Erromatarrei 7

1 Ala eztaquiçue, anayeác, (ecen Leguea eçagutzen duteney minço natzaye) nola Legueac dominatione duen guiçonaren gainean vici den artean?

Or do not you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?

2 Ecen emazte ezcondua, senharra vici dueno obligatua da Legueaz: baina baldin senharra hil badadi, libre da senharraren leguetic.

For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

3 Beraz senharra vici deno adultera deithuren da, berce senhar baten emazte eguin badadi: baina senharra hil badadi legue hartaric libre da: hala non ezpaitate adultera baldin berce senhar baten emazte eguin badadi.

So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

4 Bada, ene anayeác, çuec-ere Legueari hil çaizquiote Christen gorputzean: berce, hiletaric resuscitatu den baten çaretençát: Iaincoari fructifica dieçogunçat.

Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

5 Ecen haraguian guinenean, bekatuén affectione Legueaz ciradenéc indar çuten gure membroetan, herioari fructificatzeco.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.

6 Baina orain Leguetic libre gara, hari hil içanic ceinetan hatzamanac baiquineunden: spirituzco berritassunetan cerbitza deçagunçát, eta ez letrazco çahartassunetan.

But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

7 Cer erranen dugu beraz? Leguea bekatu da? Guertha eztadila. Aitzitic bekatua eztut eçagutu vkan Legueaz baicen. Ecen eznuqueen eçagutu guthiciá baldin legueac erran ezpalu, Eztuc guthiciaturen.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

8 Baina bekatuac occasione harturic manamenduaz engendratu vkan du nitan guthicia gucia. Ecen Leguea gabe, hila da bekatua.

But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

9 Ecen ni vici nincén Leguea gabe noizpait: baina manamendua ethorri denean, bekatua berriz vitzen hassi içan da.

I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

10 Eta ni hil içan naiz: eta eriden içan da vicitzetaco ordenatu ceitadan manamendua, heriotara itzultzen çaitadala.

The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;

11 Ecen bekatuac occasione harturic, seducitu nau manamenduaz eta harçaz hil vkan nau.

for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

12 Bada Legueaz den becembatean hura saindu da, eta manamendua saindu eta iusto eta on.

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.

13 Beraz on den gauçá herio eguin içan çait? Guertha eztadila: aitzitic bekatuac, bekatu cela aguer ledinçát, on den gauçáz herioa engendratu vkan draut, bekatua excessiuoqui bekatore eguin ledin manamenduaz.

Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.

14 Ecen badaquigu Leguea spiritual dela: baina ni carnal naiz, bekatuaren azpira saldua.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

15 Ecen eguiten dudana, etzait on: ecen eztut cer nahi baitut, hura eguiten: baina ceri gaitz baitaritzat, hura eguiten dut.

For I do not understand what I am doing. For I do not practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

16 Bada baldin cer nahi ezpaitut, hura eguiten badut, consentitzen draucat Legueari, ecen ona dela.

But if what I do not desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

17 Bada orain guehiagoric eznaiz ni hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.

So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

18 Ecen badaquit eztela habitatzen nitan (erran nahi baita, ene haraguian) onic: ecen nahia bada nitan, baina onaren complitzea, eztut erideiten.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I do not find it doing that which is good.

19 Ecen nahi dudan vnguia eztut eguiten: baina nahi eztudan gaizquia eguiten dut.

For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.

20 Bada baldin cer nic nahi ezpaitut hura eguiten badut, eznaiz guehiagoric ni, hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.

But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

21 Erideiten dut beraz legue haur nitan, vnguia eguin nahi dudanean, ecen gaizquia datchetala niri.

I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

22 Ecen atseguin hartzen dut Iaincoaren Leguean barneco guiçonaz den becembatean:

For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,

23 Baina badacussat berce leguebat neure membroetan, ene adimenduco leguearen contra bataillatzen denic, eta ene membroetan den bekatuaren legueari gathibatzen nerauconic.

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

24 Helas guiçon miserablea ni, norc idoquiren nau herio hunetaco gorputzetic?

What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

25 Esquerrac emaiten drautzat Iaincoari Iesus Christ gure Iaunaz. Bada nic neurorrec adimenduaz cerbitzatzen dut Iaincoaren Leguea, baina haraguiaz bekatuaren leguea.

I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.
