Ŵaloma 6
1 Nipele, sambano tujileje uli? Ana tujendelechele kusigala mu sambi kuti umbone wa Akunnungu upunde?
What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin so that grace may abound?
2 Ngwamba! Patukusala nkati machili ga sambi syasili mwetuwe, uweji tuli mpela ŵatuwile, ana tutukombole uli kutama sooni mu sambi?
Certainly not! How can we who have died to sin still live in it?
3 Pakuŵa nkumanyilila kuti twabatiswe nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Che Yesu, ni kwa litala lya ubatiso twalumbikene nawo mu chiwa chao.
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been 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.
Therefore we were buried with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too 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 certainly also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection.
6 Tukumanyilila kuti wende wetu wa kalakala waŵambikwe pa nsalaba pamo ni Kilisito kuti chiilu cha sambi chijonasiche, tukasitumichila sooni sambi.
For we know that our old self has been crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
7 Pakuŵa mundu jwawile ngakuŵa sooni paasi pa machili ga sambi syasikupanganya masengo nkati mwao.
For he who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Nambo iŵaga tuwile pamo ni Kilisito, tukukulupilila kuti chitutame pamo nawo.
Now if we have 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.
For we know that Christ, having been 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 once for all; 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.
So you also must consider yourselves 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 bodies so that you obey it in the body's sinful desires.
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.
And do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
14 Sambi sinantawale sooni, ligongo nganimma paasi pa malajisyo nambo nkulongoswa ni ntuuka wa Akunnungu.
For sin will have no 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? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
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 you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading 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, though you were slaves of sin, you have become obedient from the heart to the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted,
18 Mmombochekwe kutyochela mu ukapolo wa sambi, ni sambano mmele achikapolo ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
and having been set free from sin, you have become slaves 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 am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
20 Pamwalinji achikapolo ŵa sambi, nganintaŵikwa kupanganya indu yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to 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.
So what fruit did you have at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end result 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 that you have been set free from sin and become slaves of God, you have fruit that leads to sanctification, and the end result is eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
