VaRoma 1
1 Pauro, muranda waJesu Kristu, wakadanwa kuva muapositori, atsaurirwa evhangeri yaMwari,
Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,
2 (yaakagara avimbisa nevaporofita vake mumagwaro matsvene),
(Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)
3 maererano neMwanakomana wake, wakabva kumbeu yaDhavhidhi zvichienderana nenyama,
Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,
4 wakatemerwa kuva Mwanakomana waMwari nesimba, maererano neMweya weutsvene, nekumuka kwevakafa, ndiye Jesu Kristu Ishe wedu;
And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)
5 watakagamuchira naye nyasha nevuapositori kuti kuve kuteerera kwerutendo pakati pevahedheni vese, nekuda kwezita rake,
By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,
6 vamuri pakati pavo nemwi, vakadanwa vaJesu Kristu;
Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:
7 kune vese vari muRoma, vadikanwi vaMwari, vakadanwa kuva vatsvene: Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naIshe Jesu Kristu.
To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
8 Kutangawo ndinovonga Mwari wangu nemuna Jesu Kristu pamusoro penyu mese, kuti rutendo rwenyu rwunoparidzirwa panyika yese.
First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.
9 Nokuti Mwari chapupu changu, wandinoshumira pamweya wangu muevhangeri yeMwanakomana wake, kuti handiregi kukurangarirai,
For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you
10 panguva dzese muminyengetero yangu ndinokumbira, kuti kana zvichigoneka nechido chaMwari, ndibudirire kuuya kwamuri pakuguma.
Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto you.
11 Nokuti ndinoshuva kukuonai, kuti ndikupei chimwe chipo chemweya, kuti musimbiswe,
For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:
12 ndiko kuti, ndinyaradzwe pamwe pakati penyu, nerutendo rweumwe neumwe, zvese rwenyu nerwangu.
That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.
13 Zvino handidi kuti musaziva, hama, kuti kazhinji ndaizvipira kuuya kwamuri (ndokudziviswa kusvikira ikozvino), kuti ndive nechimwe chibereko pakati penyuwo, sepakati pevamwe vahedheniwo.
Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I haue oftentimes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) that I might haue some fruite also among you, as I haue among the other Gentiles.
14 Ndine ngava kuVaGiriki nekuvatorwawo, kuvakachenjera nekune vasina kuchenjerawo;
I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.
15 saizvozvo sezviri mandiri ndakagadzirira kuparidza evhangeri kwamuriwo imwi muri paRoma.
Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that 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 of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian.
17 Nokuti kururama kwaMwari kunoratidzwa mairi kubva parutendo kusvika parutendo; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Asi wakarurama achararama nerutendo.
For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.
18 Nokuti kutsamwa kwaMwari kunoratidzwa kubva kudenga pamusoro pekusada Mwari kwese nekusarurama kwevanhu vanodzivisa chokwadi nekusarurama;
For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
19 nokuti izvo zvinozikanwa pamusoro paMwari zviri pachena pakati pavo; nokuti Mwari wakazviratidza kwavari.
Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto 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 the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should 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 that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse.
22 Vachizvipupurira kuva vakachenjera vakava mapenzi,
When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.
23 uye vakashandurira kubwinya kwaMwari asingafi kumufananidzo wechifananidzo chemunhu anofa nekushiri nekuzvine makumbo mana nekuzvinokambaira.
For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things.
24 Naizvozvowo Mwari wakavapa kutsvina kubudikidza nekuchiva kwemoyo yavo, kuti vazvidze miviri yavo pakati pavo;
Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:
25 avo vakashandurira chokwadi chaMwari kunhema, uye vakanamata nekushumira chisikwa kupfuura Musiki, iye anorumbidzwa nekusingaperi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Nekuda kweizvozvo Mwari wakavapa kukuchiva kunonyadzisa; nokuti kunyange vanhukadzi vavo vakashandura basa rechisikirwo rive rinopesana nechisikirwo;
For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature.
27 uye saizvozvowo vanhurume vakasiya basa rechisikirwo kumunhukadzi, vakapiswa nekuchivana kwavo, vanhurume nevanhurume vachiita zvinonyadzisa vachigamuchira mukati mavo muripo wakafanira kurasika kwavo.
And likewise also the men left the naturall vse of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthinesse, and receiued in themselues such recompence of their errour, as was meete.
28 Uye zvavakaona zvisina kufanira kugara naMwari muruzivo, Mwari wakavapa kumurangariro wakaraswa, kuti vaite zvinhu zvisakafanira;
For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient,
29 vakazadzwa nekusarurama kwese, ufeve, kuipa, ruchiva, unhubu, kuzara negodo, umhondi, gakava, kunyengera, utsotsi, vanoita makuhwa,
Being full of all vnrighteousnesse, fornication, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the euill part, whisperers,
30 vacheri, vavengi vaMwari, vazvidzi, vadadi, vanozvikudza, vavambi vezvakaipa, vasingateereri vabereki,
Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,
31 vasinganzwisisi, vaputsi vesungano, vane utsinye, vasingaregereri, vasina tsitsi,
without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.
32 avo vanoti vachiziva murairo wekururama kwaMwari, kuti vanoita zvakadai vakafanirwa nerufu, havaiti izvo chete, asiwo vanotenderana nevanozviita.
Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them.
