KwabaseGalathiya 3
1 Hawu maGalathiya ayizithutha, ngubani oliloyileyo ukuze lingalaleli iqiniso, lina abekwa obala phambi kwamehlo enu uJesu Kristu, ebethelwe phakathi kwenu?
Imi vaGaratia vokusafunga! Ndianiko akakuroyai? Jesu akaratidzwa pachena akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamberi penyu chaipo.
2 Yilokhu kuphela engithanda ukukufunda kini ukuthi: Lemukela uMoya ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini, loba ngokuzwa kokholo?
Ndinoda kuziva chinhu chimwe chete kubva kwamuri kuti: Makagamuchira Mweya nokuda kwokuchengeta murayiro here, kana nokuda kwokutenda zvamakanzwa?
3 Kanti liyizithutha kangaka? Liqale ngoMoya selipheleliswa ngenyama yini?
Muri vokusafunga zvakadai seiko? Mushure mokunge mambotanga muMweya, zvino moda kuedza kupedzisa chinangwa chenyu nesimba ravanhu here?
4 Lahlupheka izinto ezinengi kangaka ngeze yini? Uba-ke ngitsho ngeze.
Makatambudzika zvakadai pasina here, kana zvechokwadi zvakanga zviri pasina?
5 Ngakho yena olinika uMoya losebenza imisebenzi yamandla phakathi kwenu, kungaba ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini, kumbe ngokuzwa kokholo?
Ko, Mwari anokupai Mweya wake uye achiita zvishamiso pakati penyu nokuda kwokuti munochengeta murayiro here, kana kuti nokuda kwokutenda zvamakanzwa?
6 NjengoAbrahama wakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa-ke kuye ukuthi yikulunga.
Fungai Abhurahama kuti, “Akatenda Mwari, uye zvikanzi kwaari ndiko kururama.”
7 Ngakho liyazi ukuthi labo abangabokholo, bona bangabantwana bakaAbrahama.
Nzwisisai zvino, kuti avo vanotenda ndivo vana vaAbhurahama.
8 Lombhalo, ubona ngaphambili ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulungisisa abezizwe ngokholo, watshumayela ivangeli ngaphambili kuAbrahama wathi: Izizwe zonke zizabusiswa kuwe.
Rugwaro rwakaona zviri mberi kuti Mwari aizoruramisa veDzimwe Ndudzi nokutenda, uye rukazivisa zvevhangeri kare kuna Abhurahama kuti, “Ndudzi dzose dzicharopafadzwa kubudikidza newe.”
9 Ngakho abangabokholo babusiswa kanye loAbrahama okholwayo.
Saka avo vanokutenda ndivo vakaropafadzwa pamwe chete naAbhurahama, murume wokutenda.
10 Ngoba bonke abemisebenzi yomlayo bangaphansi kwesiqalekiso; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke ongaqhubeki kukho konke okulotshiweyo encwadini yomlayo ukukwenza.
Vose vanovimba nokuchengeta murayiro vakatukwa, nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Vakatukwa vose vasingarambiri pakuita zvinhu zvose zvakanyorwa muBhuku roMurayiro.”
11 Kodwa kusobala ukuthi ngomlayo kakulamuntu olungisiswayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ngoba: Olungileyo uzaphila ngokholo;
Zviri pachena kuti hapana munhu anoruramisirwa nomurayiro pamberi paMwari, nokuti, “Vakarurama vachararama nokutenda.”
12 kodwa umlayo kawusiwo wokholo, kodwa kuthiwa: Umuntu owenza lezizinto uzaphila kuzo.
Murayiro hauna kuvakwa pakutenda; asi hazvo, “Munhu anoita zvinhu izvi achararama nazvo.”
13 UKristu wasihlenga kusiqalekiso somlayo, esenziwe waba yisiqalekiso esikhundleni sethu; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke olenga esihlahleni;
Kristu akatidzikinura kubva pakutukwa kwomurayiro paakava chakatukwa iye nokuda kwedu, nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Vakatukwa vose vanoturikwa pamuti.”
14 ukuze kuthi isibusiso sikaAbrahama sifike kwabezizwe ngoKristu Jesu, ukuze semukele isithembiso sikaMoya ngokholo.
Akatidzikinura kuitira kuti kuropafadzwa kwakapiwa Abhurahama kugosvika kune veDzimwe Ndudzi kubudikidza naKristu Jesu, kuitira kuti nokutenda tigogamuchira chipikirwa choMweya.
15 Bazalwane, ngikhuluma njengokomuntu; ngitsho isivumelwano somuntu esiqinisiweyo, kakho osichithayo loba osengezelelayo.
Hama dzangu, regai ndipe muenzaniso woupenyu hwamazuva ose. Sezvo pasina munhu angakonesa kana kuwedzera kusungano yakaitwa navanhu kana yakatosimbiswa, zvakadarowo pane izvozvi.
16 Njalo izithembiso zakhulunywa kuAbrahama lenzalweni yakhe. Katsho ukuthi: Lezinzalweni, njengokungathi zinengi, kodwa njengokungathi ngeyodwa ukuthi: Lenzalweni yakho, enguKristu.
Zvipikirwa zvakataurwa kuna Abhurahama uye nokumwana wake. Rugwaro harutauri ruchiti “uye kuvana,” zvichireva vanhu vazhinji, asi “uye kumwana wako,” kureva munhu mumwe, anova ndiye Kristu.
17 Lalokho ngiyakutsho: Umlayo oweza emva kweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu kawusesuli isivumelwano esaqiniswa nguNkulunkulu kuKristu ngaphambili, ukuze usenze isithembiso sibe yize.
Zvandinoreva ndezvizvi: Murayiro, wakaziviswa mushure mamakore mazana mana ana makumi matatu, haungakonesi sungano yakasimbiswa kare naMwari uye nokudaro uchibvisa chipikirwa.
18 Ngoba uba ilifa livela emlayweni, alisaveli esithembisweni; kodwa uNkulunkulu walinika uAbrahama ngesithembiso.
Nokuti kana nhaka ichiwanikwa nokuda kwomurayiro, naizvozvo haichawanikwi nokuda kwechipikirwa; asi Mwari nenyasha dzake akaipa kuna Abhurahama kubudikidza nechipikirwa.
19 Pho, umlayo uyini? Wengezwa ngenxa yeziphambeko, kuze kufike inzalo eyanikwa isithembiso; wamiswa ngezingilosi esandleni somlamuli.
Zvino, chinangwa chomurayiro chakanga chiri cheiko? Wakawedzerwa nokuda kwokudarika kusvikira Mwana akanga achirehwa nechivimbiso asvika. Murayiro wakashanda kubudikidza navatumwa uye nomurevereri.
20 Kodwa umlamuli kayisuye woyedwa, kodwa uNkulunkulu munye.
Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, murevereri, haamiririri munhu mumwe chete; asi Mwari ndomumwe.
21 Pho umlayo uphambene lezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu yini? Phinde! Ngoba uba wawunikiwe umlayo olamandla okuphilisa, isibili ukulunga ngabe kuvela ngomlayo.
Naizvozvo, murayiro unopikisana nechipikirwa chaMwari here? Kwete napaduku! Nokuti kana murayiro wakapiwa wakanga uchigona kupa upenyu, ipapo zvirokwazvo kururama kwaizouyawo nomurayiro.
22 Kodwa umbhalo uvalele konke ngaphansi kwesono, ukuze isithembiso ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu siphiwe abakholwayo.
Asi Rugwaro runotaura kuti nyika yose yakapfigirwa nechivi, kuitira kuti chiya chakavimbiswa, chiri chakapiwa kubudikidza nokutenda kuna Jesu Kristu, chipiwe kuna avo vanotenda.
23 Kodwa kungakafiki ukholo, sasilondolozwe ngaphansi komlayo, sivalelwe kuze kube sekholweni obeluzakwembulwa.
Kutenda uku kusati kwasvika, takanga tiri vasungwa vomurayiro, takapfigirwa kusvikira kutenda kuchizoratidzwa.
24 Ngakho umlayo wawungumeluleki wethu kuKristu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokholo;
Saka murayiro wakaiswa kuti utitungamirire kuna Kristu kuitira kuti tigoruramisirwa nokutenda.
25 kodwa selufikile ukholo, kasisekho ngaphansi kukameluleki.
Zvino kutenda zvakwasvika, hatichisiri pasi pomurayiro.
26 Ngoba lonke lingabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ngokholo kuKristu Jesu.
Imi mose muri vanakomana vaMwari kubudikidza nokutenda muna Kristu Jesu,
27 Ngoba lonke elabhabhathizelwa kuKristu, lembethe uKristu;
nokuti imi mose makabhabhatidzwa muna Kristu makapfeka Kristu.
28 kakukho umJuda lomGriki, kakukho obotshiweyo lokhululekileyo, kakukho owesilisa lowesifazana; ngoba lina lonke limunye kuKristu Jesu.
Hakuchina muJudha kana muGiriki, mutapwa kana akasununguka, murume kana mukadzi, nokuti imi mose muri vamwe muna Kristu Jesu.
29 Uba-ke lingabakaKristu, ngakho liyinzalo kaAbrahama, njalo liyizindlalifa njengokwesithembiso.
Kana muri vaKristu, ipapo muri vana vaAbhurahama, uye vadyi venhaka maererano nechipikirwa.
