Romans 8
1 [There is] then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.
Yango wana sik’oyo, etumbu ezali lisusu te mpo na bato oyo bazali kati na Yesu-Klisto.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
Pamba te kati na Yesu-Klisto, Mobeko ya Molimo oyo apesaka bomoi ekangoli ngai na bowumbu ya mobeko ya lisumu mpe ya kufa.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,
Pamba te likambo oyo Mobeko ekokaki kosala te mpo ete bomoto ezangisaki yango nguya, Nzambe asalaki yango na kotinda Mwana na Ye, na nzoto oyo ekokani na nzoto ya bato ya masumu, mpo ete akoma likabo mpo na lisumu. Boye, akatelaki masumu etumbu kati na nzoto ya bato.
4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.
Asalaki bongo mpo ete bosembo oyo Mobeko esengaka ekokisama kati na biso oyo totambolaka te kolanda baposa ya nzoto, kasi kolanda Molimo.
5 For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Bato oyo batambolaka kolanda baposa ya nzoto batiaka makanisi na bango na makambo ya nzoto, kasi ba-oyo batambolaka kolanda Molimo batiaka makanisi na bango na makambo ya Molimo.
6 For the mind of the flesh [is] death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.
Baposa ya nzoto ememaka na kufa, kasi baposa ya Molimo ememaka na bomoi mpe na kimia.
7 Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:
Baposa ya nzoto etombokelaka Nzambe, etosaka Mobeko ya Nzambe te mpe ekotikala kotosa yango ata moke te.
8 and they that are in flesh cannot please God.
Bato oyo batambolaka kolanda baposa ya nzoto bakoki kosepelisa Nzambe te.
9 But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not [the] Spirit of Christ he is not of him:
Nzokande bino, botambolaka te kolanda baposa ya nzoto, kasi kolanda baposa ya Molimo, mpo ete Molimo ya Nzambe azali kati na bino. Mpe soki moto azangi Molimo ya Klisto azali mpe moto na Ye te.
10 but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.
Kasi soki Klisto azali kati na bino, atako nzoto na bino ekokufa mpo na lisumu, kasi Molimo azali bomoi kati na bino, pamba te bokoma bato ya sembo.
11 But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.
Mpe soki Molimo ya Ye oyo asekwisaki Yesu kati na bakufi azali kovanda kati na bino, Ye oyo asekwisaki Klisto kati na bakufi akopesa mpe bomoi epai na banzoto na bino, oyo ebengami na kokufa, na nzela ya Molimo na Ye, oyo avandaka kati na bino.
12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh;
Yango wana bandeko na ngai, tozali na niongo—kasi ezali niongo ya nzoto te mpo ete totambola te kolanda baposa ya nzoto.
13 for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live:
Pamba te soki botamboli kolanda baposa ya nzoto bokokufa; kasi soki bobomi, na nzela ya Molimo, misala mabe oyo bosalaka kati na banzoto na bino, bokozala na bomoi.
14 for as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Pamba te bato oyo batambolisamaka na Molimo ya Nzambe bazali bana na Nzambe.
15 For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Solo, bozwaki te Molimo oyo akomisaka bino bawumbu mpo ete bozala na kobanga, kasi bozwaki Molimo oyo akomisaka bino bana na Nzambe, mpe ezali na nzela ya Molimo yango nde togangaka: « Tata! »
16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.
Molimo Ye moko atatolaka na molimo na biso ete tozali bana na Nzambe.
17 And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with [him], that we may also be glorified with [him].
Mpe soki tozali bana, tozali mpe bakitani ya libula: tozali bakitani ya libula ya Nzambe, mpe bakitani ya libula elongo na Klisto, soki penza tozali komona pasi elongo na Ye mpo ete tozwa mpe nkembo elongo na Ye.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed to us.
Nakanisi ete pasi ya tango oyo ekokani te na motuya ya nkembo oyo ekomonisama mpo na biso.
19 For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:
Pamba te bikelamu nyonso ezali kozela na posa makasi ete bana na Nzambe bamonisama.
20 for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected [the same], in hope
Pamba te bikelamu nyonso ezali na se ya bokonzi ya nguya oyo esukaka na pamba; na mokano na yango moko te, kasi na mokano ya Ye oyo atiaki bikelamu yango na se ya bokonzi yango, na elikya ete
21 that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
bikelamu nyonso mpe ekokangolama na bowumbu ya libebi na yango mpo na kozwa bonsomi ya nkembo oyo bana na Nzambe bakozwa.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now.
Toyebi malamu ete kino sik’oyo, bikelamu nyonso ezali kolela pasi lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.
23 And not only [that], but even we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] the redemption of our body.
Ezali yango moko kaka te nde ezali kolela; kasi biso ba-oyo mpe tozwaki Molimo lokola mbuma ya liboso tozali mpe komona pasi kati na mitema, wana tozali kozela na posa makasi ete Nzambe akomisa biso bana na Ye penza mpe asikola banzoto na biso.
24 For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?
Pamba te tosila kobika, kasi kobika yango ezali nanu elikya. Nzokande soki tozali komona eloko oyo tozali kotiela elikya, wana ezali lisusu elikya te, pamba te nani akoki kotia elikya na eloko oyo azali komona?
25 But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience.
Kasi soki tozali kotia elikya na eloko oyo tozali komona te, solo tokozela yango na molende.
26 And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Ndenge moko mpe Molimo ayaka kosunga biso kati na bolembu na biso; pamba te toyebi te kosambela na lolenge oyo esengeli, kasi Molimo Ye moko abondelaka mpo na biso na maloba oyo moto akoki koloba te.
27 But he who searches the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.
Mpe Nzambe oyo akundolaka mozindo ya mitema ayebi makanisi ya Molimo, pamba te Molimo abondelaka mpo na basantu kolanda mokano ya Nzambe.
28 But we do know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.
Mpe toyebi malamu ete kati na makambo nyonso, Nzambe asalaka mpo na bolamu ya bato oyo balingaka Ye, ba-oyo babengama kolanda mabongisi na Ye.
29 Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.
Pamba te bato oyo Nzambe ayeba wuta kala, abongisa mpe bango wuta kala mpo ete bakokana na Mwana na Ye, mpo ete azala Mwana ya liboso kati na bandeko ebele.
30 But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified.
Mpe ba-oyo abongisa wuta kala, abenga mpe bango; ba-oyo abenga, akomisa bango bato ya sembo; mpe ba-oyo akomisa bato ya sembo, apesa bango mpe nkembo na Ye.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who against us?
Boye, toloba lisusu nini? Soki Nzambe azali mpo na biso, nani akotelemela biso?
32 He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?
Ye oyo aboyaki te kopesa Mwana na Ye se moko, kasi akabaki Ye mpo na biso nyonso, ndenge nini azanga kopesa biso biloko nyonso elongo na Ye na nzela ya ngolu?
33 Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies:
Nani akofunda bato oyo Nzambe apona? Ezali Nzambe nde akomisaka sembo.
34 who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.
Nani akokatela bango etumbu? Moko te! Yesu-Klisto akufaki; kutu, asekwaki, azali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Nzambe, mpe azali kobondela mpo na biso.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
Nani akokabola biso na bolingo ya Klisto? Pasi, somo, minyoko, nzala, kozanga bilamba, likama to mopanga?
36 According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
Kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Ezali mpo na Yo nde balukaka koboma biso mikolo nyonso; bazwaka biso lokola bameme ya koboma. »
37 But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us.
Kasi kati na makambo oyo nyonso, tozali penza balongi na nzela ya Ye oyo alinga biso.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
Pamba te nandimisami ete ezala kufa to bomoi, ba-anjelu to milimo mabe, makambo ya mikolo oyo to makambo oyo ekoya, banguya ya ndenge na ndenge,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
banguya ya likolo to ya se ya mabele to eloko mosusu oyo Nzambe akela, eloko moko te ekoki kokabola biso na bolingo ya Nzambe kati na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
