1 VaKorinde 16
1 Zvino pamusoro pezvipo zvakaunganidzirwa vanhu vaMwari: Itaiwo sezvandakarayira kereke dzavaGaratia kuti dziite.
Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also are to do as I directed the church of Galatia.
2 Nomusi wokutanga wevhiki roga roga, mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaakamure mari kubva pamari yake zvichienderana napaanowana napo, muiunganidze pamwe chete, kuitira kuti pandinouya kurege kuzounganidzwa zvipo.
On the first day of each week let each of you put aside something, keeping it in store as he may prosper, so that when I come there may be no collections going on.
3 Zvino, kana ndasvika, ndichazopa matsamba okuzivisa kuvarume vamunenge masarudza uye ndichavatuma nechipo chenyu kuJerusarema.
On my arrival I will send those whom you may accredit by letter to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.
4 Kana zvakafanira kuti ndiendewo, vachaenda neni.
And if it is worth while for me to go too, they will accompany me.
5 Mushure mokupfuura nokuMasedhonia, ndichauya kwamuri, nokuti ndichapfuura nokuMasedhonia.
Now I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia.
6 Zvimwe ndichagara nemi kwechinguva, kana kutopedza nguva yechando, kuitira kuti mugondibatsirawo parwendo rwangu, kwose kwandinoenda.
I shall remain some time with you; possibly spending the winter, in order that you may help me forward in whatever journey I take.
7 Nokuti handidi kukuonai zvino nokukushanyirai ndichingopfuura bedzi; ndine tariro yokuva nemi kwechinguvana, kana Ishe akatendera.
For I do not wish at this present time to see you merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.
8 Asi ndichati garei paEfeso kusvikira paPendekosti,
I am staying for the present in Ephesus, until Pentecost;
9 nokuti ndazarurirwa musuo mukuru wokuita basa guru, uyewo kune vazhinji vanondipikisa.
for a door has opened to me, great and effectual, and the opponents are many.
10 Kana Timoti akauya, chenjerai kuti agare nemi asina chaangatya ari pakati penyu nokuti anobata basa raShe, sezvandinoita neniwo.
If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I am, so let no one disparage him.
11 Naizvozvo, ngakurege kuva nomumwe anoramba kumugamuchira. Muperekedzei parwendo rwake norugare kuti akwanise kuuya kwandiri. Ndiri kumutarisira pamwe chete nehama.
Whenever he comes to me, send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.
12 Zvino pamusoro pehama yedu Aporosi: Ndakamukurudzira kwazvo kuti auye kwamuri pamwe chete nedzimwe hama. Akanga asingadi kuuya iye zvino, asi achauya kana awana mukana.
As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.
13 Rindai; mirai nesimba mukutenda; ivai varume vakashinga; ivai nesimba.
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.
14 Itai zvinhu zvose murudo.
Let all that you do be done in love.
15 Munoziva kuti mhuri yaStefanasi ndivo vakava vatendi vokutanga muAkaya, uye vakazvipira kushumira vatsvene. Ndinokukurudzirai hama,
I beg you this, my brothers - you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints -
16 kuti muzviise pasi pevakadai seava nepasi pavose vanobatana nesu pabasa, uye nevanoshingaira pariri.
so I want you also to show deference to such, and to every fellow worker, and laborer.
17 Ndakafara pakasvika Stefanasi, naFochunatusi naAkayikasi, nokuti vakandiitira zvamakanga musingagoni kundiitira imi.
I am glad that Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.
18 Nokuti vakazorodza mweya wangu neyenyuwo. Varume vakadai vanofanira kukudzwa.
They refresh my spirit as they do yours. So cultivate the acquaintance of such men.
19 Kereke dziri mudunhu reEzhia dzinokukwazisai. Akwira naPirisira vanokukwazisai zvikuru muna She, uyewo nekereke inoungana mumba mavo.
The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla (Prisca), with the church that meets in their house, greet you heartily in the Lord.
20 Hama dzose dziri kuno dzinokukwazisai. Kwazisanai nokutsvoda kutsvene.
All the brothers send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 Ini Pauro, ndanyora kwaziso iyi noruoko rwangu.
The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand.
22 Kana mumwe munhu asingadi Ishe, kutukwa ngakuve pamusoro pake. Uyai, imi Ishe!
If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord is coming.
23 Nyasha dzaIshe Jesu ngadzive nemi.
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
24 Rudo rwangu ngaruve nemi mose muna Kristu Jesu. Ameni.
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
