Romans 7
1 Know all of you not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law, ) how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?
Au mutangite kwako, (kwa kuwa nikoya na babatangite seliya), kwa kuwa seliya itawala mundu yes bile mwomi?
2 For the woman which has an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Mana ajwo nwawa jwakondeke atabilwe na seliya kwa another nchengowe mana abile nkoti, ili mene ayomwike mene awile, alowa panga mutabilwe ya seliya ya ndoa.
3 So then if, while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Tumbwe kae, wakati about asengo babe babi aomi, mene itei atama na nalume jwembe akemelwa mmalaya. Ila mene abo asengo babe bawile, nai lusa kwa seliya, hapo apangali mmalaya, mene itei akonda kwa nnalume ywenge.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, all of you also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that all of you should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
kwa-nyo, mwalongo bango, mwapangilwe maiti kwa seliya kwa ndila ya yega ya Kirisitu. Ibile nyoo lenga mupale unganishwa na jwenge kwa ywembe jwa fufuliwe buka kiwo lenga tuweze ku-papya Nnongo matunda.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Mana patwabile haya payiga nkati ya mwili, tamaa ya sambi yatijumukilwa muiungo yoti kwa ndila ya seliya na kwipapya maiti matunda.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, (pneuma) and not in the oldness of the letter.
Ila saa yeno tuyong'olilwe buku mu seliya. Tuweli mulo hali yayatupingite. Lenga twenga tupate tumika mu hali yayambe ya Roho, nasi hali ya zamani ya andiko.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, You shall not covet.
Tulongele buli? seliya sambi? Ataa, Alanyo, mbele kwitangalii sambi, ila kwa ndela ya seliya. Kwa kuwa mbele tangalii tamaniya bila seliya ika kotoka baya, “Uneutamani”.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Lakini sambi yapatike nafasi kwa yelu amri ni takatifu ya haki na ukoto.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Nanenga nabi na koti hapo zamani bila seliya, lakini payaichi yelu amri, sambi yapatike ngupu, na nenga nganawile.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
Yelo amri ye peleleta ukoto yatigalambuka yabi kiwo kasango.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Kwa mana sambi yapatike nafasi kwa yelu amri na yatigonga pitya mulo mu'amri yatimbulaga.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Kumbe seliya takatifu, na yelo amri nembe takatifu, ya haki, na ukoto.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Kumbe iyo ya ibele ya ukoto yabile ya kiwo kasango nenga kana ibe nyoo kabisa. Lakini sambi, yabonekine panga sambi hasa pitya kwa yalo njema, yaileta kiwo ngati yango. Ayee yabile pitya kwa yelo amri, sambi kene ya pange mbaya muno.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Mana tutangite panga seliya tubwa kwake ni ya mwoyo, lakini nenga na mundu wa payenga, mpemejilwe pa'e ya utumwa wa sambi.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Mana lanilipanga nilitangite-lii kabisa, mana lelo lyanipendile kulipanga-kwako na lyanichukya, nganilipanga.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Lakini mana nilipangite lelo lyanikotwike kulipenda, seliya yenda kuniyeketya yo panga seliya ni nkoto.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Ila nenga lili nafsi yango yanipangalyo, ila yelo sambi yaitama nkati yango.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh, ) dwells no good thing: in order to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Kwa Mana ndangite nkati yango, yani, nkati ya payenga yango, litama kwako likowe linanoga. kwa kuwa tamaniya kwa linanoga ibi kati yango, ila nipanga-lii.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Kwa maana lelo linanoga lyanilipendile nilipanga kwako, ila lelo libaya lyangotwike kulipenda ngalyo ndenda.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Tubwe Mana kandenda lelo lyangotwike kulipenda si nenga kiyango nganipanga, kumbe yelo sambi yango yaitama nkati yango.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Ndangite ibile haki ngati yango yaipala panga lyalibile lizuri, lakini ubaya ubile nkati yango.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Mana Nenda kuipulaikya seliya ya Nnongo kwa mundu jwa nkati.
23 But I see 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.
Lakini mbona tofauti nkati ya viungo ya yega yango. Ingawa kwina ngonda juyo kanuni ya yambi na mulunda lyango.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Need na mundu wene uruma! nyai jwaweza kunilopwa yega ya kiwo?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Lakini ni shukuru Nnongo na Yesu Kirisitu Nngwana witu! Nga-nyo. Nenga na mwene kwa akili yango nitumikiya seliya ya Nnongo. Ila kwa yenga nitumikiya kanuni ya sambi.
