Erromatarrei 7

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

Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person 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 married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning 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 is called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an 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 may bear 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 forth fruit for 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 released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, 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 should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said, "Do not covet."

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

But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. 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 became alive, 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, taking the opportunity 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, and 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 that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding 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 know 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 I do what I do not want to do, I agree with 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 the desire is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

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, to me, 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 in my inner being,

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.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
