Ŵaloma 6
1 Nipele, sambano tujileje uli? Ana tujendelechele kusigala mu sambi kuti umbone wa Akunnungu upunde?
THAT then shall we say? Shall we abide 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?
God forbid. We who are dead to sin, how shall we still live therein?
3 Pakuŵa nkumanyilila kuti twabatiswe nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Che Yesu, ni kwa litala lya ubatiso twalumbikene nawo mu chiwa chao.
Do ye not know, that as many as have been baptised into Christ Jesus have been baptised 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 have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should 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 been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also 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 hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7 Pakuŵa mundu jwawile ngakuŵa sooni paasi pa machili ga sambi syasikupanganya masengo nkati mwao.
For he that is dead is discharged from sin.
8 Nambo iŵaga tuwile pamo ni Kilisito, tukukulupilila kuti chitutame pamo nawo.
But if we have been dead with Christ, we believe that we shall 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 dieth no more; death over him hath no more dominion.
10 Pakuŵa ŵawile kamo pe kwa ligongo lya sambi, ngaawa sooni, nambo kwakutama kwakwe, sambano akutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu.
For in that he died, for sin he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth 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.
So also do ye account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Nipele, nkasileka sooni sambi sitawale mu iilu yenu ya kuwa, kuti nkasijitichisya tama sya pachiilu.
Let not therefore sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the passions thereof.
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.
Neither present your members as weapons of unrighteousness for sin: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness for God.
14 Sambi sinantawale sooni, ligongo nganimma paasi pa malajisyo nambo nkulongoswa ni ntuuka wa Akunnungu.
For sin shall not hold dominion over you: for ye are not under the 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 the law, but under grace? God forbid.
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 ye not know, that to whomsoever ye present yourselves servants to obey, ye are his servants to whom ye obey; if of sin unto death, or of obedience, unto 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 though ye were the servants of sin, ye have obeyed from the heart the model of doctrine into which ye were delivered.
18 Mmombochekwe kutyochela mu ukapolo wa sambi, ni sambano mmele achikapolo ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
Emancipated then from sin, ye became servants to 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 humanly, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have presented your members servants to impurity and iniquity for iniquity; so now present your members servants to righteousness for holiness.
20 Pamwalinji achikapolo ŵa sambi, nganintaŵikwa kupanganya indu yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye 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 therefore had ye then in those things at which ye are now confounded? 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 set at liberty from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and at the end life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
