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?
Au mumanyilepi bhalongobhangu (kwa kujha nilongela ni bhanu ambabho bhajhimanyili sheria), kwamba sheria jhikan'tabhwala munu pa ijha hai?
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.
Kwandabha n'dala jha agegikibhu akhongibhu ni sheria kwa jhola ngwana munu paijha muomi, lakini akajhelayi ngwanamunu afuili, ibetakujha ajhe huru kuhoma sheria jha ndobho.
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.
Henu basi, bho ngwanamunu akona muomi, ni muene itama ni n'gosi jhongi, ibetakukutibhwa mzinzi. Lakini ikajhiajhi ngwanamunu afuili, ajhe huru dhidi jha sheria, efyo ibetalepi kujha mzinzi ikajhiajhi igenda ni n'gosi jhongi.
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.
Henu, bhalongobhangu, muenga kabhele mwajhele mwe bhafu kwa sheria kwa njela jha mb'el'e ghwa Kristu. Jhijhe naha ili mukabhayi kuunganisibhwa ni jhongi, kwa muene ambajhe afunulibhu kuhoma kwa bhafu ili tubhwesiajhi kun'hogolela K'yara matunda.
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.
Kwa ndabha bho tujhele mu hali jha mb'el'e, tamaa sya dhambi syajhumuiki mu fiungo fya tete kwa njela jha sheria ni kujhihogolela mauti matunda.
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.
Lakini henu tubhopolibhu kuhoma mu sheria. Tujhifwelili hali jhela jhatubelili. Ili tete tukabhayi kutumika mu hali jipya jha Roho, ni tete mu hali muandi jha lijhandiku.
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.”
Tujobhajhi bhuli henu? Sheria ndo dhambi? La hasha. Hata naha nganijhimanyilepi dhambi, ngajhibeli kujha kwa njela jha sheria. Kwa kujha nganilimanyilepi kunoghela kama sheria ngajhijobhi lepi, “Usinogheli.”
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.
Lakini dhambi jhakabhili nafasi kwa jhela amri na jhaletili mugati mwa nene khila aina jha kunoghela. Kwa ndabha dhambi bila sheria jhifwa.
9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
Nami najhele ne muomi apu hoti bila sheria, lakini bho jhihidili amri jhela, dhambi jhakabhili bhuomi, ninene nafwili.
10 So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
Amri jhela ambajho ngajhiletili bhuzima jhasanuiki kujha mauti kwa nene.
11 For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
Kwa ndabha dhambi jhakabhili naafasi kwa jhela amri na jhanikofili. Kup'etela amri jhela, jhanikhomili.
12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
Efyo sheria ndo takatifu, ni jhela amri ndo takatifu jha haki, ni jhinofu.
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.
Nahu basi jhela jhajhijhele jhinofu jhajhele mauti kwa nene? Jhisijhi naha kamwe. Lakini dhambi, ili jhibhonekayi kujha dhambi hasa kup'et'ela jhela jhinofu, aletili mauti mugati mwa nene. Ejhe jhajhele kwamba kup'et'ela amri jhela, dhambi jhijhelayi jhibhibhi nesu.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
Kwa ndabha tumanyili jha kujha sheria asili jhiake ndo muroho, lakini nene ne munu ghwa mumb'el'e. Nihemelisibhu pasi pa utumwa bhwa dhambi.
15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.
Ndabha lyanibhomba, nikalijhelebhwa lepi kinofu. Kwa kujha lela lyaniganili kubhomba, nikalibhombalepi ni lela lyanilidadili ndo lyanibhomba.
16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
Lakini kama nilibhombili lela lyanikalilonda lepi, nijhedek'elana ni sheria jha kujha sheria jhinofu.
17 In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
Lakini henu nene lepi nafsi jha nene jhanibhomba e'lu, bali ndo dhambi jhela jhajhatama mugati mwa nene.
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.
Kwa ndabha nimanyili jha kujha mugati mwa nene, yaani mugati mu mb'el'e bhwa nene, litamalepi lijambo linofu. Kwa kujha tamaa jha lyalijhele linofu lijhele mugati mwa nene, lakini nikalibhomba lepi.
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.
Kwa ndabha linofu lela lyanilaganili nikalibhombi lepi bali lela liovu lyaniliganilepi ndo lyanibhomba.
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.
Henu kama nibhomba lela lyaniliganilepi, nene lepi binafsi, jhanibhomba, bali dhambi jhela jhajhitama mugati mwa nene.
21 So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
Nimanyili, kabhele, jhijhele kanuni mugati mwa nene jha kulonda kubhomba lyalijhele linofu, lakini bhuovu kweli bhujhele mugati mwa nene.
22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
Kwa ndabha nikajhihobhokela sheria jha K'yara kwa utu bhwa mugati.
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.
Lakini nibhona kanuni jhajhijhele tofauti mu fiungo fya mbele bhwangu. Jhileta ngondo dhidi jha kanuni njipya mu luhala lwangu. Jhikanibh'eka nene kujha mataka kwa kanuni jha dhambi jhajhijhele mu fiungo fya mb'el'e bhwangu.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
Nene ne munu ghwa kwilombosya! Niani jhaibetakuniokola ni mb'el'e obho bhwa mauti?
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.
Lakini nibhombesya kwa K'yara kwa Yesu Kristu Bwana bhitu! Naha basi. Nene ne muene kwa luhala lwa jhoni nikajhitumikila sheria jha K'yara. Bali, kwa mb'el'e nikajhitumikila kanuni jha dhambi.
