Romans 7
1 Brothers and sisters, (I'm speaking here to people who know the law), don't you see that the law has authority over someone only while they're alive?
Nangu mutakumenya, bhana bhasu (kulwo kubha enaika na bhanu bhanu abhabhimenya ebhilagilo), ati ebhilagilo ebhimutunga omunu ungwa ali muanga?
2 For example, a married woman is bound by the law to her husband while he's alive, but if he dies, she's released from this legal obligation to him.
Kulwo kubha omugasi unu atwaywe abhoelwe ne bhilagilo ku uliya omulume wae anu kabha ali muanga, mbe nawe omulume wae akafwa kabha asuluywe mu bhilagilo bhyo bhutwasi.
3 So if she lives with another man while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery. However, if her husband dies and then she marries another man, she wouldn't be guilty of adultery.
Kwibhyo oli, mu mwanya omulume wae akabha achali muanga, akabha ekae no mulume oundi, kabhilikilwa mulomesi. Mbe nawe akabha omulume wae afuye, asulumuywe ingulu ye bhilagilo, kwibhyo atakubha mulomesi akabha akae no mulume undi.
4 In the same way, my friends, you've become dead to the law through the body of Christ, and so now you belong to someone else—Christ, who was raised from the dead so that we could live a productive life for God.
Kulwejo, bhana bhasu, emwe one mwakolelwe bhafuye mu bhilagilo mu njila yo mubhili gwa Kristo. Jilyati koleleki mubhone okugwatanyisibhwa no undi, ku mwene unu asuluywe okusoka mubhafuye koleleki chitule okumwibhulila Nyamuanga amatwasho.
5 While we were controlled by old nature, our sinful desires (as revealed by the law) were at work within us and resulted in death.
kulwo kubha anu chaliga chichali mumubhili, jinamba je chibhibhi jemusibhwe mu bhiungo bhyeswe mu njila ye bhilagilo no kulwibhulila olufu amatwasho.
6 But now we've been set free from the law, and have died to what kept us in chains, so that we can serve in the newness of the spirit and not the old letter of the law.
Mbe nawe woli chigulilwa okusoka mu bhilagilo. Chiifwilie ilya inu yachiganyishe. koleleki eswe chibhone okukolwa bhuyaya mu Mwoyo na atali mu bhwakala bhwe elyandiko.
7 So what do we conclude? That the law is sin? Of course not! I wouldn't have known what sin was unless the law defined it. I wouldn't have realized that wanting to have other people's things for myself was wrong without the law that says, “Don't desire for yourself what belongs to someone else.”
Chaikeki woli? Echilagilo ni chibhibhi? Uli nakatyali. Nitakamenyele chibhibhi, jichilema okumenyekana ku njila ye chilagilo. Kulwo kubha nitakamenyele kuligila echilagilo chichilema okwaika ati, “Wasiga ligila.”
8 But through this commandment sin found a way to stir up in me all kinds of selfish desires—for without law, sin is dead.
Nawe echibhibhi chabhwene omwanya gwe chilagilo chilya nichileta munda yani bhuli nyami yo kuligila. Kulwo kubha chikabha chitalio chibhibhi echilagilo chifuye.
9 I used to live without realizing what the law really meant, but when I understood the implications of that commandment, then sin came back to life, and I died.
Anye naliga nili muanga mubhwambilo nolwo atali bhilagilo, mbe nawe chejile chaja echilagilo, ne chibhibhi nichibhona obhuanga, nanye nifwa.
10 I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life brought death instead,
Echilagilo chilya chinu chakaletele obhuanga nichiinduka nichibha Lufu kwanye.
11 because sin found a way through the commandment to deceive me, and used the commandment to kill me!
Kulwo kubha echibhibhi chabhwene omwanya mu chilagilo chilya na nichinjingajiga. okulabha ku chilagilo chilya, chanyitile.
12 However, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, right, and good.
Kwibhyo ebhilagilo ni bhyelu ne chilagilo ni chelu na yaki one ni ye kisi.
13 Now would something that is good kill me? Of course not! But sin shows itself to be sin by using good to cause my death. So by means of the commandment, it's revealed how evil sin really is.
Kwibhyo woli, inu ili ye kisi yaliga lufu kwanye? Yasiga kubha kutyo chimwi. Nawe echibhibhi, koleleki chibhibhi ati ni chibhibhi muno muno okulabha ku bhye kisi, chaletele olufu munda yani. Gunu gwaliga ati koleleki gulabhe ku chilya echilagilo, echibhibhi nichiyongesha okubha chibhibhi muno.
14 We realize that the law is spiritual; but I'm all-too-human, a slave to sin.
Kulwo kubha chimenyele ati obhusimuka bhwe chibhibhi ni mu mioyo, mbe nawe anye nili munu wa mumubhili. Nigulilwe emwalo yo bhugaya bhye chibhibhi.
15 I really don't understand what I'm doing. I do the things I don't want to do, and what I hate doing, that's what I do!
Kulwo kubha gunu enikola, nitakugumenya abhwelu. Kulwo kubha linu enenda okukola, elyo niliyo nitakukola, na linu linfululusishe, elyo nilyo enikola.
16 But if I'm saying that I do what I don't want to, this shows that I admit the law is good and right.
Mbe alabha nikalikola linu nitakwenda, enikilishanya ne bhilagilo ati ebhilagilo ni bhya kisi.
17 So it's no longer me who does this, but sin living in me—
Mbe nawe woli gutali mwoyo gwani gunu ogukola ago, nawe ni chibhibhi chilya chinu chikae Munda yani.
18 for I know that there's nothing good in me as far as my sinful human nature is concerned. Even though I want to do good, I'm just not able to do it.
Kulwo kubha nimenyele ati munda Yani, ati munda yo mubhili gwani, gutakwinyanjamo musango gwe kisi. Kulwo kubha inamba ya linu Lili lye kisi Lili munda yani, mbe nawe nitakulikola.
19 The good I want to do, I don't do; while the evil I don't want to do, that's what I end up doing!
Kulwo kubha Lilya elye kisi linu nendele nitakola, nawe Lilya libhibhi linu nitakwenda kelyo niliyo enikola.
20 However, if I'm doing what I don't want to, then it's no longer me doing it, but sin living in me.
Labha woli enikola Lilya nitakwenda, mbe atali anye omwene-la nawe ni chilya echibhibhi chinu chikae Munda Yani.
21 This is the principle I've discovered: if I want to do what's good, evil is always there too.
Nimenyele, lindi, chilimo echilagilo munda Yani echo kwenda okukola linu Lili lye kisi, mbe nawe obhubhibhi chimwi bhuli munda Yani.
22 My inner self is delighted with God's law,
Kulwo kubha inichikondelelwa echilagilo cha Nyamuanga kwa bhumunu bhwa Munda.
23 but I see a different law at work within me that is at war with the law my mind has decided to follow, making me a prisoner of the law of sin that is within me.
Nawe enilola echilagilo chinu chitasikene mu bhiungo bhyo mubhili gwani. eiletwa lilemo ingulu ye chilagilo chiyaya mu bhwenge bhwani. Einkola anye kubha mugaya we bhilagilo bhye chibhibhi chinu chili mu bhiungo bhyo mubhili gwani.
24 I'm totally miserable! Who will rescue me from this body that's causing my death? Thank God—for he does this through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Anye nili munu wo bhusulubhae! Niga unu kajokunkisha no mubhili gunu ogwo lufu?
25 Here's the situation: while I myself choose with my mind to obey God's law, my human nature obeys the law of sin.
Mbe nawe isime ku Nyamuanga ku Yesu Kristo Latabhugenyi weswe! Kwibhyo oli. Anye omwene kwo bhwenge bhwani enichikolela echilagilo cha Nyamuanga. Nawe, kwo mubhili enichikolela echilagilo che chibhibhi.
