1 VaKorinde 11

¹Ivai vateveri vangu, seni ndiri muteveri waKristu.Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

²Zvino, ndinokurumbidzai, nokuti munondirangarira pazvinhu zvose, muchichengeta tsika, sezvandakakupai idzo.Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

³Asi ndinoda kuti muzive kuti musoro womumwe nomumwe ndiye Kristu;vuye musoro womukadzi ndiye murume; vuye musoro waKristu ndiye Mwari.But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

⁴Murume mumwe nomumwe, unonyengetera kana kuporofita musoro wake wakafukidzwa, unoninipisa musoro wake.Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

⁵Asi mukadzi mumwe nomumwe, unonyengetera kana kuporofita musoro wake usina kufukidzwa, unoninipisa musoro wake; nokuti ndizvo zvimwe nokuvevurwa.But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

⁶Nokuti kana mukadzi asingafukidzwi, ngaachekerwe vhudzi rake vo; asi kana zvisingafaniri kuti mukadzi achekerwe vhudzi, kana avevurwe, ngaafukidzwe.For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

⁷Nokuti murume haafaniri kufukidza musoro, zvaari mufananidzo nokubwinya kwaMwari; asi mukadzi ndiye kubwinya kwomurume.For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

⁸Nokuti murume haabvi kumukadzi; asi mukadzi unobva kumurume;For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

⁹vuye murume haana kusikirwa mukadzi, asi mukadzi wakasikirwa murume;Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

¹⁰nokuda kweizvozvo mukadzi unofanira kuva nechiratidzo chesimba pamusoro wake, nokuda kwavatumwa.For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

¹¹Kunyange zvakadaro munaShe mukadzi haazi kunze kwomurume,, nomurume haazi kunze kwomukadzi.Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

¹²Nokuti mukadzi sezvaanobva kumurume, nokudaro vo murume unoberekwa nomukadzi; asi zvose zvinobva kunaMwari.For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

¹³Tongai imi mumene: Zvakafanira kuti mukadzi anyengetere kunaMwari asina kufukidzwa here?Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

¹⁴Ko hamudzidziswi naiwo musikirwe wavanhu kuti kana murume anevhudzi refu, unonyadziswa nazvo here?Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

¹⁵Asi kana mukadzi anevhudzi refu, ndiko kubwinya kwake; nokuti wakapiwa vhudzi rake, chive chifukidzo.But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

¹⁶Zvino kana mumwe anenge achida kuita gakava, hatinetsika yakadaro isu, kunyange kereke dzaMwari.But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

¹⁷Zvino kana ndichikuvudzai izvi, handikurumbidziyi, nokuti hamuvunganiri zvinopfuvura nokunaka, asi zvakaipa.Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

¹⁸Nokuti shoko rokutanga, kana muchivungana mukereke, ndinonzwa kuti kupesana kuripo pakati penyu; pamwe ndinotenda kuti ndizvo.For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

¹⁹Nokuti dzidziso dzakatsauka dzinofanira kuva pakati penyu, kuti avo vakatendeka vavonekwe pakati penyu.For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

²⁰Zvino kana muchivungana pamwe chete, hakuzi kuti mudye chirayiro chaShe;When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.

²¹nokuti kana modya, mumwe nomumwe unotangira vamwe kudya chirayiro chake; mumwe unenzara, mumwe wakabatwa.For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

²²Ko hamunedzimba kwamungadyira nokunwira here? Munozvidza kereke yaMwari, muchinyadzisa avo vasinechinhu here? Ndichaiteiko kwamuri? Ndingakurumbidzai here? Handingakurumbidziyi.What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

²³Nokuti ini ndakagamuchira kunaShe icho chandakakupai vo, kuti Ishe Jesu novusiku bwaakapandukirwa, wakatora chingwa;For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

²⁴akati avonga, akachimedura, akati: torai mudye. Ichi ndiwo muviri wangu unomedurirwa imi; itai izvi muchindirangarira.And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁵Saizvozvo vo, vakati vapedza kurayira, akatora mukombe, akati: Mukombe uyu ndiyo sungano itsva muropa rangu;itai izvi, nguva dzose kana muchinwa, muchindirangarira.After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

²⁶Nokuti nguva dzose, kana muchidya chingwa ichi, kana kunwa mukombe uyu, munoparidza rufu rwaShe, kusvikira achivuya.For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

²⁷Naizvozvo mumwe nomumwe unodya chingwa ichi, kana kunwa mukombe waShe, nomutovo usina kufanira, uchava nemhosva yomuviri neropa raShe.Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

²⁸Zvino munhu ngaazviidze, kuti adye chingwa ichi achidaro, nokunwa mukombe uyu.But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

²⁹Nokuti unodya nokunwa, nomutovo usina kufanira unozvidyira nokuzvimwira kurobwa zvaasinganatso nzwisisa muviri waShe.For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

³⁰Nemhaka iyi vazhinji varipo pakati penyu vasinesimba, vanorwara; vazhinji vavete.For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

³¹Nokuti dai taizviidza isu timene, hatizairobwa.For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

³²Zvino kana tichitongwa, tinorangwa naShe, kuti tirege kutongerwa kurohwa pamwe chete nenyika.But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

³³Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, kana muchivunganira pakudya, miriranai.Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

³⁴Kana munhu anenzara, ngaadye kumusha kwake; kuti murege kuvunganira kutongwa. Zvimwe zvakasara ndichazvigadzira kana ndichisvika.And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
