Erromatarrei 7
1 Ala eztaquiçue, anayeác, (ecen Leguea eçagutzen duteney minço natzaye) nola Legueac dominatione duen guiçonaren gainean vici den artean?
Or do ye not know, my Brethren.-(for I am speaking to them that know the law, )- that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as he is alive?
2 Ecen emazte ezcondua, senharra vici dueno obligatua da Legueaz: baina baldin senharra hil badadi, libre da senharraren leguetic.
Just as a woman, by the law, is bound to her husband, as long as he is alive: but if her husband should die, she is freed 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.
And if, while her husband is alive, she should adhere to another man, she would become an adulteress: but if her husband should die, she is freed from the law; and would not be an adulteress though joined to another man.
4 Bada, ene anayeác, çuec-ere Legueari hil çaizquiote Christen gorputzean: berce, hiletaric resuscitatu den baten çaretençát: Iaincoari fructifica dieçogunçat.
And now, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law, by the body of Messiah; that ye might be joined to another, even to him who arose from the dead; and might yield fruits unto God.
5 Ecen haraguian guinenean, bekatuén affectione Legueaz ciradenéc indar çuten gure membroetan, herioari fructificatzeco.
For while we were in the flesh, the emotions of sin which are by the law, were active in our members, that we should bear fruits 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 absolved from the law, and are dead to that which held us in its grasp: that we might henceforth serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness 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 shall we say then? Is the law sin?, Far be it. For I had not learned sin, except by means of the law: for I had not known concupiscence, had not the law said, Thou shalt not covet:
8 Baina bekatuac occasione harturic manamenduaz engendratu vkan du nitan guthicia gucia. Ecen Leguea gabe, hila da bekatua.
and by this commandment, sin found occasion, and perfected in me all concupiscence: for without the law, sin was dead.
9 Ecen ni vici nincén Leguea gabe noizpait: baina manamendua ethorri denean, bekatua berriz vitzen hassi içan da.
And I, without the law, was alive formerly; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died;
10 Eta ni hil içan naiz: eta eriden içan da vicitzetaco ordenatu ceitadan manamendua, heriotara itzultzen çaitadala.
and the commandment of life was found by me to be unto death.
11 Ecen bekatuac occasione harturic, seducitu nau manamenduaz eta harçaz hil vkan nau.
For sin, by the occasion which it found by means of the commandment, seduced me; and thereby slew me.
12 Bada Legueaz den becembatean hura saindu da, eta manamendua saindu eta iusto eta on.
Wherefore, the law is holy; and the commandment is 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 that which is good, therefore, become death to me? Far be it. But sin, that it might be seen to be sin, perfected death in me by means of that good law; that sin might the more be condemned, by means of the commandment.
14 Ecen badaquigu Leguea spiritual dela: baina ni carnal naiz, bekatuaren azpira saldua.
For we know, that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, and sold to sin.
15 Ecen eguiten dudana, etzait on: ecen eztut cer nahi baitut, hura eguiten: baina ceri gaitz baitaritzat, hura eguiten dut.
For what I am doing, I know not: and what I would, I do not perform; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Bada baldin cer nahi ezpaitut, hura eguiten badut, consentitzen draucat Legueari, ecen ona dela.
And if I do what I would not, I testify of the law, that it is right.
17 Bada orain guehiagoric eznaiz ni hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.
And then, it is no more I who do that thing; but sin, which 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 in me, (that is, in my flesh, ) good dwelleth not: because, to approve the good, is easy for me; but to do it, I am unable.
19 Ecen nahi dudan vnguia eztut eguiten: baina nahi eztudan gaizquia eguiten dut.
For I do not perform the good, which I would perform; but the bad, which I would not perform, that I do perform.
20 Bada baldin cer nic nahi ezpaitut hura eguiten badut, eznaiz guehiagoric ni, hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.
And if I do what I would not, it is not I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.
21 Erideiten dut beraz legue haur nitan, vnguia eguin nahi dudanean, ecen gaizquia datchetala niri.
I find therefore a law coinciding with my conscience, which assenteth to my doing good, whereas evil is near to me.
22 Ecen atseguin hartzen dut Iaincoaren Leguean barneco guiçonaz den becembatean:
For I rejoice in the law of God, in the interior man.
23 Baina badacussat berce leguebat neure membroetan, ene adimenduco leguearen contra bataillatzen denic, eta ene membroetan den bekatuaren legueari gathibatzen nerauconic.
But I see another law in my members, which warreth against the law of my conscience, and maketh me a captive to the law of sin which existeth in my members
24 Helas guiçon miserablea ni, norc idoquiren nau herio hunetaco gorputzetic?
O, a miserable man, am I! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 Esquerrac emaiten drautzat Iaincoari Iesus Christ gure Iaunaz. Bada nic neurorrec adimenduaz cerbitzatzen dut Iaincoaren Leguea, baina haraguiaz bekatuaren leguea.
I thank God; by means of our Lord Jesus Messiah I shall be rescued. [ (Romans 7:26) Now, therefore, in my conscience, I am a servant of the law of God; but in my flesh, I am a servant of the law of sin. ]
