VaGaratia 5
1 Kristu akatisunungura kuti tive vakasununguka. Zvino, mirai nesimba, murege kuzviremedza zvakare nejoko routapwa.
Stand therefore in that liberty with which the Meshiha hath freed you, and be not enthralled with the yoke of bondage.
2 Batai mashoko angu! Ini, Pauro, ndinokuudzai kuti kana muchidzingiswa, Kristu haachakosheswi kwamuri napaduku.
Behold, I, Paulos, tell you, that if you be circumcised, the Meshiha profiteth you nothing.
3 Uyezve, ndinotaura kumunhu wose anoda kudzingiswa kuti anofanira kuteerera murayiro wose.
But I attest again to every man who is circumcised, that he is obligated to fulfil the whole law.
4 Imi munoedza kururamisirwa nomurayiro makaparadzaniswa naKristu; makabva panyasha.
You have ceased from the Meshiha who are justified by the law, and from grace you have fallen.
5 Asi nokutenda tinoshinga kwazvo kumirira kururama, kunova ndiko kwatine tariro nako kubudikidza noMweya.
But we through the Spirit, who is from faith, expect the hope of righteousness.
6 Nokuti muna Kristu Jesu kudzingiswa kana kusadzingiswa hazvina maturo. Chinhu chinokosha chete ndiko kutenda kunozviratidza kubudikidza norudo.
For, in the Meshiha Jeshu, circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which is made perfect by love.
7 Makanga muchimhanya nhangemutange yakanaka. Ndianiko akakudzivisai uye akakukonesai kuteerera chokwadi?
Well did you run; who hath impeded you, that to the truth you should not be in obedience?
8 Kugombedzera ikoko hakuna kubva kuna iye anokudanai.
Your persuasion is not from him who called you.
9 Mbiriso shoma inovirisa chikanyiwa chose chakakanyiwa.
A little leaven the whole mass leaveneth.
10 Ndinovimba muna She kuti hamuchazogamuchiri dzimwe pfungwa. Iyeye anokunyonganisai achazviripira mhaka yake, angava ani zvake.
I am confident of you in our Lord, that no other thing you will think; and he who disturbeth you shall bear judgment, whoever he is.
11 Hama dzangu, kana ndichiri kuparidza nezvokudzingiswa, ko, ndichiri kutambudzirwei hangu? Naizvozvo kugumbusa kwomuchinjikwa kwabviswa.
But I, my brethren, if yet I have preached for circumcision, why have I been persecuted? Hath the scandal of the cross ceased?
12 Kana vari vaya vanokukuchidzirai, ndaida hangu kuti vazvigure zvinhu zvavo.
But I would that they who disturb you were even cut off.
13 Imi, hama dzangu, makadanwa kuti muve vakasununguka. Asi regai kushandisa rusununguko rwenyu munyama; asi shandiranai murudo.
But you have been called unto liberty, my brethren: only let not your liberty be for an occasion of the flesh; but in love be subjected one to another.
14 Murayiro wose unobatanidzwa mumurayiro mumwe chete unoti: “Ude wokwako sezvaunozvida iwe.”
For all the law in one word is fulfilled, in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 Kana muchiramba muchirumana uye nokudyana, chenjererai kuti murege kuparadzana mumwe nomumwe wenyu.
But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest one by another you be consumed.
16 Saka ndinoti, raramai noMweya, uye hamungazofadzi nyama nokuchiva kwayo.
But I say to you, Walk in the Spirit, and the desires of the flesh you will not work.
17 Nokuti nyama inoshuva zvinopesana noMweya, uye Mweya anopesanawo nezvinoshuviwa nenyama. Izvi zvinorwisana pachazvo, kuti murege kuita zvamunoda.
For the flesh desireth that which is repugnant to the Spirit, and the Spirit desireth that which is repugnant to the flesh; and the two are adverse one to the other, that not any thing that you will you may do.
18 Asi kana muchitungamirirwa noMweya, hamusi pasi pomurayiro.
But if by the Spirit you are led, you are not under the law.
19 Mabasa enyama ndiwo aya: upombwe, tsvina, utere;
For the works of the flesh are known, which are (these), fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 kunamata zvifananidzo, uroyi, ruvengo, gakava, godo, kutsamwa, kuzvikudza, kuparadzana, dzidziso dzakatsauka
the worship of idols, sorcery, enmity, contention, ambition, wrath, calumny, divisions, rendings,
21 nokugodorana; kudhakwa, kutamba kwakaipa, nezvimwe zvakadaro. Ndinokuyambirai, sezvandakamboita kare kuti avo vana mararamiro iwaya havangagari nhaka youmambo hwaMwari.
envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all that are like these; and they who do them, as I told you before, so now I tell you, the kingdom of Aloha do not inherit.
22 Asi chibereko choMweya ndirwo rudo, mufaro, rugare, mwoyo murefu, unyoro, kunaka, kutendeka,
But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity,
23 kupfava uye kuzvidzora. Hakuna murayiro unopesana nezvizvi.
meekness, patience; against these the law is not set.
24 Avo vari vaKristu Jesu vakaroverera pamuchinjikwa nyama nokuchiva kwayo uye nezvainoshuva.
But they who are of the Meshiha have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its lusts:
25 Sezvo tichirarama noMweya, ngatifambei noMweya.
live we therefore in the Spirit,
26 Ngatiregei kuzvikudza, tichitsamwisana kana kuchiva zvevamwe.
and let us not be vain-glorious, contemning one another, envying one another.
