Romans 6
1 What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
Nomba lino ngatwambaconi? Sena tupitilishe kwikala mubwipishi kwambeti kwinamoyo kwa Lesa kukonempe?
2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
Sobwe! Afwe twalabeti twafwa pakwamba sha ngofu sha bwipishi pali njafwe. Ngatupitilishaconi kwikala mubwipishi?
3 Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Sena nkamucinshi kwambeti twense afwe twalekatana pamo ne Yesu Klistu kupitila mulubatisho lwakendi, kayi twalabatishiwa pamo mu lufu lwakendi?
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.
Weco pakubatishiwa twalabeti twalafwa ne kubikwa mumanda pamo nendiye, kwambeti mbuli Yesu ncalapunduka kubafu ne ngofu shabulemeneno bwa Bata, nenjafwe twikale ne buyumi bwalinolino.
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.
Na tulaba pamo ne Klistu mu lufu lwakendi, nicimo cimo ne kwambeti nitukabe pamo nendiye pakupunduka kubafu, mbuli ncalapunduka.
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.
Neco tucinsheti buntu bwetu bwakaindi bwalapopwa pa lusanda pamo ne Klistu, kwambeti ngofu sha bwikalo bwa bwipishi shifwe, kwambeti tubule kuba basha ba bwipishi.
7 For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
Pakwinga na muntu lafu, ekwambeti lasunguluwa ku ngofu sha bwipishi.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
Nomba na twalafwa pamo ne Klistu, twashoma kwambeti nitukabe ne buyumi pamo nendiye.
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
Tucinsheti Klistu walapunduka kubafu, kayi nteshi akafwepo. Lufu luliyapo ngofu pali endiye.
10 The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
Kufwa kwakendi kwalikuba kwa kulekana ne bwipishi, kayi walafwa kamo konka. Lino buyumi mbwakute cino cindi ni buyumi bwekatana ne Lesa.
11 So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Nenjamwe mulibone kubeti bafwa pakwamba shangofu sha bwipishi pali njamwe, nsombi bakute buyumi kuli Lesa, pakwikatana pamo ne Klistu.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
Weco kamutasuminisha bwipishi kwambeti bwendeleshe mibili yenu ikute kufwa, kayi mutakomwa ne lunkumbwa lwaipa lwa mibili yenu.
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.
Mutayaba cilama ciliconse ca mubili wenu ku bwipishi, kwambeti cisebense incito itendelana ne bululami. Amwe muliyabe kuli Lesa mbuli bantu balikuba bafwa, nsombi lino bakute buyumi. Kayi muyabe mubili wenu wonse kuli Lesa kwambeti usebense ncito yalulama.
14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
Lino bwipishi nteshi bukabe ne ngofu palinjamwe, pakwinga cilendeleshenga buyumi bwenu nteyo Milawo sobwe nsombi kwina moyo kwa Lesa.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
Nomba nicani lino? Sena tubenga beshikwinsa bwipishi pakwinga cilendeleshenga buyumi bwetu nteyo Milawo, nsombi kwina moyo kwa Lesa? Sobwe!
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?
Lino mucinsheti mwaliyaba kuba basha bamuntu ne kumunyumfwila ekwambeti njamwe basha ba muntuyo ngomulanyumfwilinga, namuba basha kubwipishi nditu nimukafwe. Nsombi na mulaba basha beshikunyumfwila Lesa ni mukabe balulama pamenso a Lesa.
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.
Katumulumbaishani Lesa. Amwe kaindi mwalikuba basha ba bwipishi, nsombi lino mulanyumfunga ne myoyo yenu yonse cakubinga ca lwiyo ndomwalatambula.
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
Mwalasungululwa ku bwipishi, nomba lino mulaba basha babululami.
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.
Ndamwambili mukoshano uyu wa busha kwambeti mutalilwa kunyumfwishisha bintu ibi. Kaindi mwalikuliyabeti mube basha ba bintu byaipa ne nshila shaipa. Neco lino kamuliyabani kwambeti mube basha babululami kwambeti mube baswepa myoyo.
20 For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
Pacindi mpomwalikuba basha ba bwipishi, nkamwalikuyeyako sha bintu Lesa mbyakute kwambeti byabululami.
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.
Nomba mwalacanapo cani pakwinsa bintu bilamupanga nsoni cino cindi? Pakwinga bintu bisa mapwililisho akendi ni lufu.
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)
Nsombi lino mulasungululwa kubwipishi, kayi njamwe beshikusebensela Lesa. Cakucanapo pa bintu ibi nikulibenga kuli Lesa kayi nacimbi cakucanapo ni buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
