VaRoma 1
1 Pauro, muranda waJesu Kristu, wakadanwa kuva muapositori, atsaurirwa evhangeri yaMwari,
PAUL, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, called and sent; and separated unto the gospel of God,
2 (yaakagara avimbisa nevaporofita vake mumagwaro matsvene),
(which he had before promised, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
3 maererano neMwanakomana wake, wakabva kumbeu yaDhavhidhi zvichienderana nenyama,
concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David,
4 wakatemerwa kuva Mwanakomana waMwari nesimba, maererano neMweya weutsvene, nekumuka kwevakafa, ndiye Jesu Kristu Ishe wedu;
and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit, ) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,
5 watakagamuchira naye nyasha nevuapositori kuti kuve kuteerera kwerutendo pakati pevahedheni vese, nekuda kwezita rake,
by whom we have received grace, and a mission among all the Gentiles, to the end that they may obey the faith in his name;
6 vamuri pakati pavo nemwi, vakadanwa vaJesu Kristu;
among whom, ye also are called by Jesus Messiah; )
7 kune vese vari muRoma, vadikanwi vaMwari, vakadanwa kuva vatsvene: Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naIshe Jesu Kristu.
to all those who are at Rome, beloved of God, called and sanctified: Peace and grace be with you, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah.
8 Kutangawo ndinovonga Mwari wangu nemuna Jesu Kristu pamusoro penyu mese, kuti rutendo rwenyu rwunoparidzirwa panyika yese.
In the first place, I give thanks to God by Jesus Messiah, on account of you all; because your faith is heard of in all the world.
9 Nokuti Mwari chapupu changu, wandinoshumira pamweya wangu muevhangeri yeMwanakomana wake, kuti handiregi kukurangarirai,
And God, whom in spirit I serve in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, that I unceasingly make mention of you, at all times, in my prayers.
10 panguva dzese muminyengetero yangu ndinokumbira, kuti kana zvichigoneka nechido chaMwari, ndibudirire kuuya kwamuri pakuguma.
And I likewise supplicate, that hereafter a door may be opened to me, by the good pleasure of God, to come unto you.
11 Nokuti ndinoshuva kukuonai, kuti ndikupei chimwe chipo chemweya, kuti musimbiswe,
For I long much to see you; and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit, whereby ye may be established;
12 ndiko kuti, ndinyaradzwe pamwe pakati penyu, nerutendo rweumwe neumwe, zvese rwenyu nerwangu.
and that we may have comfort together, in the faith of both yourselves and me.
13 Zvino handidi kuti musaziva, hama, kuti kazhinji ndaizvipira kuuya kwamuri (ndokudziviswa kusvikira ikozvino), kuti ndive nechimwe chibereko pakati penyuwo, sepakati pevamwe vahedheniwo.
And I wish you to know, my brethren, that I have many times desired to come to you, (though prevented hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also; even as among other Gentiles,
14 Ndine ngava kuVaGiriki nekuvatorwawo, kuvakachenjera nekune vasina kuchenjerawo;
Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unwise: for to every man am I a debtor, to preach to him.
15 saizvozvo sezviri mandiri ndakagadzirira kuparidza evhangeri kwamuriwo imwi muri paRoma.
And so I am eager to preach to you also who are at Rome.
16 Nokuti handinyadzisvi neevhangeri yaKristu; nokuti isimba raMwari rinoendesa kuruponeso kune umwe neumwe anotenda, kumuJudha pakutanga, nekumuGirikiwo.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto life, to all who believe in it; whether first they are of the Jews, or whether they are of the Gentiles.
17 Nokuti kururama kwaMwari kunoratidzwa mairi kubva parutendo kusvika parutendo; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Asi wakarurama achararama nerutendo.
For in it is revealed the righteousness of God, from faith to faith; as it is written, The righteous by faith, shall live.
18 Nokuti kutsamwa kwaMwari kunoratidzwa kubva kudenga pamusoro pekusada Mwari kwese nekusarurama kwevanhu vanodzivisa chokwadi nekusarurama;
For the wrath of God from heaven is revealed against all the iniquity and wickedness of men, who hold the truth in iniquity.
19 nokuti izvo zvinozikanwa pamusoro paMwari zviri pachena pakati pavo; nokuti Mwari wakazviratidza kwavari.
Because a knowledge of God is manifest in them; for God hath manifested it in them.
20 Nokuti zvisingaonekwi zvake, kubva pakusikwa kwenyika, zvinonzwisisika pazvinhu zvakaitwa, zvinooneswa pachena, simba rake rekusingaperi pamwe neuMwari hwake, kuti vasava nemanzvengero; (aïdios g126)
For, from the foundations of the world, the occult things of God are seen, by the intellect, in the things he created, even his eternal power and divinity; so that they might be without excuse; (aïdios g126)
21 nokuti vakati vaziva Mwari, havana kumurumbidza saMwari kana kuvonga, asi vakava vasina maturo mumirangariro yavo, nemoyo wavo usinganzwisisi wakaitwa mutema.
because they knew God, and did not glorify him and give thanks to him as God, but became vain in their imaginings, and their unwise heart was darkened.
22 Vachizvipupurira kuva vakachenjera vakava mapenzi,
And, while they thought within themselves that they were wise, they became fools.
23 uye vakashandurira kubwinya kwaMwari asingafi kumufananidzo wechifananidzo chemunhu anofa nekushiri nekuzvine makumbo mana nekuzvinokambaira.
And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into a likeness to the image of a corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles on the earth.
24 Naizvozvowo Mwari wakavapa kutsvina kubudikidza nekuchiva kwemoyo yavo, kuti vazvidze miviri yavo pakati pavo;
For this cause, God gave them up to the filthy lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies with them.
25 avo vakashandurira chokwadi chaMwari kunhema, uye vakanamata nekushumira chisikwa kupfuura Musiki, iye anorumbidzwa nekusingaperi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
And they changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the created things, much more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessing, for ever and ever: Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Nekuda kweizvozvo Mwari wakavapa kukuchiva kunonyadzisa; nokuti kunyange vanhukadzi vavo vakashandura basa rechisikirwo rive rinopesana nechisikirwo;
For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions: for their females changed the use of their natures, and employed that which is unnatural.
27 uye saizvozvowo vanhurume vakasiya basa rechisikirwo kumunhukadzi, vakapiswa nekuchivana kwavo, vanhurume nevanhurume vachiita zvinonyadzisa vachigamuchira mukati mavo muripo wakafanira kurasika kwavo.
And so also their males forsook the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the just recompense of their error.
28 Uye zvavakaona zvisina kufanira kugara naMwari muruzivo, Mwari wakavapa kumurangariro wakaraswa, kuti vaite zvinhu zvisakafanira;
And as they did not determine with themselves to know God, God gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not,
29 vakazadzwa nekusarurama kwese, ufeve, kuipa, ruchiva, unhubu, kuzara negodo, umhondi, gakava, kunyengera, utsotsi, vanoita makuhwa,
being full of all iniquity, and lewdness, and bitterness, and malice, and covetousness, and envy, and slaughter, and strife, and guile, and evil machinations,
30 vacheri, vavengi vaMwari, vazvidzi, vadadi, vanozvikudza, vavambi vezvakaipa, vasingateereri vabereki,
and backbiting, and slander; and being haters of God, scoffers, proud, vain-glorious, devisers of evil things, destitute of reason, disregardful of parents,
31 vasinganzwisisi, vaputsi vesungano, vane utsinye, vasingaregereri, vasina tsitsi,
and to whom a covenant is nothing, neither affection, nor peace, and in whom is no compassion.
32 avo vanoti vachiziva murairo wekururama kwaMwari, kuti vanoita zvakadai vakafanirwa nerufu, havaiti izvo chete, asiwo vanotenderana nevanozviita.
These, while they know the judgment of God, that he condemneth those to death who perpetrate such things, are not only doers of them, but the companions of such as do them.
