1 VaKorinde 6
1 Kana mumwe wenyu ane mhosva nomumwe, angatsunga here kumukwirira kumatare avasakarurama pano kumukwirira kuvatsvene?
If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?
2 Hamuzivi here kuti vatsvene vachatonga nyika? Zvino kana muchazotonga nyika, ko, hamungagoni kutonga mhosva duku duku here?
Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?
3 Ko, hamuzivi here kuti muchatonga vatumwa? Ko, kuzoti zvinhu zvoupenyu huno!
Do you not know that we are to sit in judgement upon angels--to say nothing of things belonging to this life?
4 Naizvozvo, kana mukapokana pamusoro pezvinhu zvakadai, gadzai savatongi kunyange vanhu vano kutenda kuduku vari mukereke.
If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church--is it they whom you make your judges?
5 Ndinodaro kuti munyadziswe. Ko, pangashayikwa munhu akachenjera pakati penyu here anogona kutonga mhosva pakati pavatendi?
I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,
6 Asi panzvimbo yokuti mudaro, hama inokwirira hama kumatare avasingatendi!
but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 Izvi zvokuti makatokwidzana kumatare pakati penyu zvinoreva kuti makatokundwa kare. Munoregereiko kubvuma kukanganisirwa? Munoregereiko kubvuma kubirwa?
To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?
8 Asi imi, pachenyu munoba uye munoita zvisakarurama, muchizviitira kuhama dzenyu.
On the contrary you yourselves inflict injustice and fraud, and upon brethren too.
9 Ko, hamuzivi here kuti vasakarurama havagari nhaka youmambo hwaMwari? Musanyengerwa: Nokuti mhombwe kana vanonamata zvifananidzo, kana zvifeve, kana varume vanoita zvoufeve, kana varume vanodanana navamwe varume,
Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,
10 kana mbavha, kana vana madyo, kana zvidhakwa, kana vanochera vamwe, kana makororo, havangagari nhaka youmambo hwaMwari.
nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.
11 Uye izvozvo ndizvo zvakanga zvakaita vamwe venyu. Asi makashambidzwa, mukaitwa vatsvene, mukaruramisirwa muzita raIshe Jesu Kristu, uye noMweya waMwari.
And all this describes what some of you were. But now you have had every stain washed off: now you have been set apart as holy: now you have been pronounced free from guilt; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.
12 Ndinotenderwa zvinhu zvose, asi hazvisi zvose zvinobatsira. Kwandiri zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa, asi handidi kutongwa kana nechimwe.
Everything is allowable to me, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable to me, but to nothing will I become a slave.
13 Zvokudya ndezvedumbu uye dumbu nderezvokudya, asi Mwari achaparadza zvose zviri zviviri. Muviri hauzi woupombwe, asi ndowaShe, uye naShe ndewomuviri.
Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;
14 Mwari akamutsa Ishe kubva kuvakafa nesimba rake uye achatimutsawo.
and as God by His power raised the Master to life, so He will also raise us up.
15 Hamuzivi here kuti miviri yenyu mitezo yaKristu? Zvino ndingatora here mitezo yaKristu ndigoiita mitezo youpombwe? Kwete napaduku pose!
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.
16 Hamuzivi here kuti uyo anosangana nechifeve naiye ava muviri mumwe naye? Nokuti zvinonzi, “Vaviri ava vachava nyama imwe.”
Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says, "The two shall become one."
17 Asi uyo akasanganiswa naShe ava mumwe naye mumweya.
But he who is in union with the Master is one with Him in spirit.
18 Tizai upombwe. Zvimwe zvivi zvose zvingaitwa nomunhu zviri kunze kwomuviri wake, asi uyo anoita chivi choupombwe anotadzira muviri wake.
Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
19 Hamuzivi here kuti muviri wenyu itemberi yaMweya Mutsvene, ari mamuri, uyo wamakagamuchira kubva kuna Mwari? Hamuzi venyu;
Or do you not know that your bodies are a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you--the Spirit whom you have from God?
20 makatengwa nomutengo. Naizvozvo kudzai Mwari nomuviri wenyu.
And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.
