1 Léegi nag bokk yi, maa ngi leen di fàttali xebaar bu baax bi ma leen yégal. Xebaar bu baax boobu, nangu ngeen ko te yéena ngi ciy sax.
1But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,
2 Ci moom ngeen jaare, ba mucc, bu ngeen téyee bu dëgër njàngale mi, ni ma leen ko yégale. Walla xanaa boog gëm ngeen ko cig neen?
2by 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 Li ma jotoon, jottali naa leen ko, te moo jëkk ci maana yi: Kirist dee na ngir dindi sunuy bàkkaar, ni ko Mbind mi tërale,
3For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 suul nañu ko, mu dekki ca ñetteelu fan ba, ni ko Mbind mi tërale.
4and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
5 Feeñu na Sefas, teg ca fukki taalibe ya ak ñaar.
5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 Gannaaw ga feeñu na lu ëpp juróomi téeméeri bokki taalibe ci benn yoon. Te ñu bare ci ñoom ñu ngi dund ba léegi, waaye am na ci ñu nelaw.
6Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.
7 Ba noppi feeñu na Saag ak ndawi Kirist yépp.
7Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
8 Man nag la mujj a feeñu, ma mel ni liir bu judduwul ci jamonoom.
8and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to *me* also.
9 Ndaxte maa gën a ñàkk solo ci ndawi Kirist yi, te yeyoowuma sax, ñu may wooye ndaw, man mi doon fitnaal mbooloom Yàlla.
9For *I* am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.
10 Waaye nag yiwu Yàlla moo tax ma doon li ma doon, te yiw, wi mu wone ci man, du cig neen. Waaye sax maa gën a liggéey ñi ci des ñépp: du ci man, waaye yiwu Yàlla, wiy jëf ci man, moo tax.
10But 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 Noonu nag muy man muy ñoom, dénkaane boobu lanuy yégle, te moom ngeen gëm.
11Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.
12 Waaye su nu yéglee ne, Kirist dekki na, nan la ñenn ñi ci yéen man a waxe ne, néew yi duñu dekki?
12Now 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 Su fekkee ne ñi dee duñu dekki, kon Kirist it dekkiwul.
13But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:
14 Te su Kirist dekkiwul, sunu waare day neen, te it seen ngëm day neen.
14but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.
15 Rax-ca-dolli gis nañu ne, seedeel nanu Yàlla ay fen, ndaxte seede nanu ci mbiram ne, dekkal na Yeesu, te fekk dekkalu ko, su néew yi dul dekki.
15And 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 Su néew yi dul dekki, Kirist moom it dekkiwul.
16For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;
17 Te su Kirist dekkiwul, seen ngëm du am solo, ba tey yéena ngi ci seeni bàkkaar.
17but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Te it ñi dee ba noppi ci Kirist sànku nañu.
18Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Su fekkee ci giiru dund gii rekk la sunu yaakaar ci Kirist ame solo, kon noo gën a mat a yërëm ñépp.
19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.
20 Waaye léegi Kirist dekki na, di ku jëkk a dekki, ni gub yi ñu jëkk a tànne ci ngóob mi, jagleel leen Yàlla.
20(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
21 Gannaaw ci nit la dee jaar, dugg àddina, kon it ci nit la ndekkite jaar.
21For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.
22 Kon ni ñépp deeye ci seen bokk ci Aadama, noonu la ñépp di dundaate ci seen bokk ci Kirist.
22For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.
23 Waaye ku nekk ak ayam. Kirist moo jëkk, mel ni gub yi ñu jëkk a tànne ci ngóob mi, ba noppi, bu Kirist dellusee, ñi bokk ci moom jël seen ay.
23But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.
24 Gannaaw ga, mujug jamono taxaw, te Kirist dina noot gépp kilifa ak bépp sañ-sañ ak doole, ba noppi delloo nguur gi kiy Yàlla di Baayam.
24Then 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 Ndaxte fàww Kirist nguuru, ba kera Yàlla di daaneel noonam yépp ciy tànkam.
25For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.
26 Noon bu mujj, bi mu fiy jële, mooy dee.
26[The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.
27 Ndaxte Mbind mi nee na: «Yàlla nootal na ko lépp, mu teg ci tànk.» Waaye bu Mbind mi nee, «noot na lépp,» wóor na ne, moom mi ko nootal lépp, génne na ci boppam.
27For 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 Léegi bu ñu ko nootalee lépp nag, moom Kirist muy Doom ji dina delloo kilifteef gi Yàlla, mi ko nootal lépp, ngir Yàlla nekk buur ci lépp.
28But 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 Su ndekkite amul, kon ñi ñu sóob ci ndox ngir ñi dee, lu mu leen di jariñ? Su dekki amul, kon lu tax ñu leen di sóob ngir ñi dee?
29Since 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 Te nun it lu tax fu nu tollu nu jaay sunu bakkan?
30Why do *we* also endanger ourselves every hour?
31 Bokk yi, ni ma damoo ci yéen ndax Yeesu Kirist, ni la ma wóore ne, bés bu nekk ma riisu dee.
31Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Su fekkee ne ci ni ñu ko waxe, xeex naa ca dëkku Efes ak rabi àll, kon ban njariñ la may amal? Su néew yi dul woon dekki, am na lu ci léeb wax:«Nanu lekk di naan, ndaxte ëllëg dinanu dee.»
32If, [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 Bu leen ko réere mbir: «Ànd bu bon dina yàq nit ku baax.»
33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Delloosileen xel yi te bàyyi bàkkaar, ndaxte am na ci yéen, ñu umple Yàlla. Kon war ngeen a rus!
34Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.
35 Waaye dina am kuy naan: «Nan la néew yi di dekkee? Wan yaram lañuy dellusee?»
35But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
36 Yaa gàtt xel! Li ngay ji, du jebbi dund gu bees, fi ak deewul ba noppi.
36Fool; what *thou* sowest is not quickened unless it die.
37 Te li ngay ji du jëmmi gàncax giy ñëwi, waaye pepp kese la, maanaam dugub, walla weneen jiwu.
37And 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 Noonu Yàlla jox ko jëmm ju ko neex, jiwu wu nekk ak jëmmam.
38and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.
39 Jëmmi mbindeef yépp a wuute: nit ak jëmmam, mala, picc, jën — yu ci nekk ak sa jëmmi bopp.
39Every 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 Am na itam ay jëmm ca asamaan ak ay jëmm ci suuf. Leeru jëmm ca asamaan wuute na ak gi ci suuf.
40And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:
41 Jant bi, weer wi ak biddiiw, lu nekk ak sag leer. Te it leeru biddiiw bu nekk dina wuute ak moroomam.
41one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
42 Noonu la ndekkitel néew yi di deme. Bu ñu suulee néew bi, dañoo ji lu yàqu. Bu dekkee, du yàqooti ba abadan.
42Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
43 Lu ñàkk solo lañuy suul; mu dekki ak ndam. Lu néew doole lañuy suul, mu dekki ak kàttan.
43It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
44 Bu ñu koy suul, yaram lay doon wu soloo woon ruu. Bu dekkee, doon yaram wu soloo ndamu Xelum Yàlla. Ndegam am na yaram wu soloo ruu, kon dina am yaram wu soloo ndamu Xelum Yàlla.
44It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [one].
45 Mbind mi nee na: «Nit ku jëkk ka, Aadama, doon na boroom ruu,» waaye Aadama mu mujj mi doon na Xel muy joxe dund.
45Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
46 Yaram wi soloo ndamu Xelum Yàlla jiituwul; yaramu doom Aadama moo jiitu; yaramu ndam li moo ci topp.
46But that which is spiritual [was] not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
47 Nit ku jëkk ka pëndu suuf la woon; ñaareelu nit ki di Kirist, mi ngi jóge asamaan.
47the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
48 Waa àddina yor nañu jëmmi nit, ki ñu sàkke ci suuf; noonu it ñi bokk ci asamaan dinañu yor melokaanu ki jóge ci asamaan.
48Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].
49 Te ni nu yore melokaanu ki ñu sàkke ci suuf, noonu lanuy yoreji melokaanu ki jóge ca asamaan.
49And as we have borne the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].
50 Li may wax nag bokk yi, moo di ne, sunu yaram wii mënul a am wàll ci nguuru Yàlla, te lu yàqu mënul a am wàll ci liy sax abadan.
50But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
51 Lii ma leen di xamal, mbóotu Yàlla la. Dégluleen, dunu jaar ci dee nun ñépp, waaye nun ñépp dinanu soppiku,
51Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 ci saa su gàtt, ci xef-ak-xippi, bu liit gu mujj gi jibee. Ndax liit gi dina jib, néew yi dekki, di dund abadan, te nun dinanu soppiku.
52in 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 Yaram wu yàqu war na sol jëmm ja dul yàqooti, te yaram wiy dee sol dund gu sax abadan.
53For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
54 Bu li yàqu solee melokaanu li dul yàqu, te liy dee sol melokaanu liy sax abadan, kon lii ñu wax ci Mbind mi mat:«Yàlla noot na dee, ba labal ko ci ndamam.
54But 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.
55 Céy yaw dee! Ana sa ndam?Céy yaw dee! Ana sa daŋar ji ngay fitte?»
55Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory?
56 Daŋaru dee mooy bàkkaar, te dooley bàkkaar mooy Yoon wi.
56Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;
57 Waaye jërë-jëf yaw Yàlla, ji nu jox ndam li jaarale ko ci sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist!
57but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Kon nag sama bokk yi ma sopp, nangeen takku, sampu ba dëgër, te gën a sawar ci liggéeyu Boroom bi, xam ne seen liggéey, bi jëm ci Boroom bi, du neen.
58So 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.
