Ŵaloma 6
1 Nipele, sambano tujileje uli? Ana tujendelechele kusigala mu sambi kuti umbone wa Akunnungu upunde?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Ngwamba! Patukusala nkati machili ga sambi syasili mwetuwe, uweji tuli mpela ŵatuwile, ana tutukombole uli kutama sooni mu sambi?
May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 Pakuŵa nkumanyilila kuti twabatiswe nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Che Yesu, ni kwa litala lya ubatiso twalumbikene nawo mu chiwa chao.
Or do not you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Patwabatisilwe twalumbikene ni chiwa chao ni kusikwa pamo nawo, kuti mpela iŵatite pakusyuswa Kilisito mu ŵawe kwa litala lya ukulu wa Atati, iyoyo peyo noweji tukombole kutama mu umi wa sambano.
We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 Pakuŵa iŵaga uweji twalumbikene ni Kilisito kwa chiwa chao, iyoyo peyo tutulumbikane nawo kwa kusyuswa mpela ŵelewo.
For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
6 Tukumanyilila kuti wende wetu wa kalakala waŵambikwe pa nsalaba pamo ni Kilisito kuti chiilu cha sambi chijonasiche, tukasitumichila sooni sambi.
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
7 Pakuŵa mundu jwawile ngakuŵa sooni paasi pa machili ga sambi syasikupanganya masengo nkati mwao.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Nambo iŵaga tuwile pamo ni Kilisito, tukukulupilila kuti chitutame pamo nawo.
But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
9 Pakuŵa tukumanyilila kuti Kilisito asyuchile, nombewo ngaawa sooni, pakuŵa chiwa ngachatawala sooni.
knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
10 Pakuŵa ŵawile kamo pe kwa ligongo lya sambi, ngaawa sooni, nambo kwakutama kwakwe, sambano akutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu.
For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe nombe nliŵalanje ŵawe nkati ngani ja machili ga sambi ni kutama pamo ni Akunnungu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Nipele, nkasileka sooni sambi sitawale mu iilu yenu ya kuwa, kuti nkasijitichisya tama sya pachiilu.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 Kasinyikoposya iŵalo yenu nachiŵamuno chimo kwa ligongo lya kutenda sambi. Nambo nlityosye mwachinsyene kwa Akunnungu nti ŵandu ŵasyuswe, ni nnyityosye iŵalo yenu itumiche kwa kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 Sambi sinantawale sooni, ligongo nganimma paasi pa malajisyo nambo nkulongoswa ni ntuuka wa Akunnungu.
For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Nipele, tujileje uli? Ana tujendelechele kutenda sambi pakuŵa nganituŵa paasi pa malajisyo, nambo tukulongoswa ni ntuuka wa umbone wa Akunnungu? Ngwamba!
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
16 Nkumanyililanga kuti mwalityosyaga mwachinsyene mpela achikapolo kwa kunjitichisya mundu jwine, isyene nkuŵa achikapolo ŵa mundu jo. Mwaŵaga achikapolo ŵa sambi, mbesi jakwe chiwa ni mwaŵaga achikapolo ŵa kwajitichisya Akunnungu, mbesi jakwe nkutendekwa kuŵa ŵambone paujo pao.
Do not you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 Nambo ngwatogolela Akunnungu, namose mwaliji achikapolo ŵa sambi kalakala ko, nambo sambano mpochele kwa ntima wose usyene wauli mmajiganyo gimpochele.
But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
18 Mmombochekwe kutyochela mu ukapolo wa sambi, ni sambano mmele achikapolo ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
19 Nguŵecheta kwa maloŵe ga moŵa gose pakuŵa ngankukombola kumanyilila. Pakuŵa kalakala ko mwalityosisye iilu yenu mme achikapolo ŵa usakwa ni ugongomalo. Iyoyo peyo sambano nlityosye mwachinsyene mme achikapolo ŵakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu kuti nkombole kuswejeswa.
I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
20 Pamwalinji achikapolo ŵa sambi, nganintaŵikwa kupanganya indu yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 Ana mwapochile chichi pa moŵa go pamwapangenye indu yankuiwona kuti ili indu ya soni sambano jino? Pakuŵa kumbesi kwa indu yo kuli chiwa.
What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 Nambo sambano mmasile kuwombolwa mu ukapolo wa sambi ni kutendekwa achikapolo ŵa Akunnungu. Chinkupoka sambano chili kutama mu kuswejeswa kwakukwikanawo umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
