Romans 7
1 Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
Mwet lili ac lulu, kowos ac kalem ke ma nga akola in fahk uh, mweyen kowos nukewa etu ke ma sap. Ma sap uh leum fin mwet uh ke lusen na pacl elos moul.
2 For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
Fin pa sie mutan payuk, el kapiri nu sin mukul tumal ke lusen na moul lun mukul tumal. Tusruktu mukul sac fin misa, na mutan kial el sukosokla liki ma sap su sruokol nu sin mukul tumal.
3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
Ke ma inge, mutan sac fin muta pac yurin sie mukul ke pacl se mukul tumal el srakna moul, el ac fah pangpang sie mutan kosro. Tusruk, mukul tumal ah fin misa, mutan sac sukosokla liki ma sap ma sruokol, ac el tia orek kosro el fin payukyak sin sie pac mukul.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Messiah, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.
Ac oapana inge nu suwos, mwet lili ac lulu. Kut fin nunku nu ke Ma Sap, kowos misa tari, mweyen kowos lahn monin Christ; ac inge kowos ma lal su akmoulyeyukyak liki misa, tuh moul lasr ac orekma lasr in oasr sripa nu sin God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.
Tuh ke kut moul fal nu ke moul in ikwa, Ma Sap uh pirakak lung koluk in kut ac ma inge orekma in manosr, pwanang ma nukewa kut oru uh pwenkutla nu ke misa.
6 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
Tusruktu inge, kut sukosokla liki Ma Sap, mweyen kut misa nu ke ma se ma tuh sruok kut oana mwet kapir. Kut tia sifilpa kulansap in ouiya matu lun sie ma sap simla, a in ouiya sasu lun Ngun Mutal.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
Na mea, kut ac fahk mu Ma Sap uh koluk? Mo, tia ouinge! Tusruktu pwaye lah Ma Sap pa oru nga etu lah mea ma koluk uh. Ma Sap funu tia fahk, “Nik kom rapku,” nga lukun tia etu ngan rapku.
8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Tusruktu ke sripen ma sap sacn, ma koluk uh konauk inkanek wo lal in pirikyu nu ke kain in mwel koluk puspis. Fin wangin Ma Sap, na ma koluk el ma misa se.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
Nga sifacna, nga tuh moul sayen ma sap meet, a ke Ma Sap tuku, ma koluk uh moulyak,
10 The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
ac nga misa. Na ma sap se su ituku in mwe moul nu sik, tuh ekla mwe misa.
11 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Ma koluk konauk pacl wo lal, ac el orekmakin ma sap sac in kiapweyula ac uniyuwi.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
Ke ma inge, Ma Sap uh mutal, ac ma sapkinyuk nukewa loac mutal, suwohs, ac wo.
13 Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.
Na mea, pwaye lah ma wo uh pa oru nga misa? Mo! Ma koluk pa oru! Ma koluk el orekmakin sie ma wo in ase misa nu sik, in akkalemye lupan koluk la. Ouinge, ke sripen ma oakwuk in Ma Sap, ma koluk el sifacna akkalemye lah arulana yohk kolukiya.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Kut etu lah Ma Sap uh ma lun ngun; a nga sie mwet moul in ikwa, kukakinyukla oana sie mwet kohs nu ke ma koluk.
15 For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practise what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
Nga tia kalem ke ma nga oru; mweyen nga tia oru ma nga lungse, a nga oru ma nga srunga.
16 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
Ke sripen nga oru ma nga tia lungse oru, ma se inge fahkak lah Ma Sap uh suwohs.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Ouinge tia nga pa oru ma inge; a ma koluk su oan in nga.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.
Nga etu lah wangin ma wo in nga — aok, in moul in ikwa luk. Mweyen nga finne ke oru wo, nga tia ku in oru.
19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practise.
Nga tia oru ma wo ma nga lungse oru; a nga oru ma sufal su nga tia lungse oru.
20 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Nga fin oru ma nga tia lungse oru, kalmac pa tia nga pa oru; a ma koluk su oan in nga pa oru.
21 I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Ke ma inge nga konauk lah ma sap se inge pa orekma in nga; ke pacl nga lungse oru ma wo, ma koluk mukena pa nga sulela in oru uh.
22 For I delight in God’s Torah after the inward person,
Insiuk engankin ma sap lun God.
23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
Tusruktu nga liye siena kain ma sap pa orekma in monuk — sie ma sap su lain ma sap su nunak luk uh akkeye. El oru nga mwet kapir nu ke ma sap lun ma koluk su orekma in monuk.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Nga supwarla na pwaye! Su ac fah moliyula liki mano se inge, ma pwenyula nu ke misa?
25 I thank God through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s Torah, but with the flesh, sin’s law.
Nga kulo nu sin God, su moliyula ke Leum lasr Jesus Christ! Pa inge ouiyuk: in ku luk sifacna nga kulansupu ma sap lun God ke nunak luk mukena, ac moul in ikwa luk pa kulansupu ma sap lun ma koluk.
