Romans 7
1 Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
Laa boani yi n kpiiba, n maadi leni ya niba n bani li balimaama fuuli. Li balimaama die o nilo ŋali wan ye ya yogunu kuli.
2 For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
Li tie nani li balimaama n loli o pua leni o calo ŋali on calo miali banlu kuli maama. Ama o joa ya kpe, o pua yeni faabi leni ya balimaama n luo o yeni.
3 So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
Lanwani o ya kuni joatoa ke o calo da ye, bi baa yi o li poconconli. Ama o calo ya kpe ya kpe, o pua yeni faabi leni libalimaama yeni, o ya kuni joatoa waa tie poconconli.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
N kpiiba, li tie yenma yi moko yaa po. Kelima Kilisiti kuuma o gbannandi nni ya po, yi kpe yaala n tie li balimaama po. Moala nitoa n ji die yi, lani n tie Kilisiti u TIENU n den fiini yua bi tinkpiba siiga, ke tin ya tiendi yaala n pia mayuli u TIENU po.
5 For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.
Li nisaali yantiali n den die ti ya yogunu, li balimaama den fiini li bonbuakabiala ti gbannanbuoli kuli nni, ki teni ke ti luoni ya bonluonkaala n tie mi kuuma po.
6 But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Ama moala, ti faabi leni li balimaama kelima ti kpoe ki paadi leni yaala n den kpa luo ti nani a sugida yeni. Lani yaa po u TIENU fuoma gobidi ti ke tin ya tuuni u TIENU po leni yantiapanli ke laa go taa leni tin den moandi ki baa ŋoadi yaala n diani li balimaama nni maama.
7 What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
Lanwani ti ba yedi lede? li balimaama tie tuonbiadi bii? yeni ka, n kan den bandi ti tuonbiadi ntie yaal kali li balimaama n den waani nni. n kan den faami ke li nunponbiadili tie tagili li yaa tie ke li balimaama den yedi: ŋan da pia li nunponbiadili.
8 But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
ti tuonbiadi den ba u sanu kelima li balimaama po ki fiini li nunponli buoli kuli n pali nni, kelima li balimaam ya ki ye, ti tuonbiadi kpe.
9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
Mini ya po, min ke den pia li balimaama ya yogunu n den ye ki fo ama li balimaama n den cua ti tuonbiadi den faadi, ke n mo kpe.
10 So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
yeni li balimaama yaama n den baa cuani nli miali n den cuani n po mi kuuma.
11 For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
Ti tuonbiadi den ba u sanu kelima li balimaama po ki boandinni ki kpa nni.
12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
baa yeni li balimaama gagidi ki ŋani, mi mabilikaama moko gagidi ki ŋani ki tiegi ki go pia mayuli.
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
Naani yaali n pia mayuli yeni n teni ke kpe bii? kalam. ti tuonbiadi den tieni la, ki ta li balimaama yaami n pia mayuli ki kpa nni. lanwani kelima li balimaama ya po li doagidi ti tuonbiadi n bia ke li pendi maama.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
ti bani ke li balimaama ǹani u TIENU kani. Ama mini wani ytie nisaalo ki ŋua n gbannandi nbua yaala, ki tie nani bi kuadi nni ti tuobiadi po yeni.
15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.
Mii bani kuli min tiendi yaala, kelima mii tiendi min bua ki ya tiendi yaala, ama n tiendi min nani yaala.
16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
N yaa tiendi min ki bua ki yaa tiendi yaala yeni n tuo ke li balimaama ŋani.
17 In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
Lanwani laa go tie mini n ba ka tiendi yeni, Ama li tie ti tuonbiadi yaadi n ye n ni nni n tiendi la.
18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
n bani ke yaala n ŋani ki ye n nii nni ba waamu, lani n tie min tie nisaalo maama po. N bua ki tieni yaala n ŋani, ama mii pia li fidu.
19 For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.
Mii tiendi min bua ki ya tiendi ya bonŋanla, ama n tiendi mi biadima min ki bua ki ya tiendi yaama.
20 And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
N yaa tiendi min ki bua ki tieni yaala, laa go tie mini ka tiendi la, li tie ti tuobiadi yaadi n ye n nii nni n tiendi la.
21 So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
N la ke ya bali n tie na miabi nni, n ya bua ki tieni yaali n ŋani. Ti tuonbiadi tabini nni.
22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
N pali tugu nni u TIENU balimaama mani n po.
23 But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.
Ama n go laa batoali n gbannanbuoli nni, yaali n moa lenin yantiali ya baliki teni ke n tua ti tuonbiadi bali yaali n tuuni n gbannanbuoli nni ya kadibiga.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
Fala ye leni nni boncianla. ŋmee ba faabi nni leni n gbannandi yaadi n caani nni mi kuuma nni?
25 Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
n tuondi u TIENU, kelima ti Diedo JESU Kilisiti po. Lanwani mini n baa n yantiali nni, n tuo ki ŋua u TIENU balimaama, ama n gbannandi nni n ŋua ti tuonbiadi ya bali.
