Romawa 6
1 Zizan ki tre ngye? Kita lah tre chachuu ni du ndindi kagon?
To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?
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?
No, indeed; how shall we who have died to sin, live in it any longer?
3 Bina toh ndi bi wa ba ngla ba nimi Almasihu Yesu ba ngla ba hra nimi kwu ma na?
And do you not know that all of us who have been 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.
Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.
5 Naki inde ki si he ni'u nimi kamani ikwu ma, i ki sun ni'u har ni kamani lunde ma.
For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.
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.
This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;
7 Duk wa a kwu ba you ni matayin nitu ndindi nitu lahtre.
for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.
8 Naki ki kwu ni Almasihu ndi kpa njanji, iki sun ni wu
But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall 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.
because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.
10 Na ikwu wa a ti ni lahtre, ati kpu riri nitu wawuu. Nzren wa asi zren, asi zren niIrji.
Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to 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 the same way you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.
12 Naki bika na no lahtre gbengblen ni mi kpambi na har ndi woh tre ni sun kpa.
Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;
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 no longer lend your faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the right.
14 Na no lahtre nkon ni tumbi na, bina he nimi doka na, naki nimi ndindi bi he.
For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.
15 To se ngyeh kika ti lahtre don kina he nimi doka na, ama ni ndindi, ana taba he naki na.
Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!
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.
Do you not know that if you surrender yourselves as bondservants to obey any one, you become the bondservants of him whom you obey, whether the bondservants of Sin (with death as the result) or of Duty (resulting in righteousness)?
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.
But thanks be to God that though you were once in thraldom to Sin, you have now yielded a hearty obedience to that system of truth in which you have been instructed.
18 Ba kpa yi chuwo ni mi bautar lahtre, nda kma yi ti gran bi ndindi.
You were set free from the tyranny of Sin, and became the bondservants of Righteousness--
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.
your human infirmity leads me to employ these familiar figures--and just as you once surrendered your faculties into bondage to Impurity and ever-increasing disregard of Law, so you must now surrender them into bondage to Righteousness ever advancing towards perfect holiness.
20 Naki ma itoh wa bi hi gran lahtre, bi yi wa ba kpa yi chuwo ni ndindi.
For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness.
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.
At that time, then, what benefit did you get from conduct which you now regard with shame? Why, such things finally result in death.
22 Naki zizan wa ba kpa yi chuwo ni lahtre, nda kma yi ti gran Irji, amfani ma, wawu hi tsarkakewar mbi. Sakamanko ki hi ivri u se kakle. (aiōnios g166)
But now that you have been set free from the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy, and you have the Life of the Ages as the final result. (aiōnios g166)
