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

¹And we ought — we who are strong — to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves;

²Umwe neumwe wedu ngaafadze umwe wake pane zvakanaka pakusimbisa.

²for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, unto edification,

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

³for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, `The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;`

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

⁴for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

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

⁵And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;

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

⁶that with one accord — with one mouth — ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁷Naizvozvo gamuchiranai, Kristu sezvaakatigamuchirawo, rwuve rukudzo rwaMwari.

⁷wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God.

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

⁸And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,

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

⁹and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, `Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,`

¹⁰Uyezve unoti: Farai imwi vahedheni pamwe nevanhu vake.

¹⁰and again it saith, `Rejoice ye nations, with His people;`

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

¹¹and again, `Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;`

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

¹²and again, Isaiah saith, `There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations — upon him shall nations hope;`

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

¹³and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

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

¹⁴And I am persuaded, my brethren — I myself also — concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;

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

¹⁵and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

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

¹⁶for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Naizvozvo ndine kuzvikudza muna Kristu Jesu pazvinhu zvemaererano naMwari.

¹⁷I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining 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 anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

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

¹⁹in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;

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

²⁰and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named — that upon another`s foundation I might not build —

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

²¹but according as it hath been written, `To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.`

²²Nekuda kweizvozviwo, ndakadzivirirwa kazhinji kuuya kwamuri;

²²Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you,

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

²³and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years,

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

²⁴when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.

²⁵Asi ikozvino ndinoenda kuJerusarema kunoshumira vatsvene.

²⁵And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;

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

²⁶for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem;

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

²⁷for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

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

²⁸This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;

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

²⁹and I have known that coming unto you — in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.

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

³⁰And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God,

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

³¹that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;

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

³²that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,

³³Zvino Mwari werugare ngaave nemwi mose. Ameni.

³³and the God of the peace [be] with you all. Amen.
