< Hebrews 12 >
1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
Naizvozvo nesu tine gore rezvapupu rakatikomberedza, ngatibvise mutoro wese nechivi chinonamatira nyore, ngatimhanye nemoyo murefu nhangemutange yatakaisirwa,
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
takatarira kuna Jesu, muvambi nemupedzeredzi werutendo, iye nekuda kwemufaro waakaisirwa, wakatsunga pamuchinjikwa, achizvidza kunyadziswa, akagara kuruoko rwerudyi rwechigaro cheushe chaMwari.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Nokuti cherekedzai iye wakatsunga pagakava rakadai revatadzi vachimirisana naye, kuti murege kuneta, muchipera simba pamweya yenyu.
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
Muchigere kupikisa kusvikira muropa muchirwa nechivi;
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
uye makakanganwa kurudziro inokurukura kwamuri sekuvana ichiti: Mwanakomana wangu, usazvidza kuranga kwaIshe, kana kupera simba kana uchitsiurwa naye.
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
Nokuti Ishe anoranga waanoda, nekushapura mwanakomana umwe neumwe waanogamuchira.
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
Kana muchitsunga pakurangwa, Mwari anokubatai sevanakomana; nokuti mwanakomana ndeupi baba wavasingarangi?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
Asi kana musina kurangwa, pavanoitwa vagovani vese, naizvozvo muri vana veupombwe, uye kwete vanakomana.
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Uyezve takambova nemadzibaba enyama yedu aidzora, uye tikavakudza; ko, hatingazviisi zvikurusa pasi paBaba vemweya tigorarama here?
10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Nokuti ivo zvimwe vakatiranga kwemazuva mashoma, semaonero avo; asi iye anotirangira kubatsirwa, kuti tigoverane utsvene hwake.
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Zvino kuranga kwese kunoenda pakuvapo hakuratidzi sekwekufadza, asi kwekushungurudza; zvakadaro pashure kunobereka zvibereko zverugare zvakarurama kune vakarovedzwa mazviri.
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
Naizvozvo simbisai maoko akaremberera pasi nemabvi asina simba;
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
uye gadzirirai tsoka dzenyu nzira dzakarurama, kuti icho chinokamhina chirege kushodoka, asi panzvimbo yeizvozvo chiporeswe.
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
Tevererai rugare nevese, neutsvene, kunze kwezvizvi hakuna munhu achaona Ishe.
15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
Muchichenjerera kuti kurege kuva nemunhu anokundikana panyasha dzaMwari; kuti zvimwe mudzi wekuvava urege kukura kuzopa dambudziko, uye nawo vazhinji vasvibiswe;
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
ngakurege kuva neumwe anova mhombwe kana asina hanya naMwari, saEsau, wakatengesa udangwe hwake nekudya kumwe.
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
Nokuti munoziva kuti pashurewo, oda kugara nhaka yekuropafadzwa, wakarambwa; nokuti haana kuwana nzvimbo yekutendeuka, kunyange akaitsvaka zvikuru nemisodzi.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
Nokuti hamuna kuuya kugomo ringabatwa, nerinopfuta moto, uye kurima, nekusviba, nekudutu remhepo,
19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
uye kurira kwehwamanda, nenzwi remashoko; iro ivo vakarinzwa vakakumbira kuti shoko rirege kuchitaurwa kwavari;
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
nokuti vakakonewa kutakura icho chakange charairwa, chekuti: Kana kunyange mhuka ikabata gomo, ichatakwa nemabwe, kana kufurwa nemuseve;
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
uye, chakaonekwa chaityisa kudai, Mozisi wakati: Ndinovhunduka, ndinodedera.
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
Asi mauya kugomo reZiyoni, nekuguta raMwari mupenyu, kuJerusarema rekudenga, nekumazana evatumwa vasingaverengeki,
23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
kuungano huru nekereke yematangwe akanyorwa kumatenga, nekuna Mwari mutongi wevese, nekumweya yevakarurama vakapereredzwa,
24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
nekuna Jesu murevereri wesungano itsva, nekuropa rekusasa, rinotaura zvinhu zviri nani pane raAbhero.
25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
Chenjerai kuti murege kuramba uyo anotaura. Nokuti kana vasina kupukunyuka ivo vakaramba iye wakataura panyika zvinobva kuna Mwari, zvikuru sei isu kana tichifuratira iye anobva kumatenga;
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
iye inzwi rake rakazungunusa nyika nguva iyo, asi ikozvino wakavimbisa, achiti: Kamwe chetezve ini ndichazungunusa kwete nyika chete, asi nedenga.
27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Uye izvi zvekuti: Kamwe chetezve, zvinoratidza kutamiswa kwezvinhu zvinozununguka, sezvinhu zvakaitwa, kuti zvisingazungunuki zvigare.
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
Naizvozvo zvatinogamuchira ushe husingazununguswi, ngative nenyasha dzatingashumira nadzo Mwari zvinogamuchirika pamwe nekukudza nekutya Mwari.
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Nokutiwo Mwari wedu moto unoparadza.
