Hebrews 12
1 Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest 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 the author and perfecter of faith — Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him — did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;
takatarira kuna Jesu, muvambi nemupedzeredzi werutendo, iye nekuda kwemufaro waakaisirwa, wakatsunga pamuchinjikwa, achizvidza kunyadziswa, akagara kuruoko rwerudyi rwechigaro cheushe chaMwari.
3 for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls — being faint.
Nokuti cherekedzai iye wakatsunga pagakava rakadai revatadzi vachimirisana naye, kuti murege kuneta, muchipera simba pamweya yenyu.
4 Not yet unto blood did ye resist — with the sin striving;
Muchigere kupikisa kusvikira muropa muchirwa nechivi;
5 and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, 'My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being 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 doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'
Nokuti Ishe anoranga waanoda, nekushapura mwanakomana umwe neumwe waanogamuchira.
7 if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?
Kana muchitsunga pakurangwa, Mwari anokubatai sevanakomana; nokuti mwanakomana ndeupi baba wavasingarangi?
8 and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
Asi kana musina kurangwa, pavanoitwa vagovani vese, naizvozvo muri vana veupombwe, uye kwete vanakomana.
9 Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising [us], and we were reverencing [them]; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the 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, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;
Nokuti ivo zvimwe vakatiranga kwemazuva mashoma, semaonero avo; asi iye anotirangira kubatsirwa, kuti tigoverane utsvene hwake.
11 and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it — it doth yield.
Zvino kuranga kwese kunoenda pakuvapo hakuratidzi sekwekufadza, asi kwekushungurudza; zvakadaro pashure kunobereka zvibereko zverugare zvakarurama kune vakarovedzwa mazviri.
12 Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up;
Naizvozvo simbisai maoko akaremberera pasi nemabvi asina simba;
13 and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;
uye gadzirirai tsoka dzenyu nzira dzakarurama, kuti icho chinokamhina chirege kushodoka, asi panzvimbo yeizvozvo chiporeswe.
14 peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,
Tevererai rugare nevese, neutsvene, kunze kwezvizvi hakuna munhu achaona Ishe.
15 looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;
Muchichenjerera kuti kurege kuva nemunhu anokundikana panyasha dzaMwari; kuti zvimwe mudzi wekuvava urege kukura kuzopa dambudziko, uye nawo vazhinji vasvibiswe;
16 lest any one be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food did sell his birthright,
ngakurege kuva neumwe anova mhombwe kana asina hanya naMwari, saEsau, wakatengesa udangwe hwake nekudya kumwe.
17 for ye know that also afterwards, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for a place of reformation he found not, though with tears having sought it.
Nokuti munoziva kuti pashurewo, oda kugara nhaka yekuropafadzwa, wakarambwa; nokuti haana kuwana nzvimbo yekutendeuka, kunyange akaitsvaka zvikuru nemisodzi.
18 For ye came not near to the mount touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
Nokuti hamuna kuuya kugomo ringabatwa, nerinopfuta moto, uye kurima, nekusviba, nekudutu remhepo,
19 and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard did entreat that a word might not be added to them,
uye kurira kwehwamanda, nenzwi remashoko; iro ivo vakarinzwa vakakumbira kuti shoko rirege kuchitaurwa kwavari;
20 for they were not bearing that which is commanded, 'And if a beast may touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or with an arrow shot through,'
nokuti vakakonewa kutakura icho chakange charairwa, chekuti: Kana kunyange mhuka ikabata gomo, ichatakwa nemabwe, kana kufurwa nemuseve;
21 and, (so terrible was the sight, ) Moses said, 'I am fearful exceedingly, and trembling.'
uye, chakaonekwa chaityisa kudai, Mozisi wakati: Ndinovhunduka, ndinodedera.
22 But, ye came to Mount Zion, and to a city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,
Asi mauya kugomo reZiyoni, nekuguta raMwari mupenyu, kuJerusarema rekudenga, nekumazana evatumwa vasingaverengeki,
23 to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,
kuungano huru nekereke yematangwe akanyorwa kumatenga, nekuna Mwari mutongi wevese, nekumweya yevakarurama vakapereredzwa,
24 and to a mediator of a new covenant — Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!
nekuna Jesu murevereri wesungano itsva, nekuropa rekusasa, rinotaura zvinhu zviri nani pane raAbhero.
25 See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking — much less we who do turn away from him who [speaketh] 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 the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, 'Yet once — I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;'
iye inzwi rake rakazungunusa nyika nguva iyo, asi ikozvino wakavimbisa, achiti: Kamwe chetezve ini ndichazungunusa kwete nyika chete, asi nedenga.
27 and this — 'Yet once' — doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;
Uye izvi zvekuti: Kamwe chetezve, zvinoratidza kutamiswa kwezvinhu zvinozununguka, sezvinhu zvakaitwa, kuti zvisingazungunuki zvigare.
28 wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear;
Naizvozvo zvatinogamuchira ushe husingazununguswi, ngative nenyasha dzatingashumira nadzo Mwari zvinogamuchirika pamwe nekukudza nekutya Mwari.
29 for also our God [is] a consuming fire.
Nokutiwo Mwari wedu moto unoparadza.
