VaRoma 7
1 Hamuzivi here, hama, nokuti ndiri kutaura kuvanhu vanoziva murayiro, kuti murayiro une simba pamusoro pomunhu panguva yose yaanenge ari mupenyu chete?
BUT know you not, my brethren, for to those who know the law I speak, that the law has authority over a man as long as he liveth?
2 Somuenzaniso, mukadzi akawanikwa akasungwa nomurayiro kumurume wake panguva yose iyo murume wake anenge ari mupenyu, asi kana murume wake afa, anosunungurwa kubva pamurayiro wewaniso.
as a woman who is bound in law to her husband as long as he liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is freed from the law of her husband.
3 Saka zvino, kana akawanikwa nomumwe murume, murume wake achiri mupenyu, anonzi chifeve. Asi kana murume achinge afa, asunungurwa kubva pamurayiro, uye haazi chifeve, kunyange zvake akawanikwa nomumwe murume.
But if, while her husband lives, she adhere to another man, she becometh an adulteress; but if her husband shall die, she is freed from the law, and is not an adulteress, though she become (the wife) of another man.
4 Saka, hama dzangu, nemiwo makafa kumurayiro kubudikidza nomuviri waKristu, kuti muve vomumwe, kuna iye akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, kuitira kuti tigobereka chibereko kuna Mwari.
And now, my brethren, you also are dead to the law, through the body of the Meshiha, that you should be married to another, (namely, to) him who rose from the dead, that you may render fruit unto Aloha.
5 Nokuti panguva yataitongwa nenyama, kuchiva kwechivi kwakamutswa nomurayiro kwaibata mumiviri yedu, kuti tibereke chibereko chorufu.
For while we were in the flesh, the affections of sin, which are against the law, wrought powerfully in our members to yield fruits unto death;
6 Asi zvino, nokufa kune izvo zvakanga zvakatisunga, takasunungurwa kubva pamurayiro kuitira kuti tishumire nenzira itsva yoMweya, uye kwete nenzira yakanyorwa yekare.
but now we are loosed from the law, and are dead to that which held us, that we might serve henceforth in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the writing.
7 Zvino tichatiiko? Murayiro chivi here? Kwete! Zvirokwazvo ndingadai ndisina kuziva kuti chivi chii dai murayiro wakanga usipo. Nokuti ndingadai ndisina kuziva kuti kuchiva chii kudai murayiro usina kuti, “Usachiva.”
What then, say we the law is sin? Not so. But sin I had not learned (to know) but by the law: for I had not known concupiscence (to be sinful), but (by) the law, which hath said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 Asi chivi, chakawana mukana kubudikidza nomurayiro, chakaita mandiri mitoo yose yokuchiva. Nokuti kunze kwomurayiro, chivi chakafa.
And by this commandment sin found for itself an occasion, and completed in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 Ndaiva mupenyu kare kunze kwomurayiro; asi pakauya mutemo, chivi chakava noupenyu uye ini ndikafa.
But I was alive without the law formerly: but when the commandment came, sin lived, and I died.
10 Ndakaona kuti iwo mutemo waifanira kundipa upenyu, wakatozouyisa rufu.
And that commandment of life was found to me (to tend) unto death.
11 Nokuti chivi chichitora mukana wachakawaniswa nomutemo, chakandinyengera, uye kubudikidza nomutemo chikandiuraya.
For sin, by the occasion it found through the commandment, deceived me, and thereby killed me.
12 Saka naizvozvo, murayiro mutsvene, uye mutemo mutsvene, wakarurama uye wakanaka.
The law therefore is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Ko, zvino chakanaka chakazova rufu kwandiri here? Kwete napaduku pose! Asi kuti chivi chionekwe sechivi, chakabereka rufu kubudikidza nechakanaka, kuitira kuti kubudikidza nomutemo chivi chive chakaipa kwazvo.
The good, then, unto me, unto death was made? Not so. But sin, that it might be seen what sin is, by the good (law) effected death in me, that sin might be the more condemned by the commandment.
14 Tinoziva kuti murayiro ndowomweya; asi ini handisi woMweya, ndakatengeswa senhapwa kuchivi.
For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, and sold unto sin.
15 Handinzwisisi zvandinoita. Nokuti zvandinoda kuita handizviiti, asi zvandinovenga ndizvo zvandinoita.
For what I work, I know not; and not that which I will, I do; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Uye kana ndikaita zvandisingadi kuita, ndinobvuma kuti murayiro wakanaka.
And if the thing that I would not, I do, I witness of the law that it is good.
17 Saka zvino, handisiri ini ndinozviita, asi chivi chinorarama mandiri.
But now it is not I who work this, but sin which dwelleth in me.
18 Ndinoziva kuti hapana chakanaka chinogara mandiri, imo munyama yangu. Nokuti ndine chido chokuita zvakanaka, asi handigoni kuzviita.
For I know that in me, but that is in my flesh, good dwelleth not; because to will the good is easy to me, but to perform it I find not.
19 Nokuti zvandinoita hazvisi zvakanaka zvandinoda kuita, kwete, asi zvakaipa zvandisingadi kuita izvo ndizvo zvandinoramba ndichiita.
For the good that I will to do, I do not; but the evil that I will not to do, that do I.
20 Zvino kana ndichiita zvandisingadi kuita, handisini ndinozviita, asi chivi chinogara mandiri ndicho chinozviita.
And if the thing that I will not I do, it is not I who do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.
21 Saka ndinoona murayiro uyu uchishanda: Kana ndichida kuita zvakanaka, zvakaipa zviripo pandiri.
I find then a law which accordeth with my mind, that willeth to do good, because evil is near to me.
22 Nokuti mukatikati mangu ndinofarira murayiro waMwari;
For I rejoice in the law of Aloha in the interior man;
23 asi ndinoona mumwe murayiro uchishanda mumitezo yomuviri wangu, uchirwisana nomurayiro wepfungwa dzangu uye uchindiita musungwa womurayiro wechivi uri kushanda mumitezo yangu.
but I see another law in my members, which warreth against the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.
24 Ndiri munhu ari pakutambudzika kwakadii! Ndiani achandinunura kubva mumuviri uno worufu?
25 Mwari ngaavongwe kubudikidza naJesu Kristu Ishe wedu! Saka naizvozvo, ini pachangu, mupfungwa dzangu, ndiri muranda kumurayiro waMwari, asi panyama muranda kumurayiro wechivi.
I give thanks to Aloha! (it is) by the hand of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. Now then, I in my mind am the servant of the law of Aloha, but in my flesh I am the servant of the law of sin.
