1 VaKorinde 15
1 Zvino hama, ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai vhangeri randakakuparidzirai, iro ramakagamuchira uye ramakamira mariri.
Moreouer brethren, I declare vnto you the Gospel, which I preached vnto you, which ye haue also receiued, and wherein ye continue,
2 Nevhangeri irori munoponeswa, kana mukabatirira kwazvo pashoko randakakuparidzirai. Zvimwe makatenda pasina.
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 Nokuti zvandakagamuchira sezvinokosha pakutanga ndizvo zvandakakupaiwo: kuti Kristu akafira zvivi zvedu sezvazvakanyorwa muMagwaro,
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 akavigwa, akamutswa pazuva rechitatu sezvazvakanyorwa muMagwaro,
And that he was buried, and that he arose the third day, according to the Scriptures,
5 uye kuti akazviratidza kuna Petro, tevere kuna vane gumi navaviri.
And that he was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue.
6 Mushure mezvo akazviratidza kuhama dzaipfuura mazana mashanu panguva imwe chete, vazhinji vavo vachiri vapenyu, kunyange zvazvo vamwe vavete.
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 Ipapo akazozviratidza kuna Jakobho, mushure mezvo kuvapostori,
After that, he was seene of Iames: then of all the Apostles.
8 uye pakupedzisira akazozviratidza kwandiriwo, sokuna akazvarwa nguva isati yasvika.
And last of all he was seene also of me, as of one borne out of due time.
9 Nokuti ndiri muduku kuvapostori vose, uye handikodzeri kunzi mupostori, nokuti ndakatambudza kereke yaMwari.
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 Asi nokuda kwenyasha dzaMwari ndiri zvandiri uye nyasha dzake kwandiri hadzina kuva pasina. Kwete, ndakashanda kupfuura vose, asi ndisiri ini, asi nyasha dzaMwari dzaiva neni.
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 Ipapo kunyange dai ndiri ini kana ivo, izvi ndizvo zvatinoparidza, uye izvi ndizvo zvamakatenda.
Wherefore, whether it were I, or they, so we preach, and so haue ye beleeued.
12 Asi kana kuchiparidzwa kuchinzi Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, ko, vamwe venyu vangareva sei kuti hakuna kumutswa kwavakafa?
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 Kana kusina kumutswa kwavakafa, saka naizvozvowo Kristu haana kumutswa.
For if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 Zvino kana Kristu asina kumutswa, kuparidza kwedu hakuna maturo, saizvozvowo nokutenda kwenyu.
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vaine, and your faith is also vaine.
15 Pamusoro pezvo, tichaonekwa tiri zvapupu zvaMwari zvenhema, nokuti takapupura kuti Mwari akamutsa Kristu kubva kuvakafa. Asi haana kumumutsa kana zvirokwazvo vakafa vasingamutswi.
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 Nokuti kana vakafa vasingamutswi, saizvozvowo Kristu haana kumutswa kuvakafa.
For if the dead be not raised, then is Christ not raised.
17 Uye kana Kristu asina kumutswa, kutenda hakubatsiri; muchiri muzvivi zvenyu.
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine: ye are yet in your sinnes.
18 Naizvozvowo vose vakafa muna Kristu vakatorasikawo.
And so they which are a sleepe in Christ, are perished.
19 Kana tine tariro muna Kristu nokuda kwoupenyu huno chete, tinonzwisa urombo kupfuura vanhu vose.
If in this life onely wee haue hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.
20 Asi, zvirokwazvo Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, akava chibereko chokutanga chavavete.
But nowe is Christ risen from the dead, and was made the first fruites of them that slept.
21 Nokuti sezvo rufu rwakauya kubudikidza nomunhu mumwe, kumuka kuvakafa kwakauyawo kubudikidza nomunhu mumwe.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Nokuti, sokufa kwakaita vanhu vose muna Adhamu, naizvozvowo muna Kristu vose vachaitwa vapenyu.
For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue,
23 Asi mumwe nomumwe padzoro rake: Kristu chibereko chokutanga; ipapo paanouya, tevere vose vanova vake.
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 Ipapo magumo achasvika, panguva yaachazopa umambo kuna Mwari Baba mushure mokunge aparadza ushe hwose, ukuru hwose nesimba rose.
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 Nokuti anofanira kubata ushe kusvikira aisa vavengi vake vose pasi petsoka dzake.
For he must reigne till hee hath put all his enemies vnder his feete.
26 Muvengi wokupedzisira achaparadzwa ndirwo rufu.
The last enemie that shalbe destroyed, is death.
27 Nokuti akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi petsoka dzake. Zvino kana achiti “zvinhu zvose” zvakaiswa pasi petsoka dzake, zviri pachena kuti izvi hazvisanganisiri Mwari pachake, iye akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi paKristu.
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 Kana achinge aita izvi, ipapo Mwanakomanawo pachake achaiswa pasi paiye akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi pake kuti Mwari agova zvose mune zvose.
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 Zvino kana kusina kumuka, ko, vakabhabhatidzirwa vakafa vachazoiteiko? Kana vakafa vasingamutswi, seiko vanhu vachivabhabhatidzirwa?
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 Uye kana tiri isu, tinozviisireiko panjodzi nguva dzose?
Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre?
31 Ndinofa zuva nezuva, ndinorevesa hama dzangu, zvirokwazvo sezvandinozvirumbidza pamusoro penyu muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.
By your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly.
32 Kana ndakarwa nezvikara paEfeso nokuda kwezvikonzero zvapanyama, zvakandibatsireiko? Kana vakafa vasingamutswi, “Ngatidyei uye tinwe, nokuti mangwana tichafa.”
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 Musanyengerwa: “Ushamwari hwakaipa hunoodza tsika dzakanaka.”
Be not deceiued: euill speakings corrupt good maners.
34 Dzokai pandangariro dzenyu sezvamakafanira, uye murege kutadza; nokuti kuna vamwe vasingazivi Mwari. Ndinotaura izvi kuti munyadziswe.
Awake to liue righteously, and sinne not: for some haue not ye knowledge of God, I speake this to your shame.
35 Asi mumwe angabvunza achiti, “Ko, vakafa vanomutswa sei? Vachauya nomuviri wakaita seiko?”
But some man will say, Howe are the dead raised vp? and with what body come they foorth?
36 Upenzi hwakadii! Chaunodyara hachingameri kana chisina kufa.
O foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it die.
37 Kana ukadyara haudyari muviri uchazovapo, asi tsanga bedzi, ingava yegorosi kana chimwe chinhuwo zvacho.
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 Asi Mwari anoipa muviri sezvaanoda, uye kumbeu imwe neimwe muviri wayo.
But God giueth it a body at his pleasure, euen to euery seede his owne body,
39 Nyama yose haina kufanana: Vanhu vane rumwe rudzi rwenyama, mhuka dzinewo rumwe rudzi, shiri rumwewo, uye nehove dzinewo rumwe.
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 Kunewo miviri yokudenga, nemiviri yenyika; asi kubwinya kwemiviri yokudenga ndokumwe kubwinya, kwemiviri yapanyika ndokumwe.
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 Zuva rino kubwinya kwaro, mwedzi unewo kumwe, nenyeredzi dzinewo kumwe; uye nyeredzi haifanani neimwe nyeredzi pakubwinya.
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 Ndizvo zvazvichazova pakumuka kwavakafa. Muviri unodyarwa uri unoparara, unomutswa usisaparari;
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The bodie is sowen in corruption, and is raysed in incorruption.
43 unodyarwa pakuzvidzwa, unomutswa mukubwinya; unodyarwa muutera, unomutswa musimba;
It is sowen in dishonour, and is raysed in glory: it is sowen in weakenesse, and is raysed in power.
44 unodyarwa uri muviri wenyama, unomutswa uri muviri womweya. Kana kune muviri wenyama, kune muviri womweyawo.
It is sowen a naturall body, and is raysed a spirituall body: there is a naturall body, and there is a spirituall body.
45 Naizvozvo kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Munhu wokutanga, Adhamu, akava munhu mupenyu;” Adhamu wokupedzisira akava mweya unopa upenyu.
As it is also written, The first man Adam was made a liuing soule: and the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit.
46 Mweya hauna kuuya pakutanga, asi nyama, uye mushure mezvo mweya.
Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall.
47 Munhu wokutanga akanga ari guruva renyika, munhu wechipiri akanga achibva kudenga.
The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man is the Lord from heauen.
48 Sezvakanga zvakaita munhu wapanyika, ndizvowo zvakaita vaya vari venyika; uyewo sezvakaita munhu akabva kudenga, ndizvo zvakaitawo vaya vari vokudenga.
As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly.
49 Uye sezvatakanga tine mufananidzo womunhu wapanyika, saizvozvowo tichava nomufananidzo womunhu akabva kudenga.
And as we haue borne the image of the earthly, so shall we beare the image of the heauenly.
50 Zvino, hama, ndinoti kwamuri nyama neropa hazvingagari nhaka youmambo hwaMwari, uye zvinoparara hazvingagari nhaka yezvisingaparari.
This say I, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God, neither doeth corruption inherite incorruption.
51 Teererai, ndinokutaurirai chakavanzika: Hatingafi tose, asi tose tichashandurwa,
Behold, I shewe you a secret thing, We shall not all sleepe, but we shall all be changed,
52 pakarepo, sokubwaira kweziso, pahwamanda yokupedzisira. Nokuti hwamanda icharira, vakafa vachamutswa mukusaparara, uye tichashandurwa.
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 Nokuti chinoparara chinofanira kufuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chinofanira kufuka kusafa.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortall must put on immortalitie.
54 Kana chinoparara chikafuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chikafuka kusafa, ipapo tsumo yakanyorwa ichazadziswa yokuti: “Rufu rwakamedzwa nokukunda.”
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 Rumborera rwerufu ndicho chivi, uye simba rechivi ndiwo murayiro.
The sting of death is sinne: and ye strength of sinne is the Lawe.
57 Asi Mwari ngaavongwe! Anotipa kukunda kubudikidza naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
But thankes be vnto God, which hath giuen vs victorie through our Lord Iesus Christ.
58 Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, mirai makasimba. Pashayiwe chinhu chingakuzungunusai. Muchishandira Ishe zvikuru nguva dzose, nokuti munoziva kuti kubata basa kwenyu muna She hakungavi pasina.
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.
