1 Corinthians 15
1 Zikhomba, ndikulu zabikisa ti Nsamu Wumboti wundilulonga, wowo lutambula ayi wowo luidi bakangama;
Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel that I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,
2 mu wawo lumvukila enati lulundidi wawu banga bu ndilulongila; vayi enati buawu ko, buna mu phamba kuandi luwilukila.
and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the message that I preached to you—unless you 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 as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 Niandi wuziku vayi wufulukusu mu lumbu kintatu, banga buididi masonoko.
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 Wumonika kuidi Piela, bosi wumonika kuidi kumi ayi bamvuala buadi.
and that he appeared to Cephas, and 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.
Next he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, but some have fallen asleep.
7 Bosi wumonika diaka kuidi Zaki ayi ku mbusa wumonika kuidi bamvuala boso.
Next he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
8 Bosi kunzimunina bawu boso wumonika kuidi minu, minu ndiba bangamuana wusuluka.
Last of all, as to one born at the wrong time, he appeared to me as well.
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, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church 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 the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
11 Buba minu voti bawu, buawu bobo tulongila ayi buabu luwilukila.
Whether then it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you have come to believe.
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 it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Bila enati kuisi ko mfulukulu yi bafua, buna Klisto mamvandi kasi fulukusu ko mu bafua.
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
14 Enati Klisto kasi fulukusu mu bafua ko, buna malongi meto madi maphamba ayi minu kieno kidi kiphamba.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain.
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.
We are even found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if indeed the dead are not raised.
16 Bila enati bafua balendi fuluka ko buna Klisto mamvandi kasi fulukusu ko.
For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised.
17 Enati Klisto kasi fulukusu ko buna minu kieno kidi kiphamba ayi buna lukidi mu masumu meno.
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
18 Ayi buna bobo bafuila mu Klisto batumbu zimbala.
Furthermore, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have also 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 for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 Vayi bukiedika, Klisto wufulukusu mu bafua ayi niandi mutu wutheti mu batu boso bafua.
But as it is, Christ has been raised from the dead; he has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 Bila banga lufua bu luyizila mu mutu wumosi buawu bobo diakamfulukulu mu bafua yiyizila mu mutu wumosi.
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man.
22 Bila batu boso beti fuila mu diambu di Adami, buawu bobo batu bosobela zingala mu diambu di Klisto.
For just as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ.
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 order: Christ the firstfruits, then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ.
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 comes the end, when he hands the kingdom over to God the Father, after he has abolished 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 has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Lufua luela ba mbeni yi tsuka mu bungu.
The last enemy to be abolished 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 God “has put everything in subjection under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything has been put in subjection,” it is evident that it does not include God himself, who put everything in subjection to Christ.
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.
Now when everything has been subjected to him, the Son himself will also be subjected to him who subjected everything to him, so 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?
Otherwise, what are people doing when they get baptized for the dead? If the dead are not actually raised, why are people getting baptized for them?
30 Bosi beto veka, bila mbi tunkadilanga ku tsi tsisi yi lufua mu zithangu zioso?
And why do we put ourselves in danger 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.
I die daily! Yes, just as surely as I boast about you 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 I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 Lubika vunuka bila kikundi kimbimbi kimbivisanga bifu bimboti.
Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
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.
Come to your senses, as is right, and stop sinning. For there are some who are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
35 Vayi mutu wulenda yuvula: lunitu mbi luela fulukila batu bafua e? Phila lunitu mbi bela bela?
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
36 O vungisi kio! Biobi weti kuna bilendi zinga ko enati bikadi fua.
Fool! What yoʋ sow does not come to life unless it dies.
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 yoʋ sow is not the body that will be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or some other grain.
38 Niandi veka Nzambi wumvananga dikundi beni lunitu boso bu katidilaayi kadika dikundi dibeki lunitu luandi.
But God gives it a body just as he has determined, and he gives 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.
Not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for fish, and another for birds.
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.
There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of heavenly bodies is one kind, and the glory of earthly bodies is another.
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.
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Bobo buela bela mfulukulu yi bafua. Nitu yeti bola yawuyikununu vayi yimfulukanga mu kambu buela bola.
So it is with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, but it is raised imperishable.
43 Yinkunungu mu kambu nzitusu vayi yimfulukanga mu nkembo; yinkunungu yilebakana vayi yimfulukanga ayi lulendo.
It is sown in dishonor; 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 as a natural body; it is raised as a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 Diawu disonimina ti: Adami, mutu wutheti, wukituka vangu ki moyo vayi Adami di tsuka, dikituka Pheve yivananga luzingu.
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 Bikiphevi bisia ba bitheti ko vayi bi kimutu biawu bieti ba bitheti bosi bi kiphevi biawu binzimuninanga.
However, the spiritual body is not first, but the natural body, then the spiritual body.
47 Mutu wutheti wuvangulu mu mbungi-mbungi yi ntoto vayi “mutuwumuadi” ku Diyilu kaba.
The first man was from the earth, made of dust; the second man is the Lord from 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.
As was the man made of dust, so are those made of dust; and as is the heavenly man, so are those who are heavenly.
49 Banga bu tunata mfikula yi mutu wuvangulu mu mbungi-mbungi yi ntoto buawu bobo tuela natina mfikula yi mutu wuba ku diyilu.
Just as we have borne the image of the man made of dust, let us also bear the image of the heavenly man.
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.
Now I tell you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
51 Tala, ndieka kulukamba ditsueki dimosi: Beto babo tulendi mana fuako, vayi tuela kitulu
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will 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 call. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53 Bila biobi bimbolanga bifueti vuata biobi kabibolanga ko ayi biobi bimfuanga bifueti vuata biobi kabifuanga ko.
For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must 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.
Now when this perishable body has put on imperishability, and this mortal body has put on immortality, then this saying that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
“O Death, where is yoʋr sting? O Hades, where is yoʋr 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 is the law.
57 Matondo kuidi Nzambi bila niandi wukutuvananga ndungunu mu Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto.
But thanks be to God, who gives us victory through 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 brothers, be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
