KwabaseGalathiya 3
1 Hawu maGalathiya ayizithutha, ngubani oliloyileyo ukuze lingalaleli iqiniso, lina abekwa obala phambi kwamehlo enu uJesu Kristu, ebethelwe phakathi kwenu?
Haiwa VaGaratia matununu, ndiani wakakuroyai kuti murege kuteerera chokwadi, imwi makaratidzwa Jesu Kristu pachena pamberi pemeso, akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pakati penyu?
2 Yilokhu kuphela engithanda ukukufunda kini ukuthi: Lemukela uMoya ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini, loba ngokuzwa kokholo?
Ndichochi chete chandinoda kudzidza kwamuri chekuti: Makagamuchira Mweya nemabasa emurairo here, kana nekunzwa kwerutendo?
3 Kanti liyizithutha kangaka? Liqale ngoMoya selipheleliswa ngenyama yini?
Ko muri matununu akadai? Makatanga muMweya, zvino mopedzisa munyama here?
4 Lahlupheka izinto ezinengi kangaka ngeze yini? Uba-ke ngitsho ngeze.
Makatambudzika zvikuru zvakadai pasina here? Zvakadaro pasinawo!
5 Ngakho yena olinika uMoya losebenza imisebenzi yamandla phakathi kwenu, kungaba ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini, kumbe ngokuzwa kokholo?
Naizvozvo iye anokupai Mweya neanoita mabasa esimba pakati penyu, anozviita nemabasa emurairo here, kana nekunzwa kwerutendo?
6 NjengoAbrahama wakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa-ke kuye ukuthi yikulunga.
Abhurahama sezvaakatenda Mwari, zvikaverengwawo kwaari kuti kururama.
7 Ngakho liyazi ukuthi labo abangabokholo, bona bangabantwana bakaAbrahama.
Naizvozvo munoziva kuti avo verutendo, ndivo vana vaAbhurahama.
8 Lombhalo, ubona ngaphambili ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulungisisa abezizwe ngokholo, watshumayela ivangeli ngaphambili kuAbrahama wathi: Izizwe zonke zizabusiswa kuwe.
Nerugwaro, rwaona zviri mberi kuti Mwari anoti vahedheni vakarurama kubudikidza nerutendo, rwakagara rwaparidza evhangeri kuna Abhurahama, ruchiti: Mauri marudzi ese acharopafadzwa.
9 Ngakho abangabokholo babusiswa kanye loAbrahama okholwayo.
Naizvozvo verutendo vanoropafadzwa pamwe naAbhurahama wakatenda.
10 Ngoba bonke abemisebenzi yomlayo bangaphansi kwesiqalekiso; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke ongaqhubeki kukho konke okulotshiweyo encwadini yomlayo ukukwenza.
Nokuti vese vemabasa emurairo vari pasi pekutukwa; nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Wakatukwa wese asingarambiri pazvese zvakanyorwa mubuku yemurairo kuti azviite.
11 Kodwa kusobala ukuthi ngomlayo kakulamuntu olungisiswayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ngoba: Olungileyo uzaphila ngokholo;
Asi zviri pachena kuti hakuna munhu anonzi wakarurama nemurairo pamberi paMwari, nokuti kunonzi: Wakarurama achararama nerutendo.
12 kodwa umlayo kawusiwo wokholo, kodwa kuthiwa: Umuntu owenza lezizinto uzaphila kuzo.
Zvino murairo haubvi parutendo, asi zvinonzi: Munhu anoita zvinhu izvi achararama mazviri.
13 UKristu wasihlenga kusiqalekiso somlayo, esenziwe waba yisiqalekiso esikhundleni sethu; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke olenga esihlahleni;
Kristu wakatidzikunura pachakatukwa chemurairo, aitirwa chakatukwa isu, nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Wakatukwa wese wakaremberera pamuti;
14 ukuze kuthi isibusiso sikaAbrahama sifike kwabezizwe ngoKristu Jesu, ukuze semukele isithembiso sikaMoya ngokholo.
kuti ropafadzo yaAbhurahama isvike kuvahedheni muna Kristu Jesu, kuti tigamuchire nerutendo chivimbiso cheMweya.
15 Bazalwane, ngikhuluma njengokomuntu; ngitsho isivumelwano somuntu esiqinisiweyo, kakho osichithayo loba osengezelelayo.
Hama, ndinotaura nemutoo wevanhu; kunyange sungano yevanhu yasimbiswa, hakuna munhu anoikonesa kana kuwedzera kwairi.
16 Njalo izithembiso zakhulunywa kuAbrahama lenzalweni yakhe. Katsho ukuthi: Lezinzalweni, njengokungathi zinengi, kodwa njengokungathi ngeyodwa ukuthi: Lenzalweni yakho, enguKristu.
Zvino zvivimbiso zvakataurwa kuna Abhurahama nekumbeu yake. Haarevi achiti: Nekumbeu dzako, sevanenge vazhinji, asi saanenge ari mumwe, anoti: Nekumbeu yako; inova Kristu.
17 Lalokho ngiyakutsho: Umlayo oweza emva kweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu kawusesuli isivumelwano esaqiniswa nguNkulunkulu kuKristu ngaphambili, ukuze usenze isithembiso sibe yize.
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 Ngoba uba ilifa livela emlayweni, alisaveli esithembisweni; kodwa uNkulunkulu walinika uAbrahama ngesithembiso.
Nokuti kana nhaka ichibva kumurairo, haichabvi kuchivimbiso; asi Mwari wakapa pachena Abhurahama nechivimbiso.
19 Pho, umlayo uyini? Wengezwa ngenxa yeziphambeko, kuze kufike inzalo eyanikwa isithembiso; wamiswa ngezingilosi esandleni somlamuli.
Ko murairo chii? Wakawedzerwa nekuda kwekudarika, kusvikira mbeu yasvika yakaitirwa chivimbiso; wakagadzwa nevatumwa muruoko rwemurevereri.
20 Kodwa umlamuli kayisuye woyedwa, kodwa uNkulunkulu munye.
Asi murevereri haasi weumwe, asi Mwari ndeumwe.
21 Pho umlayo uphambene lezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu yini? Phinde! Ngoba uba wawunikiwe umlayo olamandla okuphilisa, isibili ukulunga ngabe kuvela ngomlayo.
Ko murairo unopesana nezvivimbiso zvaMwari here? Ngazvisadaro! Nokuti dai pakange pane murairo wakapiwa unogona kuraramisa, zvirokwazvo kururama kungadai kuchibva kumurairo.
22 Kodwa umbhalo uvalele konke ngaphansi kwesono, ukuze isithembiso ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu siphiwe abakholwayo.
Asi rugwaro rwakapfigira zvese pasi pechivi, kuti chivimbiso chinobva parutendo rwaJesu Kristu chipiwe kune vanotenda.
23 Kodwa kungakafiki ukholo, sasilondolozwe ngaphansi komlayo, sivalelwe kuze kube sekholweni obeluzakwembulwa.
Asi kusati kwasvika rutendo, taichengetwa pasi pemurairo, takapfigirwa kusvikira kurutendo rwaizozarurwa shure.
24 Ngakho umlayo wawungumeluleki wethu kuKristu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokholo;
Saizvozvo murairo wakange uri murairidzi wedu kuna Kristu, kuti tinzi takarurama nerutendo.
25 kodwa selufikile ukholo, kasisekho ngaphansi kukameluleki.
Asi rutendo rwakati rwasvika, hatisisiri pasi pemurairidzi.
26 Ngoba lonke lingabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ngokholo kuKristu Jesu.
Nokuti mese muri vana vaMwari nerutendo muna Kristu Jesu.
27 Ngoba lonke elabhabhathizelwa kuKristu, lembethe uKristu;
Nokuti mese makabhabhatidzwa muna Kristu, makapfeka Kristu.
28 kakukho umJuda lomGriki, kakukho obotshiweyo lokhululekileyo, kakukho owesilisa lowesifazana; ngoba lina lonke limunye kuKristu Jesu.
Hakuna muJudha kana muGiriki, hakuna wakasungwa kana wakasununguka, hakuna munhurume nemunhukadzi; nokuti imwi mese muri vamwe muna Kristu Jesu.
29 Uba-ke lingabakaKristu, ngakho liyinzalo kaAbrahama, njalo liyizindlalifa njengokwesithembiso.
Zvino kana imwi muri vanhu vaKristu, saka muri mbeu yaAbhurahama, uye vadyi venhaka maererano nechivimbiso.
