Galatians 3
1 O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth — before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?
Haiwa VaGaratia matununu, ndiani wakakuroyai kuti murege kuteerera chokwadi, imwi makaratidzwa Jesu Kristu pachena pamberi pemeso, akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pakati penyu?
2 this only do I wish to learn from you — by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?
Ndichochi chete chandinoda kudzidza kwamuri chekuti: Makagamuchira Mweya nemabasa emurairo here, kana nekunzwa kwerutendo?
3 so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end?
Ko muri matununu akadai? Makatanga muMweya, zvino mopedzisa munyama here?
4 so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.
Makatambudzika zvikuru zvakadai pasina here? Zvakadaro pasinawo!
5 He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you — by works of law or by the hearing of faith [is it]?
Naizvozvo iye anokupai Mweya neanoita mabasa esimba pakati penyu, anozviita nemabasa emurairo here, kana nekunzwa kwerutendo?
6 according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;
Abhurahama sezvaakatenda Mwari, zvikaverengwawo kwaari kuti kururama.
7 know ye, then, that those of faith — these are sons of Abraham,
Naizvozvo munoziva kuti avo verutendo, ndivo vana vaAbhurahama.
8 and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham —
Nerugwaro, rwaona zviri mberi kuti Mwari anoti vahedheni vakarurama kubudikidza nerutendo, rwakagara rwaparidza evhangeri kuna Abhurahama, ruchiti: Mauri marudzi ese acharopafadzwa.
9 'Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,
Naizvozvo verutendo vanoropafadzwa pamwe naAbhurahama wakatenda.
10 for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed [is] every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law — to do them,'
Nokuti vese vemabasa emurairo vari pasi pekutukwa; nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Wakatukwa wese asingarambiri pazvese zvakanyorwa mubuku yemurairo kuti azviite.
11 and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;'
Asi zviri pachena kuti hakuna munhu anonzi wakarurama nemurairo pamberi paMwari, nokuti kunonzi: Wakarurama achararama nerutendo.
12 and the law is not by faith, but — 'The man who did them shall live in them.'
Zvino murairo haubvi parutendo, asi zvinonzi: Munhu anoita zvinhu izvi achararama mazviri.
13 Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'
Kristu wakatidzikunura pachakatukwa chemurairo, aitirwa chakatukwa isu, nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Wakatukwa wese wakaremberera pamuti;
14 that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.
kuti ropafadzo yaAbhurahama isvike kuvahedheni muna Kristu Jesu, kuti tigamuchire nerutendo chivimbiso cheMweya.
15 Brethren, as a man I say [it], even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,
Hama, ndinotaura nemutoo wevanhu; kunyange sungano yevanhu yasimbiswa, hakuna munhu anoikonesa kana kuwedzera kwairi.
16 and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which 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 and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void 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 by law [be] the inheritance, [it is] no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant [it].
Nokuti kana nhaka ichibva kumurairo, haichabvi kuchivimbiso; asi Mwari wakapa pachena Abhurahama nechivimbiso.
19 Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator —
Ko murairo chii? Wakawedzerwa nekuda kwekudarika, kusvikira mbeu yasvika yakaitirwa chivimbiso; wakagadzwa nevatumwa muruoko rwemurevereri.
20 and the mediator is not of one, and God is one —
Asi murevereri haasi weumwe, asi Mwari ndeumwe.
21 the law, then, [is] against the promises of God? — let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,
Ko murairo unopesana nezvivimbiso zvaMwari here? Ngazvisadaro! Nokuti dai pakange pane murairo wakapiwa unogona kuraramisa, zvirokwazvo kururama kungadai kuchibva kumurairo.
22 but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.
Asi rugwaro rwakapfigira zvese pasi pechivi, kuti chivimbiso chinobva parutendo rwaJesu Kristu chipiwe kune vanotenda.
23 And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,
Asi kusati kwasvika rutendo, taichengetwa pasi pemurairo, takapfigirwa kusvikira kurutendo rwaizozarurwa shure.
24 so that the law became our child-conductor — to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,
Saizvozvo murairo wakange uri murairidzi wedu kuna Kristu, kuti tinzi takarurama nerutendo.
25 and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,
Asi rutendo rwakati rwasvika, hatisisiri pasi pemurairidzi.
26 for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,
Nokuti mese muri vana vaMwari nerutendo muna Kristu Jesu.
27 for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;
Nokuti mese makabhabhatidzwa muna Kristu, makapfeka Kristu.
28 there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are 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 ye [are] of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise — heirs.
Zvino kana imwi muri vanhu vaKristu, saka muri mbeu yaAbhurahama, uye vadyi venhaka maererano nechivimbiso.
