VaRoma 6
1 Zvino tichatiiko? Toramba tichiita zvivi here kuti nyasha dziwande?
What shall we then say? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Kwete napaduku pose! Takafa kuzvivi; tingararama sei mazviri zvakare?
Far be it: for if we are persons that have died to sin, how can we again live in it?
3 Ko, hamuzivi here kuti isu tose vaya vakabhabhatidzwa muna Kristu Jesu takabhabhatidzwa murufu rwake?
Or do ye not know, that we who are baptized into Jesus Messiah, are baptized into his death?
4 Naizvozvo takavigwa naye kubudikidza nokubhabhatidzwa murufu kuitira kuti, sokumutswa kwakaitwa Kristu kubva kuvakafa nokubwinya kwaBaba, nesuwo tirarame upenyu hutsva.
For we are buried with him in baptism unto death; that as Jesus Messiah arose from the dead into the glory of his Father, so also we, to walk in a new life.
5 Nokuti kana takabatanidzwa naye zvakadai murufu rwake, zvirokwazvo tichabatanawo naye mukumuka kwake.
For if we have been planted together with him into the likeness of his death, so shall we be also into his resurrection.
6 Nokuti tinoziva kuti munhu wedu wakare akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe chete naye kuti muviri wechivi ushayiswe simba, kuti tirege kuvazve varanda vechivi,
For we know, that our old man is crucified with him; that the body of sin might be abolished, and we be no more servants to sin:
7 nokuti uyo anenge afa asunungurwa kubva kuchivi.
for he that is dead to it, is emancipated from sin.
8 Zvino kana takafa naKristu, tinotenda kuti tichararamawo pamwe chete naye.
If then we are dead with Messiah, let us believe that we shall live with the same Messiah.
9 Nokuti sezvo tichiziva kuti Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, haachazofizve; rufu harusisina simba pamusoro pake.
For we know that Messiah rose from the dead, and no more dieth; death hath no dominion over him.
10 Rufu rwaakafa, akafa kuchivi kamwe chete zvikabva zvapera; asi upenyu hwaanorarama, anoraramira Mwari.
For in dying, he died for sin, once; and in living, he liveth unto God.
11 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, nemiwo munofanira kuziva kuti makafa kuchivi, asi muri vapenyu kuna Mwari muna Kristu Jesu.
So also do ye account yourselves as being dead to sin, and alive to God, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.
12 Naizvozvo musatendera chivi kuti chibate ushe mumuviri wenyu unofa, kuti muteerere kuchiva kwacho.
Therefore let not sin reign in your dead body, so that ye obey its lusts.
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.
And also give not up your members as instruments of evil unto sin, but give up yourselves to God, as those who have been resuscitated from the dead; and let your members be instruments for the righteousness of God.
14 Nokuti chivi hachichazovi nesimba pamusoro penyu, nokuti hamusi pasi pomurayiro, asi pasi penyasha.
And sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
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 grace? Far be it.
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 whomsoever ye give up yourselves to serve in bondage, his servants ye are, whom ye serve; whether it be to sin, or whether it be to righteousness, that ye give ear?
17 Asi Mwari ngaavongwe nokuti, kunyange zvenyu maimbova varanda vechivi, makateerera nomwoyo wenyu wose kurudzi rwedzidziso yamakanga mapiwa.
But thanks be to God, that ye were once the servants of sin but have now from the heart obeyed that form of doctrine to which ye are devoted.
18 Makasunungurwa kubva kuchivi uye mava varanda vokururama.
And when ye were emancipated from sin, ye 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 as among men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.)-As ye once gave up your members to the servitude of pollution and iniquity, so also now give ye up your members to the servitude of righteousness and sanctity.
20 Pamakanga muri varanda vechivi, makanga makasununguka kubva pakutonga kwakarurama.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were emancipated from righteousness.
21 Zvino makawaneiko panguva iyoyo kubva pazvinhu zvamunonyadziswa nazvo, iye zvino? Nokuti kuguma kwazvo ndirwo rufu!
And what harvest had ye then, in that of which ye are now ashamed? For the result thereof 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, as ye have been emancipated from sin, and have become servants to God, your fruits are holy; and the result thereof is life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
