Romawa 6
1 Zizan ki tre ngye? Kita lah tre chachuu ni du ndindi kagon?
So what's our response? Should we continue to sin so we can have even more grace?
2 Ana taba ti naki na. Ba ti ni he da tre ndi kita wa ki kwu nimi lah tre, kita cigaba sun nimi ma?
Of course not! Since we're already dead to sin, how can we continue to live in sin?
3 Bina toh ndi bi wa ba ngla ba nimi Almasihu Yesu ba ngla ba hra nimi kwu ma na?
Don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Ba rju ta ni'u, na ngla nimi kwu ma. Nakima ahe na Almasihu a lunde ni be nimi ninkon Iti Ma. Nakima i kita me ki zren nimi rayuwa i sa'a ma.
Through baptism we were buried with him in death so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father we too can live a new life.
5 Naki inde ki si he ni'u nimi kamani ikwu ma, i ki sun ni'u har ni kamani lunde ma.
If we've become one with him in dying like he did, then we'll be raised like him too.
6 Naki a ki toh ndi ba kpa u ni kunkro, ichiche ndji u mbu i ni'u ma don duba wu kpa u lahtre. Wa i ahe don kina ta hi nimi bautar lahtre.
We know that our old self was crucified with him to dispose of the dead body of sin so that we wouldn't be enslaved by sin any longer.
7 Duk wa a kwu ba you ni matayin nitu ndindi nitu lahtre.
Anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Naki ki kwu ni Almasihu ndi kpa njanji, iki sun ni wu
Since we died with Christ, we have confidence that we will also live with him,
9 Ki he ni toh ndi ba nzu Almasihu rju ni be, nakima ana lah ikub ngana, ikwu na he ni gbengblen nitu na.
for we know that because Christ has been raised from the dead he won't ever die, because death has no longer any power over him.
10 Na ikwu wa a ti ni lahtre, ati kpu riri nitu wawuu. Nzren wa asi zren, asi zren niIrji.
In dying, he died to sin once and for all, but now he lives, and he lives for God!
11 Nakima bi yi me, bika bah tumbi ni matsayin bi kwu ni lahtre, aman bi wa ba he vri ni Irji ni mi Almasihu Yesu.
In just the same way you should consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God through Christ Jesus.
12 Naki bika na no lahtre gbengblen ni mi kpambi na har ndi woh tre ni sun kpa.
Don't let sin have control over your mortal body, don't give in to its temptations,
13 Na vu gham kpa mbi no lahtre nitu ikpi u du wa njanji na he na. Naki bika no Irji tumbi ni vri ni kwu. Bika vu ngham kpambi no Irji nitu ikpi du u njanji.
and don't use any parts of your body as evil tools of sin. Instead dedicate yourselves to God as those who have been brought back from death to life, and use all parts of your body as tools to do something good for God.
14 Na no lahtre nkon ni tumbi na, bina he nimi doka na, naki nimi ndindi bi he.
Sin won't rule over you, because you're not under law but under grace.
15 To se ngyeh kika ti lahtre don kina he nimi doka na, ama ni ndindi, ana taba he naki na.
So then, should we sin because we're not under law, but under grace? Of course not!
16 Bina toh ndi bi ban tumbi no nitu igran, ni wu bi gran? Wa i ahi najinji, inde bi gran ni lahtre, wa ani nji yi hi ni kwu, ko naki igran ni wo tre ni nji hi ni ndindi.
Don't you realize that if you make yourselves someone's slaves, obeying their orders, then you are slaves to the one you obey? If you are slaves of sin, the result is death; if you obey God, the result is you are made right with him.
17 Naki ma ingyiri a he ni Irji, don ni sen bina gran lahtre, ama bi yi biyaya nimi suron mbi irin koh koyarwa wa ba noyi.
Thank God that though you once were slaves to sin, you whole-heartedly chose to follow the truth about God that you learned.
18 Ba kpa yi chuwo ni mi bautar lahtre, nda kma yi ti gran bi ndindi.
Now that you've been freed from sin, you've become slaves of doing what is morally right.
19 Misi tre ni yi na ndji wa a ku nyere ni nanma kpa ni yin. Na yadda bika ban nghan kpambi ga ti rji na bi meme du, nakima zizan bika ban ngham kpambi ni tu gran ndindi.
I'm using this everyday example because your human thinking is limited. Just as you once enslaved yourselves to immorality, piling up sin upon sin, now you must enslave yourselves to what is pure and right.
20 Naki ma itoh wa bi hi gran lahtre, bi yi wa ba kpa yi chuwo ni ndindi.
When you were slaves to sin you were not required to do what's right.
21 Ni toh kima ahi amfani ngye bi samu nitu ndu wa zizan'a bi si klu shan ba? Nakima sakamaki bi ya indu hi kwu.
But what were the results back then? Aren't you ashamed of the things you did? Such things that lead to death!
