Romans 6
1 What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?
Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, tũkiuge atĩa? Nĩ tũtũũre o twĩhagia nĩgeetha wega wa Ngai ũingĩhage?
2 In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?
Hĩ! Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Ithuĩ-rĩ, nĩtwakuire ũhoro-inĩ wa wĩhia; twakĩhota atĩa gũcooka gũtũũra thĩinĩ waguo?
3 Or are you without the knowledge that all we who had baptism into Christ Jesus, had baptism into his death?
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ ithuĩ othe arĩa twabatithirio thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ twabatithirio thĩinĩ wa gĩkuũ gĩake?
4 We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, twabatithio nĩgũthikwo twathikirwo hamwe nake gĩkuũ-inĩ gĩake, nĩgeetha o ta ũrĩa Kristũ aariũkirio kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ nĩ hinya wa riiri wa Ithe, o na ithuĩ tũtũũre na mũtũũrĩre mwerũ.
5 For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;
Angĩkorwo nĩtũnyiitithanĩtio nake ũguo thĩinĩ wa gĩkuũ gĩake-rĩ, hatirĩ nganja nĩtũkanyiitithanio nake thĩinĩ wa kũriũka gwake.
6 Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩtũũĩ atĩ mũndũ witũ wa tene nĩambirwo hamwe nake nĩgeetha mwĩrĩ ũyũ wa mehia weherio, nĩguo tũtikanacooke gũtuĩka ngombo cia mehia,
7 Because he who is dead is free from sin.
tondũ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrĩkĩtie gũkua nĩatigithanĩtio na mehia.
8 But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;
Na rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo nĩtwakuire hamwe na Kristũ-rĩ, nĩtwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ nĩtũgatũũra muoyo hamwe nake.
9 Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩtũũĩ atĩ tondũ Kristũ nĩariũkirio akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaacooka gũkua; gĩkuũ gĩtirĩ na hinya wa kũmwatha rĩngĩ.
10 For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.
Gĩkuũ kĩrĩa aakuire, aakuĩrĩire ũhoro wa mehia o riita rĩmwe rĩa kũigana; no muoyo ũrĩa atũũraga-rĩ, atũũraga nĩ ũndũ wa riiri wa Ngai.
11 Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.
O na inyuĩ, o ũndũ ũmwe mwĩonagei atĩ nĩmũkuĩte ũhoro-inĩ wa mehia, na atĩ mũtũũraga muoyo mũrĩ ngwatanĩro na Ngai thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
12 For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;
Tondũ ũcio, mũtikanareke mehia mathamakage thĩinĩ wa mĩĩrĩ yanyu ĩyo ĩkuaga, atĩ nĩguo mwathĩkagĩre merirĩria mooru mayo.
13 And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.
Ningĩ mũtikananeane ciĩga cia mĩĩrĩ yanyu mehia-inĩ, atĩ nĩguo ituĩke ta indo cia kũhũthĩrwo cia kwagana nacio, no nĩ kaba mwĩheanage kũrĩ Ngai, mũhaana ta andũ marutĩtwo gĩkuũ-inĩ makarehwo muoyo-inĩ na mũneanage ciĩga icio cia mĩĩrĩ yanyu kũrĩ we nĩguo ituĩke ta indo cia kũhũthĩrwo na gwĩka maũndũ ma ũthingu.
14 For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.
Mũtigatuĩke a gwathagwo nĩ mehia, tondũ inyuĩ mũtirĩ agũthamakagĩrwo nĩ watho, no mũrĩ agũthamakagĩrwo nĩ wega wa Ngai.
15 What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.
Tũkiuge atĩa? Kuona atĩ tũtirĩ rungu rwa watho no tũrĩ rungu rwa wega wa Ngai-rĩ, nĩtũtũũre twĩhagia? Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!
16 Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ rĩrĩa mweheana kũrĩ mũndũ nĩguo mũtuĩke ngombo mũmwathĩkagĩre-rĩ, inyuĩ mũkĩrĩ o ngombo cia ũcio mwathĩkagĩra: mũrĩ ngombo cia mehia marĩa merekagĩria mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ, kana mũrĩ ngombo cia wathĩki ũrĩa ũrehaga ũthingu?
17 But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;
No Ngai arocookerio ngaatho, tondũ o na gũtuĩka inyuĩ mwarĩ ngombo cia mehia-rĩ, rĩu nĩmwathĩkĩire na ngoro yothe ũrutani ũrĩa mwehokeirwo.
18 And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.
Inyuĩ nĩmũrĩkĩtie kuohorwo mũkoima mehia-inĩ, mũgacooka gũtuĩka ngombo cia ũthingu.
19 I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.
Ndĩraaria ũhoro ũyũ ngĩũgerekanagia na maũndũ ma andũ tondũ inyuĩ nĩmwagĩte hinya mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wanyu wa ndũire. O ta ũrĩa mwatũire mũneanaga ciĩga cianyu cia mĩĩrĩ ituĩke ngombo kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa matarĩ ma ũtheru o na ma waganu ũrĩa ũtũire wongererekaga-rĩ, rĩu kĩneanei ciĩga cianyu ituĩke ngombo cia ũthingu nĩguo mũgaatuĩka andũ atheru.
20 When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.
Rĩrĩa mwarĩ ngombo cia mehia-rĩ, mũtiathagwo nĩ ũthingu.
21 What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo muonaga uumithio ũrĩkũ kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa matũmaga rĩu mũconoke? Maũndũ macio marigĩrĩrio-inĩ marehaga gĩkuũ!
22 But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
No rĩu tondũ nĩmwohoretwo mũkoima mehia-inĩ na mũgatuĩka ngombo cia Ngai-rĩ, uumithio ũrĩa muonaga ũmwerekagĩria ũtheru-inĩ, na maciaro maguo nĩ muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
