< Roma 7 >

1 Sana iyiru ba linuana [in din liru nin na nit ale na yiru uduka] bara uduka din dortu nin nit nan nya na yirin in lai me?
Brothers and sisters, (I'm speaking here to people who know the law), don't you see that the law has authority over someone only while they're alive?
2 Ame uwani ni luma a terin nin lesse nan nya nisilin niluma ywase ulesse nnku, abuntu nannya ni silin ni luma.
For example, a married woman is bound by the law to her husband while he's alive, but if he dies, she's released from this legal obligation to him.
3 Bara nan, nan nya kubi ko na ulsse di nin lai asa anuzu asu iluma nin mong ima yichi ghe ukilak. Asa ulesse nku anuzu ni silin nilumea na du ikilaki asa su ilumama nin mong uni.
So if she lives with another man while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery. However, if her husband dies and then she marries another man, she wouldn't be guilty of adultery.
4 Bara nanere nwa na nin i wa ti munu anan kul bar uduka nan nyan Kirst, bara ina dofuzonu ligowe nin nin nat, bara ame, naiwafiya ghe nan nya nan ku, bara bara nan macha nono fiu Kutelle.
In the same way, my friends, you've become dead to the law through the body of Christ, and so now you belong to someone else—Christ, who was raised from the dead so that we could live a productive life for God.
5 Kube na ti wadi nakidowo wanuzu kamang nan nya niti niti nidowo bite. In nuzum duka bara tinan nut tuno nono kul.
While we were controlled by old nature, our sinful desires (as revealed by the law) were at work within us and resulted in death.
6 Nene ina nutun nari nan nyan duk a tinani naku nan nyan in chn bite na ti wa kif, bara ti nan su kata kapese nan nya in fip Kutelle, na nan nya in chin ukuse ba.
But now we've been set free from the law, and have died to what kept us in chains, so that we can serve in the newness of the spirit and not the old letter of the law.
7 Ani iyari tima belle nene? Ani uduk kulapiari litime? Na uwa so nanin b. Vat nin nan, na inwa na yinin kulapi ba, sasana uduka b. Na inwa yiru iyiru iyari kunaniyizi sasa na uduke na bellin b, “Naubasu kunaniyizi ba,”
So what do we conclude? That the law is sin? Of course not! I wouldn't have known what sin was unless the law defined it. I wouldn't have realized that wanting to have other people's things for myself was wrong without the law that says, “Don't desire for yourself what belongs to someone else.”
8 Tutun kulapi nayiru kubi nan nya in duka unare na dak nin vat intok kulapi nan nya nin. Tutun andi na Uduka di ba kulapin nkul
But through this commandment sin found a way to stir up in me all kinds of selfish desires—for without law, sin is dead.
9 so uurum in wa yita nin bai sa Uduka ne uduka dak kulapi koni na kuru kurun fita iminaku
I used to live without realizing what the law really meant, but when I understood the implications of that commandment, then sin came back to life, and I died.
10 Uduka na una din wori ubani ulai unin na da nin kul.
I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life brought death instead,
11 Kulapi na yiru kubi nan nyan Uduka kurusuzu, nkoni na molii kitenen uduke.
because sin found a way through the commandment to deceive me, and used the commandment to kill me!
12 Nani ushara di lau a uduka lau imon ichine nin chau. So urum in wa yita nin lai sa uduka, nene na uduka na da, kulapi koni na kuru ku fita immini nak,
However, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, right, and good.
13 Nni nene imon ichine isoyi ukulla? Na nani b. Nani kulapi, bara in durso kulapi ari sai nan nyan ni mon igegeme. uni na dai nin kul bara nan nya induka kulapi na na nnzu kamang.
Now would something that is good kill me? Of course not! But sin shows itself to be sin by using good to cause my death. So by means of the commandment, it's revealed how evil sin really is.
14 Bara tiyiru o Usharawe di nin fip kutelle, vat nanin in di na kidow. Ina lewi udu lichi nan nya, kulapi.
We realize that the law is spiritual; but I'm all-too-human, a slave to sin.
15 Bara iwon ile na idin suzuna in yirub. Imon ile na indi nin sun su. Na in nare indun sue ba imon ile nain nari inare indin sue.
I really don't understand what I'm doing. I do the things I don't want to do, and what I hate doing, that's what I do!
16 Bara nani andi in din su iwon ile na in dimin suwe b. Men yinni nin woru ushara chau.
But if I'm saying that I do what I don't want to, this shows that I admit the law is good and right.
17 Bara nani na mere din suzu ininb, kulape na kudi in nan nya nigher.
So it's no longer me who does this, but sin living in me—
18 Bara nanin men nan nya kidowo nigh, na imon ichine duku b, bara usuu ni mon ichine di nmi vat nani na in wasa su ba.
for I know that there's nothing good in me as far as my sinful human nature is concerned. Even though I want to do good, I'm just not able to do it.
19 Bara imon ichine ile na in dinin su in s, indin su b, nani imon inanzang ile na in di nin suwa ba inere in din su.
The good I want to do, I don't do; while the evil I don't want to do, that's what I end up doing!
20 Nene asan insuimon ile na indi nin su b, to nanere nane din in sue b, vat nane kulere na kudi nan nya nighe.
However, if I'm doing what I don't want to, then it's no longer me doing it, but sin living in me.
21 In se nan nya ime likara lichine in di nin sun in su imon ichin, vat nanin imon inanzanghari di in me.
This is the principle I've discovered: if I want to do what's good, evil is always there too.
22 In di nin liburi libo nin shara Kutelle bara uni ule na adi nan nya ni.
My inner self is delighted with God's law,
23 Mmini yene umon uka'idari ugan di niti niti kidowo nighe udi likum nin ukai'da upeseh nan nya kibinai nighe aminin yirai kuchin bara ukai'da kulapi ule udi niti niti nidowo nighe.
but I see a different law at work within me that is at war with the law my mind has decided to follow, making me a prisoner of the law of sin that is within me.
24 Ki kimong nameng! Ghari ba tuchu menku nan nya kidawo nkul?
I'm totally miserable! Who will rescue me from this body that's causing my death? Thank God—for he does this through Jesus Christ our Lord!
25 Liburi libo kiti Kutelle bara Kirsti Yisa Chikila bit. Bara nani meng litini ghe in lon li kot mmaa dortu Ushara Kutell, in lon li kot tutung indortu uka'ida kulapi nin kidowo.
Here's the situation: while I myself choose with my mind to obey God's law, my human nature obeys the law of sin.
