Romans 7
1 Knowe yee not, brethren, (for I speake to them that knowe the Lawe) that the Lawe hath dominion ouer a man as long as he liueth?
Mobanse, ndambanga ne njamwe, pakwinga mwense muwinshi mulawo. Mucinsheti Milawo ikute kwendelesha muntu acibanga muyumi.
2 For the woman which is in subiection to a man, is bound by the Lawe to the man, while he liueth: but if the man bee dead, shee is deliuered from the lawe of the man.
Mwacilesho, milawo ilambangeti, mutukashi webwa wasungwa kumulume pacindi conse mulume acibanga muyumi. Nomba mulume afwa, mutukashi usa ukute kusunguluka ku milawo ya cikwati.
3 So then, if while the man liueth, she taketh another man, she shalbe called an adulteresse: but if the man be dead, she is free from the Law, so that shee is not an adulteresse, though shee take another man.
Weco, na mutukashi wenda ne mutuloba naumbi ibendi kacili muyumi, ukute kwambweti nimupombo. Nomba ibendi afwa, mutukashi ukute usunguluka ku Milawo ya cikwati, neco ebwa ku mutuloba naumbi liya kwinsa bupombo sobwe.
4 So yee, my brethren, are dead also to the Law by ye body of Christ, that ye should be vnto an other, euen vnto him that is raised vp from the dead, that we should bring foorth fruite vnto God.
Nicimo cimo nenjamwe mobanse. Pakwinga lino njamwe cilama ca mubili wa Yesu Klistu. Mpwalafwa ne njamwe mwalafwa nendi pamo, mwalasungululwa ku Milawo, neco lino njamwe bakendi uyo walapunduka kubafu kwambeti tucikonshe kusebensela cena Lesa.
5 For when we were in ye flesh, the affections of sinnes, which were by the Law, had force in our members, to bring foorth fruit vnto death.
Pakwinga pacindi mpotwalikwikala mubwikalo bwakusemwa nabo, lunkumbwa lwakuyanda kwinsa bintu byaipa lwalikuboneka mu Milawo byalikusebensa mumibili yetu, nomba ibyo ebyalaleta lufu.
6 But now we are deliuered from the Lawe, he being dead in whom we were holden, that we should serue in newnesse of Spirite, and not in the oldnesse of the letter.
Nsombi lino twasungululwa ku Milawo. Twabeti twalafwa ne kulekana ne Milawo iyo yalikutusunga busha. Lino Mushimu Uswepa ulatunyamfwanga kusebensela Lesa munshila shalinolino, nshila yakaindi yakukonkela Milawo yalembwa twaileka.
7 What shall we say then? Is the Lawe sinne? God forbid. Nay, I knewe not sinne, but by the Lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Lawe had sayd, Thou shalt not lust.
Lino ngatwamba aconi? Sena twambeti Milawo yaipa? Sobwe! Milawo eyalandesheti njishibe bwipishi. Pakwinga Milawo neyalabula kwambeti utakumbwa ca munobe, nendalabula kwinshiba kwipa kwa lunkumbwa lwakame.
8 But sinne tooke an occasion by ye commandement, and wrought in me all maner of concupiscence: for without the Lawe sinne is dead.
Pacebo ca Mulawo uyu, bwipishi bwalacana pakwingilila mulinjame mbuli lunkumbwa lwa bintu byapusana pusana. Pakwinga kwabula Milawo, bwipishi nkabwelela kubapo sobwe.
9 For I once was aliue, without the Law: but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued,
Ame kaindi ndalikwikala kwakubula Mulawo, nsombi pacindi mpondalatatika kwinshiba Milawo, popelapo bwipishi bwalatatika kukonempa mubuyumi bwakame.
10 But I died: and the same commandement which was ordeined vnto life, was found to be vnto me vnto death.
Nomba ame ndalabeti ndafwa. Lino Milawo yopeleyo yalikuyandika kuleta buyumi kulinjame, nomba eyalantwala ku lufu.
11 For sinne tooke occasion by the commandement, and deceiued me, and thereby slewe me.
Pakwinga bwipishi bwalacana pakwingilila pacebo ca Milawo yalambepa ne kunshina.
12 Wherefore the Lawe is holy, and that commandement is holy, and iust, and good.
Mwakutatonshana, Milawo ya Mose yonse yaswepa, kayi mulawo uliwonse waswepa walulama kayi waina.
13 Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid: but sinne, that it might appeare sinne, wrought death in me by that which is good, that sinne might be out of measure sinfull by the commandement.
Sena ekwambeti cintu caina ici ecalanshinisha? Sobwe! Nsombi bwipishi ebwalanshina pakusebensesha cintu caina calandetela lufu, kwambeti bwikalo bwa buntu bwakame bwaipa bubonekele pantangalala. Kupitila mu Milawo, bwipishi bukute kuboneketi bwaipa ciyosha!
14 For we knowe that the Law is spirituall, but I am carnall, solde vnder sinne.
Tucinsheti Milawo ya Mose ni Lesa walamupa. Nsombi ame njame muntu watyompwa, kayi wolishiwa eti musha kubwipishi.
15 For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.
Nkankute kwinshiba mbyonkute kwinsa. Pakwinga nkakute kwinsa bintu mbyonsuni kwinsa, nsombi bintu mbyondapela, embyonkute kwinsa.
16 If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good.
Nsombi na nkandayandanga kwinsa byaipa mbyonkute kwinsa, ekwambeti ndasuminishinga kwambeti Milawo isa yaina.
17 Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.
Neco bintu bikute kwinshika, ntame nkute kubinsa, nsombi nibwipishi buli mukati mwakame.
18 For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.
Ndicinsheti mulinjame nkamukute kwikala bintu byaina. “Ndambanga pa bwikalo bwa buntu bwakusemwa nabo.” Nambi nkute kuyanda kwinsa bintu byaina, nkankute kubinsa.
19 For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.
Nkankute kwinsa byaina ibyo mbyonsuni, nsombi nkute kwinsa byaipa ibyo mbyontasuni.
20 Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me.
Nandenshinga bintu mbyontasuni, ekwambeti ntame ndabinshinga nsombi nibwipishi buli mukati mwakame.
21 I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me.
Neco nkute kuboneti uwu mulawo ukute kulwana mukati mwakame pakwinga pacindi ncondayandanga kwinsa byaina, byaipa bikute kabili nenjame.
22 For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man:
Moyo wakame ukute kukondwa ne Milawo ya Lesa.
23 But I see another Law in my members, rebelling against the Lawe of my minde, and leading me captiue vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members.
Nsombi mukati mwakame nkute kubona mulawo naumbi ukute kulwana mu mubili wakame, mulawo uwo eukute kulwana kayi ne miyeyo yakame, mulawo wopeloyo ulansandulu kuba musha wa mulawo wa bwipishi uli mulinjame.
24 O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death!
Ndemucangu ame! Niyani eshampulushe kufuma mumubili uwu ulantwalanga ku lufu?
25 I thanke God through Iesus Christ our Lord. Then I my selfe in my minde serue the Lawe of God, but in my flesh the lawe of sinne.
Tulumbaishe Lesa! Endiye eshampulushe kupitila muli Yesu Klistu Mwami wetu. Neco ame mu miyeyo yakame yonse nkute kusebensela Milawo ya Lesa, nsombi bwikalo bwakame bwakusemwa nabo bukute kusebensela mulawo wa bwipishi.
