Erromatarrei 7
1 Ala eztaquiçue, anayeác, (ecen Leguea eçagutzen duteney minço natzaye) nola Legueac dominatione duen guiçonaren gainean vici den artean?
Or are ye ignorant, brethren, —for unto them that understand the law am I speaking, that, the law, hath lordship over a men 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, unto her living husband is bound by law; but, if her husband have died, she hath received a full release from the law of her husband.
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.
Hence then, her husband being alive, an adulteress, shall she be called—if she become another man’s, but, if the husband have died, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she become another man’s.
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 made dead unto the law through the body of the Christ, to the end ye might become another’s—his who from among the dead was raised, in order that we might bring forth fruit unto God.
5 Ecen haraguian guinenean, bekatuén affectione Legueaz ciradenéc indar çuten gure membroetan, herioari fructificatzeco.
For, when we were in the flesh, the susceptibilities of sins which were through the law, used to be energized in our members unto the bringing forth of 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 have received full release from the law, by dying [in that] wherein we used to be held fast, so that we should be doing service—in newness of spirit and not in obsoleteness of 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? Far be it! On the contrary, I had not discovered, sin, save through law, for even, of coveting, I had not been aware if, the law, had not kept on saying—Thou shall not covet;
8 Baina bekatuac occasione harturic manamenduaz engendratu vkan du nitan guthicia gucia. Ecen Leguea gabe, hila da bekatua.
Howbeit sin taking, occasion—through the commandment, wrought out in me all manner of coveting; for, apart from law, sin is dead; —
9 Ecen ni vici nincén Leguea gabe noizpait: baina manamendua ethorri denean, bekatua berriz vitzen hassi içan da.
And, I, was alive, apart from law, at one time, but, the commandment coming, sin sprang up to life,
10 Eta ni hil içan naiz: eta eriden içan da vicitzetaco ordenatu ceitadan manamendua, heriotara itzultzen çaitadala.
Whereas, I, died, —and the commandment which was unto life was found by me to be, itself, unto death;
11 Ecen bekatuac occasione harturic, seducitu nau manamenduaz eta harçaz hil vkan nau.
For, sin, —taking occasion—through the commandment, completely deceived me and, through it, slew me:
12 Bada Legueaz den becembatean hura saindu da, eta manamendua saindu eta iusto eta on.
So that, the law, indeed, is holy, and the commandment, holy, and righteous 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, unto me become death? Far be it! But [it was] sin, that it might appear sin, through that which was good unto me working out death, in order that, exceeding sinful, might sin become through the commandment.
14 Ecen badaquigu Leguea spiritual dela: baina ni carnal naiz, bekatuaren azpira saldua.
For we know that, the law, is spiritual, —I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin;
15 Ecen eguiten dudana, etzait on: ecen eztut cer nahi baitut, hura eguiten: baina ceri gaitz baitaritzat, hura eguiten dut.
For, that which I am working out, I do not approve, —for not, what I wish, the same I practise, but, what I hate, the same I do:
16 Bada baldin cer nahi ezpaitut, hura eguiten badut, consentitzen draucat Legueari, ecen ona dela.
Now, if what I wish not the same I do, I consent unto the law that [it is] right.
17 Bada orain guehiagoric eznaiz ni hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.
Now, however, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, 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.
I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not!
19 Ecen nahi dudan vnguia eztut eguiten: baina nahi eztudan gaizquia eguiten dut.
For not, the good that I wish, I do, but, the evil that I do not wish, the same I practise.
20 Bada baldin cer nic nahi ezpaitut hura eguiten badut, eznaiz guehiagoric ni, hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.
Now, if what I wish not, the same, I do, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me.
21 Erideiten dut beraz legue haur nitan, vnguia eguin nahi dudanean, ecen gaizquia datchetala niri.
Hence, I find the law, to me who wish to be doing the right, that, unto me, the wrong lieth near:
22 Ecen atseguin hartzen dut Iaincoaren Leguean barneco guiçonaz den becembatean:
I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man.
23 Baina badacussat berce leguebat neure membroetan, ene adimenduco leguearen contra bataillatzen denic, eta ene membroetan den bekatuaren legueari gathibatzen nerauconic.
But I behold a diverse law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive in the law of sin which existeth in my members: —
24 Helas guiçon miserablea ni, norc idoquiren nau herio hunetaco gorputzetic?
Wretched, man am, I! Who shall rescue me out of this body doomed to death?
25 Esquerrac emaiten drautzat Iaincoari Iesus Christ gure Iaunaz. Bada nic neurorrec adimenduaz cerbitzatzen dut Iaincoaren Leguea, baina haraguiaz bekatuaren leguea.
[But] thanks be unto God!—Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Hence, then, —I myself, with the mind, indeed, am in servitude unto a law of God; but; with the flesh; unto a law of sin.
