1 VaKorinde 10
1 Nokuti hama dzangu, handidi kuti murege kuziva kuti madzibaba edu ose akanga ari pasi pegore uye kuti vose vakayambuka gungwa.
Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 Vose vakabhabhatidzwa muna Mozisi mugore nomugungwa.
and were all baptized 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 drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
5 Kunyange zvakadaro, Mwari haana kufadzwa navazhinji vavo; mitumbi yavo yakaparadzirwa murenje.
However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Zvino, zvinhu izvi zvakanga zviri semienzaniso kwatiri, kuti tirege kuisa mwoyo yedu pazvinhu zvakaipa sezvavakaita.
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Musanamata zvifananidzo, sezvakaita vamwe vavo; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Vanhu vakagara pasi vakadya, vakanwa, uye vakasimuka kuti vatambe.”
Neither be idolaters, as some of them were. 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 sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
9 Hatifaniri kuedza Ishe, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakaurayiwa nenyoka.
Neither let us test the Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
10 Uye murege kugununʼuna sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakazourayiwa nomutumwa wokuparadza.
Neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, 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)
Now these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
12 Saka, kana uchifunga kuti wakamira zvakasimba, chenjera kuti urege kuwa!
Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he does not 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 what is common to humanity. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure 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 as to wise people. 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 blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a sharing of 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 of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
18 Cherechedzai vanhu veIsraeri: Ko, avo vanodya zvibayiro havagovani nearitari here?
Consider Israel according to the flesh. Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
19 Ko, ndinoreva kuti chibayiro chinobayirwa chifananidzo chinhu here, kana kuti chifananidzo chinhu here?
What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20 Kwete, asi zvibayiro zvavahedheni zvinopiwa kumadhimoni kwete kuna Mwari, uye ini handidi kuti mugovane namadhimoni.
But I say that the things which pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I do not desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
21 Hamunganwi mukombe waShe uye nomukombe wamadhimoniwo; hamungavi nomugove patafura yaShe uye napatafura yamadhimoni.
You cannot both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.
22 Tiri kuedza kumutsa godo raShe here? Takasimba kupfuura iye here?
Or do we 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.
"All things are lawful," but not all things are profitable. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up.
24 Munhu ngaarege kutsvaka zvakamunakira iye, asi zvakanakira vamwe.
Let no one seek his own, but his neighbor's good.
25 Idyai zvose zvinotengeswa pamusika wenyama musingabvunzi chinhu nokuda kwehana,
Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
26 nokuti, “Nyika ndeyaShe, nokuzara kwayo.”
for "the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness."
27 Kana mumwe asingatendi akakukoka kuzodya, uye kana uchida kuenda, udye zvose zvinenge zvaiswa pamberi pako usingabvunzi mubvunzo nokuda kwehana.
But if one of those who do not believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
28 Asi kana mumwe akati kwauri, “Ichi chipiriso chakabayirwa,” rega kudya, nokuda kwaiye akuratidza, uye nokuda kwehana,
But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," 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?
Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
30 Kana ini ndichidya ndavonga, ndingagotukirweiko nokuda kwechinhu chandavonga Mwari pamusoro pacho?
If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for that for which I give thanks?
31 Naizvozvo, kunyange muchidya kana kunwa, chinhu chipi nechipi chamungaita, itai zvose kuti Mwari agokudzwa.
Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Musagumbusa munhu upi noupi zvake, angava muJudha, kana muGiriki kana kereke yaMwari,
Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God;
33 kunyange sezvandinoedzawo kufadza munhu wose pazvinhu zvose. Nokuti handitsvaki zvakandinakira ini asi zvakanakira vazhinji, kuitira kuti vagoponeswa.
even as I also please all people in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
