1 Qorontos 15
1 Ammas yaa obboloota, ani waaʼee wangeela ani isinitti lallabe, kan isin fudhattanii ittiin dhaabatan sanaa isin yaadachiisuu nan barbaada.
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye have received, and in which ye stand;
2 Isin yoo dubbii ani isinitti lallabe sana jabeessitanii qabattan wangeeluma kanaan ni fayyitu. Yoo kanaa achii akkasumaan amantan jechuu dha.
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached to you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 Anis waanan fudhadhe duraan dursee dabarseen isinitti kenneeraatii; akka Katabbiiwwan Qulqulluun dubbatanitti, Kiristoos cubbuu keenyaaf jedhee duʼe;
For I delivered to you first of all, that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 ni awwaalames; akka Katabbiiwwan Qulqulluun dubbatanitti guyyaa sadaffaatti duʼaa kaafame.
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 Inni duraan dursee Keefaatti, ergasiis warra Kudha Lamaanitti mulʼate.
And that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve:
6 Sana booddee yeroo tokkotti obboloota dhibba shanii ol taʼanitti mulʼate; isaan keessaas yoo muraasni boqotan iyyuu hedduun isaanii hamma ammaatti ni jiru.
After that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have fallen asleep.
7 Ergasiis Yaaqoobitti, itti aansee ergamoota hundatti mulʼate;
After that he was seen by James; then by all the apostles.
8 dhuma irratti immoo ana kan akka gatataatti dhalateetti lakkaaʼamutti mulʼate.
And last of all he was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
9 Ani ergamoota hundaa gadi; ergamaa jedhamee waamamuun iyyuu naaf hin malu; ani waldaa kiristaanaa Waaqaa ariʼachaan tureetii.
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Garuu ani ayyaana Waaqaatiin akkuman jiru kana jira; ayyaanni isaa kan naa kennames akkasumaan hin hafne. Ani hunduma isaanii caalaa jabaadhee hojjedheera; kanas utuu ana hin taʼin ayyaana Waaqaa kan na wajjin jirutu hojjete.
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which [was bestowed] upon me, was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Egaa anas taʼu yookaan isaan, wanni nu lallabnu, wanni isin amantanis kanuma.
Therefore whether [it was] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12 Kiristoos warra duʼan keessaa akka kaafame erga lallabamee, isin keessaa namoonni tokko tokko akkamitti duʼaa kaʼuun warra duʼanii hin jiru jechuu dandaʼu ree?
Now if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Erga duʼaa kaʼuun warra duʼanii hin jirre, Kiristoos iyyuu duʼaa hin kaafamne jechuudha kaa!
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not raised.
14 Erga Kiristoos duʼaa hin kaafamin immoo lallabni keenya faayidaa hin qabu; amantiin keessanis faayidaa hin qabu.
And if Christ is not raised, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
15 Kana malees Waaqni Kiristoosin duʼaa kaaseera jennee waaʼee Waaqaa waan dhugaa baaneef, nu waaʼee Waaqaa dhuga baatota sobaa taanee argamneerra. Garuu erga warri duʼan hin kaafamin inni Kiristoosin hin kaafne jechuu dha.
And indeed we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified concerning God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if in truth the dead rise not.
16 Yoo warri duʼan kaafamuu baatan, Kiristoosis duʼaa hin kaafamneetii.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 Erga Kiristoos duʼaa hin kaafamin amantiin keessan faayidaa hin qabu; isinis ammuma iyyuu cubbuu keessa jirtu.
And if Christ is not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Yoos warri utuu Kiristoositti jiranuu boqotan baduu isaanii ti.
Then they also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Yoo jireenya ammaa qofaaf Kiristoosin abdanne nu warra namni hundi naʼuuf taʼuu keenya.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 Amma garuu Kiristoos warra boqotaniif hangafa taʼee dhugumaan warra duʼan keessaa kaafameera.
But now is Christ raised from the dead, [and] become the first-fruits of them that slept.
21 Akkuma duuti karaa nama tokkootiin dhufe, akkasuma immoo duʼaa kaʼuun warra duʼanii karaa nama tokkootiin dhufeetii.
For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Akkuma hundinuu Addaamiin duʼan, hundinuu Kiristoosiin jiraatoo ni taasifamuutii.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 Kun hundinuus yeroo dabaree isaatti ni taʼa; Kiristoos hangafticha, ergasii immoo yeroo inni deebiʼee dhufutti warra kan Kiristoos taʼan.
But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Innis erga bulchiinsa hunda, taayitaa fi humna hunda balleessee booddee, yeroo Waaqa Abbaatti mootummaa dabarsee kennutti dhumni ni taʼa.
Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule, and all authority, and power.
25 Inni hamma diinota isaa hunda miilla isaa jala galfatutti moʼuu qabaatii.
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 Diinni dhumaa kan barbadeeffamuu qabu duʼa.
The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.
27 Inni, “Waan hunda miilla isaa jala galcheeraatii.” Garuu “Wanni hundi” isa jala galfameera jechuun akka isa waan hunda isa jala galche sana hin dabalatin beekamaa dha.
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under [him], [it is] manifest that he is excepted who did put all things under him.
28 Erga waan kana godhee booddee akka Waaqni waan hundumaan hundumaa taʼuuf Ilmi mataan isaa iyyuu isa waan hundumaa miilla isaa jala galche sanaaf ni bula.
And when all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Yoo duʼaa kaʼuun jiraachuu baate namoonni warra duʼaniif jedhanii cuuphaman maal gochuu isaanii ti? Warri duʼanis yoo duʼaa hin kaafamin namoonni maaliif qooda isaanii cuuphamu ree?
Else what will they do, who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 Nu maaliif saʼaatii hunda balaaf of saaxilla?
And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31 Yaa obboloota, ani guyyuma guyyaan akkan duʼu of jajuu karaa Gooftaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuusiin isin irratti qabuun nan kakadha.
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 Ani akka namaatti Efesoonitti bineensa wajjin wal loluun koo, erga warri duʼan hin kaafamnee, maal na fayyada? “Kottaa ni nyaannaa; ni dhugnas; bor ni duunaatii.”
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
33 Hin gowwoomfaminaa: “Hiriyaan hamaan amala gaarii balleessa.”
Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Gara qalbii keessan isa qajeelaatti deebiʼaa; cubbuu hojjechuus dhiisaa; namoonni Waaqa hin beekne tokko tokko isin gidduu jiruutii. Anis isin qaanessuufin waan kana dubbadha.
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak [this] to your shame.
35 Garuu namni tokko, “Warri duʼan akkamitti kaafamu? Dhagna akkamiitiin dhufu?” jedhee ni gaafata taʼa.
But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
36 Yaa gowwaa! Wanni ati facaaftu yoo duʼe malee jireenya hin argatu.
[Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not vivified except it die:
37 Wanni ati facaaftu sanyiidhuma, jechuunis sanyii qamadii yookaan sanyii midhaan biraati malee dhagna midhaan biqilee guddachuuf jiru sanaa miti.
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain; it may be of wheat, or of some other [grain]:
38 Waaqni garuu akkuma fedhetti dhagna isaaf kenna; tokkoo tokkoo gosa sanyiitiifis dhagna mataa isaa kenna.
But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed its own body.
39 Foon hundinuu tokko miti; namni foon gosa tokkoo qaba; horiin foon gosa biraa, simbirroon foon gosa biraa, qurxummiinis foon gosa biraa qabu.
All flesh [is] not the same flesh; but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of fowls.
40 Akkasuma immoo dhagnawwan samii irraa ni jiru; dhagnawwan lafa irraas ni jiru; garuu ulfinni dhagnawwan samii irraa gosa tokko; ulfinni dhagnawwan lafa irraa immoo gosa biraa ti.
[There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another.
41 Aduun ulfina gosa tokkoo qabdi; jiʼis ulfina gosa biraa, urjiiwwanis ulfina gosa biraa qabu; urjiin tokko ulfinaan urjii biraatiin addaatii.
[There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.
42 Duʼaa kaʼuun warra duʼaniis akkasuma. Dhagni facaafamu kan baduu dha; kan hin badne taʼee immoo kaafama.
So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:
43 Inni salphinaan facaafama; ulfinaan kaafama; dadhabbiin facaafama; humnaan kaafama;
It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power:
44 dhagna fooniitu facaafama; dhagna hafuuraatu kaafama. Erga dhagni foonii jiraate, dhagni hafuuraas ni jira.
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 Kanaaf, “Addaam namichi jalqabaa lubbuu jiraataa taʼe” jedhamee barreeffameera; Addaam inni dhumaa immoo hafuura jireenya kennu taʼe.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam [was made] a vivifying spirit.
46 Inni jalqabatti dhufe garuu isa hafuuraa utuu hin taʼin isa foonii ti; inni hafuuraa immoo ergasii dhufe.
However, that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 Namichi duraa lafa irraa dhufe; inni kan lafaa ti; namichi lammaffaan immoo samii irraa dhufe.
The first man [is] from the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.
48 Warri kan lafaa taʼan akkuma namicha lafa irraa sanaa ti; warri kan samii taʼan immoo akkuma namicha samii irraa dhufe sanaa ti.
As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
49 Nu akkuma bifa namicha lafaa sanaa uffanne, akkasuma immoo bifa namicha samii sanaa ni uffanna.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Yaa obboloota, akka foonii fi dhiigni mootummaa Waaqaa dhaaluu hin dandeenye yookaan akka inni badu isa hin badne dhaaluu hin dandeenye ani isinitti nan hima.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Kunoo, ani icciitii tokko isinittin hima: Hundi keenya hin duunu; nu hundi garuu ni geeddaramna;
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 kunis yeroo malakanni dhumaa afuufamu yeruma sanatti hamma liphsuu ijaatti raawwatama. Malakanni ni afuufamaatii; warri duʼanis kanneen hin badne taʼanii ni kaafamu; nus ni geeddaramna.
In a moment, 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 Inni badu kun isa hin badne, inni duʼu kun immoo isa hin duune uffachuu qabaatii.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.
54 Yeroo inni badu isa hin badne uffatee, inni duʼu immoo isa hin duune uffatutti dubbiin akkana jedhamee barreeffame sun ni raawwatama; “Duuti moʼichaan liqimfameera.” Akkasumas,
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Ilkeen duʼaa cubbuu dha; humni cubbuu immoo seera.
The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.
57 Waaqa karaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin moʼicha nuu kennuuf garuu galanni haa taʼu!
But thanks [be] to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Kanaafuu yaa obboloota koo jaallatamoo, jabaadhaa dhaabadhaa. Wanni tokko isin hin sochoosin; akka dadhabbiin keessan Gooftaa biratti faayidaa malee hin hafne waan beektaniif yeroo hunda hojii Gooftaatiif guutummaatti of kennaa.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
