1 Corinthians 14
1 Followe after loue, and couet spirituall giftes, and rather that ye may prophecie.
Tevererai rudo; mushuve zvikuru zvemweya, asi zvikurusa kuti muporofite.
2 For hee that speaketh a strange tongue, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man heareth him: howbeit in the spirit he speaketh secret things.
Nokuti anotaura nendimi haatauri kuvanhu, asi kuna Mwari; nokuti hakuna anomunzwa; asi mumweya anotaura zvakavanzika.
3 But he that prophecieth, speaketh vnto me to edifying, and to exhortation, and to comfort.
Asi anoporofita anotaura kuvanhu kuvaka nekurudziro nenyaradzo.
4 He that speaketh strange language, edifieth himselfe: but hee that prophecieth, edifieth the Church.
Anotaura nendimi anozvivaka iye; asi anoporofita anovaka kereke.
5 I would that ye all spake strange languages, but rather that ye prophecied: for greater is hee that prophecieth, then hee that speaketh diuers tongues, except hee expound it, that the Church may receiue edification.
Ndinodawo kuti imwi mese mutaure nendimi, asi zvikuru kuti muporofite; nokuti anoporofita mukuru kune anotaura nendimi, kunze kwekuti achidudzira, kuti kereke iwane kuvakwa.
6 And nowe, brethren, if I come vnto you speaking diuers tongues, what shall I profite you, except I speake to you, either by reuelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecying, or by doctrine?
Asi ikozvino, hama, kana ndichiuya kwamuri ndichitaura nendimi, ndichakubatsirai nei, kunze kwekuti ndichitaura nemwi kana muchakazarurwa, kana muruzivo, kana muchiporofita, kana mudzidziso?
7 Moreouer things without life which giue a sounde, whether it be a pipe or an harpe, except they make a distinction in the soundes, how shall it be knowen what is piped or harped?
Zvakadaro zvinhu zvisina upenyu zvinorira, kana nyere, kana rudimbwa, kana zvisingapi musiyano pamaririro, zvingazikanwa sei chinoridzwa nenyere kana kuridzwa rudimbwa?
8 And also if the trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who shall prepare himselfe to battell?
Nokutiwo kana hwamanda ichipa maungira asinganzwisisiki, ndiani angazvigadzira hondo?
9 So likewise you, by the tongue, except yee vtter wordes that haue signification, howe shall it be vnderstand what is spoken? for ye shall speake in the ayre.
Saizvozvowo imwi, kana musingapi nerurimi shoko rakareruka kunzwisiswa, zvinotaurwa zvichazikanwa sei? Nokuti muchava vanotaura kumhepo.
10 There are so many kindes of voyces (as it commeth to passe) in the world, and none of them is dumme.
Ariko, kana zvingaitika, manzwi ane marudzi mazhinji zvakadai panyika asi hakuna rimwe risingarevi chinhu.
11 Except I know then the power of ye voyce, I shall be vnto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh, shalbe a barbarian vnto me.
Naizvozvo kana ndisingazivi zvinoreva inzwi, ndichava munhu werumwe rurimi kune anotaura, neanotaura munhu werumwe rurimi kwandiri.
12 Euen so, forasmuch as ye couet spirituall giftes, seeke that ye may excell vnto the edifying of the Church.
Zvakadaro nemwi, sezvamunoshingairira zvipo zveMweya, tsvakai kuti mupfuurise pakuvaka kereke.
13 Wherefore, let him that speaketh a strange tongue, pray, that he may interprete.
Naizvozvo anotaura nendimi ngaanyengetere kuti adudzire.
14 For if I pray in a strange togue, my spirit prayeth: but mine vnderstading is without fruite.
Nokuti kana ndichinyengetera nendimi, mweya wangu unonyengetera, asi fungwa dzangu hadzina chibereko.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I wil pray with the vnderstanding also: I wil sing with the spirite, but I will sing with the vnderstanding also.
Zvino chii? Ndichanyengetera nemweya, uye ndichanyengetera nefungwawo; ndichaimba nemweya, uye ndichaimba nefungwawo.
16 Else, when thou blessest with the spirit, howe shall hee that occupieth the roome of the vnlearned, say Amen, at thy giuing of thankes, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?
Kana zvisakadaro, kana uchivonga nemweya, uyo agere pachigaro cheasina kudzidza achati Ameni sei pakuvonga kwako, zvaasingazivi chaunotaura?
17 For thou verely giuest thankes well, but the other is not edified.
Nokuti zvirokwazvo iwe unovonga zvakanaka, asi umwe haavakwi.
18 I thanke my God, I speake languages more then ye all.
Ndinovonga Mwari wangu, kuti ndinotaura nendimi kupfuura imwi mese;
19 Yet had I rather in the Church to speake fiue wordes with mine vnderstanding, that I might also instruct others, then ten thousande wordes in a strange tongue.
asi mukereke ndinoda kutaura mashoko mashanu nefungwa dzangu, kuti ndidzidzise vamwewo, pamashoko zvuru gumi nendimi.
20 Brethren, be not children in vnderstanding, but as concerning maliciousnes be children, but in vnderstanding be of a ripe age.
Hama, musava vana pafungwa; asi pazvakaipa muve vacheche, asi pakuziva muve vakuru.
21 In the Lawe it is written, By men of other tongues, and by other languages will I speake vnto this people: yet so shall they not heare me, sayth the Lord.
Pamurairo pakanyorwa kuti: Nedzimwe ndimi uye neimwe miromo ndichataura kurudzi urwu; kunyange zvakadaro havangandinzwi, anoreva Ishe.
22 Wherefore strange tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleeue, but to them that beleeue not: but prophecying serueth not for them that beleeue not, but for them which beleeue.
Naizvozvo ndimi ndedzechiratidzo, kwete kune vanotenda, asi kune vasingatendi; asi chiporofita hachisi chevasingatendi, asi chevanotenda.
23 If therefore when the whole Church is come together in one, and all speake strange tongues, there come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleeue not, will they not say, that ye are out of your wittes?
Naizvozvo kana kereke yese yaungana panzvimbo imwe, vese ndokutaura nendimi, vasina kudzidza kana vasina rutendo vakapinda, havati munopenga here?
24 But if all prophecie, and there come in one that beleeueth not, or one vnlearned, hee is rebuked of all men, and is iudged of all,
Asi kana vese vakaporofita, umwe asingatendi kana asina kudzidza ndokupinda, achatsiurwa nevese, aongororwe nevese;
25 And so are the secrets of his heart made manifest, and so he will fall downe on his face and worship God, and say plainely that God is in you in deede.
uye saizvozvo zvakavanzika zvemoyo wake zvinoratidzwa; saizvozvowo achawa nechiso achinamata Mwari, nekupupura kuti Mwari ari pakati penyu zvirokwazvo.
26 What is to be done then, brethren? when ye come together, according as euery one of you hath a Psalme, or hath doctrine, or hath a tongue, or hath reuelation, or hath interpretation, let all things be done vnto edifying.
Zvino chii, hama? Pega-pega pamunoungana, umwe neumwe wenyu ane pisarema, ane dzidziso, ane ndimi, ane chakazarurwa, ane dudziro. Zvinhu zvese ngazviitirwe kuvaka.
27 If any man speake a strange tongue, let it be by two, or at the most, by three, and that by course, and let one interprete.
Kana umwe achitaura nendimi ngazviitwe nevaviri, kana varege kupfuura vatatu, uye vachiravana, neumwe ngaadudzire.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keepe silence in the Church, which speaketh languages, and let him speake to himselfe, and to God.
Asi kana pasina mududziri, ngaanyarare mukereke; uye ngaataure kwaari nekuna Mwari.
29 Let the Prophets speake two, or three, and let the other iudge.
Vaporofitawo ngavataure vaviri kana vatatu, nevamwe ngavatonge.
30 And if any thing be reueiled to another that sitteth by, let the first holde his peace.
Asi kana zvakazarurirwa umwe agerepo, wekutanga ngaanyarare.
31 For ye may all prophecie one by one, that all may learne, and all may haue comfort.
Nokuti mese mungaporofita umwe-umwe, kuti vese vadzidze, uye vese vakurudzirwe;
32 And the spirits of the Prophets are subiect to the Prophets.
nemweya yevaporofita inozviisa pasi pevaporofita.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all ye Churches of the Saints.
Nokuti Mwari haasi wenyonga-nyonga, asi werugare, sapamakereke ese evatsvene.
34 Let your women keepe silence in the Churches: for it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but they ought to be subiect, as also the Lawe sayth.
Vanhukadzi venyu ngavanyarare mumakereke; nokuti havatenderwi kutaura; asi kuzviisa pasi, sezvinorevawo murairo.
35 And if they will learne any thing, let them aske their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speake in the Church.
Kana vachidawo kudzidza chinhu, ngavabvunze varume vavo kumba; nokuti chinyadzo kumunhukadzi kutaura mukereke.
36 Came the worde of God out from you? either came it vnto you onely?
Ko shoko raMwari rakabva kwamuri here? Kana rakasvika kwamuri mega here?
37 If any man thinke him selfe to be a Prophet, or spirituall, let him acknowledge, that the things, that I write vnto you, are the commandements of the Lord.
Kana munhu achifunga kuti muporofita kana wemweya, ngaatende zvinhu zvandinonyora kwamuri, kuti mirairo yaIshe.
38 And if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Asi kana munhu asingazivi, ngaave asingazivi.
39 Wherefore, brethren, couet to prophecie, and forbid not to speake languages.
Naizvozvo, hama, shingairirai kuporofita, musingadzivisi kutaura nendimi.
40 Let all things be done honestly, and by order.
Zvinhu zvese ngazviitwe nemutoo wakafanira uye zvichitevedzana.
