Romans 7
1 Do you not know, brethren, (for I speak to them who know law, ) that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?
Au mumanyilepi bhalongobhangu (kwa kujha nilongela ni bhanu ambabho bhajhimanyili sheria), kwamba sheria jhikan'tabhwala munu pa ijha hai?
2 For the married woman is bound, by law, to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband be dead, she is released from the law of her husband.
Kwandabha n'dala jha agegikibhu akhongibhu ni sheria kwa jhola ngwana munu paijha muomi, lakini akajhelayi ngwanamunu afuili, ibetakujha ajhe huru kuhoma sheria jha ndobho.
3 If, then, indeed, while her husband lives, she be married to another, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though married to another husband.
Henu basi, bho ngwanamunu akona muomi, ni muene itama ni n'gosi jhongi, ibetakukutibhwa mzinzi. Lakini ikajhiajhi ngwanamunu afuili, ajhe huru dhidi jha sheria, efyo ibetalepi kujha mzinzi ikajhiajhi igenda ni n'gosi jhongi.
4 Thus, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law, by the body of Christ, that you may be married to another, who rose from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.
Henu, bhalongobhangu, muenga kabhele mwajhele mwe bhafu kwa sheria kwa njela jha mb'el'e ghwa Kristu. Jhijhe naha ili mukabhayi kuunganisibhwa ni jhongi, kwa muene ambajhe afunulibhu kuhoma kwa bhafu ili tubhwesiajhi kun'hogolela K'yara matunda.
5 For when we were in the flesh, our sinful passions which were through the law, wrought effectually in our members, to bring forth fruit to death.
Kwa ndabha bho tujhele mu hali jha mb'el'e, tamaa sya dhambi syajhumuiki mu fiungo fya tete kwa njela jha sheria ni kujhihogolela mauti matunda.
6 But now, having died with Christ, we are released from the law, by which we were held in bondage; so that we may serve God in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
Lakini henu tubhopolibhu kuhoma mu sheria. Tujhifwelili hali jhela jhatubelili. Ili tete tukabhayi kutumika mu hali jipya jha Roho, ni tete mu hali muandi jha lijhandiku.
7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? By no means. Indeed, I had not known sin, except by the law. For I had not known even inordinate desire, unless the law had said, "You shall not lust."
Tujobhajhi bhuli henu? Sheria ndo dhambi? La hasha. Hata naha nganijhimanyilepi dhambi, ngajhibeli kujha kwa njela jha sheria. Kwa kujha nganilimanyilepi kunoghela kama sheria ngajhijobhi lepi, “Usinogheli.”
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of inordinate desire: for without the law sin is dead.
Lakini dhambi jhakabhili nafasi kwa jhela amri na jhaletili mugati mwa nene khila aina jha kunoghela. Kwa ndabha dhambi bila sheria jhifwa.
9 For I was alive, once, without the law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died.
Nami najhele ne muomi apu hoti bila sheria, lakini bho jhihidili amri jhela, dhambi jhakabhili bhuomi, ninene nafwili.
10 Yes, the commandment which was for live, the very same was found to be death to me.
Amri jhela ambajho ngajhiletili bhuzima jhasanuiki kujha mauti kwa nene.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Kwa ndabha dhambi jhakabhili naafasi kwa jhela amri na jhanikofili. Kup'etela amri jhela, jhanikhomili.
12 Wherefore, the law is holy, and the commandment holy, just, and good.
Efyo sheria ndo takatifu, ni jhela amri ndo takatifu jha haki, ni jhinofu.
13 Has, then, that which is good become death to me? By no means. But sin becomes death, in order that it might manifest itself, causing death to me by that which is good: so that sin, (through the commandment, ) might be an exceedingly great sinner.
Nahu basi jhela jhajhijhele jhinofu jhajhele mauti kwa nene? Jhisijhi naha kamwe. Lakini dhambi, ili jhibhonekayi kujha dhambi hasa kup'et'ela jhela jhinofu, aletili mauti mugati mwa nene. Ejhe jhajhele kwamba kup'et'ela amri jhela, dhambi jhijhelayi jhibhibhi nesu.
14 Besides, we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Kwa ndabha tumanyili jha kujha sheria asili jhiake ndo muroho, lakini nene ne munu ghwa mumb'el'e. Nihemelisibhu pasi pa utumwa bhwa dhambi.
15 For that which I do, I do not approve; since it is not what I desire that I do: but I do that which I hate.
Ndabha lyanibhomba, nikalijhelebhwa lepi kinofu. Kwa kujha lela lyaniganili kubhomba, nikalibhombalepi ni lela lyanilidadili ndo lyanibhomba.
16 If, now, I do that which I do not desire, I consent to the law that it is good.
Lakini kama nilibhombili lela lyanikalilonda lepi, nijhedek'elana ni sheria jha kujha sheria jhinofu.
17 But now it is no longer I myself who do this; but sin which dwells in me.
Lakini henu nene lepi nafsi jha nene jhanibhomba e'lu, bali ndo dhambi jhela jhajhatama mugati mwa nene.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, there dwells no good thing: for to desire what is good, is easy for me; but to do it, I find difficult.
Kwa ndabha nimanyili jha kujha mugati mwa nene, yaani mugati mu mb'el'e bhwa nene, litamalepi lijambo linofu. Kwa kujha tamaa jha lyalijhele linofu lijhele mugati mwa nene, lakini nikalibhomba lepi.
19 For the good which I desire, that I do not: but the evil which I desire not, that I do.
Kwa ndabha linofu lela lyanilaganili nikalibhombi lepi bali lela liovu lyaniliganilepi ndo lyanibhomba.
20 Now, if I do that which I do not desire, it is no longer I who do it; but sin, which dwells in me.
Henu kama nibhomba lela lyaniliganilepi, nene lepi binafsi, jhanibhomba, bali dhambi jhela jhajhitama mugati mwa nene.
21 I find, then, that it is a law to me, when desirous to do good, that evil is near me.
Nimanyili, kabhele, jhijhele kanuni mugati mwa nene jha kulonda kubhomba lyalijhele linofu, lakini bhuovu kweli bhujhele mugati mwa nene.
22 For I take pleasure in the law of God, as to the inner man:
Kwa ndabha nikajhihobhokela sheria jha K'yara kwa utu bhwa mugati.
23 but I perceive another law, in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and making me a captive to the law of sin, which is in my members.
Lakini nibhona kanuni jhajhijhele tofauti mu fiungo fya mbele bhwangu. Jhileta ngondo dhidi jha kanuni njipya mu luhala lwangu. Jhikanibh'eka nene kujha mataka kwa kanuni jha dhambi jhajhijhele mu fiungo fya mb'el'e bhwangu.
24 Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death?
Nene ne munu ghwa kwilombosya! Niani jhaibetakuniokola ni mb'el'e obho bhwa mauti?
25 I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! Wherefore, then, indeed, I myself serve, with my mind, the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
Lakini nibhombesya kwa K'yara kwa Yesu Kristu Bwana bhitu! Naha basi. Nene ne muene kwa luhala lwa jhoni nikajhitumikila sheria jha K'yara. Bali, kwa mb'el'e nikajhitumikila kanuni jha dhambi.
