Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
Haiwa VaGaratia matununu, ndiani wakakuroyai kuti murege kuteerera chokwadi, imwi makaratidzwa Jesu Kristu pachena pamberi pemeso, akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pakati penyu?
2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
Ndichochi chete chandinoda kudzidza kwamuri chekuti: Makagamuchira Mweya nemabasa emurairo here, kana nekunzwa kwerutendo?
3 Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
Ko muri matununu akadai? Makatanga muMweya, zvino mopedzisa munyama here?
4 Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
Makatambudzika zvikuru zvakadai pasina here? Zvakadaro pasinawo!
5 Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
Naizvozvo iye anokupai Mweya neanoita mabasa esimba pakati penyu, anozviita nemabasa emurairo here, kana nekunzwa kwerutendo?
6 So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Abhurahama sezvaakatenda Mwari, zvikaverengwawo kwaari kuti kururama.
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
Naizvozvo munoziva kuti avo verutendo, ndivo vana vaAbhurahama.
8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
Nerugwaro, rwaona zviri mberi kuti Mwari anoti vahedheni vakarurama kubudikidza nerutendo, rwakagara rwaparidza evhangeri kuna Abhurahama, ruchiti: Mauri marudzi ese acharopafadzwa.
9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
Naizvozvo verutendo vanoropafadzwa pamwe naAbhurahama wakatenda.
10 All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
Nokuti vese vemabasa emurairo vari pasi pekutukwa; nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Wakatukwa wese asingarambiri pazvese zvakanyorwa mubuku yemurairo kuti azviite.
11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
Asi zviri pachena kuti hakuna munhu anonzi wakarurama nemurairo pamberi paMwari, nokuti kunonzi: Wakarurama achararama nerutendo.
12 The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
Zvino murairo haubvi parutendo, asi zvinonzi: Munhu anoita zvinhu izvi achararama mazviri.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
Kristu wakatidzikunura pachakatukwa chemurairo, aitirwa chakatukwa isu, nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Wakatukwa wese wakaremberera pamuti;
14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
kuti ropafadzo yaAbhurahama isvike kuvahedheni muna Kristu Jesu, kuti tigamuchire nerutendo chivimbiso cheMweya.
15 Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
Hama, ndinotaura nemutoo wevanhu; kunyange sungano yevanhu yasimbiswa, hakuna munhu anoikonesa kana kuwedzera kwairi.
16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
Zvino zvivimbiso zvakataurwa kuna Abhurahama nekumbeu yake. Haarevi achiti: Nekumbeu dzako, sevanenge vazhinji, asi saanenge ari mumwe, anoti: Nekumbeu yako; inova Kristu.
17 What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.
Ndinoreva ichiwo: Sungano yakagara yasimbiswa naMwari muna Kristu, murairo ukazouya makore mazana mana nemakumi matatu apfuura haungaishaisi maturo, kuti uite chivimbiso chive chisina maturo.
18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
Nokuti kana nhaka ichibva kumurairo, haichabvi kuchivimbiso; asi Mwari wakapa pachena Abhurahama nechivimbiso.
19 Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.
Ko murairo chii? Wakawedzerwa nekuda kwekudarika, kusvikira mbeu yasvika yakaitirwa chivimbiso; wakagadzwa nevatumwa muruoko rwemurevereri.
20 A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
Asi murevereri haasi weumwe, asi Mwari ndeumwe.
21 Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
Ko murairo unopesana nezvivimbiso zvaMwari here? Ngazvisadaro! Nokuti dai pakange pane murairo wakapiwa unogona kuraramisa, zvirokwazvo kururama kungadai kuchibva kumurairo.
22 But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.
Asi rugwaro rwakapfigira zvese pasi pechivi, kuti chivimbiso chinobva parutendo rwaJesu Kristu chipiwe kune vanotenda.
23 Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
Asi kusati kwasvika rutendo, taichengetwa pasi pemurairo, takapfigirwa kusvikira kurutendo rwaizozarurwa shure.
24 So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Saizvozvo murairo wakange uri murairidzi wedu kuna Kristu, kuti tinzi takarurama nerutendo.
25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
Asi rutendo rwakati rwasvika, hatisisiri pasi pemurairidzi.
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Nokuti mese muri vana vaMwari nerutendo muna Kristu Jesu.
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Nokuti mese makabhabhatidzwa muna Kristu, makapfeka Kristu.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Hakuna muJudha kana muGiriki, hakuna wakasungwa kana wakasununguka, hakuna munhurume nemunhukadzi; nokuti imwi mese muri vamwe muna Kristu Jesu.
29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
Zvino kana imwi muri vanhu vaKristu, saka muri mbeu yaAbhurahama, uye vadyi venhaka maererano nechivimbiso.
