Romans 7
1 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?
Kapa kawizi, bakwangu (mukuti, nikwete kuwamba kubantu bezi mulao), mukuti mulao njoyendisa muntu inako yose yahala?
2 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.
Mukuti mwanakazi yosesetwe usuminwa chamulao kwamwihyabwe hebanachihala, kono mukwame hafwa, chazwisiwa kumulao wamasenso.
3 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.
Linuhape, cheyoinako mwihyabwe nachihala, heba nakahala ni wungi mukwame, kasupiwe musangu. Kono heba mwihyabwe ufwa, ulukuluhute kumulao, linu kena musangu, heba nakekala ni wungi mukwame.
4 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.
Chobulyo, bakwangu, mubatendwa bafwile kumulao chamubili wa Kiriste. Ichi chitendahala bulyo kuti mubemubantu bonke, linuhe, kozo yababuswa kubafwile, kuti tubike zichelantu za Ireeza.
5 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.
Mukuti hatubena munyama, itakazo zechive zibabusuluswa kubamwi bentu chamulao kuleta zichelantu kukati ifu.
6 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.
Konohanu tubalukululwa kumulao. Tubafwi kechina chibatusumine. Ichi china bulyo mukuti tusebeze mubuhya bwaluhuho imi isini mukusupala kweñolo.
7 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.”
Katuwambe nzi linu? Kana mulao uwo wine chive? Kanzi nikubebulyo hape. Nihakubabulyo, ninisana nibezibi chive, heba nikusana kubabi chamulao. Mukuti ninisana nibezibi kuti kulakaza chive hesi mulao hawuwamba, “kanzi ulakazi.”
8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Kono chive chiba hindi chibaka mumulao imi libaleti ilato lisali lyeniti kwangu. Mukuti hebakakwina mulao, chive chifwile.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
Mwinako yimwi nibakuhala ni kusena mulao, kono mulao hawiza, chive chichahala, imi ime chinafwa.
10 The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
Mulao ubakuleta kuhala ubaleti kufwa kwangu.
11 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Mukuti chive chibawani chibaka mumulao, imi chibanichengeleli. Kakuya chamulao chibanihayi.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
Chobulyo mulao ujolwele, ni taelo ijolwele, yinahande ni kushiyama.
13 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.
Kana chilotu chibabi ifu kwangu? Kanzi ni kubi bulyo. Kono chive, chibatondezi bubi mukati kabulotu, kubaleti kufwa kwangu. Ichi chibabi bulyo kuya chamulao, chive chiwola kuba chintu chibi chisawolwi kupimwa.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Mukuti twizi kuti mulao luhuho, kono ime ninyama. Nibawuzwa kuti nibeni mutanga wechive.
15 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.
Mukuti chonse chinitenda, kanichizuwisisi. Mukuti chonse chinisaka kutenda, kanichitendi, imi chinitoyete, nichitenda.
16 But if what I do not desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
Kono heba nitenda chinisasaki, ni zuminzana ni mulao kuti mulao mulotu.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Kono hanu kaichili ime yozitenda, kono chive chihala mukati kangu.
18 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.
Mukuti nizi kuti china kwangu, njichina munyamayangu, kakuhali chituchilotu. Mukuti itakazo yezilotu yina name, kono kaniwoli kuchitenda.
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
Mukuti zilotu zinisaka kutenda kanizitendi, kono zive zinisasaki kutenda, zinitenda.
20 But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Linuhanu haba nitenda chinisasaki kutenda, linu kayichili ime yochitenda, kono chive china name.
21 I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Niwana, linu, mazimo enakwangu akuti nisaka kutenda chilotu, kono chive initi china name.
22 For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,
Linu nitabela mulao we Ireeza ni muntu wina name.
23 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.
Kono nibona mazimo angi muzilama zenyamayangu. Zilwisana ni mazimo aboko kwangu. Ziletwa kusuminwa kwa mazimo echive ena muzilama zenyamayangu.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Nimuntu yasena ituso! Njeni yese anizwise mowu mubili wefu?
25 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.
Kono kulitumela kube kwa Ireeza ka Jesu Krisite Simwine wentu! Linuhanu, ime nimwine nisebeleza mulao wa Ireeza nengana. Nihakubabulyo, mwinyama nisebeleza mazimo echive.
