Romawa 7

1 Immriya, bi na toh na (me tere ni tu be wa mba toh turon) a ndi ituron a he ni son siseri ma?

Remember ye not brethren (I speake to them yt know the lawe) how that the lawe hath power over a man as longe as it endureth?

2 Nitu turon imba be gran mba he nimi lo. wa mba lon mba ba he ni sissri, wa a lu ka son ni idiri,

For the woman which is in subieccion to a man is bounde by the lawe to the man as longe as he liveth. Yf the man be deed she is lowsed from the lawe of the man.

3 mba yo de tarawa. U lon mani te quu, “a djur nimi turon ani ta hi gran idi ri ana hi ntara na.

So then yf whill the man liveth she couple her selfe with another man she shalbe counted a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed she is fre fro the lawe: so that she is no wedlocke breaker though she couple her selfe with another man.

4 Nakima, imri ya mu, mba du yi quu ni mi turo u mi kpa Almasihu, nakima. Ba du yi gran idiri wa mba ta shibe ni kubbu, de khi gdi imiri ni Irji.

Even so ye my brethren are deed concerninge the lawe by the body of Christ yt ye shuld be coupled to another (I meane to him that is rysen agayne fro deeth) that we shuld bringe forth frute vnto God.

5 Naki khi he ni mi kpa. Ison u kpa a ni chonta yo ni turon u khi gdi imiri ni mi khwu. Nakima ziza mba chuta djur ni mi turonye. Khi khwu nimi ikpi wa mba lota.

For when we were in the flesshe the lustes of synne which were stered vppe by ye lawe raygned in oure membres to bringe forth frute vnto deeth.

6 Zizah mba kpata chuwo ni turon. Khi na khwu nimi kpe a na lota a he nakhi du khi zere ni nkon sisama ni Ibrji. Ana he ni mi ha cice turo'a gana.

But now are we delivered fro the lawe and deed fro that whervnto we werein bondage that we shuld serve in a newe conversacion of ye sprete and not in ye olde conversacion of the letter.

7 Ziza khi tere de geh? wawu turon tuma a hi illa tere? Ana he naki na, nakima, anita na he ni tu turon na khina toh na ituron a hla mba ime mide na gaire ikpi idi na.

What shall we saye then? is ye lawe synne? God forbid: but I knewe not what synne meant but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant excepte the lawe had sayde thou shalt not lust.

8 E, lahtere a dhi ni mi dokoki da ji son kpa ye wa a he ni mi kpamu. bubu wa turon na he na latere a kubuma.

But synne toke an occasion by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscece. For with out the lawe synne was deed.

9 Ni nton ri me he ni siseri u turon ana he na u imbe a ye. i lahtre a tashbe. u mika khu.

I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed.

10 Imbe wa mla du nji siseire ye. U mi toh a he khubuma.

And the very same comaundement which was ordeyned vnto lyfe was founde to be vnto me an occasion of deeth.

11 Naki latere, a samu kon ni tu imbe, a nji son kpa wa a gurume. U ni tu imbe a wuma.

For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we.

12 Nakima, ituron a he tsr-tsara, u mlati mba ndendema.

Wherfore the lawe is holy and the commaundement holy iust and good.

13 E, u ikpi dedema ni mu a hi khuu naki? a he naki nitu imbe lahtere a he latere.

Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull.

14 U khi toh ituron u ibrji u me mihe ni mi kpa mbana ka me le ti gran ni latere

For we knowe that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne

15 Ni kpi wa meti me na mla toh na ikpi wa mina son ti me na ti na u kpi wa mina son na. Me kpa wa me kamu niwu mi tie u.

because I wote not what I doo. For what I wold that do I not: but what I hate that do I.

16 U me ta ti ikpi wa mena sona tina, mi kpa nyeme ni turon de ituron a bi.

Yf I do now that which I wolde not I graute to the lawe that it is good.

17 Ziza yi ana la he na kina. Ime wa mi ta tikima, u latere wa a he nime.

So then nowe it is not I that do it but synne that dwelleth in me.

18 Mi toh deni mi kpamu mina ti ikpi dedema nitu imere u ti kpi dedema a he ni me u mina ya ti u na.

For I knowe that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. To will is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that which is good.

19 Ni tu ikpi dedema wa mi son ti wu mina ya tiwu na, u meme tie wa mina sona, wa we yi me ti.

For I doo not yt good thinge which I wold: but that evill do I which I wolde not.

20 U mita ti ikpi wa mi nason ti'a na. Ee, ana he imeyi mi si tiu na a hi memeti wa a he ni me'a.

Finally yf I do that I wolde not then is it not I that doo it but synne that dwelleth in me doeth it.

21 N tu ki u me toh, ituron. Me ta ni son ti kpi dedema, u meme a he hwehwere ni me.

I fynde then by the lawe that when I wolde do good evyll is present with me.

22 Me giri ni turon u Irji ni mi sonromu.

I delite in the lawe of God concerninge the inner man.

23 U me toh ituron ni kankan nimi kpamu, mba ti ku ni turon sama wa a he nimi imere mu da ni yome ti gra ni tu turon latere wa a he ni kwma kpamu.

But I se another lawe in my membres rebellinge agaynst the lawe of my mynde and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne which is in my membres.

24 Mi idi u ya yi! A gha ni kpame chuwo nimi kpa u ahu?

O wretched man yt I am: who shall delyver me fro this body of deeth?

25 U me giri ni Irji ni tu Yesu Almasihu itibu. na ki ime ni tumu mi hu ituron u Irji ni sonron mu ko ni he, ni mi kpa me hu turo u latere.

I thanke God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde. So then I my silfe in my mynde serve the lawe of God and in my flesshe the lawe of synne.
