1 Corinthians 15
1 Ǹjẹ́ ará, èmi ń sọ ìyìnrere náà dí mí mọ̀ fún un yín, tí mo ti wàásù fún un yín, èyí tí ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ti gbá, nínú èyí tí ẹ̀yin sì dúró.
But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel that I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
2 Nípasẹ̀ ìyìnrere yìí ni a fi ń gbà yín là pẹ̀lú, bí ẹ̀yin bá di ọ̀rọ̀ ti mo ti wàásù fún yín mú ṣinṣin. Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ̀, ẹ̀yin kàn gbàgbọ́ lásán.
by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3 Nítorí èyí tí mo rí gbà ṣáájú ohun gbogbo ní èmi pẹ̀lú ti fi lé e yín lọ́wọ́, bí Kristi ti kú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwé mímọ́ tí wí.
For I delivered to you among the first things, that which I also received: That Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 Àti pé a sìnkú rẹ̀, àti pé ó jíǹde ní ọjọ́ kẹta gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ìwé Mímọ́ tí wí;
and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures;
5 àti pé ó farahàn Peteru, lẹ́yìn èyí, àwọn méjìlá.
and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve;
6 Lẹ́yìn èyí, ó farahàn àwọn ará tí o jú ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta lọ lẹ́ẹ̀kan náà; ọ̀pọ̀ nínú wọn wà títí fi di ìsinsin yìí, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn díẹ̀ ti sùn.
after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till this day; but some have fallen asleep.
7 Lẹ́yìn èyí ni ó farahan Jakọbu; lẹ́yìn náà fún gbogbo àwọn aposteli.
After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
8 Àti níkẹyìn gbogbo wọn ó farahàn mí pẹ̀lú, bí ẹni tí a bí ṣáájú àkókò rẹ̀.
Last of all, he was seen by me also, as one untimely born.
9 Nítorí èmi ni ẹni tí ó kéré jùlọ nínú àwọn aposteli, èmi ẹni tí kò yẹ láti pè ní aposteli, nítorí tí mo ṣe inúnibíni sí ìjọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run.
For I am the least of the apostles, and I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run mo rí bí mo ti rí: oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀ tí a fi fún mi kò sì jẹ́ asán; ṣùgbọ́n mó ṣiṣẹ́ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ jú gbogbo wọn lọ, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe èmi, bí kò ṣe oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi.
But, by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace, which was bestowed on me, has not been bestowed in vain: but I have labored more abundantly than they all; not I, however, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Nítorí náà ìbá à ṣe èmí tàbí àwọn ni, èyí ní àwa wàásù, èyí ní ẹ̀yin sì gbàgbọ́.
Whether, therefore, I or they, so we preached, and so you believed.
12 Ǹjẹ́ bí a bá wàásù Kristi pé ó tí jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú, èéha tí ṣe tí àwọn mìíràn nínú yín fi wí pé, àjíǹde òkú kò sí.
But if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that a resurrection of the dead is impossible?
13 Ṣùgbọ́n bí àjíǹde òkú kò sí, ǹjẹ́ Kristi kò jíǹde.
But if a resurrection of the dead is impossible, Christ has not been raised.
14 Bí Kristi kò bá sì jíǹde, ǹjẹ́ asán ni ìwàásù wà, asán sì ni ìgbàgbọ́ yín pẹ̀lú.
And if Christ has not been raised, then vain is our preaching, and vain also your faith.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, a mú wa ni ẹlẹ́rìí èké fún Ọlọ́run; nítorí ti àwa jẹ́rìí Ọlọ́run pé ó jí Kristi dìde kúrò nínú òkú: ẹni tí òun kò jí dìde bí ó bá ṣe pé àwọn òkú kò jíǹde?
We are, indeed, also found false witnesses of God; for we have testified against God, that he raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if, indeed, the dead are not raised.
16 Nítorí pé bi á kò bá jí àwọn òkú dìde, ǹjẹ́ a kò jí Kristi dìde,
For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised;
17 bí a kò bá sì jí Kristi dìde, asán ní ìgbàgbọ́ yín; ẹ̀yin wà nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín síbẹ̀.
and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.
18 Ǹjẹ́ àwọn pẹ̀lú tí ó sùn nínú Kristi ṣègbé.
Then, also, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Bí ó bá ṣe pé kìkì ayé yìí nìkan ní àwa ní ìrètí nínú Kristi, àwa jásí òtòṣì jùlọ nínú gbogbo ènìyàn.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.
20 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí Kristi tí jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú, ó sì dí àkọ́bí nínú àwọn tí ó sùn.
But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept.
21 Nítorí ìgbà tí ó jẹ́ pé nípa ènìyàn ní ikú ti wá, nípa ènìyàn ní àjíǹde òkú sì ti wá pẹ̀lú.
For, since through man came death, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Nítorí bí gbogbo ènìyàn ti kú nínú Adamu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní a ó sì sọ gbogbo ènìyàn dí alààyè nínú Kristi.
For, as in Adam all die, so, also, in Christ shall all be made alive:
23 Ṣùgbọ́n olúkúlùkù ènìyàn ní ipá tirẹ̀: Kristi àkọ́bí; lẹ́yìn èyí àwọn tí ó jẹ́ tí Kristi ni wíwá rẹ̀.
but each in his own order; Christ the first-fruit, afterward, those who are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Nígbà náà ni òpin yóò dé, nígbà tí ó bá ti fi ìjọba fún Ọlọ́run Baba, nígbà tí ó bá pa gbogbo àṣẹ àti gbogbo ọlá àti agbára run.
Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down every principality and authority and power:
25 Nítorí ti òun gbọdọ̀ ti jẹ ọba kí òun to fi gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ sí abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
for he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 Ikú ní ọ̀tá ìkẹyìn tí a ó parun.
The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed.
27 “Nítorí ó ti fi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.” Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó wí pé, “Ohun gbogbo ni á fi sí abẹ́ rẹ̀,” o dájú pé Ọlọ́run nìkan ṣoṣo ní kò sí ní abẹ́ rẹ̀, Òun ní ó fi ohun gbogbo sí abẹ́ àkóso Kristi.
For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.
28 Nígbà tí a bá sì fi ohun gbogbo sí abẹ́ rẹ̀ tán, nígbà náà ni á ó fi ọmọ tìkára rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú sábẹ́ ẹni tí ó fi ohun gbogbo sí abẹ́ rẹ̀, kí Ọlọ́run lè jásí ohun gbogbo nínú ohun gbogbo.
And when all things shall have been put under him, then, also, shall the Son himself be subjected to him that did put all things under him, that God may be the all in all.
29 Ní báyìí, bí kò bá sí àjíǹde, kín ní ète àwọn ènìyàn tí wọn ń tẹ bọ omi nítorí òkú? Bí àwọn òkú kò bá jíǹde rárá, nítorí kín ni a ṣe ń bamitiisi wọn nítorí wọn?
For else, what shall those do, who are immersed for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why, then, are they immersed for the dead?
30 Nítorí kín ní àwa sì ṣe ń bẹ nínú ewu ni wákàtí gbogbo?
And why are we in danger every hour?
31 Mo sọ nípa ayọ̀ tí mo ní lórí yín nínú Kristi Jesu Olúwa wá pé, èmi ń kú lójoojúmọ́.
I protest, by the joy which I have over you in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 Kí a wí bí ènìyàn, bí mo bá ẹranko jà ní Efesu, àǹfààní kín ni ó jẹ́ fún mi? Bí àwọn òkú kò bá jíǹde, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a máa jẹ, kí á máa mú; nítorí ní ọlá ni àwa ó kú.”
If, to speak as a man, I have fought with wild 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 Kí a má tàn yín jẹ́, “Ẹgbẹ́ búburú bá ìwà rere jẹ́.”
Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Ẹ jí ìjí òdodo, kí ẹ má sì dẹ́ṣẹ̀; nítorí àwọn ẹlòmíràn kò ni imọ̀ Ọlọ́run, mo sọ èyí kí ojú ba à lè tiyín.
Awake, as you should, to soberness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
35 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnìkan yóò wí pé, “Báwo ni àwọn òkú yóò ṣe jíǹde? Irú ara wó ni wọn ó padà sí?”
But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Ìwọ aláìmòye, ohun tí ìwọ fúnrúgbìn kì í yè bí kò ṣe pé ó ba kú,
Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die;
37 àti èyí tí ìwọ fúnrúgbìn, kì í ṣe ara tí ń bọ̀ ni ìwọ fúnrúgbìn, ṣùgbọ́n èso lásán ni, ìbá à ṣe alikama, tàbí irú mìíràn.
and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run fún ún ni ara bí o tí wù ú, àti fún olúkúlùkù irúgbìn ara tirẹ̀.
but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body.
39 Gbogbo ẹran-ara kì í ṣe ẹran-ara kan náà, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀tọ̀ ni ẹran-ara ti ènìyàn, ọ̀tọ̀ ni ẹran-ara ti ẹranko, ọ̀tọ̀ ní ti ẹja, ọ̀tọ̀ sì ní tí ẹyẹ.
All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 Ará ti òkè ọ̀run ń bẹ, ara ti ayé pẹ̀lú sì ń bẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ògo ti òkè ọ̀run ọ̀tọ̀, àti ògo ti ayé ọ̀tọ̀.
There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial is another.
41 Ọ̀tọ̀ ni ògo ti oòrùn, ọ̀tọ̀ ni ògo ti òṣùpá, ọ̀tọ̀ sì ni ògo ti ìràwọ̀; ìràwọ̀ ṣá yàtọ̀ sí ìràwọ̀ ni ògo.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ sí ni àjíǹde òkú. A gbìn ín ní ìdíbàjẹ́; a sí jì í dìde ni àìdíbàjẹ́.
So, also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:
43 A gbìn ín ni àìní ọlá, a sí jí i dìde ni ògo; a gbìn ín ni àìlera, a sì jí í dìde ní agbára.
it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power:
44 A gbìn ín ni, ara ẹran a sì jí i dìde ni ara ti ẹ̀mí. Bí ara ẹran bá ń bẹ, ara ẹ̀mí náà sì ń bẹ.
it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní a si kọ ọ́ pé, “Adamu ọkùnrin ìṣáájú, alààyè ọkàn ni a dá a”; Adamu ìkẹyìn ẹ̀mí ìsọnidààyè.
So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
46 Ṣùgbọ́n èyí tí í ṣe tí ẹ̀mí kọ ní ó kọ́kọ́ ṣáájú, bí kò ṣe èyí tí í ṣe tí ara ọkàn, lẹ́yìn náà èyí ti í ṣe ti ẹ̀mí.
But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 Ọkùnrin ìṣáájú ti inú erùpẹ̀ wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni erùpẹ̀: ọkùnrin èkejì láti ọ̀run wá ni.
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven.
48 Bí ẹni erùpẹ̀ ti rí, irú bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwọn tí í ṣe erùpẹ̀: bí ẹni tí ọ̀run ti rí, irú bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwọn tí í ṣe tí ọ̀run.
As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be.
49 Bí àwa ti rú àwòrán ẹni erùpẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa ó sì rú àwòrán ẹni ti ọ̀run.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Ará, ǹjẹ́ èyí ní mo wí pé, ara àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ kò lè jogún ìjọba Ọlọ́run, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìdíbàjẹ́ kò lé jogún àìdíbàjẹ́.
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Kíyèsi í, ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ni mo sọ fún un yín, gbogbo wá kì yóò sùn, ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo wá ní a ó paláradà.
Behold, I declare to you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
52 Lọ́gán, ni ìṣẹ́jú kan, nígbà ìpè ìkẹyìn: nítorí ìpè yóò dún, a ó sì jí àwọn òkú dìde ní àìdíbàjẹ́, a ó sì pa wá láradà.
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 Nítorí pé ara ìdíbàjẹ́ yìí kò lè ṣàìgbé ìdíbàjẹ́ wọ̀, àti ara kíkú yìí kò lè ṣàìgbé ara àìkú wọ̀.
For this corruptible body must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal body must put on immortality.
54 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ará ìdíbàjẹ́ yìí bá ti gbé àìdíbàjẹ́ wọ̀, ti ara kíkú yìí bá sí ti gbé àìkú wọ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ tan, nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ ti a kọ yóò ṣẹ pé, “A gbé ikú mí ní ìṣẹ́gun.”
And when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
O Death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Oró ikú ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀; àti agbára ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni òfin.
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 Ṣùgbọ́n ọpẹ́ ní fún Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ó fì ìṣẹ́gun fún wá nípa Olúwa wá Jesu Kristi!
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Nítorí náà ẹ̀yin ará mi olùfẹ́ ẹ máa dúró ṣinṣin, láìyẹsẹ̀, kí ẹ máa pọ̀ si í ní iṣẹ́ Olúwa nígbà gbogbo, ní ìwọ̀n bí ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ pé iṣẹ́ yin kì í ṣe asán nínú Olúwa.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; for you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
