Galatians 4
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Zvandinoreva ndezvokuti kana mudyi wenhaka achiri mwana, haana kusiyana nenhapwa, kunyange hazvo ari muridzi wezvinhu zvose.
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Ari pasi pavatariri navachengeti kusvikira panguva yakatarwa nababa vake.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Saizvozvowo, patakanga tiri vana, takanga tiri muutapwa pasi pezvokuvamba zvenyika.
4 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Asi nguva yakati yakwana, Mwari akatuma Mwanakomana wake, akaberekwa nomukadzi, akaberekwa pasi pomurayiro,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
kuti adzikinure avo vari pasi pomurayiro, kuti tigamuchire kodzero yakazara yavanakomana.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Nokuda kwokuti muri vanakomana, Mwari akatuma Mweya woMwanakomana wake mumwoyo yedu, Mweya anodana achiti, “Abha, Baba.”
7 Why you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Saka hamuchisiri nhapwa, asi vanakomana; uye sezvo muri vanakomana, Mwari akakuitaiwo vadyi venhaka.
8 However, then, when you knew not God, you did service to them which by nature are no gods.
Kare, pamakanga musingazivi Mwari, makanga muri nhapwa kuna avo vakanga vasiri vamwari chaivo.
9 But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?
Asi zvino zvamava kuziva Mwari, kana kuti munozivikanwa naMwari, seiko mava kudzokera kune zvokuvamba zvisina simba uye zvinonzwisa urombo? Munodazve kuitwa nhapwa nazvo here?
10 You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Muri kucherechedza mazuva akasarudzika uye mwedzi nemwaka namakore!
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed on you labor in vain.
Ndinokutyirai kuti zvichida ndakatambisa simba rangu pamusoro penyu.
12 Brothers, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as you are: you have not injured me at all.
Ndinokumbira zvikuru kwamuri, hama, kuti muve seni, nokuti ini ndakaita semi. Hamuna kunditadzira.
13 You know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at the first.
Sezvamunoziva imi, kuti nokuda kwourwere ndakatanga kuparidza vhangeri kwamuri.
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh you despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Kunyange zvazvo kurwara kwangu kwaiva muedzo kwamuri, hamuna kundisema kana kundimhura. Asi, makandigamuchira sokunge ndaiva mutumwa waMwari, sokunge ndakanga ndiri Jesu Kristu chaiye.
15 Where is then the blessedness you spoke of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
Ko, chii chakaitika kumufaro wenyu wose uya? Ndinogona kupupura kuti dai zvaibvira, mungadai makatumbura meso enyu makaapa kwandiri.
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Zvino ndava muvengi wenyu zvandakuudzai chokwadi here?
17 They zealously affect you, but not well; yes, they would exclude you, that you might affect them.
Vanhu ivavo vanoshingaira kuti vakubatei, asi pazvinhu zvisina kunaka. Zvavanoda ndezvokukutsausai kubva kwatiri, kuitira kuti imi mugovashingairira.
18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
Zvakanaka kwazvo kushingaira, kana chinangwa chacho chakanaka, uye kuti muite izvozvo nguva dzose kwete kana ndinemi bedzi.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Vana vangu vanodikanwa, vandinotamburirazve pakubereka kusvikira Kristu aumbwa mamuri,
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
ndaida sei kuti ndive nemi zvino uye ndishandure matauriro angu, nokuti ndiri kukanganisika nokuda kwenyu.
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?
Ndiudzei, imi munoda kuva pasi pomurayiro, hamuzivi here zvinoreva murayiro?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a female slave, the other by a free woman.
Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuti Abhurahama akanga ana vanakomana vaviri, mumwe nomukadzi woutapwa uye mumwe nomukadzi akasununguka.
23 But he who was of the female slave was born after the flesh; but he of the free woman was by promise.
Mwanakomana wake womukadzi mutapwa akaberekwa nenzira yenyama; asi mwanakomana wake womukadzi akasununguka akaberekwa nokuda kwechipikirwa.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which engenders to bondage, which is Agar.
Zvinhu izvi zvinofananidzira, nokuti vakadzi ava vanomirira sungano mbiri. Imwe sungano inobva paGomo reSinai uye inobereka vana vanofanira kuva nhapwa: Ndiye Hagari.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Zvino Hagari anomirira Gomo reSinai muArabhia uye rakaenzana neguta reJerusarema razvino, nokuti riri pautapwa navana varo.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Asi Jerusarema riri kumusoro rakasununguka, uye ndivo mai vedu.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, you barren that bore not; break forth and cry, you that travail not: for the desolate has many more children than she which has an husband.
Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Fara iwe mukadzi asingabereki, asingabereki vana; pembera udanidzire, iwe usingarwadziwi nokubereka; nokuti vana vomukadzi akasiyiwa vazhinji kupfuura vouyo ano murume.”
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Zvino imi hama, muri vana vechipikirwa saIsaka.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Panguva iyoyo mwanakomana akazvarwa nenzira yenyama akatambudza mwanakomana akaberekwa nesimba roMweya. Zvakadaro nanhasi.
30 Nevertheless what says the scripture? Cast out the female slave and her son: for the son of the female slave shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.
Asi Rugwaro runoti kudiniko? “Dzinga murandakadzi nomwanakomana wake, nokuti mwanakomana womurandakadzi haangatongogovani nhaka nomwanakomana womukadzi akasununguka.”
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of the female slave, but of the free.
Naizvozvo, hama, isu hatizi vana vomurandakadzi, asi vomukadzi akasununguka.
