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 through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him out of the dead—
2 nehama dzose dzineni, kukereke dziri muGaratia:
and all the brothers with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
3 Nyasha norugare ngazvive nemi zvichibva kuna Mwari Baba vedu nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and 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 out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom [is] the glory through the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Ndinoshamiswa kuti munokurumidza kusiya uyo akakudanai nenyasha dzaKristu muchitsaukira kune rimwe vhangeri,
I wonder that you are so quickly removed from Him who called you in the grace of Christ to another good news—
7 risati riri vhangeri chairo kana napaduku. Zviri pachena kuti vamwe vanhu vanoda kukukanganisai vachiedza kushandura vhangeri raKristu.
not that there is another, except there are certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;
8 Asi kunyange isu kana mutumwa anobva kudenga akaparidza vhangeri risati riri ratakakuparidzirai, ngaatukwe nokusingaperi!
but even if we or a messenger out of Heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we proclaimed 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 have said before, and now say again: if anyone may proclaim to you good news different from what you 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 Christ’s servant.
11 Ndinoda kuti muzive, hama, kuti vhangeri randakaparidza harisi chimwe chinhu chakangomuka mumunhu.
And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that was proclaimed by me, that it 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 I taught [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,
13 Nokuti makanzwa zvamararamiro angu akare muchiJudha, kuti ndakatambudza zvikuru sei kereke yaMwari uye ndikaedza kuiparadza.
for you heard of my behavior once in Judaism, that I was exceedingly persecuting the Assembly of God, and destroying it,
14 Ndakanga ndichishingaira kwazvo muchiJudha ndichipfuura vaJudha vazhinji vezera rangu uye ndakanga ndichishingairira tsika dzamadzibaba angu.
and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in my own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers’ deliverances,
15 Asi Mwari akanditsaura kubva pakuzvarwa kwangu uye akandidana nenyasha dzake, paakafadzwa nazvo
and when God was well pleased—having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called [me] through His grace—
16 kuti aratidze Mwanakomana wake mandiri kuti ndimuparidze pakati pavaHedheni, handina kutongobvunza munhu,
to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim Him as good news among the nations, I did not immediately confer 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 to Arabia, and again 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 to inquire about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days,
19 Handina kuona vamwe vavapostori, kunze kwaJakobho mununʼuna waShe.
and I did not see [any] other of the apostles, except James, the brother of the LORD.
20 Ndinotaura chokwadi pamberi paMwari kuti zvandinokunyorerai izvi hadzisi nhema.
And the things that I write to you, behold, before God—I do not lie;
21 Pashure ndakaenda kuSiria nokuSirisia.
then I came into the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,
22 Ndakanga ndisingazivikanwi pachiso kukereke dzeJudhea dziri muna Kristu.
and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that [are] in Christ,
23 Vakangonzwa zvakaziviswa bedzi zvokuti, “Munhu uya aititambudza kare ava kuparidza zvino kutenda kuya kwaakanga achiedza kuparadza.”
and they were only hearing that “he who is persecuting us then, now proclaims good news—the faith that he was then destroying”;
24 Uye vakarumbidza Mwari nokuda kwangu.
and they were glorifying God in me.
