VaRoma 5

¹Naizvozvo zvitinoruramiswa nokutenda ngative norugare kunaMwari naShe wedu, Jesu Kristu;Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

²watakawana naye mapindire nokutenda munyasha idzi, dzatinomira madziri; ngatifare netariro yokuvona kubwinya kwaMwari.By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

³Zvisati zviri izvo bedzi, asi ngatifare vo mumadambudziko, tichiziva kuti kutambudzika kunovuyisa kutsungirira;And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

⁴kutsungirira kunovuyisa kuidzwa; kuidzwa kunovuyisa tariro;And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

⁵tariro hainyadzisi; nokuti rudo rwaMwari rwakadirwa mumoyo yedu noMweya Mutsvene watakapiwa.And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

⁶Nokuti tichiri pakushaiwa simba, Kristu panguva yakafanira wakafira vasingadi Mwari.For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷Nokuti zvinorema kuti munhu afire wakarurama; nokuti zvimwe mumwe ungatsunga kufira wakanaka.For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

⁸Asi Mwari unoratidza rudo rwake kwatiri pakuti Kristu wakatifira, tichiri vatadzi.But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹Zvino, zvatakaruramiswa muropa rake, tichaponeswa zvikuru sei naye pakutsamwa.Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

¹⁰Nokuti zvatakayananiswa naMwari nokufa kwoMwanakomana wake, tichiri vavengi vake, zvikuru tichaponeswa kana tayananiswa novupenyu bwake;For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

¹¹zvisati zviri izvo bedzi, asi tinofara zvikuru vo munaMwari naShe wedu Jesu Kristu, watakapiwa zvino naye iko kuyananiswa.And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

¹²Saka, zvivi sezvazvakapinda munyika nomunhu mumwe, norufu rukapinda nezvivi; saizvozvo rufu rwakasvika kuvanhu vose, nokuti vose vakatadza;Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

¹³nokuti murairo usati wavapo, zvivi zvakanga zviri panyika; asi zvivi hazviverengerwi munhu, kana kusinomurairo.(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

¹⁴Asi rufu rwakabata vushe kubva kunaAdhama kusvikira kunaMosesi, kunyange napakati vo pavasina kutadza nokudarika kwaAdhama, waiva mufananidzo wowakanga achizovuya.Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

¹⁵Asi chipo chokungopiwa hachifanani nokudarika. Nokuti kana vazhinji vakafa nokudarika kwomumwe, zvikuru nyasha dzaMwari nechipo chakavuya nenyasha dzomunhu mumwe, Jesu Kristu, zvakawandira vazhinji.But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

¹⁶Vuye chipo hachifanani nezvivi zvomunhu mumwe wakatadza; nokuti kutonga kwakavuya nomunhu mumwe kuti vapiwe mhosva; asi chipo chokungopiwa chakavuya nokudarika kuzhinji, kuti varuramisirwe.And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

¹⁷Nokuti kana nokudarika kwomumwe rufu rwakabata vushe nomunhu uyu mumwe; zvikuru avo, vakapiwa kuwanda kwenyasha nokwechipo chokururama, vachabata vushe pavupenyu nomumwe, iye Jesu Kristu.For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

¹⁸Naizvozvo, kutonga sezvakwakavuya kuvanhu vose nokudarika kumwe, kuti vapiwe mhosva; saizvozvo nokururamisa kumwe chipo chokungopiwa chakavuya kuvanhu vose, kururamisirwa kwovupenyu kukavapo.Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

¹⁹Nokuti vazhinji sezvavakaitwa vatadzi nokusateerera kwomumwe, saizvozvo vazhinji vachaitwa vakarurama nokuterera kwomumwe.For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

²⁰Murairo wakapinda vo kuti kudarika kuwande; zvino zvivi pazvakawanda, nyasha dzakawanda nokupfuvurisa;Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

²¹kuti zvivi sezvazvakabata vushe parufu, saizvozvo nyasha dzibate vushe nokururama, zviise kuvupenyu bwusingaperi naJesu Kristu Ishe wedu.That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
