Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
Pauro muapositori asingabvi kuvanhu, uye kwete nemunhu, asi naJesu Kristu, naMwari Baba vakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa,
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
nehama dzese dzineni, kumakereke eGaratia:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba, naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
4 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)
wakazvipa nekuda kwezvivi zvedu, kuti atisunungure panyika yakaipa yaikozvino, maererano nechido chaMwari naBaba vedu; (aiōn g165)
kuve nekubwinya kwaari kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
Ndinoshamisika kuti munokurumidza zvakadai kubva kune uyo wakakudanai munyasha dzaKristu, muchienda kune imwe evhangeri;
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
isati iri imwe; asi kune vamwe vanokutambudzai vachidawo kutsaudzira evhangeri yaKristu.
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
Asi kunyange isu kana mutumwa anobva kudenga akakuparidzirai evhangeri yakasiyana neyatakaparidza kwamuri, ngaave chakatukwa.
9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
Sezvatakamboreva, uye ndinorevazve ikozvino: Kana umwe akakuparidzirai evhangeri yakasiyana neyamakagamuchira, ngaave chakatukwa.
10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.
Nokuti ikozvino ndinonyengetedza vanhu here kana Mwari? Kana ndinotsvaka kufadza vanhu here? Nokuti kana ndichiri kufadza vanhu, ndingadai ndisiri muranda waKristu.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Asi ndinokuzivisai, hama, evhangeri yakaparidzwa neni, kuti haina kuita seyevanhu.
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Nokuti neni handina kuigamuchira kumunhu, uye handina kuidzidziswa, asi nekuzarurirwa kwaJesu Kristu.
13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
Nokuti makanzwa mufambiro wangu kwekutanga pachiJudha, kuti ndaishusha kereke yaMwari zvikurusa sei, nekuiparadza;
14 I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
uye ndaibudirira pachiJudha kupfuura vazhinji vezero rangu parudzi rwangu, ndichishingairisisa tsika dzemadzibaba angu.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
Asi zvakati zvafadza Mwari, iye wakandisanangura kubva padumbu ramai vangu, akandidana nenyasha dzake,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
kuratidza Mwanakomana wake mandiri, kuti ndimuparidze pakati pevahedheni, pakarepo handina kurangana nenyama neropa;
17 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.
uye handina kukwira kuJerusarema kune vakanditangira kuva vaapositori, asi ndakaenda kuArabhiya, ndikadzokerazve kuDhamasiko.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Ipapo shure kwemakore matatu ndakakwira kuJerusarema kunoona Petro, ndikagara naye mazuva gumi nemashanu.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
Asi handina kuona umwe wevaapositori, kunze kwaJakobho munin'ina waIshe.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
Zvino zvinhu zvandinokunyorerai, tarira pamberi paMwari, kuti handinyepi.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Shure kwaizvozvo ndakaenda kumatunhu eSiriya neeKirikia.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
Asi ndakange ndisingazikanwi pachiso nemakereke eJudhiya aiva muna Kristu;
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
asi vakange vanzwa chete kuti: Waititambudza nguva dzakapfuura, zvino woparidza rutendo rwaaimboparadza.
24 So they glorified God in me.
Vakarumbidzawo Mwari mandiri.
