Romans 6
1 What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
Gịnị ọzọkwa ka anyị ga-ekwu? Anyị ga-anọgide nʼime mmehie ka amara na-aba ụba?
2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
E e! O kwesighị! Olee otu anyị ga-esi na-adị ndụ nʼime mmehie, mgbe anyị bụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼebe mmehie dị?
3 Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Ọ bụ na unu amataghị na mgbe ahụ e jikọtara anyị na Kraịst Jisọs na baptizim ka e jikọtakwara anyị na ya nʼọnwụ.
4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
Ya mere, esitere na baptizim likọọ anyị na ya nʼọnwụ, dịka e mere ka Kraịst site nʼọnwụ bilie nʼebube nke Nna, ka anyị sikwa otu a keta oke na ndụ ọhụrụ.
5 For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.
Ọ bụrụkwa na e jikọtaala anyị na ya nʼọnwụ, e jikọtakwala anyị na ya na mbilite nʼọnwụ.
6 We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
Nʼihi na anyị maara na a kpọgidekọtara ndụ nke ochie anyị na Kraịst nʼelu obe, iji mee ka anụ ahụ nke mmehie ahụ bụrụ ihe a lara nʼiyi, ka anyị bụrụkwa ndị nwere onwe ha site nʼịbụ ohu nke mmehie.
7 For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
Nʼihi na onye nwụrụ anwụ agụọla ya dịka onye nwere onwe ya site nʼebe mmehie dị.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
Ọ bụrụkwa nʼeziokwu na anyị na Kraịst nwụkọrọ ọnwụ, anyị makwara na anyị na ya ga-adịkọkwa ndụ ọzọ.
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
Nʼihi na anyị maara na ebe e mere ka Kraịst site nʼọnwụ bilie, ọ gaghị anwụkwa ọzọ. Ọnwụ enwekwaghị ike ọbụla nʼebe ọ nọ ọzọ.
10 The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
Ọ nwụrụ naanị otu mgbe nʼihi mmehie. Ma ndụ ọ na-adị ugbu a bụ nke ọ na-adị nye Chineke.
11 So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Ya mere, gụọ onwe unu ugbu a dịka ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼebe mmehie dị. Gụọkwa onwe gị dịka ndị dị ndụ nʼebe Chineke nọ nʼime Kraịst, site na Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
Unu ekwela ka mmehie na-achị eze nʼahụ unu ọzọ, nke ga-eme ka unu na-erubere agụụ nke anụ ahụ isi.
13 Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.
Unu a nakwala eche akụkụ ahụ unu ọbụla ka ọ bụrụ ngwa ọrụ ajọ omume. Kama cheenụ onwe unu nʼihu Chineke, dịka ndị esi nʼọnwụ kpọpụta nyefee na ndụ. Cheenụ akụkụ ahụ unu niile nʼihu Chineke dịka ngwa ọrụ nke ezi omume.
14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
Nʼihi na unu ekwesighị ị bụ ohu mmehie, ebe ọ bụ na unu anọkwaghị nʼokpuru iwu ọzọ, kama unu nọ nʼokpuru amara.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
Gịnịkwa? Anyị ga-eme mmehie nʼihi na anyị anọghị nʼokpuru iwu kama nʼokpuru amara? Mba! O kwesighị.
16 Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?
Ọ bụ na unu amataghị na mgbe unu weere onwe unu nye mmadụ irubere ya isi dịka ohu, unu bụ ohu nye onye ahụ unu na-erubere isi, maọbụ ohu nye mmehie nke na-eduba nʼọnwụ, ma ọ bụkwanụ irube isi nke na-eduba nʼezi omume?
17 But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.
Ma ekele dịrị Chineke nʼihi na ọ bụ ezie na unu bụrịị ohu nye mmehie, ma ugbu a, unu ejirila obi unu niile kpebie ịnabatara onwe unu ozizi ahụ e nyefere nʼaka unu.
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
Ugbu a, e meela ka unu nwere onwe unu site na mmehie, unu abụrụla ndị ohu ezi omume.
19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
Ana m eji ihe ịmaatụ site na ndụ a na-ebi kwa ụbọchị, nʼihi adịghị ike nke anụ ahụ mmadụ. Ya mere, dịka unu si were ahụ unu dị iche iche nye ịbụ ohu adịghị ọcha na ajọ omume nke na-abawanye ụba, sitekwanụ otu a were ha nye ugbu a ka ha bụrụ ohu ezi omume nke na-eduba nʼịdị nsọ.
20 For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
Mgbe unu bụ ohu mmehie, o nweghị ihe megidere unu ime ezi omume.
21 What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.
Ma gịnị bụ uru unu nwetara nʼoge ahụ site nʼọrụ ahụ niile unu rụrụ, bụ ihe ndị ahụ na-eme ka ihere mee unu? Ihe ndị ahụ na-eduba nʼọnwụ.
22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Ugbu a, e meela ka unu nwere onwe unu site na mmehie. Unu aghọọla ndị ohu Chineke. Uru unu na-erita bụ ịdị nsọ, ọgwụgwụ ya bụkwa ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
