< Galatians 2 >

1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Shure kweizvozvo kwapfuura makore gumi nemana ndakakwirazve kuJerusarema naBhanabhasi, ndikatorawo naTitosi.
2 I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I proclaim amongst the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
Zvino ndakakwira nekuzarurirwa, ndokuvarondedzera evhangeri yandinoparidza pakati pevahedheni, asi pachivande kune vakange vachikudzwa, zvimwe ndimhanyire kana ndakamhanyira pasina.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Asi kunyange Titosi waiva neni, ari muGiriki, haana kurovererwa kuti adzingiswe;
4 This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Messiah Yeshua, that they might bring us into bondage,
uye nekuda kwehama dzenhema, vakange vapinzwa pachivande, vakange vapinda nekunyangira kuzoshora kusununguka kwedu kwatinako muna Kristu Jesu, kuti vatiise muuranda;
5 to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
vatisina kutendera nekuzviisa pasi kunyange kweawa; kuti chokwadi cheevhangeri chirambe chigere nemwi.
6 But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
Asi kune vainzi chinhu (kunyange vaimbova chii hazvirevi chinhu kwandiri; Mwari haagamuchiri chimiro chemunhu), nokuti avo vaikudzwa havana kundiwedzera chinhu;
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
asi zvakadaro, vakati vaona kuti evhangeri yevasina kudzingiswa yakakumikidzwa kwandiri, saPetro yevasina kudzingiswa,
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
(nekuti iye wakaita nesimba kuna Petro kuvuapositori hwekudzingiswa, wakaita nesimba nekwandiri kuvahedheni);
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, Jacob and Kefa and Yochanan, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
zvino vaziva nyasha dzandakapiwa, vanaJakobho naKefasi naJohwani, vaikudzwa kuva mbiru, vakapa ini naBhanabhasi ruoko rwerudyi rwekudyidzana, kuti isu tiende kuvahedheni, ivowo kune vakadzingiswa;
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
chete kuti tirangarire varombo, ichocho chandakashingairirawo kuita.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Zvino Petro wakati asvika Andiyokiya, ndakamupikisa pachiso, nokuti wakange ane mhosva.
12 For before some people came from Jacob, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
Nokuti vamwe vasati vasvika vaibva kuna Jakobho, waidya nevahedheni; asi kana vasvika waisuduruka, achizviraura, achitya vekudzingiswa.
13 And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Nevamwewo VaJudha vakanyepedzera pamwe naye, zvekuti Bhanabhasiwo wakatorwa neunyepedzeri hwavo.
14 But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
Asi ndakati ndaona kuti havafambi zvakarurama maererano nechokwadi cheevhangeri, ndakati kuna Petro pamberi pevese: Kana iwe uri muJudha, unorarama nemutoo wevahedheni, uye kwete sezvinoita VaJudha, unoroverera sei vahedheni kuti vararame seVaJudha?
15 “We, being Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
Isu tiri VaJudha pachisikirwo, uye kwete vatadzi vanobva kuvahedheni,
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Yeshua the Messiah, even we believed in Messiah Yeshua, that we might be justified by faith in Messiah and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
tichiziva kuti munhu haanzi wakarurama nemabasa emurairo, asi nerutendo kuna Jesu Kristu, nesu takatenda kuna Kristu Jesu, kuti tinzi takarurama nerutendo kuna Kristu, uye kwete nemabasa emurairo; nokuti nemabasa emurairo hakuna nyama ichanzi yakarurama.
17 But if while we sought to be justified in Messiah, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Messiah a servant of sin? Certainly not!
Asi kana isu, tinotsvaka kunzi takarurama kuna Kristu, nesu tomene tiwanikwe tiri vatadzi, naizvozvo Kristu wava mushumiri wechivi here? Ngazvisadaro!
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
Nokuti kana ndikavakazve izvi zvandakaputsa, ndinozviratidza kuva mudariki.
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
Nokuti ini nemurairo ndakafa kumurairo, kuti ndirarame kuna Mwari.
20 I have been crucified with Messiah, and it is no longer I who live, but Messiah lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
Ndakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe naKristu; asi ndinorarama; handisisiri ini, asi Kristu anorarama mandiri; asi zvandinorarama ikozvino panyama, ndinorarama nerutendo rweMwanakomana waMwari, wakandida akazvipa nekuda kwangu.
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Messiah died for nothing!”
Handishaisi nyasha dzaMwari maturo; nokuti kana kunzi wakarurama kunowanikwa nemurairo, saka Kristu wakafira pasina.
