Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Twambe buti? Tunochinkilila anembo na akubisya kuti luzyalo lukayindilile kuvula?
2 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
Takwelede kuba obo pe. Iswe nitwakafwa kuchibi, tunochikonzya buti kuchinopona kulinchicho.
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Tamuzi na kuti mbuli bingi mbubakabbabbatizigwa muliKkilisto Jesu bakabbabbatisigwa mulufulwakwe.
4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Twakavwikwa, alimwi, anguwe kwinda mulubbabbatizyo amulufu. Ezi zyakachitika nkambo kakuti Kkilisto wakabusigwa kuzwa kubafu mubulemu bwawisi, kuti aswebo tweende mubumi bupya.
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
Kuti twaba abujatane muchikozyano chalufu lwakwe, aboobo tatukoyoba abujatane mububuke bwakwe kubafu.
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
Tulizi ezi, kuti muntu wesu mukulukulu wakabambulwa anguwe kuti mubiliwazibi ukonzye kulobesegwa. Ezi zyakachitika kuti tutachibi bazike bachibi.
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
Oyoo wakafwa wakambwa kululama kumulandu wachibi.
8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
Pesi kuti twakafwa aKkilisito, tulasyoma kuti tuyokkala antomwe anguwe.
9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
Tulizi kuti Kkilisito mbakabusigwa kuzwa kubafu, takonzyi kufwa lubo pe; lufu taluchikwe bwami pe alinguwe.
10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
Nkabela mukujatikizya mulufu ndwakwafwa kamwi kwalyoonse. Nekuba boobo, buumi mbwapona uponena Leza.
11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Munzila ikozyene, anywebo mweelede kulibweza mbuli bafwide kuchibi, pesi baponede kuli Leza muliJesu Kkilisito.
12 Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Aboobo mutalekeli chibi kuti chimwendelezye mumibili yanu ifwika mutakasiki nkumulemeka zisusi zyanyama.
13 Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
Mutaabili zizo zyaanu kuchibi, kuti zibe zibelesyo zyakuchita bubi. Pele amulitondezye kuli Leza mbuli aabo bakeetwa kuzwa kulufu kuya kubuumu, amutondezye zizo zyanu kuliLeza mbuli zibelesyo zyakuchitya bululami.
14 For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
Mutazumini chibi kuti chimwendelezye. Nkambo nywe tamuli munsi amulawu pe, pesi munsi aluzyalo.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
Twambe buti lino? Tulakonzya kubisya na nkambo tatulimunsi amulawu, pesi munsi aluzyalo? Kutakabi boobo pe.
16 Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
Sa tamuzi na kuti naa mwalitondezya mbuli bazike mulibazike kuliyooyo ngomulemeka? Mukonzya kuba bazike kuchibi, chitola kulufu, naanka bazike kululemeko lutola kubululami.
17 But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
Pesi kupa kulumba kuliLeza! Nkambo mwakalibazike bachibi, pesi mwakalemeka kuzwa kumyoyo inzila yanjisyo eyo njimwakapegwa.
18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
Mwakangununwa kuzwa kuchibi akuchitwa balanda mubululami.
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
Ndambula mbuli muntu nkambo kabukompami bwanyama zyanu. Mbuli mbumwaka tondezya zizo zyanu mbulibazike kubusofwazi akubusendami kachizyala kubusendami kwindilililede, munzila imwi biyo, lino mutondezye zizo zyanu mbuli bazike kubululami akukusalazigwa.
20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
Nkambo nimwakachili bazike bachibi, mwakalangunukide kuzwa kubululami.
21 What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
Kuchindi echo njili michelo eyo njimwakali ayo kuzintu zikonzya kumufwisya bweeme? Nkambo mamanino azintu eezi ndufu.
