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?
O ry longo, (ie itaroñako o mahafohiñe Hake) nofi’ areo hao te fehè’ i Hake t’indaty t’ie mbe veloñe?
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.
Fa ampifetrehe’ i Hake amy vali’ey ty rakemba naho mbe veloñe i rangahey, ie mihomake indatiy, le votsotse amy Hake mamahotse aze amy vali’eiy.
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.
Aa naho anakeza’ ondaty ty rakemba manam-baly le atao t’ie tsy vokatse. Fe naho mihomake i vali’ey, le haha amy Hake re, vaho tsy karapilo t’ie engae’ ondaty.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bear fruit to God.
Ie amy zao ry longo, ty Fañòva’ i Norizañeiy ty nivetraha’ areo amy Hake, hireketa’ areo ami’ty hafa, amy nampitroareñe amy havilasiy, hamokaran-tika ho an’ Andrianañahare.
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.
Itika tamy nofotsey, le nitoloñe an-tsandriñe ao o draon-kakeo nisigihe’ i Hake hamokara’e fihomahañeo.
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 Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
F’ie votsots’ amy Hake henaneo, nivetrake amy namahotsey, hitoroñe ami’ty nañavaoe’ i Arofoy fa tsy am-pimanemanean-tsokitse hambo’e.
7 What should 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, "Do not covet."
Aa le inoñe ty ho asan-tikañe? Hakeo hao t’i Hake? Sondo’e! Fa tsy ho napotako ty atao tahiñe naho tsy t’i Hake, le tsy ho nihaiko ze atao fitsikirihañe naho tsy nafè’ i Hake ty hoe, Ko mihàñe.
8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
I tahiñey, ie nampahazoa’ i liliy lalañe, nitrobo ze atao fikirañañe amako, fa naho tsy eo Hake, tsy eo tahiñe.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
Niveloñe hey iraho taolo t’ie tsy aman-Kake; fe niavy i liliy, le nibodan-ko veloñe o tahiñeo vaho nikenkan-draho;
10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
i fañè ho ninday haveloñey, te mone namono ahy.
11 for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
I hakeoy, ie nampahazoa’ i liliy lalañe, namañahy ahy, vaho ie ty namono ahy.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
Aa le Masiñe t’i Hake, le miavake naho vantañe vaho soa o lilio.
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.
Aa vaho fihomahañe amako hao i soay? Sondo’e! Fa i tahiñey, hampiborahañe ty hakeo, nitoloñe fihomahañe amako amy soay, hampidodea’ i Hake ty halo-tsere’ o tahiñeo.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Fohintika te añ’arofo t’i Hake, f’ie ama’ nofotse naletake hondevon-kakeo.
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.
Tsy apotako o anoekoo; le tsy anoeko o satrikoo, te mone i hejekoy ty anoeko.
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
Aa naho anoeko i tsy satrikoy, le iantofako te soa t’i Hake.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Ie henaneo tsy izaho ty manao, fa ty hakeo mitoboke an-troko ato.
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.
Apotako te tsy imoneñan-kasoa ty nofoko toy. Toe amam-pisalalan-draho, fe tsy tafete’e ty fanoan-tsoa.
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
I soa satrieko hanoeñey tsy anoeko, fe i raty hejekoy ty toloñako.
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.
Aa naho anoeko i raha hejekoy, le tsy izaho ty mitoloñe, fa o tahiñe mitsotsefotse amakoo.
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Treako amy zao ty lily toy, t’ie manitra hanao soa, amako ty raty.
22 For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
Toe iantofako an-kafalean-troke i Han’ Añaharey;
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.
fe mahatrea hake hafa am-pangefangen-tsandriko ato mifandraparapake amy Hake am-pitsakoreako atoañey mandrohy ahy amy ha’ o tahiñe am-pangefangekooy.
24 What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Hete, ondaty mavoin-draho! Ia ty hañaha ahy ami’ty sandrim-pihomahañe toy?
25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
Andriañeko t’i Andrianañahare añamy Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey. Ie amy zao mitoroñe i Han’ Añaharey iraho an-troke ao, naho i ha’ o tahiñeoy ami’ty sandriko hambo’e toy.
