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?
Au samulumanyile, valokolo lwango (olwakhuva nijova na vanu avalumanyile urulagero), khukhuta urulagero lukhundo ngoja umunu vobado inkafu?
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.
Olwakhuva udala avatoliwe akungiwe nululagelo khwa gosi va mwene, vunkafu mave ogosi va mwene ifiwa iva avikhilwe ukhuva mwavukhe ukhukhuma na nurulagero lwa khutolana.
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.
Nevetwita, osekhe ugosi va mwene witama, inave nogosi uyunge, ikhelangiwa indigu, inave ogosi va mwene afwele, iva mwuvukhe nululagero, evo siva ndigu angave itama nu gosi uyunge.
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.
Ulwakhuva, valokolo lwango, umwe mwavombiwe ukhuva wafwe nurulagero khu njila iya Klisite. Evilendete uhutama pupaninie nu ninoo, khu mwene uyakhanchukhile ukhukhuma khu vufwe ili tuwesye ukhung'olela u Nguluve isekhe.
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.
Ulwakhuva vutukhale pa hali iyambele, uvunogwe uwambivi fikhasi simwile ifikhancho fweto khunjila iya lugalero nukhu vuholela uvufwe isekhe.
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.
Ulwakhuva tudenduliwe ukhukhuma mu rulagelo. Tuyefwelile iyekhube jekhana. Ili tuvoese ukhuvombekhe uvupya mwa mepo, nufwe uwahatale uwa vusimbe.
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.”
Tutekhekhi? ululagero ulwa mbivi? La hasha. Inave evoo, sananikhulumanya imbivi, waleusite ukhuva munjila iya lulagero. ulwakhuva sananikhulumanya ukhuno gwa inave ululagero salwalwinchoova, “Olekhe okhonogwa.”
8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Olwakhova imbivi nchapeviwe indagero nu khuleta igati indyu ne khela namna iya khunogwa. Ulwakhuva imbivi khesita rulagelo nchifwile.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
Nayune nale mwumi pavulongonchi uwa ndagero, upuyainchilem dagero, imbivi nchapewiwe uwumi, one nafwe.
10 The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
Ululagero ululwale lwa khukhu khelekhela uwumi lwapendwi khe ukhuva vufwe khulwune.
11 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Ulwakhuva imbivi nchapeviwe akhavalelo pa lulagero ulwa vudesi. Ukhugendela ululagero, nafwile.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
Leno ululagero luvalanche, ulwakhuva indagero nchivalanchiwe, yalweli nu vusalaama.
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.
Ulwa khuva iyiyale nonu khulwune wale vufwe khulwune? Isite ukhuva eve mwee. Ulwakhuva imbivi, ili yevonekhe ukhuta mbivivi yinogiwa yegendele munonu, yevekhu uwufu igati ndyune. Yale ukhugendela ululagero imbivi nchikhwendelela ukhuva sinchoo.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Ulwa khuva tulumanyile ukhuta imbivi nchikhuma nukhutengulile munumbula ulwakhuva one nelemunu va mbele. Nigonchiwe pasi pa vulongonchi mwambivi.
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.
Ulwakhuva ilenivomba, sanikhweliwa liwa hoeli. Ulwakhuva eleninogwa ukhuvomba, sanivomba, na ele elekalalile, lwuelyo elenivomba.
16 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
Ulwakhuva nengavombe elesani nogwa, nikhwedekhana nululagero ukhuta ululagero lunonu.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Ulwakhuva sio nene ne nikhogo avombela ago, ulwakhuva nchu mbivi inchinchilekhulwune igati.
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.
Ulwa khuva nelumanyile ukhuta igati ndyune, ila sanikhule vombela.
19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.
Ulwakhuva elinonu eleninogwa soni khulevombela, ila elivivi ele saninogwa lwunikhulevombela.
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.
Leno kama nivomba elesanino gwa, sinene yune nikhulevomba, ulwakhuva yu yila embivi iyeyitama igati ndyune.
21 I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Nelumanyile, mwele indagero igati ndyune iyakhunogwa ukhuvomba amanonu, ulwakhuva uvovivi nuvule igati ndyunee.
22 For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,
Ulwakhuva nikhurukhovokhela ululagero ulwa Nguluve igati ndyune.
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.
Ulwakhuva nivona imbinu inchiilivonge muvikhanjo ifya mbele ugwango. Yietova hubancha embombe enya eyahekhara lwango. Yikhumbikha une neledovwava mbivi inchili vikhancho ifyambele gwango.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Une nele munu va lukuto! veve ni uyaha ikhonyokhora nu mbile ogu ugwa vufwe?
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.
Inave ukhu mwale khwa Nguluve nu Yesu Klisite umbaha vetu! Leno. One nemwene nulukhala lwango nikho lovombela ululagelo ulwa Nguluve. Pakhuva, khumbile nikhunchivombela embombo imbivi.
