bwe muginywererako, naye bwe kitaba bwe kityo muba mwakkiririza bwereere.
and by which ye have life. In what terms I preached to you, ye remember; unless 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 from the first, as I had received it; that the Messiah died on account of our sins, as it is written:
4 era nti yaziikibwa, n’azuukizibwa ku lunaku olwokusatu ng’Ebyawandiikibwa bwe bigamba,
and that he was buried and arose on the third day, as it is written:
5 era nti yalabibwa Keefa n’oluvannyuma ekkumi n’ababiri.
and that he was seen by Cephas; and after him, by the twelve:
6 Era yalabibwa abooluganda abasukka ebikumi ebitaano omulundi gumu era abamu ku abo bakyali balamu newaakubadde ng’abalala baafa.
and after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once; many of whom survive at the present time, and some of them sleep.
7 Olwo n’alyoka alabikira Yakobo, n’oluvannyuma n’alabikira n’abatume bonna.
And subsequently to this, he was seen by James; and after him, by all the legates.
8 Oluvannyuma lwa bonna n’alyoka alabikira nange, ng’omwana azaalibbwa nga musowole.
And last of them all, he was seen by me, as it were by an abortion.
9 Kubanga nze nsembayo mu batume, Era sisaanira na kuyitibwa mutume, kubanga nayigganya Ekkanisa ya Katonda.
I am the least of the legates; and am not worthy to be called a legate; because I persecuted the church 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 the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace, that was in me, was not in vain; but I labored more than they all: -not I, but his grace that 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 I, therefore, or whether they, so we preached; and so ye believed.
12 Kale obanga abantu bategeezebwa nti Kristo yazuukizibwa mu bafu lwaki abamu mu mmwe bagamba nti tewali kuzuukira kwa bafu?
And if the Messiah is proclaimed, as rising from the dead; how is it that there are some among you, who say, There is no reviviscence of the dead?
13 Kale obanga tewali kuzuukira kwa bafu ne Kristo teyazuukizibwa.
And if there is no reviviscence of the dead, the Messiah also hath not risen.
14 Era obanga Kristo teyazuukizibwa, bye tubategeeza tebiriimu, era n’okukkiriza kwammwe tekuliiko kye kugasa.
And if the Messiah hath not risen, our preaching is vain, and your faith also vain.
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 too are found false witnesses of God; for we have testified concerning God, that he raised up the Messiah, when he did not raise him up.
16 Kale obanga abafu tebazuukizibwa, ne Kristo teyazuukizibwa.
For, if the dead will not arise, the Messiah also hath not risen.
17 Era obanga Kristo teyazuukizibwa okukkiriza kwammwe tekuliimu nsa, era mukyali mu bibi byammwe.
And if the Messiah rose not, your faith is inane; and ye are yet in your sins:
18 Era n’abo abaafa nga bakkiriza Kristo baazikirira.
and also, doubtless, they who have fallen asleep in the Messiah, have perished.
19 Kale obanga essuubi lyaffe mu Kristo likoma mu bulamu buno bwokka, tuli bakusaasirwa nnyo okusinga abantu bonna.
And if, in this life only, we have hope in the Messiah, we are the most miserable of all men.
20 Kyokka ddala Kristo yazuukizibwa mu bafu, era bye bibala ebibereberye eby’abo abaafa.
But now the Messiah hath risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept.
21 Kuba ng’okufa bwe kwaleetebwa omuntu, era n’okuzuukira kw’abafu kwaleetebwa muntu.
And as by a man came death, so also by a man came the reviviscence of the dead.
22 Kuba ng’abantu bonna bwe baafa olwa Adamu, era bwe batyo bonna balifuulibwa abalamu olwa Kristo.
For as it was by Adam, that all men die, so also by the Messiah they all live:
23 Kyokka buli omu mu luwalo lwe, Kristo ye yasooka era bw’alijja ababe ne baddako,
every one in his order; the Messiah was the first-fruits; afterwards, they that are the Messiah'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.
And then will be the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God the Father; when every prince, and every sovereign, and all powers shall have come to naught.
25 Kubanga Kristo agwanidde okufuga okutuusa bw’alissa abalabe be bonna wansi w’ebigere bye.
For he is to reign, until he shall put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Omulabe we alisembayo okuzikirizibwa kwe Kufa.
And the last enemy, death, will be abolished.
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 hath subjected all under his feet. But when he said, that every thing is subjected to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, who subjected all 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.
And when all shall be subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subject to him who subjected all to him, so that God will be all in all.
29 Kale obanga abafu tebazuukizibwa, abo ababatizibwa ku lw’abafu balikola batya? Era kale lwaki babatizibwa ku lwabwe?
Otherwise, what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not? Why are they baptized for the dead?
30 Era ffe lwaki tuli mu kabi buli kaseera?
And why also do we stand every hour in peril?
31 Abooluganda, olw’okwenyumiriza kwe munninamu, era kwe nnina mu Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe, nkakasa nti nfa buli lunaku.
I protest, my brethren, by your exultation, which is mine in our Lord Jesus the Messiah, that I die daily.
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, as amongst men, I was cast to wild beasts at Ephesus, what did it profit me, if the dead rise not? " Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die."
33 Temulimbibwalimbibwanga, kubanga “emikwano emibi gyonoona empisa ennungi.”
Be not deceived; " Evil stories corrupt well-disposed minds."
34 Mweddemu, mutambulirenga mu butuukirivu mulekeraawo okukola ebibi, kubanga abamu mu mmwe tebamanyi Katonda. Kino nkyogera kubakwasa nsonyi.
Let your hearts be righteously excited, and sin not: for there are some, in whom is not the love of God: it is to your shame, I say it.
35 Naye omuntu ayinza okubuuza nti, “Abafu bazuukizibwa batya?” Era nti, mubiri gwa ngeri ki gwe bajja nagwo?
But some one of you may say: How will the dead arise? and with what body will they come forth?
36 Musirusiru ggwe! Ensigo gy’osiga temeruka nga tennafa.
Foolish man! The seed which 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 that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that is to be, but the naked kernel of wheat or barley, or of the other grains:
38 Naye Katonda agiwa omubiri nga bw’ayagala, era buli ngeri ya nsigo agiwa omubiri gwayo.
and God giveth it a body, as he pleaseth; and to each of the grains its natural body.
39 Kubanga emibiri gyonna tegiba gya ngeri emu. Waliwo omubiri ogw’abantu, waliwo ogw’ensolo, waliwo ogw’ennyonyi, era waliwo n’ogw’ebyennyanja.
And every body is not alike; for the body of a man is one thing, and that of a beast is another, and that of a bird is another, and that of a fish is another.
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 bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial bodies is one, and that of the terrestrial is another.
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.
And the glory of the sun is one thing, and the glory of the moon is another, and the glory of the stars is another; and one star exceedeth another star in glory.
42 Era bwe kiri mu kuzuukira. Omubiri guziikibwa nga gwa kuvunda, ne guzuukizibwa nga si gwa kuvunda.
So also in the reviviscence of the dead. They are sown in corruption, they arise without corruption:
43 Guziikibwa nga si gwa kitiibwa, naye ne guzuukizibwa nga gujjudde ekitiibwa. Guziikibwa nga munafu, naye guzuukizibwa nga gwa maanyi.
they are sown in dishonor, they arise in glory: they are sown in weakness, they arise 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 an animal body, it ariseth a spiritual body. For there is a body of the animal life, and there is a body of the spirit.
45 kyekyava kiwandiikibwa nti, “Adamu, omuntu eyasooka, yatondebwa ng’alina obulamu.” Kyokka Adamu ow’oluvannyuma ye Mwoyo aleeta obulamu.
So also is it written: " Adam, the first man, became a living soul;" the second Adam became a quickening spirit.
46 Naye eky’omwoyo si kye kyasooka, wabula eky’omubiri obubiri kye kyasooka, n’oluvannyuma eky’omwoyo ne kijja.
And the spiritual was not first; but the animal, and then the spiritual.
47 Omuntu eyasooka yava mu ttaka, yakolebwa mu nfuufu. Ye omuntu owookubiri yava mu ggulu.
The first man was of dust from the earth; the second man was the Lord from heaven.
48 Ng’eyakolebwa mu nfuufu bw’ali, n’abo abaakolebwa mu nfuufu bwe bali.
As he was of the dust, so also those who are of the dust; and as was he who was from heaven, so also are the heavenly.
49 Era nga bwe tufaanana oyo eyakolebwa mu nfuufu, era bwe tutyo bwe tulifaanana oyo eyava mu ggulu.
And as we have worn the likeness of him from the dust, so shall we wear the likeness of him from heaven.
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, my brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Naye leka mbabuulire ekyama: Si ffenna abalifa, naye eŋŋombe ey’enkomerero bw’erivuga ffenna tulifuusibwa
Lo, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, 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.
suddenly, as in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, when it shall sound; and the dead will arise, without corruption; and we shall be changed.
53 Kubanga omubiri guno oguvunda gwa kufuuka ogutavunda, era omubiri guno ogufa gwa kufuuka ogutafa.
For this which is corruptible, is to put on incorruption; and that which dieth, will put on immortality.
54 Omubiri guno oguvunda bwe gulifuuka ogutavunda, ogufa ne gufuuka ogutafa, olwo Ekyawandiikibwa ne kiryoka kituukirira ekigamba nti, “Okufa kuwanguddwa.”
And when this that is corruptible, shall put on incorruption, and this that dieth, immortality; then will take place the word that is written, " Death is absorbed in victory."
Where is thy sting, O death? And where is thy victory, O grave? (Hadēs g86)
56 Obuyinza obulumya buva mu kibi, n’amaanyi g’ekibi gava mu mateeka.
Now the sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 Kyokka Katonda yeebazibwe atuwanguza ffe ku bwa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo.
But thanks be to God, that giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
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.
Wherefore, my brethren and my beloved, be ye steadfast, and be not vacillating; but be ye at all times abundant in the work of the Lord; seeing ye know, that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
