VaRoma 3
1 Ko, muJudha anopfuura vamwe pakudii, uye kudzingiswa kunobatsireiko?
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?
2 Zvizhinji nemitoo yose! Pakutanga, ndivo vakapiwa mashoko aMwari chaiwo.
Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.
3 Ko, kana vamwe vasina kutenda? Kusatenda kwavo kungakonesa kutendeka kwaMwari here?
For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?
4 Kwete, kwete! Mwari ngaave wechokwadi, asi vanhu vose vave venhema. Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Kuitira kuti munzi makarurama pamunotaura, uye mukunde pakutonga kwenyu.”
God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.
5 Asi kana kusarurama kwedu kuchiratidza kururama kwaMwari zvinonyatsoonekwa, tichatiiko? Kuti Mwari haana kururama here kana achiisa hasha dzake pamusoro pedu? (Ndiri kutaura namatauriro avanhu).
But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)
6 Kwete kwete! Dai zvanga zviri izvo, Mwari aizotonga nyika seiko?
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 Mumwe anogona kuti, “Zvino kana nhema dzangu dzichiita kuti chokwadi chaMwari chionekwe uye zvichizowedzera kukudzwa kwake, ko, sei ndichizotongwa somutadzi?”
But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
8 Ticharegerereiko kutaura sezvatinopomerwa, uye sezvinoreva vamwe vachiti tinoti, “Ngatiitei zvakaipa kuti zvakanaka zvibudepo”? Kutongwa kwavo kwakavafanira.
and why not (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.
9 Zvino tichatiiko? Tinovapfuura here? Kwete napaduku pose! Nokuti tambopa vose mhosva, vaJudha neveDzimwe Ndudzi, yokuva pasi pechivi.
What then? are we in worse case than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;
10 Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Hakuna akarurama, kunyange nomumwe;
as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 hakuna anonzwisisa, hakuna anotsvaka Mwari.
There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;
12 Vose vakatsauka, vose pamwe chete vakava vasina maturo; hakuna kana mumwe anoita zvakanaka, kana mumwe zvake.”
They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one:
13 “Huro dzavo makuva akashama; ndimi dzavo dzinotaura unyengeri.” “Uturu hwenyoka huri pamiromo yavo.”
Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:
14 “Miromo yavo izere nokutuka nokuvava.”
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 “Tsoka dzavo dzinokurumidza kuteura ropa;
Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 kuparadza nenhamo zviri panzira dzavo,
Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 Uye nzira yorugare havaizivi.”
And the way of peace have they not known:
18 “Kutya Mwari hakupo pamberi pavo.”
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Zvino tinoziva kuti zvose zvinorehwa nomurayiro, unozvitaura kuna avo vari pasi pomurayiro, kuitira kuti miromo yose ishayiswe chokutaura uye kuti nyika yose ive nemhosva pamberi paMwari.
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:
20 Naizvozvo hapana achanzi akarurama pamberi pake nokuda kwokuchengeta murayiro; asi kuti, kubudikidza nomurayiro tichaziviswa chivi.
because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for through the law [cometh] the knowledge of sin.
21 Asi zvino kururama kwaMwari, kwakaratidzwa kunze kwomurayiro, kuchipupurirwa nomurayiro navaprofita.
But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Kururama uku kunobva kuna Mwari kunouya kubudikidza nokutenda muna Jesu Kristu kuna vose vanotenda. Hapana musiyano,
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;
23 nokuti vose vakatadza uye vakasasvika pakubwinya kwaMwari,
for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
24 uye vanoruramisirwa nenyasha dzake kubudikidza nokudzikinura kuri muna Kristu Jesu.
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Mwari akamupa iye sechibayiro chokuyananisa kubudikidza nokutenda muropa rake. Akaita izvi kuti aratidze kururamisira kwake, nokuti mukuita mwoyo murefu kwake akaregerera hake zvivi zvakaitwa kare.
whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, by his blood, to shew his righteousness, because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;
26 Akazviita kuti aratidze kururamisira kwake panguva ino, kuitira kuti ave akarurama uye anoruramisira vaya vanotenda muna Jesu.
for the shewing, [I say], of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.
27 Zvino kuzvikudza kuripiko? Kwabviswa. Nomurayiro upiko? Wokuchengetedza murayiro here? Kwete, asi nomurayiro wokutenda.
Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.
28 Naizvozvo tinomira pakuti munhu anoruramisirwa nokutenda kwete nokuchengeta murayiro.
We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29 Ko, Mwari ndiMwari wavaJudha voga here? Ko, haazi Mwari weveDzimwe Ndudziwo here? Hongu ndoweveDzimwe Ndudziwo,
Or is God [the God] of Jews only? is he not [the God] of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also:
30 sezvo kuna Mwari mumwe chete uyo acharuramisira vakadzingiswa nokutenda uye vasina kudzingiswa kubudikidza nokutenda kumwe cheteko.
if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.
31 Zvino tinobvisa murayiro nokutenda uku here? Kwete napaduku! Asi, tinosimbisa murayiro.
Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.
