Romans 6
1 What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
Boye, toloba nini? Tosalaka na biso masumu mpo ete ngolu efuluka koleka?
2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
Soki moke te! Biso oyo tosila kokufa mpo na lisumu, ndenge nini tozongela lisusu kotambola kati na masumu?
3 Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Boni, boyebi te ete biso nyonso oyo tosila kobatisama kati na Yesu-Klisto tozwaki nde libatisi kati na kufa na Ye?
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.
Bakundaki biso elongo na Ye na nzela ya libatisi kati na kufa na Ye mpo ete, lokola Klisto asekwaki kati na bakufi na nzela ya nkembo ya Tata, biso mpe totambola na bomoi ya sika.
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.
Pamba te soki tosanganaki elongo na Ye kati na kufa na Ye, solo tokosangana mpe elongo na Ye kati na lisekwa na Ye.
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.
Pamba te toyebi malamu ete bomoto ya kala ebakamaki na ekulusu elongo na Klisto mpo ete nzoto na biso lokola esalelo ya lisumu ekufa mpe tozala lisusu bawumbu ya lisumu te.
7 For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
Moto nyonso oyo asilaki kokufa atangamaki lokola moto ya sembo: azali lisusu te na se ya bokonzi ya lisumu.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
Nzokande, lokola tosila kokufa elongo na Klisto, tozali kondima ete tokozala mpe na bomoi elongo na Ye.
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
Pamba te toyebi malamu ete Klisto oyo asekwaki kati na bakufi akokufa lisusu te; kufa ezali lisusu na bokonzi te likolo na Ye.
10 The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
Akufaki mpo na lisumu mbala moko mpo na libela; kasi sik’oyo azali na bomoi, mpe azali na bomoi mpo na Nzambe.
11 So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Boye bino mpe, bomimona lokola bakufi mpo na lisumu, kasi lokola bato ya bomoi mpo na Nzambe kati na Yesu-Klisto.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
Yango wana, tika ete lisumu ezala lisusu na bokonzi te kati na banzoto na bino, oyo ekokufa; mpe bosengeli lisusu te kotosa baposa na yango ya mabe.
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.
Bokaba biteni ya banzoto na bino te na lisumu lokola bisalelo mpo na mabe, kasi bomikaba bino moko epai na Nzambe lokola bato oyo basekwa kati na bakufi mpe bazali na bomoi; mpe bokabela Ye biteni ya banzoto na bino lokola bisalelo mpo na bosembo.
14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
Pamba te lisumu ekozala lisusu na bokonzi te likolo na bino, pamba te bozali lisusu na se ya bokonzi ya Mobeko te, kasi na se ya ngolu.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
Boye toloba nini? Tokoba kosala masumu mpo ete tozali na se ya bokonzi ya Mobeko te kasi na se ya ngolu? Soki moke te!
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?
Boni, boyebi te ete soki bomikabi epai ya moto lokola bawumbu mpo na kotosa ye bokomi nde bawumbu ya moto oyo bozali kotosa to bawumbu ya lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa to bawumbu ya botosi oyo ememaka na bosembo?
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.
Kasi tika ete tozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe! Soki na kala bozalaki bawumbu ya lisumu, kasi sik’oyo bokomi kotosa na motema mobimba mateya oyo bateyaki bino,
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
bosili kokangolama na bowumbu ya lisumu mpe bokomi bawumbu ya bosembo.
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.
Nazali koloba awa lokola moto mpo na bolembu na bino ya bomoto. Ndenge na kala, bokabaki biteni ya banzoto na bino na bowumbu ya misala ya mbindo mpe ya mabe mpo na kosala mabe, ndenge wana mpe bokaba yango sik’oyo na bowumbu ya bosembo mpo na kotambola na bomoi ya bosantu.
20 For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
Tango bozalaki nanu bawumbu ya lisumu, bozalaki na bonsomi liboso ya bosembo.
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.
Nzokande, litomba nini bozwaki na tango wana oyo bozalaki kosala makambo oyo ezali koyokisa bino lelo soni, pamba te ememaka na kufa?
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)
Kasi awa bolongwe sik’oyo na se ya bowumbu ya lisumu mpe bokomi na se ya bowumbu ya Nzambe, litomba oyo bozwi ezali bomoi ya bosantu, mpe suka na yango ezali bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
