1 Corinthians 10
1 Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
Nokuti hama dzangu, handidi kuti murege kuziva kuti madzibaba edu ose akanga ari pasi pegore uye kuti vose vakayambuka gungwa.
2 and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
Vose vakabhabhatidzwa muna Mozisi mugore nomugungwa.
3 and all ate the same spiritual food;
Vose vakadya zvokudya zvimwe chete zvoMweya
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
uye vose vakanwa zvokunwa zvimwe chete zvomweya; nokuti vakanwa kubva padombo romweya rakafamba navo, uye dombo iri raiva Kristu.
5 However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Kunyange zvakadaro, Mwari haana kufadzwa navazhinji vavo; mitumbi yavo yakaparadzirwa murenje.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
Zvino, zvinhu izvi zvakanga zviri semienzaniso kwatiri, kuti tirege kuisa mwoyo yedu pazvinhu zvakaipa sezvavakaita.
7 Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
Musanamata zvifananidzo, sezvakaita vamwe vavo; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Vanhu vakagara pasi vakadya, vakanwa, uye vakasimuka kuti vatambe.”
8 Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
Hatifaniri kuita upombwe, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakafa zviuru makumi maviri nezvitatu muzuva rimwe chete.
9 Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
Hatifaniri kuedza Ishe, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakaurayiwa nenyoka.
10 Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
Uye murege kugununʼuna sezvakaita vamwe vavo, uye vakazourayiwa nomutumwa wokuparadza.
11 Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
Zvinhu izvi zvakaitika kwavari semienzaniso kwatiri uye zvikanyorwa kuti zvive yambiro kwatiri, iyesu takasvikirwa nokuzadziswa kwokuguma kwenyika. (aiōn g165)
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
Saka, kana uchifunga kuti wakamira zvakasimba, chenjera kuti urege kuwa!
13 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Hakuna muedzo wakakuwirai imi, kunze kwaiwo unowira munhu wose. Uye Mwari akatendeka, haangatenderi kuti muedzwe kupfuura pamunogona napo. Asi kana muchiedzwa, iye achakupai nzira yokubuda nayo kuti mugone kutsunga pairi.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
Naizvozvo, shamwari dzangu dzinodikanwa, tizai kunamata zvifananidzo.
15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
Ndiri kutaura kuvanhu vakachenjera; zvitongerei pachenyu pane zvandinotaura.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?
Ko, mukombe wokuvonga watinovonga, hakuzi kusangana neropa raKristu here? Uye chingwa chatinomedura, hakuzi kusangana nomuviri waKristu here?
17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
Nokuti pane chingwa chimwe chete, isu vazhinji tiri muviri mumwe, nokuti tinogovana tose pachingwa chimwe.
18 Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
Cherechedzai vanhu veIsraeri: Ko, avo vanodya zvibayiro havagovani nearitari here?
19 What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
Ko, ndinoreva kuti chibayiro chinobayirwa chifananidzo chinhu here, kana kuti chifananidzo chinhu here?
20 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
Kwete, asi zvibayiro zvavahedheni zvinopiwa kumadhimoni kwete kuna Mwari, uye ini handidi kuti mugovane namadhimoni.
21 You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.
Hamunganwi mukombe waShe uye nomukombe wamadhimoniwo; hamungavi nomugove patafura yaShe uye napatafura yamadhimoni.
22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
Tiri kuedza kumutsa godo raShe here? Takasimba kupfuura iye here?
23 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa, asi hazvisi zvose zvinobatsira. Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa, asi hazvisi zvose zvinovaka.
24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.
Munhu ngaarege kutsvaka zvakamunakira iye, asi zvakanakira vamwe.
25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
Idyai zvose zvinotengeswa pamusika wenyama musingabvunzi chinhu nokuda kwehana,
26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
nokuti, “Nyika ndeyaShe, nokuzara kwayo.”
27 But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
Kana mumwe asingatendi akakukoka kuzodya, uye kana uchida kuenda, udye zvose zvinenge zvaiswa pamberi pako usingabvunzi mubvunzo nokuda kwehana.
28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
Asi kana mumwe akati kwauri, “Ichi chipiriso chakabayirwa,” rega kudya, nokuda kwaiye akuratidza, uye nokuda kwehana,
29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
ndinoreva hana yomumwe, kwete yako. Nokuti kusununguka kwangu kungatongerweiko nehana yomumwe?
30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
Kana ini ndichidya ndavonga, ndingagotukirweiko nokuda kwechinhu chandavonga Mwari pamusoro pacho?
31 Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Naizvozvo, kunyange muchidya kana kunwa, chinhu chipi nechipi chamungaita, itai zvose kuti Mwari agokudzwa.
32 Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
Musagumbusa munhu upi noupi zvake, angava muJudha, kana muGiriki kana kereke yaMwari,
33 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
kunyange sezvandinoedzawo kufadza munhu wose pazvinhu zvose. Nokuti handitsvaki zvakandinakira ini asi zvakanakira vazhinji, kuitira kuti vagoponeswa.
