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 humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 nehama dzose dzineni, kukereke dziri muGaratia:
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Nyasha norugare ngazvive nemi zvichibva kuna Mwari Baba vedu nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the 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 this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Ndinoshamiswa kuti munokurumidza kusiya uyo akakudanai nenyasha dzaKristu muchitsaukira kune rimwe vhangeri,
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different "good news";
7 risati riri vhangeri chairo kana napaduku. Zviri pachena kuti vamwe vanhu vanoda kukukanganisai vachiedza kushandura vhangeri raKristu.
and there is not another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 Asi kunyange isu kana mutumwa anobva kudenga akaparidza vhangeri risati riri ratakakuparidzirai, ngaatukwe nokusingaperi!
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a "good news" other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 Sezvatakamboreva, tinodarozve zvino tichiti: Kana kuno munhu upi zvake ari kuparidza kwamuri vhangeri kunze kweramakagamuchira, ngaave akatukwa nokusingaperi!
As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
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 am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Ndinoda kuti muzive, hama, kuti vhangeri randakaparidza harisi chimwe chinhu chakangomuka mumunhu.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 Handina kurigamuchira kubva kumunhu upi zvake uye handina kuridzidziswa, asi ndakarigamuchira nokuzarurirwa kunobva kuna Jesu Kristu.
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through 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 way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
14 Ndakanga ndichishingaira kwazvo muchiJudha ndichipfuura vaJudha vazhinji vezera rangu uye ndakanga ndichishingairira tsika dzamadzibaba angu.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Asi Mwari akanditsaura kubva pakuzvarwa kwangu uye akandidana nenyasha dzake, paakafadzwa nazvo
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 kuti aratidze Mwanakomana wake mandiri kuti ndimuparidze pakati pavaHedheni, handina kutongobvunza munhu,
to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, 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 into Arabia. Then I 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 see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Handina kuona vamwe vavapostori, kunze kwaJakobho mununʼuna waShe.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Ndinotaura chokwadi pamberi paMwari kuti zvandinokunyorerai izvi hadzisi nhema.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Pashure ndakaenda kuSiria nokuSirisia.
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Ndakanga ndisingazivikanwi pachiso kukereke dzeJudhea dziri muna Kristu.
I was still 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 only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 Uye vakarumbidza Mwari nokuda kwangu.
And they glorified God because of me.
