Romafo 8
1 Enti afɔbu nni hɔ ma wɔn a wɔwɔ Kristo Yesu mu,
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
2 efisɛ Honhom Kronkron no ama mo nkwa a efi Kristo Yesu nkyɛn, na agye mo afi mmara a ɛde owu ba.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
3 Esiane ɔhonam mmerɛwyɛ nti, Mose Mmara no antumi annye yɛn. Enti Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nea Mmara no antumi anyɛ. Ɔnam nʼankasa ne Ba a ɔsomaa no wɔ onipa bɔnesu so no ba bɛbɔɔ afɔre maa yɛn, na obebuu bɔne atɛn de pepaa yɛn bɔne.
For what the law was unable to do because it was weak through the flesh, God did. He sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be an offering for sin, and he condemned sin in the flesh.
4 Onyankopɔn yɛɛ eyi, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kristo bɛyɛ Mmara no asɛde ama yɛn, yɛn a yɛnnantew ɔhonam fam, na mmom yɛnantew honhom mu no.
He did this in order that the requirements of the law might be fulfilled in us, we who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 Wɔn a ɔhonam mmerɛwyɛ hyɛ wɔn so no dwene bɔne nko ara ho. Wɔn a wɔnam Honhom mu no dwene Honhom de.
Those who live according to the flesh pay attention to the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit pay attention to the things of the Spirit.
6 Wɔn a wɔwɔ ɔhonam mmerɛwyɛ adwene no bewu. Wɔn nso a wɔnam Honhom mu no benya nkwa ne asomdwoe.
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.
7 Adwene a ɛdwene ɔhonam mu no tan Onyankopɔn, efisɛ ɛmmrɛ ne ho ase mma Onyankopɔn mmara; na mpo ɛrentumi.
The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God's law, nor is it able to do so.
8 Wɔn a wodwen ɔhonam mu no rentumi nsɔ Onyankopɔn ani.
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 Sɛ Onyankopɔn Honhom te mo mu a, ɛnyɛ ɔhonam mmrɛwyɛ na edi mo so. Na sɛ obi nni Kristo Honhom a, ɔnyɛ Kristo dea.
However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is true that God's Spirit lives in you. But if someone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
10 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ bɔne bɛma mo nipadua yi awu de, nanso sɛ Kristo te mo mu a, ne trenee nti mo honhom te ase.
If Christ is in you, the body is dead with respect to sin, but the spirit is alive with respect to righteousness.
11 Sɛ Onyankopɔn Honhom a onyan Yesu fii awufo mu no te mo mu a, ɛno de, nea onyan Kristo fii awufo mu no nso nam ne Honhom a ɛwɔ mo mu no so bɛma mo nipadua a ewu yi nso nkwa.
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
12 Enti anuanom, yɛwɔ asodi bi, nanso yɛnyɛ mma ɔhonam no sɛnea ɔpɛ.
So then, brothers, we are debtors, but not to the flesh to live according to the flesh.
13 Sɛ motena ase ma ɔhonam a, mubewu. Nanso sɛ moma Honhom no kum bɔne a nipadua no yɛ a, mubenya nkwa.
For if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the body's actions, you will live.
14 Wɔn a Onyankopɔn Honhom di wɔn so no yɛ Onyankopɔn mma.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 Efisɛ moannya honhom a ɛma mo yɛ nkoa bio ma osuro, na mmom moanya mmayɛ Honhom na yɛnam ne so su se, “Abba, Agya!”
You did not receive a spirit that makes you slaves, so that you live in fear again; but you received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, “Abba, Father!”
16 Na Honhom no ankasa ne yɛn honhom di adanse sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma.
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
17 Esiane sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma nti yɛyɛ adedifo; Onyankopɔn adedifo a yɛne Kristo wɔ kyɛfa wɔ mu, nanso gye sɛ yɛne no kyɛ nʼamanehunu ansa na yɛne no akyɛ nʼanuonyam no.
If we are children, then we are also heirs, heirs of God. And we are joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
18 Minim sɛ amane a yɛrehu no saa bere yi nyɛ nea wɔde toto anuonyam a wɔbɛhyɛ yɛn no ho.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed to us.
19 Abɔde nyinaa de anigyina rehwɛ da a Onyankopɔn mma bɛda wɔn ho adi no kwan.
For the eager expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 Efisɛ bere a emfi abɔde pɛ mu no, wɔnam Onyankopɔn tumi mu buu abɔde fɔ sɛ ɛnnan ade hunu. Nanso na saa anidaso yi wɔ hɔ
For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in the certain hope
21 sɛ, da bi, abɔde no bɛde ne ho afi nkoayɛ ne ɔporɔw mu na ɛne Onyankopɔn mma anya ahofadi mu anuonyam.
that the creation itself will be delivered from slavery to decay, and that it will be brought into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
22 Yenim sɛ ebesi saa bere yi abɔde nyinaa pene sɛ ɔpemfo a awo aka no.
For we know that the whole creation groans and labors in pain together even now.
23 Nanso ɛnyɛ abɔde nko, na yɛn a yɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Honhom sɛ Onyankopɔn akyɛde no nso si apini bere a yɛretwɛn sɛ Onyankopɔn de yɛn bɛyɛ ne mma. Eyi kyerɛ sɛ yɛbɛde yɛn ho wɔ ɔhonam fam nso.
Not only that, but even we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit—even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 Na wɔnam saa anidaso yi so gyee yɛn nkwa. Sɛ yehu nea yɛn ani da so no de a, na ɛnyɛ anidaso bio. Na hena na nʼani tumi da ade a ɔwɔ dedaw so?
For in this certain hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he can see?
25 Na sɛ yɛn ani da ade a yɛn nsa nkae so a, yɛde boasetɔ twɛn.
But if we have certain hope about what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26 Saa ara na Honhom no boa yɛn wɔ yɛn mmerɛwyɛ mu, efisɛ, yennim ɔkwan a wɔfa so bɔ mpae sɛnea ɛsɛ. Honhom no ankasa de apinisi de nsɛm a enni kabea di ma yɛn.
In the same way, the Spirit also helps in our weakness. For we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groans.
27 Onyankopɔn a ohu nnipa koma mu no nim Honhom no nsusuwii, efisɛ Honhom no nam Onyankopɔn pɛ so di ma Onyankopɔn mma wɔ nʼanim.
He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes on behalf of the saints according to the will of God.
28 Yenim sɛ ade nyinaa mu no Onyankopɔn di boa wɔn a wɔdɔ no ma ewie wɔn yiye. Edi boa wɔn a ɔnam nʼatirimpɔw so afrɛ wɔn.
We know that for those who love God, he works all things together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
29 Wɔn a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn dedaw no, ɔde wɔn asi hɔ sɛ wɔnyɛ sɛ ne Ba no, na ne Ba no ayɛ anuanom pii mu abakan.
Because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 Onyankopɔn frɛɛ wɔn a oyii wɔn sii hɔ no, na wɔn a oyii wɔn no, obuu wɔn bem. Na wɔn a obuu wɔn bem no, ɔhyɛɛ wɔn anuonyam nso.
Those whom he predestined, these he also called. Those whom he called, these he also justified. Those whom he justified, these he also glorified.
31 Afei, asɛm bɛn; dɛn na yɛbɛka afa eyinom ho? Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa a, hena na ɔne yɛn bedi asi?
What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
32 Nea wankame nʼankasa ne Ba, na mmom yɛn nyinaa nti oyii no mae no, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na ɔmfa ade nyinaa nso nka ne ho mmɛdom yɛn?
He who did not spare his own Son but delivered him up on behalf of us all, how will he not also with him freely give us all things?
33 Hena na obebu wɔn a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn no atɛn? Onyankopɔn nko na obu bem.
Who will bring any accusation against God's chosen ones? God is the one who justifies.
34 Hena na obu fɔ? Kristo Yesu ne nea owui na wonyan no na ɔte Onyankopɔn nifa so di ma yɛn wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no.
Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.
35 Hena na obetumi atetew ɔdɔ a ɛda yɛne Kristo ntam no mu? Ahohia anaa ahometew anaa ɔtaa anaa ɔkɔm anaa adagyaw anaa amanenya anaa owu na ebetumi atetew ɔdɔ a ɛda yɛne Kristo ntam no mu no ana?
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 Dabi da! Wɔakyerɛw se, “Wo nti wokum yɛn daa nyinaa; wobu yɛn sɛ nguan a wɔrekokum wɔn.”
Just as it is written, “For your benefit we are killed all day long. We were considered as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Nanso eyinom nyinaa mu no, yɛnam nea ɔdɔɔ yɛn no so di nkonim boro so.
In all these things we are more than conquerors through the one who loved us.
38 Migye di ampa sɛ owu anaa nkwa anaa abɔfo anaa atumfo anaa nneɛma a ɛwɔ hɔ anaa nneɛma a ɛrebɛba anaa tumi
For I have been convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor governments, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 anaa ɔsoro anaa fam anaa abɔde foforo biara rentumi ntetew yɛn ne Onyankopɔn dɔ a ɛwɔ Kristo Yesu, yɛn Awurade, mu no mu da.
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
