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?
A bakhomba, lusi zaba ko ti Mina mieti yadila mutu bu kalembo zingi e? Ndinyoluka kuidi batu bazebi Mina.
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.
Bila nketo, widi mu tsi minsua mi bakala widi wukangama mu mina kuidi bakala diandi bu dikidi zingi. Vayi enati bakala fuidi buna nketo beni niangukini mu mina mi bakala.
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.
Diawu bakala bu dilembo zingi, nket beni wela tedolo nkua kitsuza enati kuedidi bakala dinkaka. Vayi enati bakala beni difuidi, buna, kululu mu Mina beni ayi kalendi buela tedolo ko nkua kitsuza enati kuedidi bakala dinkaka.
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.
Diawu mamveno bakhomba ziama, beno mamveno lumana vondo va ntuala mina mu nitu yi Klisto mu diambu di luvuiwulu kuidi mutu wunkaka, mutu wowo wufuluka mu bafua muingi tubuta mimbutu mu diambu di Nzambi.
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.
Bila bu tuba mu nsuni; zinzinunu zi masumu ziozi zitotukila mu Mina zisala mu binama bieto mu diambu di buta mimbutu minnatanga ku lufua.
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.
Vayi buabu, tukulu ku tsi luyalu lu Mina, bu tuba bafua mu mina, miomi miba kutusimbidila muingi tusadila Nzambi mu tsadulu yimona mu lusadusu lu Pheve vayi bika mu tsadulu yikhulu lu tsi luyalu lu Mina.
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.”
Buna mbi tutuba e? Mina midi masumu e? Nana. Vayi ndizabila masumu mu diambu di Mina bila nganu ndisia zaba nzinunu ko enati Mina misia tuba ko ti wulendi zinina ko.
8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Vayi masumu bu mabaka diluaku mu nzila lutumunu, buna mabuta mu minu zinzinunu zioso, bila masumu madi mafua enati Mina mikambulu.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
Vayi minu, mu thama ndizinga mu kambu Mina. Vayi lutumunu bu luyiza buna masumu mazinga
10 The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
ayi minu ndifua. Buna lutumunu lunnatanga ku luzingu, kuidi minu, luba banga luawu lunnata ku lufua.
11 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Bila masumu bu mabaka diluaku maphuna mu nzila yi lutumunu ayi maphonda mu nzila yi lutumunu.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
Mina midi minlongo ayi lutumunu luidi lunlongo, lusonga ayilumboti.
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.
Buna buevi diambu diodi di mboti dilenda bela tho yi lufuamu diambu diama e? Nana, buawu ko. Vayi Masumu, muingi mamonika masumu mandatina lufua mu nzila yi diambu di mboti ayi mu nzila yi lutumunu maluta monika bukiedika ti masumu.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Muaki tuzebi ti Mina midi mi kipheve vayi minu ndidi nkuakinsuni, ndisumbusu kuidi masumu.
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.
Bila ndizabanga ko mambu ndieti vanga, ndivanganga ko mambu momo ndieti zola ayi ndieta vanga mambu momo ndieti lenda.
16 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
Enati ndieta vanga momo ndieta lenda buna ndilembo sudika ti Mina midi mimboti.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Buabu buna bika sia ti minu ndilembo vangi buawu vayi masumu madi mu minu.
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.
Bila nzebi ti kuisi ko diambu di mboti mu minu; bu dinsundula ti mu nitu ama. Luzolo luvangila mamboti luidi yama vayi ndisi ko lulendo luvangila mawu.
19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practise.
Bila ndivanganga ko mamboti momo thidi vayi ndieti vanga mambimbi momo ndieti lenda.
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.
Enati ndilembo vangi mambu momo ndieti lenda buna bika sia ti minu ndilembo vangi mawu vayi masumu madi mu minu.
21 I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Buna mbueni Muina wawu mu minu: mu thangu thidi vanga mambu mamboti, mambimbi madi yama.
22 For I delight in God’s Torah after the inward person,
Bila ku tsi ama ntima, khini ndieti mona mu Mina mi Nzambi.
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.
Vayi mina minkaka ndieti mona mu binama biama; mina miomi mieti nuanisa mina mi diela diama ayi mieti ku khitula mvika wu mina mi masumu madi mu binama biama.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Minu ndidi mutu wu mabienga! A nani wela ku khula mu nitu yayi yi lufua e?
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.
Matondo kuidi Nzambi mu Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto. Diawu minu veka, mu diela diama ndidi mvika wu Mina mi Nzambi vayi mu kinsuni ndidi mvika wu mina mi masumu.
