1 VaKorinde 6

¹Ko kana mumwe wenyu anemhosva nomumwe, ungatsunga kumukwirira kunavasakarurama, akasamukwirira kunavatsvene here?Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

²Hamuzivi here kuti vatsvene vachatonga nyika? Zvino kana nyika ichitongwa nemi, ko imi hamufaniri kutonga mhosva duku-duku here?Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

³Hamuzivi here kuti tichatonga vatumwa? Zvikuru sei izvo zvovupenyu bwuno!Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

⁴Zvino kana munemhosva dzovupenyu bwuno dzinofanira kutongwa, munogadza seiko avo vanozvidzwa pakereke, kuti ivo vatonge?If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

⁵Ndinodaro kuti munyadziswe. Ko hakuna wakachenejera pakati pwenyu ungagona kutonga pakati pehama nehama yake here?I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

⁶Asi hama inokwirira hama, achizviita pamberi pavasingatendi here?But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

⁷Zvino matova nemosva kwazvo pakati penyu, zvamunokwirirana. Munoregereiko kutenda kuitirwa zvisakarurama? Munoregereiko kutenda kubirwa?Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

⁸Asi imi munoita zvisakarurama, munonyengetera, muchizviitira hama.Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

⁹Ko hamuzivi kuti vasakarama havangagari nhaka yovushe bwaMwari here? Musarashika; nokuti mhombwe, kana vanonamata zvifananidzo, kana vanofeva, kana vakapata, kana vanoita zvakaipa navarume,Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

¹⁰kana mbavha, kana vanoruchiva, kana vanosinwa doro, kana vatuki, kana makororo, havangagari nhaka yovushe bwaMwari.Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹¹Vamwe venyu vakanga vakadaro; asi makashambidzwa, asi makaitwa vatsvene. Asi mukaruramiswa nezita raShe Jesu Kristu, noMweya waMwari wedu.And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹²Ndakatenderwa zvinhu zvose; asi zvinhu zvose hazvindibatsiri. Ndakatenderwa zvinhu zvose, asi handidi kukundwa nechinhu chimwe.All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

¹³Zvokudya ndezvedumbu, nedumbu nderezvokudya; asi Mwari uchaparadza iro naizvo, zvose. Asi muviri hauzi wovupombwe, asi ndowaShe; naShe ndowomuviri;Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

¹⁴Mwari wakamutsa Ishe, vuye uchatimutsa isu nesimba rake.And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

¹⁵Hamuzivi kuti miviri yenyu mitezo yaKristu, ndichatora mitezo yaKristu ndikaiita mitezo yechifeve hereKnow ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

¹⁶hamuzivi kuti wakasonganiswa nemhombwe wava muviri mumwe naye here? Nokuti iye unoti: Ava vaviri vachava nyama imwe.What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

¹⁷Asi wakasonganiswa naShe, wava mweya mumwe naye.But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

¹⁸Tizai vupombwe. Zvivi zvose, zvinoitwa nomunhu, zviri kunze kwomuviri; asi unoita vupombwe, unotadzira muviri wake.Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

¹⁹Hamuzivi here kuti muviri wenyu itembere yoMweya Mutsvene, uri mukati menyu, wamakapiwa naMwari? Hamuzi venyu;What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

²⁰nokuti makatengwa nomutengo; naizvozvo kudzai Mwari mumuviri wenyu vuye mumweya yenyu iri yaMwari.For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
