< Romans 7 >

1 Or don’t 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?
ܐܘ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܠܝܕܥܝ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܝ
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.
ܐܝܟ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܒܒܥܠܗ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܝ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬ ܒܥܠܗ ܐܬܚܪܪܬ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܒܥܠܗ
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.
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܝ ܒܥܠܗ ܬܩܦ ܠܓܒܪ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܓܝܪܬܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܒܥܠܗ ܐܬܚܪܪܬ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܓܝܪܬܐ ܐܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ
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.
ܘܗܫܐ ܐܚܝ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܝܬܬܘܢ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܒܦܓܪܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܬܬܠܘܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ
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.
ܟܕ ܒܒܤܪܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܐܒܐ ܕܚܛܗܐ ܕܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܬܚܦܛܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗܕܡܝܢ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܡܘܬܐ
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.
ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܒܛܠܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܡܝܬܢ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܚܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܕܢܫܡܫ ܡܟܝܠ ܒܚܕܬܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܬܝܩܘܬ ܟܬܒܐ
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܡܪܝܢܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܚܤ ܐܠܐ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܝܠܦܬ ܐܠܐ ܒܝܕ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܓܬܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܬܪܓ
8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
ܘܒܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܠܗ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܥܠܬܐ ܘܓܡܪܬ ܒܝ ܟܠ ܪܓܐ ܒܠܥܕ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܓܝܪ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܘܬ
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܝ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܚܝܬ ܘܐܢܐ ܡܝܬܬ
10 The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
ܘܐܫܬܟܚ ܠܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܚܝܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ
11 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
ܚܛܝܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܕܐܫܟܚܬ ܠܗ ܒܝܕ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܛܥܝܬܢܝ ܘܒܗ ܩܛܠܬܢܝ
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
ܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܕܝܢ ܩܕܝܫ ܗܘ ܘܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܕܝܫ ܗܘ ܘܟܐܝܢ ܘܛܒ
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.
ܛܒܬܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܝ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܗܘܬ ܚܤ ܐܠܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܬܬܚܙܐ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܒܛܒܬܐ ܓܡܪܬ ܒܝ ܡܘܬܐ ܕܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܬܬܚܝܒ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܪܘܚ ܗܘ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܤܪ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܙܒܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ
15 For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
ܡܕܡ ܕܤܥܪ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܤܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ
16 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܤܥܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܥܡܪܐ ܒܝ
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.
ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܥܡܪܐ ܒܝ ܗܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܒܤܪܝ ܛܒܬܐ ܕܐܨܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܛܒܬܐ ܦܫܝܩ ܠܝ ܕܐܤܥܪܝܗ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ
19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܛܒܬܐ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥܒܕ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ
20 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܥܡܪܐ ܒܝ
21 I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܫܠܡ ܠܪܥܝܢܝ ܗܘ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܛܒܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܝܫܬܐ ܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܝ ܠܝ
22 For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,
ܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܡܘܤܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܠܓܘ
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.
ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܒܗܕܡܝ ܕܡܩܪܒ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܪܥܝܢܝ ܘܫܒܐ ܠܝ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗܕܡܝ
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
ܕܘܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܢܘ ܢܦܨܝܢܝ ܡܢ ܦܓܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ
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.
ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܕ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܫܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܒܪܥܝܢܝ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܒܤܪܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬܝ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ
