Romans 5
1 Because we trusted [in Christ], the record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins}. So we [now] have a peaceful relationship with God because of our trust in what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
Naizvozvo zvatakanzi takarurama nerutendo, tine rugare kuna Mwari kubudikidza naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
2 Because of [what] Christ [has done], God has also enabled us to begin experiencing his continually acting toward us in ways that we do not deserve. Also, we rejoice because we are confidently expecting that God [will gladly show] us how great he is.
watine mapindirowo naye nerutendo munyasha idzi dzatinomira madziri, tichizvikudza mutariro yekubwinya kwaMwari.
3 We rejoice even when we suffer [as a result of our trusting in Christ], because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things [patiently].
Zvisati zviri izvo chetewo, asi tichizvikudzawo mumatambudziko, tichiziva kuti dambudziko rinouisa kutsungirira,
4 And [we know] that when we endure things [patiently], the result is that [God] approves [of us]. And when we [know that God] approves [of us], the result is that we confidently expect [that he will do great things for us].
uye kutsungirira kutsiga, nekutsiga tariro;
5 And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly [for], because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom [he] has} given to us, [causes] us to understand how much God loves us.
uye tariro hainyadzisi, nokuti rudo rwaMwari rwakadirwa mumoyo yedu neMweya Mutsvene wakapiwa kwatiri.
6 When we were unable [to save ourselves], it was Christ who, at the time [that God chose], died on behalf of [us] ungodly [people].
Nokuti tichiri pakushaiwa simba, Kristu panguva yakafanira wakafira vasingadi Mwari.
7 Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, [even if] that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person.
Nokuti zvinorema kuti umwe afire wakarurama; nokuti zvimwe kungavapo kunyange angatsunga kufira wakanaka.
8 Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
Asi Mwari anosimbisa rudo rwake amene kwatiri, kuti tichiri vatadzi Kristu wakatifira.
9 The record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins} because of [what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed when he died]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved by Christ {that Christ will save us} from God’s punishing us [eternally] [MTY].
Naizvozvo zvikurusa, ikozvino zvatinonzi takarurama muropa rake, tichaponeswa naye pahasha.
10 Even when we were acting hostilely towards God, he enabled us to have a peaceful relationship with him as a result of his Son dying [for us]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved {Christ will be able to save us} [from God’s punishing us] [MTY] because Christ is alive [again] and because [God] has enabled us to have a peaceful relationship [with himself].
Nokuti kana pataiva vavengi takayananiswa naMwari nerufu rweMwanakomana wake, kunyanya zvatakayananiswa tichaponeswa muupenyu hwake;
11 And that’s not all! Now we also rejoice about [the things that] God [has done for us] because of our Lord Jesus Christ [dying for us] and enabling us to have a peaceful relationship with God.
zvisati zviri izvozvowo chete, asi tinozvikudzawo muna Mwari kubudikidza naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, watakagamuchira ikozvino naye chiyananiso.
12 [What you can learn from what I have written so far is as follows]: All people are sinful [PRS], and that is the result of [Adam, the first] man whom [God created, sinning long ago]. Adam died [PRS] because he sinned. So, all people [who have lived since then] die, because [it is as though] all people sinned [when Adam sinned].
Naizvozvo, chivi sezvachakapinda munyika nemunhu umwe, nerufu rukapinda nechivi, uye saizvozvo rufu rwakapfuurira kuvanhu vese, nokuti vese vakatadza;
13 [People in] [MTY] the world sinned before [God gave his] laws [to Moses]. But people are not considered [by God] {[God] does not consider people} to be guilty for their sins if there is no law [stating that what they did was sinful].
nokuti kusvika murairo wavapo chivi chakange chiripo panyika; nokuti chivi hachiverengerwi, pasina murairo,
14 But [we know] that from [the time when] Adam [lived] until [the time when] Moses [lived], all people sinned, and they died [as a consequence] [PRS, MET]. Even people who sinned differently from the way Adam [sinned, died]. [Adam’s sin] affected [all people], just like what [Christ did], the one who came later, can affect all people.
asi rufu rwakabata ushe kubva kuna Adhamu kusvikira kuna Mozisi, kunyange pamusoro pevakange vasina kutadza zvakafanana sekudarika kwaAdhamu, anova mufananidzo waiye wakange achizouya.
15 But [the results of God’s erasing the record of our sins as] a gift to us are not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. The result of one man, [Adam], sinning was that many/all people have died. But [it is certain], [however], that many people have abundantly experienced God’s acting kindly toward them in a way they did not deserve. [It is also certain] that they have experienced God’s erasing the record of their sins as the result of one man, Jesus Christ, acting kindly toward them/towards them in a way they did not deserve.
Asi kwete sekudarika, zvakaitawo chipo chenyasha. Nokuti kana nekudarika kweumwe vazhinji vakafa, kunyanya kazhinji nyasha dzaMwari nechipo zvakawandira vazhinji nenyasha dzemunhu umwe, Jesu Kristu.
16 And [there is another way in which God’s] freely [erasing the record of our sins] is not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. One person, [Adam, sinned]. As a result, God declared that all people deserve to be punished. Many people sinned. But what God did was that he erased the record of their sins without their earning it.
Uye chipo hachina kuita seumwe wakatadza; nokuti kutongwa kwakabva kuneumwe kuchienda mukupiwa mhosva, asi chipo chenyasha chinobva pazvitadzo zvizhinji chichienda mukushaiswa mhosva.
17 All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, [Adam], did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule [with Christ] (OR, share [the glory] of Christ’s being king), [in heaven. This will happen] because of [what] one man, Jesus Christ, [did for us].
Nokuti kana nekudarika kweumwe rufu rwakatonga naiyeyu ega, kunyanya ivo vanogamuchira kuwanda kwenyasha nekwechipo chekururama vachatonga paupenyu naiyeyu umwe, Jesu Kristu.
18 So, [because one man, Adam], disobeyed [God’s law], that resulted in all people deserving to be punished {that God punish them}. Similarly, because one man, [Jesus], acted righteously [by obeying God when he died], the result was that God is [able to erase the record of] all people’s sins and [enable them to] live eternally.
Naizvozvo sezvo nekudarika kweumwe kutonga kwakauya kuvanhu vese, mukupiwa mhosva, saizvozvowo nekururama kweumwe, nyasha dzakauya kuvanhu vese mukusapiwa mhosva kweupenyu.
19 It was because one person, [Adam], disobeyed [God] that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, [Jesus], obeyed [God when he died] that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that [he] will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
Nokuti sezvo nekusateerera kwemunhu umwe vazhinji vakaitwa vatadzi, saizvozvowo nekuteerera kweumwe, vazhinji vachaitwa vakarurama.
20 [God gave] [PRS] his laws [to Moses] [PRS] in order that [people might realize] how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
Asi murairo wakapinda ukawedzera, kuti kudarika kuwande; asi chivi pachakawanda, nyasha dzakawanda nekupfuurisa;
21 He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
kuti chivi sezvachakatonga murufu, saizvozvo nenyasha dzitonge nekururama kusvika kuupenyu husingaperi, naJesu Kristu Ishe wedu. (aiōnios g166)
