1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
Pauro wakadanwa kuva muapositori waJesu Kristu nechido chaMwari, naSositenesi hama,
2 To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
kukereke yaMwari iri paKorinde, kune vakaitwa vatsvene muna Jesu Kristu, vakadanwa kuva vatsvene, pamwe nevese vanodana kuzita raIshe wedu Kristu Jesu panzvimbo yega-yega, wavo neweduwo:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naIshe Jesu Kristu.
4 I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;
Ndinovonga Mwari wangu nguva dzese maererano nemwi, nekuda kwenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwamuri muna Kristu Jesu;
5 So that in him you have wealth in all things, in word and in knowledge of every sort;
kuti pachinhu chese makafumiswa maari, panhaurwa yese neruzivo rwese,
6 Even as the witness of the Christ has been made certain among you:
sezvo uchapupu hwaKristu hwakasimbiswa mamuri;
7 So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
kuti hamushaiwi pane chimwe chipo, muchimirira kuratidzwa pachena kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
8 Who will give you strength to the end, to be free from all sin in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
iye achakusimbisaiwo kusvika kumagumo, kuti musava nemhosva pazuva raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
9 God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Mwari wakatendeka, wamakadanwa kubudikidza naye mukudyidzana kweMwanakomana wake Jesu Kristu Ishe wedu.
10 Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.
Zvino ndinokukumbirisai, hama, nezita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, kuti mese mutaure chinhu chimwe, uye pasava nekupatsanurana pakati penyu, asi muve vakakwana pamurangariro umwe nemuonero umwe.
11 Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.
Nokuti ndakaudzwa pamusoro penyu, hama dzangu, nevekwaKirowa, kuti kune makakava pakati penyu.
12 That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.
Zvino ndinoreva izvi, kuti umwe neumwe wenyu anoti: Ini ndiri waPauro, iniwo waAporo, asi ini waKefasi, iniwo waKristu.
13 Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?
Kristu wakapatsanurwa here? Ko Pauro wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa imwi here, kana makabhabhatidzwa muzita raPauro here?
14 I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius;
Ndinovonga Mwari kuti handina kubhabhatidza umwe wenyu, kunze kwaKrispo naGayo;
15 So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name.
kuti kurege kuva neanoti ndakabhabhatidza muzita rangu ndomene.
16 And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me.
Uye ndakabhabhatidzawo imba yaStefana; kunze kweizvi handizivi kana ndakabhabhatidza umwe munhu.
17 For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.
Nokuti Kristu wakandituma kwete kuzobhabhatidza, asi kuzoparidza evhangeri; kwete nenjere dzeshoko, kuti zvimwe muchinjikwa waKristu ushaiswe maturo.
18 For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.
Nokuti shoko remuchinjikwa kuna vanoparadzwa upenzi, asi kwatiri isu vanoponeswa isimba raMwari.
19 As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge.
Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Ndichaparadza njere dzevakachenjera, ndichashaisa maturo kunzwisisa kwevanzwisisi.
20 Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Aripi wakachenjera? Aripi munyori? Aripi mukakavari wenyika ino? Mwari haana kuita uchenjeri hwenyika ino upenzi here? (aiōn g165)
21 For because, by the purpose of God, the world, with all its wisdom, had not the knowledge of God, it was God's pleasure, by so foolish a thing as preaching, to give salvation to those who had faith in him.
Nokuti zvakadaro muuchenjeri hwaMwari nyika neuchenjeri haina kuziva Mwari, zvakafadza Mwari neupenzi hwemharidzo kuponesa vanotenda.
22 Seeing that the Jews make request for signs, and the Greeks are looking for knowledge:
Nokuti neVaJudha vanokumbira chiratidzo, VaGirikiwo vanotsvaka uchenjeri;
23 But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles;
asi isu tinoparidza Kristu wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa, kuVaJudha chigumbuso, nekuVaGiriki upenzi;
24 But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God.
asi kune vakadanwa, VaJudha pamwe neVaGiriki, Kristu isimba raMwari nenjere dzaMwari;
25 Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.
nokuti upenzi hwaMwari hwakachenjera kupfuura hwevanhu, neutera hwaMwari hwakasimba kupfuura hwevanhu.
26 For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble:
Nokuti tarirai kudanwa kwenyu, hama, kuti havasi vazhinji vakachenjera panyama, havasi vazhinji vane simba, havasi vazhinji vepamusoro;
27 But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong;
asi Mwari wakasarudza zvinhu zveupenzi zvenyika, kuti anyadzise vakachenjera; uye Mwari wakasarudza zvinhu zveutera zvenyika, kuti anyadzise zvine simba;
28 And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are:
nezvinhu zvepasi zvenyika nezvinhu zvinozvidzwa Mwari wakasarudza, nezvinhu zvisipo, kuti ashaise zvinhu zviripo maturo;
29 So that no flesh might have glory before God.
kuti kusava nenyama ingazvikudza pamberi pake.
30 But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy:
Asi naye imwi muri muna Kristu Jesu, wakaitirwa isu uchenjeri hunobva kuna Mwari, nekururama, nekuitwa vatsvene, nerudzikunuro;
31 So that, as it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.
kuti sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Anozvikudza, ngaazvikudze muna Ishe.
