Galatians 4
1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, though he is lord of all;
Zvandinoreva ndezvokuti kana mudyi wenhaka achiri mwana, haana kusiyana nenhapwa, kunyange hazvo ari muridzi wezvinhu zvose.
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
Ari pasi pavatariri navachengeti kusvikira panguva yakatarwa nababa vake.
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
Saizvozvowo, patakanga tiri vana, takanga tiri muutapwa pasi pezvokuvamba zvenyika.
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
Asi nguva yakati yakwana, Mwari akatuma Mwanakomana wake, akaberekwa nomukadzi, akaberekwa pasi pomurayiro,
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive the adoption as sons.
kuti adzikinure avo vari pasi pomurayiro, kuti tigamuchire kodzero yakazara yavanakomana.
6 And because you are sons, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba, Father."
Nokuda kwokuti muri vanakomana, Mwari akatuma Mweya woMwanakomana wake mumwoyo yedu, Mweya anodana achiti, “Abha, Baba.”
7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God.
Saka hamuchisiri nhapwa, asi vanakomana; uye sezvo muri vanakomana, Mwari akakuitaiwo vadyi venhaka.
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
Kare, pamakanga musingazivi Mwari, makanga muri nhapwa kuna avo vakanga vasiri vamwari chaivo.
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?
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, months, seasons, and years.
Muri kucherechedza mazuva akasarudzika uye mwedzi nemwaka namakore!
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
Ndinokutyirai kuti zvichida ndakatambisa simba rangu pamusoro penyu.
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
Ndinokumbira zvikuru kwamuri, hama, kuti muve seni, nokuti ini ndakaita semi. Hamuna kunditadzira.
13 but you know that in physical weakness I preached the Good News to you the first time;
Sezvamunoziva imi, kuti nokuda kwourwere ndakatanga kuparidza vhangeri kwamuri.
14 and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not despise nor reject; but you 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 was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
Ko, chii chakaitika kumufaro wenyu wose uya? Ndinogona kupupura kuti dai zvaibvira, mungadai makatumbura meso enyu makaapa kwandiri.
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Zvino ndava muvengi wenyu zvandakuudzai chokwadi here?
17 They zealously seek you, but for no good purpose; they desire to alienate you, that you may be zealous for them.
Vanhu ivavo vanoshingaira kuti vakubatei, asi pazvinhu zvisina kunaka. Zvavanoda ndezvokukutsausai kubva kwatiri, kuitira kuti imi mugovashingairira.
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, 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 children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
Vana vangu vanodikanwa, vandinotamburirazve pakubereka kusvikira Kristu aumbwa mamuri,
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about 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 listen to the law?
Ndiudzei, imi munoda kuva pasi pomurayiro, hamuzivi here zvinoreva murayiro?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman, and one by the free woman.
Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuti Abhurahama akanga ana vanakomana vaviri, mumwe nomukadzi woutapwa uye mumwe nomukadzi akasununguka.
23 However, the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
Mwanakomana wake womukadzi mutapwa akaberekwa nenzira yenyama; asi mwanakomana wake womukadzi akasununguka akaberekwa nokuda kwechipikirwa.
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to slavery, which is Hagar.
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 Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and represents Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in slavery with her children.
Zvino Hagari anomirira Gomo reSinai muArabhia uye rakaenzana neguta reJerusarema razvino, nokuti riri pautapwa navana varo.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Asi Jerusarema riri kumusoro rakasununguka, uye ndivo mai vedu.
27 For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who do not bear. Break forth and shout, you that do not travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a 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 you, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Zvino imi hama, muri vana vechipikirwa saIsaka.
29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
Panguva iyoyo mwanakomana akazvarwa nenzira yenyama akatambudza mwanakomana akaberekwa nesimba roMweya. Zvakadaro nanhasi.
30 However what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not inherit 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 a handmaid, but of the free woman.
Naizvozvo, hama, isu hatizi vana vomurandakadzi, asi vomukadzi akasununguka.
