Romans 7
1 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?
O ry longo, (ie itaroñako o mahafohiñe Hake) nofi’ areo hao te fehè’ i Hake t’indaty t’ie mbe veloñe?
2 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.
Fa ampifetrehe’ i Hake amy vali’ey ty rakemba naho mbe veloñe i rangahey, ie mihomake indatiy, le votsotse amy Hake mamahotse aze amy vali’eiy.
3 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.
Aa naho anakeza’ ondaty ty rakemba manam-baly le atao t’ie tsy vokatse. Fe naho mihomake i vali’ey, le haha amy Hake re, vaho tsy karapilo t’ie engae’ ondaty.
4 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.
Ie amy zao ry longo, ty Fañòva’ i Norizañeiy ty nivetraha’ areo amy Hake, hireketa’ areo ami’ty hafa, amy nampitroareñe amy havilasiy, hamokaran-tika ho an’ Andrianañahare.
5 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;
Itika tamy nofotsey, le nitoloñe an-tsandriñe ao o draon-kakeo nisigihe’ i Hake hamokara’e fihomahañeo.
6 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.
F’ie votsots’ amy Hake henaneo, nivetrake amy namahotsey, hitoroñe ami’ty nañavaoe’ i Arofoy fa tsy am-pimanemanean-tsokitse hambo’e.
7 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;
Aa le inoñe ty ho asan-tikañe? Hakeo hao t’i Hake? Sondo’e! Fa tsy ho napotako ty atao tahiñe naho tsy t’i Hake, le tsy ho nihaiko ze atao fitsikirihañe naho tsy nafè’ i Hake ty hoe, Ko mihàñe.
8 Howbeit sin taking, occasion—through the commandment, wrought out in me all manner of coveting; for, apart from law, sin is dead; —
I tahiñey, ie nampahazoa’ i liliy lalañe, nitrobo ze atao fikirañañe amako, fa naho tsy eo Hake, tsy eo tahiñe.
9 And, I, was alive, apart from law, at one time, but, the commandment coming, sin sprang up to life,
Niveloñe hey raho taolo t’ie tsy aman-Kake; fe niavy i liliy, le nibodan-ko veloñe o tahiñeo vaho nikenkan-draho;
10 Whereas, I, died, —and the commandment which was unto life was found by me to be, itself, unto death;
i fañè ho ninday haveloñey, te mone namono ahy.
11 For, sin, —taking occasion—through the commandment, completely deceived me and, through it, slew me:
I hakeoy, ie nampahazoa’ i liliy lalañe, namañahy ahy, vaho ie ty namono ahy.
12 So that, the law, indeed, is holy, and the commandment, holy, and righteous and good.
Aa le Masiñe t’i Hake, le miavake naho vantañe vaho soa o lilio.
13 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.
Aa vaho fihomahañe amako hao i soay? Sondo’e! Fa i tahiñey, hampiborahañe ty hakeo, nitoloñe fihomahañe amako amy soay, hampidodea’ i Hake ty halo-tsere’ o tahiñeo.
14 For we know that, the law, is spiritual, —I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin;
Fohintika te arofo t’i Hake, f’ie nofotse naletake hondevon-kakeo.
15 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:
Tsy apotako o anoekoo; le tsy anoeko o satrikoo, te mone i hejekoy ty anoeko.
16 Now, if what I wish not the same I do, I consent unto the law that [it is] right.
Aa naho anoeko i tsy satrikoy, le iantofako te soa t’i Hake.
17 Now, however, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me:
Ie henaneo tsy zaho ty manao, fa ty hakeo mitoboke an-troko ato.
18 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!
Apotako te tsy imoneñan-kasoa ty nofoko toy. Toe amam-pisalalan-draho, fe tsy tafete’e ty fanoan-tsoa.
19 For not, the good that I wish, I do, but, the evil that I do not wish, the same I practise.
I soa satrieko hanoeñey tsy anoeko, fe i raty hejekoy ty toloñako.
20 Now, if what I wish not, the same, I do, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me.
Aa naho anoeko i raha hejekoy, le tsy zaho ty mitoloñe, fa o tahiñe mitsotsefotse amakoo.
21 Hence, I find the law, to me who wish to be doing the right, that, unto me, the wrong lieth near:
Treako amy zao ty lily toy, t’ie manitra hanao soa, amako ty raty.
22 I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man.
Toe iantofako an-kafalean-troke i Han’ Añaharey;
23 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: —
fe mahatrea hake hafa am-pangefangen-tsandriko ato mifandraparapake amy Hake am-pitsakoreako atoañey mandrohy ahy amy ha’ o tahiñe am-pangefangekooy.
24 Wretched, man am, I! Who shall rescue me out of this body doomed to death?
Hete, ondaty mavoin-draho! Ia ty hañaha ahy ami’ty sandrim-pihomahañe toy?
25 [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.
Andriañeko t’i Andrianañahare añamy Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey. Ie amy zao mitoroñe i Han’ Añaharey raho an-troke ao, naho i ha’ o tahiñeoy ami’ty sandriko hambo’e toy.
