1 VaKorinde 12

1 Zvino pamusoro pezvipo zvoMweya, hama, handidi kuti muve musingazivi.

Now concerning the spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

2 Munoziva kuti pamakanga muri vahedheni, makanga muchitungamirirwa uye nokutsauswa muchiiswa kuzvifananidzo zvisingagoni kutaura.

You know that when you were pagans you were always led toward the mute idols, being carried away.

3 Naizvozvo ndinokuudzai kuti hakuna munhu anotaura noMweya waMwari anoti, “Jesu ngaatukwe.” Uye hakuna munhu anoti, “Jesu ndiye Ishe,” asi naMweya Mutsvene.

Therefore I inform you that no one speaking by God's Spirit calls Jesus accursed, and no one can declare Jesus to be Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

4 Kuna marudzi akasiyana ezvipo, asi Mweya ndomumwe.

Now there are allotments of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 Kuna marudzi akasiyana oushumiri, asi Ishe mumwe.

And there are allotments of ministries, and the same Lord.

6 Kuna marudzi akasiyana amabasa, asi Mwari mumwe ndiye anoita zvose muvanhu vose.

And there are allotments of activities, but the same God is He who works them all, in all.

7 Zvino mumwe nomumwe anopiwa kuratidzwa kwoMweya kuti vose vabatsirwe.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the common good.

8 Nokuti mumwe anopiwa noMweya shoko rouchenjeri, mumwe shoko rokuziva noMweya mumwe chete,

So to one a word of wisdom is given, by the Spirit; to another a word of knowledge, by the same Spirit;

9 mumwe kutenda noMweya mumwe chete, mumwe zvipo zvokuporesa noMweya mumwe chete,

to a different one faith, by the same Spirit; to another presents of healings, by the same Spirit;

10 mumwe mabasa esimba, mumwe kuprofita, mumwe kuzivisisa mweya, mumwe kutaura nendimi dzakasiyana-siyana, uyezve mumwe kududzirwa kwendimi.

to another workings of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discernings of spirits; to a different one kinds of languages, to another interpretation of languages.

11 Zvose ibasa raMweya mumwe chete uye anopa mumwe nomumwe, sezvaanoda.

However, the one and the same Spirit produces all of these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

12 Muviri chinhu chimwe chete, kunyange une mitezo mizhinji; uye kunyange mitezo yawo iri mizhinji, inoumba muviri mumwe chete. Ndizvowo zvakaita Kristu.

Now just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, though being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.

13 Nokuti tose takabhabhatidzwa noMweya mumwe mumuviri mumwe, vangava vaJudha kana vaGiriki, varanda kana vakasununguka, uye tose tikapiwa kuti tinwe Mweya mumwe.

For we also were all baptized into one body by one Spirit—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and were all given to drink into one Spirit.

14 Zvino muviri hauna kuumbwa nomutezo mumwe, asi mizhinji.

For in fact the body is not one part but many.

15 Kana rutsoka rukati, “Nokuti handisi ruoko, saka handisi womuviri,” harungaregi kuva chikamu chomuviri nokuda kwechikonzero ichocho.

If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” it would not therefore cease to be of the body.

16 Uye kana nenzeve ikati, “Nokuti handisi ziso, saka handisi chikamu chomuviri,” haringaregi kuva chikamu chomuviri nokuda kwechikonzero ichocho.

And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” it would not therefore cease to be of the body.

17 Kana kuti dai muviri wose waiva ziso, kunzwa kwaizovepiko? Kana kuti dai muviri wose waive nzeve, ko, kunhuhwidza kwaizovepiko?

If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?

18 Asi zvino Mwari akaisa mitezo pamuviri, mumwe nomumwe wayo, sezvaakada kuti ive.

But God has really placed the members in the body, each one of them, just as He pleased.

19 Kana dai yose waiva mutezo mumwe, ko, muviri waizovepiko?

(If the whole were just one member, where would the body be?

20 Sezvazviri, kune mitezo mizhinji asi muviri mumwe.

But in fact the parts are many but the body one.)

21 Ziso haringati kuruoko, “Handinei newe!” Uye musoro haungati kurutsoka, “Handinei newe!”

Further, the eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I do not need you.”

22 Asi kutoti mitezo yomuviri inenge isina simba, ndiyo inodikanwa,

Much to the contrary, those members of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary.

23 uye mitezo yatinofunga kuti haikudzwi ndiyo yatinokudza kwazvo,

And the parts of the body that we consider to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentables have special modesty,

24 asi mitezo yakanaka haidi kushongedzwa. Asi Mwari akabatanidza mitezo yomuviri uye akapa kukudzwa kukuru kumitezo iya isingakudzwi,

while our presentables do not need it. Yes, God has blended the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacks it,

25 kuitira kuti parege kuva nokupesana pamuviri, asi kuti mitezo ichengetane zvakaenzana.

so that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another;

26 Kana mumwe mutezo uchitambudzika, mitezo yose inotambudzika pamwe chete nawo; kana mutezo mumwe ukakudzwa, mitezo yose inofara pamwe chete nawo.

and if one member suffers, all the members should suffer along, or if one member is honored, all the members should rejoice along.

27 Zvino imi muri muviri waKristu, uye mumwe nomumwe wenyu mutezo wawo.

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

28 Uye mukereke, Mwari akagadza pakutanga vapostori, vechipiri vaprofita, vechitatu vadzidzisi, tevere vaiti vezvishamiso, uye navane zvipo zvokuporesa, navanobatsira vamwe, vaya vane zvipo zvokufambisa basa, uye navaya vanotaura nendimi dzakasiyana-siyana.

And those whom God has appointed in the Church are: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; after that miracles, then presents of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of languages.

29 Vose vapostori here? Vose vaprofita here? Vose vadzidzisi here? Vose vanoita zvishamiso here?

All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not miracle workers, are they?

30 Vose vane zvipo zvokuporesa here? Vose vanotaura nendimi here? Vose vanodudzira here?

All do not have presents of healings, do they? All do not speak languages, do they? All do not interpret, do they?

31 Asi shuvai kwazvo zvipo zvikuru. Uye zvino ndichakuratidzai nzira yakanaka kupfuura dzose.

But earnestly desire the best gifts.
