1 Corinthians 15
1 Zikhomba, ndikulu zabikisa ti Nsamu Wumboti wundilulonga, wowo lutambula ayi wowo luidi bakangama;
But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,
2 mu wawo lumvukila enati lulundidi wawu banga bu ndilulongila; vayi enati buawu ko, buna mu phamba kuandi luwilukila.
by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings, ) unless indeed ye have believed in vain.
3 Bila, va theti minu, ndilulonga mambu momo minu veka nditambula: Klisto wufua mu diambu di masumu meto, banga busonimina mu Masonoko.
For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 Niandi wuziku vayi wufulukusu mu lumbu kintatu, banga buididi masonoko.
and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
5 Wumonika kuidi Piela, bosi wumonika kuidi kumi ayi bamvuala buadi.
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 Bosi wumonika kuidi zikhama zi tanu zi bakhomba mu khumbu yimosi; bawombo mu bawu bammona bakidi zingi nate buabu, vayi ndambu mu bawu bafua.
Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.
7 Bosi wumonika diaka kuidi Zaki ayi ku mbusa wumonika kuidi bamvuala boso.
Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
8 Bosi kunzimunina bawu boso wumonika kuidi minu, minu ndiba bangamuana wusuluka.
and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to me also.
9 Bila minu ndutidi keva mu bamvuala boso ayi ndisi fuana ko mu tedolo mvuala bila ndiyamisa Dibundu di Nzambi.
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.
10 Vayi mu nlemvo wu Nzambi; ndidi buabu mu phila yi ndididi, ayi nlemvo wowo mu minu wisi wuphamba ko bila mu bamvuala boso minu ndiluta sala. Vayi mu kiedika minuꞌama ko ndisala vayi nlemvo wu Nzambi wowo widi mu minu.
But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which [was] towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not I, but the grace of God which [was] with me.
11 Buba minu voti bawu, buawu bobo tulongila ayi buabu luwilukila.
Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.
12 Enati beta longa ti Klisto wufulukusu mu bafua, vayi buna bilambi batu bankaka mu beno balembo tubila ti kuisi ko mfulukulu yi bafua?
Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among [the] dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead?
13 Bila enati kuisi ko mfulukulu yi bafua, buna Klisto mamvandi kasi fulukusu ko mu bafua.
But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:
14 Enati Klisto kasi fulukusu mu bafua ko, buna malongi meto madi maphamba ayi minu kieno kidi kiphamba.
but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.
15 Buna tueka monika ti tuidi bambangi ba luvunu zi Nzambi bila beto tutelimina Nzambi kimbangi ti niandi wufulukisa Klisto mu bafua; mutu wowo kakambu kuandi fulukisa enati bukiedika bafua balendi fuluka ko.
And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed [those that are] dead are not raised.
16 Bila enati bafua balendi fuluka ko buna Klisto mamvandi kasi fulukusu ko.
For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;
17 Enati Klisto kasi fulukusu ko buna minu kieno kidi kiphamba ayi buna lukidi mu masumu meno.
but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Ayi buna bobo bafuila mu Klisto batumbu zimbala.
Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Ayi enati diana dieto mu Klisto didi kaka mu diambu di luzingu lualu, buna beto tulutidi batu ba kiadi mu batu boso.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.
20 Vayi bukiedika, Klisto wufulukusu mu bafua ayi niandi mutu wutheti mu batu boso bafua.
(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
21 Bila banga lufua bu luyizila mu mutu wumosi buawu bobo diakamfulukulu mu bafua yiyizila mu mutu wumosi.
For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.
22 Bila batu boso beti fuila mu diambu di Adami, buawu bobo batu bosobela zingala mu diambu di Klisto.
For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.
23 Vayi kadika mutu mu yandi thangu: Klisto niandi wutheti mu fuluka mu babo; bosi batu bobo bavuiwulu kuidi Klisto mu thangu niandi kela kuiza.
But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.
24 Buna bosi ku tsuka mu thangu Klisto kela vutula Kipfumu kuidi Nzambi Tata, bu kela mana bivisa bipfumu bioso, lulendo loso ayi zingolo zioso.
Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him [who is] God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.
25 Bila kafueti kaka yala nate kela tula bambeni bandi zioso ku tsi bitambi biandi.
For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.
26 Lufua luela ba mbeni yi tsuka mu bungu.
[The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.
27 Bila: Nzambi wutula bima bioso ku tsi bitambi biandi. Vayi mu thangu masonoko mantuba ti bima bioso bidi ku tsi bitambi biandi, buna diodi dilembo monika ti botula kaka mutu wowo wumvana lulendo beni.
For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, [it is] evident that [it is] except him who put all things in subjection to him.
28 Vayi mu thangu bima bioso biela tulu ku tsi bitambi biandi, buna Muana mamvandi wela ba ku tsi minsua mi mutu wowo wumvana lulendolu yadila bima bioso muingi Nzambi kaba bibioso mu batu boso.
But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)
29 Buna mbi bela vanga bobo bambotokolongo mu diambu di bafua enati bukiedika bafua balendi fuluka ko e? Buna bila mbi beti botokolongo mu diambu di bafua e?
Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?
30 Bosi beto veka, bila mbi tunkadilanga ku tsi tsisi yi lufua mu zithangu zioso?
Why do we also endanger ourselves every hour?
31 Kadika lumbu minu ndimfikamanga lufua. Ndilukembi buawu beno bakhomba mu diambu di nkembo wowo widi yama mu diambu di kisalu ki Klisto Yesu, Pfumu eto.
Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Enati mu kimutu kaka ndinuanisina bibulu bi tsisi ku Efeso, buna ndandu mbi mbeki? Enati bafua balendi fuluka ko, buna bulutidi mboti “Tudia ayi tunua, bila mbazi tufuidi kueto”.
If, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
33 Lubika vunuka bila kikundi kimbimbi kimbivisanga bifu bimboti.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Luvutukila mayindu meno mamboti, bikanu vola masumu! Ndintubila bobo mu diambu di kulufuisa tsoni bila bankaka mu beno, balembo zingi banga ti basi zaba Nzambi ko.
Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.
35 Vayi mutu wulenda yuvula: lunitu mbi luela fulukila batu bafua e? Phila lunitu mbi bela bela?
But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
36 O vungisi kio! Biobi weti kuna bilendi zinga ko enati bikadi fua.
Fool; what thou sowest is not quickened unless it die.
37 Mu thangu wunkunanga, kadi sia ti lunitu luela baka kunusu luawu weti kuna vayi dikundi, dikundi di ble voti dikundi di kunusu kinkaka.
And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:
38 Niandi veka Nzambi wumvananga dikundi beni lunitu boso bu katidilaayi kadika dikundi dibeki lunitu luandi.
and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.
39 Bivangu bioso binzinga bisi lunitu lumosi ko bila luviakunu luidi ayi lunitu lu batu ayi lu bibulu; zinuni luawu lunkaka ayi zimbizi zi nlangu luawu.
Every flesh [is] not the same flesh, but one [is] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another [flesh] of birds, and another of fishes.
40 Zinitu zi diyilu zidi, zinitu zi kintoto zidi vayi kitoko ki zinitu zi diyilu kidi kiphila yinkaka ayi kitoko ki zinitu zi kintoto kidi ki phila yinkaka.
And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:
41 Bobuawu thangu beki kuandi kitoko ayi ngondi beki kuandi kitoko; zimbuetete zibeki kuawu kitoko ayi kitoko ki kadika mbuetete kuidi kuviakana ayi ku mbuetete yinkaka.
one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Bobo buela bela mfulukulu yi bafua. Nitu yeti bola yawuyikununu vayi yimfulukanga mu kambu buela bola.
Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
43 Yinkunungu mu kambu nzitusu vayi yimfulukanga mu nkembo; yinkunungu yilebakana vayi yimfulukanga ayi lulendo.
It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
44 Yinkunungu nitu yi kimutu, vayi yimfulukanga nitu yi kiphevi. Enati nitu yi kimutu yidi, buna nitu yi kiphevi yidi.
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [one].
45 Diawu disonimina ti: Adami, mutu wutheti, wukituka vangu ki moyo vayi Adami di tsuka, dikituka Pheve yivananga luzingu.
Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
46 Bikiphevi bisia ba bitheti ko vayi bi kimutu biawu bieti ba bitheti bosi bi kiphevi biawu binzimuninanga.
But that which is spiritual [was] not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
47 Mutu wutheti wuvangulu mu mbungi-mbungi yi ntoto vayi “mutuwumuadi” ku Diyilu kaba.
the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
48 Boso bubela mutu wu ntoto buawu buididi basi ntoto; banga bobobuididi mutu wowo wuba ku Diyilu buawu bobo buididi batu baba ku Diyilu.
Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].
49 Banga bu tunata mfikula yi mutu wuvangulu mu mbungi-mbungi yi ntoto buawu bobo tuela natina mfikula yi mutu wuba ku diyilu.
And as we have borne the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].
50 Zikhomba, diambu thidi tuba diawu diadi: nitu yidi nsuni ayi menga yilendi kota ko mu kipfumu ki Nzambi. Biobi bimbolanga bilendi baka buzingila mu zithangu zioso ko.
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
51 Tala, ndieka kulukamba ditsueki dimosi: Beto babo tulendi mana fuako, vayi tuela kitulu
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 mu kinzimbukila, mu thangu tulumbeta yi tsuka yela wakana. Bila tulumbeta bu yela wakana buna babo bafua bela fuluka mu zinitu ziozi kazibolanga ko vayi beto tuela kitulu.
in an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 Bila biobi bimbolanga bifueti vuata biobi kabibolanga ko ayi biobi bimfuanga bifueti vuata biobi kabifuanga ko.
For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
54 Mu thangu biobi bimbolanga biela vuata biobi kabibolanga ko ayi biobi bimfuanga biela vuata biobi kabifuanga ko buna mambu mama masonama masundukidi: Ndungunu yiminini lufua.
But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Masumu mawu ba ki lufua vayi zingolo zi masumu mu Mina zieti ba.
Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;
57 Matondo kuidi Nzambi bila niandi wukutuvananga ndungunu mu Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto.
but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Diawu bakhomba zi luzolo, luba bakinda, lubika nikuka; Lukiyekula mu sadila Pfumu mu zithangu zioso bila luzebi bumboti ti kisalu ki lunsala mu Pfumu kisi kiphamba ko.
So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in [the] Lord.
