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?
Valongo vangu, mmanyili chakaka genijova, muni nijova na vandu vevamanyili Malagizu. Malagizu yikumtalalila mundu peivya mumi.
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.
Luhumu, mdala peigegewa ikungwa, ikungiwa na mhilu lukumbi lwoha mgosi waki peivya mumi, nambu mgosi waki peifwa, ndi mdala mwenuyo ikungiwa lepi na Malagizu ga kugegana.
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.
Ndi mdala mwenuyo akatama na mgosi yungi lukumbi mgosi waki akona mumi, mdala mweneuyo yati ikemelewa mkemi. Nambu ngati mgosi waki afwili, mdala mwenuyo ikungiwa lepi na Malagizu, hati akagegewayi na mgosi yungi, mdala mwenuyo ivya lepi mkemi.
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.
Mewawa valongo vangu, muvi lepi pahi ya Malagizu muni muwungini na higa yeniyi mana yaki ya Kilisitu peafwili na nyenye mwafwili pamonga nayu, hinu muvi vandu vaki mwenuyo mweayukiswi kuhuma lifwa, ndi timuhengela gabwina Chapanga.
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.
Muni, patatamili mukulongoswa na mnogo uhakau wemwavelekiwi nawu, mnogo wenuwo wakohakiwi na malagizu, zakitili lihengu muhiga yitu, na goha getahengili gamalakili mu lifwa.
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.
Nambu hinu tilekekiswi kuhuma mu Malagizu gegatikungili ngati vavanda ndava tafwili pamonga na Kilisitu. Ndi timuhengela lihengu Chapanga mu njila ya mupya ya Mpungu Msopi lepi mu njila ya kadeni ya Malagizu gegayandikwi.
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."
Hinu tijova wuli? Wu, Malagizu ndi kumbudila Chapanga? Hati padebe! Nambu changali Malagizu, nene nganimanyi lepi kumbudila chapanga ndi chindu kiki. Muni Malagizu pegajovili “Ukoto kunogela, chindu cha muyaku,” Nganimanyi lepi kunogela ndi uhakau.
8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Mu kuhengela Mihilu yeniyo, kumbudila Chapanga kupata fwasi ya kuyimusa mnogelu uhakau wowoha mugati yangu. Muni, changali Malagizu kubuda kufwili.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
Kadeni navili mumi changa mihilu nambu malagizu pagabwelili, kumbudila Chapanga kwatumbwili kuhenga lihengu muwumi wangu na nene navi ngati nifwili,
10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
Mihilu yeniyo yaganikiwi kuleta wumi, nambu kwa nene galetili lifwa.
11 for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Muni kubuda kwapatili fwasi kwa mbesu wenuwo yanikongili na kunikoma.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
Hinu, Malagizu ga Musa ndi gamsopi, na mihilu ya msopi, gakumganisa Chapanga na yabwina.
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.
Wu, chindu chabwina chiniletili lifwa langu? Hati padebe! Yahengiki chenicho, muni kumbudila chapanga, yimanyikana ngati kumbudila Chapanga, mu njila ya ubwina yeyikuniletela lifwa langu. Hinu kumbudila Chapanga mu njila ya Malagizu galangisi kuvya chindu chihakau neju.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Timanyili kuvya Malagizu ndi ga Chimpungu, nambu nene namundu wa chimpungu lepi, nene niguliswi ngati mvanda mu kumbudila Chapanga.
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.
Nimanyili lepi chenikita, muni gala genigana kukita, nikita lepi, nambu gala genikugahakali ndi genikugakita.
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
Nikahengayi gala genikugagana lepi kuhenga, yeniyi yilangisa kuvya niyidakila Malagizu gabwina.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Hinu, lepi namwene mwenikita chindu chenichi, nambu kumbudila Chapanga kwekutama mugati yangu.
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.
Nimanyili kuvya kawaka chabwina chochoha mugati yangu, mu mnogo wangu uhakau wenivelekiwi nawu. Ndava muni, nigana kukita gabwina nambu nihotola lepi.
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
Ndava muni, nikita lepi labwina lila lenigana, nambu nikita gala gahakau nangagana.
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.
Ngati nikita gala genigana lepi kukita, yeniyi yilangisa kuvya nene lepi mwenikita ago ndi kubuda kwekuvili mugati yangu ndi kukita genago.
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Hinu, niliwene lijambu lenili lihenga lihengu mugati yangu, penigana kukita gabwina, nambu nikujikolela lihakau ndi lenihagula kukita.
22 For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
Mugati mwa mtima wangu nihekelela Malagizu ga Chapanga.
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.
Nambu nilola kuvya Malagizu wungi ukita lihengu muhiga yangu, mhilu weulekengana na wula weuyidikiwa na luhala lwangu. Muhilu weunikita nivyayi mkungiwa wa malagizu ga kubuda kwekukita lihengu muhiga yangu.
24 What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Namuyinu nene! Yani mweakunisangula kuhuma mulifwa lwenipelekwa na higa yeniyi?
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.
Sengusa kwa Chapanga mweakunigombola munjila ya Yesu Kilisitu BAMBU witu! Chenichi ndi chenivili, namwene, kwa luhala lwangu namvanda wa Malagizu ga Chapanga, nambu kwa mnogo uhakau wenivelekiwi nawu ya kumbudila Chapanga.
