VaRoma 7
1 Hamuzivi here, hama, nokuti ndiri kutaura kuvanhu vanoziva murayiro, kuti murayiro une simba pamusoro pomunhu panguva yose yaanenge ari mupenyu chete?
Temumanyi abooluganda, kubanga njogera eri abamanyi amateeka, ng’amateeka gafuga oyo yekka akyali omulamu?
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.
Ka mbawe ekyokulabirako: mu mateeka omukazi omufumbo, asigala nga wa bba, bba bw’aba ng’akyali mulamu. Naye bba bw’afa, omukazi oyo ng’asumuluddwa mu tteeka eribagatta.
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.
Noolwekyo omukazi oyo bwe yeegatta n’omusajja omulala, bba ng’akyali mulamu, omukazi oyo anaayitibwanga mwenzi. Naye bba bw’afanga, olwo omukazi omufumbo anaabanga asumuluddwa mu tteeka, era taabenga mwenzi bw’anaafumbirwanga omusajja omulala.
4 Saka, hama dzangu, nemiwo makafa kumurayiro kubudikidza nomuviri waKristu, kuti muve vomumwe, kuna iye akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, kuitira kuti tigobereka chibereko kuna Mwari.
Nammwe baganda bange mwafa eri amateeka, muli ba mubiri gwa Kristo. Mwegatta ku Kristo eyazuukizibwa okuva mu bafu, tulyoke tubale ebibala ebisanyusa Katonda.
5 Nokuti panguva yataitongwa nenyama, kuchiva kwechivi kwakamutswa nomurayiro kwaibata mumiviri yedu, kuti tibereke chibereko chorufu.
Kubanga bwe twali tukyafugibwa omubiri, okwegomba kw’ebibi kwakoleranga mu bitundu byaffe eby’omubiri olw’amateeka, era enkomerero kwali kufa.
6 Asi zvino, nokufa kune izvo zvakanga zvakatisunga, takasunungurwa kubva pamurayiro kuitira kuti tishumire nenzira itsva yoMweya, uye kwete nenzira yakanyorwa yekare.
Naye kaakano tetukyafugibwa mateeka. Tuli bafu eri ebyo ebyali bitusibye, era tebitulinaako buyinza. Noolwekyo tuyinza okuweereza Katonda mu ngeri empya eya Mwoyo Mutukuvu, so si mu nkola enkadde ey’amateeka.
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.”
Kale tunaayogera ki? Amateeka kye kibi? Kikafuuwe. Singa tewaali mateeka, sanditegedde kibi. N’okwegomba kw’omubiri sandikutegeeredde ddala singa amateeka tegaagamba nti, “Teweegombanga.”
8 Asi chivi, chakawana mukana kubudikidza nomurayiro, chakaita mandiri mitoo yose yokuchiva. Nokuti kunze kwomurayiro, chivi chakafa.
Ekibi kyeyambisa etteeka lino, ne kindeetera okwegomba okwa buli ngeri. Noolwekyo awatali mateeka, ekibi kiba kifu.
9 Ndaiva mupenyu kare kunze kwomurayiro; asi pakauya mutemo, chivi chakava noupenyu uye ini ndikafa.
Edda nali mulamu awatali mateeka, naye etteeka bwe lyajja, ekibi ne kiramuka, n’okufa ne nfa.
10 Ndakaona kuti iwo mutemo waifanira kundipa upenyu, wakatozouyisa rufu.
Era ne nkizuula ng’etteeka eryali liteekwa okumpa obulamu, lye lyandetera okufa.
11 Nokuti chivi chichitora mukana wachakawaniswa nomutemo, chakandinyengera, uye kubudikidza nomutemo chikandiuraya.
Ekibi kyeyambisa ekiragiro ekyo ne kinnimba, era ne kinzita.
12 Saka naizvozvo, murayiro mutsvene, uye mutemo mutsvene, wakarurama uye wakanaka.
Noolwekyo amateeka matukuvu, era n’ekiragiro kitukuvu, kiruŋŋamya era kirungi.
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.
Kale ekirungi gye ndi, ate kye kyafuuka okufa? Nedda. Ekibi kye kyakozesa ekiragiro ekirungi kiryoke kinzite. Noolwekyo tulaba ekibi bwe kiri, ekibi ddala.
14 Tinoziva kuti murayiro ndowomweya; asi ini handisi woMweya, ndakatengeswa senhapwa kuchivi.
Tumanyi ng’amateeka mwoyo, naye nze omuntu obuntu, natundibwa ng’omuddu nfugibwe ekibi.
15 Handinzwisisi zvandinoita. Nokuti zvandinoda kuita handizviiti, asi zvandinovenga ndizvo zvandinoita.
Kubanga kye nkola sikimanyi. Kye njagala si kye nkola, naye kye nkyawa kye nkola.
16 Uye kana ndikaita zvandisingadi kuita, ndinobvuma kuti murayiro wakanaka.
Newaakubadde nga nkola kye mmanyi nga kikyamu, nzikiriza ng’amateeka malungi.
17 Saka zvino, handisiri ini ndinozviita, asi chivi chinorarama mandiri.
Noolwekyo si nze nkola ebintu ebyo ebibi, wabula ekibi ekiri mu nze.
18 Ndinoziva kuti hapana chakanaka chinogara mandiri, imo munyama yangu. Nokuti ndine chido chokuita zvakanaka, asi handigoni kuzviita.
Mmanyi nga mu nze, temuli kalungi n’akamu. Ne bwe njagala okukola ekirungi, tewali kirungi kye nkola.
19 Nokuti zvandinoita hazvisi zvakanaka zvandinoda kuita, kwete, asi zvakaipa zvandisingadi kuita izvo ndizvo zvandinoramba ndichiita.
Ekirungi kye njagala okukola si kye nkola, naye ekibi kye saagala kye nkola.
20 Zvino kana ndichiita zvandisingadi kuita, handisini ndinozviita, asi chivi chinogara mandiri ndicho chinozviita.
Naye obanga kye saagala kye nkola, si nze mba nkikola, wabula ekibi ekibeera mu nze.
21 Saka ndinoona murayiro uyu uchishanda: Kana ndichida kuita zvakanaka, zvakaipa zviripo pandiri.
Noolwekyo nzudde mu mateeka nga bwe njagala okukola ebirungi, ekibi kimbeera kumpi.
22 Nokuti mukatikati mangu ndinofarira murayiro waMwari;
Mu nze mu muntu ow’omunda njagala nnyo okugondera amateeka ga Katonda.
23 asi ndinoona mumwe murayiro uchishanda mumitezo yomuviri wangu, uchirwisana nomurayiro wepfungwa dzangu uye uchindiita musungwa womurayiro wechivi uri kushanda mumitezo yangu.
Naye mu mubiri gwange gwonna, ndaba amateeka ag’enjawulo nga gawakana n’etteeka lya Katonda amagezi gange ge limanyi. Ekyo kinfuula omusibe w’amateeka ag’ekibi, ekikolera mu mubiri gwange.
24 Ndiri munhu ari pakutambudzika kwakadii! Ndiani achandinunura kubva mumuviri uno worufu?
Nga ndi muntu munaku! Ani alindokola mu mubiri guno ogugenda okufa?
25 Mwari ngaavongwe kubudikidza naJesu Kristu Ishe wedu! Saka naizvozvo, ini pachangu, mupfungwa dzangu, ndiri muranda kumurayiro waMwari, asi panyama muranda kumurayiro wechivi.
Kyokka Katonda yeebazibwe mu Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe. Nze kennyini mu birowoozo byange, ndi muddu w’amateeka ga Katonda era gwe mpeereza, newaakubadde ng’okwegomba kwange okw’omubiri, mpeereza etteeka ly’ekibi.
