Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Let us continue in sin, that grace may abound still more?
Boye, toloba nini? Tosalaka na biso masumu mpo ete ngolu efuluka koleka?
2 God forbid! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer in it?
Soki moke te! Biso oyo tosila kokufa mpo na lisumu, ndenge nini tozongela lisusu kotambola kati na masumu?
3 Are ye ignorant, that all of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
Boni, boyebi te ete biso nyonso oyo tosila kobatisama kati na Yesu-Klisto tozwaki nde libatisi kati na kufa na Ye?
4 We then by this baptism into his death were buried with him; that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Bakundaki biso elongo na Ye na nzela ya libatisi kati na kufa na Ye mpo ete, lokola Klisto asekwaki kati na bakufi na nzela ya nkembo ya Tata, biso mpe totambola na bomoi ya sika.
5 For if we have been made completely like him in his death, we shall be made like him in his resurrection also;
Pamba te soki tosanganaki elongo na Ye kati na kufa na Ye, solo tokosangana mpe elongo na Ye kati na lisekwa na Ye.
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin;
Pamba te toyebi malamu ete bomoto ya kala ebakamaki na ekulusu elongo na Klisto mpo ete nzoto na biso lokola esalelo ya lisumu ekufa mpe tozala lisusu bawumbu ya lisumu te.
7 for he that hath died hath been set free from sin.
Moto nyonso oyo asilaki kokufa atangamaki lokola moto ya sembo: azali lisusu te na se ya bokonzi ya lisumu.
8 And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
Nzokande, lokola tosila kokufa elongo na Klisto, tozali kondima ete tokozala mpe na bomoi elongo na Ye.
9 since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer.
Pamba te toyebi malamu ete Klisto oyo asekwaki kati na bakufi akokufa lisusu te; kufa ezali lisusu na bokonzi te likolo na Ye.
10 For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.
Akufaki mpo na lisumu mbala moko mpo na libela; kasi sik’oyo azali na bomoi, mpe azali na bomoi mpo na Nzambe.
11 Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.
Boye bino mpe, bomimona lokola bakufi mpo na lisumu, kasi lokola bato ya bomoi mpo na Nzambe kati na Yesu-Klisto.
12 Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,
Yango wana, tika ete lisumu ezala lisusu na bokonzi te kati na banzoto na bino, oyo ekokufa; mpe bosengeli lisusu te kotosa baposa na yango ya mabe.
13 nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
Bokaba biteni ya banzoto na bino te na lisumu lokola bisalelo mpo na mabe, kasi bomikaba bino moko epai na Nzambe lokola bato oyo basekwa kati na bakufi mpe bazali na bomoi; mpe bokabela Ye biteni ya banzoto na bino lokola bisalelo mpo na bosembo.
14 For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.
Pamba te lisumu ekozala lisusu na bokonzi te likolo na bino, pamba te bozali lisusu na se ya bokonzi ya Mobeko te, kasi na se ya ngolu.
15 What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid!
Boye toloba nini? Tokoba kosala masumu mpo ete tozali na se ya bokonzi ya Mobeko te kasi na se ya ngolu? Soki moke te!
16 Know ye not, that whomever ye choose to obey as a master, his bondmen ye are, whether of sin whose fruit is death, or of obedience whose fruit is righteousness?
Boni, boyebi te ete soki bomikabi epai ya moto lokola bawumbu mpo na kotosa ye bokomi nde bawumbu ya moto oyo bozali kotosa to bawumbu ya lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa to bawumbu ya botosi oyo ememaka na bosembo?
17 But thanks be to God that, though ye were the bondmen of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching which was delivered to you;
Kasi tika ete tozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe! Soki na kala bozalaki bawumbu ya lisumu, kasi sik’oyo bokomi kotosa na motema mobimba mateya oyo bateyaki bino,
18 and being made free from sin, ye became the bondmen of righteousness.
bosili kokangolama na bowumbu ya lisumu mpe bokomi bawumbu ya bosembo.
19 I speak in a way common among men on account of the weakness of your flesh. For as ye once yielded your members as slaves to impurity and to iniquity, in order to commit iniquity, so now yield your members as bondmen to righteousness in order to become holy.
Nazali koloba awa lokola moto mpo na bolembu na bino ya bomoto. Ndenge na kala, bokabaki biteni ya banzoto na bino na bowumbu ya misala ya mbindo mpe ya mabe mpo na kosala mabe, ndenge wana mpe bokaba yango sik’oyo na bowumbu ya bosembo mpo na kotambola na bomoi ya bosantu.
20 For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were not the bondmen of righteousness.
Tango bozalaki nanu bawumbu ya lisumu, bozalaki na bonsomi liboso ya bosembo.
21 What fruit then had ye at that time from those things of which ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
Nzokande, litomba nini bozwaki na tango wana oyo bozalaki kosala makambo oyo ezali koyokisa bino lelo soni, pamba te ememaka na kufa?
22 But now having been delivered from the slavery of sin, and having become the bondservants of God, ye have holiness as the fruit, and everlasting life as the end. (aiōnios g166)
Kasi awa bolongwe sik’oyo na se ya bowumbu ya lisumu mpe bokomi na se ya bowumbu ya Nzambe, litomba oyo bozwi ezali bomoi ya bosantu, mpe suka na yango ezali bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
