VaRoma 6
1 Zvino tichatii? Ticharambira muchivi kuti nyasha dziwande here?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Ngazvisadaro! Isu takafa kuchivi, ticharamba tichirarama sei machiri?
Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 Kana hamuzivi here kuti isu tese takabhabhatidzwa muna Kristu Jesu, takabhabhatidzwa murufu rwake?
Or do you not know that all we who were immersed into Messiah Yeshua were immersed into his death?
4 Naizvozvo takavigwa pamwe naye murufu nerubhabhatidzo; kuti sezvo Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa nekubwinya kwaBaba, saizvozvo isuwo tifambe pautsva hweupenyu.
We were buried therefore with him through immersion to death, that just like Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 Nokuti kana takadzvarwa pamwe pakufanana kwerufu rwake, asi tichadarowo pakumuka kwake;
For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
6 tichiziva izvi, kuti munhu wedu wekare wakarovererwa pamwe naye, kuti muviri wechivi uparadzwe, kuti isu tisachishumira chivi;
knowing this, that our old self was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
7 nokuti uyo wakafa wakasunungurwa pachivi.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Zvino kana takafa pamwe naKristu, tinotenda kuti tichararamawo pamwe naye;
But if we died with Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him;
9 tichiziva kuti Kristu amutswa kubva kuvakafa haafizve; rufu haruchina simba pamusoro pake.
knowing that Messiah, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
10 Nokuti pakuti wakafa, wakafa kamwe kuchivi; zvino pakuti anorarama, anorarama kuna Mwari.
For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Saizvozvo nemwi zviverengei semakafa zvirokwazvo kuchivi, asi munorarama kuna Mwari naKristu Jesu Ishe wedu.
In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Yeshua.
12 Naizvozvo chivi ngachirege kutonga mumuviri wenyu unofa, kuti muchiteerere kuchiva kwacho;
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 uye musapa mitezo yenyu ive midziyo yekusarurama kuchivi; asi muzvipe imwi kuna Mwari sevapenyu kubva kuvakafa, nemitezo yenyu ive midziyo yekururama kuna Mwari.
Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 Nokuti chivi hachizotongi pamusoro penyu; nokuti hamusi pasi pemurairo, asi pasi penyasha.
For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Ko zvino? Tichatadza here, nokuti hatisi pasi pemurairo, asi pasi penyasha? Ngazvisadaro!
What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? Absolutely not.
16 Hamuzivi here kuti uyo wamunozvipa kwaari muve varanda vekumuteerera, muri varanda vaiye wamunoteerera; kana vechivi chinoisa kurufu, kana vekuteerera kunoisa kukururama?
Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
17 Asi Mwari ngaavongwe, kuti maiva varanda vechivi, asi mava kuteerera kubva pamoyo muenzaniso wedzidziso wamakakumikidzwa kwauri;
But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18 uye masunungurwa kubva pachivi, makaitwa varanda vekururama.
Being made free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19 Ndinotaura nenzira yevanhu nekuda kweutera hwenyama yenyu; nokuti sezvamakapa mitezo yenyu kuva varanda kutsvina neuipi zvinoisa kune zvakaipa, saizvozvo ikozvino ipai mitezo yenyu kuva varanda vekururama kunoisa kuutsvene.
I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.
20 Nokuti pamaiva varanda vechivi, makange makasununguka pakururama.
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21 Naizvozvo maiva nechibereko chei panguva iyo pazvinhu izvo zvamava kunyadziswa nazvo ikozvino? Nokuti mugumo wezvinhu izvo rufu.
What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 Asi ikozvino zvamakasunungurwa pachivi, mukaitwa varanda kuna Mwari, mune chibereko chenyu chinoisa kuutsvene, uye mugumo upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
But now, being made free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
