1Uvayeudzire kuzviisa pasi pevatungamiriri nemasimba, kuti vateerere vatongi, vakazvigadzira basa rose akanaka,
1Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2varege kunyomba munhu, varege kuva vebongozozo, vanyoro, vaitire vanhu vose unyoro hwose.
2To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3Nekuti nesu pacheduwo taimbova matununu, tisingateereri, takatsauswa, tichishumira kuchiva nemafaro zvakasiyana siyana, tichirarama mukushata negodo, tichivenga, tichivengana.
3For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4Kuzoti unyoro nerudo rwaMwari Muponesi wedu kuvanhu zvaonekwa,
4But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5kwete zvichibva pamabasa ekururama atakaita, asi zvichienderana netsitsi dzake wakatiponesa kubudikidza nekushambidzwa kwekuberekwa kutsva nokuvandudzwa kweMweya Mutsvene,
5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6waakawodzvorera pamusoro pedu kubudikidza naJesu Kristu muponesi wedu,
6Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7kuti tichinzi takarurama nenyasha dzake, tiitwe vadyi venhaka zvichienderana netariro yeupenyu hwusingaperi.
7That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8Ishoko rakatendeka uye zvinhu izvi ndinoda kuti murambe muchisimbisa, kuti vakatenda kuna Mwari vachenjerere kuchengetedza mabasa akanaka. Zvinhu izvi zvakanaka uye zvinobatsira kuvanhu;
8This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9asi nzvenga mibvunzo yeupenzi, nenhoroondo dzamazita amadzinza, nemakakatamwa nemakakava pamusoro pemurairo, nekuti hazvibatsiri uye hazvina maturo.
9But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10Munhu unotsauka shure kwekurairwa kwekutanga nekwechipiri umusiye,
10A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11uchiziva kuti uyo wakadaro wakatsauka, uye unotadza, achizvipa mhosva amene.
11Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12Pandichituma Artema kwauri, kana Tikiko, ushingaire kuuya kwandiri kuNikopori; nekuti ndakazvipira kugarapo pachando.
12When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13Shingaira kubatsira Zenasi nyanzvi yemutemo naAporo parwendo rwavo kuti varege kushaiwa chinhu.
13Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14Nevekweduwo ngavadzidze kuchengetedza mabasa akanaka anodikamwa pakushaiwa, kuti varege kuva vasina zvibereko.
14And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15vose vaneni vanokukwazisa. Kwazisa avo vanotida parutendo. Nyasha ngadzive nemwi mose. Ameni.
15All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
