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?
Achalongo achinjangu, sambano ngukunguluka ni ŵandu ŵakugamanyilila Malajisyo. Ngankumanyilila kuti lilajisyo likuntawala mundu aŵaga jwanjumi?
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.
Tujile jwankongwe jwalombekwe ataŵikwe ni lilajisyo mu utame wakwe ni ŵankwakwe, ŵankwakwe aŵaga jwanjumi. Nambo ajasikaga ŵankwakwe, jwankongwe jo chaaŵe jwangataŵikwa ni lilajisyo lya ulombela.
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.
Nipele, iŵaga chalombekwe ni jwannume jwine ŵankwakwe ali jwanjumi, jwankongwe jo chaŵilanjikwe jwa chikululu. Nambo ajasikaga ŵankwakwe, jwankongwe jo nganataŵikwa ni malajisyo, ni iŵaga akulombekwa ni jwannume jwine, jwelejo nganaŵa jwa chikululu.
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.
Achalongo achinjangu, iyoyo peyo ŵanyamwe nganimma paasi pa Malajisyo, pakuŵa mwalumbikene ni chiilu cha Kilisito ni malumbo gakwe gali yele, Kilisito paŵawile ni ŵanyamwe mwawile pamo nawo. Sambano nli ŵakwe ŵelewo ŵaŵasyuchile kuti mwatumichile chambone Akunnungu.
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.
Pakuŵa patwatemi nkulongoswa ni tama syangalumbana sitwapagwile nasyo, tama sisyaliji nkuchiswa ni malajisyo, syapanganyisye masengo mu iilu yetu ni yose itwatendaga yamalile mu chiwa.
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.
Nambo sambano tulechelelwe kutyochela mu Malajisyo gagatutaŵile nti ŵakutaŵikwa, pakuŵa twawile pamo ni Kilisito. Sambano tukwatumichila Akunnungu mu umi wa sambano wa Mbumu, ngaŵa nti kalakala kwa Malajisyo gagalembekwe.
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.”
Nipele, ana tujileje uli? Malajisyo gali sambi? Ngwamba! Nambo pangali Malajisyo ngangasimanyilile sambi sili chichi. Pakuŵa ngangaimanye kuti kulajila kuli kuleŵa, iŵaga Malajisyo ngagakasale, “Kasinlajila.”
8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Nambo kutyochela ni makanyo go, sambi syapatile lipesa lya kwimusya tama jangalumbana jajili mwa uneji. Pakuŵa pangali Malajisyo sambi sili chindu chewe.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
Kundanda ko naliji jwanjumi pangagamanyilila Malajisyo, nambo pagaiche makanyo, sambi syajenele mu utame wangu, noneji naliji mpela jwammwe.
10 The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
Ni naiweni kuti makanyo gagasachilwe kunyigalila umi, kwaune ganyigalile chiwa.
11 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Pakuŵa sambi syapatile lipesa kwa litala lya makanyo galagala, syanambwisye ni kumulaga.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
Nipele Malajisyo gali gamaswela ni makanyo nombe nago gali gamaswela ni gakwanonyelesya Akunnungu ni gali gambone.
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.
Ana ni kuti chelecho chichaliji chambone chinyichisye chiwa? Ngwamba. Nambo sambi, pakuti siwoneche kuti sili sambi sisyene, sitesile achila chambone chinyichisye chiwa. Kwayele sambi kwa litala lya Makanyo syalosisye pangasisika sambi syasitite kuŵa syangalumbana kwannope.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Tukumanyilila kuti Malajisyo gali nkati indu ya chimbumu ni une nganiŵa mundu jwachimbumu, jusumichikwe nti kapolo mu sambi.
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.
Pakuŵa nganguchimanyilila chinguchitenda, ligongo achila chinguchisaka nganguchitenda nambo achila chinganguchisaka kuchitenda chelecho ni chinguchitenda.
16 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
Nipele, iŵaga nguchitenda achila chinganguchisaka kuchitenda, ngwitichisya kuti Malajisyo gala gali gambone.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Nipele nganima une nansyene junguchitenda chelecho, nambo asila sambi syasikutama mwangu une.
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.
Ngumanyilila kuti nkati mwangu une, malumbo gakwe mu chiilu changu cha sambi ngachikutaama chindu chambone. Ligongo namuno ngusaka kuchitenda chambone ngangukombola.
19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.
Pakuŵa chambone chinguchisaka nganguchitenda, nambo changalumbana chinganguchisaka kuchitenda, chelecho ni chinguchitenda.
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.
Nipele, iŵaga nguchitenda achila chinganguchisaka kuchitenda, nganima une junguchitenda, nambo asila sambi syasikutama nkati mwangu ni syasikuchitenda chelecho.
21 I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Nipele, nachiweni chindu chi chikupanganya masengo nkati mwangu, pakuŵa pangusaka kuchitendekanya chambone, kutenda ungalumbana ni unguusagula.
22 For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,
Pakuŵa mu ntima mwangu ngugasengwela Malajisyo ga Akunnungu.
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.
Nambo ngugaona malajisyo gane mu chiilu changu gachimenyanaga ni ng'anisyo syangu. Ni gelego gakundendekasya meje jwantaŵikwe ni malajisyo ga sambi syasikupanganya masengo mu chiilu mwangu.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Kulaga kwangu une! Ana ŵaani ŵachangulupusye ndyoche mu chiilu chachikunongosya mu chiwa?
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.
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu ŵakuitendekanya yeleyo kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Yeleyi ni yandi une, kwa lunda lwangu ngugatumichila malajisyo ga Akunnungu, nambo kwa tama syangu syangalumbana sya chiilu simbagwile nasyo, ngugatumichila malajisyo ga sambi.
