1 Korintofoɔ 15
1 Afei, anuanom, mepɛ sɛ mekae mo adwene fa Asɛmpa a meka kyerɛɛ mo no a mogye too mu, nam so maa mo gyidie mu yɛɛ den no ho.
Bazalwane, ngithanda ukulikhumbuza ngevangeli engalitshumayela kini, elalamukelayo njalo eselimi ngalo.
2 Ɛno ne Asɛmpa a meka kyerɛɛ mo no. Sɛ mokura Asɛmpa no mu denden a, mobɛnya nkwa, gye sɛ moannye anni.
Ngalelivangeli liyasindiswa, nxa libambelela elizwini engalitshumayela kini. Nxa kungenjalo, selikholwe ize.
3 Mekaa asɛm a meteeɛ a ɛho hia yie no kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, yɛn bɔne enti na Kristo wuiɛ sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ no Atwerɛsɛm mu sɛ,
Ngoba engakwamukelayo lami ngakudlulisela kini njengokuqakatheke kakhulu: ukuthi uKhristu wafela izono zethu mayelana lemibhalo,
4 wɔsiee no, na ne nnansa so no, ɔsɔre firii awufoɔ mu sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu sɛ,
lokuthi wangcwatshwa, lokuthi wavuswa kwabafileyo ngosuku lwesithathu njengokutsho kwemibhalo,
5 ɔdaa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Petro ne asomafoɔ dumienu no nyinaa.
kanye lokuthi wabonakala kuKhefasi, wasebonakala kwabalitshumi lambili.
6 Afei, mpofirim, ɔdaa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ nʼakyidifoɔ bɛboro ahanum a wɔn mu bi te ase na wɔn mu bi nso awuwu.
Emva kwalokho wabonakala kubazalwane abadlula amakhulu amahlanu sikhathi sinye, inengi labo lilokhu lisaphila, lanxa abanye sebalala.
7 Afei, ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Yakobo ne asomafoɔ no nyinaa.
Wabuya wabonakala kuJakhobe, wasebonakala kubapostoli bonke,
8 Akyire no koraa, ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me a meyɛ obi a wɔanwo me ntɛm.
kwathi ekucineni wabonakala kimi futhi, njengalowo ozelwe ngendlela engajayelekanga.
9 Meyɛ obi a mesua koraa wɔ asomafoɔ no mu na memfata mpo sɛ wɔfrɛ me ɔsomafoɔ ɛfiri sɛ, metaa Onyankopɔn asafo.
Ngoba mina ngingomncane kubapostoli njalo kangifanelanga lokuthiwa ngingumpostoli ngoba ngahlukuluza ibandla likaNkulunkulu.
10 Nanso, Onyankopɔn adom enti, mete sɛ deɛ mete no ara na adom a ɔde dom me no aboa me yie. Ama matumi ayɛ adwuma denden asene asomafoɔ a aka no nyinaa a ɛmfiri mʼankasa mʼahoɔden mu, na mmom Onyankopɔn adom no na ɛredi dwuma wɔ me mu.
Kodwa ngenxa yomusa kaNkulunkulu ngiyilokhu engiyikho njalo umusa wakhe kawubanga yize kimi. Hatshi, mina ngasebenza kakhulu kulabo bonke, kungayisimi belo kodwa kungumusa kaNkulunkulu owawukimi.
11 Enti, sɛ ɛfiri me anaa ɛfiri wɔn no, Asɛmpa a yɛn nyinaa ka ni, na ɛno nso na mogye di.
Ngakho langabe kwakuyimi loba kuyibo, lokhu yikho esikutshumayelayo njalo lokhu yikho elakukholwayo.
12 Afei, sɛdeɛ Asɛmpa no ka sɛ wɔama Kristo asɔre afiri awufoɔ mu no, adɛn na mo mu bi tumi ka sɛ wɔrentumi mma awufoɔ nsɔre?
Kodwa nxa kutshunyayelwa ukuthi uKhristu wavuswa kwabafileyo, pho bangakutsho kanjani abanye benu ukuthi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo na?
13 Sɛ saa yɛ nokorɛ deɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔamma Kristo ansɔre amfiri awufoɔ mu.
Nxa kungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, loKhristu kavuswanga phela.
14 Na sɛ wɔamma Kristo ansɔre amfiri awufoɔ mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, yɛnni asɛm biara ka, na mo nso monni asɛm biara a mobɛgye adi.
Njalo nxa uKhristu engavuswanga, ukutshumayela kwethu akusizi lutho njalo lunjalo lokholo lwenu.
15 Ɛno akyi koraa na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, yɛredi atorɔ fa Onyankopɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛka sɛ ɔno na ɔnyanee Kristo firii awufoɔ mu. Na sɛ awufoɔ ntumi nsɔre a, ɛnneɛ na wɔamma Kristo nso ansɔre amfiri awufoɔ mu.
Phezu kwalokho, singatholakala singofakazi bamanga ngoNkulunkulu ngoba sifakaze ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi wavusa uKhristu kwabafileyo. Kodwa kamvusanga nxa ngempela abafileyo bengayi kuvuswa.
16 Sɛ awufoɔ ntumi nsɔre a, na Kristo nso ansɔre.
Nxa abafileyo bengayi kuvuswa, ngakho loKhristu kavuswanga.
17 Na sɛ wɔamma Kristo ansɔre amfiri awufoɔ mu a, na mo gyidie no yɛ nnaadaa, na moda so yera wɔ mo bɔne mu.
Nxa uKhristu engavuswanga kwabafileyo ukholo lwenu luyize; lilokhu lisezonweni zenu.
18 Ɛsane kyerɛ sɛ, wɔn a na wɔgye Kristo di a wɔawuwu no ayera.
Lalabo abafa bekuKhristu balahlekile phela.
19 Na sɛ yɛn anidasoɔ wɔ Kristo mu no yɛ ma saa asetena yi nko ara a, ɛnneɛ na yɛyɛ mmɔbɔ sene obiara a ɔwɔ ewiase ha.
Nxa sithembele kuKhristu kulokhukuphila kuphela, sizazwelwa usizi kakhulu kulabantu bonke.
20 Nanso, nokorɛ a ɛwom ne sɛ, wɔama Kristo asɔre afiri awufoɔ mu de ahyɛ mo den sɛ wɔn a wɔadeda wɔ owuo mu no, wɔbɛma wɔasɔresɔre.
Kodwa ngempela uKhristu wavuswa kwabafileyo, izithelo zakuqala zalabo asebelele.
21 Na sɛdeɛ owuo nam onipa so baeɛ no, saa ara nso na owusɔreɛ nam onipa so ba.
Ngoba njengoba ukufa kweza ngomuntu, ukuvuka kwabafileyo lakho kuza ngomuntu.
22 Owuo nam Adam so baa yɛn nyinaa so; saa ara nso na Kristo de nkwa brɛɛ yɛn nyinaa.
Ngoba njengoba ku-Adamu bonke besifa, ngokunjalo kuKhristu bonke bazaphiliswa.
23 Nanso, biribiara bɛyɛ nnidisoɔ nnidisoɔ a Kristo na ɔbɛdi ɛkan, na sɛ Kristo di ɛkan ba bio a, wɔn a wɔyɛ ne deɛ no nso adi akyire.
Kodwa yilowo lalowo ngethuba lakhe: UKhristu, oyizithelo zakuqala; kuzakuthi ekubuyeni kwakhe, kuvuke labo abangabakhe.
24 Afei sɛ Kristo sɛe ahonhom mu atumfoɔ, ahoɔden ne tumi nyinaa a, awieeɛ no bɛba, na ɔde Ahennie no ama Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ Agya no.
Lapho-ke isiphetho sizafika esenikela umbuso kaNkulunkulu uBaba emva kokuba esechithe imibuso yonke, ubukhosi kanye lamandla.
25 Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Kristo di ɔhene kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛdi nʼatamfoɔ nyinaa so na ɔde wɔn ahyɛ ne nan ase.
Ngoba kumele abuse uNkulunkulu aze azibeke zonke izitha zakhe ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
26 Ɔtamfoɔ a ɔtwa toɔ a ɔbɛdi ne so ne owuo.
Isitha sokucina esizachithwa, yikufa.
27 Sɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɔde nneɛma nyinaa bɛhyɛ ne tumi ase a,” wɔmmfa Onyankopɔn nka ho. Ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔde nneɛma nyinaa hyɛɛ Kristo tumi ase.
Ngoba uNkulunkulu “usebeke izinto zonke ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.” Kodwa nxa kuthiwa “izinto zonke” sezibekwe ngaphansi kwakhe, kusobala ukuthi lokhu akugoqeli uNkulunkulu yena ngokwakhe, owabeka izinto zonke ngaphansi kukaKhristu.
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.
Lapho esekwenzile lokhu, iNdodana uqobo izakuba ngaphansi kwakhe yena owabeka izinto zonke ngaphansi kwakhe, ukuze uNkulunkulu abe yikho konke, kukho konke.
29 Sɛ owusɔreɛ nni hɔ a, anka wɔn a wɔbɔ awufoɔ din bɔ asu no bɛyɛ dɛn? Wɔn adwene ne sɛn? Sɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ deɛ wɔka sɛ, wɔnnyane awufoɔ mma nkwa mu a, adɛn enti na wɔbɔ awufoɔ din bɔ wɔn asu?
Nxa kungelakuvuka ekufeni, pho bazakwenzani labo ababhaphathizelwe abafileyo na? Nxa abafileyo bengavuswa, pho kungani abantu bebhaphathizwa ngenxa yabo na?
30 Na adɛn na dɔnhwereɛ biara yɛde yɛn ho to amaneɛ mu?
Thina-ke, sizifakelani engozini isikhathi sonke na?
31 Anuanom, dɔnhwereɛ biara mehyia owuo. Esiane Yesu enti, ahohoahoa a mewɔ wɔ mo mu, na ɛma me ka yei.
Mina ngifa nsuku zonke, ngitsho khonokho bazalwane, ngeqiniso engiziqhenya ngalo ngani kuKhristu uJesu iNkosi yethu.
32 Modwene sɛ mfasoɔ bɛn na menyaa wɔ ɔko a me ne “nkekaboa” koo wɔ Efeso no? Na sɛ awufoɔ nsɔre mma nkwa mu a, ɛnneɛ “Momma yɛnnidi na yɛnnom, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkyena yɛbɛwu” sɛdeɛ wɔka no.
Nxa ngalwa lezilo zeganga e-Efesu ngenxa yabantu, ngazuzani na? Nxa abafileyo bengavuswa, “Kasidleni sinathe, ngoba kusasa sizakufa.”
33 “Mommma wɔnnnaadaa mo. Nkɔmmɔ bɔne sɛe ɔbra pa.”
Lingedukiswa: “Abangane ababi bayasona isimilo esihle.”
34 Monyɛ mo asɛdeɛ na monnyae mo akwammɔne no. Meka yei de hyɛ mo aniwuo sɛ mo mu bi nnim Onyankopɔn.
Khumbulani ngengqondo zenu njengokumele likwenze, licine ukwenza izono; ngoba kulabanye abangamaziyo uNkulunkulu, ngitsho lokhu ukuze libelenhloni.
35 Obi bɛbisa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wɔbɛtumi ama awufoɔ asɔre aba nkwa mu? Wɔbɛyɛ onipadua su bɛn?”
Kodwa omunye angabuza athi, “Abafileyo bavuswa njani na? Bazabuya belemizimba enjani na?”
36 Ɔkwasea! Sɛ wodua aba wɔ fam a, gye sɛ ɛwu ansa na afifiri.
Yeka ubuwula! Elikuhlanyelayo akuphili ngaphandle kokuba kufe.
37 Na deɛ wodua wɔ fam no, ɛnyɛ dua, na mmom ɛyɛ awi aba anaasɛ aba foforɔ bi.
Lapho lihlanyela, kalihlanyeli umzimba ozakuba khona kodwa inhlanyelo nje, mhlawumbe eyengqoloyi loba okunye lakho.
38 Bɔbea a Onyankopɔn adwene ho sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde bɔ aba no na ɔde bɔ no; ɔma aba biara bɔbea a ɛfata no.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu uyinika umzimba njengokuthanda kwakhe njalo uhlobo ngalunye lwenhlanyelo ulunika umzimba walo.
39 Honam a ɛkata ateasefoɔ ho no nyinaa nyɛ honam korɔ. Nnipa wɔ wɔn honam; mmoa wɔ wɔn deɛ; nnomaa wɔ wɔn deɛ ɛnna nsuomnam nso wɔ wɔn deɛ.
Inyama yonke kayifanani: Abantu balohlobo lunye lwenyama, izinyamazana zilolunye, izinyoni olunye lenhlanzi olunye.
40 Ɔsoro onipadua wɔ hɔ, ɛnna ɛfam onipadua nso wɔ hɔ. Ahoɔfɛ bi wɔ hɔ ma ɔsoro onipadua nko ara, ɛnna ahoɔfɛ bi nso wɔ hɔ ma ɛfam onipadua.
Njalo kulezidalwa zasezulwini lezidalwa zasemhlabeni; kodwa inkazimulo yezidalwa zasezulwini ingolunye uhlobo, lenkazimulo yezidalwa zasemhlabeni ingolunye.
41 Owia wɔ nʼankasa nʼahoɔfɛ. Ɔsrane wɔ ne deɛ nko; nsoromma ahoɔfɛ gu ahodoɔ; na nsoromma no mu nso wɔwɔ ahoɔfɛ su ahodoɔ.
Ilanga lilolunye uhlobo lwenkazimulo, inyanga olunye lezinkanyezi olunye; njalo inkanyezi iyehluka kwenye inkanyezi ngokukhazimula.
42 Sɛ wɔma awufoɔ sɔre ba nkwa mu a, saa ara na ɛbɛba. Sɛ wɔsie onipadua no a, ɛporɔ; wɔma ɛsɔre nso a ɛmporɔ.
Kuzakuba njalo-ke ngokuvuka kwabafileyo. Umzimba ohlanyelwayo uyabola, uvuswa ungasaboli;
43 Sɛ wɔsie onipadua a, ɛyɛ tan na ɛyɛ mmerɛ, nanso sɛ wɔma ɛsɔre a, ɛyɛ fɛ na ɛnya ahoɔden.
uhlanyelwa useyiswa, uvuswe ngenkazimulo; uhlanyelwa ubuthakathaka,
44 Sɛ wɔsie onipadua no a, ɛyɛ honam na sɛ wɔma ɛsɔre a, ɛyɛ honhom. Ɔhonam wɔ hɔ enti ɛsɛ sɛ honhom nso wɔ hɔ.
uvuswe usungumzimba olamandla. Nxa kulomzimba wemvelo, ukhona njalo lomzimba womoya.
45 Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Adam a ɔyɛ nnipa nyinaa kannifoɔ no, wɔbɔɔ no sɛ onipa ɔteasefoɔ”; nanso Adam a ɔtwa toɔ no yɛ Honhom a ɔma nkwa.
Ngakho kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Umuntu wakuqala u-Adamu waba yisidalwa esiphilayo”; kodwa u-Adamu wokucina waba ngumoya ophilisayo.
46 Ɛnyɛ honhom mo ni na ɔbaa kane. Ɔbaa deɛ ɔkura honam fam onipadua no akyi.
Owomoya kafikanga kuqala, kodwa owemvelo, emva kwalokho kwafika owomoya.
47 Wɔde fam mfuturo na ɛbɔɔ Adam a ɔdi ɛkan no. Adam a ɔtɔ so mmienu no firi ɔsoro.
Umuntu wakuqala wayenziwe ngothuli lomhlabathi; umuntu wesibili wavela ezulwini.
48 Wɔn a wɔte asase so no te sɛ deɛ wɔde dɔteɛ bɔɔ no no; na wɔn a wɔyɛ ɔsoro mma no te sɛ wɔn a wɔfiri ɔsoro.
Njengoba wayenjalo umuntu wasemhlabeni, banjalo lalabo abangabomhlaba; njalo njengoba enjalo umuntu ovela ezulwini, banjalo labo abangabasezulwini.
49 Sɛdeɛ yɛte sɛ nnipa a wɔde dɔteɛ bɔɔ yɛn no, saa ara na yɛbɛyɛ sɛ onipa a ɔfiri ɔsoro no.
Njalo njengoba silesimo somuntu wasemhlabeni, ngokunjalo sizakuba lesimo somuntu ovela ezulwini.
50 Anuanom, deɛ mepɛ sɛ mekyerɛ ne sɛ, deɛ wɔde honam ne mogya ayɛ no nni kyɛfa wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu; na deɛ ɛporɔ no ntumi ntena hɔ.
Bazalwane, ngithi kini inyama legazi akungeke kudle ilifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu, lokubolayo akulidli ilifa lokungaboliyo.
51 Montie saa ahintasɛm yi: Yɛn nyinaa renwu, nanso ɛberɛ tiawa bi mu wɔbɛsakyera yɛn nyinaa;
Lalelani, ngilitshela imfihlakalo: Kasiyikufa sonke, kodwa sonke sizaguqulwa,
52 sɛ totorobɛnto a ɛtwa toɔ no bɔ a, nsakraeɛ no bɛyɛ anibueɛ. Sɛ ɛbɔ a, awufoɔ bɛdane ateasefoɔ na yɛn nyinaa bɛsakyera.
ngesikhatshana, ngokucwayiza kwelihlo, ngecilongo lokucina. Ngoba icilongo lizakhala, abafileyo bazavuswa bengabolanga, njalo sizaguqulwa.
53 Na deɛ ɛporɔ no de deɛ ɛmporɔ akata ne ho, na deɛ ɛwu no de deɛ ɛnwu akata ne ho.
Ngoba okubolayo kumele kuzigqokise ngokungaboliyo, lokufayo ngokungafiyo.
54 Enti deɛ ɛporɔ de deɛ ɛmporɔ kata ne ho na deɛ ɛbɛwu de deɛ ɛrenwu kata ne ho a, Atwerɛsɛm no bɛba mu sɛ, “Wɔasɛe owuo; nkonim aba!”
Nxa okubolayo sekugqokiswe okungaboliyo, lokufayo okungafiyo, kuzagcwaliseka isitsho esilotshiweyo esithi: “Ukufa kuginyiwe ekunqobeni.”
“Kungaphi, we kufa, ukunqoba kwakho? Lungaphi udonsi lwakho, we kufa?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Owuo nya ne tumi firi bɔne mu na bɔne nso nya ne tumi firi Mmara no mu.
Udonsi lokufa yisono, lamandla esono ngumthetho.
57 Nanso, yɛda Onyankopɔn a ɔnam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo so ma yɛn tumi no ase!
Kodwa kabongwe uNkulunkulu! Uyasinika ukunqoba ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu.
58 Enti, me nuanom, monnyina pintinn. Ɛda biara monyɛ Awurade adwuma, ɛfiri sɛ, menim sɛ moyɛ Awurade adwuma a ɛrenyɛ ɔkwa da.
Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, manini liqine. Akungabi lalutho olulinyikinyayo. Zinikeleni ngokupheleleyo emsebenzini weNkosi izikhathi zonke ngoba liyakwazi ukuthi ukusebenza kwenu eNkosini akusilo ize.
