Roma 6
1 I yaghari tima bellu? tili ubun in su na lapi bara ubolu Kutellẹ tinan gbardang ghe?
What are we to say, then? Are we to continue to sin, in order that God’s loving kindness may be multiplied?
2 nauwa sonanin ba. Arik a lena tinna kuzu nin nidowo na lapi?
Heaven forbid! We became dead to sin, so how can we go on living in it?
3 Naiyiru oh ingbradang na le na ina ubaptisma nami ligowe ni kristi Yisu iwa suminuubatisma nani udu ulai ba?
Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?
4 I wa kassu nari ninghe kuh in baptisma nannyan ku, nafor na iwa fiya kirsti nanere arik wang ma chinu nan nyan in lai upese,
Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father’s power, so we also may live a new life.
5 timunuati nin ghe nafo nin kulme tima kuru timunu ati nin ghe nin fitu me.
If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we will also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.
6 Tiyeru nene iwa bana kidowo bite nin ghe barn, inan molo kinanzang kin kulapi
We recognize the truth that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the body, the stronghold of sin, might be rendered powerless, so that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7 Ulena aku aso unan sali kulapi kiti kulapi.
For the man who has so died has been pronounced righteous and released from sin.
8 Asa tiku nin Kirsti, tiyinna ti ma kuru tiso ligowe nin ghe.
And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ’s death, we will also share his life.
9 Ti yiru anfiya kisti ku nan nya kissek tutung na aduu nan nya nan kul ba. Naukul du nin likara kitime ba
We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.
10 Bara ukule na awaku kiti kulapi, awa ku urumari chas bara vat titun ulai na adimun asosin bara Kutellẹ-ari.
For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the life that he now lives, he lives for God.
11 Anun wang; yiran ayimine anan kul kulapi in lon likot anan lai kite Kutellẹ nin Kirsti Yisa.
So let it be with you – regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.
12 Bara nanin niwa yinin kulapi nodin nidowo mine nin kul ba bara iwa yinin nin ntok kidowo
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.
13 Ni wa ni niti niti dowo mine kiti kulapi iso imongkata kulap, ba anun Kutellẹ nidowo min, nafo ana nuzu nannya niti niti ulam bara Kutell.
Do not offer any part of your bodies to sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.
14 Ni wa yinin alapi se likara kitene mine ba, bar na anun du sa in kana, na ti di nan nyan duka ba bara ti di nan nyan mbolu Kutellẹ.
For sin will not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of love.
15 Anin iyang? tili ubu n nin na lapi bara na ti du nan nyan duka ba barna ti di nan nyan mbolu Kutellẹ? Na uwa so nanib.
What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!
16 Na iyiru ule na i nakpa atimine, nan nya lichin in lanzu in liru iso achin in le na idin lanzu ulirume sakulapi udu uku, sa ulanzu inliru udu anan sali na lapia?
Surely you know that when you offer yourselves as servants, to obey anyone, you are the servants of the person whom you obey, whether the service be a service to sin which leads to death, or a service to duty which leads to righteousness.
17 Vat nani liburi libo kiti Kutellẹ, I wa di achin kulap, ina nin yinna nin nibinai udursuzu kiti kanga na ina ni minu.
God be thanked that, though you were once servants of sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed.
18 Ina nutun munu nan nya tikanchi kulapi, ina ni so achin fiwu Kutellẹ. 19Indin su uliru nafo unit nin sali likara nidowomine. Nafo na ina nidowo mine nafo achin lisosin linanzang linanzan. Nene nakpan nitiniti nidowo mine nafo achin infiwu Kutellẹ nan nya lisosin limang.
Set free from the control of sin, you became servants to righteousness.
19 kubi kona iwadi achin kulafi na iwa di nan nya na nit alauba.
I can but speak as people do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of righteousness, which leads to holiness.
20 Ku yapin kunatari iwa dumun kube nan nya nimon ile na ne nene idin lanzu inchin muna?
While you were still servants of sin, you were free as regards righteousness.
21 Bara kumat ni leli uwonne vat ukulari
But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is death.
22 Nafo nene na na inan nutun munu tikanchi kulapi inanin so achin Kutelle, nono kumat mine in so nin lau tutun imalin mine ulai sa ligan. (aiōnios g166)
But now that you have been set free from the control of sin, and have become servants to God, the fruit that you reap is an ever increasing holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
