VaRoma 6
1 Zvino tichatiiko? Toramba tichiita zvivi here kuti nyasha dziwande?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that favour may abound?
2 Kwete napaduku pose! Takafa kuzvivi; tingararama sei mazviri zvakare?
By no means. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Ko, hamuzivi here kuti isu tose vaya vakabhabhatidzwa muna Kristu Jesu takabhabhatidzwa murufu rwake?
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Yahushua the Messiah were baptized into his death?
4 Naizvozvo takavigwa naye kubudikidza nokubhabhatidzwa murufu kuitira kuti, sokumutswa kwakaitwa Kristu kubva kuvakafa nokubwinya kwaBaba, nesuwo tirarame upenyu hutsva.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as the Messiah was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 Nokuti kana takabatanidzwa naye zvakadai murufu rwake, zvirokwazvo tichabatanawo naye mukumuka kwake.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Nokuti tinoziva kuti munhu wedu wakare akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe chete naye kuti muviri wechivi ushayiswe simba, kuti tirege kuvazve varanda vechivi,
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 nokuti uyo anenge afa asunungurwa kubva kuchivi.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Zvino kana takafa naKristu, tinotenda kuti tichararamawo pamwe chete naye.
Now if we be dead with the Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Nokuti sezvo tichiziva kuti Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, haachazofizve; rufu harusisina simba pamusoro pake.
Knowing that the Messiah being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 Rufu rwaakafa, akafa kuchivi kamwe chete zvikabva zvapera; asi upenyu hwaanorarama, anoraramira Mwari.
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto YHWH.
11 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, nemiwo munofanira kuziva kuti makafa kuchivi, asi muri vapenyu kuna Mwari muna Kristu Jesu.
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto YHWH through Yahushua the Messiah our Saviour.
12 Naizvozvo musatendera chivi kuti chibate ushe mumuviri wenyu unofa, kuti muteerere kuchiva kwacho.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Musapa mitezo yomuviri wenyu kuchivi, kuti ive nhumbi dzokuita zvisakarurama, asi zvipei kuna Mwari, savaya vakabviswa kurufu vachiiswa kuupenyu; uye ipai mitezo yomuviri wenyu kwaari ive nhumbi dzokururama.
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto YHWH, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto YHWH.
14 Nokuti chivi hachichazovi nesimba pamusoro penyu, nokuti hamusi pasi pomurayiro, asi pasi penyasha.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under favour.
15 Zvino tichatiiko? Titadze here nokuti hatisi pasi pomurayiro asi pasi penyasha. Kwete napaduku pose!
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under favour? By no means.
16 Hamuzivi here kuti kana mukazvipa kuno mumwe munhu kuti mumuteerere savaranda, muri varanda kuno uyo wamunoteerera, mungava varanda vechivi, chinoendesa kurufu kana vokuteerera, kunoendesa kukururama?
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 Asi Mwari ngaavongwe nokuti, kunyange zvenyu maimbova varanda vechivi, makateerera nomwoyo wenyu wose kurudzi rwedzidziso yamakanga mapiwa.
But YHWH be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Makasunungurwa kubva kuchivi uye mava varanda vokururama.
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 Ndinotaura izvi nokutaura kwavanhu nokuda kwokushayiwa simba kwenyama yenyu. Sezvamaingopa mitezo yemiviri yenyu kuuranda hwokusachena uye nokuipa kunoramba kuchingowanda, saka zvino ipei kuuranda hwokururama hunoendesa kuutsvene.
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 Pamakanga muri varanda vechivi, makanga makasununguka kubva pakutonga kwakarurama.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 Zvino makawaneiko panguva iyoyo kubva pazvinhu zvamunonyadziswa nazvo, iye zvino? Nokuti kuguma kwazvo ndirwo rufu!
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 Asi zvino makasunungurwa kubva kuchivi uye mava varanda vaMwari, zvibereko zvamunokohwa zvinoisa kuutsvene, uye kuguma kwazvo ndihwo upenyu husingaperi muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu. (aiōnios g166)
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to YHWH, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
