1 Corinthians 3
1 I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh—as unto babes in Christ: —
Zvino ini, hama, ndakange ndisingagoni kutaura nemwi sekune veMweya, asi sekune venyama, sekune vacheche muna Kristu.
2 With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able; —nay! not [yet] even now, are ye able,
Ndakakunwisai mukaka, uye kwete kudya kukukutu; nokuti makange musati mogona kudya, asi naikozvino hamusati mogona;
3 For ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?
nokuti muchiri venyama; nokuti zvapachine godo pakati penyu, negakava nekupatsanurana, hamusi venyama, muchifamba zvinoenderana nemunhu here?
4 For, as soon as one beginneth to say—I, indeed, am of Paul! and another—I, of Apollos! are ye not, men?
Nokuti kana umwe achiti: Ini ndiri waPauro, neumwe achiti: Ini waAporo, hamusi venyama here?
5 What then is Apollos? and, what is Paul? ministers through whom ye believed, and, each, as the Lord, gave to him.
Ko Pauro chii, naAporo chii, asi vabati vamakatenda kubudikidza navo, Ishe sezvaanopawo umwe neumwe?
6 I, planted, Apollos, watered, —but, God, caused to, grow.
Ini ndakadzvara, Aporo wakadiridza, asi Mwari wakakurisa.
7 So that, [neither] is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth, —but, God, who causeth to, grow.
Naizvozvo anodzvara haasi chinhu, kana anodiridza, asi Mwari anokudza.
8 Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one: —howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive, —according to his own labour.
Zvino anodzvara neanodiridza ndevamwe; asi umwe neumwe achagamuchira mubairo wake zvichienderana nebasa rake.
9 For we are, God’s, fellow-workmen: ye are, God’s, farm, God’s building.
Nokuti tiri vashandi vaMwari pamwe naye; muri munda waMwari, chivakwa chaMwari.
10 According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;
Zvichienderana nenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwandiri, semuvaki nyanzvi wakachenjera ndakaronga nheyo, uye umwe anovaka pamusoro payo. Asi umwe neumwe ngaachenjerere kuti anovaka sei pamusoro payo.
11 For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ.
Nokuti hakuna umwe anogona kuisa imwe nheyo kunze kweiyo yakaiswa, inova Jesu Kristu.
12 But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation—gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
Zvino kana umwe achivaka pamusoro penheyo iyi, goridhe, sirivheri, mabwe anokosha, matanda, uswa, mashanga,
13 Each one’s work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed, —and, each one’s work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove: —
basa reumwe neumwe richaratidzwa; nokuti zuva richazvibudisa pachena, nokuti richazarurwa mumoto; uye moto uchaidza basa reumwe neumwe kuti rakadini.
14 If, anyone’s work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive, —
Kana basa raani nani raakavaka pamusoro payo richigara, achagamuchira mubairo.
15 If, anyone’s work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved—though, thus, as through fire.
Kana basa raani nani richizopiswa, acharasikirwa; asi iye amene achaponeswa, asi saizvozvo sewakabuda nemumoto.
16 Know ye not that ye are a shrine of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?
Hamuzivi here kuti muri tembere yaMwari, uye Mweya waMwari unogara mamuri?
17 If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy, —and such are ye.
Kana ani nani achiparadza tembere yaMwari, Mwari achamuparadza iye; nokuti tembere yaMwari itsvene, yamuri imwi.
18 Let no one be deceiving himself: —if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise; (aiōn g165)
Ngakurege kuva neanozvinyengera; kana umwe pakati penyu achifunga kuti wakachenjera panyika ino, ngaave benzi, kuti ave wakachenjera. (aiōn g165)
19 For, the wisdom of this world, is, foolishness with God; for it is written—He that taketh the wise in their knavery, —
Nokuti uchenjeri hwenyika ino upenzi kuna Mwari. Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Anobata vakachenjera paumhare hwavo;
20 And again—The Lord taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain.
uyezve: Ishe anoziva ndangariro dzevakachenjera, kuti hadzina maturo.
21 So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; for, all things, are yours—
Naizvozvo ngakurege kuva neanozvikudza nevanhu; nokuti zvinhu zvese ndezvenyu,
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all, are, yours,
kana Pauro, kana Aporo, kana Kefasi, kana nyika, kana upenyu, kana rufu, kana zvinhu zviripo, kana zvinhu zvinouya; zvese ndezvenyu,
23 And, ye, are Christ’s, —and, Christ, is, God’s.
uye imwi muri vaKristu, naKristu ndewaMwari.
