Romans 6
1 What then shall we say? are we still to continue in sin that favour may abound?
Ha, kia pehea he korero ma tatou? Kia mau tonu oti tatou ki te hara, kia hua ai te aroha noa?
2 Far be it! we who have died unto sin, how, any longer, shall we live therein?
Kahore rapea. Ko tatou kua whakatupapakutia nei ki te hara, me pehea tatou e noho tonu atu ai ano i roto i taua hara?
3 Or know ye not that, we, as many as were immersed into Christ [Jesus], into his death were immersed?
Kahore ianei koutou i mohio, ko tatou kua iriiria nei ki roto ki a Karaiti Ihu, kua iriiria ki roto ki tona matenga?
4 We were, therefore, buried together with him through our immersion into his death, in order that—just as Christ was raised from among the dead through the glory of the Father, so, we also, in newness of life should walk.
Na kua tanumia ngatahitia tatou me ia ki roto ki te matenga, he mea na te iriiri: kia rite ai ki a te Karaiti i whakaarahia ake nei i te hunga mate e te kororia o te Matua, waihoki ko tatou kia haere i roto i te houtanga o te ora.
5 For, if we have come to be grown together in the likeness of his death, certainly, in that of his resurrection also, shall we be.
Ki te mea hoki kua honoa tatou ki a ia i runga i te ahua o tona matenga, ka honoa ano tatou ki a ia i runga i te ahua o tona aranga:
6 Of this taking note—that, our old man, was crucified together with him in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we should, no longer, be in servitude to sin;
E mohio ana hoki ki tenei, kua ripekatia ngatahitia me ia to tatou tangata tawhito, kia hemo ai te tinana o te hara, kia mutu ai to tatou ponongatanga ki te hara;
7 For, he that hath died, hath become righteously acquitted from his sin.
Ko te mea hoki kua mate, kua mawheto ia i te hara.
8 Now, if we have died together with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with him;
Ki te mea kua mate tahi tatou ko te Karaiti, e whakapono ana tatou e ora tahi ano tatou me ia:
9 Knowing that, Christ having been raised from among the dead, no more dieth, —death, over him, no more, hath lordship, —
E matau ana hoki tatou, ka ara nei a te Karaiti i te hunga mate, heoi ano ona matenga; kahore he kingitanga o te mate ki a ia a mua tonu atu.
10 For, in that he died, unto sin, died he once for all, but, in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Ko tona matenga hoki i mate ai ia, he mate kotahi ki te hara: ko tona oranga ia, he ora ki te Atua.
11 So, ye also, be reckoning yourselves to be—dead indeed unto sin, but, alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
Waihoki mahara iho ki a koutou, kua whakatupapakutia koutou ki te hara, e ora ana ia ki te Atua, i roto i a Ihu Karaiti.
12 Let not sin, therefore, reign in your death-doomed body, that ye should be obedient to its covetings;
Mo konei ra aua te hara e kingi i roto i to koutou tinana mate, e ngohengohe ai koutou ki ta nga hiahia poke o taua tinana nei:
13 Neither be presenting your members as weapons of unrighteousness unto sin, but present yourselves unto God as though alive from among the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness unto God;
Kaua hoki e tukua o koutou wahi ki te hara hei kaimahi i te he: engari tukua atu koutou ki te Atua, he hunga kua ora i roto i te hunga mate, me o koutou wahi hoki hei kaimahi i te tika ki te Atua.
14 For, sin, over you, shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under favour.
E kore hoki te hara e waiho hei rangatira mo koutou: ehara i te mea kei raro koutou i te ture, engari kei raro ke i te aroha noa.
15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law but under favour? Far be it!
He aha koia? kia hara oti tatou, no te mea ehara tatou i te ture, engari no te aroha noa? Kahore rapea.
16 Know ye not that, unto whom ye are presenting yourselves as servants for obedience, servants ye are unto [him unto] whom ye are obedient, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?
Kahore oti koutou i matau, ki te tuku koutou i a koutou ki tetahi hei pononga, he pononga koutou na tera kua ngohengohe na koutou ki tana; na te hara ranei, a mate iho, na te ngohengohe ranei, a tika ake?
17 But thanks be unto God, that—whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient out of the heart unto the mould of teaching into which ye were delivered;
Ko tenei me whakawhetai ki te Atua, ahakoa he pononga koutou na te hara i mua, kua meinga o koutou ngakau kia ngohengohe ki te ako i whakaakona ai koutou;
18 And, being freed from sin, ye were made servants unto righteousness; —
Na ka atea nei koutou i te hara, ka meinga koutou he pononga na te tika.
19 In human fashion am I speaking, because of the weakness of your flesh; —for, just as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and unto lawlessness [for lawlessness], so now, present ye your members as servants unto righteousness for sanctification.
He kupu tangata tenei naku, na te ngoikore o to koutou kikokiko: na i tukua ra o koutou wahi hei pononga ma te poke, ma te tutu, ki te mahi tutu; waihoki me tuku o koutou wahi aianei hei pononga ma te tika, puta ake he tapu.
20 For, when ye were servants of sin, ye were free as to righteousness; —
I a koutou hoki e pononga ana ki te hara, e atea ana koutou i te tika.
21 What fruit, therefore, had ye then—in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death.
Na i taua wa he aha nga hua i a koutou o nga mea e whakama na koutou inaianei? he mate hoki te mutunga o aua mea.
22 Whereas, now, having been freed from sin, and made servants unto God, ye have your fruit for sanctification and, the end, life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Tena ko tenei ka atea nei koutou i te hara, a ka meinga hei pononga ma te Atua, ko nga hua ki a koutou he tapu, a, ko te tukunga iho he ora tonu. (aiōnios g166)
