1 VaKorinde 12
1 Zvino pamusoro pezvipo zvoMweya, hama, handidi kuti muve musingazivi.
It is important, brethren, that you should have clear knowledge on the subject of spiritual gifts.
2 Munoziva kuti pamakanga muri vahedheni, makanga muchitungamirirwa uye nokutsauswa muchiiswa kuzvifananidzo zvisingagoni kutaura.
You know that when you were heathens you went astray after dumb idols, wherever you happened to be led.
3 Naizvozvo ndinokuudzai kuti hakuna munhu anotaura noMweya waMwari anoti, “Jesu ngaatukwe.” Uye hakuna munhu anoti, “Jesu ndiye Ishe,” asi naMweya Mutsvene.
For this reason I would have you understand that no one speaking under the influence of The Spirit of God ever says, "Jesus is accursed," and that no one is able to say, "Jesus is Lord," except under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
4 Kuna marudzi akasiyana ezvipo, asi Mweya ndomumwe.
Now there are various kinds of gifts, but there is one and the same Spirit;
5 Kuna marudzi akasiyana oushumiri, asi Ishe mumwe.
various forms of official service, and yet one and the same Lord;
6 Kuna marudzi akasiyana amabasa, asi Mwari mumwe ndiye anoita zvose muvanhu vose.
diversities in work, and yet one and the same God--He who in each person brings about the whole result.
7 Zvino mumwe nomumwe anopiwa kuratidzwa kwoMweya kuti vose vabatsirwe.
But to each of us a manifestation of the Spirit has been granted for the common good.
8 Nokuti mumwe anopiwa noMweya shoko rouchenjeri, mumwe shoko rokuziva noMweya mumwe chete,
To one the utterance of wisdom has been granted through the Spirit; to another the utterance of knowledge in accordance with the will of the same Spirit;
9 mumwe kutenda noMweya mumwe chete, mumwe zvipo zvokuporesa noMweya mumwe chete,
to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit;
10 mumwe mabasa esimba, mumwe kuprofita, mumwe kuzivisisa mweya, mumwe kutaura nendimi dzakasiyana-siyana, uyezve mumwe kududzirwa kwendimi.
to another the exercise of miraculous powers; to another the gift of prophecy; to another the power of discriminating between prophetic utterances; to another varieties of the gift of 'tongues;' to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 Zvose ibasa raMweya mumwe chete uye anopa mumwe nomumwe, sezvaanoda.
But these results are all brought about by one and the same Spirit, who bestows His gifts upon each of us in accordance with His own will.
12 Muviri chinhu chimwe chete, kunyange une mitezo mizhinji; uye kunyange mitezo yawo iri mizhinji, inoumba muviri mumwe chete. Ndizvowo zvakaita Kristu.
For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ.
13 Nokuti tose takabhabhatidzwa noMweya mumwe mumuviri mumwe, vangava vaJudha kana vaGiriki, varanda kana vakasununguka, uye tose tikapiwa kuti tinwe Mweya mumwe.
For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us--whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men--were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.
14 Zvino muviri hauna kuumbwa nomutezo mumwe, asi mizhinji.
For the human body does not consist of one part, but of many.
15 Kana rutsoka rukati, “Nokuti handisi ruoko, saka handisi womuviri,” harungaregi kuva chikamu chomuviri nokuda kwechikonzero ichocho.
Were the foot to say, "Because I am not a hand I am not a part of the body," that would not make it any the less a part of the body.
16 Uye kana nenzeve ikati, “Nokuti handisi ziso, saka handisi chikamu chomuviri,” haringaregi kuva chikamu chomuviri nokuda kwechikonzero ichocho.
Or were the ear to say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," that would not make it any the less a part 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 the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the nostrils be?
18 Asi zvino Mwari akaisa mitezo pamuviri, mumwe nomumwe wayo, sezvaakada kuti ive.
But, as a matter of fact, God has arranged the parts in the body--every one of them--as He has seen fit.
19 Kana dai yose waiva mutezo mumwe, ko, muviri waizovepiko?
If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 Sezvazviri, kune mitezo mizhinji asi muviri mumwe.
But, as a matter of fact, there are many parts and but one body.
21 Ziso haringati kuruoko, “Handinei newe!” Uye musoro haungati kurutsoka, “Handinei newe!”
It is also impossible for the eye to say to the hand, "I do not need you;" or again for the head to say to the feet, "I do not need you."
22 Asi kutoti mitezo yomuviri inenge isina simba, ndiyo inodikanwa,
No, it is quite otherwise. Even those parts of the body which are apparently somewhat feeble are yet indispensable;
23 uye mitezo yatinofunga kuti haikudzwi ndiyo yatinokudza kwazvo,
and those which we deem less honorable we clothe with more abundant honor; and so our ungraceful parts come to have a more abundant grace, while our graceful parts have everything they need.
24 asi mitezo yakanaka haidi kushongedzwa. Asi Mwari akabatanidza mitezo yomuviri uye akapa kukudzwa kukuru kumitezo iya isingakudzwi,
But it was God who built up the body, and bestowed more abundant honor on the part that felt the need,
25 kuitira kuti parege kuva nokupesana pamuviri, asi kuti mitezo ichengetane zvakaenzana.
that there might be no disunion in the body, but that all the members might entertain the same anxious care for one another's welfare.
26 Kana mumwe mutezo uchitambudzika, mitezo yose inotambudzika pamwe chete nawo; kana mutezo mumwe ukakudzwa, mitezo yose inofara pamwe chete nawo.
And if one part is suffering, every other part suffers with it; or if one part is receiving special honor, every other part shares in the joy.
27 Zvino imi muri muviri waKristu, uye mumwe nomumwe wenyu mutezo wawo.
As for you, you are the body of Christ, and individually you are members of it.
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 by God's appointment there are in the Church--first Apostles, secondly Prophets, thirdly teachers. Then come miraculous powers, and then ability to cure diseases or render loving service, or powers of organization, or varieties of the gift of 'tongues.'
29 Vose vapostori here? Vose vaprofita here? Vose vadzidzisi here? Vose vanoita zvishamiso here?
Are all Apostles? Are all Prophets? Are all teachers?
30 Vose vane zvipo zvokuporesa here? Vose vanotaura nendimi here? Vose vanodudzira here?
Have all miraculous powers? Have all ability to cure diseases? Do all speak in 'tongues'? Do all interpret?
31 Asi shuvai kwazvo zvipo zvikuru. Uye zvino ndichakuratidzai nzira yakanaka kupfuura dzose.
But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others.
