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

¹Now we 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 each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto edifying.

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

³For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon 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 through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.

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

⁵Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus:

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

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

⁷Naizvozvo gamuchiranai, Kristu sezvaakatigamuchirawo, rwuve rukudzo rwaMwari.

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

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

⁸For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises [given] 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, Therefore will I give praise unto 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 let all the peoples praise him.

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 that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.

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, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

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 yourselves 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,

¹⁵But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God,

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

¹⁶that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Naizvozvo ndine kuzvikudza muna Kristu Jesu pazvinhu zvemaererano naMwari.

¹⁷I have therefore my glorifying in Christ Jesus in 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 of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

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

¹⁹in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even 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, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was [already] named, that I might not build upon another man's foundation;

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

²¹but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.

²²Nekuda kweizvozviwo, ndakadzivirirwa kazhinji kuuya kwamuri;

²²Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:

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

²³but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing 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 go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)--

²⁵Asi ikozvino ndinoenda kuJerusarema kunoshumira vatsvene.

²⁵but now, I [say], I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints.

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

²⁶For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem.

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

²⁷Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it [to them] 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 accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain.

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

²⁹And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing 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, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by 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 are disobedient in Judaea, and [that] my ministration which [I have] for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

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

³²that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.

³³Zvino Mwari werugare ngaave nemwi mose. Ameni.

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