Romans 8
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Neco, lino bonse abo bekatana pamo ne Yesu Klistu baliyapo mulandu, ni bayawu.
2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.
Pakwinga mulawo wa Mushimu Uswepa uyo weshikutupa buyumi mukwikatana ne Yesu Klistu ulansungululu kufuma ku mulawo wa bwipishi ne lufu.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,
Lesa walensa ibyo Milawo ya Mose njoyalabula kucikonsha kwinsa, pakwinga bwikalo bwabuntu bwalikuba bwapendamina ku byaipa bwalabatyompwesha. Neco, walombolosha bwipishi bwa buntu mpwalatuma Mwanendi uyo walesa kakute mubili eti wetu afwe otwalepisha, kwambeti ne mubili wopelowo akakome bwipishi.
4 so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Lesa walensa bintu ibi, kwambeti bululami ubo Milawo ya Mose ncoyalikuyanda cinshike mwakupwililila muli njafwe. Lino afwe nkatulakonkelenga cilayandanga bwikalo bwaipa bwabuntu bwakusemwa nabo, Nsombi cilayandanga Mushimu Uswepa.
5 Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
Bantu balanyumfwilinga bintu bilayadanga bwikalo bwaipa bwa buntu bwa kusemwa nabo, bakute kubika myoyo pa bintu bilayandanga bwikalo bwa buntu bwakusemwa nabo. Nabo balanyunfwilinga Mushimu Uswepa bakute kubika myoyo pa bintu bilayandaga Mushimu Uswepa.
6 The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,
Nomba kubika moyo pa bintu bya pa bwikalo bwaipa bwa buntu bwakusemwa nabo kukute kuleta lufu, nsombi kubika moyo pa bintu bya ku Mushimu Uswepa kukute kutwala ku buyumi ne lumuno.
7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
Bantu bakute kubika myoyo pa bwikalo bwaipa bwabuntu bwa kusemwa nabo, bakute kupelana ne Lesa. Bantu balico nkabakute kukonkela Milawo ya Lesa, kayi kwamba cakubinga, nkabela kwikonkela.
8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.
Nomba bantu babika myoyo pa bwikalo bwaipa bwa buntu bwakusemwa nabo bulico nkabela kukondwelesha Lesa.
9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
Neco amwe nkamulenshinga bintu bilayandanga bwikalo bwaipa bwa buntu bwakusemwa nabo, nsombi mulenshinga bilayandanga Mushimu Uswepa, na cakubinga Mushimu wa Lesa ulekalanga mulinjamwe. Na muntu liyawa Mushimu wa Yesu Klistu, ekwambeti nteyo wakendi Klistu.
10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Lino na Yesu Klistu wikala mulinjamwe, nambi mubili wenu ukafwe pacebo ca bwipishi, nsombi mushimu wenu nukabe ne buyumi, pakwinga Lesa lamubono eti mwalulama.
11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
Nomba lino Mushimu wa Lesa, uyo walapundusha Yesu kubafu ekala mulinjamwe, popelapo uyo walapundusha Klistu nakape buyumi mibili yenu ikute kufwa kupitila mu mushimu wakendi uli mulinjamwe.
12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
Neco mobanse, tukute nkongole, nsombi nkongole yakendi nteyo yakwambeti twikalenga mubuyumi bwakwinsa bintu bilayandanga bwikalo bwaipa bwa buntu bwakusemwa nabo sobwe.
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Pakwinga na mulakonkelenga bwikalo bwaipa bwa buntu bwakusemwa nabo, nimukafwe. Nsombi na kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa mushina lunkumbwa lwa bwikalo bwaipa bwa buntu bwakusemwa nabo, nimukabe ne buyumi.
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Abo bonse bakute kutanguninwa ne Mushimu wa Lesa ebana ba Lesa.
15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
Pakwinga Mushimu Lesa ngwalamupa nkakute kumusandula basha, kwambeti mubenga ne buyowa sobwe. Nsombi Mushimuwo ukute kumusandula kuba bana ba Lesa, kayi mu ngofu shakendi, pakupaila tukute kwambeti, “Abba! Ta!”
16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Mushimu Uswepa eukute kwinshila bukamboni ne mushimu wetu kwambeti tobana ba Lesa.
17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.
Lino na njafwe bana ba Lesa, nitukatambule bileleko mbyabambila bantu bakendi, kayi afwe pamo ne Klistu nitukatambule ibyo Lesa mbyalamubambila. Pakwinga tulanyumfunga byeshikubaba pamo ne Klistu, nenjafwe nitukatambule bulemeneno pamo nendiye.
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.
Ame ndabononga kwambeti mapensho ayo ngotulakumananga nawo cindi cino nkaelana ne bulemeneno bwa Lesa mbwalabamba mbweshakatuboneshe kuntangu.
19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.
Byonse mbyalalenga bilapembelelenga mwakuyandishisha kwambeti Lesa aleshe bana bendi patuba.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope
Pakwinga Lesa walasandula bilengwa kuba byabula ncito, kutambeti byalayanda kwambeti kubeco sobwe, nsombi kwalikuba kuyanda kwa Lesa. Nomba nabyoyo bilapembelelenga ici,
21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
cakwambeti busuba nabumbi nabyoyo bilengwa bikasunguluwe ku busha bwa kubola ne kutambula bulemeneno ne kusunguluka kwa bana ba Lesa.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.
Tucinsheti kushikila lino bilengwa byonse bilatongelenga, cebo ca bishikubaba eti mutukashi pacindi cakendi ca kutumbuka.
23 Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
Nomba ntebyo bilengwa ibi byonka bilatongelenga sobwe. Nsombi nenjafwe otukute Mushimu Uswepa uwo euli cipo cakutanguna Lesa ncalatupa, tulatongelenga mu myoyo, pakupembelela kwambeti Lesa atutambuleti bana bakendi, ne kupulusha mibili yetu.
24 For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?
Cakubinga Lesa walatupulusha cebo cakupembelela kuli ico, nomba na tulapembelelenga bintu mbyotulabononga, uko nteko kupembelela sobwe.
25 But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.
Nomba na tulapembelelenga bintu mbyotwalabula kubonapo ne menso, tukute kupembelela camoyonteka.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.
Nicimocimo, nawo Mushimu Uswepa ukute kutunyamfwilisha, afwe otwatyompwa, tutacinshi nemotwelela kupailila. Weco Mushimu Uswepa eukute kutupaililako mukutongela kwetu kutambiki.
27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
Nomba Lesa uyo ukute kulanga bili mukati mwa myoyo ya bantu, ukute kwinshiba Mushimu Uswepa ncolayeyenga, pakwinga Mushimu ukute kubasengelako bantu ba Lesa kwelana ne kuyanda kwa Lesa.
28 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Kayi tucinsheti pabintu byonse bikute kwinshika Lesa ukute kwendesha bintu byonse munshila yakwambeti bintu byende cena kuli abo bamusuni, mbwalakuwa kwelana ne kuyanda kwakendi.
29 For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
Pakwinga bantu abo Lesa mbwalasalila limo, nendi walabapatulila limo kwambeti babe mbuli Mwanendi, kwambeti nendi abe mwanamukulene mumukowa.
30 And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
Lesa nkalabapatulowa, nsombi kayi walabakuwa. Kayi nkalabakuwowa, nsombi embwalabalulamika. Neco walabayabilako bulemeneno bwakendi.
31 What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Lino ngatwamba cani pali byonse ibi? Na Lesa uli kulubasu lwetu, niyani welela kutulwana?
32 He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?
Cakubinga nkela kuba Lesa, uyo walabula kumukanisha Mwanendi, Lesa walabenga Mwanendi cebo canjafwe. Sena ngawalilwa kutupa bintu byonse kwabulyo?
33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Nomba niyani wela kubapa mulandu bantu Lesa mbwalasala? Abo mbwakute kuboneti baliya mulandu nibayuwa!
34 Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
Weco lino paliyawa muntu wela kubombolosha kwambeti bakute mulandu. Sobwe nte Yesu Klistu uyo walafwa, nambi twamboweti uyo walapunduka kubafu, uyo uli kucikasa cakululyo kwa Lesa, endiye ukute kutusengelako pamenso a Lesa.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Nomba lino nibani bela kutulekanisha ku lusuno lwa Klistu? Sena nimapensho, nambi buyumuyumu, nambi kupenshewa, nambi nsala, nambi bukandu, nambi byeshikuyosha, nambi lufu?
36 As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
Pakwinga Mabala akute kwambeti, “Pacebo ca njamwe busuba buli bonse bakute kuyanda kutushina. Pamenso pabo tulyeti mbelele shilenga akushinwa.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Nsombi byonsebi twabikoma kupwilila pacebo ca uyo walatusuna.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
Neco ndicinshi mwakutatonshanya kwambeti paliya cintu cela kutulekanisha ku lusuno lwakendi. Lufu nambi buyumi, nambi bangelo, nambi bendeleshi, nambi bintu bilipo lino, nambi ibyo byeshi bikaboneke kuntangu, nambi byangofu bilibyonse,
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
nambi byakwilu ne byapanshi, nambi kantu nakambi kalikonse kalalengwa, nteshi kakatulekanishe ku lusuno lwa Lesa, ulo ndotukute mukwikatana pamo ne Yesu Klistu Mwami wetu.
