¹Naizvozvo zvino hakuna kupiwa mhosva kune vari muna Kristu Jesu vasingafambi nenyama asi nemweya.

¹There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

²Nekuti murairo weMweya weupenyu muna Kristu Jesu wakandisunungura pamurairo wechivi nerufu.

²for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

³Nekuti zvakange zvisingagoni kuitwa nemurairo, pakuti wakange une utera kubudikidza nenyama, Mwari achituma Mwanakomana wake nemufananidzo wenyama yezvivi, uye nekuda kwechivi, wakapa mhosva chivi munyama;

³for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

⁴kuti kururama kwemurairo kuzadziswe matiri, tisingafambi nenyama, asi nemweya.

⁴that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

⁵Nekuti vari venyama vanorangarira zvinhu zvenyama asi vemweya zvinhu zvemweya.

⁵For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;

⁶Nekuti kufunganya kwenyama rufu; asi kufunganya kwemweya upenyu nerugare;

⁶for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit — life and peace;

⁷nekuti kufunganya kwenyama ruvengo kuna Mwari; nekuti hakuzviisi pasi pomurairo waMwari; uye hakugoniwo;

⁷because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

⁸naizvozvo zvino vari munyama havagoni kufadza Mwari.

⁸for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

⁹Asi imwi hamusi munyama, asi mumweya, kana zvirokwazvo Mweya waMwari uchigara mamuri. Asi ani nani asina Mweya waKristu haazi wake.

⁹And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ — this one is not His;

¹⁰Asi kana Kristu ari mamuri, muviri wakafa nekuda kwechivi, asi mweya upenyu nekuda kwekururama.

¹⁰and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,

¹¹Zvino kana Mweya waiye wakamutsa Jesu kuvakafa achigara mamuri, iye wakamutsa Kristu kuvakafa uchamutsawo miviri yenyu inofa kubudikidza neMweya wake unogara mamuri.

¹¹and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.

¹²Naizvozvo, hama, tine ngava, kwete kunyama, kuti tirarame zvinoenderana nenyama;

¹²So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;

¹³nekuti kana muchirarama panyama, muchafa; asi kana muchiuraya mabasa emuviri neMweya, muchararama.

¹³for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;

¹⁴Nekuti vose vanotungamirirwa neMweya waMwari, ndivo vana vaMwari.

¹⁴for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;

¹⁵Nekuti hamuna kugamuchira mweya weurandazve kuti mutye, asi makagamuchira mweya wekuitwa vana, watinodana nawo tichiti: Abha*, Baba.

¹⁵for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba — Father.`

¹⁶Mweya amene unopupurirana nemweya wedu, kuti tiri vana vaMwari;

¹⁶The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;

¹⁷zvino kana tiri vana, tiri vadyi venhaka; vadyi venhaka vaMwari, vadyi venhaka pamwe naKristu; kana zvakadaro kuti tinotambudzika naye, kuti tikudzwewo pamwe.

¹⁷and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ — if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

¹⁸Nekuti ndinoona kuti matambudziko enguva ino haafaniri kuenzaniswa nekubwinya kuchazoratidzwa kwatiri.

¹⁸For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;

¹⁹Nekuti tarisiro huru yechisikwa inomirira kuratidzwa kwevanakomana vaMwari.

¹⁹for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;

²⁰Nekuti chisikwa chakaiswa pasi pechisina maturo, kwete nekuda, asi nekuda kwaiye wakachiisa pasi mutariro.

²⁰for to vanity was the creation made subject — not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] — in hope,

²¹Nekuti chisikwa pachachowo chichasunungurwa pauranda hwekuora, chiiswe parusununguko rwekubwinya kwevana vaMwari.

²¹that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;

²²Nekuti tinoziva kuti chisikwa chose chinogomera nekurwadziwa mumarwadzo pamwe kusvikira zvino.

²²for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.

²³Zvisati zviri izvo chete, asi isuwo, kunyange tine chibereko chekutanga chemweya, nesu tomene tinogomera mukati medu, tichimirira kuitwa kwedu vana, ndirwo rudzikunuro rwemuviri wedu.

²³And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting — the redemption of our body;

²⁴Nekuti tinoponeswa netariro; asi tariro inoonekwa haisi tariro; nekuti izvo munhu zvaanoona uchakazvitaririrei?

²⁴for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for [it]?

²⁵Asi kana tichitarisira chatisingaoni, tinochimirira nemoyo murefu.

²⁵and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].

²⁶Saizvozvo Mweyawo unobatsira utera hwedu; nekuti hatizivi chatinofanira kunyengeterera sezvatinofanira; asi Mweya amene unotireverera nekugomera kusingatauriki;

²⁶And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth [us], we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

²⁷zvino iye unonzvera moyo, ndiye unoziva fungwa dzeMweya, nekuti unoreverera vatsvene maererano naMwari.

²⁷and He who is searching the hearts hath known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.

²⁸Uye tinoziva kuti zvinhu zvose zvinobata pamwe kuti zvinakire avo vanoda Mwari, avo vakadamwa maererano nezano rake.

²⁸And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

²⁹Nekuti vaakagara aziva, wakagarawo avatemera kuti vafanane nemufananidzo weMwanakomana wake, kuti ave dangwe pakati pehama zhinji.

²⁹because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

³⁰Pamusoro pazvo, avo vaakagara atemera, ndivo vaakadanawo; ivo nevaakadana, ndivo vaakaruramisawo; nevaakaruramisa, ndivo vaakakudzawo.

³⁰and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.

³¹Zvino tichatiyi kuzvinhu izvi? Kana Mwari ari wedu, ndiani uchatirwisa?

³¹What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God [is] for us, who [is] against us?

³²Iye usina kutongoomera neMwanakomana wake, asi wakamukumikidza nekuda kwedu tose, ungarega sei nayewo kutipa pachena zvinhu zvose?

³²He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

³³Ndiani uchapa mhosva vasanangurwa vaMwari? NdiMwari unoruramisa;

³³Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous,

³⁴ndiani unopa mhosva? ndiKristu wakafa, zvikuru wakamutswazve, uri kuruoko rwerudyi rwaMwari, unotirevererawo.

³⁴who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God — who also doth intercede for us.

³⁵Ndiani uchatiparadzanisa nerudo rwaKristu? Kutambudzika, kana kumanikidzika, kana kushushwa, kana nzara, kana kushama, kana njodzi, kana munondo here?

³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁶Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Nekuda kwenyu tinourawa zuva rose; tinoverengwa semakwai okubayiwa.

³⁶(according as it hath been written — `For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,`)

³⁷Asi pazvinhu izvi zvose tinodarika vakundi kubudikidza naiye wakatida.

³⁷but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

³⁸Nekuti ndinechokwadi kuti harwusi rufu, kana upenyu, kana vatumwa, kana ukuru ukuru, kana masimba, kana zvinhu zvazvino, kana zvinhu zvinouya,

³⁸for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

³⁹kana urefu, kana udzamu, kana chimwe chisikwa chipi zvacho, chingagona kutiparadzanisa nerudo rwaMwari rwuri muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.

³⁹nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
