¹Nemhaka yeizvi, ini Pauro, musungwa waKristu Jesu nekuda kwenyu vahedheni,

¹For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

²kana makanzwa nezvekushandiswa kwenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwandiri pamusoro penyu,

²If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

³kuti sechakazarurwa wakandizivisa chakavanzika, sezvandakambokunyorerai namashoko mashoma;

³How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

⁴naizvozvo kana muchirava iwo, munganzwisisa ruzivo rwangu muchakavanzika chaKristu;

⁴Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

⁵icho pane mamwe mazera chisina kuziviswa kuvanakomana vevanhu, sezvachakanga chozarurirwa kuvaapositori vatsvene, nevaporofita neMweya;

⁵Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

⁶Kuti vahedheni vave vadyi venhaka pamwe nesu uye vemuviri umwe nevagovani vechivimbiso chake muna Kristu neevhangeri,

⁶That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

⁷yandakaitwa nayo mushumiri zvichienderana nechipo chenyasha dzaMwari chakapiwa kwandiri nekubata kwesimba rake.

⁷Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

⁸Kwandiri ndiri muduku kumudukusa wevatsvene vose, nyasha idzi dzakapiwa, kuti ndiparidze pakati pevahedheni fuma isinganzvereki yaKristu,

⁸Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

⁹nekuita kuti vose vaone kuti kudyidzana kwakadiniko kwechakavanzika chakanga chakavigwa muna Mwari kubva pakuvamba kwenyika, wakasika zvinhu zvose naKristu Jesu,

⁹And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

¹⁰kuti zvino paushe nepamasimba panzvimbo dzekudenga kudenga, kuchenjera kukuru kwaMwari kuziviswe nekereke;

¹⁰To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

¹¹sechiga chekusingaperi chaakatema muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu;

¹¹According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

¹²maari matine kutsunga nekupinda tine chivimbo, nerutendo rwake.

¹²In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

¹³Naizvozvo ndinokumbira kuti murege kuora moyo pakukutambudzikirai kwangu; ndiko kurumbidzwa kwenyu.

¹³Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¹⁴Nemhaka iyi ndinofugama nemabvi angu kuna Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,

¹⁴For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁵avo rudzi rwose rwuri kumatenga nepanyika rwunodaidzwa nezita ravo,

¹⁵Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

¹⁶kuti vakupei zvichienderana nefuma yeushe hwavo ukuru, kuti musimbiswe nesimba neMweya wake mumunhu wemukati;

¹⁶That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

¹⁷kuti Kristu agare pamoyo yenyu nerutendo; kuti imwi mune midzi nenheyo murudo,

¹⁷That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

¹⁸muve nesimba rekunzwisisa nevatsvene vose, kuti kufara, nekureba, nekukwirira, nekudzika chii,

¹⁸May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

¹⁹nokuziva rudo rwaKristu, runopfuura ruzivo, kuti muzadzwe nekuzara kose kwaMwari.

¹⁹And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

²⁰Zvino kune une simba rekuita zvikuru kwazvo zvinopfuura zvose zvatinokumbira kana kufunga maererano nesimba rinobata matiri,

²⁰Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

²¹kwaari ngakuve nekubwinya mukereke naKristu Jesu kusvikira kumarudzi ose nokusingaperi-peri, Ameni.

²¹Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
