Romans 7
1 Know you not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law, ) that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as it liveth?
Au samulumanyile, valokolo lwango (olwakhuva nijova na vanu avalumanyile urulagero), khukhuta urulagero lukhundo ngoja umunu vobado inkafu?
2 For the woman that hath an husband, whilst her husband liveth is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Olwakhuva udala avatoliwe akungiwe nululagelo khwa gosi va mwene, vunkafu mave ogosi va mwene ifiwa iva avikhilwe ukhuva mwavukhe ukhukhuma na nurulagero lwa khutolana.
3 Therefore, whilst her husband liveth, she shall be called an adulteress, if she be with another man: but if her husband be dead, she is delivered from the law of her husband; so that she is not an adulteress, if she be with another man.
Nevetwita, osekhe ugosi va mwene witama, inave nogosi uyunge, ikhelangiwa indigu, inave ogosi va mwene afwele, iva mwuvukhe nululagero, evo siva ndigu angave itama nu gosi uyunge.
4 Therefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law, by the body of Christ; that you may belong to another, who is risen again from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.
Ulwakhuva, valokolo lwango, umwe mwavombiwe ukhuva wafwe nurulagero khu njila iya Klisite. Evilendete uhutama pupaninie nu ninoo, khu mwene uyakhanchukhile ukhukhuma khu vufwe ili tuwesye ukhung'olela u Nguluve isekhe.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.
Ulwakhuva vutukhale pa hali iyambele, uvunogwe uwambivi fikhasi simwile ifikhancho fweto khunjila iya lugalero nukhu vuholela uvufwe isekhe.
6 But now we are loosed from the law of death, wherein we were detained; so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Ulwakhuva tudenduliwe ukhukhuma mu rulagelo. Tuyefwelile iyekhube jekhana. Ili tuvoese ukhuvombekhe uvupya mwa mepo, nufwe uwahatale uwa vusimbe.
7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid. But I do not know sin, but by the law; for I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet.
Tutekhekhi? ululagero ulwa mbivi? La hasha. Inave evoo, sananikhulumanya imbivi, waleusite ukhuva munjila iya lulagero. ulwakhuva sananikhulumanya ukhuno gwa inave ululagero salwalwinchoova, “Olekhe okhonogwa.”
8 But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Olwakhova imbivi nchapeviwe indagero nu khuleta igati indyu ne khela namna iya khunogwa. Ulwakhuva imbivi khesita rulagelo nchifwile.
9 And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived,
Nayune nale mwumi pavulongonchi uwa ndagero, upuyainchilem dagero, imbivi nchapewiwe uwumi, one nafwe.
10 And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.
Ululagero ululwale lwa khukhu khelekhela uwumi lwapendwi khe ukhuva vufwe khulwune.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me, and by it killed me.
Ulwakhuva imbivi nchapeviwe akhavalelo pa lulagero ulwa vudesi. Ukhugendela ululagero, nafwile.
12 Wherefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Leno ululagero luvalanche, ulwakhuva indagero nchivalanchiwe, yalweli nu vusalaama.
13 Was that then which is good, made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me; that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.
Ulwa khuva iyiyale nonu khulwune wale vufwe khulwune? Isite ukhuva eve mwee. Ulwakhuva imbivi, ili yevonekhe ukhuta mbivivi yinogiwa yegendele munonu, yevekhu uwufu igati ndyune. Yale ukhugendela ululagero imbivi nchikhwendelela ukhuva sinchoo.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Ulwa khuva tulumanyile ukhuta imbivi nchikhuma nukhutengulile munumbula ulwakhuva one nelemunu va mbele. Nigonchiwe pasi pa vulongonchi mwambivi.
15 For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will; but the evil which I hate, that I do.
Ulwakhuva ilenivomba, sanikhweliwa liwa hoeli. Ulwakhuva eleninogwa ukhuvomba, sanivomba, na ele elekalalile, lwuelyo elenivomba.
16 If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.
Ulwakhuva nengavombe elesani nogwa, nikhwedekhana nululagero ukhuta ululagero lunonu.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Ulwakhuva sio nene ne nikhogo avombela ago, ulwakhuva nchu mbivi inchinchilekhulwune igati.
18 For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.
Ulwa khuva nelumanyile ukhuta igati ndyune, ila sanikhule vombela.
19 For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do.
Ulwakhuva elinonu eleninogwa soni khulevombela, ila elivivi ele saninogwa lwunikhulevombela.
20 Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Leno kama nivomba elesanino gwa, sinene yune nikhulevomba, ulwakhuva yu yila embivi iyeyitama igati ndyune.
21 I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.
Nelumanyile, mwele indagero igati ndyune iyakhunogwa ukhuvomba amanonu, ulwakhuva uvovivi nuvule igati ndyunee.
22 For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man:
Ulwakhuva nikhurukhovokhela ululagero ulwa Nguluve igati ndyune.
23 But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members.
Ulwakhuva nivona imbinu inchiilivonge muvikhanjo ifya mbele ugwango. Yietova hubancha embombe enya eyahekhara lwango. Yikhumbikha une neledovwava mbivi inchili vikhancho ifyambele gwango.
24 Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Une nele munu va lukuto! veve ni uyaha ikhonyokhora nu mbile ogu ugwa vufwe?
25 The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
Inave ukhu mwale khwa Nguluve nu Yesu Klisite umbaha vetu! Leno. One nemwene nulukhala lwango nikho lovombela ululagelo ulwa Nguluve. Pakhuva, khumbile nikhunchivombela embombo imbivi.
