1 Na fi dunu! Dilia huluane da sema hou dawa: beba: le, na waha sia: mu liligi huluane dilia da noga: le dawa: mu. Dunu ilia esalebeba: le fawane, sema da ilia hou ouligisa. Be ilia bogosea, sema da ilia hou ouligimu da hamedei.
Surely, friends, you know (for I am speaking to people who know what Law means) that Law has power over a person only as long as they lives.
2 Agoane gala. Uda da dunuga laiba: le, egoa esalebeba: le, sema gala. E da egoama madelagi agoane gala. Be egoa da bogosea, amo sema da fisiba: le, amo uda da halegale, udigili lalumu.
For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband while he is living; but, if her husband dies, she is set free from the law that bound her to him.
3 Amaiba: le, egoa esaleawane, amo uda da eno dunuma fisia, e da wadela: i uda, eno dunu ilia da sia: mu. Be egoa bogobeba: le, amo uda da udigili didalo agoane lalebeba: le, e da eno dunuma fisia, e da wadela: le hame hamosa.
If, then, during her husband’s lifetime, she unites herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but, if her husband dies, the law has no further hold on her, nor, if she unites herself to another man, is she an adulteress.
4 Na fi dunu! Dilia da sema amoma agoaiwane esala. Dilia da Gelesuma madelagiba: le, Ea da: i hodo liligi hamoi dagoiba: le, dilia da fedege agoane dilia musa: ouligisu (Sema) amoma bogoi dagoi. Be dili huluane Gode Ea hawa: noga: le hamoma: ne, Yesu Gelesu da bogosu fisili, wa: legadoi. Amola wali dilia da Yesu Gelesu Ea fi dunu esala.
And so with you, my friends; as far as the Law was concerned, you underwent death in the crucified body of the Christ, so that you might be united to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that our lives might bear fruit for God.
5 Ninia musa: wadela: i hu ea hou fawane hamonanuba: le, Sema sia: nababeba: le, amo da ninia wadela: i hanai asigi dawa: su ganodini wili gala: su. Amo wadela: i hanai asigi dawa: su da bagade heda: beba: le, ninia da fedege bogosu ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoane ba: i.
When we were living merely earthly lives, our sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were active in every part of our bodies, with the result that our lives bore fruit for death.
6 Be wali ninia sema se iasu diasu logo da doasi dagoiba: le, ninia da halegai dagoi. Bai ninia da sema amoma bogoidafa. Sema dedei huluane ba: beba: le, ninia da wali Gode Ea hawa: hame hamosa. Be gaheabolo hou da misi dagoi. Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala da ninia dogo ganodini esalebeba: le, ninia Gode Ea sia: nabawane hawa: hamonana.
But now we are set free from the Law, because we are dead to that which once kept us under restraint; and so we serve under new, spiritual conditions, and not under old, written regulations.
7 Amaiba: le, ninia da Sema huluane da wadela: i fawane sia: ma: bela: ? Hame mabu! Sema dedei dawa: beba: le, na da wadela: i hou ea bai dawa: Sema da, “Eno dunu ea liligi hanaiwane lamusa: mae dawa: ma!” Amo sema na da hame dawa: loba, na da amo wadela: i hou hamoi dagoi na da hame dawa: la: loba.
What are we to say, then? That Law and sin are the same thing? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, I should not have learned what sin is, had not it been for Law. If the Law did not say ‘You must not covet,’ I should not know what it is to covet.
8 Be amo sema na dawa: beba: le, wadela: i hou na dogo ganodini logo fodole, wadela: i hanai hou bagohame na dogo ganodini wili gala: su. Sema hame dedei ganiaba, wadela: i hou da gasa hame ba: laloba.
But sin took advantage of the commandment to arouse in me every form of covetousness, for where there is no consciousness of Law sin shows no sign of life.
9 Na da musa: sema hame dawa: loba, wadela: i hou ea bai hame dawa: beba: le, fonobahadi hahawane esalu. Be na da sema huluane dawa: loba, na da na wadela: i hanai hou bagadewane dawa: i galu.
There was a time when I myself, unconscious of Law, was alive; but when the commandment was brought home to me, sin sprang into life, while I died!
10 Amalalu, na da fedege agoane bogoi. Gode da nama esalusu ima: ne, Sema hamoi dagoi. Be nama sema da se imunusa: fofada: su liligi fawane ba: i.
The commandment that should have meant life I found to result in death!
11 Amaiba: le, fedege agoane, wadela: i hou da logo fodole, sema medosu liligi gaguli, nama hohonone, na fane legei dagoi.
Sin took advantage of the commandment to deceive me, and used it to bring about my death.
12 Amaiba: le, Sema da hadigi amola hamoma: ne sia: i da hadigi, moloidafa amola noga: i.
And so the Law is holy, and each commandment is also holy, and just, and good.
13 Be amo ea bai da liligi noga: idafa da na fane legebela: ? Hame mabu! Wadela: i hou da na fane legei dagoi. Wadela: i hou da liligi moloidafa (Sema) amo lale amola amoga na da: i hodo fane legei. Na da wadela: i hou ea houdafa noga: le dawa: ma: ne agoane hamosu. Amaiba: le, sema da wadela: i hou amo da baligili wadela: idafa amo olelesa.
Did, then, a thing, which in itself was good, involve death in my case? Heaven forbid! It was sin that involved death; so that, by its use of what I regarded as good to bring about my death, its true nature might appear; and in this way the commandment showed how intensely sinful sin is.
14 Gode Ea Sema da a: silibu hou agoane, amo ninia dawa: Be na da osobo bagade dunu fawane. Na da wadela: i hou amo ea se iasu udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoane.
We know that the Law is spiritual, but I am earthly – sold into slavery to sin.
15 Na hawa: hamonana bai na da noga: le hame dawa: Na wali hou moloidafa hamomu hanai be na hanai liligi mae hamone, na higa: i liligi fawane hamosa.
I do not understand my own actions. For I am so far from habitually doing what I want to do, that I find myself doing the thing that I hate.
16 Na higa: i liligi na da hamonanebeba: le, na da amane sia: sa, “Ma! Sema da moloidafa,” amo olelesa.
But when I do what I want not to do, I am admitting that the Law is right.
17 Amaiba: le, na higa: i liligi na hamonanebeba: le, amo da nisu na hame hamosa. Be wadela: i hou na dogo ganodini diala, amo fawane da na higa: i hou hamosa.
This being so, the action is no longer my own, but is done by the sin which is within me.
18 Na osobo bagade hou amo ganodini, hou moloidafa afadafa da hamewane diala, amo na dawa: Na hou ganodini na da hou moloidafa hamomu hanai be hamomu hamedeiwane ba: sa.
I know that there is nothing good in me – I mean in my earthly nature. For, although it is easy for me to want to do right, to act rightly is not easy.
19 Na hou moloidafa hamomu hanai - be hamedei. Na da wadela: i hou hamomu higa: i, be amo fawane hamomusa: logo ba: sa.
I fail to do the good thing that I want to do, but the bad thing that I want not to do – that I habitually do.
20 Na da na higa: i liligi hamonanebeba: le, bai da amo hamosu, na nisu da hame hamosa. Wadela: i hou na dogo ganodini diala, amo fawane da amo hawa: hamosa.
But, when I do the thing that I want not to do, the action is no longer my own, but is done by the sin which is within me.
21 Amaiba: le, na hou ganodini na da hou eno hamonanebe ba: sa. Na da hou moloidafa hamomu hanai, be hamedeiba: le, wadela: i hou hamomu logo fawane ba: sa.
This, then, is the law that I find – when I want to do right, wrong presents itself!
22 Na a: silibu amo ganodini, na da Gode Ea Sema amoma nodosa.
At heart I delight in the Law of God;
23 Be na da sema hisu na da: i hodo ganodini ba: sa. Amo sema da na asigi dawa: su ganodini, Gode Ea Sema (amo na hamomu hanai) amoma gegenana. Amaiba: le, wadela: i hou sema na da: i hodo ganodini hamonanebe da nama se iasu diasu ouligisu dunu agoane gala.
but throughout my body I see a different law, one which is in conflict with the law accepted by my reason, and which endeavors to make me a prisoner to that law of sin which exists throughout my body.
24 Na da bagadewane da: i dioi gala. Na da: i dioi da bogoi ea da: i hodo agoane nama lala: gibiba: le, na da bu hahawane dogolegele laloma: ne, amo la: gi da nowa fadegama: bela: ?
Miserable man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body that is bringing me to this death?
25 Na da Godema nodosa! Bai E da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu Ea hamobeba: le, na se iasu la: gi fadegamu. Amaiba: le, na hou da agoane diala. Nisu da hawa: hamosea, na da Gode Ea hou na asigi dawa: su amo ganodini fawane hamosa. Be na hu ea hou amo ganodini wadela: i hou sema amoma fawane fa: no bobogesa.
Thank God, there is deliverance through Jesus Christ, our Lord! Well then, for myself, with my reason I serve the Law of God, but with my earthly nature the Law of sin.
