1 KwabaseKhorinte 1
1 UPawuli obizelwe ukuba ngumphostoli kaJesu Kristu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, loSostenesi umzalwane,
Pauro wakadanwa kuva muapositori waJesu Kristu nechido chaMwari, naSositenesi hama,
2 kubandla likaNkulunkulu eliseKorinte, kubo abangcwelisiweyo kuKristu Jesu, ababizelwe ukuba ngabangcwele, kanye labo bonke ababiza ibizo leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kuyo yonke indawo, eyabo kanye leyethu:
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 Umusa kawube kini lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu leNkosini uJesu Kristu.
Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naIshe Jesu Kristu.
4 Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu wami ngesikhathi sonke ngani, ngenxa yomusa kaNkulunkulu eliwuphiweyo kuKristu Jesu;
Ndinovonga Mwari wangu nguva dzese maererano nemwi, nekuda kwenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwamuri muna Kristu Jesu;
5 ukuthi kuyo yonke into linothisiwe kuye, ekukhulumeni konke lelwazini lonke,
kuti pachinhu chese makafumiswa maari, panhaurwa yese neruzivo rwese,
6 njengoba ubufakazi bukaKristu buqinisiwe kini;
sezvo uchapupu hwaKristu hwakasimbiswa mamuri;
7 ukuze lingasileli lakwesinye isipho, lilindele ukwembulwa kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,
kuti hamushaiwi pane chimwe chipo, muchimirira kuratidzwa pachena kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
8 ozaliqinisa futhi kuze kube sekupheleni, ukuze lingabi lacala ngosuku lweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
iye achakusimbisaiwo kusvika kumagumo, kuti musava nemhosva pazuva raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
9 UNkulunkulu uthembekile, elabizelwa ngaye ebudlelwaneni beNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu.
Mwari wakatendeka, wamakadanwa kubudikidza naye mukudyidzana kweMwanakomana wake Jesu Kristu Ishe wedu.
10 Ngiyalincenga-ke, bazalwane, ngebizo leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, ukuthi lonke likhulume into ibenye, njalo kungabi khona ukwehlukana phakathi kwenu, kodwa lipheleliswe emqondweni munye lekuboneni kunye.
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 Ngoba ngitsheliwe ngani, bazalwane bami, ngabakoKlowe, ukuthi kukhona izingxabano phakathi kwenu.
Nokuti ndakaudzwa pamusoro penyu, hama dzangu, nevekwaKirowa, kuti kune makakava pakati penyu.
12 Njalo ngitsho lokhu, kokuthi ngulowo lalowo wenu uthi: Mina ngingokaPawuli; kodwa mina okaApolosi; kodwa mina okaKefasi; kodwa mina okaKristu.
Zvino ndinoreva izvi, kuti umwe neumwe wenyu anoti: Ini ndiri waPauro, iniwo waAporo, asi ini waKefasi, iniwo waKristu.
13 UKristu wehlukanisiwe yini? Kanti uPawuli wabethelelwa lina, kumbe labhabhathizwa yini ebizweni likaPawuli?
Kristu wakapatsanurwa here? Ko Pauro wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa imwi here, kana makabhabhatidzwa muzita raPauro here?
14 Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu ukuthi kangibhabhathizanga lamunye wenu, ngaphandle kukaKrispusi loGayusi;
Ndinovonga Mwari kuti handina kubhabhatidza umwe wenyu, kunze kwaKrispo naGayo;
15 ukuze kungabi khona othi ngabhabhathiza ebizweni lami uqobo.
kuti kurege kuva neanoti ndakabhabhatidza muzita rangu ndomene.
16 Futhi ngabhabhathiza lendlu kaStefana; ngaphandle kwalokho kangazi ukuthi ngabhabhathiza omunye umuntu.
Uye ndakabhabhatidzawo imba yaStefana; kunze kweizvi handizivi kana ndakabhabhatidza umwe munhu.
17 Ngoba uKristu kangithumanga ukuthi ngibhabhathize, kodwa ukuthi ngitshumayele ivangeli; kungeyisikho ngenhlakanipho yelizwi, hlezi isiphambano sikaKristu senziwe ize.
Nokuti Kristu wakandituma kwete kuzobhabhatidza, asi kuzoparidza evhangeri; kwete nenjere dzeshoko, kuti zvimwe muchinjikwa waKristu ushaiswe maturo.
18 Ngoba ilizwi lesiphambano liyibuthutha kulabo ababhubhayo, kodwa kithi abasindiswayo lingamandla kaNkulunkulu.
Nokuti shoko remuchinjikwa kuna vanoparadzwa upenzi, asi kwatiri isu vanoponeswa isimba raMwari.
19 Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngizachitha inhlakanipho yabahlakaniphileyo, lokuqedisisa kwabaqedisisayo ngizakwenza ize.
Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Ndichaparadza njere dzevakachenjera, ndichashaisa maturo kunzwisisa kwevanzwisisi.
20 Singaphi isihlakaniphi? Ungaphi umbhali? Ungaphi umphikisi walumhlaba? Angithi uNkulunkulu wayenza yaba yibuthutha inhlakanipho yalumhlaba yini? (aiōn g165)
Aripi wakachenjera? Aripi munyori? Aripi mukakavari wenyika ino? Mwari haana kuita uchenjeri hwenyika ino upenzi here? (aiōn g165)
21 Ngoba kuthe enhlakanipheni kaNkulunkulu umhlaba kawumazanga uNkulunkulu ngenhlakanipho, kwaba kuhle kuNkulunkulu ngobuthutha bentshumayelo ukusindisa abakholwayo.
Nokuti zvakadaro muuchenjeri hwaMwari nyika neuchenjeri haina kuziva Mwari, zvakafadza Mwari neupenzi hwemharidzo kuponesa vanotenda.
22 Ngoba lamaJuda acela isibonakaliso, lamaGriki adinga inhlakanipho;
Nokuti neVaJudha vanokumbira chiratidzo, VaGirikiwo vanotsvaka uchenjeri;
23 kodwa thina sitshumayela uKristu obethelweyo, isikhubekiso kumaJuda, lobuthutha kumaGriki;
asi isu tinoparidza Kristu wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa, kuVaJudha chigumbuso, nekuVaGiriki upenzi;
24 kodwa kulabo ababiziweyo, kumaJuda kanye lakumaGriki, uKristu amandla kaNkulunkulu lenhlakanipho kaNkulunkulu;
asi kune vakadanwa, VaJudha pamwe neVaGiriki, Kristu isimba raMwari nenjere dzaMwari;
25 ngoba ubuthutha bukaNkulunkulu buhlakaniphile kulabantu, lobuthakathaka bukaNkulunkulu bulamandla kulabantu.
nokuti upenzi hwaMwari hwakachenjera kupfuura hwevanhu, neutera hwaMwari hwakasimba kupfuura hwevanhu.
26 Ngoba khangelani ubizo lwenu, bazalwane, ukuthi kababanengi abahlakaniphileyo ngokwenyama, kababanengi abalamandla, kababanengi abayizikhulu;
Nokuti tarirai kudanwa kwenyu, hama, kuti havasi vazhinji vakachenjera panyama, havasi vazhinji vane simba, havasi vazhinji vepamusoro;
27 kodwa uNkulunkulu ukhethile izinto zobuthutha zomhlaba, ukuze ayangise abahlakaniphileyo; njalo uNkulunkulu ukhethile okubuthakathaka komhlaba, ukuze ayangise okulamandla;
asi Mwari wakasarudza zvinhu zveupenzi zvenyika, kuti anyadzise vakachenjera; uye Mwari wakasarudza zvinhu zveutera zvenyika, kuti anyadzise zvine simba;
28 lezinto eziphansi zomhlaba lezinto ezidelelekayo uNkulunkulu uzikhethile, lezinto ezingekho, ukuze enze zibe yize izinto ezikhona;
nezvinhu zvepasi zvenyika nezvinhu zvinozvidzwa Mwari wakasarudza, nezvinhu zvisipo, kuti ashaise zvinhu zviripo maturo;
29 ukuze kungabikho inyama ezincomayo phambi kwakhe.
kuti kusava nenyama ingazvikudza pamberi pake.
30 Kodwa ngaye lina likuKristu Jesu, owenzelwa thina inhlakanipho evela kuNkulunkulu, lokulunga, lokungcweliswa, lohlengo,
Asi naye imwi muri muna Kristu Jesu, wakaitirwa isu uchenjeri hunobva kuna Mwari, nekururama, nekuitwa vatsvene, nerudzikunuro;
31 ukuze, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Ozincomayo, kazincome eNkosini.
kuti sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Anozvikudza, ngaazvikudze muna Ishe.
