1 Corinthians

12

1But concerning spiritual [manifestations], brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.
1Zvino maererano nezvipo zveMweya, hama, handidi kuti musaziva.
2Ye know that when ye were [of the] nations [ye were] led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be led.
2Munoziva kuti maiva vahedheni, muchitungamirirwa kuzvifananidzo izvi mbeveve, sevanokwehwa.
3I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in [the power of the] Spirit of God, says, Curse [on] Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in [the power of the] Holy Spirit.
3Saka ndinokuzivisai, kuti hakuna munhu unotaura neMweya waMwari unoti: Jesu rushambwa; Uye hakuna munhu ungati: Jesu ndiIshe, kunze kwekuda kweMweya Mutsvene.
4But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;
4Zvino kune marudzi akasiyana ezvipo, asi Mweya ndeumwe.
5and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;
5Uye kune nzira dzakasiyana dzekushumira, asi Ishe mumwe.
6and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.
6Kuti marudzi amabasa akasiyana siyana, asi ndiMwari mumwe, iye unobata zvose mune vose.
7But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.
7Asi umwe neumwe unopiwa kuratidza kweMweya, kune zvinobatsira.
8For to one, by the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom; and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
8Nekuti kune umwe kunopiwa neMweya shoko reuchenjeri, nekune umwe shoko reruzivo neMweya iwoyu,
9and to a different one faith, in [the power of] the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in [the power of] the same Spirit;
9nekune umwe rutendo, neMweya iwoyu, nekune mumwe zvipo zvekuporesa neMweya iwoyu,
10and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues.
10nekune umwe kuita mabasa esimba, nekune umwe kuporofita, nekune umwe kunzwisisa zvemweya, nekune umwe marudzi endimi, nekune umwe kududzira ndimi;
11But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.
11asi izvi zvose zvinoitwa neMweya iwoyu mumwe chete, unogovera umwe neumwe sezvaanoda.
12For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ.
12Nekuti muviri sezvauri umwe, uye une mitezo mizhinji, nemitezo yose yemuviri uyu umwe, kunyange iri mizhinji, muviri umwe; wakadarowo Kristu.
13For also in [the power of] one Spirit *we* have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.
13Nekuti neMweya umwe isu tose takabhabhatidzirwa mumuviri umwe; kana vaJudha kana vaGiriki, kana varanda kana vakasununguka; isu tose takamwiswa paMweya umwe.
14For also the body is not one member but many.
14Nekuti muviri hausi mutezo umwe asi mizhinji.
15If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
15Kana rutsoka rukati: Nekuti handisi ruoko, handisi wemuviri; zvisinei naizvozvi, harwusi rwemuviri here,
16And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
16Nenzeve kana ikati: Nekuti handisi ziso, handisi wemuviri; nekuda kwezvizvi haizi yemuviri here?
17If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling?
17Dai muviri wose raiva ziso, kunzwa kwaivepi? Kana wose waiva kunzwa, kunhuwidza kungadai kuripi?
18But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased [him].
18Asi zvino Mwari wakagadza mutezo umwe neumwe pamuviri sezvaakada.
19But if all were one member, where the body?
19Asi kana yose yaiva mutezo umwe, muviri ungadai uri kupi?
20But now the members [are] many, and the body one.
20Asi zvino mitezo mizhinji, asi muviri umwe.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.
21Uye ziso harigoni kuti kuruoko: Handinei newe; kanazve musoro kutsoka: Handinei newe;
22But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
22Asi zvikuru mitezo iyo yemuviri inoonekwa seisina simba, ndiyo inodikamwa;
23and those [parts] of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;
23naiyo yemuviri yatinofunga kuti haikudzwi, ndiyo yatinopa rukudzo zvakawedzerwa; nemitezo iyo yedu isina kunaka, kunaka kwakawedzerwa;
24but our comely [parts] have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to [the part] that lacked;
24asi yedu yakanaka haishaiwi; asi Mwari wakabatanidza muviri pamwe, achipa rukudzo rukuru kune iyo yaishayiwa,
25that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.
25kuti parege kuva nokupatsanurana pamuviri; asi mitezo ichengetane zvakaenzana.
26And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with [it]; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].
26Kana mutezo umwe uchitambudzika, mitezo yose inotambudzika pamwe nawo; kana mutezo umwe uchikudzwa, mitezo yose inofara pamwe nawo.
27Now *ye* are Christ's body, and members in particular.
27Zvino imwi muri muviri waKristu, nemutezo umwe neumwe.
28And God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.
28Mwari wakagadza vamwe pakereke, kutanga vaapositori, kechipiri vaporofita, kechitatu vadzidzisi, kozouya mabasa esimba, tevere zvipo zvekuporesa, mabasa erubatsiro, utungamiriri, ndimi dzakasiyana siyana.
29[Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all [in possession of] miraculous powers?
29Vose vaapositori here? Vose vaporofita here? Vose vadzidzisi here? Vose mabasa esimba here?
30have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
30Vose vane zvipo zvekuporesa here? Vose vanotaura nendimi here? Vose vanodudzira here?
31But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
31Asi shuvai zvipo zvakanakisisa. Uye zvakadaro ndinokuratidzai nzira yakaisvonaka kupfuura dzose.
