1 BAKORINTHE 15

Ka ga tsogo ya baswi

1 Bakaulengwe, ke lo gopotsa Efangele e ke e lo reretseng, e lo e amogetseng, e e bileng lo eme mo go yona,

2 e lo pholosiwang ka yona, fa lo ntse lo e dirisa jaaka ke e lo reretse, fa lo sa dumelela lefela.
3 Gonne tse dikgolo tse ke di lo neileng ke tse le nna ke di amogetseng, e bong gore Keresete o ne a swela dibe tsa rona ka fa Dikwalong,t 4 le gore o ne a fitlhwa, le gore o tsositswe ka letsatsi la boraro ka fa Dikwalong,t 5 le gore o ne a iponatsa mo go Kefa le mo go ba ba 12 morago ga moo.t 6 Morago ga moo a iponatsa mo bakaulengweng ba ba fetang 500 ka nako e le nngwe, ba bontsi jwa bone bo sa leng teng, mme bangwe ba robetse.

7 Morago ga moo a iponatsa mo go Jakobo, a ba a iponatsa mo go baapostolo botlhe.t
8 Mme morago ga botlhe a iponatsa le mo go nna, ka nna jaaka yo o tsetsweng ka nako e e seng yona.t 9 Gonne ke yo mmotlana mo baapostolong, yo ke sa tshwanelang go bidiwa moapostolo, ka ke ne ka bogisa phuthego ya Modimo.t 10 Mme ke se ke leng sona ke ka bopelotlhomogi jwa Modimo; mme bopelotlhomogi jwa ona mo go nna e ne e se lefela. Ke dirile bogolo go bone botlhe, mme e se nna, ke bopelotlhomogi jwa Modimo jo bo nang le nna.t

11 Jaanong fa e le nna, kampo e le bone, re rera jalo, e bile lo dumetse jalo.
12 Fa jaanong Keresete a rerwa go twe, o tsogile mo baswing, go ntse jang, fa bangwe ba lona ba re, ga go na tsogo ya baswi? 13 Kana fa go se na tsogo ya baswi, Keresete le ene o tla bo a sa tsoga. 14 Mme fa Keresete a sa tsoga, thero ya rona e tla bo e le lefela, le tumelo ya lona e tla bo e le lefela. 15 Mme foo rona re tla fitlhelwa re le basupi ba maaka ba Modimo, ka re supile ka ga Modimo, gore o tsositse Keresete, etswe o sa mo tsosa, fa e le gore baswi ga ba tsosiwe;t 16 gonne fa baswi ba sa tsosiwe, Keresete le ene o tla bo a sa tsosiwa.t 17 Mme fa Keresete a sa tsosiwa, tumelo ya lona e tla bo e le lefela, lo tla bo lo sa ntse lo le mo maleong a lona.t 18 Foo le bone ba ba swetseng mo go Keresete ba tla bo ba latlhegile.

19 Fa re solofela mo go Keresete tsa botshelo jono fela, re tla bo re tlhomola pelo bogolo go batho botlhe.
20 Mme jaanong Keresete o tsositswe mo baswing, a nna lebutswapele mo go ba ba robetseng.t 21 Gonne e re ka loso lo tsile ka motho, le tsogo ya baswi e tsile ka motho.t 22 Gonne botlhe ba tla phedisiwa ka Keresete jaaka botlhe ba swa ka Atame; 23 mongwe le mongwe ka fa thulaganyetsong ya gagwe: Keresete e le wa ntlha; morago ga moo ba e leng ba ga Keresete, motlhang a tlang;t 24 ke gona go tla tlang bokhutlo, motlhang a tla neelang Modimo Rara bogosi, a sena go nyeletsa puso yotlhe le taolo yotlhe le thata yotlhe.t 25 Gonne o tshwanetse go busa go ya o be o digele dira tsotlhe fa tlase ga dinao tsa gagwe.t 26 Mmaba wa bofelo yo o tla nyelediwang ke loso.t 27 Gonne “o digetse dilo tsotlhe fa tlase ga dinao tsa gagwe.” Mme kana fa go twe, dilo tsotlhe di digetswe fa tlase ga gagwe, go bonala gore ga go teiwe ona o o digetseng tsotlhe fa tlase ga gagwe.t

28 Mme e tla re dilo tsotlhe di sena go digelwa fa tlase ga gagwe, le ene Morwa a ikobele ona o o digetseng tsotlhe fa tlase ga gagwe, gore Modimo e nne wa tsotlhe mo go botlhe.
29 Fa go sa nna jalo, kana bone ba ba kolobelediwang baswi ba tla bo ba dirang? Fa baswi ba sa tsosiwe ka gope, ba tla bo ba kolobelediwang ka ntlha ya bona? 30 Le rona re tla bo re tshelelang mo diphatseng ka dinako tsotlhe?t 31 Ba ga etsho, ka poko e ke nang nayo mo go Keresete Jesu, Morena wa rona, ka ntlha ya lona, ka re: Ke swa ka letsatsi le letsatsi!t

32 Fa ke lole le dibata kwa Efeso ka mokgwa wa batho, go tla bo go nthusang? Fa baswi ba sa tsosiwe, gona “a re jeng he, re nweng; gonne kamoso re tla tsoga re sule!”t
33 Se tsiediweng: “Go tsalana le ba ba bosula go senya mekgwa e e siameng.”

34 Tlhaphogelwang tota lo se leofeng; gonne bangwe ga ba itse Modimo. Ke bua jalo go lo tlhabisa ditlhong.t
35 Mme mongwe o ka botsa a re: “Baswi ba tla tsosiwa jang? Ba tla tla ka mebele e e ntseng jang?” 36 Lesilo ke wena! Kana se o se jwalang ga se tshedisiwe, fa se sa swe pele.t 37 Le fa o jwala eng, ga o jwale mmele o o tla nnang teng, mme ke tlhaka fela, e ka nna ya mabele gongwe ya peo e sele.

38 Mme Modimo o e naya mmele ka fa o ratileng ka teng, e bong peo nngwe le nngwe mmele wa yona.t

39 Dinama ga di tshwane tsotlhe; nama ya batho ke e sele, le nama ya diruiwa ke e sele, le nama ya dinonyane ke e sele, le ya ditlhapi ke e sele.
40 Go na le mebele ya legodimo le mebele ya lefatshe; mme kgalalelo ya yona ya legodimo ke e sele, le ya yona ya lefatshe ke e sele.

41 Kgalalelo ya letsatsi ke e sele, le kgalalelo ya ngwedi ke e sele, le kgalalelo ya dinaledi ke e sele; gonne naledi nngwe e farologanye le e nngwe ka kgalalelo.
42 Tsogo ya baswi le yona e tla nna jalo. Go jwalwa se se bolang, go tsosiwa se se sa boleng; 43 go jwalwa se se tlotlologang, go tsosiwa se se galalelang; go jwalwa se se bokoa, go tsosiwa se se thata;t 44 go jwalwa mmele wa nama, go tsosiwa mmele wa mowa. Fa go na le mmele wa nama, go na le le ona mmele wa mowa. 45 Go kwadilwe jalo ga twe: “Motho wa ntlha, e bong Atame, o ne a nna motshedi”; Atame wa bofelo ene o ne a nna mowa o o tshedisang.t 46 Mme mmele wa pele ga se wa mowa, ke wa nama; wa morago ke ona wa mowa. 47 Motho wa ntlha o tswa mo mmung, ke wa lefatshe; motho wa bobedi o tswa kwa legodimong. 48 Ba lefatshe ba tshwana le wa lefatshe, mme ba legodimo ba tshwana le ene yo o tswang legodimong.

49 Re tla apara setshwano sa wa legodimo, jaaka re ne re apere setshwano sa wa lefatshe.t

50 Mme ba ga etsho, se ke se bolelang ke se: Nama le madi ga di ka ke tsa rua puso ya Modimo, le go bola ga go rue bosaboleng.t
51 Ke lo bolelela bosaitsweng ke jo: Ga re nke re swa rotlhe, mme re tla fetolwa rotlhet 52 ka nakonyana, ka ponyo ya leitlho, ka lonaka lwa bofelo; gonne lo tla kgelebetega, mme baswi ba tla tsosiwa e le ba ba sa feleng, mme rona re tla fetolwa.t 53 Gonne tse di felang tse, di tshwanetse go apara bosafeleng; le tse di swang tse, di tshwanetse go apara bosasweng.t

54 E tla re tse di felang tse, di sena go apara bosafeleng, le tse di swang tse, di sena go apara bosasweng, ke gona go tla dirafalang lefoko le le kwadilweng le le reng: “Loso lo meditswe ke phenyo.”

55 “Loso, lobolela lo lo botlhole
lwa gago lo kae?
Felo ga baswi,
phenyo ya gago e kae?”t
56 Lobolela lwa loso ke boleo, mme thata ya boleo ke molao.t

57 Mme a Modimo o lebogwe o o re nayang phenyo ka Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete!
58 Jalo he, bakaulengwe ba me ba ba rategang, nnang tlhomamo, lo se tshikinyege, lo nne lo totele pele mo tirong ya Morena, ka lo itse gore matsapa a lona ga se a lefela mo Moreneng.t

1 Corinthians 15

1 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;7 then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;8 and last of all, as to the child untimely born, he appeared to me also.9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.11 Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.15 Yea, we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.24 Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.27 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.29 Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?31 I protest by that glorifying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.32 If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.33 Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.34 Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak this to move you to shame.35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?36 Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;38 but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.40 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 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 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:43 it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:44 it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.46 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.55 O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?56 The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:57 but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
