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?
Laa boani yi n kpiiba, n maadi leni ya niba n bani li balimaama fuuli. Li balimaama die o nilo ŋali wan ye ya yogunu kuli.
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.
Li tie nani li balimaama n loli o pua leni o calo ŋali on calo miali banlu kuli maama. Ama o joa ya kpe, o pua yeni faabi leni ya balimaama n luo o yeni.
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.
Lanwani o ya kuni joatoa ke o calo da ye, bi baa yi o li poconconli. Ama o calo ya kpe ya kpe, o pua yeni faabi leni libalimaama yeni, o ya kuni joatoa waa tie poconconli.
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.
N kpiiba, li tie yenma yi moko yaa po. Kelima Kilisiti kuuma o gbannandi nni ya po, yi kpe yaala n tie li balimaama po. Moala nitoa n ji die yi, lani n tie Kilisiti u TIENU n den fiini yua bi tinkpiba siiga, ke tin ya tiendi yaala n pia mayuli u TIENU po.
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.
Li nisaali yantiali n den die ti ya yogunu, li balimaama den fiini li bonbuakabiala ti gbannanbuoli kuli nni, ki teni ke ti luoni ya bonluonkaala n tie mi kuuma po.
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.
Ama moala, ti faabi leni li balimaama kelima ti kpoe ki paadi leni yaala n den kpa luo ti nani a sugida yeni. Lani yaa po u TIENU fuoma gobidi ti ke tin ya tuuni u TIENU po leni yantiapanli ke laa go taa leni tin den moandi ki baa ŋoadi yaala n diani li balimaama nni maama.
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."
Lanwani ti ba yedi lede? li balimaama tie tuonbiadi bii? yeni ka, n kan den bandi ti tuonbiadi ntie yaal kali li balimaama n den waani nni. n kan den faami ke li nunponbiadili tie tagili li yaa tie ke li balimaama den yedi: ŋan da pia li nunponbiadili.
8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
ti tuonbiadi den ba u sanu kelima li balimaama po ki fiini li nunponli buoli kuli n pali nni, kelima li balimaam ya ki ye, ti tuonbiadi kpe.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
Mini ya po, min ke den pia li balimaama ya yogunu n den ye ki fo ama li balimaama n den cua ti tuonbiadi den faadi, ke n mo kpe.
10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
yeni li balimaama yaama n den baa cuani nli miali n den cuani n po mi kuuma.
11 for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Ti tuonbiadi den ba u sanu kelima li balimaama po ki boandinni ki kpa nni.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
baa yeni li balimaama gagidi ki ŋani, mi mabilikaama moko gagidi ki ŋani ki tiegi ki go pia mayuli.
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.
Naani yaali n pia mayuli yeni n teni ke kpe bii? kalam. ti tuonbiadi den tieni la, ki ta li balimaama yaami n pia mayuli ki kpa nni. lanwani kelima li balimaama ya po li doagidi ti tuonbiadi n bia ke li pendi maama.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
ti bani ke li balimaama ǹani u TIENU kani. Ama mini wani ytie nisaalo ki ŋua n gbannandi nbua yaala, ki tie nani bi kuadi nni ti tuobiadi po yeni.
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.
Mii bani kuli min tiendi yaala, kelima mii tiendi min bua ki ya tiendi yaala, ama n tiendi min nani yaala.
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
N yaa tiendi min ki bua ki yaa tiendi yaala yeni n tuo ke li balimaama ŋani.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Lanwani laa go tie mini n ba ka tiendi yeni, Ama li tie ti tuonbiadi yaadi n ye n ni nni n tiendi la.
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.
n bani ke yaala n ŋani ki ye n nii nni ba waamu, lani n tie min tie nisaalo maama po. N bua ki tieni yaala n ŋani, ama mii pia li fidu.
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
Mii tiendi min bua ki ya tiendi ya bonŋanla, ama n tiendi mi biadima min ki bua ki ya tiendi yaama.
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.
N yaa tiendi min ki bua ki tieni yaala, laa go tie mini ka tiendi la, li tie ti tuobiadi yaadi n ye n nii nni n tiendi la.
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
N la ke ya bali n tie na miabi nni, n ya bua ki tieni yaali n ŋani. Ti tuonbiadi tabini nni.
22 For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
N pali tugu nni u TIENU balimaama mani n po.
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.
Ama n go laa batoali n gbannanbuoli nni, yaali n moa lenin yantiali ya baliki teni ke n tua ti tuonbiadi bali yaali n tuuni n gbannanbuoli nni ya kadibiga.
24 What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Fala ye leni nni boncianla. ŋmee ba faabi nni leni n gbannandi yaadi n caani nni mi kuuma nni?
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.
n tuondi u TIENU, kelima ti Diedo JESU Kilisiti po. Lanwani mini n baa n yantiali nni, n tuo ki ŋua u TIENU balimaama, ama n gbannandi nni n ŋua ti tuonbiadi ya bali.
