< VaGaratia 1 >

1 Pauro mupostori, asina kutumwa zvichibva kuvanhu kana kumunhu, asi naJesu Kristu naMwari Baba, iye akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa,
Pavl an Apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father which hath raised him from the dead)
2 nehama dzose dzineni, kukereke dziri muGaratia:
And all the brethren which are with me, vnto the Churches of Galatia:
3 Nyasha norugare ngazvive nemi zvichibva kuna Mwari Baba vedu nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu,
Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ,
4 akazvipa nokuda kwezvivi zvedu kuti atisunungure kubva munyika yakaipa yazvino, maererano nokuda kwaMwari Baba vedu, (aiōn g165)
Which gaue himself for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world according to the will of God euen our Father, (aiōn g165)
5 ngaave nokubwinya nokusingaperi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
To whom be glory for euer and euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Ndinoshamiswa kuti munokurumidza kusiya uyo akakudanai nenyasha dzaKristu muchitsaukira kune rimwe vhangeri,
I marueile that ye are so soone remoued away vnto another Gospel, from him that had called you in the grace of Christ,
7 risati riri vhangeri chairo kana napaduku. Zviri pachena kuti vamwe vanhu vanoda kukukanganisai vachiedza kushandura vhangeri raKristu.
Which is not another Gospel, saue that there be some which trouble you, and intend to peruert the Gospel of Christ.
8 Asi kunyange isu kana mutumwa anobva kudenga akaparidza vhangeri risati riri ratakakuparidzirai, ngaatukwe nokusingaperi!
But though that we, or an Angel from heauen preach vnto you otherwise, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let him be accursed.
9 Sezvatakamboreva, tinodarozve zvino tichiti: Kana kuno munhu upi zvake ari kuparidza kwamuri vhangeri kunze kweramakagamuchira, ngaave akatukwa nokusingaperi!
As we sayd before, so say I now againe, If any man preach vnto you otherwise, then that ye haue receiued, let him be accursed.
10 Ko, ndiri kuedza kuzviratidza kuvanhu here kana kuti kuna Mwari? Kana kuti ndiri kuedza kufadza vanhu here? Dai ndakanga ndichiri kuedza kufadza vanhu, ndingadai ndisiri muranda waKristu.
For nowe preach I mans doctrine, or Gods? or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the seruant of Christ.
11 Ndinoda kuti muzive, hama, kuti vhangeri randakaparidza harisi chimwe chinhu chakangomuka mumunhu.
Now I certifie you, brethren, that ye Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man.
12 Handina kurigamuchira kubva kumunhu upi zvake uye handina kuridzidziswa, asi ndakarigamuchira nokuzarurirwa kunobva kuna Jesu Kristu.
For neither receiued I it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ.
13 Nokuti makanzwa zvamararamiro angu akare muchiJudha, kuti ndakatambudza zvikuru sei kereke yaMwari uye ndikaedza kuiparadza.
For ye haue heard of my conuersation in time past, in the Iewish religion, how that I persecuted the Church of God extremely, and wasted it,
14 Ndakanga ndichishingaira kwazvo muchiJudha ndichipfuura vaJudha vazhinji vezera rangu uye ndakanga ndichishingairira tsika dzamadzibaba angu.
And profited in the Iewish religion aboue many of my companions of mine owne nation, and was much more zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 Asi Mwari akanditsaura kubva pakuzvarwa kwangu uye akandidana nenyasha dzake, paakafadzwa nazvo
But when it pleased God (which had separated me from my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace)
16 kuti aratidze Mwanakomana wake mandiri kuti ndimuparidze pakati pavaHedheni, handina kutongobvunza munhu,
To reueile his Sonne in me, that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediatly I communicated not with flesh and blood:
17 uye handina kuenda kuJerusarema kuti ndinoona vaya vakanga vari vapostori vakanditangira, asi nokukurumidza ndakaenda kuArabhia ndikazodzokazve kuDhamasiko pashure.
Neither came I againe to Hierusalem to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and turned againe vnto Damascus.
18 Ipapo shure kwamakore matatu, ndakakwira kuJerusarema kuti ndinozivana naPetro uye ndikandogara naye kwamazuva gumi namashanu.
Then after three yeeres I came againe to Hierusalem to visite Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes.
19 Handina kuona vamwe vavapostori, kunze kwaJakobho mununʼuna waShe.
And none other of the Apostles sawe I, saue Iames the Lords brother.
20 Ndinotaura chokwadi pamberi paMwari kuti zvandinokunyorerai izvi hadzisi nhema.
Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not.
21 Pashure ndakaenda kuSiria nokuSirisia.
After that, I went into the coastes of Syria and Cilicia:
22 Ndakanga ndisingazivikanwi pachiso kukereke dzeJudhea dziri muna Kristu.
for I was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ.
23 Vakangonzwa zvakaziviswa bedzi zvokuti, “Munhu uya aititambudza kare ava kuparidza zvino kutenda kuya kwaakanga achiedza kuparadza.”
But they had heard onely some say, Hee which persecuted vs in time past, nowe preacheth the faith which before he destroyed.
24 Uye vakarumbidza Mwari nokuda kwangu.
And they glorified God for me.
