1 Corinthians 15
1 Zikhomba, ndikulu zabikisa ti Nsamu Wumboti wundilulonga, wowo lutambula ayi wowo luidi bakangama;
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye have received, and in which 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 keep in memory what I preached to you, unless 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 first of all, that which I also 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 rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 Wumonika kuidi Piela, bosi wumonika kuidi kumi ayi bamvuala buadi.
And that he was seen by Cephas, then by 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.
After that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have fallen asleep.
7 Bosi wumonika diaka kuidi Zaki ayi ku mbusa wumonika kuidi bamvuala boso.
After that he was seen by James; then by all the apostles.
8 Bosi kunzimunina bawu boso wumonika kuidi minu, minu ndiba bangamuana wusuluka.
And last of all he was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
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 worthy 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 which [was bestowed] upon me, was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Buba minu voti bawu, buawu bobo tulongila ayi buabu luwilukila.
Therefore whether [it was] I or they, so we preach, and so ye 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 rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Bila enati kuisi ko mfulukulu yi bafua, buna Klisto mamvandi kasi fulukusu ko mu bafua.
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not raised.
14 Enati Klisto kasi fulukusu mu bafua ko, buna malongi meto madi maphamba ayi minu kieno kidi kiphamba.
And if Christ is not raised, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also 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.
And indeed we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified concerning God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if in truth the dead rise not.
16 Bila enati bafua balendi fuluka ko buna Klisto mamvandi kasi fulukusu ko.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 Enati Klisto kasi fulukusu ko buna minu kieno kidi kiphamba ayi buna lukidi mu masumu meno.
And if Christ is not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Ayi buna bobo bafuila mu Klisto batumbu zimbala.
Then they also 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 of all men most miserable.
20 Vayi bukiedika, Klisto wufulukusu mu bafua ayi niandi mutu wutheti mu batu boso bafua.
But now is Christ raised from the dead, [and] become the first-fruits of them that slept.
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 [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Bila batu boso beti fuila mu diambu di Adami, buawu bobo batu bosobela zingala mu diambu di Klisto.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all 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 every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are 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 [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down 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, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 Lufua luela ba mbeni yi tsuka mu bungu.
The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [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 hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under [him], [it is] manifest that he is excepted who did put all things under 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.
And when all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under 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?
Else what will they do, who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 Bosi beto veka, bila mbi tunkadilanga ku tsi tsisi yi lufua mu zithangu zioso?
And why stand we in jeopardy 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 protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
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 after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? 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 to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak [this] to your shame.
35 Vayi mutu wulenda yuvula: lunitu mbi luela fulukila batu bafua e? Phila lunitu mbi bela bela?
But some [man] 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.
[Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not vivified except 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 that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain; it may be of wheat, or of some other [grain]:
38 Niandi veka Nzambi wumvananga dikundi beni lunitu boso bu katidilaayi kadika dikundi dibeki lunitu luandi.
But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed 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.
All flesh [is] not the same flesh; but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of fowls.
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 celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [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, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.
42 Bobo buela bela mfulukulu yi bafua. Nitu yeti bola yawuyikununu vayi yimfulukanga mu kambu buela bola.
So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:
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 a natural body, it is raised 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 was made a living soul, the last Adam [was made] a vivifying spirit.
46 Bikiphevi bisia ba bitheti ko vayi bi kimutu biawu bieti ba bitheti bosi bi kiphevi biawu binzimuninanga.
However, that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 Mutu wutheti wuvangulu mu mbungi-mbungi yi ntoto vayi “mutuwumuadi” ku Diyilu kaba.
The first man [is] from the earth, earthy: 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 [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that 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.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
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 this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Tala, ndieka kulukamba ditsueki dimosi: Beto babo tulendi mana fuako, vayi tuela kitulu
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, 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 a moment, 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 put on incorruption, and this mortal [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.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Masumu mawu ba ki lufua vayi zingolo zi masumu mu Mina zieti ba.
The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.
57 Matondo kuidi Nzambi bila niandi wukutuvananga ndungunu mu Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto.
But thanks [be] to God, who giveth us the 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.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
