Romans 6
1 What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin that grace may abound?
Afei, asɛm bɛn na yɛbɛka? Yɛbɛkɔ so atena bɔne mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a adom bɛdɔɔso ana?
2 Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?
Ɛnte saa koraa! Yɛawu ama bɔne, na adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ so tena bɔne mu?
3 Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?
Anaa munnim sɛ bere a wɔbɔɔ yɛn nyinaa asu hyɛɛ Kristo Yesu mu no, wɔbɔɔ yɛn asu hyɛɛ ne wu mu?
4 We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.
Bere a wɔbɔɔ yɛn asu no, yewui na wosiee yɛn ne Kristo. Sɛnea Agya Onyankopɔn nam nʼanuonyam so nyan Kristo fii awufo mu baa nkwa mu no, saa ara nso na mprempren yɛte ase wɔ nkwa foforo mu.
5 For if we are become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of [his] resurrection;
Na sɛ yɛne no ayɛ koro wɔ ne wu mu a, wɔbɛfa saa ɔkwan koro no ara so anyan yɛn aba nkwa mu, na yɛne no ayɛ baako.
6 knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.
Yenim sɛ wɔbɔɔ yɛn nipadua dedaw no ne Kristo asennua mu. Wɔyɛɛ eyi sɛnea nipadua dedaw a ɛyɛ bɔne no renyɛ bɔne nkoa bio,
7 For he that has died is justified from sin.
efisɛ sɛ onipa wu a, na wɔayi no afi bɔne tumi ase.
8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him,
Sɛ yɛne Kristo awu a, yɛwɔ gyidi sɛ yɛne no bɛtena.
9 knowing that Christ having been raised up from among [the] dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.
Efisɛ yenim sɛ wɔanyan Kristo afi owu mu, na ɔrenwu bio. Owu nni ne so tumi bio.
10 For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.
Ne wu a owui no yɛɛ owuprɛko maa bɔne, na nʼase a ɔte yi, ɔte ma Onyankopɔn.
11 So also ye, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Ɛno nti saa ɔkwan koro ara so na ɛsɛ sɛ mofa mo ho sɛ moawu ama bɔne, na motena ase ma Onyankopɔn wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ bɔne di mo nipadua a ewui no so na amma mo anyɛ bɔne.
13 Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among [the] dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.
Saa ara nso na ɛnsɛ sɛ mugyaw mo honam akwaa biara ma bɔne sɛ nneɛma a wɔde di amumɔyɛsɛm. Na mmom momfa mo ho mma Onyankopɔn sɛ nnipa a wɔanyan mo afi owu mu aba nkwa mu. Momfa mo ho nyinaa mma no, na ɔmfa mo nyɛ trenee nnwuma.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under law but under grace.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ bɔne di mo so, efisɛ monhyɛ mmara ase, na mmom mohyɛ adom ase.
15 What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.
Dɛn bio? Esiane sɛ yɛnhyɛ mmara ase na yɛhyɛ adom ase no nti, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ so yɛ bɔne ana? Dabi da.
16 Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Munnim sɛ, nea mutie no ara na ne nkoa ne mo anaa? Sɛ ɛyɛ bɔne a ɛde kɔ owu mu, anaasɛ osetie a ɛde kɔ trenee.
17 But thanks [be] to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.
Nanso yɛda Onyankopɔn ase. Efisɛ bere bi a atwa mu a na moyɛ bɔne nkoa no, mode mo koma nyinaa tiee nkyerɛkyerɛ a wɔde maa mo no.
18 Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to righteousness.
Wɔagye mo afi bɔne mu ama moabɛyɛ nkoa ama trenee.
19 I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.
Esiane mo nipasu nti, mede nkoasom ho mfonitwa reboa mo ama moate eyinom nyinaa ase. Sɛnea mmere bi mode mo ho nyinaa maa sɛ afide ne amumɔyɛsɛm nkoa no, afei de momfa nyɛ nkoa mma trenee nkɔ kronkronyɛ mu.
20 For when ye were bondmen of sin ye were free from righteousness.
Bere a na moyɛ bɔne nkoa no, na treneeyɛ nni mo so tumi.
21 What fruit therefore had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of them [is] death.
Moyɛɛ nneyɛe a afei de mo ani wu wɔ ho no, mfaso bɛn na munyae? Nea ekowiei ne owu.
22 But now, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Nanso mprempren wɔagye mo afi owu mu ama moabɛyɛ Onyankopɔn nkoa. Mfaso a munya wɔ mu no kɔ kronkronyɛ mu, na nea efi mu ba yɛ nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
