Aroma 8
1 Choncho, tsopano amene ali mwa Khristu Yesu alibe mlandu owatsutsa
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;
2 chifukwa mwa Khristu Yesu, lamulo la Mzimu Woyera amene amapereka moyo, lawamasula ku lamulo la tchimo ndi la imfa.
for the Spirit's Law-- telling of Life in Christ Jesus--has set me free from the Law that deals only with sin and death.
3 Pakuti zimene Malamulo sanathe kuzichita, popeza anali ofowoka chifukwa cha khalidwe lathu la uchimo, Mulungu anazichita potumiza Mwana wake mʼchifanizo cha munthu ochimwa kuti akhale nsembe yauchimo. Ndipo Iye anagonjetsa tchimo mʼthupi la munthu,
For what was impossible to the Law--powerless as it was because it acted through frail humanity--God effected. Sending His own Son in a body like that of sinful human nature and as a sacrifice for sin, He pronounced sentence upon sin in human nature;
4 ndi cholinga chakuti chilungamo chofunikira cha lamulo chikwaniritsidwe kwathunthu mwa ife amene sitikhala monga mwachikhalidwe chathu cha uchimo koma mwa Mzimu.
in order that in our case the requirements of the Law might be fully met. For our lives are regulated not by our earthly, but by our spiritual natures.
5 Pakuti anthu amene amakhala monga mwa makhalidwe oyipa a thupi amayika malingaliro awo pa zinthu zathupi. Koma amene amakhala monga mwa Mzimu amayika malingaliro awo pa zinthu za Mzimu.
For if men are controlled by their earthly natures, they give their minds to earthly things. If they are controlled by their spiritual natures, they give their minds to spiritual things.
6 Kuyika mtima pa zathupi ndi imfa koma kuyika mtima pa za Mzimu ndi moyo ndi mtendere.
Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace.
7 Pakuti mtima umene wakhazikika pa zathupi ndi wodana ndi Mulungu. Sunagonjere lamulo la Mulungu ndipo sungathe kutero.
Abandonment to earthly things is a state of enmity to God. Such a mind does not submit to God's Law, and indeed cannot do so.
8 Ndipo anthu amene amalamulidwa ndi khalidwe lauchimo sangathe kukondweretsa Mulungu.
And those whose hearts are absorbed in earthly things cannot please God.
9 Koma inu simulamulidwanso ndi khalidwe lanu lauchimo koma ndi Mzimu ngati Mzimu wa Mulungu akhaladi mwa inu. Koma ngati munthu aliyense alibe Mzimu wa Khristu, iyeyu si wa Khristu.
You, however, are not devoted to earthly, but to spiritual things, if the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you; whereas if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, such a one does not belong to Him.
10 Ndipo ngati Khristu ali mwa inu, thupi lanu ndi lakufa chifukwa cha uchimo, koma mzimu wanu ndi wamoyo chifukwa cha chilungamo.
But if Christ is in you, though your body must die because of sin, yet your spirit has Life because of righteousness.
11 Ndipo ngati Mzimu wa Mulungu amene anaukitsa Yesu kwa akufa akhala mwa inu, Iyeyo amene anaukitsa Khristu kwa akufa adzapatsanso moyo matupi anu amene amafa kudzera mwa Mzimu wake amene amakhala mwa inu.
And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.
12 Kotero abale, ife tili ndi zoti tikwaniritse, koma osati za khalidwe lathu lauchimo, kumachita zofuna zake.
Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.
13 Pakuti ngati inu mukhala monga mwa khalidwe lauchimo, mudzafa. Koma ngati mwa Mzimu mupha ntchito zoyipa zathupi, mudzakhala ndi moyo.
For if you so live, death is near; but if, through being under the sway of the spirit, you are putting your old bodily habits to death, you will live.
14 Onse amene amatsogozedwa ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu ndi ana a Mulungu.
For those who are led by God's Spirit are, all of them, God's sons.
15 Mzimu amene inu munalandira samakusandutsani akapolo, kuti muzikhalanso amantha, koma Mzimu amakusandutsani ana. Ndipo mwa Iye ife timafuwula kuti, “Abba, Atate.”
You have not for the second time acquired the consciousness of being--a consciousness which fills you with terror. But you have acquired a deep inward conviction of having been adopted as sons--a conviction which prompts us to cry aloud, "Abba! our Father!"
16 Mzimu mwini amavomerezana ndi mzimu wathu kuti ife ndife ana a Mulungu.
The Spirit Himself bears witness, along with our own spirits, to the fact that we are children of God;
17 Tsono ngati tili ana ake, ndiye kuti ndife olowa mʼmalo a Mulungu ndi olowa mʼmalo pamodzi ndi Khristu. Ngati ife timva zowawa pamodzi ndi Khristu, tidzalandiranso ndi ulemerero womwe pamodzi naye.
and if children, then heirs too--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ; if indeed we are sharers in Christ's sufferings, in order that we may also be sharers in His glory.
18 Ine ndiganiza kuti masautso amene tikuwamva nthawi ino, sakufanana ndi ulemerero umene udzaonetsedwa mwa ife.
Why, what we now suffer I count as nothing in comparison with the glory which is soon to be manifested in us.
19 Pakuti chilengedwe chikudikira ndi chiyembekezo kuonetsedwa poyera kwa ana a Mulungu.
For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 Pakuti chilengedwe sichinasankhe kugonjera zopanda pake, koma mwachifuniro cha Iye amene analola kuti chigonjere. Koma chili ndi chiyembekezo
For the Creation fell into subjection to failure and unreality (not of its own choice, but by the will of Him who so subjected it).
21 chakuti chidzamasulidwa ku ukapolo wa chivundi ndi kulandiranso ufulu ndi ulemerero wa ana a Mulungu.
Yet there was always the hope that at last the Creation itself would also be set free from the thraldom of decay so as to enjoy the liberty that will attend the glory of the children of God.
22 Ife tikudziwa kuti chilengedwe chonse chakhala chikubuwula ndi ululu ngati ululu wa nthawi yobereka mwana mpaka tsopano lino.
For we know that the whole of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.
23 Si zokhazo ayi, ngakhale ife tomwe, amene tili ndi zipatso zoyamba za Mzimu, tikubuwulira mʼkati mwathu pomwe tikudikira mwachidwi kusankhidwa kwathu ngati ana, kuwomboledwa kwa matupi athu.
And more than that, we ourselves, though we possess the Spirit as a foretaste and pledge of the glorious future, yet we ourselves inwardly sigh, as we wait and long for open recognition as sons through the deliverance of our bodies.
24 Pakuti ife tinapulumutsidwa mʼchiyembekezo ichi. Koma chiyembekezo chimene chimaoneka si chiyembekezo ayi. Kodi ndani amene amayembekezera chimene ali nacho kale?
It is in hope that we have been saved. But an object of hope is such no longer when it is present to view; for when a man has a thing before his eyes, how can he be said to hope for it?
25 Koma ngati ife tiyembekeza chimene tikanalibe, ndiye kuti tikuyembekeza modekha mtima.
But if we hope for something which we do not see, then we eagerly and patiently wait for it.
26 Momwemonso, Mzimu amatithandiza ife mʼkufowoka kwathu. Ife sitidziwa momwe tiyenera kupempherera koma Mzimu mwini amatipempherera mobuwula ndi mawu osafotokozedwa.
In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words,
27 Koma Iye amene amasanthula mitima yathu amadziwa maganizo a Mzimu, chifukwa Mzimu amapempherera oyera mtima molingana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu.
and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit's meaning is, because His intercessions for God's people are in harmony with God's will.
28 Ndipo ife tikudziwa kuti zinthu zonse zimathandizana kuwachitira ubwino amene amakonda Mulungu, amene anayitanidwa monga mwa cholinga chake.
Now we know that for those who love God all things are working together for good--for those, I mean, whom with deliberate purpose He has called.
29 Pakuti amene Mulungu anawadziwiratu, anawasankhiratunso kuti akonzedwe mʼchifanizo cha Mwana wake, kuti Iye akhale Mwana woyamba kubadwa mwa abale ambiri.
For those whom He has known beforehand He has also pre-destined to bear the likeness of His Son, that He might be the Eldest in a vast family of brothers;
30 Iwo amene anawasankhiratu, anawayitananso. Amene Iye anawayitana anawalungamitsanso ndipo amene anawalungamitsa anawapatsanso ulemerero.
and those whom He has pre-destined He also has called; and those whom He has called He has also declared free from guilt; and those whom He has declared free from guilt He has also crowned with glory.
31 Nanga tsono tidzanena chiyani pa izi? Ngati Mulungu ali mbali yathu, adzatitsutsa ife ndani?
What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us?
32 Iye amene sanatimane Mwana wake wa Iye yekha, koma anamupereka chifukwa cha ife tonse. Iye adzalekeranjinso pamodzi naye kutipatsa ife zinthu zonse mwaulere?
He who did not withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
33 Ndani amene adzabweretsa mlandu kutsutsa amene Mulungu anawasankha? Ndi Mulungu amene amalungamitsa.
Who shall impeach those whom God has chosen? God declares them free from guilt.
34 Ndani amene angatipeze ife olakwa? Palibe. Khristu Yesu amene anafa, kuposera pamenepo, amene anaukitsidwa ndi moyo, amene ali kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu ndiye amene akutipempherera.
Who is there to condemn them? Christ Jesus died, or rather has risen to life again. He is also at the right hand of God, and is interceding for us.
35 Ndani amene adzatilekanitsa ife ndi chikondi cha Khristu? Kodi ndi masautso, kapena zowawa, kapena mazunzo, kapena njala, kapena umaliseche, kapena choopsa, kapena lupanga?
Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger or the sword?
36 Monga kwalembedwa: “Chifukwa cha inu, ife tikuphedwa tsiku lonse: ife tikutengedwa ngati nkhosa zoti zikaphedwe.”
As it stands written in the Scripture, "For Thy sake they are, all day long, trying to kill us. We have been looked upon as sheep destined for slaughter."
37 Ayi, mu zonsezi ife ndife oposa agonjetsi mwa Iye amene anatikonda.
Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who has loved us.
38 Pakuti ine ndatsimikiza ndi mtima wonse kuti ngakhale imfa, kapena moyo, ngakhale angelo, kapena ziwanda, ngakhale zinthu zilipo, kapena zili mʼtsogolo, kapena mphamvu zina,
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither the lower ranks of evil angels nor the higher, neither things present nor things future, nor the forces of nature,
39 ngakhale kutalika, kapena kuya, kapena chilichonse mʼchilengedwe chonse, sizingathe kutisiyanitsa ndi chikondi cha Mulungu chimene chili mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye athu.
nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God which rests upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
