1 VaKorinde 15
1 Zvino hama, ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai vhangeri randakakuparidzirai, iro ramakagamuchira uye ramakamira mariri.
Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 Nevhangeri irori munoponeswa, kana mukabatirira kwazvo pashoko randakakuparidzirai. Zvimwe makatenda pasina.
by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 Nokuti zvandakagamuchira sezvinokosha pakutanga ndizvo zvandakakupaiwo: kuti Kristu akafira zvivi zvedu sezvazvakanyorwa muMagwaro,
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 kuti akavigwa, akamutswa pazuva rechitatu sezvazvakanyorwa muMagwaro,
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 uye kuti akazviratidza kuna Petro, tevere kuna vane gumi navaviri.
and that he appeared to Kefa, then to the twelve.
6 Mushure mezvo akazviratidza kuhama dzaipfuura mazana mashanu panguva imwe chete, vazhinji vavo vachiri vapenyu, kunyange zvazvo vamwe vavete.
Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 Ipapo akazozviratidza kuna Jakobho, mushure mezvo kuvapostori,
Then he appeared to Jacob, then to all the emissaries,
8 uye pakupedzisira akazozviratidza kwandiriwo, sokuna akazvarwa nguva isati yasvika.
and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9 Nokuti ndiri muduku kuvapostori vose, uye handikodzeri kunzi mupostori, nokuti ndakatambudza kereke yaMwari.
For I am the least of the emissaries, who is not worthy to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the assembly 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 what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Ipapo kunyange dai ndiri ini kana ivo, izvi ndizvo zvatinoparidza, uye izvi ndizvo zvamakatenda.
Whether then it is I or they, so we proclaim, and so you believed.
12 Asi kana kuchiparidzwa kuchinzi Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, ko, vamwe venyu vangareva sei kuti hakuna kumutswa kwavakafa?
Now if Messiah is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some amongst you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Kana kusina kumutswa kwavakafa, saka naizvozvowo Kristu haana kumutswa.
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Messiah been raised.
14 Zvino kana Kristu asina kumutswa, kuparidza kwedu hakuna maturo, saizvozvowo nokutenda kwenyu.
If Messiah has not been raised, then our proclaiming is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
15 Pamusoro pezvo, tichaonekwa tiri zvapupu zvaMwari zvenhema, nokuti takapupura kuti Mwari akamutsa Kristu kubva kuvakafa. Asi haana kumumutsa kana zvirokwazvo vakafa vasingamutswi.
Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Messiah, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.
16 Nokuti kana vakafa vasingamutswi, saizvozvowo Kristu haana kumutswa kuvakafa.
For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Messiah been raised.
17 Uye kana Kristu asina kumutswa, kutenda hakubatsiri; muchiri muzvivi zvenyu.
If Messiah has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18 Naizvozvowo vose vakafa muna Kristu vakatorasikawo.
Then they also who are fallen asleep in Messiah have perished.
19 Kana tine tariro muna Kristu nokuda kwoupenyu huno chete, tinonzwisa urombo kupfuura vanhu vose.
If we have only hoped in Messiah in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
20 Asi, zvirokwazvo Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, akava chibereko chokutanga chavavete.
But now Messiah has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
21 Nokuti sezvo rufu rwakauya kubudikidza nomunhu mumwe, kumuka kuvakafa kwakauyawo kubudikidza nomunhu mumwe.
For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
22 Nokuti, sokufa kwakaita vanhu vose muna Adhamu, naizvozvowo muna Kristu vose vachaitwa vapenyu.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all will be made alive.
23 Asi mumwe nomumwe padzoro rake: Kristu chibereko chokutanga; ipapo paanouya, tevere vose vanova vake.
But each in his own order: Messiah the first fruits, then those who are Messiah’s at his coming.
24 Ipapo magumo achasvika, panguva yaachazopa umambo kuna Mwari Baba mushure mokunge aparadza ushe hwose, ukuru hwose nesimba rose.
Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 Nokuti anofanira kubata ushe kusvikira aisa vavengi vake vose pasi petsoka dzake.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Muvengi wokupedzisira achaparadzwa ndirwo rufu.
The last enemy that will be abolished 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 put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
28 Kana achinge aita izvi, ipapo Mwanakomanawo pachake achaiswa pasi paiye akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi pake kuti Mwari agova zvose mune zvose.
When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
29 Zvino kana kusina kumuka, ko, vakabhabhatidzirwa vakafa vachazoiteiko? Kana vakafa vasingamutswi, seiko vanhu vachivabhabhatidzirwa?
Or else what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?
30 Uye kana tiri isu, tinozviisireiko panjodzi nguva dzose?
Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 Ndinofa zuva nezuva, ndinorevesa hama dzangu, zvirokwazvo sezvandinozvirumbidza pamusoro penyu muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.
I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Messiah Yeshua our Lord, I die daily.
32 Kana ndakarwa nezvikara paEfeso nokuda kwezvikonzero zvapanyama, zvakandibatsireiko? Kana vakafa vasingamutswi, “Ngatidyei uye tinwe, nokuti mangwana tichafa.”
If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 Musanyengerwa: “Ushamwari hwakaipa hunoodza tsika dzakanaka.”
Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
34 Dzokai pandangariro dzenyu sezvamakafanira, uye murege kutadza; nokuti kuna vamwe vasingazivi Mwari. Ndinotaura izvi kuti munyadziswe.
Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35 Asi mumwe angabvunza achiti, “Ko, vakafa vanomutswa sei? Vachauya nomuviri wakaita seiko?”
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
36 Upenzi hwakadii! Chaunodyara hachingameri kana chisina kufa.
You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 Kana ukadyara haudyari muviri uchazovapo, asi tsanga bedzi, ingava yegorosi kana chimwe chinhuwo zvacho.
That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
38 Asi Mwari anoipa muviri sezvaanoda, uye kumbeu imwe neimwe muviri wayo.
But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
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, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
40 Kunewo miviri yokudenga, nemiviri yenyika; asi kubwinya kwemiviri yokudenga ndokumwe kubwinya, kwemiviri yapanyika ndokumwe.
There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
41 Zuva rino kubwinya kwaro, mwedzi unewo kumwe, nenyeredzi dzinewo kumwe; uye nyeredzi haifanani neimwe nyeredzi pakubwinya.
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42 Ndizvo zvazvichazova pakumuka kwavakafa. Muviri unodyarwa uri unoparara, unomutswa usisaparari;
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
43 unodyarwa pakuzvidzwa, unomutswa mukubwinya; unodyarwa muutera, unomutswa musimba;
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 unodyarwa uri muviri wenyama, unomutswa uri muviri womweya. Kana kune muviri wenyama, kune muviri womweyawo.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
45 Naizvozvo kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Munhu wokutanga, Adhamu, akava munhu mupenyu;” Adhamu wokupedzisira akava mweya unopa upenyu.
So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 Mweya hauna kuuya pakutanga, asi nyama, uye mushure mezvo mweya.
However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
47 Munhu wokutanga akanga ari guruva renyika, munhu wechipiri akanga achibva kudenga.
The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 Sezvakanga zvakaita munhu wapanyika, ndizvowo zvakaita vaya vari venyika; uyewo sezvakaita munhu akabva kudenga, ndizvo zvakaitawo vaya vari vokudenga.
As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 Uye sezvatakanga tine mufananidzo womunhu wapanyika, saizvozvowo tichava nomufananidzo womunhu akabva kudenga.
As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Zvino, hama, ndinoti kwamuri nyama neropa hazvingagari nhaka youmambo hwaMwari, uye zvinoparara hazvingagari nhaka yezvisingaparari.
Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
51 Teererai, ndinokutaurirai chakavanzika: Hatingafi tose, asi tose tichashandurwa,
Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 pakarepo, sokubwaira kweziso, pahwamanda yokupedzisira. Nokuti hwamanda icharira, vakafa vachamutswa mukusaparara, uye tichashandurwa.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last shofar. For the shofar will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
53 Nokuti chinoparara chinofanira kufuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chinofanira kufuka kusafa.
For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 Kana chinoparara chikafuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chikafuka kusafa, ipapo tsumo yakanyorwa ichazadziswa yokuti: “Rufu rwakamedzwa nokukunda.”
But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“Death, where is your sting? Sheol, where is your victory?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Rumborera rwerufu ndicho chivi, uye simba rechivi ndiwo murayiro.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 Asi Mwari ngaavongwe! Anotipa kukunda kubudikidza naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
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 beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
