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 mutangite kwako, (kwa kuwa nikoya na babatangite seliya), kwa kuwa seliya itawala mundu yes bile mwomi?
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.
Mana ajwo nwawa jwakondeke atabilwe na seliya kwa another nchengowe mana abile nkoti, ili mene ayomwike mene awile, alowa panga mutabilwe ya seliya ya ndoa.
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.
Tumbwe kae, wakati about asengo babe babi aomi, mene itei atama na nalume jwembe akemelwa mmalaya. Ila mene abo asengo babe bawile, nai lusa kwa seliya, hapo apangali mmalaya, mene itei akonda kwa nnalume ywenge.
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.
kwa-nyo, mwalongo bango, mwapangilwe maiti kwa seliya kwa ndila ya yega ya Kirisitu. Ibile nyoo lenga mupale unganishwa na jwenge kwa ywembe jwa fufuliwe buka kiwo lenga tuweze ku-papya Nnongo matunda.
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.
Mana patwabile haya payiga nkati ya mwili, tamaa ya sambi yatijumukilwa muiungo yoti kwa ndila ya seliya na kwipapya maiti matunda.
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.
Ila saa yeno tuyong'olilwe buku mu seliya. Tuweli mulo hali yayatupingite. Lenga twenga tupate tumika mu hali yayambe ya Roho, nasi hali ya zamani ya andiko.
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."
Tulongele buli? seliya sambi? Ataa, Alanyo, mbele kwitangalii sambi, ila kwa ndela ya seliya. Kwa kuwa mbele tangalii tamaniya bila seliya ika kotoka baya, “Uneutamani”.
8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Lakini sambi yapatike nafasi kwa yelu amri ni takatifu ya haki na ukoto.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
Nanenga nabi na koti hapo zamani bila seliya, lakini payaichi yelu amri, sambi yapatike ngupu, na nenga nganawile.
10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
Yelo amri ye peleleta ukoto yatigalambuka yabi kiwo kasango.
11 for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Kwa mana sambi yapatike nafasi kwa yelu amri na yatigonga pitya mulo mu'amri yatimbulaga.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
Kumbe seliya takatifu, na yelo amri nembe takatifu, ya haki, na ukoto.
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.
Kumbe iyo ya ibele ya ukoto yabile ya kiwo kasango nenga kana ibe nyoo kabisa. Lakini sambi, yabonekine panga sambi hasa pitya kwa yalo njema, yaileta kiwo ngati yango. Ayee yabile pitya kwa yelo amri, sambi kene ya pange mbaya muno.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Mana tutangite panga seliya tubwa kwake ni ya mwoyo, lakini nenga na mundu wa payenga, mpemejilwe pa'e ya utumwa wa sambi.
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.
Mana lanilipanga nilitangite-lii kabisa, mana lelo lyanipendile kulipanga-kwako na lyanichukya, nganilipanga.
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
Lakini mana nilipangite lelo lyanikotwike kulipenda, seliya yenda kuniyeketya yo panga seliya ni nkoto.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Ila nenga lili nafsi yango yanipangalyo, ila yelo sambi yaitama nkati yango.
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.
Kwa Mana ndangite nkati yango, yani, nkati ya payenga yango, litama kwako likowe linanoga. kwa kuwa tamaniya kwa linanoga ibi kati yango, ila nipanga-lii.
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
Kwa maana lelo linanoga lyanilipendile nilipanga kwako, ila lelo libaya lyangotwike kulipenda ngalyo ndenda.
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.
Tubwe Mana kandenda lelo lyangotwike kulipenda si nenga kiyango nganipanga, kumbe yelo sambi yango yaitama nkati yango.
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Ndangite ibile haki ngati yango yaipala panga lyalibile lizuri, lakini ubaya ubile nkati yango.
22 For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
Mana Nenda kuipulaikya seliya ya Nnongo kwa mundu jwa nkati.
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.
Lakini mbona tofauti nkati ya viungo ya yega yango. Ingawa kwina ngonda juyo kanuni ya yambi na mulunda lyango.
24 What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Need na mundu wene uruma! nyai jwaweza kunilopwa yega ya kiwo?
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.
Lakini ni shukuru Nnongo na Yesu Kirisitu Nngwana witu! Nga-nyo. Nenga na mwene kwa akili yango nitumikiya seliya ya Nnongo. Ila kwa yenga nitumikiya kanuni ya sambi.
