VaRoma 1
1 Pauro, muranda waJesu Kristu, akadanwa kuti ave mupostori uye akatsaurirwa vhangeri raMwari,
Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been set apart to the Gospel of God,
2 vhangeri raakavimbisa kare kubudikidza navaprofita vake muMagwaro Matsvene
which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures:
3 pamusoro poMwanakomana wake, uyo pakuberekwa kwake somunhu akanga ari chizvarwa chaDhavhidhi,
concerning His Son, who became a physical descendant of David,
4 uye akaratidzwa nesimba kubudikidza naMweya Mutsvene kuti ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari, nokumuka kwake kubva kuvakafa: Jesu Kristu Ishe wedu.
who was established to be God's powerful Son (in accordance with Spirit of holiness) by resurrection from the dead—Jesus Christ our Lord—
5 Kubudikidza naye uye nokuda kwezita rake, takagamuchira nyasha noupostori, kuti tidane vanhu kubva pakati pavaHedheni vose kuti vave nokuteerera kunobva pakutenda.
through whom we have received grace and apostleship to promote obedience of faith among all ethnic nations concerning His name
6 Uye nemiwo muri pakati paavo vakadanwa kuti muve vaJesu Kristu.
(among these you also are called by Jesus Christ);
7 Kuna vose vari muRoma vanodiwa naMwari uye vakadanwa kuti vave vatsvene: Nyasha norugare ngazvive nemi zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu, nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu.
to all the called saints who are in Rome, beloved of God: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
8 Pakutanga, ndinovonga Mwari wangu muna Jesu Kristu pamusoro penyu mose, nokuti kutenda kwenyu kunoparidzwa panyika yose.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.
9 Mwari, wandinoshumira nomwoyo wangu wose mukuparidza vhangeri roMwanakomana wake, ndiye chapupu changu kuti ndinoramba sei ndichikurangarirai
Further, the God whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of His Son is my witness, how without ceasing I always remember you in my prayers,
10 muminyengetero yangu nguva dzose; uye ndinonyengeterera kuti zvino pakupedzisira nokuda kwaMwari ndizarurirwe mukana wokuti ndiuye kwamuri.
begging that perhaps now, at last, I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
11 Ndinoshuva zvikuru kuti ndikuonei kuti ndigokupai chipo chomweya kuti mugova makasimbiswa,
For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established
12 ndiko kuti, imi neni tikurudzirwe pamwe chete nokutenda kwomumwe nomumwe wedu.
—that is, that I may be encouraged among you by our mutual faith, both yours and mine.
13 Handidi kuti musaziva, hama, kuti ndakaronga kazhinji kuti ndiuye kwamuri (asi ndakatadziswa kuita saizvozvo kusvikira zvino) kuti ndive nezvibereko pakati penyu, sezvandakaita pakati pavamwe veDzimwe Ndudzi.
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), in order that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the rest of the Gentiles.
14 Ndine mungava kuna vose vaGiriki navasiri vaGiriki, vose vakachenjera navasina kuchenjera.
I am a debtor both to Greeks and to non-Greeks, both to wise and to foolish.
15 Ndokusaka ndichida zvikuru kwazvo kuti ndiparidze vhangeri kwamuriwo imi vari kuRoma.
So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Gospel to you who are in Rome as well.
16 Handina nyadzi pamusoro pevhangeri, nokuti isimba raMwari rokuponesa munhu wose anotenda: Kutanga kumuJudha, zvichizotevera weDzimwe Ndudzi.
I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for the salvation of each one who believes (for the Jew first, then the Greek);
17 Nokuti muvhangeri, kururama kwaMwari kunoratidzwa kuchibva pakutenda kuchienda kukutenda, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Akarurama achararama nokutenda.”
because in it God's righteousness is revealed, from faith to faith; just as it is written: “The righteous one will live by faith.”
18 Kutsamwa kwaMwari kunoratidzwa kuchibva kudenga pamusoro pokusada Mwari kwose nokusarurama kwose kwavanhu vanodzivisa chokwadi nokusarurama kwavo.
Now the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of the people who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,
19 Nokuti izvo zvose zvingazivikanwa pamusoro paMwari zviri pachena kwavari, nokuti Mwari akazviisa pachena kwavari.
precisely because what may be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them.
20 Nokuti kubvira pakusikwa kwenyika izvo zvisingaonekwi zvaMwari, iro simba rake rinogara nokusingaperi nouMwari hwake, zvakanyatsoonekwa kwazvo, zvichizivikanwa kubva pazvinhu zvakaitwa, kuitira kuti vanhu varege kuva nepembedzo. (aïdios g126)
Because His invisible attributes, namely His eternal power and divine nature, are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being understood from what has been made, so that they are inexcusable; (aïdios g126)
21 Nokuti kunyange zvavo vaiziva Mwari, havana kumukudza saMwari kana kumuvonga, asi kufunga kwavo kwakava kusina maturo uye mwoyo yavo, isina zivo, yakasvibiswa.
precisely because, knowing God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks; so their reasonings became worthless and their senseless hearts were darkened.
22 Kunyange zvavo vachizviti vakachenjera, vakava mapenzi
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 uye vakashandura kubwinya kwaMwari asingafi vakakuita mifananidzo yakaitwa somunhu anofa, shiri, mhuka nezvinokambaira.
and exchanged for themselves the glory of the incorruptible God for an image resembling a perishable man—even birds and quadrupeds and reptiles!
24 Naizvozvo Mwari akavaisa kuzvishuvo zvakaipa zvemwoyo yavo, zvokuzvisvibisa noupombwe kuti vazvidze miviri yavo pakati pavo.
Therefore God also gave them up, through the cravings of their hearts for vileness, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves
25 Vakatsinhanisa zvokwadi yaMwari nenhema, vakanamata uye vakashumira zvisikwa panzvimbo yoMusiki, iye anokudzwa nokusingaperi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
—they had exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Nokuda kwaizvozvo, Mwari akavaisa pakuchiva kwavo kunonyadzisa. Kunyange navakadzi vavo vakashandura zvavakasikirwa kuti vaite, vakaita zvavasina kusikirwa.
For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions; in fact even their females exchanged the natural sexual function for that against nature;
27 Navarume vavo vakaitawo zvimwe chetezvo vakasiya zvavakasikirwa paukama hwavo navakadzi uye vakatsva noruchiva mumwe kuno mumwe murume. Varume vakaita zvisakafanira navamwe varume, uye vakazviwanira mukati mavo mubayiro wakafanira kurasika kwavo.
likewise also the males, abandoning the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust toward one another, males committing the disgraceful act with males, and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Pamusoro pezvo, sezvavasina kufunga kuti zvakakodzera kuva noruzivo rwaMwari, akavaisa kumurangariro wokurasika, kuti vaite zvisakafanira.
So precisely because they determined not to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a debased mind, to do wrong things:
29 Vakazadzwa nokusarurama kworudzi rwose, kuipa, makaro nokurasika. Vakazara negodo, umhondi, nokukakavara, unyengeri nokuvenga. Vane makuhwa,
having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, depravity; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; gossips,
30 vanochera vamwe, vanovenga Mwari, vanodada, vanozvikudza uye vanozvirumbidza; vanovamba nzira dzokuita zvakaipa; havateereri vabereki vavo;
slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, braggarts, contrivers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 havafungi, havana kutenda, vane mwoyo wakaipa, havana tsitsi.
senseless, faithless, hardhearted, intransigent, unmerciful;
32 Kunyange zvavo vachiziva mutemo wakarurama waMwari kuti avo vanoita zvakadai vakafanirwa norufu, havarambi vachiita zvinhu izvi bedzi, asi kuti vanotenderanawo navanozviita.
who, knowing full well God's just sentence, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do them but also approve of other practitioners.
