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?
Wenno saanyo kadi nga ammo, kakabsat, (ta agsasaoak kadagiti tattao a makaammo iti linteg), a ti linteg ti mangtengtengngel iti maysa a tao kabayatan nga agbibiag isuna?
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.
Ta inggalut ti linteg ti naasawaanen a babai iti asawana a lalaki kabayatan a sibibiag daytoy, ngem no matay ti asawana a lalaki, mawayawayaan isuna manipud iti linteg ti panagasawa.
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.
Ngarud, kabayatan a sibibiag pay ti asawana a lalaki, no makitipon isuna iti sabali pay a lalaki, maawagan isuna a mannakikamalala a babai. Ngem no matay ti asawana a lalaki, nawaya isunan manipud iti linteg, isu a saan isuna a mannakikamalala no makitipon isuna iti sabali a lalaki.
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.
Ngarud kakabsatko, nagbalinkayo met a natay iti linteg babaen iti bagi ni Cristo. Daytoy ket tapno mabalinkayo a makitipon iti sabali, dayta ket, kenkuana a napagungar manipud iti patay tapno makapagbungatayo para iti Dios.
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.
Ta idi addatayo iti lasag, nariing ti managbasol a kalikagum kadagiti kamengtayo babaen iti linteg tapno makapagbunga iti ipapatay.
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.
Ngem ita, nawayawayaantayon manipud iti linteg. Nataytayo iti dayta a nakatengngelantayo. Daytoy ket tapno makapagserbitayo iti kinabaro ti Espiritu, ken saan nga iti kinadaan iti surat.
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.”
Ania ngarud ti ibagatayo? Ti linteg kadi ket basol? Saan koma. Nupay kasta, saanko koma a naammoan ti basol, no saan a babaen iti linteg. Ta saanko koma a naammoan ti panagagum no saan nga imbaga ti linteg a, “Saanka nga agag-agum.”
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.
Ngem innala ti basol ti gundaway babaen iti bilin ken pinaruarna amin a derrep nga adda kaniak. Ta iti kinaawan ti linteg, natay ti basol.
9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
Iti naminsan, nagbiagak nga awan ti linteg, ngem idi immay ti bilin, nagbiag manen ti basol, ket natayak.
10 So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
Nagbalin a patay kaniak ti bilin a mangiyumay koma iti biag.
11 For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
Ta innala ti basol ti gundaway babaen iti bilin ket inallilawnak. Babaen iti bilin, pinataynak.
12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
Isu a nasantoan ti linteg, ken nasantoan, nalinteg ken nasayaat iti bilin.
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.
Ngarud, nagbalin kadi a patay kaniak ti nasayaat? Saan koma. Ngem ti basol, tapno maipakita a basol daytoy babaen iti nasayaat, inyegna kaniak ti ipapatay. Daytoy ket tapno babaen iti bilin, maipakita a ti basol ket basol a saan a marukod.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
Ta ammotayo a naespirituan ti linteg, ngem addaak iti lasag. Nailakoak iti pannakatagabu iti basol.
15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.
Ta ti ar-aramidek, pudno a saanko a maawatan. Ta ti kayatko nga aramiden, saanko a maaramid, ken ti kagurgurak, isu ti ar-aramidek.
16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
Ngem no aramidek ti diak kayat, umanamongak iti linteg a nasayaat ti linteg.
17 In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
Ngem ita, saanen a siak ti mangar-aramid, ngem ti basol nga agnanaed kaniak.
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.
Ta ammok a saan nga agnaed kaniak ti kabaelan nga agaramid iti nasayaat a banbanag, dayta ket iti lasagko. Ta adda kaniak ti tarigagay para iti pagimbagan, ngem diak maaramid.
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.
Ta saanko nga ar-aramiden ti nasayaat a kayatko, ngem ti dakes a diak kayat, dayta ti ar-aramidek.
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.
Ita, no aramidek ti diak koma kayat nga aramiden, ket saanen a siak ti mangar-aramid, ngem ketdi, ti basol nga agnanaed kaniak.
21 So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
Natakuatak ngarud a ti pagannurotan nga adda kaniak ket kayatko nga aramiden ti nasayaat, ngem iti kinapudnona ket dakes ti adda kaniak.
22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
Ta agrag-oak iti linteg ti Dios babaen iti akin-uneg a kinatao.
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.
Ngem makitak ti naidumduma a pagannurotan kadagiti paset ti bagik. Busbusorenna dayta a baro a pagannurotan iti nakemko. Pagbalbalinennak a balud babaen iti pagannurotan ti basol nga adda kadagiti paset ti bagik.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
Nakakaasiak a lalaki! Siasino ti mangispal kaniak manipud iti daytoy a bagi ti patay?
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.
Ngem agyamanak iti Dios babaen kenni Jesu-Cristo nga Apotayo! Ngarud, agserserbiak iti linteg ti Dios iti nakemko. Nupay kasta, babaen iti lasag, pagserserbiak ti pagannurotan ti basol.
