VaRoma 8
1 Naizvozvo zvino, hakuchina kupiwa mhosva kuna vari muna Kristu Jesu,
There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.
2 nokuti kubudikidza naKristu Jesu murayiro woMweya woupenyu wakandisunungura kubva pamurayiro wechivi norufu.
For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death.
3 Nokuti zvakanga zvisingakwaniswi kuitwa nomurayiro pakushayiswa simba kwawo nomunhu wechivi, Mwari akazviita nokutuma Mwanakomana wake mumufananidzo wemunhu wechivi kuti ave chipiriso chechivi. Uye akapa mhosva kuchivi chiri mumunhu wechivi,
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh;
4 kuitira kuti kururama kunodiwa nomurayiro kuzadziswe matiri, isu tisingafambi maererano nenyama asi maererano noMweya.
That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
5 Nokuti vaya vanorarama namararamiro enyama, pfungwa dzavo dzinofunga zvinodiwa nenyama; asi vaya vanorarama namararamiro oMweya, pfungwa dzavo dzinofunga zvoMweya.
For they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.
6 Nokuti kufunga kwomunhu wechivi ndirwo rufu, asi kufunga kunotongwa noMweya ndihwo upenyu norugare;
For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace.
7 nokuti kufunga kwenyama kunovenga Mwari. Hakuzviisi pasi pomurayiro waMwari, uye hakugoni kuzviita.
Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither can it be.
8 Avo vanotongwa nenyama havagoni kufadza Mwari.
And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.
9 Asi imi hamutongwi nenyama asi noMweya, kana Mweya waMwari achigara mamuri. Uye kana munhu asina Mweya waKristu, haazi waKristu,
But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 Asi kana Kristu ari mamuri, muviri wenyu wakafa nokuda kwechivi, asi Mweya wenyu mupenyu nokuda kwokururama.
And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin; but the spirit liveth, because of justification.
11 Uye kana Mweya waiye akamutsa Kristu kubva kuvakafa uchigara mamuri, iye akamutsa Kristu kubva kuvakafa achapawo upenyu kumiviri yenyu inofa kubudikidza noMweya wake unogara mamuri.
And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Naizvozvo, hama, tine mungava, asi kwete wenyama, kuti tirarame maererano nezvainoda.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 Nokuti kana muchirarama maererano nezvinodiwa nenyama, muchafa, asi kana muchirarama noMweya munouraya mabasa akaipa omuviri, uye muchararama,
For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
14 nokuti vaya vanotungamirirwa noMweya waMwari ndivo vana vaMwari.
For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 Nokuti hamuna kugamuchira mweya wouranda kuti muitwezve varanda vokutya, asi makagamuchira Mweya wokuitwa vana, uya watinodana naye tichiti, “Abha, Baba.”
For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).
16 Mweya amene anopupurirana noMweya wedu kuti tiri vana vaMwari.
For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.
17 Zvino kana tiri vana, naizvozvo tiri vadyi venhaka pamwe chete naye kuitira kuti tigozokudzwawo pamwe chete naKristu, kana zvirokwazvo tichitambudzika pamwe chete naye kuitira kuti tigozokudzwawo pamwe chete naye.
And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
18 Nokuti ndinoti matambudziko atinawo nguva ino haana kufanira kuenzaniswa nokubwinya kuchazoratidzwa kwatiri.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.
19 Nokuti zvisikwa zvinotarisira zvikuru zvichimirira kuratidzwa kwavanakomana vaMwari.
For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.
20 Nokuti zvisikwa zvakaiswa pasi pokudzungaira kukuru, zvisingadi hazvo, asi nokuda kwaiye akazviisa pasi pokudzungaira, mutariro
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:
21 yokuti zvisikwa pachazvo zvichazosunungurwa kubva pauranda hwokuora uye zvigoiswa pakusunungurwa kwokubwinya kwavana vaMwari.
Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 Tinoziva kuti zvisikwa zvose zvinogomera sokurwadza kwokuzvara mwana kusvikira panguva ino.
For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
23 Kwete izvozvo chete, asi nesuwo, vane zvibereko zvokutanga zvoMweya, tinogomera mukati medu tichimirira zvikuru kuitwa kwedu vana, iko kudzikinurwa kwemiviri yedu.
And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
24 Nokuti mutariro iyi takaponeswa. Asi tariro inoonekwa haizi tariro zvachose. Ndiani anotarisira chaanacho kare?
For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?
25 Asi kana tine tariro yechinhu chatisina, tinochimirira nokutsungirira.
But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.
26 Saizvozvowo, Mweya anotibatsira mukusava nesimba kwedu. Nokuti hatizivi zvatinofanira kunyengeterera, asi Mweya amene anotinyengeterera nokugomera kusingatsananguriki namashoko.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.
27 Uye iye anonzvera mwoyo yedu anoziva kufunga kwaMweya, nokuti Mweya anonyengeterera vatsvene maererano nokuda kwaMwari.
And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God.
28 Uye tinoziva kuti muzvinhu zvose Mwari anoita kuti zviitire zvakanaka kuna avo vanomuda, vaya vakadanwa sezvaakafunga.
And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
29 Nokuti avo Mwari vaakaziva kare, ndivo vaakatemerawo kare, kuti vafanane nomufananidzo woMwanakomana wake, kuti agova dangwe pakati pehama dzake zhinji.
For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.
30 Uye vaya vaakatemera kare, ndivo vaakadanawo; vaya vaakadana, ndivo vaakaruramisirawo; vaya vaakaruramisira, ndivo vaakakudzawo.
And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 Zvino tichatiiko pazvinhu izvi? Kana Mwari ari kurutivi rwedu, ndiani angatirwisa?
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us?
32 Iye asina kuramba noMwanakomana wake, asi akamupa chose nokuda kwedu tose, angarega seiko kutipawo zvose, pamwe chete naye?
He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?
33 Ndianiko achapa mhosva avo vakasarudzwa naMwari? Mwari ndiye anoruramisira.
Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God that justifieth.
34 Ndianiko achavapa mhosva? Kristu Jesu, ndiye akafa pamusoro pezvo, ndiye akamutswa akava mupenyu, ari kurudyi rwaMwari, uye anotinyengetererawo.
Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died, yea that is risen also again; who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Ndianiko achatiparadzanisa norudo rwaKristu? Kutambudzika here, kana nhamo, kana kutambudzwa, kana nzara, kana kushayiwa zvokupfeka, kana njodzi, kana munondo?
Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?
36 Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Nokuda kwenyu tinotarisana norufu zuva rose; tinoitwa samakwai anofanira kubayiwa.”
(As it is written: For thy sake we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)
37 Kwete, pazvinhu zvose izvi tiri vakundi nokupfuurisa kubudikidza naiye akatida.
But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.
38 Nokuti ndinoziva kwazvo kuti kunyange rufu, kana upenyu, kana vatumwa, kana madhimoni, kana zvazvino, kana zvichauya, kana masimba api zvawo,
For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might,
39 kana kwakakwirira, kana kwakadzika, kana chimwe chinhuwo zvacho pazvisikwa zvose, hazvingagoni kutiparadzanisa norudo rwaMwari, rwuri muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
