Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Ha, kia pehea he korero ma tatou? Kia mau tonu oti tatou ki te hara, kia hua ai te aroha noa?
2 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
Kahore rapea. Ko tatou kua whakatupapakutia nei ki te hara, me pehea tatou e noho tonu atu ai ano i roto i taua hara?
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Kahore ianei koutou i mohio, ko tatou kua iriiria nei ki roto ki a Karaiti Ihu, kua iriiria ki roto ki tona matenga?
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.
Na kua tanumia ngatahitia tatou me ia ki roto ki te matenga, he mea na te iriiri: kia rite ai ki a te Karaiti i whakaarahia ake nei i te hunga mate e te kororia o te Matua, waihoki ko tatou kia haere i roto i te houtanga o te ora.
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
Ki te mea hoki kua honoa tatou ki a ia i runga i te ahua o tona matenga, ka honoa ano tatou ki a ia i runga i te ahua o tona aranga:
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.
E mohio ana hoki ki tenei, kua ripekatia ngatahitia me ia to tatou tangata tawhito, kia hemo ai te tinana o te hara, kia mutu ai to tatou ponongatanga ki te hara;
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
Ko te mea hoki kua mate, kua mawheto ia i te hara.
8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
Ki te mea kua mate tahi tatou ko te Karaiti, e whakapono ana tatou e ora tahi ano tatou me ia:
9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
E matau ana hoki tatou, ka ara nei a te Karaiti i te hunga mate, heoi ano ona matenga; kahore he kingitanga o te mate ki a ia a mua tonu atu.
10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
Ko tona matenga hoki i mate ai ia, he mate kotahi ki te hara: ko tona oranga ia, he ora ki te Atua.
11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Waihoki mahara iho ki a koutou, kua whakatupapakutia koutou ki te hara, e ora ana ia ki te Atua, i roto i a Ihu Karaiti.
12 Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Mo konei ra aua te hara e kingi i roto i to koutou tinana mate, e ngohengohe ai koutou ki ta nga hiahia poke o taua tinana nei:
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.
Kaua hoki e tukua o koutou wahi ki te hara hei kaimahi i te he: engari tukua atu koutou ki te Atua, he hunga kua ora i roto i te hunga mate, me o koutou wahi hoki hei kaimahi i te tika ki te Atua.
14 For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
E kore hoki te hara e waiho hei rangatira mo koutou: ehara i te mea kei raro koutou i te ture, engari kei raro ke i te aroha noa.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
He aha koia? kia hara oti tatou, no te mea ehara tatou i te ture, engari no te aroha noa? Kahore rapea.
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?
Kahore oti koutou i matau, ki te tuku koutou i a koutou ki tetahi hei pononga, he pononga koutou na tera kua ngohengohe na koutou ki tana; na te hara ranei, a mate iho, na te ngohengohe ranei, a tika ake?
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.
Ko tenei me whakawhetai ki te Atua, ahakoa he pononga koutou na te hara i mua, kua meinga o koutou ngakau kia ngohengohe ki te ako i whakaakona ai koutou;
18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
Na ka atea nei koutou i te hara, ka meinga koutou he pononga na te tika.
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.
He kupu tangata tenei naku, na te ngoikore o to koutou kikokiko: na i tukua ra o koutou wahi hei pononga ma te poke, ma te tutu, ki te mahi tutu; waihoki me tuku o koutou wahi aianei hei pononga ma te tika, puta ake he tapu.
20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
I a koutou hoki e pononga ana ki te hara, e atea ana koutou i te tika.
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.
Na i taua wa he aha nga hua i a koutou o nga mea e whakama na koutou inaianei? he mate hoki te mutunga o aua mea.
22 But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Tena ko tenei ka atea nei koutou i te hara, a ka meinga hei pononga ma te Atua, ko nga hua ki a koutou he tapu, a, ko te tukunga iho he ora tonu. (aiōnios g166)
