Erromatarrei 7
1 Ala eztaquiçue, anayeác, (ecen Leguea eçagutzen duteney minço natzaye) nola Legueac dominatione duen guiçonaren gainean vici den artean?
Know ye not, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who are acquainted with the Law, ) that the Law hath dominion over a man only as long as he liveth?
2 Ecen emazte ezcondua, senharra vici dueno obligatua da Legueaz: baina baldin senharra hil badadi, libre da senharraren leguetic.
For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is released from the law which bound her to him.
3 Beraz senharra vici deno adultera deithuren da, berce senhar baten emazte eguin badadi: baina senharra hil badadi legue hartaric libre da: hala non ezpaitate adultera baldin berce senhar baten emazte eguin badadi.
So then, if while her husband is living she connect herself with another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband die, she is no longer bound by that law, so that she will not be an adulteress, though she connect herself with another man.
4 Bada, ene anayeác, çuec-ere Legueari hil çaizquiote Christen gorputzean: berce, hiletaric resuscitatu den baten çaretençát: Iaincoari fructifica dieçogunçat.
So then, my brethren, ye also were slain to the Law through the body of Christ, that ye might be connected with another, even with him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God.
5 Ecen haraguian guinenean, bekatuén affectione Legueaz ciradenéc indar çuten gure membroetan, herioari fructificatzeco.
For when we were in the flesh, the affections of sins, which were through the Law, were working in our members to bear fruit unto death.
6 Baina orain Leguetic libre gara, hari hil içanic ceinetan hatzamanac baiquineunden: spirituzco berritassunetan cerbitza deçagunçát, eta ez letrazco çahartassunetan.
But now we are delivered from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, that we might serve in the new life of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the letter.
7 Cer erranen dugu beraz? Leguea bekatu da? Guertha eztadila. Aitzitic bekatua eztut eçagutu vkan Legueaz baicen. Ecen eznuqueen eçagutu guthiciá baldin legueac erran ezpalu, Eztuc guthiciaturen.
What then shall we say? Is the Law sin? God forbid! But I should not have known sin, except by the Law; for I should not have known sinful desire, unless the Law had said, “Thou shalt not covet.”
8 Baina bekatuac occasione harturic manamenduaz engendratu vkan du nitan guthicia gucia. Ecen Leguea gabe, hila da bekatua.
But sin, seizing the opportunity, wrought in me by means of the commandment all manner of sinful desire; for without the Law sin is dead.
9 Ecen ni vici nincén Leguea gabe noizpait: baina manamendua ethorri denean, bekatua berriz vitzen hassi içan da.
And I, apart from the Law, was once alive; but when the commandment came, sin came to life again, and I died;
10 Eta ni hil içan naiz: eta eriden içan da vicitzetaco ordenatu ceitadan manamendua, heriotara itzultzen çaitadala.
and the very commandment whose design was life, I found to issue in death.
11 Ecen bekatuac occasione harturic, seducitu nau manamenduaz eta harçaz hil vkan nau.
For sin, seizing the opportunity, deceived me through the commandment, and through it slew me.
12 Bada Legueaz den becembatean hura saindu da, eta manamendua saindu eta iusto eta on.
So that the Law is holy, and the commandment holy, and right, and good.
13 Beraz on den gauçá herio eguin içan çait? Guertha eztadila: aitzitic bekatuac, bekatu cela aguer ledinçát, on den gauçáz herioa engendratu vkan draut, bekatua excessiuoqui bekatore eguin ledin manamenduaz.
Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be it! but sin; that it might become manifest as sin, causing death to me by means of that which is good; that sin by means of the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.
14 Ecen badaquigu Leguea spiritual dela: baina ni carnal naiz, bekatuaren azpira saldua.
For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, a slave sold to sin.
15 Ecen eguiten dudana, etzait on: ecen eztut cer nahi baitut, hura eguiten: baina ceri gaitz baitaritzat, hura eguiten dut.
For I know not what I do. For I do not what I would, but I do what I hate.
16 Bada baldin cer nahi ezpaitut, hura eguiten badut, consentitzen draucat Legueari, ecen ona dela.
But if I do what I would not, I assent to the Law that it is good.
17 Bada orain guehiagoric eznaiz ni hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.
Now, however, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 Ecen badaquit eztela habitatzen nitan (erran nahi baita, ene haraguian) onic: ecen nahia bada nitan, baina onaren complitzea, eztut erideiten.
For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good thing; for to desire is present with me, but not to perform that which is good.
19 Ecen nahi dudan vnguia eztut eguiten: baina nahi eztudan gaizquia eguiten dut.
For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Bada baldin cer nic nahi ezpaitut hura eguiten badut, eznaiz guehiagoric ni, hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.
But if I do what I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 Erideiten dut beraz legue haur nitan, vnguia eguin nahi dudanean, ecen gaizquia datchetala niri.
I find then that there is a law to me, that when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 Ecen atseguin hartzen dut Iaincoaren Leguean barneco guiçonaz den becembatean:
For I delight in the Law of God, as to the inward man;
23 Baina badacussat berce leguebat neure membroetan, ene adimenduco leguearen contra bataillatzen denic, eta ene membroetan den bekatuaren legueari gathibatzen nerauconic.
but I perceive another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Helas guiçon miserablea ni, norc idoquiren nau herio hunetaco gorputzetic?
Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death?
25 Esquerrac emaiten drautzat Iaincoari Iesus Christ gure Iaunaz. Bada nic neurorrec adimenduaz cerbitzatzen dut Iaincoaren Leguea, baina haraguiaz bekatuaren leguea.
Thanks be to God, [[who hath delivered me]] through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, I, the same person, with the mind serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
