Romans 7
1 Knowe yee not, brethren, (for I speake to them that knowe the Lawe) that the Lawe hath dominion ouer a man as long as he liueth?
Ẹ̀yin kò ha mọ̀, ara: nítorí èmí bá àwọn tí ó mọ òfin sọ̀rọ̀ pé, òfin ní ipá lórí ènìyàn níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ó bá wà láààyè nìkan?
2 For the woman which is in subiection to a man, is bound by the Lawe to the man, while he liueth: but if the man bee dead, shee is deliuered from the lawe of the man.
Fún àpẹẹrẹ, nípa òfin ní a de obìnrin mọ́ ọkọ rẹ̀ níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ọkọ náà wà láààyè, ṣùgbọ́n bí ọkọ rẹ̀ bá kú, a tú u sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú òfin ìgbéyàwó náà.
3 So then, if while the man liueth, she taketh another man, she shalbe called an adulteresse: but if the man be dead, she is free from the Law, so that shee is not an adulteresse, though shee take another man.
Nígbà náà, bí ó bá fẹ́ ọkùnrin mìíràn nígbà tí ọkọ rẹ̀ wà láààyè, panṣágà ní a ó pè é. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ọkọ rẹ̀ bá kú, ó bọ́ lọ́wọ́ òfin náà, kí yóò sì jẹ́ panṣágà bí ó bá ní ọkọ mìíràn.
4 So yee, my brethren, are dead also to the Law by ye body of Christ, that ye should be vnto an other, euen vnto him that is raised vp from the dead, that we should bring foorth fruite vnto God.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin ará mi, ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ti di òkú sí òfin nípa ara Kristi, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè ní ẹlòmíràn, àní ẹni náà tí a jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú, kí àwa kí ó lè so èso fún Ọlọ́run.
5 For when we were in ye flesh, the affections of sinnes, which were by the Law, had force in our members, to bring foorth fruit vnto death.
Nítorí ìgbà tí a wa nípa ti ara, ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ nípa ti òfin, ma ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú wa, tí a sì ń so èso tí ó yẹ fún ikú.
6 But now we are deliuered from the Lawe, he being dead in whom we were holden, that we should serue in newnesse of Spirite, and not in the oldnesse of the letter.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, nípa kíkú ohun tó so wá pọ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀ rí, a ti tú wa sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú òfin, kí a lè sin ín ní ìlànà tuntun ti Ẹ̀mí, kì í ṣe ní ìlànà àtijọ́ tí ìwé òfin gùnlé.
7 What shall we say then? Is the Lawe sinne? God forbid. Nay, I knewe not sinne, but by the Lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Lawe had sayd, Thou shalt not lust.
Ǹjẹ́ àwa o ha ti wí, nígbà náà? Òfin ha ń ṣe ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bí? Kí a má rí i! Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kì bá tí mọ ohun tí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jẹ́, bí kò ṣe nípa òfin. Èmi kì bá tí mọ ojúkòkòrò, bí kò ṣe bí òfin ti wí pé, “Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ojúkòkòrò.”
8 But sinne tooke an occasion by ye commandement, and wrought in me all maner of concupiscence: for without the Lawe sinne is dead.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sì ti ipa òfin rí ààyè ṣiṣẹ́ onírúurú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ nínú mi. Nítorí láìsí òfin, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jẹ́ ikú.
9 For I once was aliue, without the Law: but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued,
Èmi sì ti wà láààyè láìsí òfin nígbà kan rí; ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí òfin dé, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sọjí èmi sì kú.
10 But I died: and the same commandement which was ordeined vnto life, was found to be vnto me vnto death.
Mo ṣàkíyèsí pé òfin tí ó yẹ kí ó mú ìyè wá ni ó padà mú ikú wá.
11 For sinne tooke occasion by the commandement, and deceiued me, and thereby slewe me.
Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ti ipa òfin rí ààyè láti tàn mí jẹ, ó sì ti ipa òfin ṣe ikú pa mi.
12 Wherefore the Lawe is holy, and that commandement is holy, and iust, and good.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mímọ́ ni òfin, mímọ́ sì ni àṣẹ, àti òdodo, àti dídára.
13 Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid: but sinne, that it might appeare sinne, wrought death in me by that which is good, that sinne might be out of measure sinfull by the commandement.
Ǹjẹ́ ohun tí ó dára ha di ikú fún mi bí? Kí a má rí i! Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, kí ó lè farahàn bí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ó ń ti ipa ohun tí ó dára ṣiṣẹ́ ikú nínú mi, kí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ lè ti ipa òfin di búburú rékọjá.
14 For we knowe that the Law is spirituall, but I am carnall, solde vnder sinne.
Nítorí àwa mọ̀ pé ohun ẹ̀mí ni òfin, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni ti ara ni èmi, tí a ti tà sábẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
15 For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.
Èmi pàápàá, kò mọ̀ ohun tí èmi ń ṣe. Nítorí pé, ohun tí mo fẹ́ ṣe gan an n kò ṣe é, ṣùgbọ́n ohun tí mo kórìíra ni mo ń ṣe.
16 If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí mo bá ṣe ohun tí èmi kò fẹ́, mo gbà pé òfin dára.
17 Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ọ̀rọ̀ ṣe rí yìí kì í ṣe èmi ni ó ṣe é bí kò ṣe ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ń gbé inú mi.
18 For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.
Èmi mọ̀ dájú pé kò sí ohun tí ó dára kan tí ń gbé inú mi, àní, nínú ara ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi. Èmi fẹ́ ṣe èyí tí ó dára, ṣùgbọ́n kò sé é ṣe.
19 For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.
Nítorí ohun tí èmi ṣe kì í ṣe ohun rere tí èmi fẹ́ láti ṣe; rárá, ṣùgbọ́n búburú tí èmi kò fẹ́, èyí nì ni èmi ń ṣe.
20 Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me.
Nísinsin yìí, bí mo bá ń ṣe nǹkan tí n kò fẹ́ láti ṣe, kì í ṣe èmí fúnra mi ni ó ṣe é, bí kò ṣe ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ń bẹ nínú ni ó ṣe é.
21 I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me.
Nítorí náà, èmi kíyèsi pé òfin ní ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú mi, nígbà tí èmi bá fẹ́ ṣe rere, búburú wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú mi.
22 For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man:
Nínú ìjìnlẹ̀ ọkàn mi mo ní inú dídùn sí òfin Ọlọ́run;
23 But I see another Law in my members, rebelling against the Lawe of my minde, and leading me captiue vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members.
mo rí òfin mìíràn tó ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú ẹ̀yà ara mi, èyí tí ń gbógun ti òfin tó tinú ọkàn mi wá, èyí tí ó sọ mi di ẹrú òfin ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú ẹ̀yà ara mi.
24 O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death!
Èmi ẹni òsì! Ta ni yóò ha gbà mí sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ ara kíkú yìí?
25 I thanke God through Iesus Christ our Lord. Then I my selfe in my minde serue the Lawe of God, but in my flesh the lawe of sinne.
Ọpẹ́ ni fún Ọlọ́run nípasẹ̀ Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa! Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà, èmi fúnra mi jẹ́ ẹrú sí òfin Ọlọ́run, ṣùgbọ́n nínú ara ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mo jẹ́ ẹrú fún òfin ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
