1 VaKorinde 15
1 Naizvozvo, hama, ndinokuzivisai evhangeri yandakakuparidzirai, yamagamuchirawo, neyamumire mairi;
Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 uye yamunoponeswawo nayo, kana muchibatisisa inzwi reevhangeri randakaparidza kwamuri, kunze kwekuti 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 ndakakumikidza kwamuri pakutanga izvo zvandakagamuchirawo, kuti Kristu wakafira zvivi zvedu, zvichienderana nemagwaro;
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 uye kuti wakavigwa, uye kuti wakamutswa nezuva retatu, zvichienderana nemagwaro;
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 uye kuti wakaonekwa kuna Kefasi, pashure kune vanegumi nevaviri;
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 shure kweizvozvo wakaonekwa kuhama dzinopfuura mazana mashanu nguva imwe, vazhinji vavo vachiripo kusvikira ikozvino, asi vamwewo varara;
After that he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 shure kweizvozvo wakaonekwa kuna Jakobho; pashure kuvaapositori vese.
After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 Uye pakupedzisira kwevese akaonekwa neniwo, sekune wakazvarwa nguva isina kufanira.
and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9 Nokuti ini ndiri mudikisa wevaapositori, handifaniri kunzi muapositori, nokuti ndakashusha kereke yaMwari.
For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Asi nenyasha dzaMwari ndiri zvandiri, uye nyasha dzake dziri pandiri hadzina kuva pasina; asi ndakabata zvikuru kupfuura vese; zvakadaro handisi ini, asi nyasha dzaMwari dzineni.
But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on 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 Naizvozvo, kana ndiri ini kana ivo, saizvozvo tinoparidza uye saizvozvo makatenda.
Whether then it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
12 Zvino kana Kristu achiparidzwa kuti wakamutswa kubva kuvakafa, vamwe pakati penyu vanoreva sei kuti hakuna kumuka kwevakafa?
Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Asi dai pasina kumuka kwevakafa, naKristu haana kumutswa;
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
14 uye kana Kristu asina kumutswa, naizvozvo kuparidza kwedu hakuna maturo, nerutendo rwenyuwo harwuna maturo.
If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
15 Nesuwo tinowanikwa tiri zvapupu zvaMwari zvenhema, nokuti takapupura zvaMwari kuti wakamutsa Kristu iye waasina kumutsa, kana kuri kuti vakafa havamutswi.
Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.
16 Nokuti dai vakafa vasingamutswi, Kristu haanawo kumutswa;
For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17 uye dai Kristu asina kumutswa, rutendo rwenyu haruna maturo; muchiri muzvivi zvenyu.
If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18 Naizvozvo nevarere muna Kristu vaparara.
Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Dai muupenyu huno tine tariro muna Kristu chete, tinonzwisa tsitsi kukunda vanhu vese.
If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 Asi ikozvinowo Kristu wakamutswa kubva kuvakafa, akava chibereko chekutanga chevarere.
But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.
21 Nokuti sezvo nemunhu rufu rwakauya, kumuka kwevakafawo kwakauya nemunhu.
For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
22 Nokuti vese muna Adhamu sezvavanofa, saizvozvowo vese muna Kristu vachararamiswa.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23 Asi umwe neumwe padzoro rake; Kristu chibereko chekutanga, tevere avo vari vaKristu pakuuya kwake,
But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.
24 kozouya kuguma, paachazokumikidza umambo kuna Mwari, ivo Baba, paachaparadza kutonga kwese neushe hwese nesimba.
Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 Nokuti anofanira iye kutonga, kusvikira aisa vese vavengi pasi petsoka dzake.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Muvengi wekupedzisira uchaparadzwa ndirwo rufu.
The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 Nokuti wakaisa zvinhu zvese pasi petsoka dzake. Asi kana achiti zvinhu zvese zvakaiswa pasi pake, zviri pachena kuti ari kunze wakaisa zvinhu zvese pasi pake.
For, "He put all things under his feet." But when he says "all things" are put under, it is evident that the one who put all things under is the exception.
28 Zvino kana zvinhu zvese zvaiswa pasi pake, ipapo Mwanakomanawo amene achaiswa pasi paiye wakaisa zvese pasi pake, kuti Mwari ave zvese mune zvese.
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 Ko, vanobhabhatidzirwa vakafa vachaita sei kana vakafa vasingatongomutswi? Vakagobhabhatidzirwa vakafa nemhaka yei?
Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
30 Nemhaka yei nesu tiri panjodzi awa rega-rega?
Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 Ndinofa zuva nezuva, ndinopika nokuzvikudza pamusoro penyu kwandinako muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.
I affirm, brothers, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 Kana ndakarwa nenzira yevanhu nezvikara paEfeso, zvinondibatsirei, kana vakafa vasingamutswi? Ngatidye nekunwa, nokuti mangwana tinofa.
If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
33 Musanyengerwa; kushamwaridzana nevakaipa kunoodza tsika dzakanaka.
Do not be deceived. "Bad company corrupts good morals."
34 Pengenukai nenzira yekururama uye musatadza, nokuti vamwe vane kusaziva Mwari; ndinotaura kuti muve nenyadzi.
Become sober-minded, and do not sin, for some are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.
35 Asi umwe achati: Vakafa vanomutswa sei? Uye vanouya nemuviri wakaita sei?
But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?"
36 Dununu, icho chaunodzvara iwe hachiitwi chipenyu kunze kwekuti chafa;
You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 uye icho chaunodzvara, haudzvari muviri uchavapo, asi tsanga isina chinhu, kana yezviyo kana yezvimwe;
That which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
38 asi Mwari anoipa muviri paanoda napo, nekumbeu imwe neimwe muviri wayo pachayo.
But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 Nyama yese haisi nyama imwe; asi imwe inyama yevanhu, imwewo inyama yemhuka, imwewo yehove, imwewo yeshiri.
All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of humans, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
40 Kune miviriwo yekudenga, nemiviri yenyika; asi kubwinya kweyekudenga ndekumwe, asi kweyenyika ndekumwe.
There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
41 Kumwe kubwinya ndekwezuva, nekumwe kubwinya ndekwemwedzi, uye kumwe kubwinya ndekwenyeredzi, nokuti nyeredzi inosiyana 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 Kwakadarowo kumuka kwevakafa. Kunodzvarwa mukuora, kunomutswa mukusaora;
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
43 kunodzvarwa mukuzvidzwa, kunomutswa mukubwinya; kunodzvarwa muutera, kunomutswa musimba.
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 Kunodzvarwa kuri muviri wechisikirwo, kunomutswa kuri muviri wemweya. Kune muviri wechisikirwo, uye kune muviri wemweya.
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 Zvakanyorwawo saizvozvo zvichinzi: Munhu wekutanga Adhamu wakaitwa munhu anorarama; Adhamu wekupedzisira mweya unoraramisa.
So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 Asi zvinotanga hazvisi zvemweya asi zvechisikirwo; tevere zvemweya.
However that which is spiritual is not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
47 Munhu wekutanga wakabva panyika, ndewevhu; munhu wechipiri ndiIshe anobva kudenga.
The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is from heaven.
48 Sewevhu, vakadarowo avo vevhu; uye sewekudenga, vakadarowo vekudenga.
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 sezvatakatakura chimiro chewevhu, tichatakurawo chimiro chewekudenga.
As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let us also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Zvino ndinoreva izvi, hama, kuti nyama neropa hazvingagoni kugara nhaka yeushe hwaMwari; nokuora hakungagari nhaka yekusaora.
Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Tarirai, ndinokuudzai chakavanzika: Hatingavati tese, asi tichashandurwa tese;
Look, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 nenguva diki-diki, mukuhwaira kweziso, pahwamanda yekupedzisira; nokuti hwamanda icharira, uye vakafa vachamutswa mukusaora, nesu tichashandurwa.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
53 Nokuti ichi chinoora chinofanira kupfeka kusaora, neichi chinofa chipfeke kusafa.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 Zvino kana ichi chinoora chapfeka kusaora, neichi chinofa chapfeka kusafa, ipapo kuchaitika shoko rakanyorwa rinoti: Rufu rwakamedzwa mukukunda.
But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."
"Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?" (Hadēs g86)
56 Rumborera rwerufu chivi, nesimba rechivi murairo.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 Zvino ngaavongwe Mwari anotipa kukunda naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, simbai, musingazungunuswi, nguva dzese muchiwedzerwa pabasa raIshe muchiziva kuti kubata kwenyu hakusi pasina muna Ishe.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
