Roma 7
1 Sana iyiru ba linuana [in din liru nin na nit ale na yiru uduka] bara uduka din dortu nin nit nan nya na yirin in lai me?
Surely, Brothers, you know (for I am speaking to men who know what Law means) that Law has power over a man only as long as he lives.
2 Ame uwani ni luma a terin nin lesse nan nya nisilin niluma ywase ulesse nnku, abuntu nannya ni silin ni luma.
For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband while he is living; but, if her husband dies, she is set free from the law that bound her to him.
3 Bara nan, nan nya kubi ko na ulsse di nin lai asa anuzu asu iluma nin mong ima yichi ghe ukilak. Asa ulesse nku anuzu ni silin nilumea na du ikilaki asa su ilumama nin mong uni.
If, then, during her husband’s lifetime, she unites herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but, if her husband dies, the law has no further hold on her, nor, if she unites herself to another man, is she an adulteress.
4 Bara nanere nwa na nin i wa ti munu anan kul bar uduka nan nyan Kirst, bara ina dofuzonu ligowe nin nin nat, bara ame, naiwafiya ghe nan nya nan ku, bara bara nan macha nono fiu Kutelle.
And so with you, my Brothers; as far as the Law was concerned, you underwent death in the crucified body of the Christ, so that you might be united to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that our lives might bear fruit for God.
5 Kube na ti wadi nakidowo wanuzu kamang nan nya niti niti nidowo bite. In nuzum duka bara tinan nut tuno nono kul.
When we were living merely earthly lives, our sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were active in every part of our bodies, with the result that our lives bore fruit for Death.
6 Nene ina nutun nari nan nyan duk a tinani naku nan nyan in chn bite na ti wa kif, bara ti nan su kata kapese nan nya in fip Kutelle, na nan nya in chin ukuse ba.
But now we are set free from the Law, because we are dead to that which once kept us under restraint; and so we serve under new, spiritual conditions, and not under old, written regulations.
7 Ani iyari tima belle nene? Ani uduk kulapiari litime? Na uwa so nanin b. Vat nin nan, na inwa na yinin kulapi ba, sasana uduka b. Na inwa yiru iyiru iyari kunaniyizi sasa na uduke na bellin b, “Naubasu kunaniyizi ba,”
What are we to say, then? That Law and sin are the same thing? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, I should not have learned what sin is, had not it been for Law. If the Law did not say ‘Thou shalt not covet,’ I should not know what it is to covet.
8 Tutun kulapi nayiru kubi nan nya in duka unare na dak nin vat intok kulapi nan nya nin. Tutun andi na Uduka di ba kulapin nkul
But sin took advantage of the Commandment to arouse in me every form of covetousness, for where there is no consciousness of Law sin shows no sign of life.
9 so uurum in wa yita nin bai sa Uduka ne uduka dak kulapi koni na kuru kurun fita iminaku
There was a time when I myself, unconscious of Law, was alive; but when the Commandment was brought home to me, sin sprang into life, while I died!
10 Uduka na una din wori ubani ulai unin na da nin kul.
The very Commandment that should have meant Life I found to result in Death!
11 Kulapi na yiru kubi nan nyan Uduka kurusuzu, nkoni na molii kitenen uduke.
Sin took advantage of the Commandment to deceive me, and used it to bring about my Death.
12 Nani ushara di lau a uduka lau imon ichine nin chau. So urum in wa yita nin lai sa uduka, nene na uduka na da, kulapi koni na kuru ku fita immini nak,
And so the Law is holy, and each Commandment is also holy, and just, and good.
13 Nni nene imon ichine isoyi ukulla? Na nani b. Nani kulapi, bara in durso kulapi ari sai nan nyan ni mon igegeme. uni na dai nin kul bara nan nya induka kulapi na na nnzu kamang.
Did, then, a thing, which in itself was good, involve Death in my case? Heaven forbid! It was sin that involved Death; so that, by its use of what I regarded as good to bring about my Death, its true nature might appear; and in this way the Commandment showed how intensely sinful sin is.
14 Bara tiyiru o Usharawe di nin fip kutelle, vat nanin in di na kidow. Ina lewi udu lichi nan nya, kulapi.
We know that the Law is spiritual, but I am earthly — sold into slavery to Sin.
15 Bara iwon ile na idin suzuna in yirub. Imon ile na indi nin sun su. Na in nare indun sue ba imon ile nain nari inare indin sue.
I do not understand my own actions. For I am so far from habitually doing what I want to do, that I find myself doing the very thing that I hate.
16 Bara nani andi in din su iwon ile na in dimin suwe b. Men yinni nin woru ushara chau.
But when I do what I want not to do, I am admitting that the Law is right.
17 Bara nani na mere din suzu ininb, kulape na kudi in nan nya nigher.
This being so, the action is no longer my own, but that of Sin which is within me.
18 Bara nanin men nan nya kidowo nigh, na imon ichine duku b, bara usuu ni mon ichine di nmi vat nani na in wasa su ba.
I know that there is nothing good in me — I mean in my earthly nature. For, although it is easy for me to want to do right, to act rightly is not easy.
19 Bara imon ichine ile na in dinin su in s, indin su b, nani imon inanzang ile na in di nin suwa ba inere in din su.
I fail to do the good thing that I want to do, but the bad thing that I want not to do — that I habitually do.
20 Nene asan insuimon ile na indi nin su b, to nanere nane din in sue b, vat nane kulere na kudi nan nya nighe.
But, when I do the very thing that I want not to do, the action is no longer my own, but that of Sin which is within me.
21 In se nan nya ime likara lichine in di nin sun in su imon ichin, vat nanin imon inanzanghari di in me.
This, then, is the law that I find — when I want to do right, wrong presents itself!
22 In di nin liburi libo nin shara Kutelle bara uni ule na adi nan nya ni.
At heart I delight in the Law of God;
23 Mmini yene umon uka'idari ugan di niti niti kidowo nighe udi likum nin ukai'da upeseh nan nya kibinai nighe aminin yirai kuchin bara ukai'da kulapi ule udi niti niti nidowo nighe.
but throughout my body I see a different law, one which is in conflict with the law accepted by my reason, and which endeavours to make me a prisoner to that law of Sin which exists throughout my body.
24 Ki kimong nameng! Ghari ba tuchu menku nan nya kidawo nkul?
Miserable man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body that is bringing me to this Death?
25 Liburi libo kiti Kutelle bara Kirsti Yisa Chikila bit. Bara nani meng litini ghe in lon li kot mmaa dortu Ushara Kutell, in lon li kot tutung indortu uka'ida kulapi nin kidowo.
Thank God, there is deliverance through Jesus Christ, our Lord! Well then, for myself, with my reason I serve the Law of God, but with my earthly nature the Law of Sin.
