VaGaratiya 2

¹Zvino, makore anegumi namana akati apfuvura, ndakakwira zveJerusarema naBharnabhasi, ndikaenda vo naTitosi.Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

²Ndakakwira nokuda kwokuratidzwa; ndikarondedzera pamberi pavo Evhangeri yandinoparidza pakati pavahedheni, asi kunavakanga vachikudzwa vari voga, kuti zvimwe ndirege kumhanyira pasina, kana kuti zvimwe ndatomhanyira pasina.And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

³Asi naTitosi, waiva neni, ari muGiriki, haana kurovererwa kuti adzingiswe;But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

⁴nokuda kwehama dzenhema, vakanga vapinzwa nokunyanga, vakanga vapinda pakavanda kuti vashore kusununguka kwedu kwatinako munaKristu Jesu, kuti vatisunge;And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

⁵hatina kuvatsedukira ivava, tichivaterera nguva imwe; kuti zvokwadi yeEvhangeri irambe ichigara nemi.To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

⁶Zvino kana vari ivo vanonzi vakuru handine mhaka kuti vaiva vakadini kare; Mwari haatendi zvinovonekwa zvomunhu kana vari ivo vanonzi vakuru, havana kundiwedzera chinhu;But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

⁷asi ivo vakati vavona kuti ini ndakapiwa Evhangeri kunovasina kudzingiswa, saPetro kuna vakadzingiswa;But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

⁸(nokuti iye wakapa Petro simba rokuva muapostora kuna vakadzingiswa, ndiye wakapa vo ini simba rokuva muapostora kuvahedheni);(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

⁹vakati vavona nyasha dzandakanga ndapiwa, Jakobho, naKefasi, naJohaneavo vainzi mbiru vakatibata isu tose naBharnabhasi namavoko orudyi okuyanana, kuti isu tiende kuvahedheni, ivo kuna vakadzingiswa;And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

¹⁰vakada chete kuti tirangarire varombo; ndizvo zvandakashingairira vo kuti ndizviite.Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

¹¹Zvino Kefasi wakati asvika Antiokia ndakamudzivisa pachena, nokuti wakanga anemhosva.But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

¹²Nokuti vamwe, vakanga vabva kunaJakobho, vasati vasvika, iye waidya navahedheni; asi vakati vasvika, akadzoka, akazviravura, achitya vakadzingiswa.For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

¹³Navamwe vaJudha vakaita mano-mano vo pamwe chete naye; zvikaita kuti naiye Bharnabhasi vo akatsauswa namano-mano avo.And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

¹⁴Asi ndakati ndichivona kuti havafambi zvakarurama nezvokwadi yeEvhangeri, ndakati kunaKefasi pamberi pavose: Kana iwe, uri muJudha, uchifamba savahedheni, usingaiti savaJudha, unoroverera seiko vahedheni, kuti vafambe savaJudha?But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

¹⁵Isu vaJudha pakuzvarwa kwedu, tisati tiri vatadzi vanobva kuvahedheni,We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

¹⁶zvatinoziva kuti munhu haaruramiswi namabasa omurairo, asi nokutenda kunaKristu Jesu, nesu vo takatenda kuna Kristu Jesu, kuti tiruramiswe nokutenda kunaKristu, tirege kururamiswa namabasa omurairo; nokuti hakune nyama icharuramiswa namabasa omurairo.Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

¹⁷Zvino kana isu pakutsvaka kwedu kururamiswa munaKristu, tikawanikwa tiri vatadzi vo timene, ko Kristu wava mushumiri wezvivi here? Haisva!But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

¹⁸Nokuti kana ndikavaka zve izvo zvandamboputsa, ndinozviita mudariki.For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

¹⁹Nokuti nomurairo ini ndakafa kumurairo, kuti ndirarame kunaMwari,For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

²⁰Ndakaroverwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe chete naKristu; handichiri ini ndinorarama, asi Kristu unorarama mandiri; kurarama uku, kwandinorarama nako munyama zvino, ndinorarama nokutenda kuri muMwanakomana waMwari; wakandida akazvipa nokuda kwanguI am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

²¹Handikonesi nyasha dzaMwari nokuti kana kururamiswa kuchibva kumurairo, Kristu wakafa pasina.I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
