1 Korintofo 15
1 Afei anuanom, mepɛ sɛ mekae mo adwene fa Asɛmpa a meka kyerɛɛ mo no a mugye too mu, nam so maa mo gyidi mu yɛɛ den no ho.
And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you also received, in which you also have stood,
2 Ɛno ne Asɛmpa a meka kyerɛɛ mo no. Sɛ mukura asɛmpa yi mu dennen a, mubenya nkwa; gye sɛ moannye anni.
through which you are also being saved, if you hold fast [to] the word—what I proclaimed as good news to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 Mekaa asɛm a metee a ɛho hia yiye no kyerɛɛ mo se, yɛn bɔne nti na Kristo wui, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw no Kyerɛwsɛm no mu se
For I delivered to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Writings,
4 wosiee no, na ne nnansa so no, ɔsɔre fii awufo mu sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka no,
and that He was buried, and that He has risen on the third day according to the Writings,
5 ɔdaa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Petro ne asomafo dumien no nyinaa.
and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve,
6 Afei mpofirim, ɔdaa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ nʼakyidifo bɛboro ahannum a wɔn mu bi te ase na wɔn mu bi nso awuwu.
afterward He appeared to above five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, and some also fell asleep;
7 Afei oyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Yakobo ne asomafo no nyinaa.
afterward He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
8 Akyiri no koraa na oyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me a meyɛ obi a wɔanwo me ntɛm.
And last of all—as to the untimely birth—He also appeared to me,
9 Meyɛ obi a misua koraa wɔ asomafo no mu na memfata mpo sɛ wɔfrɛ me ɔsomafo efisɛ metaa Onyankopɔn asafo.
for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Assembly of God,
10 Nanso Onyankopɔn adom nti, mete sɛnea mete no ara na adom a ɔde dom me no aboa me yiye. Ama matumi ayɛ adwuma dennen asen asomafo a aka no nyinaa a emfi mʼankasa mʼahoɔden mu, na mmom Onyankopɔn adom no na ɛredi dwuma wɔ me mu.
and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] toward me did not come in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] with me;
11 Enti sɛ efi me anaa efi wɔn no, Asɛmpa a yɛn nyinaa ka ni, na ɛno nso na mugye di.
whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
12 Afei sɛnea Asɛmpa no ka sɛ wɔama Kristo asɔre afi awufo mu no, adɛn na mo mu bi tumi ka se wɔrentumi mma awufo nsɔre?
And if Christ is preached, that He has risen out of the dead, how [do] certain among you say that there is no resurrection of [the] dead?
13 Sɛ saa yɛ nokware de a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔamma Kristo ansɔre amfi awufo mu.
And if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither has Christ risen;
14 Na sɛ wɔamma Kristo ansɔre amfi awufo mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, yenni asɛm biara ka, na mo nso munni asɛm biara a mubegye adi.
and if Christ has not risen, then our preaching [is] void, and your faith [is] also void,
15 Ɛno akyi koraa na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, yɛredi atoro afa Onyankopɔn ho, efisɛ yɛka se ɔno na onyan Kristo fii awufo mu. Na sɛ awufo ntumi nsɔre a, ɛno de na wɔamma Kristo nso ansɔre amfi awufo mu.
and we are also found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
16 Sɛ awufo ntumi nsɔre a, na Kristo nso ansɔre.
for if dead persons do not rise, neither has Christ risen,
17 Na sɛ wɔamma Kristo ansɔre amfi awufo mu a, na mo gyidi no yɛ nnaadaa, na moda so yera wɔ mo bɔne mu.
and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins;
18 Ɛsan kyerɛ sɛ, wɔn a na wogye Kristo di a wɔawuwu no ayera.
then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ perished;
19 Na sɛ yɛn anidaso wɔ Kristo mu no ye ma saa asetena yi nko ara a, ɛno de na yɛyɛ mmɔbɔ sen obiara a ɔwɔ wiase ha.
if we only have hope in Christ in this life, we are to be most pitied of all men.
20 Nanso nokware a ɛwɔ mu ne sɛ, wɔama Kristo asɔre afi awufo mu de ahyɛ mo den sɛ wɔn a wɔadeda wɔ owu mu no, wɔbɛma wɔasɔresɔre.
And now, Christ has risen out of the dead—He became the first-fruits of those sleeping,
21 Na sɛnea owu nam onipa so bae no, saa ara nso na owusɔre nam onipa so ba.
for since through man [is] death, also through Man [is] a resurrection of the dead,
22 Owu nam Adam so baa yɛn nyinaa so; saa ara nso na Kristo de nkwa brɛɛ yɛn nyinaa.
for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all will be made alive,
23 Nanso, biribiara bɛyɛ nnidiso nnidiso a Kristo na obedi kan, na sɛ Kristo di kan ba bio a, wɔn a wɔyɛ ne de no nso adi akyi.
and each in his proper order: Christ, a first-fruit, afterward those who are the Christ’s in His coming,
24 Afei, sɛ Kristo sɛe ahonhom mu atumfo ahoɔden ne tumi nyinaa a, awiei no bɛba, na ɔde Ahenni no ama Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ Agya no.
then—the end, when He may deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He may have made all rule useless, and all authority and power.
25 Efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ Kristo di hene kosi sɛ obedi nʼatamfo nyinaa so na ɔde wɔn ahyɛ nʼanan ase.
For it is necessary for Him to reign until He may have put all the enemies under His feet.
26 Ɔtamfo a obedi ne so atwa to ne owu.
The last enemy is done away with—death.
27 Sɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Ɔde nneɛma nyinaa bɛhyɛ ne tumi ase a,” wɔmmfa Onyankopɔn nka ho. Ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔde nneɛma nyinaa hyɛɛ Kristo tumi ase.
For He put all things under His feet, and when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who subjected all things to Him,
28 Na sɛ wɔde nneɛma nyinaa hyɛ Kristo tumi ase a, ɔno ankasa a ɔyɛ Ɔba no de ne ho bɛhyɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔde nneɛma nyinaa hyɛɛ ne Ba no tumi ase no ase; na Onyankopɔn adi biribiara so.
and when all things may be subjected to Him, then also the Son Himself will be subject to Him, who subjected to Him all things, that God may be the all in all.
29 Sɛ owusɔre nni hɔ a, anka wɔn a wɔbɔ awufo din bɔ asu no bɛyɛ dɛn? Wɔn adwene ne dɛn? Sɛ ɛyɛ nokware sɛ nea wɔka se, wonnyan awufo mma nkwa mu a, adɛn nti na wɔbɔ awufo din bɔ wɔn asu?
Seeing what will they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they also immersed for the dead?
30 Na adɛn na dɔnhwerew biara yɛde yɛn ho to amane mu?
Why do we also stand in peril every hour?
31 Anuanom, da biara mihyia owu. Esiane Yesu nti, ahohoahoa a mewɔ wɔ mo mu no na ɛma meka eyi.
I die every day, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Na sɛ ako a me ne “nkekammoa” dii wɔ Efeso no mu anidaso mmoro nnipa de so a anka dɛn na manya? Na sɛ wonnyan awufo mma nkwa mu a, ɛno de “Momma yennidi na yɛnnom, efisɛ ɔkyena yebewu” sɛnea wɔka no.
If I fought with wild beasts in Ephesus after the manner of a man, what [is] the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!
33 “Mommma wɔnnnaadaa mo. Nkɔmmɔ bɔne sɛe ɔbra pa.”
Do not be led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
34 Momma mo ani mmra mo ho so sɛnea ɛsɛ na mumfi mo akwammɔne no so. Meka eyi de hyɛ mo aniwu sɛ mo mu ebinom nnim Onyankopɔn.
wake up, as is right, and do not sin; for some have an ignorance of God; I say [it] to you for shame.
35 Obi bebisa se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wobetumi ama awufo asɔre aba nkwa mu? Wɔde nipaduasu bɛn na ɛbɛba?”
But someone will say, “How do the dead rise?”
36 Ɔkwasea! Sɛ wodua aba wɔ fam a, gye sɛ ewu ansa na afifi.
Unwise! You—what you sow is not quickened except it may die;
37 Na nea wodua wɔ fam no yɛ aba kɛkɛ; ebia ɛyɛ ɔmo aba anaa aba foforo a ɛnyɛ afifide no a wɔatu atɛw a, ebenyin.
and that which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of someone of the others,
38 Bɔbea a Onyankopɔn adwene ho sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde bɔ aba no na ɔde bɔ no; ɔma aba biara bɔbea a ɛfata no.
and God gives a body to it according as He willed, and its proper body to each of the seeds.
39 Honam a ɛkata ateasefo ho no nyinaa nyɛ honam koro. Nnipa wɔ honam baako; mmoa wɔ wɔn de; nnomaa wɔ wɔn de na nsumnam nso wɔ wɔn de.
All flesh [is] not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds;
40 Ɔsoro nipadua wɔ hɔ na fam nipadua nso wɔ hɔ. Ahoɔfɛ bi wɔ hɔ ma ɔsoro nipadua nko ara, na ahoɔfɛ bi nso wɔ hɔ ma fam nipadua.
and [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;
41 Owia wɔ nʼankasa ahoɔfɛ. Ɔsram wɔ ne de nko; nsoromma ahoɔfɛ gu ahorow; na nsoromma no mu nso wɔwɔ ahoɔfɛsu ahorow.
one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star differs from star in glory.
42 Sɛ wɔma awufo sɔre ba nkwa mu a, saa ara na ɛbɛba. Sɛ wosie nipadua no a, ɛporɔw; wɔma ɛsɔre nso a ɛmporɔw.
So also [is] the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
43 Sɛ wosie nipadua a, ɛyɛ tan na ɛyɛ mmerɛw, nanso sɛ wɔma ɛsɔre a, ɛyɛ fɛ na enya ahoɔden.
it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44 Sɛ wosie nipadua no a, ɛyɛ honam, na sɛ wɔma ɛsɔre a, ɛyɛ honhom. Ɔhonam wɔ hɔ enti ɛsɛ sɛ honhom nso wɔ hɔ.
it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;
45 Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Na Adam a odi kan no yɛ onipa teasefo” nanso Adam a otwa to no yɛ Honhom a ɔma nkwa.
so also it has been written: “The first man Adam became a living creature,” the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,
46 Ɛnyɛ honhom muni na ɔbaa kan. Ɔbaa wɔ nea okura honam fam nipadua no akyi.
but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterward that which [is] spiritual.
47 Wɔde fam mfutuma na ɛbɔɔ Adam a odi kan no. Adam a ɔto so abien no fi ɔsoro.
The first man [is] out of the earth—earthly; the second Man [is] the LORD out of Heaven;
48 Wɔn a wɔte asase so no te sɛ nea wɔde dɔte bɔɔ no no; na wɔn a wɔyɛ ɔsoro mma no te sɛ wɔn a wofi ɔsoro.
as [is] the earthly, such [are] also the earthly; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;
49 Sɛnea yɛte sɛ nnipa a wɔde dɔte bɔɔ yɛn no, saa ara na yɛbɛyɛ sɛ onipa a ofi ɔsoro no.
and according as we bore the image of the earthly, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Anuanom, nea mepɛ sɛ mekyerɛ ne sɛ, nea wɔde honam ne mogya ayɛ no nni kyɛfa wɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni no mu; na nea ɛporɔw no ntumi ntena hɔ.
And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the corruption inherit the incorruption.
51 Muntie saa ahintasɛm yi: Yɛn nyinaa renwu, nanso bere tiaa bi mu, wɔbɛsakra yɛn nyinaa;
Behold, I tell you a secret: we indeed will not all sleep, but we will all be changed;
52 sɛ torobɛnto a etwa to no bɔ a, nsakrae no bɛyɛ anibuei. Sɛ ɛbɔ a, awufo bɛdan ateasefo na yɛn nyinaa bɛsakra.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed;
53 Na nea ɛporɔw no de nea ɛmporɔw akata ne ho, na nea ewu no de nea enwu akata ne ho.
for it is necessary for this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;
54 Enti nea ɛporɔw de nea ɛmporɔw kata ne ho na nea ebewu de nea ɛrenwu kata ne ho a, Kyerɛwsɛm no bɛba mu se, “Wɔasɛe owu; nkonim aba!”
and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the word that has been written: “Death was swallowed up—to victory;
Where, O Death, your sting? Where, O Death [[or Hades]], your victory?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Owu nya ne tumi fi bɔne mu na bɔne nso nya ne tumi fi mmara no mu.
And the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the Law;
57 Nanso yɛda Onyankopɔn a ɔnam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo so ma yɛn tumi no ase!
and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
58 Enti me nuanom, munnyina pintinn. Mommma biribiara nhinhim mo. Da biara monyɛ Awurade adwuma, efisɛ munim sɛ moyɛ Awurade adwuma a ɛrenyɛ ɔkwa da.
so that, my beloved brothers, become steadfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the LORD at all times, knowing that your labor in the LORD is not vain.
