< 1 VaKorinde 8 >
1 Zvino, pamusoro pezvokudya zvakabayirwa kuzvifananidzo: Tinoziva kuti tose tino ruzivo. Ruzivo runouyisa kuzvikudza, asi rudo runovaka.
Eshi ahusu evyalyae vyavifumizwe sadaka huvifwani(sanamu): timenye huje “ate tenti tili na maarifa.” Amaarifa galeta amadiholelo ulugano luzenga.
2 Munhu anofunga kuti anoziva chinhu achigere kuziva zvaanofanira kuziva.
Nkashele umuntu aiga emenye ijambo fulani, umuntu uyo samenye shashihwanziwa amanye.
3 Asi munhu anoda Mwari anozivikanwa naMwari.
Nkashe umuntu umo ageewe Ungulubhi, umuntu uyo amanyihene nawo.
4 Saka naizvozvo, pamusoro pokudya zvokudya zvakabayirwa kuzvifananidzo: Tinoziva kuti chifananidzo hachizi chinhu zvachose panyika uye kuti hakuna Mwari, asi iye mumwe chete.
Alengane nevyalye vyabhafumizye sadaka huvifwani: ate timenye huje “evifwani sehantu pansi epa,” nahaje huumo Ngulubhi uwamwao ali umo owene.”
5 Nokuti kunyange dai varipo vanonzi vamwari, kungava kudenga kana panyika (sezvavaripo zvirokwazvo “vamwari” vazhinji uye na“madzishe” mazhinji),
Maana bhahweli bhabhahwetwa bangulubhi bhiinji nkapansi au humwanya neshi shabhali aNgulubhi binji naagosi bhinji.”
6 asi isu tina Mwari mumwe chete, ivo Baba, zvinhu zvose zvakabva kwavari uye ndivo vatinoraramira; uye tina She mumwe chete, Jesu Kristu, zvinhu zvose zvakavapo kubudikidza naye, uye nesu tinorarama kubudikidza naye.
“Lelote hulite Ungulubhi ali uumo tu uyo yuise witu, ne vintu vyonti vyafumile hwa mwene, na hwa mwene nate tihweli.”
7 Asi havasi vose vanoziva izvi. Vamwe vanhu vachakabatwa nezvifananidzo zvokuti kana vachidya zvakadai vanodya vachiti zvakabayirwa kuzvifananidzo, uye sezvo hana yavo isati yasimba, inoshatiswa.
Ezi sebhantu bonti bhazimenye maana bhamo bhahavwanaga abhombe emputo ezyeshifwani ata eshi evyalye evi vyabhalya bali shabhaiga sadaka zyeshifwani. Amoyo gabho gatejile gali madhifu.
8 Asi, zvokudya hazvingatisvitsi pedyo naMwari; hatina kuipa kana tisina kudya uye hatinatswi kana tadya.
Ishalye sigashaitibhonesya hwa Ngulubhi. Siyo huje tibhabhibhi tee nkasigatilya nantele siyo huje tibhinza tee nkatilya.
9 Asi chenjerai, kuti simba renyu iri rirege kuva chigumbuso kuna vasina simba.
Lelo mubhe maso nelii peponjajile esho musahauisanye hunongwa ye vyalye na dhifu bhe lweteho.
10 Nokuti kana mumwe asina simba achikuona iwe uno ruzivo urwu uchidya uri mutemberi yechifananidzo, ko, hana yaiye asina simba haingatsungiswi kuti adye izvo zvakabayirwa kuzvifananidzo here?
Aweseebha tenye umuntu nkalolile ulya vyamukhenwe umuntu uyo gwavitwa umwoyo gwakwe sewewe wananlanya?
11 Naizvozvo, hama iyi isina simba, iyo yakafirwa naKristu ichaparadzwa nokuziva kwako.
Awe nkumenye evintu evinza nevibhibhi usajilaje uwa nuwenyu asahateje hunongwa ya amanye hwaho wope uyo uYesu afweleye.
12 Kana mukatadzira hama dzenyu zvakadai uye muchikuvadza hana dzavo dzisina simba, munotadzira Kristu.
Namubhomba iyavisye abhanje muhuvisya yu Yesu namuvwalazya amoyo gabhantu muhuvwalazya yu Yesu.
13 Naizvozvo, kana zvandinodya zvichigumbusa hama yangu handichazodyizve nyama, kuti ndirege kuzomugumbusa. (aiōn )
Lelo eshalye nkashele shisababisya envitwo hwawenje embashileshe eshalye esho ili ensaavisye uholo wane neshalye shane, nashele ulweteho. (aiōn )
