¹Wakakumutsai, imwiwo makanga makafa mukudarika nemuzvivi,

¹And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

²izvo zvamaifamba mazviri kare nemutowo wenyika ino, nenzira dzemutungamiriri wesimba redenga, dzemweya unobata zvino muvana vekusateerera;

²Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

³vataifamba tose pakati pavo kare mukuchiva kwenyama yedu, tichiita kuda kwenyama nekwefungwa, nepachisikigo chedu isu taiva vana vekutsamwirwa sevamwewo.

³Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

⁴Asi Mwari wakafuma panyasha, nekuda kwerudo rwake rukuru rwaakatida narwo,

⁴But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁵kunyange takange takafa mukudarika, wakatimutsa pamwe naKristu (makaponeswa nenyasha);

⁵Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

⁶akatimutsa pamwe naye, akatigarisa pamwe naye kunzvimbo dzekumatenga, muna Kristu Jesu;

⁶And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

⁷kuti nenguva dzinovuya aratidze fuma hurusa yenyasha dzake muunyoro kwatiri muna Kristu Jesu;

⁷That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

⁸Nekuti nenyasha makaponeswa nerutendo, uye izvi hazvibvi kwamuri, asi chipo chaMwari;

⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

⁹hazvibvi pamabasa, kuti kusava neunozvikudza.

⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast.

¹⁰Nekuti tiri basa rake, takasikirwa mabasa akanaka muna Kristu Jesu, akagara agadzirwa naMwari kuti tifambe maari.

¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

¹¹Naizvozvo rangarirai kuti imwi panguva dzakapfuura, maiva vahedheni munyama, vanonzi kusadzingiswa naivo vanonzi vekudzingiswa munyama kunoitwa nemaoko;

¹¹Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

¹²kuti panguva iyo makange musina Kristu, muri vatorwa paubwo hwevaIsraeri, nevatorwa pasungano dzechivimbiso, musina tariro, uye musina Mwari panyika.

¹²That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

¹³Asi zvino muna Kristu Jesu, imwi maimbova kure, munoswededzwa neropa raKristu.

¹³But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴Nekuti ndiye rugare rwedu, iye wakaita zviviri zvive chimwe, akaputsa mudhuri wapakati wokuparadzanisa;

¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

¹⁵aparadza munyama yake ruvengo, iwo mutemo wemirairo pazviga; kuti asike maari pavaviri munhu umwe mutsva, aite rugare,

¹⁵Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

¹⁶uye kuti ayananise vaviri kuna Mwari, mumuviri umwe nemuchinjikwa, auraya ruvengo nawo;

¹⁶And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

¹⁷uye wakasvika akaparidza rugare kwamuri, imwi maiva kure, nekune avo vaiva pedo;

¹⁷And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

¹⁸nekuti kubudikidza naye isu tose tine mapindiro neMweya mumwe kuna Baba.

¹⁸For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

¹⁹Naizvozvo, zvino hamusisiri vaeni nevatorwa, asi vebwo pamwe nevatsvene neveimba yaMwari.

¹⁹Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

²⁰Makavakwa pamusoro penheyo dzevaapositori nevaporofita, Jesu Kristu amene ari mbiru yepakona.

²⁰And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

²¹Maari imba yose yakabatanidzwa, ikure ive tembere tsvene muna Ishe.

²¹In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

²²Maari nemwiwo makavakwa pamwe, kuti muve ugaro hwaMwari kubudikidza neMweya.

²²In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
