1 VaKorinde 3
1 Hama, ndakanga ndisingagoni kutaura nemi savanhu vomweya asi savanhu venyama, vacheche zvavo muna Kristu.
AND I, my brethren, could not speak with you as with the spiritual, but as with the carnal, and as with babes in the Meshiha.
2 Ndakakupai mukaka, kwete zvokudya zvikukutu, nokuti makanga musingagoni kudya. Zvirokwazvo, hamusati mava kugona kudya nazvino.
I have sustained you with milk, and have not given you meat; for as yet you could not, nor can you now, (bear it).
3 Nokuti muchiri venyama. Nokuti sezvo pakati penyu pachine godo negakava, ko, hamusi venyika here? Ko, hamusi kufamba savanhuwo zvavo here?
For as yet you are in the flesh. For while there are among you envy and contentions and divisions, are you not carnal, and walking in the flesh?
4 Nokuti kana mumwe achiti, “Ini ndiri waPauro,” mumwe achiti, “Ini ndiri waAporosi,” ko, hamusi vanhuwo zvavo here?
For while some of you say, I am of Paulos, and another, I am of Apollo, are you not carnal?
5 Aporosi chiiko? Uye Pauro chiiko? Varanda bedzi; vamakatenda kubudikidza navo mumwe nomumwe sezvaakapiwa naShe.
For who is Paulos, or who Apollo, but ministers by whom you have believed and each as the Lord gave to him?
6 Ini ndakasima, Aporosi akadiridza, asi Mwari ndiye akameresa.
I have planted, and Apollo watered, but Aloha made to increase.
7 Saka naizvozvo anosima kana anodiridza haazi chinhu, asi Mwari chete, iye anomeresa zvinhu.
He then who planteth is not any thing nor he who watereth; but Aloha who maketh to increase.
8 Munhu anosima nomunhu anodiridza vane chinangwa chimwe, uye mumwe nomumwe wavo achapiwa mubayiro maererano nezvaakabata pabasa rake.
But he who planteth and he who watereth are one, (and) each according to his labour his recompence receiveth.
9 Nokuti tiri vabati pamwe chete naMwari; muri munda waMwari, muri imba yaMwari.
For with Aloha we work; and the work of Aloha and the edifice of Aloha are you.
10 Nenyasha dzandakapiwa naMwari, ndakaronga nheyo somuvaki akachenjera, uye mumwewo ari kuvaka pamusoro payo. Asi mumwe nomumwe ngaachenjere kuti anovaka sei pamusoro payo.
And according to the grace of Aloha which is given to me, I have laid the foundation as a wise architect; but another hath built upon it.
11 Nokuti hakuna mumwe angaronga dzimwe nheyo kunze kwaiyo yakarongwa kare, inova ndiyo Jesu Kristu.
But let every man beware how he buildeth upon it. For another foundation besides this which is laid no man can lay, (that, namely, ) which is Jeshu the Meshiha.
12 Zvino kana munhu achivaka panheyo iyi achishandisa goridhe, kana sirivha kana mabwe anokosha, kana matanda, kana uswa, kana mashanga,
And if any man build upon this foundation gold, or silver, or precious stones; or wood, or hay, or stubble;
13 basa rake richaonekwa kuti rakaitwa nei, nokuti Zuva iro richazvibudisa pachena. Richaratidzwa nomoto, uye moto uchaedza basa romumwe nomumwe.
the work of every one shall be revealed, for that day shall reveal it; for by the fire shall it be revealed, and the work of every man as it is the fire shall distinguish.
14 Kana zvaakavaka zvikagara, iye achagamuchira mubayiro wake.
And he whose work which he builded shall abide, will receive his recompense;
15 Kana zvikapiswa, iye acharasikirwa: asi iye pachake achaponeswa: asi souya abuda mumoto.
and he whose work shall be burned, shall fail; but he (himself) shall be rescued, but so as from fire.
16 Ko, hamuzivi here kuti muri temberi yaMwari uye kuti Mweya waMwari anogara mamuri?
KNOW YOU not that you are the temple of Aloha, and (that) the Spirit of Aloha inhabiteth in you?
17 Kana munhu achiparadza temberi yaMwari, Mwari achamuparadza; nokuti temberi yaMwari itsvene, ndimi temberi yacho.
Whoso destroyeth the temple of Aloha, him will Aloha destroy for the temple of Aloha is holy, which you are.
18 Musazvinyengera. Kana mumwe wenyu achizviti akachenjera namaonero enyika ino, ngaave “benzi” kuti ave akachenjera. (aiōn g165)
Let no man deceive himself. Whoever among you supposeth himself wise in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Nokuti uchenjeri hwenyika ino upenzi pamberi paMwari. Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Anobata vakachenjera pamano avo,”
For the wisdom of this world is folly with Aloha; for it is written, He hath taken the wise in their own craftiness.
20 uye zvakare, “Ishe anoziva kuti mifungo yavakachenjera haina maturo.”
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Naizvozvo ngakurege kuva nomunhu anozvikudza pamusoro pavanhu! Zvinhu zvose ndezvenyu,
On this account let no one boast in men: for every thing is yours;
22 angava Pauro kana Aporosi, kana Kefasi, kana nyika, kana upenyu, kana rufu, kana zvazvino, kana zvinouya, zvose ndezvenyu,
whether Paulos, or Apolo, or Kipha, or the world, or life, or death, or things standing, or things to be; every thing is yours,
23 uye muri vanhu vaKristu, uye Kristu ndewaMwari.
and you are of the Meshiha, and the Meshiha of Aloha.
