< 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 mumanyilepi bhalongobhangu (kwa kujha nilongela ni bhanu ambabho bhajhimanyili sheria), kwamba sheria jhikan'tabhwala munu pa ijha hai?
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.
Kwandabha n'dala jha agegikibhu akhongibhu ni sheria kwa jhola ngwana munu paijha muomi, lakini akajhelayi ngwanamunu afuili, ibetakujha ajhe huru kuhoma sheria jha ndobho.
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.
Henu basi, bho ngwanamunu akona muomi, ni muene itama ni n'gosi jhongi, ibetakukutibhwa mzinzi. Lakini ikajhiajhi ngwanamunu afuili, ajhe huru dhidi jha sheria, efyo ibetalepi kujha mzinzi ikajhiajhi igenda ni n'gosi jhongi.
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.
Henu, bhalongobhangu, muenga kabhele mwajhele mwe bhafu kwa sheria kwa njela jha mb'el'e ghwa Kristu. Jhijhe naha ili mukabhayi kuunganisibhwa ni jhongi, kwa muene ambajhe afunulibhu kuhoma kwa bhafu ili tubhwesiajhi kun'hogolela K'yara matunda.
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.
Kwa ndabha bho tujhele mu hali jha mb'el'e, tamaa sya dhambi syajhumuiki mu fiungo fya tete kwa njela jha sheria ni kujhihogolela mauti matunda.
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.
Lakini henu tubhopolibhu kuhoma mu sheria. Tujhifwelili hali jhela jhatubelili. Ili tete tukabhayi kutumika mu hali jipya jha Roho, ni tete mu hali muandi jha lijhandiku.
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.
Tujobhajhi bhuli henu? Sheria ndo dhambi? La hasha. Hata naha nganijhimanyilepi dhambi, ngajhibeli kujha kwa njela jha sheria. Kwa kujha nganilimanyilepi kunoghela kama sheria ngajhijobhi lepi, “Usinogheli.”
8 But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Lakini dhambi jhakabhili nafasi kwa jhela amri na jhaletili mugati mwa nene khila aina jha kunoghela. Kwa ndabha dhambi bila sheria jhifwa.
9 And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived,
Nami najhele ne muomi apu hoti bila sheria, lakini bho jhihidili amri jhela, dhambi jhakabhili bhuomi, ninene nafwili.
10 And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.
Amri jhela ambajho ngajhiletili bhuzima jhasanuiki kujha mauti kwa nene.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me, and by it killed me.
Kwa ndabha dhambi jhakabhili naafasi kwa jhela amri na jhanikofili. Kup'etela amri jhela, jhanikhomili.
12 Wherefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Efyo sheria ndo takatifu, ni jhela amri ndo takatifu jha haki, ni jhinofu.
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.
Nahu basi jhela jhajhijhele jhinofu jhajhele mauti kwa nene? Jhisijhi naha kamwe. Lakini dhambi, ili jhibhonekayi kujha dhambi hasa kup'et'ela jhela jhinofu, aletili mauti mugati mwa nene. Ejhe jhajhele kwamba kup'et'ela amri jhela, dhambi jhijhelayi jhibhibhi nesu.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Kwa ndabha tumanyili jha kujha sheria asili jhiake ndo muroho, lakini nene ne munu ghwa mumb'el'e. Nihemelisibhu pasi pa utumwa bhwa dhambi.
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.
Ndabha lyanibhomba, nikalijhelebhwa lepi kinofu. Kwa kujha lela lyaniganili kubhomba, nikalibhombalepi ni lela lyanilidadili ndo lyanibhomba.
16 If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.
Lakini kama nilibhombili lela lyanikalilonda lepi, nijhedek'elana ni sheria jha kujha sheria jhinofu.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Lakini henu nene lepi nafsi jha nene jhanibhomba e'lu, bali ndo dhambi jhela jhajhatama mugati mwa nene.
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.
Kwa ndabha nimanyili jha kujha mugati mwa nene, yaani mugati mu mb'el'e bhwa nene, litamalepi lijambo linofu. Kwa kujha tamaa jha lyalijhele linofu lijhele mugati mwa nene, lakini nikalibhomba lepi.
19 For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do.
Kwa ndabha linofu lela lyanilaganili nikalibhombi lepi bali lela liovu lyaniliganilepi ndo lyanibhomba.
20 Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Henu kama nibhomba lela lyaniliganilepi, nene lepi binafsi, jhanibhomba, bali dhambi jhela jhajhitama mugati mwa nene.
21 I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.
Nimanyili, kabhele, jhijhele kanuni mugati mwa nene jha kulonda kubhomba lyalijhele linofu, lakini bhuovu kweli bhujhele mugati mwa nene.
22 For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man:
Kwa ndabha nikajhihobhokela sheria jha K'yara kwa utu bhwa mugati.
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.
Lakini nibhona kanuni jhajhijhele tofauti mu fiungo fya mbele bhwangu. Jhileta ngondo dhidi jha kanuni njipya mu luhala lwangu. Jhikanibh'eka nene kujha mataka kwa kanuni jha dhambi jhajhijhele mu fiungo fya mb'el'e bhwangu.
24 Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Nene ne munu ghwa kwilombosya! Niani jhaibetakuniokola ni mb'el'e obho bhwa mauti?
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.
Lakini nibhombesya kwa K'yara kwa Yesu Kristu Bwana bhitu! Naha basi. Nene ne muene kwa luhala lwa jhoni nikajhitumikila sheria jha K'yara. Bali, kwa mb'el'e nikajhitumikila kanuni jha dhambi.
