VaRoma 6
1 Zvino tichatiiko? Toramba tichiita zvivi here kuti nyasha dziwande?
What, then, will we say? Will we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 Kwete napaduku pose! Takafa kuzvivi; tingararama sei mazviri zvakare?
Let it not be! We who died to sin—how will we still live in it?
3 Ko, hamuzivi here kuti isu tose vaya vakabhabhatidzwa muna Kristu Jesu takabhabhatidzwa murufu rwake?
Are you ignorant that we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into His death?
4 Naizvozvo takavigwa naye kubudikidza nokubhabhatidzwa murufu kuitira kuti, sokumutswa kwakaitwa Kristu kubva kuvakafa nokubwinya kwaBaba, nesuwo tirarame upenyu hutsva.
We were buried together, then, with Him through the immersion into death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 Nokuti kana takabatanidzwa naye zvakadai murufu rwake, zvirokwazvo tichabatanawo naye mukumuka kwake.
For if we have become planted together to the likeness of His death, [so] we also will be of the 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 was crucified with [Him], that the body of sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving sin,
7 nokuti uyo anenge afa asunungurwa kubva kuchivi.
for he who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Zvino kana takafa naKristu, tinotenda kuti tichararamawo pamwe chete naye.
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also will live with Him,
9 Nokuti sezvo tichiziva kuti Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, haachazofizve; rufu harusisina simba pamusoro pake.
knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, dies no more; death has no more lordship over Him;
10 Rufu rwaakafa, akafa kuchivi kamwe chete zvikabva zvapera; asi upenyu hwaanorarama, anoraramira Mwari.
for in that He died, He died to sin once, and in that He lives, He lives to God;
11 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, nemiwo munofanira kuziva kuti makafa kuchivi, asi muri vapenyu kuna Mwari muna Kristu Jesu.
so also you, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Naizvozvo musatendera chivi kuti chibate ushe mumuviri wenyu unofa, kuti muteerere kuchiva kwacho.
Do not let then sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
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 present your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;
14 Nokuti chivi hachichazovi nesimba pamusoro penyu, nokuti hamusi pasi pomurayiro, asi pasi penyasha.
for sin will not have lordship over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Zvino tichatiiko? Titadze here nokuti hatisi pasi pomurayiro asi pasi penyasha. Kwete napaduku pose!
What then? Will we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be!
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?
Have you not known that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, servants you are to him to whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 Asi Mwari ngaavongwe nokuti, kunyange zvenyu maimbova varanda vechivi, makateerera nomwoyo wenyu wose kurudzi rwedzidziso yamakanga mapiwa.
And thanks to God, that you were servants of sin, and—were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were delivered up;
18 Makasunungurwa kubva kuchivi uye mava varanda vokururama.
and having been freed from sin, you became servants to 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 in a human [way], because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as you presented your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness—to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to righteousness—to sanctification,
20 Pamakanga muri varanda vechivi, makanga makasununguka kubva pakutonga kwakarurama.
for when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 Zvino makawaneiko panguva iyoyo kubva pazvinhu zvamunonyadziswa nazvo, iye zvino? Nokuti kuguma kwazvo ndirwo rufu!
What fruit, therefore, were you having then, in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those [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)
And now, having been freed from sin, and having become servants to God, you have your fruit—to sanctification, and the end continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
