1 VaKorinde 1

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

Paul, called to be an emissary of Messiah Yeshua by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

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 congregation of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Messiah Yeshua, called to be kadoshim, with all who call on the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:

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

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

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

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Yeshua;

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

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

6 sezvo uchapupu hwaKristu hwakasimbiswa mamuri;

even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:

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

so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to be revealed;

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

who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

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

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Yeshua the 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.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.

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

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, 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.

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Kefa," and, "I follow Messiah."

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

Is Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?

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

I thank God that I immersed none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 kuti kurege kuva neanoti ndakabhabhatidza muzita rangu ndomene.

so that no one should say that you had been immersed into my own name.

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

(Now I also immersed the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I immersed any other.)

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

For Messiah sent me not to immerse, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Messiah would not be made void.

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

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power 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 the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

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

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

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

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22 Nokuti neVaJudha vanokumbira chiratidzo, VaGirikiwo vanotsvaka uchenjeri;

For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,

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

but we preach Messiah crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,

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

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is the power 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 man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.

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

For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.

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

But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.

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

And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,

29 kuti kusava nenyama ingazvikudza pamberi pake.

that no flesh might boast before God.

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

And because of him you are in Messiah Yeshua, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 kuti sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Anozvikudza, ngaazvikudze muna Ishe.

so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
