1 VaKorinde 10
1 Nokuti hama dzangu, handidi kuti murege kuziva kuti madzibaba edu ose akanga ari pasi pegore uye kuti vose vakayambuka gungwa.
For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.
2 Vose vakabhabhatidzwa muna Mozisi mugore nomugungwa.
And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:
3 Vose vakadya zvokudya zvimwe chete zvoMweya
And did all eat 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 all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)
5 Kunyange zvakadaro, Mwari haana kufadzwa navazhinji vavo; mitumbi yavo yakaparadzirwa murenje.
But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
6 Zvino, zvinhu izvi zvakanga zviri semienzaniso kwatiri, kuti tirege kuisa mwoyo yedu pazvinhu zvakaipa sezvavakaita.
Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.
7 Musanamata zvifananidzo, sezvakaita vamwe vavo; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Vanhu vakagara pasi vakadya, vakanwa, uye vakasimuka kuti vatambe.”
Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Hatifaniri kuita upombwe, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakafa zviuru makumi maviri nezvitatu muzuva rimwe chete.
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Hatifaniri kuedza Ishe, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakaurayiwa nenyoka.
Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.
10 Uye murege kugununʼuna sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakazourayiwa nomutumwa wokuparadza.
Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11 Zvinhu izvi zvakaitika kwavari semienzaniso kwatiri uye zvikanyorwa kuti zvive yambiro kwatiri, iyesu takasvikirwa nokuzadziswa kwokuguma kwenyika. (aiōn g165)
Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (aiōn g165)
12 Saka, kana uchifunga kuti wakamira zvakasimba, chenjera kuti urege kuwa!
Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he 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.
Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.
14 Naizvozvo, shamwari dzangu dzinodikanwa, tizai kunamata zvifananidzo.
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
15 Ndiri kutaura kuvanhu vakachenjera; zvitongerei pachenyu pane zvandinotaura.
I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
16 Ko, mukombe wokuvonga watinovonga, hakuzi kusangana neropa raKristu here? Uye chingwa chatinomedura, hakuzi kusangana nomuviri waKristu here?
The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?
17 Nokuti pane chingwa chimwe chete, isu vazhinji tiri muviri mumwe, nokuti tinogovana tose pachingwa chimwe.
For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
18 Cherechedzai vanhu veIsraeri: Ko, avo vanodya zvibayiro havagovani nearitari here?
Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
19 Ko, ndinoreva kuti chibayiro chinobayirwa chifananidzo chinhu here, kana kuti chifananidzo chinhu here?
What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?
20 Kwete, asi zvibayiro zvavahedheni zvinopiwa kumadhimoni kwete kuna Mwari, uye ini handidi kuti mugovane namadhimoni.
But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.
21 Hamunganwi mukombe waShe uye nomukombe wamadhimoniwo; hamungavi nomugove patafura yaShe uye napatafura yamadhimoni.
You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord, and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.
22 Tiri kuedza kumutsa godo raShe here? Takasimba kupfuura iye here?
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.
23 Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa, asi hazvisi zvose zvinobatsira. Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa, asi hazvisi zvose zvinovaka.
All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.
24 Munhu ngaarege kutsvaka zvakamunakira iye, asi zvakanakira vamwe.
Let no man seek his own, but that which is another’s.
25 Idyai zvose zvinotengeswa pamusika wenyama musingabvunzi chinhu nokuda kwehana,
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience’ sake.
26 nokuti, “Nyika ndeyaShe, nokuzara kwayo.”
The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
27 Kana mumwe asingatendi akakukoka kuzodya, uye kana uchida kuenda, udye zvose zvinenge zvaiswa pamberi pako usingabvunzi mubvunzo nokuda kwehana.
If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.
28 Asi kana mumwe akati kwauri, “Ichi chipiriso chakabayirwa,” rega kudya, nokuda kwaiye akuratidza, uye nokuda kwehana,
But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols, do not eat of it for his sake that told it, and for conscience’ sake.
29 ndinoreva hana yomumwe, kwete yako. Nokuti kusununguka kwangu kungatongerweiko nehana yomumwe?
Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?
30 Kana ini ndichidya ndavonga, ndingagotukirweiko nokuda kwechinhu chandavonga Mwari pamusoro pacho?
If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
31 Naizvozvo, kunyange muchidya kana kunwa, chinhu chipi nechipi chamungaita, itai zvose kuti Mwari agokudzwa.
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Musagumbusa munhu upi noupi zvake, angava muJudha, kana muGiriki kana kereke yaMwari,
Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to 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 in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.
