¹Zvino isu tine simba tinofanira kutakura utera hwevasina simba, uye tisingazvifadzi isu.

¹We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

²Umwe neumwe wedu ngaafadze umwe wake pane zvakanaka pakusimbisa.

²Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

³Nekuti kunyange Kristu haana kuzvifadza; asi sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi: Kutuka kwevakakutukai kwakawira pamusoro pangu.

³For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

⁴Nekuti zvose zvakagara zvanyorwa zakanyorerwa kudzidza kwedu kuti kubudikidza nemoyo murefu nekunyaradza kwemagwaro tive netariro.

⁴For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

⁵Zvino Mwari wemoyo murefu nenyaradzo ngaape kwamuri moyo umwe, umwe kune umwe zvichitevera Kristu Jesu;

⁵Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

⁶kuti nemoyo umwe uye nemuromo umwe mukudze Mwari, ivo baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.

⁶That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷Naizvozvo gamuchiranai, Kristu sezvaakatigamuchirawo, rwuve rukudzo rwaMwari.

⁷Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

⁸Zvino ndinoti, Jesu Kristu wakava muranda wedzingiso nekuda kwechokwadi chaMwari, kuti asimbise zvivimbiso kumadzibaba.

⁸Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

⁹Uye kuti vahedheni vakudze Mwari nekuda kwetsitsi; sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi: Nekuda kweizvozvi ndichakureururai pakati pevahedheni, nekuimbira zita renyu rumbidzo.

⁹And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

¹⁰Uyezve unoti: Farai imwi vahedheni pamwe nevanhu vake.

¹⁰And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

¹¹Uyezve: Rumbidzai Ishe imwi vahedheni vose; mumukudze imwi vanhu vose.

¹¹And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

¹²uyezve Isaya unoti: Uchavapo mudzi waJese, naiye uchasimuka kutonga vahedheni; vahedheni vachavimba naye.

¹²And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

¹³Dai Mwari wetariro akuzadzai nemufaro wose nerugare parutendo, kuti muwedzere patariro, kubudikidza nesimba reMweya Mutsvene.

¹³Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

¹⁴Zvino ini ndomene ndinogutsikana nemwi hama dzangu, kuti imwi pachenyu muzere nekunaka, makazadzwa neruzivo rwose, munogonawo kurairana.

¹⁴And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

¹⁵Asi hama, ndinokunyorerai ndakatsunga zvikuru neimwe nzira, ndichiita sendinokuyeukai nekuda kwenyasha dzandakapiwa naMwari,

¹⁵Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,

¹⁶kuti ndive mushumiri waKristu Jesu kuvahedheni, ndichishumira evhangeri yaMwari, kuti zvibayiro zvevahedheni zvigamuchirike, zvichiitwa zvitsvene neMweya Mutsvene.

¹⁶That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷Naizvozvo ndine kuzvikudza muna Kristu Jesu pazvinhu zvemaererano naMwari.

¹⁷I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.

¹⁸Nekuti handingashingi kutaura chero chinhu chaizvo Kristu zvaasina kuita kubudikidza neni, kuti vahedheni vateerereswe neshoko nebasa,

¹⁸For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

¹⁹kubudikidza nezviratidzo nezvishamiso, nesimba reMweya waMwari; kuti kubva kuJerusarema nekwakapoteredza kusvikira Iririkumu, ndakaparidza zvakazara evhangeri yaKristu;

¹⁹Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

²⁰nekudaro ndakashingaira kuparidza evhangeri, apo pasina kumborehwa Kristu, kuti ndirege kuvaka pamusoro penheyo dzeumwe munhu;

²⁰Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

²¹asi, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Kune vasina kuudzwa zvake, vachaona, nevasina kunzwa vachanzwisisa.

²¹But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

²²Nekuda kweizvozviwo, ndakadzivirirwa kazhinji kuuya kwamuri;

²²For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

²³asi zvino zvandisisina nzvimbo pamatunhu awa, uye ndine chishuwo chikuru makore ose awa chekuuya kwamuri,

²³But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;

²⁴kana zvakadaro ndichaenda Sipania ndichauya kwamuri; nekuti ndinovimba kukuonai parwendo rwangu, ndiperekedzwe nemwi ikoko, kana ndatanga ndambogutswa zvishoma nemwi.

²⁴Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

²⁵Asi ikozvino ndinoenda kuJerusarema kunoshumira vatsvene.

²⁵But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

²⁶Nekuti zvakavafadza veMakedhonia neAkaya vakati zvakanaka kuti vape zvipo varombo vatsvene vari paJerusarema.

²⁶For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

²⁷Zvakavafadza zvikuru, uye vane ngava navo; nekuti kana vahedheni vakaitwa vagovani navo pazvinhu zvavo zveMweya, vane ngavawo rekuvashumira pazvinhu zvenyama.

²⁷It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.

²⁸Naizvozvo kana ndapedza chinhu ichi, ndikasimbisa chibereko ichi kwavari, ndichaenda Spania ndichipfuura nekwenyu.

²⁸When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

²⁹Uye ndine chokwadi kuti kana ndichiuya kwamuri, ndichauya pakuzara kwemaropafadzo eevhangeri yaKristu.

²⁹And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

³⁰Zvino ndinokukumbirisai hama, nekuda kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, uye nekuda kwerudo rweMweya, kuti murwise pamwe neni pakunyengetera kwenyu kuna Mwari pamusoro pangu;

³⁰Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

³¹kuti ndisunungurwe kuna avo vasingatendi muJudhiya, uye kuti basa rangu kune veJerusarema rigamuchirwe nevatsvene;

³¹That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

³²kuti ndiuye kwamuri nemufaro nekuda kwaMwari, ndivandudzwe pamwe nemwi.

³²That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

³³Zvino Mwari werugare ngaave nemwi mose. Ameni.

³³Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
