Romans 7
1 Or do you not know, brothers, (now I am speaking to those who know the law) that the law has dominion over a man only so long as he lives?
Immriya, bi na toh na (me tere ni tu be wa mba toh turon) a ndi ituron a he ni son siseri ma?
2 For example, a woman who is subject to a husband is obligated by the law while her husband lives. But when her husband has died, she is released from the law of her husband.
Nitu turon imba be gran mba he nimi lo. wa mba lon mba ba he ni sissri, wa a lu ka son ni idiri,
3 Therefore, while her husband lives, if she has been with another man, she should be called an adulteress. But when her husband has died, she is freed from the law of her husband, such that, if she has been with another man, she is not an adulteress.
mba yo de tarawa. U lon mani te quu, “a djur nimi turon ani ta hi gran idi ri ana hi ntara na.
4 And so, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law, through the body of Christ, so that you may be another one who has risen from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
Nakima, imri ya mu, mba du yi quu ni mi turo u mi kpa Almasihu, nakima. Ba du yi gran idiri wa mba ta shibe ni kubbu, de khi gdi imiri ni Irji.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were under the law, operated within our bodies, so as to bear fruit unto death.
Naki khi he ni mi kpa. Ison u kpa a ni chonta yo ni turon u khi gdi imiri ni mi khwu. Nakima ziza mba chuta djur ni mi turonye. Khi khwu nimi ikpi wa mba lota.
6 But now we have been released from the law of death, by which we were being held, so that now we may serve with a renewed spirit, and not in the old way, by the letter.
Zizah mba kpata chuwo ni turon. Khi na khwu nimi kpe a na lota a he nakhi du khi zere ni nkon sisama ni Ibrji. Ana he ni mi ha cice turo'a gana.
7 What should we say next? Is the law sin? Let it not be so! But I do not know sin, except through the law. For example, I would not have known about coveting, unless the law said: “You shall not covet.”
Ziza khi tere de geh? wawu turon tuma a hi illa tere? Ana he naki na, nakima, anita na he ni tu turon na khina toh na ituron a hla mba ime mide na gaire ikpi idi na.
8 But sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.
E, lahtere a dhi ni mi dokoki da ji son kpa ye wa a he ni mi kpamu. bubu wa turon na he na latere a kubuma.
9 Now I lived for some time apart from the law. But when the commandment had arrived, sin was revived,
Ni nton ri me he ni siseri u turon ana he na u imbe a ye. i lahtre a tashbe. u mika khu.
10 and I died. And the commandment, which was unto life, was itself found to be unto death for me.
Imbe wa mla du nji siseire ye. U mi toh a he khubuma.
11 For sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, seduced me, and, through the law, sin killed me.
Naki latere, a samu kon ni tu imbe, a nji son kpa wa a gurume. U ni tu imbe a wuma.
12 And so, the law itself is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
Nakima, ituron a he tsr-tsara, u mlati mba ndendema.
13 Then was what is good made into death for me? Let it not be so! But rather sin, in order that it might be known as sin by what is good, wrought death in me; so that sin, through the commandment, might become sinful beyond measure.
E, u ikpi dedema ni mu a hi khuu naki? a he naki nitu imbe lahtere a he latere.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, having been sold under sin.
U khi toh ituron u ibrji u me mihe ni mi kpa mbana ka me le ti gran ni latere
15 For I do things that I do not understand. For I do not do the good that I want to do. But the evil that I hate is what I do.
Ni kpi wa meti me na mla toh na ikpi wa mina son ti me na ti na u kpi wa mina son na. Me kpa wa me kamu niwu mi tie u.
16 So, when I do what I do not want to do, I am in agreement with the law, that the law is good.
U me ta ti ikpi wa mena sona tina, mi kpa nyeme ni turon de ituron a bi.
17 But I am then acting not according to the law, but according to the sin which lives within me.
Ziza yi ana la he na kina. Ime wa mi ta tikima, u latere wa a he nime.
18 For I know that what is good does not live within me, that is, within my flesh. For the willingness to do good lies close to me, but the carrying out of that good, I cannot reach.
Mi toh deni mi kpamu mina ti ikpi dedema nitu imere u ti kpi dedema a he ni me u mina ya ti u na.
19 For I do not do the good that I want to do. But instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do.
Ni tu ikpi dedema wa mi son ti wu mina ya tiwu na, u meme tie wa mina sona, wa we yi me ti.
20 Now if I do what I am not willing to do, it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin which lives within me.
U mita ti ikpi wa mi nason ti'a na. Ee, ana he imeyi mi si tiu na a hi memeti wa a he ni me'a.
21 And so, I discover the law, by wanting to do good within myself, though evil lies close beside me.
N tu ki u me toh, ituron. Me ta ni son ti kpi dedema, u meme a he hwehwere ni me.
22 For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inner man.
Me giri ni turon u Irji ni mi sonromu.
23 But I perceive another law within my body, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me with the law of sin which is in my body.
U me toh ituron ni kankan nimi kpamu, mba ti ku ni turon sama wa a he nimi imere mu da ni yome ti gra ni tu turon latere wa a he ni kwma kpamu.
24 Unhappy man that I am, who will free me from this body of death?
Mi idi u ya yi! A gha ni kpame chuwo nimi kpa u ahu?
25 The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord! Therefore, I serve the law of God with my own mind; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
U me giri ni Irji ni tu Yesu Almasihu itibu. na ki ime ni tumu mi hu ituron u Irji ni sonron mu ko ni he, ni mi kpa me hu turo u latere.
