Romans 7
1 Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know law), that the law has authority over someone only as long as he lives?
Ashaapwanga, ngunabheleketa na mmanganyanji nkujimanyanga shalia ja a Musha, nkakumumanyanga kuti shalia jinakuntagwala mundu ali jwankoto?
2 For example, a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if the man should die, she is released from the law about the husband.
Tujile malinga bhakongwe bhalombilwe, bhanatabhwa na shalia mobha gowe ga gumi gwa ambuje bhabho, ikabheje ambuje mundu bhala bhawaga, shalia jikakwaatabha kabhili bhakongwebho.
3 So then, if she should ‘marry’ another man while her husband is living, she will be labeled an adulteress; but if the husband should die, she is free from that law, not being an adulteress if she marries another man.
Bhai monaga ambuje mundu bhali bhabhakoto, nilombwa na bhalume bhana, gwenego utwai, ikabheje bhalumebho bhawaga, bhakaatabhwa na shalia. Nkali bhalombwaga na bhalume bhana pangali utwai.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death to the law through the body of the Christ so as to belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—so that we should produce fruit to God.
Na malinga mmanganyanji ashaapwanga, nkali mmanganyanji nshikujiwilanga shalia, kwa shiilu sha a Kilishitu nkupinga mmanganje bha bhene bhayushile bhala, nkupinga twaatendele a Nnungu indu ya mmbone.
5 Because when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our body parts to produce fruit to death.
Pabha, putwaliji nndamo ja kagulila indu ya nshiilu, ilokoli ya yambi guipundile kwa ligongo lya shalia, ilitenda liengo mwiilu yetu nikutupeleshela ku shiwo.
6 But now we have been released from the law, having died to what was gripping us, so as to slave in newness of spirit and not in oldness of letter.
Ikabheje nnaino tugopwelwe nshalia, tuiwilile yatutabhaga ila, nkupinga tukombole ndamo ja ambi ja tumishila ya Mbumu, nngabha malinga bhukala putwatumishilaga shalia jijandishwe.
7 So what shall we say then? Is the law sin? Of course not! Indeed, I would not have come to know the sin except through the law: I would not have recognized covetousness if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”
Bhai, tujile bhuli? Shaliaji ni yambi? Ng'oo! Pabha gwangali shalia nganaimanye yambi shili bhuli, nganakumanye kulokolila kaliji shalia jikanalugule, “Nnalokolile yangali ya mmbone.”
8 But the sin, grasping an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. Now without the law sin is dead.
Ikabheje yambi guikwete mashili ligongo lya amuli, gushitendile kila ilokoli nkati jangu. Pabha yambi gwangali shalia, iwile.
9 Once upon a time, without law, I was actually ‘alive’; but when the commandment came, the sin came to life and I died.
Numbe nne punaliji najwankoto gwangali shalia, ikabhe jikaishejepe shalia jila, yambi guiyushile na nne gung'wile.
10 Yes, the commandment that was to bring me life turned out to bring death.
Nne gumweni kuti, shalia jatumbilile kupeleshela gumi jila, jishipeleshela shiwo.
11 Because the sin, grasping an opportunity through the commandment, completely deceived me, and used it to ‘kill’ me.
Pabha yambi shikakoleje mashili kwa ligongo lya shalia jila, gushindembile nimulaga.
12 So then, the law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
Bhai shalia ja a Musha ni ja ukonjelo, na amuli jila, ni ja ukonjelo, na ja mmbone, na ja aki.
13 So has what is good become death to me? Of course not! Rather the sin, that it might be exposed as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment the sin might become extremely sinful.
Bhai bhuli! Gene gali ga mmbone gala, nne nigabhone ga shiwo? Ng'oo! Ikabheje nkupinga shambi shibhoneshe ukoto kuti ni yambi, shialaya shiwo nkati jangu, kwa pitila lya mmbone lila, nkupinga kwa amuli jila, yambi ipunde nyata kaje.
14 We know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, having been ‘sold’ under sin
Pabha tumumanyi kuti shalia ja a Musha shiumilo shakwe ni indu ikopoka Mmbumu jwa a Nnungu, ikabheje nne namundu jwa kagulila indu ya nshiilu, njiushwa muutumwa gwa yambi.
15 —you see, I do not understand what I am doing: I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate!
Pabha ngakushimanya shingutenda, shingupinga tenda shila, ngaatenda, ikabhe shingaapinga shila ni shingutenda.
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
Bhai monaga ngunakunda kuti shingutenda nngabha sha mmbone malinga shinatumbilile tenda, penepo ngunakunda kuti, shalia jila ni jammbone.
17 So now it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin dwelling in me.
Bhai, nngabha nne namwene ngutenda shenesho, ikabhe yambi itama nkati jangu.
18 Further, I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; because to will is present with me, but I do not find how to perform the good.
Pabha nimumanyi kuti, nkati jangu yani nshiilu shangu, shikaatama shindu sha mmbone. Numbe kupinga kutenda indu ya mmbone ngulipinga, ikabheje kutenda ngunalepela.
19 Because I do not do the good that I want to do; rather I practice the evil that I do not want to do.
Pabha shene sha mmbone shingushipinga, ngaatenda, ikabheje shene shangali sha mmbone shingakushipinga ni shingutenda.
20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin dwelling in me.
Bhai monaga shingakushipinga shila ni shingutenda, nngabha nne namwene ngutenda, ikabhe ni yambi itemi nkati jangu ila.
21 So I find this ‘law’: when I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
Bhai nijimanyi jene kweliji, pungupinga tenda shindu sha mmbone, shipali sha nyata shinguagula tenda.
22 I joyfully agree with God's law according to the inner man,
Pabha ngunakwiinonyela shalia ja a Nnungu muntima gwangu.
23 but I see a different ‘law’ in my body parts, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive to the law of the sin that is in my body parts.
Ikabheje nshiilu shangu ngunakujibhona shalia jina jinakomana na shalia ja lunda lwangu, nindenda ntumwa jwa shalia ja yambi, jitemi nshiilu shangu jila.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
Nankulaga nangali malanga nne! Gani shandapule na shiilu sha shiwoshi?
25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, sin's law.
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, pabha ngunatapulwa na a Yeshu Kilishitu bhakulungwa bhetu! Bhai kwa nneyo nne namwene kwa lunda lwangu ngunatumishila shalia ja a Nnungu, ikabhe kwa shiilu shangu ngunatumishila shalia ja yambi.
