1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Pauro wakadanwa kuva muapositori waJesu Kristu nechido chaMwari, naSositenesi hama,
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs 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 always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Ndinovonga Mwari wangu nguva dzese maererano nemwi, nekuda kwenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwamuri muna Kristu Jesu;
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
kuti pachinhu chese makafumiswa maari, panhaurwa yese neruzivo rwese,
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
sezvo uchapupu hwaKristu hwakasimbiswa mamuri;
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
kuti hamushaiwi pane chimwe chipo, muchimirira kuratidzwa pachena kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
iye achakusimbisaiwo kusvika kumagumo, kuti musava nemhosva pazuva raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Mwari wakatendeka, wamakadanwa kubudikidza naye mukudyidzana kweMwanakomana wake Jesu Kristu Ishe wedu.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
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 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.
Nokuti ndakaudzwa pamusoro penyu, hama dzangu, nevekwaKirowa, kuti kune makakava pakati penyu.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
Zvino ndinoreva izvi, kuti umwe neumwe wenyu anoti: Ini ndiri waPauro, iniwo waAporo, asi ini waKefasi, iniwo waKristu.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Kristu wakapatsanurwa here? Ko Pauro wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa imwi here, kana makabhabhatidzwa muzita raPauro here?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Ndinovonga Mwari kuti handina kubhabhatidza umwe wenyu, kunze kwaKrispo naGayo;
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
kuti kurege kuva neanoti ndakabhabhatidza muzita rangu ndomene.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
Uye ndakabhabhatidzawo imba yaStefana; kunze kweizvi handizivi kana ndakabhabhatidza umwe munhu.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.
Nokuti Kristu wakandituma kwete kuzobhabhatidza, asi kuzoparidza evhangeri; kwete nenjere dzeshoko, kuti zvimwe muchinjikwa waKristu ushaiswe maturo.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Nokuti shoko remuchinjikwa kuna vanoparadzwa upenzi, asi kwatiri isu vanoponeswa isimba raMwari.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Ndichaparadza njere dzevakachenjera, ndichashaisa maturo kunzwisisa kwevanzwisisi.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t 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 seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
Nokuti zvakadaro muuchenjeri hwaMwari nyika neuchenjeri haina kuziva Mwari, zvakafadza Mwari neupenzi hwemharidzo kuponesa vanotenda.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Nokuti neVaJudha vanokumbira chiratidzo, VaGirikiwo vanotsvaka uchenjeri;
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
asi isu tinoparidza Kristu wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa, kuVaJudha chigumbuso, nekuVaGiriki upenzi;
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
asi kune vakadanwa, VaJudha pamwe neVaGiriki, Kristu isimba raMwari nenjere dzaMwari;
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
nokuti upenzi hwaMwari hwakachenjera kupfuura hwevanhu, neutera hwaMwari hwakasimba kupfuura hwevanhu.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
Nokuti tarirai kudanwa kwenyu, hama, kuti havasi vazhinji vakachenjera panyama, havasi vazhinji vane simba, havasi vazhinji vepamusoro;
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
asi Mwari wakasarudza zvinhu zveupenzi zvenyika, kuti anyadzise vakachenjera; uye Mwari wakasarudza zvinhu zveutera zvenyika, kuti anyadzise zvine simba;
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
nezvinhu zvepasi zvenyika nezvinhu zvinozvidzwa Mwari wakasarudza, nezvinhu zvisipo, kuti ashaise zvinhu zviripo maturo;
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
kuti kusava nenyama ingazvikudza pamberi pake.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Asi naye imwi muri muna Kristu Jesu, wakaitirwa isu uchenjeri hunobva kuna Mwari, nekururama, nekuitwa vatsvene, nerudzikunuro;
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
kuti sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Anozvikudza, ngaazvikudze muna Ishe.
