VaRoma 8

¹Naizvozvo hakuchina kupiwa mhosva kunavari munaKristu Jesu vasingafambi nenyama asi nomweya.There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

²Nokuti murairo woMweya wovupenyu munaKristu Jesu wakandisunungura pamurairo wezvivi noworufu.For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

³Nokuti, zvakanga zvisingakwaniswi nomurairo, pakushaiwa kwawo simba nokuda kwenyama, Mwari pakutuma kwake Mwanakomana, wake nomufananidzo wenyama yezvivi, nokuda kwezvivi, wakapa mhosva zvivi zviri munyama;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 for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

⁴kuti zvakarebwa nomurairo zviitike matiri, isu tisingafambi nenyama, asi nomweya.That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

⁵Nokuti vari vomweya, vanofunga zvomweya.For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

⁶Nokuti kufunga kwenyama ndirwo rufu; asi kufunga kwomweya ndibwo vupenyu norugare;For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

⁷nokuti kufunga kwenyama kunovengana naMwari; nokuti hakuzviisi pasi pomurairo waMwari; hakugoni vo;Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

⁸zvino vari munyama havagoni kufadza Mwari.So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹Asi imi hamuzi munyama, asi mumweya, kana Mweya waMwari achigara zvirokwazvo mukati menyu. Asi kana munhu asinoMweya waKristu, haazi wake.But ye 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.

¹⁰Kana Kristu ari mukati menyu, muviri wakafa nokuda kwezvivi, asi mweya mupenyu nokuda kwokururama.And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

¹¹Zvino kana Mweya waiyeyo wakamutsa Jesu kuvakafa achigara mukati menyu, iye wakamutsa Kristu Jesu kuvakafa, uchaponesa miviri yenyu inofa noMweya wake, unogara mukati menyu.But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

¹²Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, hatinengava nenyama, kuti tirarame netsika dzenyama.Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

¹³Nokuti kana muchifamba netsika dzenyama, muchafa; asi kana muchivuraya mabasa omuviri noMweya, muchararama;For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

¹⁴nokuti vose vanotungamirirwa noMweya waMwari, ndivo vana vaMwari.For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

¹⁵Nokuti hamuna kupiwa mweya wovuranda kuti mutye zve, asi makapiwa mweya wokuitwa vana, watinodana nawo, tichiti: Aba, baba.For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

¹⁶Mweya amene unopupurirana nomweya wedu, kuti tiri vana vaMwari;The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

¹⁷zvino kana tiri vana, tiri vadyi venhaka; vadyi venhaka yaMwari, vadyi venhaka pamwe chete naKristu; kana tichitambudzika pamwe chete naye, tichakudzwa vo pamwe chete naye.And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

¹⁸Nokuti ndinoti madambudziko enguva ino haana kufanira kuenzaniswa nokubwinya kuchazoratidzwa kwatiri.For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

¹⁹Nokuti zvisikwa zvinotarisisa zvikuru zvichimirira kuratidzwa kwavanakomana vaMwari.For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

²⁰Nokuti zvisikwa zvakaiswa pasi pezvisingagari, zvisingadi hazvo, asi nokuda kwaiye wakazviisa pasi pazvo.For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

²¹zvichitarira kuti zvisikwa zvimene zvisunungurwe vo pavuranda bwokuvora, zviiswe pakusunungurwa kwokubwinya kwavana vaMwari.Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

²²Nokuti tinoziva kuti zvisikwa zvose zvinogomera nokurwadziwa pamwe chete kusvikira zvino.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

²³Zvisati zviri izvo bedzi, asi nesu vo, kunyange tinezvibereko zvokutanga zvoMweya, nesu timene tinogomera mukati medu, tichimirira kuitwa kwedu vana, ndiko kudzikinurwa kwomuviri wedu.And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

²⁴Nokuti takaponeswa netariro; nokuti ndiani unotarira chaanovona?For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

²⁵Asi kana tichitarira chatisingavoni, tinochimirira nokutsungirira.But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

²⁶Saizvozvo Mweya unobatirana vo nokusava nesimba kwedu; nokuti hatizivi kunyengetera zvakafanira; asi Mweya amene unotinyengeterera nokugomera kusingataurwi;Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

²⁷uyo unonzera moyo, ndiye unoziva kufunga kwoMweya, nokuti unonyengeterera vatsvene sezvinoda Mwari.And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

²⁸Tinoziva kuti zvinhu zvose zvinobata pamwechete kuti zviitire zvakanaka avo vanoda Mwari, avo vakadanwa sezvaakafunga.And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

²⁹Nokuti vaakaziva kare, ndivo vaakatemera vo kare, kuti vafanane nomufananidzo woMwanakomana wake, kuti ave dangwe pakati pehama zhinji;For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

³⁰avo vaakatemera kare, ndivo vaakadana vo; vaakadana, ndivo vaakaruramisa vo; vaakaruramisa, ndivo vaakakudza vo.Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

³¹Zvino tichatiyiko pa zvinhu izvi? Kana Mwari achitirwira, ndianiko uchatirwisa?What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

³²Iye usina kuramba kunyange noMwanakomana wake, asi wakamupa chose nokuda kwedu tose, ungarega seiko kutipa vo zvose pamwe chete naye?He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

³³Ndianiko uchakwirira vasanangurwa vaMwari? Mwari ndiye unoruramisa;Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

³⁴ndianiko uchavapa mhosva? Kristu Jesu ndiye wakafa, zvikuru ndiye wakamutswa kuvakafa, uri kurudyi rwaMwari, unotinyengeterera vo.Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

³⁵Ndianiko uchatiparadzanisa norudo rwaKristu? Kutambudzika, kana nhamo, kana kuvengwa, kana nzara, kana kushaiwa zvokufuka, kana njodzi, kana munondo here?Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁶Sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi: Nokuda kwenyu tinovurawa zuva rose; Takanzi tiri makwai anobayiwa.As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

³⁷Kwete, pazvinhu izvi zvose tiri vakundi nokupfuvurisa naiye wakatida.Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

³⁸Nokuti ndinoziva kwazvo kuti kunyange rufu, kana vupenyu, kana vatumwa, kana vanesimba, kana zvazvino, kana zvinovuya kana masimba.For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

³⁹kana kwakakwirira, kana kwakadzika, kana chinhu chimwe chakasikwa, hazvingagoni kutiparadzanisa norudo rwaMwari, ruri munaKristu 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.
