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, nor 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 that 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 age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Ndinoshamiswa kuti munokurumidza kusiya uyo akakudanai nenyasha dzaKristu muchitsaukira kune rimwe vhangeri,
I am astonished that you are so soon turning away 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 nothing else than that there are some who trouble you, and are determined to pervert the gospel of the Christ.
8 Asi kunyange isu kana mutumwa anobva kudenga akaparidza vhangeri risati riri ratakakuparidzirai, ngaatukwe nokusingaperi!
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach to you any other gospel than that which we have preached, 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 even now I say again, if any one preaches to you any other gospel than that which you 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 seek the favor of men, or of God? or do I strive to please men? If, indeed, I would still please men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 Ndinoda kuti muzive, hama, kuti vhangeri randakaparidza harisi chimwe chinhu chakangomuka mumunhu.
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which is 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 neither did I receive it from man, nor was it taught me, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Nokuti makanzwa zvamararamiro angu akare muchiJudha, kuti ndakatambudza zvikuru sei kereke yaMwari uye ndikaedza kuiparadza.
For you have heard of my former mode of life in Judaism, that I greatly persecuted the church of God, and laid it waste;
14 Ndakanga ndichishingaira kwazvo muchiJudha ndichipfuura vaJudha vazhinji vezera rangu uye ndakanga ndichishingairira tsika dzamadzibaba angu.
and I surpassed in Judaism many of my own age and nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the tradition of my fathers.
15 Asi Mwari akanditsaura kubva pakuzvarwa kwangu uye akandidana nenyasha dzake, paakafadzwa nazvo
But when God, who chose me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, was pleased
16 kuti aratidze Mwanakomana wake mandiri kuti ndimuparidze pakati pavaHedheni, handina kutongobvunza munhu,
to reveal his Sou in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I at once declined all conference with flesh and blood:
17 uye handina kuenda kuJerusarema kuti ndinoona vaya vakanga vari vapostori vakanditangira, asi nokukurumidza ndakaenda kuArabhia ndikazodzokazve kuDhamasiko pashure.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem, to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and then returned to Damascus.
18 Ipapo shure kwamakore matatu, ndakakwira kuJerusarema kuti ndinozivana naPetro uye ndikandogara naye kwamazuva gumi namashanu.
Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem, in order to become personally acquainted with Peter; and I remained with him fifteen days:
19 Handina kuona vamwe vavapostori, kunze kwaJakobho mununʼuna waShe.
but of the apostles I saw no other, but James the brother of the Lord.
20 Ndinotaura chokwadi pamberi paMwari kuti zvandinokunyorerai izvi hadzisi nhema.
With respect to the things which I now write to you, behold, before God I lie not.
21 Pashure ndakaenda kuSiria nokuSirisia.
Then, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia:
22 Ndakanga ndisingazivikanwi pachiso kukereke dzeJudhea dziri muna Kristu.
but I was not known, in person, to the churches of Judea which are in Christ.
23 Vakangonzwa zvakaziviswa bedzi zvokuti, “Munhu uya aititambudza kare ava kuparidza zvino kutenda kuya kwaakanga achiedza kuparadza.”
They had heard only that he who formerly persecuted us was now preaching the faith which he once destroyed.
24 Uye vakarumbidza Mwari nokuda kwangu.
And they glorified God in me.
