Romans 6
1 What should we say then? Should we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, tũkiuge atĩa? Nĩ tũtũũre o twĩhagia nĩgeetha wega wa Ngai ũingĩhage?
2 Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
Hĩ! Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Ithuĩ-rĩ, nĩtwakuire ũhoro-inĩ wa wĩhia; twakĩhota atĩa gũcooka gũtũũra thĩinĩ waguo?
3 Or do you not know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ ithuĩ othe arĩa twabatithirio thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ twabatithirio thĩinĩ wa gĩkuũ gĩake?
4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, twabatithio nĩgũthikwo twathikirwo hamwe nake gĩkuũ-inĩ gĩake, nĩgeetha o ta ũrĩa Kristũ aariũkirio kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ nĩ hinya wa riiri wa Ithe, o na ithuĩ tũtũũre na mũtũũrĩre mwerũ.
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
Angĩkorwo nĩtũnyiitithanĩtio nake ũguo thĩinĩ wa gĩkuũ gĩake-rĩ, hatirĩ nganja nĩtũkanyiitithanio nake thĩinĩ wa kũriũka gwake.
6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩtũũĩ atĩ mũndũ witũ wa tene nĩambirwo hamwe nake nĩgeetha mwĩrĩ ũyũ wa mehia weherio, nĩguo tũtikanacooke gũtuĩka ngombo cia mehia,
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
tondũ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrĩkĩtie gũkua nĩatigithanĩtio na mehia.
8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;
Na rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo nĩtwakuire hamwe na Kristũ-rĩ, nĩtwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ nĩtũgatũũra muoyo hamwe nake.
9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩtũũĩ atĩ tondũ Kristũ nĩariũkirio akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaacooka gũkua; gĩkuũ gĩtirĩ na hinya wa kũmwatha rĩngĩ.
10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
Gĩkuũ kĩrĩa aakuire, aakuĩrĩire ũhoro wa mehia o riita rĩmwe rĩa kũigana; no muoyo ũrĩa atũũraga-rĩ, atũũraga nĩ ũndũ wa riiri wa Ngai.
11 In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
O na inyuĩ, o ũndũ ũmwe mwĩonagei atĩ nĩmũkuĩte ũhoro-inĩ wa mehia, na atĩ mũtũũraga muoyo mũrĩ ngwatanĩro na Ngai thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Tondũ ũcio, mũtikanareke mehia mathamakage thĩinĩ wa mĩĩrĩ yanyu ĩyo ĩkuaga, atĩ nĩguo mwathĩkagĩre merirĩria mooru mayo.
13 Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
Ningĩ mũtikananeane ciĩga cia mĩĩrĩ yanyu mehia-inĩ, atĩ nĩguo ituĩke ta indo cia kũhũthĩrwo cia kwagana nacio, no nĩ kaba mwĩheanage kũrĩ Ngai, mũhaana ta andũ marutĩtwo gĩkuũ-inĩ makarehwo muoyo-inĩ na mũneanage ciĩga icio cia mĩĩrĩ yanyu kũrĩ we nĩguo ituĩke ta indo cia kũhũthĩrwo na gwĩka maũndũ ma ũthingu.
14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
Mũtigatuĩke a gwathagwo nĩ mehia, tondũ inyuĩ mũtirĩ agũthamakagĩrwo nĩ watho, no mũrĩ agũthamakagĩrwo nĩ wega wa Ngai.
15 What then? Should we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Absolutely not.
Tũkiuge atĩa? Kuona atĩ tũtirĩ rungu rwa watho no tũrĩ rungu rwa wega wa Ngai-rĩ, nĩtũtũũre twĩhagia? Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!
16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ rĩrĩa mweheana kũrĩ mũndũ nĩguo mũtuĩke ngombo mũmwathĩkagĩre-rĩ, inyuĩ mũkĩrĩ o ngombo cia ũcio mwathĩkagĩra: mũrĩ ngombo cia mehia marĩa merekagĩria mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ, kana mũrĩ ngombo cia wathĩki ũrĩa ũrehaga ũthingu?
17 But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
No Ngai arocookerio ngaatho, tondũ o na gũtuĩka inyuĩ mwarĩ ngombo cia mehia-rĩ, rĩu nĩmwathĩkĩire na ngoro yothe ũrutani ũrĩa mwehokeirwo.
18 Being made free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
Inyuĩ nĩmũrĩkĩtie kuohorwo mũkoima mehia-inĩ, mũgacooka gũtuĩka ngombo cia ũthingu.
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.
Ndĩraaria ũhoro ũyũ ngĩũgerekanagia na maũndũ ma andũ tondũ inyuĩ nĩmwagĩte hinya mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wanyu wa ndũire. O ta ũrĩa mwatũire mũneanaga ciĩga cianyu cia mĩĩrĩ ituĩke ngombo kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa matarĩ ma ũtheru o na ma waganu ũrĩa ũtũire wongererekaga-rĩ, rĩu kĩneanei ciĩga cianyu ituĩke ngombo cia ũthingu nĩguo mũgaatuĩka andũ atheru.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
Rĩrĩa mwarĩ ngombo cia mehia-rĩ, mũtiathagwo nĩ ũthingu.
21 What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo muonaga uumithio ũrĩkũ kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa matũmaga rĩu mũconoke? Maũndũ macio marigĩrĩrio-inĩ marehaga gĩkuũ!
22 But now, being made free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
No rĩu tondũ nĩmwohoretwo mũkoima mehia-inĩ na mũgatuĩka ngombo cia Ngai-rĩ, uumithio ũrĩa muonaga ũmwerekagĩria ũtheru-inĩ, na maciaro maguo nĩ muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
