Romans 7
1 Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person for as long as he lives?
Au samulumanyile, valokolo lwango (olwakhuva nijova na vanu avalumanyile urulagero), khukhuta urulagero lukhundo ngoja umunu vobado inkafu?
2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
Olwakhuva udala avatoliwe akungiwe nululagelo khwa gosi va mwene, vunkafu mave ogosi va mwene ifiwa iva avikhilwe ukhuva mwavukhe ukhukhuma na nurulagero lwa khutolana.
3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she is called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
Nevetwita, osekhe ugosi va mwene witama, inave nogosi uyunge, ikhelangiwa indigu, inave ogosi va mwene afwele, iva mwuvukhe nululagero, evo siva ndigu angave itama nu gosi uyunge.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Meshikha, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bear fruit to God.
Ulwakhuva, valokolo lwango, umwe mwavombiwe ukhuva wafwe nurulagero khu njila iya Klisite. Evilendete uhutama pupaninie nu ninoo, khu mwene uyakhanchukhile ukhukhuma khu vufwe ili tuwesye ukhung'olela u Nguluve isekhe.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit for death.
Ulwakhuva vutukhale pa hali iyambele, uvunogwe uwambivi fikhasi simwile ifikhancho fweto khunjila iya lugalero nukhu vuholela uvufwe isekhe.
6 But now we have been released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of the Rukha, and not in oldness of the letter.
Ulwakhuva tudenduliwe ukhukhuma mu rulagelo. Tuyefwelile iyekhube jekhana. Ili tuvoese ukhuvombekhe uvupya mwa mepo, nufwe uwahatale uwa vusimbe.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."
Tutekhekhi? ululagero ulwa mbivi? La hasha. Inave evoo, sananikhulumanya imbivi, waleusite ukhuva munjila iya lulagero. ulwakhuva sananikhulumanya ukhuno gwa inave ululagero salwalwinchoova, “Olekhe okhonogwa.”
8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Olwakhova imbivi nchapeviwe indagero nu khuleta igati indyu ne khela namna iya khunogwa. Ulwakhuva imbivi khesita rulagelo nchifwile.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
Nayune nale mwumi pavulongonchi uwa ndagero, upuyainchilem dagero, imbivi nchapewiwe uwumi, one nafwe.
10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
Ululagero ululwale lwa khukhu khelekhela uwumi lwapendwi khe ukhuva vufwe khulwune.
11 for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Ulwakhuva imbivi nchapeviwe akhavalelo pa lulagero ulwa vudesi. Ukhugendela ululagero, nafwile.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
Leno ululagero luvalanche, ulwakhuva indagero nchivalanchiwe, yalweli nu vusalaama.
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
Ulwa khuva iyiyale nonu khulwune wale vufwe khulwune? Isite ukhuva eve mwee. Ulwakhuva imbivi, ili yevonekhe ukhuta mbivivi yinogiwa yegendele munonu, yevekhu uwufu igati ndyune. Yale ukhugendela ululagero imbivi nchikhwendelela ukhuva sinchoo.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Ulwa khuva tulumanyile ukhuta imbivi nchikhuma nukhutengulile munumbula ulwakhuva one nelemunu va mbele. Nigonchiwe pasi pa vulongonchi mwambivi.
15 For I do not know what I am doing. For I do not practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
Ulwakhuva ilenivomba, sanikhweliwa liwa hoeli. Ulwakhuva eleninogwa ukhuvomba, sanivomba, na ele elekalalile, lwuelyo elenivomba.
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
Ulwakhuva nengavombe elesani nogwa, nikhwedekhana nululagero ukhuta ululagero lunonu.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Ulwakhuva sio nene ne nikhogo avombela ago, ulwakhuva nchu mbivi inchinchilekhulwune igati.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For the desire is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
Ulwa khuva nelumanyile ukhuta igati ndyune, ila sanikhule vombela.
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
Ulwakhuva elinonu eleninogwa soni khulevombela, ila elivivi ele saninogwa lwunikhulevombela.
20 But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Leno kama nivomba elesanino gwa, sinene yune nikhulevomba, ulwakhuva yu yila embivi iyeyitama igati ndyune.
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Nelumanyile, mwele indagero igati ndyune iyakhunogwa ukhuvomba amanonu, ulwakhuva uvovivi nuvule igati ndyunee.
22 For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
Ulwakhuva nikhurukhovokhela ululagero ulwa Nguluve igati ndyune.
23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
Ulwakhuva nivona imbinu inchiilivonge muvikhanjo ifya mbele ugwango. Yietova hubancha embombe enya eyahekhara lwango. Yikhumbikha une neledovwava mbivi inchili vikhancho ifyambele gwango.
24 What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Une nele munu va lukuto! veve ni uyaha ikhonyokhora nu mbile ogu ugwa vufwe?
25 Thanks be to God through Yeshua Meshikha, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
Inave ukhu mwale khwa Nguluve nu Yesu Klisite umbaha vetu! Leno. One nemwene nulukhala lwango nikho lovombela ululagelo ulwa Nguluve. Pakhuva, khumbile nikhunchivombela embombo imbivi.
