1 VaKorinde 10
1 Nokuti hama dzangu, handidi kuti murege kuziva kuti madzibaba edu ose akanga ari pasi pegore uye kuti vose vakayambuka gungwa.
And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
2 Vose vakabhabhatidzwa muna Mozisi mugore nomugungwa.
and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;
3 Vose vakadya zvokudya zvimwe chete zvoMweya
and 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 all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
5 Kunyange zvakadaro, Mwari haana kufadzwa navazhinji vavo; mitumbi yavo yakaparadzirwa murenje.
but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
6 Zvino, zvinhu izvi zvakanga zviri semienzaniso kwatiri, kuti tirege kuisa mwoyo yedu pazvinhu zvakaipa sezvavakaita.
and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these desired.
7 Musanamata zvifananidzo, sezvakaita vamwe vavo; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Vanhu vakagara pasi vakadya, vakanwa, uye vakasimuka kuti vatambe.”
Neither become idolaters, as certain of them, as it has been written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play”;
8 Hatifaniri kuita upombwe, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakafa zviuru makumi maviri nezvitatu muzuva rimwe chete.
neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
9 Hatifaniri kuedza Ishe, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakaurayiwa nenyoka.
neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents;
10 Uye murege kugununʼuna sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakazourayiwa nomutumwa wokuparadza.
neither murmur, as also some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
11 Zvinhu izvi zvakaitika kwavari semienzaniso kwatiri uye zvikanyorwa kuti zvive yambiro kwatiri, iyesu takasvikirwa nokuzadziswa kwokuguma kwenyika. (aiōn g165)
And all these things happened to those persons as types, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages came, (aiōn g165)
12 Saka, kana uchifunga kuti wakamira zvakasimba, chenjera kuti urege kuwa!
so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, 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.
No temptation has taken you—except that of man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above what you are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].
14 Naizvozvo, shamwari dzangu dzinodikanwa, tizai kunamata zvifananidzo.
For this reason, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
15 Ndiri kutaura kuvanhu vakachenjera; zvitongerei pachenyu pane zvandinotaura.
as to wise men I speak—judge what I say.
16 Ko, mukombe wokuvonga watinovonga, hakuzi kusangana neropa raKristu here? Uye chingwa chatinomedura, hakuzi kusangana nomuviri waKristu here?
The cup of the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? The bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?
17 Nokuti pane chingwa chimwe chete, isu vazhinji tiri muviri mumwe, nokuti tinogovana tose pachingwa chimwe.
Because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all partake of the one bread.
18 Cherechedzai vanhu veIsraeri: Ko, avo vanodya zvibayiro havagovani nearitari here?
See Israel according to the flesh! Are those not eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?
19 Ko, ndinoreva kuti chibayiro chinobayirwa chifananidzo chinhu here, kana kuti chifananidzo chinhu here?
What do I say then? That an idol is anything? Or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything?
20 Kwete, asi zvibayiro zvavahedheni zvinopiwa kumadhimoni kwete kuna Mwari, uye ini handidi kuti mugovane namadhimoni.
[No, ] but that the things that the nations sacrifice—they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.
21 Hamunganwi mukombe waShe uye nomukombe wamadhimoniwo; hamungavi nomugove patafura yaShe uye napatafura yamadhimoni.
You are not able to drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of demons; you are not able to partake of the table of the LORD and of the table of demons;
22 Tiri kuedza kumutsa godo raShe here? Takasimba kupfuura iye here?
do we arouse the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23 Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa, asi hazvisi zvose zvinobatsira. Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa, asi hazvisi zvose zvinovaka.
All things are lawful to me, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful to me, but not all things build up;
24 Munhu ngaarege kutsvaka zvakamunakira iye, asi zvakanakira vamwe.
let no one seek his own—but each another’s.
25 Idyai zvose zvinotengeswa pamusika wenyama musingabvunzi chinhu nokuda kwehana,
Eat whatever is sold in the meat-market, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
26 nokuti, “Nyika ndeyaShe, nokuzara kwayo.”
for the earth and its fullness [are] the LORD’s;
27 Kana mumwe asingatendi akakukoka kuzodya, uye kana uchida kuenda, udye zvose zvinenge zvaiswa pamberi pako usingabvunzi mubvunzo nokuda kwehana.
and if anyone of the unbelieving calls you, and you wish to go, eat all that is set before you, inquiring nothing, because of the conscience;
28 Asi kana mumwe akati kwauri, “Ichi chipiriso chakabayirwa,” rega kudya, nokuda kwaiye akuratidza, uye nokuda kwehana,
and if anyone may say to you, “This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,” do not eat, because of that one who showed [it], and of the conscience, for the LORD’s [is] the earth and its fullness:
29 ndinoreva hana yomumwe, kwete yako. Nokuti kusununguka kwangu kungatongerweiko nehana yomumwe?
and conscience, I say, not of yourself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another’s conscience?
30 Kana ini ndichidya ndavonga, ndingagotukirweiko nokuda kwechinhu chandavonga Mwari pamusoro pacho?
And if I partake thankfully, why am I spoken of [as] evil, for that for which I give thanks?
31 Naizvozvo, kunyange muchidya kana kunwa, chinhu chipi nechipi chamungaita, itai zvose kuti Mwari agokudzwa.
Whether, then, you eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
32 Musagumbusa munhu upi noupi zvake, angava muJudha, kana muGiriki kana kereke yaMwari,
become offenseless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the Assembly of God;
33 kunyange sezvandinoedzawo kufadza munhu wose pazvinhu zvose. Nokuti handitsvaki zvakandinakira ini asi zvakanakira vazhinji, kuitira kuti vagoponeswa.
as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many—that they may be saved.
