Romans 8
1 There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
Yango wana sik’oyo, etumbu ezali lisusu te mpo na bato oyo bazali kati na Yesu-Klisto.
2 for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death;
Pamba te kati na Yesu-Klisto, Mobeko ya Molimo oyo apesaka bomoi ekangoli ngai na bowumbu ya mobeko ya lisumu mpe ya kufa.
3 for what the Law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
Pamba te likambo oyo Mobeko ekokaki kosala te mpo ete bomoto ezangisaki yango nguya, Nzambe asalaki yango na kotinda Mwana na Ye, na nzoto oyo ekokani na nzoto ya bato ya masumu, mpo ete akoma likabo mpo na lisumu. Boye, akatelaki masumu etumbu kati na nzoto ya bato.
4 that the righteousness of the Law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Asalaki bongo mpo ete bosembo oyo Mobeko esengaka ekokisama kati na biso oyo totambolaka te kolanda baposa ya nzoto, kasi kolanda Molimo.
5 For those who are according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;
Bato oyo batambolaka kolanda baposa ya nzoto batiaka makanisi na bango na makambo ya nzoto, kasi ba-oyo batambolaka kolanda Molimo batiaka makanisi na bango na makambo ya Molimo.
6 for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit—life and peace;
Baposa ya nzoto ememaka na kufa, kasi baposa ya Molimo ememaka na bomoi mpe na kimia.
7 because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the Law of God it does not subject itself,
Baposa ya nzoto etombokelaka Nzambe, etosaka Mobeko ya Nzambe te mpe ekotikala kotosa yango ata moke te.
8 for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
Bato oyo batambolaka kolanda baposa ya nzoto bakoki kosepelisa Nzambe te.
9 And you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you; and if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ—this one is not His;
Nzokande bino, botambolaka te kolanda baposa ya nzoto, kasi kolanda baposa ya Molimo, mpo ete Molimo ya Nzambe azali kati na bino. Mpe soki moto azangi Molimo ya Klisto azali mpe moto na Ye te.
10 and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
Kasi soki Klisto azali kati na bino, atako nzoto na bino ekokufa mpo na lisumu, kasi Molimo azali bomoi kati na bino, pamba te bokoma bato ya sembo.
11 and if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus out of the dead dwells in you, He who raised up the Christ out of the dead will also quicken your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.
Mpe soki Molimo ya Ye oyo asekwisaki Yesu kati na bakufi azali kovanda kati na bino, Ye oyo asekwisaki Klisto kati na bakufi akopesa mpe bomoi epai na banzoto na bino, oyo ebengami na kokufa, na nzela ya Molimo na Ye, oyo avandaka kati na bino.
12 So, then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
Yango wana bandeko na ngai, tozali na niongo—kasi ezali niongo ya nzoto te mpo ete totambola te kolanda baposa ya nzoto.
13 for if according to the flesh you live, you are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body you put to death, you will live;
Pamba te soki botamboli kolanda baposa ya nzoto bokokufa; kasi soki bobomi, na nzela ya Molimo, misala mabe oyo bosalaka kati na banzoto na bino, bokozala na bomoi.
14 for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
Pamba te bato oyo batambolisamaka na Molimo ya Nzambe bazali bana na Nzambe.
15 for you did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but you received [the] Spirit of adoption in which we cry, “Abba! Father!”
Solo, bozwaki te Molimo oyo akomisaka bino bawumbu mpo ete bozala na kobanga, kasi bozwaki Molimo oyo akomisaka bino bana na Nzambe, mpe ezali na nzela ya Molimo yango nde togangaka: « Tata! »
16 [This] One—the Spirit—testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God;
Molimo Ye moko atatolaka na molimo na biso ete tozali bana na Nzambe.
17 and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.
Mpe soki tozali bana, tozali mpe bakitani ya libula: tozali bakitani ya libula ya Nzambe, mpe bakitani ya libula elongo na Klisto, soki penza tozali komona pasi elongo na Ye mpo ete tozwa mpe nkembo elongo na Ye.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
Nakanisi ete pasi ya tango oyo ekokani te na motuya ya nkembo oyo ekomonisama mpo na biso.
19 for the earnest looking out of the creation expects the revelation of the sons of God;
Pamba te bikelamu nyonso ezali kozela na posa makasi ete bana na Nzambe bamonisama.
20 for to vanity was the creation made subject—not of its will, but because of Him who subjected [it]—in hope,
Pamba te bikelamu nyonso ezali na se ya bokonzi ya nguya oyo esukaka na pamba; na mokano na yango moko te, kasi na mokano ya Ye oyo atiaki bikelamu yango na se ya bokonzi yango, na elikya ete
21 that also the creation itself will be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
bikelamu nyonso mpe ekokangolama na bowumbu ya libebi na yango mpo na kozwa bonsomi ya nkembo oyo bana na Nzambe bakozwa.
22 for we have known that all the creation groans together, and travails in pain together until now.
Toyebi malamu ete kino sik’oyo, bikelamu nyonso ezali kolela pasi lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.
23 And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting adoption—the redemption of our body;
Ezali yango moko kaka te nde ezali kolela; kasi biso ba-oyo mpe tozwaki Molimo lokola mbuma ya liboso tozali mpe komona pasi kati na mitema, wana tozali kozela na posa makasi ete Nzambe akomisa biso bana na Ye penza mpe asikola banzoto na biso.
24 for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what anyone beholds, why does he also hope for [it]?
Pamba te tosila kobika, kasi kobika yango ezali nanu elikya. Nzokande soki tozali komona eloko oyo tozali kotiela elikya, wana ezali lisusu elikya te, pamba te nani akoki kotia elikya na eloko oyo azali komona?
25 And if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
Kasi soki tozali kotia elikya na eloko oyo tozali komona te, solo tokozela yango na molende.
26 And in like manner also, the Spirit helps our weaknesses; for what we may pray for, as it is necessary, we have not known, but [this] One—the Spirit—makes intercession for us with unutterable groanings,
Ndenge moko mpe Molimo ayaka kosunga biso kati na bolembu na biso; pamba te toyebi te kosambela na lolenge oyo esengeli, kasi Molimo Ye moko abondelaka mpo na biso na maloba oyo moto akoki koloba te.
27 and He who is searching the hearts has known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God He intercedes for holy ones.
Mpe Nzambe oyo akundolaka mozindo ya mitema ayebi makanisi ya Molimo, pamba te Molimo abondelaka mpo na basantu kolanda mokano ya Nzambe.
28 And we have known that to those loving God all things work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
Mpe toyebi malamu ete kati na makambo nyonso, Nzambe asalaka mpo na bolamu ya bato oyo balingaka Ye, ba-oyo babengama kolanda mabongisi na Ye.
29 because whom He foreknew, He also foreordained, conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be firstborn among many brothers;
Pamba te bato oyo Nzambe ayeba wuta kala, abongisa mpe bango wuta kala mpo ete bakokana na Mwana na Ye, mpo ete azala Mwana ya liboso kati na bandeko ebele.
30 and whom He foreordained, these also He called; and whom He called, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He glorified.
Mpe ba-oyo abongisa wuta kala, abenga mpe bango; ba-oyo abenga, akomisa bango bato ya sembo; mpe ba-oyo akomisa bato ya sembo, apesa bango mpe nkembo na Ye.
31 What, then, will we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
Boye, toloba lisusu nini? Soki Nzambe azali mpo na biso, nani akotelemela biso?
32 He who indeed did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him grant to us all things?
Ye oyo aboyaki te kopesa Mwana na Ye se moko, kasi akabaki Ye mpo na biso nyonso, ndenge nini azanga kopesa biso biloko nyonso elongo na Ye na nzela ya ngolu?
33 Who will lay a charge against the chosen ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous;
Nani akofunda bato oyo Nzambe apona? Ezali Nzambe nde akomisaka sembo.
34 who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, indeed, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God—who also interceded for us.
Nani akokatela bango etumbu? Moko te! Yesu-Klisto akufaki; kutu, asekwaki, azali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Nzambe, mpe azali kobondela mpo na biso.
35 Who will separate us from the love of the Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Nani akokabola biso na bolingo ya Klisto? Pasi, somo, minyoko, nzala, kozanga bilamba, likama to mopanga?
36 According as it has been written: “For Your sake we are put to death all the day long; we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter.”
Kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Ezali mpo na Yo nde balukaka koboma biso mikolo nyonso; bazwaka biso lokola bameme ya koboma. »
37 But in all these we more than conquer, through Him who loved us;
Kasi kati na makambo oyo nyonso, tozali penza balongi na nzela ya Ye oyo alinga biso.
38 for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
Pamba te nandimisami ete ezala kufa to bomoi, ba-anjelu to milimo mabe, makambo ya mikolo oyo to makambo oyo ekoya, banguya ya ndenge na ndenge,
39 nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
banguya ya likolo to ya se ya mabele to eloko mosusu oyo Nzambe akela, eloko moko te ekoki kokabola biso na bolingo ya Nzambe kati na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
