1 VaKorinde 1

1 Pauro, akadanwa nokuda kwaMwari, kuti ave mupostori waKristu Jesu, naSositeni hama yedu,

Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 kukereke yaMwari iri muKorinde, kuna vaya vakaitwa vatsvene muna Kristu Jesu uye vakadanwa kuti vave vatsvene pamwe chete navose vari kwose kwose vanodana kuzita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, Ishe wavo nowedu:

to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

3 Nyasha norugare ngazvive nemi zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naShe Jesu Kristu.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Ndinogara ndichivonga Mwari nguva dzose nokuda kwenyasha dzake pamusoro penyu muna Kristu Jesu.

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

5 Nokuti maari makapfumiswa pazvinhu zvose, mukutaura kwenyu kwose uye nomuruzivo rwenyu rwose,

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

6 nokuti uchapupu hwedu pamusoro paKristu hwakasimbiswa mamuri.

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 Naizvozvo hapana kana chipo chomweya chamunoshayiwa pamunomirira nomwoyo wose kuratidzwa kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.

so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;

8 Achakusimbisai kusvikira kumagumo, kuti murege kuva nechamungapomerwa pazuva raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.

who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Mwari, iye akakudanai kuti muwadzane noMwanakomana wake Jesu Kristu Ishe wedu, akatendeka.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

10 Ndinokukumbirai zvikuru, hama, muzita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, kuti imi mose mutaure chinhu chimwe, kuti pakati penyu parege kuva nokupesana uye kuti mubatanidzwe zvakanaka pamurangariro mumwe nomukufunga.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.

11 Hama dzangu, vamwe venyu vokwaKirowe vakandiudza kuti pane gakava pakati penyu.

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.

12 Zvandinoreva ndezvokuti: Mumwe wenyu anoti, “Ini ndiri waPauro,” mumwe oti, “Ini ndiri waAporosi,” mumwewo oti, “Ini ndiri waKefasi,” mumwe zvakare oti, “Ini ndiri waKristu.”

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."

13 Kristu akaparadzaniswa here? Pauro akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa nokuda kwenyu here? Makabhabhatidzwa muzita raPauro here?

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

14 Ndinovonga Mwari kuti handina kubhabhatidza kana mumwe wenyu, kunze kwaKrispo naGayo,

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 kuti kurege kuva nomumwe wenyu anoti akabhabhatidzwa muzita rangu.

so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.

16 Hongu, ndakabhabhatidzawo veimba yaStefanasi; kunze kwaivavo, handirangariri kana ndakabhabhatidzazve mumwe munhu.

(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

17 Nokuti Kristu haana kundituma kuti ndinobhabhatidza asi kuti ndinoparidza vhangeri, kwete namashoko ouchenjeri hwavanhu, kuti muchinjikwa waKristu urege kupedzwa simba rawo.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Christ would not be made void.

18 Nokuti shoko romuchinjikwa upenzi kuna vari kuparara, asi kwatiri isu vanoponeswa isimba raMwari.

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Ndichaparadza uchenjeri hwavakachenjera; ndichakonesa kuziva kwavanoziva.”

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

20 Akachenjera aripiko? Akadzidza aripiko? Muiti wenharo wenguva ino aripiko? Ko, Mwari haana kuita uchenjeri hwenyika ino upenzi here? (aiōn g165)

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)

21 Nokuti muuchenjeri hwaMwari, nyika kubudikidza nouchenjeri hwayo, haina kumuziva, Mwari akafadzwa nazvo kuti vanotenda avaponese kubudikidza noupenzi hwezvakaparidzwa.

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22 VaJudha vanoda zviratidzo uye vaGiriki vanotsvaka uchenjeri,

For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,

23 asi isu tinoparidza Kristu akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa, chigumbuso kuvaJudha noupenzi kune veDzimwe Ndudzi.

but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,

24 Asi kuna avo vakadanwa naMwari, zvose vaJudha navaGiriki, Kristu isimba raMwari nouchenjeri hwaMwari.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Nokuti upenzi hwaMwari hwakachenjera kupfuura uchenjeri hwomunhu, uye utera hwaMwari hwakasimba kupfuura simba romunhu.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.

26 Hama dzangu, rangarirai zvamakanga muri pamakadanwa. Havazi vazhinji venyu vaiva namasimba; havasi vazhinji vaikudzwa pakuzvarwa kwavo.

For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.

27 Asi Mwari akasarudza zvinhu zvoupenzi zvenyika ino kuti anyadzise vakachenjera; Mwari akasarudza zvisina simba zvenyika ino kuti anyadzise vane simba.

But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.

28 Akasarudza zvinhu zvepasi pasi zvenyika ino uye zvakazvidzwa, nezvinhu zvisipo, kuti ashayise simba zvinhu zviripo,

And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,

29 kuti kurege kuva nomunhu angazvikudza pamberi pake.

that no flesh might boast before God.

30 Nokuda kwake, imi muri muna Kristu Jesu, uyo akava kwatiri uchenjeri hunobva kuna Mwari, iko kururama, noutsvene uye norudzikinuro rwedu.

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 Naizvozvo, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi, “Anozvikudza ngaazvikudze muna She.”

so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
