VaGaratia 1
1 Pauro mupostori, asina kutumwa zvichibva kuvanhu kana kumunhu, asi naJesu Kristu naMwari Baba, iye akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa,
Paul, an apostle, (not from men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; )
2 nehama dzose dzineni, kukereke dziri muGaratia:
And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Nyasha norugare ngazvive nemi zvichibva kuna Mwari Baba vedu nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu,
Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 akazvipa nokuda kwezvivi zvedu kuti atisunungure kubva munyika yakaipa yazvino, maererano nokuda kwaMwari Baba vedu, (aiōn g165)
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165)
To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Ndinoshamiswa kuti munokurumidza kusiya uyo akakudanai nenyasha dzaKristu muchitsaukira kune rimwe vhangeri,
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel:
7 risati riri vhangeri chairo kana napaduku. Zviri pachena kuti vamwe vanhu vanoda kukukanganisai vachiedza kushandura vhangeri raKristu.
Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Asi kunyange isu kana mutumwa anobva kudenga akaparidza vhangeri risati riri ratakakuparidzirai, ngaatukwe nokusingaperi!
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to 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 said before, so I say now again, If any [man] preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, 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 do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 Ndinoda kuti muzive, hama, kuti vhangeri randakaparidza harisi chimwe chinhu chakangomuka mumunhu.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12 Handina kurigamuchira kubva kumunhu upi zvake uye handina kuridzidziswa, asi ndakarigamuchira nokuzarurirwa kunobva kuna Jesu Kristu.
For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Nokuti makanzwa zvamararamiro angu akare muchiJudha, kuti ndakatambudza zvikuru sei kereke yaMwari uye ndikaedza kuiparadza.
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it;
14 Ndakanga ndichishingaira kwazvo muchiJudha ndichipfuura vaJudha vazhinji vezera rangu uye ndakanga ndichishingairira tsika dzamadzibaba angu.
And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly 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, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
16 kuti aratidze Mwanakomana wake mandiri kuti ndimuparidze pakati pavaHedheni, handina kutongobvunza munhu,
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred 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 did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18 Ipapo shure kwamakore matatu, ndakakwira kuJerusarema kuti ndinozivana naPetro uye ndikandogara naye kwamazuva gumi namashanu.
Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 Handina kuona vamwe vavapostori, kunze kwaJakobho mununʼuna waShe.
But I saw no other of the apostles, save James the Lord's brother.
20 Ndinotaura chokwadi pamberi paMwari kuti zvandinokunyorerai izvi hadzisi nhema.
Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Pashure ndakaenda kuSiria nokuSirisia.
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 Ndakanga ndisingazivikanwi pachiso kukereke dzeJudhea dziri muna Kristu.
And was unknown by face to the churches of Judea 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 only, That he who persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 Uye vakarumbidza Mwari nokuda kwangu.
And they glorified God in me.
