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

¹There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. NU omits “who don’t walk 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 life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of 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 couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

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

⁴that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

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

⁵For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live 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, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

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

⁷because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

⁸naizvozvo zvino vari munyama havagoni kufadza Mwari.

⁸Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.

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

⁹But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

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

¹⁰If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive 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.

¹¹But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

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

¹²So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

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

¹³For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

¹⁴Nekuti vose vanotungamirirwa neMweya waMwari, ndivo vana vaMwari.

¹⁴For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

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

¹⁵For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba Abba is an Aramaic word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven. ! Father!”

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

¹⁶The Spirit himself testifies 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, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

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

¹⁸For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

¹⁹Nekuti tarisiro huru yechisikwa inomirira kuratidzwa kwevanakomana vaMwari.

¹⁹For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

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

²⁰For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

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

²¹that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

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

²²For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until 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.

²³Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

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

²⁴For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

²⁵Asi kana tichitarisira chatisingaoni, tinochimirira nemoyo murefu.

²⁵But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

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

²⁶In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

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

²⁷He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

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

²⁸We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

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

²⁹For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”

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

³⁰Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

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

³¹What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

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

³²He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

³³Ndiani uchapa mhosva vasanangurwa vaMwari? NdiMwari unoruramisa;

³³Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

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

³⁴Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession 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 Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

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

³⁶Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Psalm 44:22

³⁷Asi pazvinhu izvi zvose tinodarika vakundi kubudikidza naiye wakatida.

³⁷No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors 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 angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

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

³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
