Romans 4
1 What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N+KO) of us according to [the] flesh?
Ko zvino tichati Abhurahama baba vedu wakawanei panyama?
2 If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward God.
Nokuti kana Abhurahama akanzi wakarurama nemabasa, ane kuzvikudza, asi kwete pamberi paMwari.
3 What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Nokuti rugwaro rwunoti kudini? Rwunoti: Abhurahama wakatenda kuna Mwari, zvikaverengwa kwaari kuti kururama.
4 To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to debt;
Asi kune anoshanda mubairo hauverengwi sewenyasha, asi sewengava.
5 To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.
Asi kune asingashandi, asi anotenda kuna iye anoshaisa mhosva asingadi Mwari, rutendo rwake rwunoverengerwa kuti kururama.
6 just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Uye sezvo Dhavhidhi achitsanangura kuropafadzwa kwemunhu, Mwari waanoverengera kururama kunze kwemabasa, achiti:
7 Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;
Vakaropafadzwa vane kudarika kwakakanganwirwa, uye vane zvivi zvakafukidzirwa.
8 blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N+kO) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.
Wakaropafadzwa munhu Ishe waasingatongoverengeri chivi.
9 [Is] the blessing then this on the circumcision or also on the uncircumcision? We are saying for (that: *k) was credited to Abraham the faith as righteousness.
Naizvozvo kuropafadzwa uku kuri pamusoro pekudzingiswa here, kana pamusoro pekusadzingiswawo? Nokuti tinoti: Rutendo rwakaverengwa kuna Abhurahama kuti kururama.
10 How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;
Ko kwakaverengwa sei? Paakange ari mukudzingiswa here, kana mukusadzingiswa? Kwete mukudzingiswa, asi mukusadzingiswa.
11 And [the] sign he received of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] [while] in the uncircumcision; for the to be him father of all those believing in uncircumcision, for to be credited also to them the righteousness,
Zvino wakagamuchira chiratidzo chekudzingiswa, mucherechedzo wekururama kwerutendo, rwaakange anarwo mukusadzingiswa; kuti ave baba vevese vanotenda mukusadzingiswa, kuti kururama kuverengerwe kwavariwo;
12 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only but also to those walking in the steps during (the *k) uncircumcision (of the *k) faith of the father of us Abraham.
uye baba vekudzingiswa kune avo vasiri vanobva mukudzingiswa chete, asi vanofambawo mumakwara erutendo rwababa vedu Abhurahama kwavaiva nako mukusadzingiswa.
13 Not for through [the] Law [was] the promise to Abraham or to the descendants of him that heir he being (of the *k) world but through [the] righteousness of faith.
Nokuti chivimbiso hachina kuva kuna Abhurahama kana kumbeu yake kubudikidza nemurairo, chekuva mugari wenhaka yenyika, asi nekururama kwerutendo.
14 If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;
Nokuti kana ivo vanobva pamurairo vari vagari venhaka, rutendo rwunoshaiswa maturo, nechivimbiso chinokoneswa;
15 For law wrath brings; where (now *N+kO) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.
nokuti murairo unouisa kutsamwa; nokuti pasina murairo, hapana kudarikawo.
16 Therefore it [is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for to be sure the promise to all the seed, not to that of the law only but also to that of [the] faith of Abraham, who is [the] father of all of us —
Naizvozvo ndezverutendo, kuti zvive zvenyasha, kuti chivimbiso chisimbiswe kumbeu yese; isati iri yemurairo chete asi neiyo yerutendo rwaAbhurahama, anova baba vedu tese,
17 even as it has been written that A father of many nations I have made you, before whom he believed God, who is giving life to the dead and calling the [things] not [into] being as existing;
(sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Ndakakugadza uve baba vemarudzi mazhinji) pamberi paiye waakatenda, iye Mwari, anoraramisa vakafa, neanodana zvisipo sekunge zviripo.
18 who against hope in hope believed for to become him [the] father of many nations according to that spoken; So will be the offspring of you;
Iye achipokana netariro wakatenda kutariro, kuti achava baba vemarudzi mazhinji, sezvakange zvataurwa kuti: Ichaita saizvozvo mbeu yako.
19 And not having become weak in the faith (not *K) he considered his own body already expired, a hundred years old about being, and the lifelessness of the womb of Sarah,
Uye haana kushaiwa simba parutendo, haana kurangarira muviri wake womene wakange watofa, ava nemakore anenge zana, uye kufa kwechizvaro chaSara;
20 About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God
asi haana kuva nechokwadi nechivimbiso chaMwari nekusatenda, asi wakasimbiswa parutendo, achipa rumbidzo kuna Mwari,
21 and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;
achipwisa zvakazara kuti icho chaakavimbisa, wakange achigonawo kuchiita.
22 Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.
Zvino naizvozvo zvakaverengerwa kwaari kuti kururama.
23 Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,
Asi zvakange zvisina kunyorwa nekuda kwake ega, kuti zvakaverengerwa kwaari;
24 but also on account of us to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the [One] having raised Jesus the Lord of us out from [the] dead,
asi nekuda kweduwo, tichaverengerwa icho, tinotenda kune wakamutsa Jesu Ishe wedu kubva kuvakafa,
25 who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
wakatengeswa nekuda kwezvitadzo zvedu, akamutswazve nekuda kwekunzi takarurama.
