Romans 6
1 What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
Afei, asɛm bɛn na yɛbɛka? Yɛbɛkɔ so atena bɔne mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a adom bɛdɔɔso ana?
2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
Ɛnte saa koraa! Yɛawu ama bɔne, na adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ so tena bɔne mu?
3 Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Anaa munnim sɛ bere a wɔbɔɔ yɛn nyinaa asu hyɛɛ Kristo Yesu mu no, wɔbɔɔ yɛn asu hyɛɛ ne wu mu?
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.
Bere a wɔbɔɔ yɛn asu no, yewui na wosiee yɛn ne Kristo. Sɛnea Agya Onyankopɔn nam nʼanuonyam so nyan Kristo fii awufo mu baa nkwa mu no, saa ara nso na mprempren yɛte ase wɔ nkwa foforo mu.
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 sɛ yɛne no ayɛ koro wɔ ne wu mu a, wɔbɛfa saa ɔkwan koro no ara so anyan yɛn aba nkwa mu, na yɛne no ayɛ baako.
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.
Yenim sɛ wɔbɔɔ yɛn nipadua dedaw no ne Kristo asennua mu. Wɔyɛɛ eyi sɛnea nipadua dedaw a ɛyɛ bɔne no renyɛ bɔne nkoa bio,
7 For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
efisɛ sɛ onipa wu a, na wɔayi no afi bɔne tumi ase.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
Sɛ yɛne Kristo awu a, yɛwɔ gyidi sɛ yɛne no bɛtena.
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
Efisɛ yenim sɛ wɔanyan Kristo afi owu mu, na ɔrenwu bio. Owu nni ne so tumi bio.
10 The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
Ne wu a owui no yɛɛ owuprɛko maa bɔne, na nʼase a ɔte yi, ɔte ma Onyankopɔn.
11 So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Ɛno nti saa ɔkwan koro ara so na ɛsɛ sɛ mofa mo ho sɛ moawu ama bɔne, na motena ase ma Onyankopɔn wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ bɔne di mo nipadua a ewui no so na amma mo anyɛ bɔne.
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.
Saa ara nso na ɛnsɛ sɛ mugyaw mo honam akwaa biara ma bɔne sɛ nneɛma a wɔde di amumɔyɛsɛm. Na mmom momfa mo ho mma Onyankopɔn sɛ nnipa a wɔanyan mo afi owu mu aba nkwa mu. Momfa mo ho nyinaa mma no, na ɔmfa mo nyɛ trenee nnwuma.
14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ bɔne di mo so, efisɛ monhyɛ mmara ase, na mmom mohyɛ adom ase.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
Dɛn bio? Esiane sɛ yɛnhyɛ mmara ase na yɛhyɛ adom ase no nti, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ so yɛ bɔne ana? Dabi da.
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?
Munnim sɛ, nea mutie no ara na ne nkoa ne mo anaa? Sɛ ɛyɛ bɔne a ɛde kɔ owu mu, anaasɛ osetie a ɛde kɔ trenee.
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.
Nanso yɛda Onyankopɔn ase. Efisɛ bere bi a atwa mu a na moyɛ bɔne nkoa no, mode mo koma nyinaa tiee nkyerɛkyerɛ a wɔde maa mo no.
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
Wɔagye mo afi bɔne mu ama moabɛyɛ nkoa ama trenee.
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.
Esiane mo nipasu nti, mede nkoasom ho mfonitwa reboa mo ama moate eyinom nyinaa ase. Sɛnea mmere bi mode mo ho nyinaa maa sɛ afide ne amumɔyɛsɛm nkoa no, afei de momfa nyɛ nkoa mma trenee nkɔ kronkronyɛ mu.
20 For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
Bere a na moyɛ bɔne nkoa no, na treneeyɛ nni mo so tumi.
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.
Moyɛɛ nneyɛe a afei de mo ani wu wɔ ho no, mfaso bɛn na munyae? Nea ekowiei ne owu.
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)
Nanso mprempren wɔagye mo afi owu mu ama moabɛyɛ Onyankopɔn nkoa. Mfaso a munya wɔ mu no kɔ kronkronyɛ mu, na nea efi mu ba yɛ nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
