VaGaratia 5
1 Kristu akatisunungura kuti tive vakasununguka. Zvino, mirai nesimba, murege kuzviremedza zvakare nejoko routapwa.
Stand firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ has made us free, and be not held fast again in the yoke of bondage.
2 Batai mashoko angu! Ini, Pauro, ndinokuudzai kuti kana muchidzingiswa, Kristu haachakosheswi kwamuri napaduku.
Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 Uyezve, ndinotaura kumunhu wose anoda kudzingiswa kuti anofanira kuteerera murayiro wose.
I testify indeed again to every man that is circumcised, that he is bound to do the whole law.
4 Imi munoedza kururamisirwa nomurayiro makaparadzaniswa naKristu; makabva panyasha.
You that are justified by law, have withdrawn from Christ: you have fallen from grace.
5 Asi nokutenda tinoshinga kwazvo kumirira kururama, kunova ndiko kwatine tariro nako kubudikidza noMweya.
For we, through the Spirit which we obtain by faith, wait for the hope of righteousness.
6 Nokuti muna Kristu Jesu kudzingiswa kana kusadzingiswa hazvina maturo. Chinhu chinokosha chete ndiko kutenda kunozviratidza kubudikidza norudo.
For, in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith that works by love.
7 Makanga muchimhanya nhangemutange yakanaka. Ndianiko akakudzivisai uye akakukonesai kuteerera chokwadi?
You were running well; who kept you back from obedience to the truth?
8 Kugombedzera ikoko hakuna kubva kuna iye anokudanai.
This readiness to be persuaded is not from him that calls you.
9 Mbiriso shoma inovirisa chikanyiwa chose chakakanyiwa.
A little leaven leavens the whole mass.
10 Ndinovimba muna She kuti hamuchazogamuchiri dzimwe pfungwa. Iyeye anokunyonganisai achazviripira mhaka yake, angava ani zvake.
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will cultivate no other disposition: but he that troubles you, who ever he may be, shall bear his condemnation.
11 Hama dzangu, kana ndichiri kuparidza nezvokudzingiswa, ko, ndichiri kutambudzirwei hangu? Naizvozvo kugumbusa kwomuchinjikwa kwabviswa.
But, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then, the offense of the cross has ceased.
12 Kana vari vaya vanokukuchidzirai, ndaida hangu kuti vazvigure zvinhu zvavo.
that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!
13 Imi, hama dzangu, makadanwa kuti muve vakasununguka. Asi regai kushandisa rusununguko rwenyu munyama; asi shandiranai murudo.
For you have been called to freedom, brethren: only use not your freedom as an occasion for the flesh, but become servants to one another, through love.
14 Murayiro wose unobatanidzwa mumurayiro mumwe chete unoti: “Ude wokwako sezvaunozvida iwe.”
For all the law is fulfilled in one commandment, in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
15 Kana muchiramba muchirumana uye nokudyana, chenjererai kuti murege kuparadzana mumwe nomumwe wenyu.
But if you bite and devour one another, take heed lest you be utterly destroyed by one another.
16 Saka ndinoti, raramai noMweya, uye hamungazofadzi nyama nokuchiva kwayo.
I say this: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.
17 Nokuti nyama inoshuva zvinopesana noMweya, uye Mweya anopesanawo nezvinoshuviwa nenyama. Izvi zvinorwisana pachazvo, kuti murege kuita zvamunoda.
For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit is against flesh; and these are opposed, the one to the other, so that you can not do what you would.
18 Asi kana muchitungamirirwa noMweya, hamusi pasi pomurayiro.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19 Mabasa enyama ndiwo aya: upombwe, tsvina, utere;
Now the works of the flesh are well known, and they are these―lewdness, uncleanness, wantonness,
20 kunamata zvifananidzo, uroyi, ruvengo, gakava, godo, kutsamwa, kuzvikudza, kuparadzana, dzidziso dzakatsauka
idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strifes, jealousies, anger, party-spirit, divisions, sects,
21 nokugodorana; kudhakwa, kutamba kwakaipa, nezvimwe zvakadaro. Ndinokuyambirai, sezvandakamboita kare kuti avo vana mararamiro iwaya havangagari nhaka youmambo hwaMwari.
envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; with respect to which, I tell you now, as I also told you in times past, that those who practice such things shall riot inherit the kingdom of God.
22 Asi chibereko choMweya ndirwo rudo, mufaro, rugare, mwoyo murefu, unyoro, kunaka, kutendeka,
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 kupfava uye kuzvidzora. Hakuna murayiro unopesana nezvizvi.
meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
24 Avo vari vaKristu Jesu vakaroverera pamuchinjikwa nyama nokuchiva kwayo uye nezvainoshuva.
Now those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 Sezvo tichirarama noMweya, ngatifambei noMweya.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Ngatiregei kuzvikudza, tichitsamwisana kana kuchiva zvevamwe.
Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
