Ŵaloma 8
1 Kwa yeleyo, sambano nganikupagwa kulamulikwa kwa kwamukwa kwa aŵala ŵakutama mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;
2 Pakuŵa malajisyo ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwakwichisya umi mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu gaamombwele une kutyochela mu lilajisyo lya sambi ni chiwa.
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 Akunnungu achitesile achila changanichikomboleka kutendekwa ni malajisyo ga che Musa pakuŵa tama syetu syangalumbana syatupagwile nasyo syatesile Malajisyo go gaŵe gakulepetala. Akunnungu ŵantumile Mwanagwe jwa jika juŵaliji ni chiilu chisau ni iilu yetu uweji ŵatuli ni sambi, kuti asilamule sambi mu iilu yetu, ni kwa chiilu chakwe cho ŵasiuleje sambi.
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 Akunnungu ŵatesile yeleyo kuti aila yaikusachilwa mu Malajisyo ga che Musa gatendekwe kwa uchenene nkati mwetu uwe ŵatukutama ngaŵa kwa machili ga tama syangalumbana sya chiilu syatupagwile nasyo, nambo kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
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 Pakuŵa ŵelewo ŵakutama kwa kusikuya tama syangalumbana sya chiilu syapagwile nasyo, nganisyo syao sikulongoswa ni tama syao syangalumbana. Nambo ŵelewo ŵakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, akuiganisya indu ya mu Mbumu.
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 Kuipanganya indu yaikusachilwa ni tama syangalumbana sya chiilu kukuichisya chiwa. Nambo, kuipanganya indu yaikusachilwa ni Mbumu kukuichisya umi ni chitendewele.
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 Pakuŵa mundu jwakulongoswa ni tama syangalumbana syapagwile nasyo pe ali jwammagongo jwa Akunnungu, ngakugapilikanichisya malajisyo ga Akunnungu, namose ngakupakombola kugapilikanichisya.
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 Ni ŵelewo ŵakulongoswa ni tama syangalumbana sya chiilu syapagwile nasyo ngakupakombola kwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
And those whose hearts are absorbed in earthly things cannot please God.
9 Nambo iŵaga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akutama nkati mwenu, ŵanyamwe ngankulongoswa ni tama syangalumbana syampagwile nasyo, nambo nkulongoswa ni Mbumu. Mundu jwalijose jwanganakola Mbumu jwa Kilisito nganaŵa mundu jwa Kilisito.
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 Nambo iŵaga Kilisito akutama nkati mwenu, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akumpanga umi pakuŵa mmalanjikwe kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, namuno iilu yenu chiiwe kwa ligongo lya sambi.
But if Christ is in you, though your body must die because of sin, yet your spirit has Life because of righteousness.
11 Ni iŵaga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu juŵansyusisye Kilisito Yesu akutama nkati mwenu, jwelejo juŵansyusisye Kilisito Yesu, iyoyo chachiipa umi iilu yenu yaikuwa. Chatende yeleyo kwa litala lya Mbumu jwao jwakutama nkati mwenu.
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 Nipele, achalongo achinjangu, tukwete ligambo, nambo ngaŵa lya kusikuya tama syetu syangalumbana sya chiilu syatupagwile nasyo syasikuti pakutusaka.
Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.
13 Pakuŵa mwatamaga kwa kusikuya tama syangalumbana syampagwile nasyo, isyene chinjasiche. Nambo kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu chinyiulaje isambo yangalumbana iyatendekwe ni chiilu nipele chinchilama.
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 Ŵandu wose ŵakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵelewo ali ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu.
For those who are led by God's Spirit are, all of them, God's sons.
15 Pakuŵa nganimpochela Mbumu jwakuntenda ŵanyamwe achikapolo ni kwichisya lipamba, nambo mumpochele Mbumu jwakuntenda ŵanyamwe ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, ni kwa Mbumu jo, uweji tukwaŵilanga Akunnungu, “Aba” malumbo gakwe Atati.
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 Ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu nsyene akuŵalanga umboni pamo ni mbumu syetu, yakuti uweji tuli ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu.
The Spirit Himself bears witness, along with our own spirits, to the fact that we are children of God;
17 Pakuŵa uweji tuli ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, tutupochele aila yatugosele Akunnungu tutupochele pamo ni Kilisito, pakuŵa iŵaga tulageswe pamo ni ŵelewo, iyoyo chitutame pamo ni ŵelewo mu ukulu wao.
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 Pakuŵa nguŵalanga kuti masausyo ga moŵa gano ngaŵa chindu ni ngagakuŵajilwa kulinganichikwa ni ukulu utichimanyiswa kukwetu.
Why, what we now suffer I count as nothing in comparison with the glory which is soon to be manifested in us.
19 Nombe yepanganyikwe yose ikulindilila kwa lung'wanu lwekulungwa kuunukulikwa kwa ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu.
For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 Pakuŵa yepanganyikwe yose yagalauchikwe ni kuŵa yangalimate, ngaŵa kwa kusaka yepanganyikwe isyene, nambo yatendekwe yeleyo kwa kusaka kwakwe Akunnungu nsyene. Namose kwana chilolelo,
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 pakuŵa yepanganyikwe yo nombe chiilecheleswe kutyochela mu ukapolo wa konanga ni kwinjila mu kulechelelwa kwekulu kwa ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu.
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 Pakuŵa tukumanyilila kuti mpaka sambano yepanganyikwe yose ikuwuwula mpela ila jwankongwe yakuti pakupikana chilungusi katema ka kuligopola.
For we know that the whole of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.
23 Ngaŵa yepenganyikwe yo pe ni ichiwuwule, nambo nowe ŵakwe ŵatukwete mbumu, nti ntuuka waandanda wa Akunnungu, iyoyo tukuwuwula mu mitima jetu, tuchilindililaga kwa lung'wanu lyuŵa lyati Akunnungu litachituunukule kuti tuli ŵanache ŵao ŵa usyene ni kuigalausya iilu yetu kuŵa ya sambano.
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 Pakuŵa twakulupwiswe, nombe tuli mu chilolelo. Nambo mundu achionaga chindu chakuchilolela, chelecho ngaŵa chilolelo sooni. Pakuŵa ana ŵaani ŵakukombola kuendelechela kuchilolela chindu chakuchiona?
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 Nambo twachilolelaga chindu chingatukuchiona tukuchilindilila mu upililiu.
But if we hope for something which we do not see, then we eagerly and patiently wait for it.
26 Iyoyo peyo, ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akutukamuchisya mu kulepetala kwetu. Pakuŵa ngatukumanyilila itukuŵajilwa kupopela, nambo Mbumu nsyene akutupopelela kwa Akunnungu nkuwuwula kwangatukukombola kukuŵalanga.
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 Ni Akunnungu ŵakwiwona yaili mu mitima jetu, iyoyo akuimanyilila chakuchiganisya Mbumu jo, pakuŵa Mbumu akwapopelela ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu mpela yaikuti kwanonyela Akunnungu.
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 Tukwimanyilila kuti mu indu yose, Akunnungu akupanganya masengo kwa upoche wa aŵala ŵakwanonyela, yaani ŵeŵala ŵaŵilanjikwe kutenda malinga ni lisosa lyao.
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 Pakuŵa aŵala Akunnungu ŵaŵamanyilile chitandile kundanda ni ŵaŵasagwile kuti alandane ni Mwanagwe, kuti Mwanagwe jo aŵe jwandanda kupagwa pasikati ja achapwakwe ŵajinji.
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 Ni aŵala ŵaŵasagulikwe chitandile kundanda, ni ŵawowo ŵaŵaaŵilasile, ni ŵele ŵaŵaaŵilasile, ŵelewo ŵaŵalanjile kuŵa ŵambone paujo pao, ni ŵele ŵaŵaŵalanjile kuŵa ŵambone paujo pao, ŵelewo ni ŵaŵaakusisye.
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 Kwapele, Ana tujileje uli nkati yeleyi yose? Iŵaga Akunnungu ali upaande wetu, ŵaani ŵachakombole kutukanila uwe?
What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us?
32 Akunnungu nganankolela chanasa Mwanagwe jwa jikape, nambo ŵantyosisye kwa ligongo lya uweji wose. Iŵaga atesile yeleyo, ana chalepele chinauli kutupa indu yose pangalipila pamo ni Mwanagwe?
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 Ana ŵaani ŵachakombole kwaŵechetela magambo ŵandu ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu? Akunnungu nsyene ŵaŵalanjile kuŵa ŵangali ileŵo.
Who shall impeach those whom God has chosen? God declares them free from guilt.
34 Ana ŵaani ŵachachitulamula? Ngaŵa Kilisito Yesu! Pakuŵa Kilisito Yesu ni juŵawile, ni kupunda yeleyo ŵasyuchile, ni sambano akutama kundyo kwa Akunnungu, ni ŵelewo ni ŵakutupopelela.
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 Ana ŵaani ŵakukombola kutulekanganya ni unonyelo wa Kilisito? Ana kulaga pane kusauka pane ipwetesi pane sala pane usauchi pane kogoya pane chiwa?
Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger or the sword?
36 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Kwa ligongo lyenu tukutama mu chakogoya cha chiwa moŵa gose, tuŵalanjikwe nti ngondolo sya kusinga.”
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 Nambo mwa yele yose uweji tukupunda, elo kupunda mwakupunda mwa ŵele ŵakutunonyela.
Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who has loved us.
38 Pakuŵa ngumanyilila isyene kuti, ngapagwa chindu chachikukombola kutulekanganya ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu, atamuno chiwa, atamuno umi, atamuno achikatumetume ŵa kwinani, atamuno machili gane ga kwinani, atamuno indu yaikukopochela sambano yi, atamuno ichikopochele yo, atamuno ŵakutawala,
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 atamuno yaili mwinani, atamuno yaili paasi, atamuno yepanganyikwe yaili yose ngaikombola kutulekanganya ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu, wauli mwa Kilisito Yesu Ambuje ŵetu.
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.
