Erromatarrei 7

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

Knowe yee not, brethren, (for I speake to them that knowe the Lawe) that the Lawe hath dominion ouer a man as long as he liueth?

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

For the woman which is in subiection to a man, is bound by the Lawe to the man, while he liueth: but if the man bee dead, shee is deliuered from the lawe of the man.

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 man liueth, she taketh another man, she shalbe called an adulteresse: but if the man be dead, she is free from the Law, so that shee is not an adulteresse, though shee take another man.

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

So yee, my brethren, are dead also to the Law by ye body of Christ, that ye should be vnto an other, euen vnto him that is raised vp from the dead, that we should bring foorth fruite vnto God.

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

For when we were in ye flesh, the affections of sinnes, which were by the Law, had force in our members, to bring foorth fruit vnto death.

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

But now we are deliuered from the Lawe, he being dead in whom we were holden, that we should serue in newnesse of Spirite, and not in the oldnesse 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 Lawe sinne? God forbid. Nay, I knewe not sinne, but by the Lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Lawe had sayd, Thou shalt not lust.

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

But sinne tooke an occasion by ye commandement, and wrought in me all maner of concupiscence: for without the Lawe sinne is dead.

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

For I once was aliue, without the Law: but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued,

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

But I died: and the same commandement which was ordeined vnto life, was found to be vnto me vnto death.

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

For sinne tooke occasion by the commandement, and deceiued me, and thereby slewe me.

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

Wherefore the Lawe is holy, and that commandement is holy, and iust, 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.

Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid: but sinne, that it might appeare sinne, wrought death in me by that which is good, that sinne might be out of measure sinfull by the commandement.

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

For we knowe that the Law is spirituall, but I am carnall, solde vnder sinne.

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

For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.

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

If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good.

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

Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth 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, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.

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

For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.

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

Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me.

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

I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me.

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

For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man:

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

But I see another Law in my members, rebelling against the Lawe of my minde, and leading me captiue vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members.

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

O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from 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 thanke God through Iesus Christ our Lord. Then I my selfe in my minde serue the Lawe of God, but in my flesh the lawe of sinne.
