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?
Brethren, do you not know--for I am writing to people acquainted with the Law--that it is during our lifetime that we are subject to the Law?
2 Ame uwani ni luma a terin nin lesse nan nya nisilin niluma ywase ulesse nnku, abuntu nannya ni silin ni luma.
A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.
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.
This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.
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.
So, my brethren, to you also the Law died through the incarnation of Christ, that you might be wedded to Another, namely to Him who rose from the dead in order that we might yield fruit to God.
5 Kube na ti wadi nakidowo wanuzu kamang nan nya niti niti nidowo bite. In nuzum duka bara tinan nut tuno nono kul.
For whilst we were under the thraldom of our earthly natures, sinful passions-- made sinful by the Law--were always being aroused to action in our bodily faculties that they might yield fruit to 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 seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.
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,”
What follows? Is the Law itself a sinful thing? No, indeed; on the contrary, unless I had been taught by the Law, I should have known nothing of sin as sin. For instance, I should not have known what covetousness is, if the Law had not repeatedly said, "Thou shalt not covet."
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
Sin took advantage of this, and by means of the Commandment stirred up within me every kind of coveting; for apart from Law sin would be dead.
9 so uurum in wa yita nin bai sa Uduka ne uduka dak kulapi koni na kuru kurun fita iminaku
Once, apart from Law, I was alive, but when the Commandment came, sin sprang into life, and I died;
10 Uduka na una din wori ubani ulai unin na da nin kul.
and, as it turned out, the very Commandment which was to bring me life, brought me death.
11 Kulapi na yiru kubi nan nyan Uduka kurusuzu, nkoni na molii kitenen uduke.
For sin seized the advantage, and by means of the Commandment it completely deceived me, and also put me to death.
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,
So that the Law itself is holy, and the Commandment is holy, just 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.
Did then a thing which is good become death to me? No, indeed, but sin did; so that through its bringing about death by means of what was good, it might be seen in its true light as sin, in order that by means of the Commandment the unspeakable sinfulness of sin might be plainly shown.
14 Bara tiyiru o Usharawe di nin fip kutelle, vat nanin in di na kidow. Ina lewi udu lichi nan nya, kulapi.
For we know that the Law is a spiritual thing; but I am unspiritual--the slave, bought and sold, of 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.
For what I do, I do not recognize as my own action. What I desire to do is not what I do, but what I am averse to is 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 do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,
17 Bara nani na mere din suzu ininb, kulape na kudi in nan nya nigher.
and now it is no longer I that do these things, but the sin which has its home within me does them.
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 in me, that is, in my lower self, nothing good has its home; for while the will to do right is present with me, the power to carry it out is not.
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.
For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.
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.
But if I do that which I desire not to do, it can no longer be said that it is I who do it, but the sin which has its home within me does it.
21 In se nan nya ime likara lichine in di nin sun in su imon ichin, vat nanin imon inanzanghari di in me.
I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.
22 In di nin liburi libo nin shara Kutelle bara uni ule na adi nan nya ni.
For in my inmost self all my sympathy is with the Law of God;
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 discover within me a different Law at war with the Law of my understanding, and leading me captive to the Law which is everywhere at work in my body--the Law of sin.
24 Ki kimong nameng! Ghari ba tuchu menku nan nya kidawo nkul?
(Unhappy man that I am! who will rescue me from this death-burdened body?
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.
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!) To sum up then, with my understanding, I--my true self--am in servitude to the Law of God, but with my lower nature I am in servitude to the Law of sin.
