1 VaKorinde 10
1 Nokuti hama dzangu, handidi kuti murege kuziva kuti madzibaba edu ose akanga ari pasi pegore uye kuti vose vakayambuka gungwa.
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.
2 Vose vakabhabhatidzwa muna Mozisi mugore nomugungwa.
They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
3 Vose vakadya zvokudya zvimwe chete zvoMweya
They all ate the same spiritual food
4 uye vose vakanwa zvokunwa zvimwe chete zvomweya; nokuti vakanwa kubva padombo romweya rakafamba navo, uye dombo iri raiva Kristu.
and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
5 Kunyange zvakadaro, Mwari haana kufadzwa navazhinji vavo; mitumbi yavo yakaparadzirwa murenje.
Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
6 Zvino, zvinhu izvi zvakanga zviri semienzaniso kwatiri, kuti tirege kuisa mwoyo yedu pazvinhu zvakaipa sezvavakaita.
These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
7 Musanamata zvifananidzo, sezvakaita vamwe vavo; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Vanhu vakagara pasi vakadya, vakanwa, uye vakasimuka kuti vatambe.”
Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.”
8 Hatifaniri kuita upombwe, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakafa zviuru makumi maviri nezvitatu muzuva rimwe chete.
We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
9 Hatifaniri kuedza Ishe, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakaurayiwa nenyoka.
We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
10 Uye murege kugununʼuna sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakazourayiwa nomutumwa wokuparadza.
And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.
11 Zvinhu izvi zvakaitika kwavari semienzaniso kwatiri uye zvikanyorwa kuti zvive yambiro kwatiri, iyesu takasvikirwa nokuzadziswa kwokuguma kwenyika. (aiōn g165)
Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. (aiōn g165)
12 Saka, kana uchifunga kuti wakamira zvakasimba, chenjera kuti urege kuwa!
So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
13 Hakuna muedzo wakakuwirai imi, kunze kwaiwo unowira munhu wose. Uye Mwari akatendeka, haangatenderi kuti muedzwe kupfuura pamunogona napo. Asi kana muchiedzwa, iye achakupai nzira yokubuda nayo kuti mugone kutsunga pairi.
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
14 Naizvozvo, shamwari dzangu dzinodikanwa, tizai kunamata zvifananidzo.
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 Ndiri kutaura kuvanhu vakachenjera; zvitongerei pachenyu pane zvandinotaura.
I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
16 Ko, mukombe wokuvonga watinovonga, hakuzi kusangana neropa raKristu here? Uye chingwa chatinomedura, hakuzi kusangana nomuviri waKristu here?
Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
17 Nokuti pane chingwa chimwe chete, isu vazhinji tiri muviri mumwe, nokuti tinogovana tose pachingwa chimwe.
Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
18 Cherechedzai vanhu veIsraeri: Ko, avo vanodya zvibayiro havagovani nearitari here?
Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
19 Ko, ndinoreva kuti chibayiro chinobayirwa chifananidzo chinhu here, kana kuti chifananidzo chinhu here?
Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20 Kwete, asi zvibayiro zvavahedheni zvinopiwa kumadhimoni kwete kuna Mwari, uye ini handidi kuti mugovane namadhimoni.
No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.
21 Hamunganwi mukombe waShe uye nomukombe wamadhimoniwo; hamungavi nomugove patafura yaShe uye napatafura yamadhimoni.
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
22 Tiri kuedza kumutsa godo raShe here? Takasimba kupfuura iye here?
Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23 Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa, asi hazvisi zvose zvinobatsira. Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa, asi hazvisi zvose zvinovaka.
“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
24 Munhu ngaarege kutsvaka zvakamunakira iye, asi zvakanakira vamwe.
No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
25 Idyai zvose zvinotengeswa pamusika wenyama musingabvunzi chinhu nokuda kwehana,
Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
26 nokuti, “Nyika ndeyaShe, nokuzara kwayo.”
for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
27 Kana mumwe asingatendi akakukoka kuzodya, uye kana uchida kuenda, udye zvose zvinenge zvaiswa pamberi pako usingabvunzi mubvunzo nokuda kwehana.
If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
28 Asi kana mumwe akati kwauri, “Ichi chipiriso chakabayirwa,” rega kudya, nokuda kwaiye akuratidza, uye nokuda kwehana,
But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—
29 ndinoreva hana yomumwe, kwete yako. Nokuti kusununguka kwangu kungatongerweiko nehana yomumwe?
the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
30 Kana ini ndichidya ndavonga, ndingagotukirweiko nokuda kwechinhu chandavonga Mwari pamusoro pacho?
If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
31 Naizvozvo, kunyange muchidya kana kunwa, chinhu chipi nechipi chamungaita, itai zvose kuti Mwari agokudzwa.
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
32 Musagumbusa munhu upi noupi zvake, angava muJudha, kana muGiriki kana kereke yaMwari,
Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—
33 kunyange sezvandinoedzawo kufadza munhu wose pazvinhu zvose. Nokuti handitsvaki zvakandinakira ini asi zvakanakira vazhinji, kuitira kuti vagoponeswa.
as I also try to please everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.
