1 VaKorinde 16

¹Zvino, kana zviri zvipo zakavunganidzirwa vatsvene, se zvandakaraira kereke dzeGaratia, itai nemi vo seizvozvo.Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

²Nomusi wokutanga wevhiki, mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaakamure zvimwe kumba kwake, avunganidze, paakawana napo, kuti zvipo zvirege kuvunganidzwa, kana ndichisvika.Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

³Kana ndasvika, ndichatuma avo vamunotenda nemwadhi, vagondoisa zvipo zvenyu Jerusarema.And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

⁴Kana zvakafanira kuti ini ndiende vo, vangaenda neni.And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

⁵Zvino ndichavuya kwamuri, kana ndagura neMakedhonia; nokuti ndinogura neMakedhonia.Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

⁶Zvimwe ndichagara nemi, kunyange ndipedze chando, kuti mugondiperekedza pose pandinoenda.And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

⁷Nokuti handidi kukuvonai zvino ndiri parwendo; nokuti ndinoti ndichazogara nemi chinguva, kana Ishe achinditendera.For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

⁸Asi ndichagara paEfeso kusvikira paPentekosta.But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

⁹Nokuti ndazarurirwa mukova mukuru unebasa guru; navadzivisi vazhinji varipo.For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

¹⁰Zvino kana Timotio achisvika, chenjerai kuti agare nemi asingatyi; nokuti unobata basa raShe, sezvandinoita ini.Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

¹¹Naizvozvo ngakurege kuva nomunhu unomuzvidza. Asi mumuperekedze norugare, kuti avuye kwandiri; nokuti ndakamutarira pamwe chete nehama.Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.

¹²Zvino kana ari Aporo, hama yedu, ndakakumbira kwaari zvikuru, kuti avuye kwamuri pamwe chete nedzimwe hama; asi wakanga asingatongodi kuvuya zvino, uchavuya hake kana awana nguva yakanaka.As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.

¹³Rindai, mirai nesimba pakutenda, itai savarume, musimbiswe.Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

¹⁴Zvose zvamunoita ngazviitwe norudo.Let all your things be done with charity.

¹⁵Ndinokumbira zvikuru kwamuri, hama dzangu, munoziva mhuri yaStefana, kuti ndicho chibereko chokutanga paAkaya, vakazviisa kuti vashumire vatsveneI beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

¹⁶Kuti nemi vo muzviise pasi pavakadaro, napasi pavose vanotibatsira navanobata.That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.

¹⁷Ndinofara nokuvuya kwaStefana, naFortunato, naAkaiako; nokuti ivo vakandiitira zvamakanga musingagoni kuita imi.I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

¹⁸Nokuti vakazorodza mweya wangu nowenyu; naizvozvo kudzai vakadaro.For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

¹⁹Kereke dzapaAsia dzinokukwazisai. Akwira naPrisira vanokukwazisai zvikuru munaShe, pamwe chete nekereke iri mumba mavo.The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

²⁰Hama dzose dzinokukwazisai. Kwazisanai nokusveta kutsvene.All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

²¹Ndiko kukwazisa kwangu, ini Pauro, noruvoko rwangu.The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

²²Kana munhu asingadi Ishe Jesu Kristu, ngaave wakatukwa. Ishe unovuya!If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

²³Nyasha dzaShe Jesu Kristu ngadzive nemi.The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

²⁴Rudo rwangu ngaruve nemi mose munaKristu Jesu. Ameni.My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
