1 VaKorinde 1

1 Pauro wakadanwa kuva muapositori waJesu Kristu nechido chaMwari, naSositenesi hama,

PAUL, called and sent by Jesus Messiah in the good pleasure of God; and Sosthenes, a brother;

2 kukereke yaMwari iri paKorinde, kune vakaitwa vatsvene muna Jesu Kristu, vakadanwa kuva vatsvene, pamwe nevese vanodana kuzita raIshe wedu Kristu Jesu panzvimbo yega-yega, wavo neweduwo:

to the church of God which is at Corinth, to the people called and sanctified, who are sanctified in Jesus Messiah; and to all them, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, their and our Lord:

3 Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naIshe Jesu Kristu.

Grace be with you, and peace; from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah.

4 Ndinovonga Mwari wangu nguva dzese maererano nemwi, nekuda kwenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwamuri muna Kristu Jesu;

I thank my God at all times on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given to you in Jesus Messiah;

5 kuti pachinhu chese makafumiswa maari, panhaurwa yese neruzivo rwese,

that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all discourse, and in all knowledge;

6 sezvo uchapupu hwaKristu hwakasimbiswa mamuri;

even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed among you:

7 kuti hamushaiwi pane chimwe chipo, muchimirira kuratidzwa pachena kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,

so that ye are not inferior in any one of his gifts; but are waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Messiah:

8 iye achakusimbisaiwo kusvika kumagumo, kuti musava nemhosva pazuva raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.

who will confirm you unto the end, so that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

9 Mwari wakatendeka, wamakadanwa kubudikidza naye mukudyidzana kweMwanakomana wake Jesu Kristu Ishe wedu.

God is faithful; by whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Messiah, our Lord.

10 Zvino ndinokukumbirisai, hama, nezita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, kuti mese mutaure chinhu chimwe, uye pasava nekupatsanurana pakati penyu, asi muve vakakwana pamurangariro umwe nemuonero umwe.

And I beseech you, my Brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, that to you all there may be one language; and that there may be no divisions among you: but that ye may become perfectly of one mind, and of one way of thinking.

11 Nokuti ndakaudzwa pamusoro penyu, hama dzangu, nevekwaKirowa, kuti kune makakava pakati penyu.

For concerning you, my Brethren, it hath been reported to me by the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Zvino ndinoreva izvi, kuti umwe neumwe wenyu anoti: Ini ndiri waPauro, iniwo waAporo, asi ini waKefasi, iniwo waKristu.

And this I state: That one of you saith, I am of Paul; and another saith, I am of Apollos; and another saith, I am of Cephas; and another saith, I am of Messiah.

13 Kristu wakapatsanurwa here? Ko Pauro wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa imwi here, kana makabhabhatidzwa muzita raPauro here?

Now was Messiah divided? Or was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

14 Ndinovonga Mwari kuti handina kubhabhatidza umwe wenyu, kunze kwaKrispo naGayo;

I thank my God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;

15 kuti kurege kuva neanoti ndakabhabhatidza muzita rangu ndomene.

lest any one should say, that I baptized in my own name.

16 Uye ndakabhabhatidzawo imba yaStefana; kunze kweizvi handizivi kana ndakabhabhatidza umwe munhu.

I moreover baptized the household of Stephanas: but further, I know not that I baptized any other.

17 Nokuti Kristu wakandituma kwete kuzobhabhatidza, asi kuzoparidza evhangeri; kwete nenjere dzeshoko, kuti zvimwe muchinjikwa waKristu ushaiswe maturo.

For Messiah did not send me to baptize, but to preach; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Messiah should be inefficient.

18 Nokuti shoko remuchinjikwa kuna vanoparadzwa upenzi, asi kwatiri isu vanoponeswa isimba raMwari.

For a discourse concerning the cross is, to them who perish, foolishness; but to us who live, it is the energy of God.

19 Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Ndichaparadza njere dzevakachenjera, ndichashaisa maturo kunzwisisa kwevanzwisisi.

For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will dissipate the intelligence of the sagacious.

20 Aripi wakachenjera? Aripi munyori? Aripi mukakavari wenyika ino? Mwari haana kuita uchenjeri hwenyika ino upenzi here? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? Or where is the scribe? Or where is the disputant of this world? Lo, hath not God showed, that the wisdom of this world is folly? (aiōn g165)

21 Nokuti zvakadaro muuchenjeri hwaMwari nyika neuchenjeri haina kuziva Mwari, zvakafadza Mwari neupenzi hwemharidzo kuponesa vanotenda.

For in the wisdom of God, because the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to quicken them who believe.

22 Nokuti neVaJudha vanokumbira chiratidzo, VaGirikiwo vanotsvaka uchenjeri;

Because the Jews ask for signs, and the Gentiles demand wisdom.

23 asi isu tinoparidza Kristu wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa, kuVaJudha chigumbuso, nekuVaGiriki upenzi;

But we preach Messiah as crucified; which is a stumbling-block to the Jews, and foolishness to the Gentiles;

24 asi kune vakadanwa, VaJudha pamwe neVaGiriki, Kristu isimba raMwari nenjere dzaMwari;

but to them who are called, both Jews and Gentiles, Messiah is the energy of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 nokuti upenzi hwaMwari hwakachenjera kupfuura hwevanhu, neutera hwaMwari hwakasimba kupfuura hwevanhu.

Because the foolishness of God, is wiser than men; and the feebleness of God, is stronger than men.

26 Nokuti tarirai kudanwa kwenyu, hama, kuti havasi vazhinji vakachenjera panyama, havasi vazhinji vane simba, havasi vazhinji vepamusoro;

For look also at your calling, my Brethren; that not many among you are wise, according to the flesh; and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you are of high birth.

27 asi Mwari wakasarudza zvinhu zveupenzi zvenyika, kuti anyadzise vakachenjera; uye Mwari wakasarudza zvinhu zveutera zvenyika, kuti anyadzise zvine simba;

But God hath chosen the foolish ones of the world, to shame the wise; and he hath chosen the feeble ones of the world, to shame the mighty;

28 nezvinhu zvepasi zvenyika nezvinhu zvinozvidzwa Mwari wakasarudza, nezvinhu zvisipo, kuti ashaise zvinhu zviripo maturo;

and he hath chosen those of humble birth in the world, and the despised, and them who are nothing, to bring to naught them who are something:

29 kuti kusava nenyama ingazvikudza pamberi pake.

so that no flesh might, glory before him.

30 Asi naye imwi muri muna Kristu Jesu, wakaitirwa isu uchenjeri hunobva kuna Mwari, nekururama, nekuitwa vatsvene, nerudzikunuro;

And ye, moreover, are of him in Jesus Messiah; who hath become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

31 kuti sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Anozvikudza, ngaazvikudze muna Ishe.

according to that which is written: He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
