< Romans 8 >
1 Now then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, which walke not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Ya mere, ikpe ọmụma ọbụla adịghịkwa ugbu a nye ndị niile nọ nʼime Jisọs Kraịst.
2 For the Lawe of the Spirite of life, which is in Christ Iesus, hath freed mee from the lawe of sinne and of death.
Nʼihi na site na Kraịst Jisọs iwu nke Mmụọ na-enye ndụ emeela ka m nwere onwe m site nʼiwu nke mmehie na ọnwụ.
3 For (that that was impossible to ye Lawe, in as much as it was weake, because of ye flesh) God sending his owne Sonne, in ye similitude of sinful flesh, and for sinne, condened sinne in the flesh,
Nʼihi na ihe iwu na-enweghị ike ime, nʼihi adịghị ike nke anụ ahụ, ka Chineke mere, site nʼizite Ọkpara ya, ka ọ bịa nʼụdịdị anụ ahụ mmehie, bụrụ aja mmehie, site otu a, maa mmehie ikpe na anụ ahụ.
4 That that righteousnes of the Law might be fulfilled in vs, which walke not after ye flesh, but after the Spirit.
Ka izu ezu nke ihe niile iwu chọrọ nʼaka anyị bụrụ ihe e mezuru nʼime anyị, bụ ndị na-adịghị ebi ndụ dịka ọchịchọ anụ ahụ si dịrị, kama dịka ọchịchọ Mmụọ Nsọ si dị.
5 For they that are after the flesh, sauour the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Ndị niile na-ebi ndụ ha dịka anụ ahụ siri chọọ, na-ebi ya naanị imezu agụụ niile na-agụ anụ ahụ ha. Ma ndị niile na-agbaso ụzọ nke Mmụọ na-achọpụta na ha na-eme ihe Mmụọ na-achọ.
6 For the wisedome of the flesh is death: but the wisedome of the Spirit is life and peace,
Ịtụkwasị uche nʼihe nke anụ ahụ na-eweta ọnwụ. Ma ịtụkwasị uche nʼihe nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-eweta ndụ na udo.
7 Because the wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God: for it is not subiect to the Lawe of God, neither in deede can be.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla tụkwasịrị uche ya nʼihe nke anụ ahụ na-ebuso Chineke agha, ọ naghị edebe iwu nke Chineke. Nʼeziokwu, ọ gaghị enwe ike idebe ya.
8 So then they that are in the flesh, can not please God.
Ya mere, ndị na-erubere anụ ahụ ha isi apụghị ime ihe ga-atọ Chineke ụtọ.
9 Now ye are not in the flesh, but in ye Spirit, because ye spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any man hath not ye Spirit of Christ, ye same is not his.
Ma lee! Unu onwe unu anaghị ebizi ndụ nʼusoro nke anụ ahụ, kama unu na-ebi nʼusoro nke Mmụọ Nsọ nʼihi na Mmụọ nke Chineke bi nʼime unu. Onye ọbụla na-enweghị Mmụọ nke Kraịst abụghị nke ya.
10 And if Christ bee in you, the body is dead, because of sinne: but the Spirite is life for righteousnesse sake.
Ọ bụrụkwa na Kraịst bi nʼime unu, anụ ahụ unu ga-abụ ihe nwụrụ anwụ nʼebe mmehie dị, ma mmụọ unu dị ndụ nʼihi na a gụọla unu na ndị ezi omume.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised vp Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Ọ bụrụ na Mmụọ onye mere ka Jisọs si nʼọnwụ bilie, bi nʼime gị, onye ahụ nke mere ka Kraịst si nʼọnwụ bilie ga-emekwa ka anụ ahụ gị dị ndụ site nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ, onye bi nʼime gị.
12 Therefore brethren, wee are detters not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh:
Ya mere, ụmụnna m, anyị ji ụgwọ ma ọ bụghị anụ ahụ ka anyị ji ụgwọ ịdị ndụ dịka ọchịchọ ya si dị.
13 For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if yee mortifie the deedes of the body by the Spirit, ye shall liue.
Ọ bụrụ na unu na-ebi ndụ dịka anụ ahụ si chọọ, unu ga-anwụ. Ma ọ bụrụ na unu ga-eji ike nke Mmụọ Nsọ mee ka omume niile nke anụ ahụ nwụọ, unu ga-adị ndụ.
14 For as many as are ledde by the Spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God.
Nʼihi na ndị niile Mmụọ nke Chineke na-achị bụ ụmụ Chineke.
15 For ye haue not receiued the Spirit of bodage, to feare againe: but ye haue receiued the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father.
Nʼihi na unu anataghị mmụọ nke na-eme unu ndị ohu ọzọ nye ịtụ ụjọ, kama unu natara Mmụọ nke mere unu ụmụ Chineke. Ọ bụ site na Mmụọ ahụ ka anyị ji na-akpọ “Abba, Nna.”
16 The same Spirit beareth witnesse with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
Mmụọ Nsọ, nʼonwe ya na-agbakwa ama nʼime mmụọ anyị, na-agwa anyị na anyị bụ ụmụ Chineke.
17 If we be children, we are also heires, euen the heires of God, and heires annexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na anyị bụ ụmụ, ọ pụtara na anyị bụ ndị nketa oke, ndị ga-eketa ihe Chineke nwere, na ndị ha na Kraịst ga-ekekọta ihe, ma ọ bụrụ nʼezie na anyị ga-esoro ya keta oke ahụhụ ya, ka anyị si otu a sorokwa ya keta oke nʼebube ya.
18 For I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vnto vs.
Nʼikwu eziokwu, ahụhụ niile anyị na-ata ugbu a erughị ihe a ga-eji tụnyere ebube niile a ga-ekpughe nʼime anyị.
19 For the feruent desire of the creature waiteth when the sonnes of God shalbe reueiled,
Ihe niile e kere eke ji oke agụụ na-eche mgbe a ga-egosipụta ndị bụ ụmụ Chineke.
20 Because the creature is subiect to vanitie, not of it owne will, but by reason of him, which hath subdued it vnder hope,
Nʼihi na e tinyere ihe e kere eke nʼọnọdụ ihe na-abaghị uru, ma ọ bụghị site nʼọchịchọ nke onwe ya, kama nʼọchịchọ nke onye ahụ tinyere ya nʼọnọdụ ahụ nʼime olileanya,
21 Because the creature also shall be deliuered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious libertie of the sonnes of God.
na otu ụbọchị na ha ga-enwere onwe ha site nʼagbụ nke ire ure, sorokwa keta oke nʼebube ahụ ga-abụ nke ụmụ Chineke.
22 For we knowe that euery creature groneth with vs also, and trauaileth in paine together vnto this present.
Anyị maara na ruo ugbu a, ihe niile e kere eke na-asụ ude nʼihi ihe mgbu ha nọ nʼime ya, dịka ihe mgbu nke ọmụmụ nwa.
23 And not onely the creature, but we also which haue the first fruites of the Spirit, euen we doe sigh in our selues, waiting for the adoption, euen the redemption of our body.
Ọ bụghị naanị nke a, ma anyị onwe anyị, ndị nwere mkpụrụ mbụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ, na-asụkwa ude nʼime onwe anyị, na-echesi ike mgbe a ga-akpọbata anyị dịka ụmụ, mgbe a ga-agbapụta anụ ahụ anyị.
24 For we are saued by hope: but hope that is seene, is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which he seeth?
Nʼihi na a zọpụtara anyị site nʼolileanya dị otu a. Ma olileanya a na-ahụ anya abụghị olileanya. Onye na-enwe olileanya mgbe ihe ọ na-ele anya ya dị ya nʼaka?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, we doe with patience abide for it.
Ma ọ bụrụ na olileanya anyị dabeere nʼihe ahụ anyị na-enwetabeghị, anyị ga-eji ndidi chere tutu ihe ahụ erute anyị aka.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we knowe not what to pray as wee ought: but the Spirit it selfe maketh request for vs with sighs, which cannot be expressed.
Otu aka ahụ, Mmụọ Nsọ na-enyere anyị aka nʼime adịghị ike anyị. Nʼihi na anyị amaghị ka esi ekpe ekpere dịka o kwesiri. Ma Mmụọ Nsọ nʼonwe ya ji ịsụ ude nke ọnụ apụghị ịkọ na-arịọrọ anyị arịrịọ.
27 But he that searcheth the heartes, knoweth what is the meaning of the Spirit: for he maketh request for ye Saints, according to the wil of God.
Chineke, onye na-enyocha obi mmadụ, amarala ihe Mmụọ Nsọ bụ nʼuche. Nʼihi na Mmụọ Nsọ na-arịọrọ ndị nsọ niile arịrịọ dịka Chineke si chọọ.
28 Also we knowe that all thinges worke together for the best vnto them that loue God, euen to them that are called of his purpose.
Anyị maara na ihe niile na-arụkọta ọrụ maka ọdịmma ndị hụrụ Chineke nʼanya bụ ndị a kpọrọ dịka uche nsọ ya siri dị.
29 For those which hee knewe before, he also predestinate to bee made like to the image of his Sonne, that hee might be the first borne among many brethren.
Nʼihi na ndị ahụ ọ maararị ka ọ kakwara akara ka ha nwe ụdịdị nke Ọkpara ya, ka ọ bụrụ nwa e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼetiti ọtụtụ ụmụnna.
30 Moreouer whom he predestinate, them also he called, and whom he called, them also he iustified, and whom he iustified, them he also glorified.
Ma ndị ahụ ọ kara akara, ka ọ kpọkwara; ndị ọ kpọrọ, ka ọ gụrụ na ndị ezi omume; ndị ọ gụrụ na ndị ezi omume ka o nyekwara otuto.
31 What shall we then say to these thinges? If God be on our side, who can be against vs?
Gịnị ọzọ ka anyị ga-ekwu banyere ihe ndị a. Ọ bụrụ na Chineke nọnyere anyị, onye pụrụ imegide anyị?
32 Who spared not his owne Sonne, but gaue him for vs all to death, how shall he not with him giue vs all things also?
Onye ahụ na-azọghị ndụ Ọkpara ya, kama o weere ya nye nʼihi mmehie anyị niile, ọ dị ihe ọzọ anyị chọrọ ọ na-agaghị enye anyị site na ya?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? it is God that iustifieth,
Onye pụrụ ibo ndị ahụ Chineke họpụtara ebubo? Ọ bụ Chineke na-agụ mmadụ dịka onye ezi omume.
34 Who shall condemne? it is Christ which is dead, yea, or rather, which is risen againe, who is also at the right hand of God, and maketh request also for vs.
Onye bụ onye ahụ nke ga-ama ikpe? Ọ bụ Kraịst Jisọs onye nwụrụ, ma karịa nke ahụ, onye e mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie, nọ nʼaka nri Chineke na-arịọtakwara anyị arịrịọ.
35 Who shall separate vs from the loue of Christ? shall tribulation or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sworde?
Onye nwere ike ikewapụ anyị site nʼịhụnanya Kraịst? Ọ bụ nsogbu, ka ọ bụ ihe isi ike, ka ọ bụ mkpagbu. Ka ọ bụ ụnwụ, ka ọ bụ ịgba ọtọ, ka ọ bụ ihe egwu, ka ọ bụ mma agha?
36 As it is written, For thy sake are we killed all day long: we are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
Dịka e dere ya, “Ọ bụ nʼihi gị ka anyị na ọnwụ ji na-agba mgba ụbọchị niile. A na-ele anyị anya dịka atụrụ a gaje igbu egbu.”
37 Neuerthelesse, in all these thinges we are more then coquerours through him that loued vs.
Mba, kama nʼime ihe ndị a niile, anyị karịrị ndị mmeri site nʼonye ahụ hụrụ anyị nʼanya.
38 For I am perswaded that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe m maara nke ọma, na ọnwụ, maọbụ ndụ, maọbụ ndị mmụọ ozi, maọbụ mmụọ dị iche iche ndị na-achị nʼelu na nʼụwa, maọbụ ike ọchịchịrị dị iche iche, maọbụ ihe dị ugbu a, maọbụ ihe gaje ịbịa,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shalbe able to separate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesus our Lord.
maọbụ ịdị elu, maọbụ ịdị omimi, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ e kere eke, agaghị enwe ike ikewapụ anyị site nʼịhụnanya Chineke, nke dị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị.
