Romans 7
1 Or are ye ignorant, brethren, —for unto them that understand the law am I speaking, that, the law, hath lordship over a men as long as he liveth?
Achalongo achinjangu, sambano ngukunguluka ni ŵandu ŵakugamanyilila Malajisyo. Ngankumanyilila kuti lilajisyo likuntawala mundu aŵaga jwanjumi?
2 For, the married woman, unto her living husband is bound by law; but, if her husband have died, she hath received a full release from the law of her husband.
Tujile jwankongwe jwalombekwe ataŵikwe ni lilajisyo mu utame wakwe ni ŵankwakwe, ŵankwakwe aŵaga jwanjumi. Nambo ajasikaga ŵankwakwe, jwankongwe jo chaaŵe jwangataŵikwa ni lilajisyo lya ulombela.
3 Hence then, her husband being alive, an adulteress, shall she be called—if she become another man’s, but, if the husband have died, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she become another man’s.
Nipele, iŵaga chalombekwe ni jwannume jwine ŵankwakwe ali jwanjumi, jwankongwe jo chaŵilanjikwe jwa chikululu. Nambo ajasikaga ŵankwakwe, jwankongwe jo nganataŵikwa ni malajisyo, ni iŵaga akulombekwa ni jwannume jwine, jwelejo nganaŵa jwa chikululu.
4 So, then, my brethren, ye also, were made dead unto the law through the body of the Christ, to the end ye might become another’s—his who from among the dead was raised, in order that we might bring forth fruit unto God.
Achalongo achinjangu, iyoyo peyo ŵanyamwe nganimma paasi pa Malajisyo, pakuŵa mwalumbikene ni chiilu cha Kilisito ni malumbo gakwe gali yele, Kilisito paŵawile ni ŵanyamwe mwawile pamo nawo. Sambano nli ŵakwe ŵelewo ŵaŵasyuchile kuti mwatumichile chambone Akunnungu.
5 For, when we were in the flesh, the susceptibilities of sins which were through the law, used to be energized in our members unto the bringing forth of fruit unto death;
Pakuŵa patwatemi nkulongoswa ni tama syangalumbana sitwapagwile nasyo, tama sisyaliji nkuchiswa ni malajisyo, syapanganyisye masengo mu iilu yetu ni yose itwatendaga yamalile mu chiwa.
6 But, now, we have received full release from the law, by dying [in that] wherein we used to be held fast, so that we should be doing service—in newness of spirit and not in obsoleteness of letter.
Nambo sambano tulechelelwe kutyochela mu Malajisyo gagatutaŵile nti ŵakutaŵikwa, pakuŵa twawile pamo ni Kilisito. Sambano tukwatumichila Akunnungu mu umi wa sambano wa Mbumu, ngaŵa nti kalakala kwa Malajisyo gagalembekwe.
7 What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? Far be it! On the contrary, I had not discovered, sin, save through law, for even, of coveting, I had not been aware if, the law, had not kept on saying—Thou shall not covet;
Nipele, ana tujileje uli? Malajisyo gali sambi? Ngwamba! Nambo pangali Malajisyo ngangasimanyilile sambi sili chichi. Pakuŵa ngangaimanye kuti kulajila kuli kuleŵa, iŵaga Malajisyo ngagakasale, “Kasinlajila.”
8 Howbeit sin taking, occasion—through the commandment, wrought out in me all manner of coveting; for, apart from law, sin is dead; —
Nambo kutyochela ni makanyo go, sambi syapatile lipesa lya kwimusya tama jangalumbana jajili mwa uneji. Pakuŵa pangali Malajisyo sambi sili chindu chewe.
9 And, I, was alive, apart from law, at one time, but, the commandment coming, sin sprang up to life,
Kundanda ko naliji jwanjumi pangagamanyilila Malajisyo, nambo pagaiche makanyo, sambi syajenele mu utame wangu, noneji naliji mpela jwammwe.
10 Whereas, I, died, —and the commandment which was unto life was found by me to be, itself, unto death;
Ni naiweni kuti makanyo gagasachilwe kunyigalila umi, kwaune ganyigalile chiwa.
11 For, sin, —taking occasion—through the commandment, completely deceived me and, through it, slew me:
Pakuŵa sambi syapatile lipesa kwa litala lya makanyo galagala, syanambwisye ni kumulaga.
12 So that, the law, indeed, is holy, and the commandment, holy, and righteous and good.
Nipele Malajisyo gali gamaswela ni makanyo nombe nago gali gamaswela ni gakwanonyelesya Akunnungu ni gali gambone.
13 Did, then, that which is good, unto me become death? Far be it! But [it was] sin, that it might appear sin, through that which was good unto me working out death, in order that, exceeding sinful, might sin become through the commandment.
Ana ni kuti chelecho chichaliji chambone chinyichisye chiwa? Ngwamba. Nambo sambi, pakuti siwoneche kuti sili sambi sisyene, sitesile achila chambone chinyichisye chiwa. Kwayele sambi kwa litala lya Makanyo syalosisye pangasisika sambi syasitite kuŵa syangalumbana kwannope.
14 For we know that, the law, is spiritual, —I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin;
Tukumanyilila kuti Malajisyo gali nkati indu ya chimbumu ni une nganiŵa mundu jwachimbumu, jusumichikwe nti kapolo mu sambi.
15 For, that which I am working out, I do not approve, —for not, what I wish, the same I practise, but, what I hate, the same I do:
Pakuŵa nganguchimanyilila chinguchitenda, ligongo achila chinguchisaka nganguchitenda nambo achila chinganguchisaka kuchitenda chelecho ni chinguchitenda.
16 Now, if what I wish not the same I do, I consent unto the law that [it is] right.
Nipele, iŵaga nguchitenda achila chinganguchisaka kuchitenda, ngwitichisya kuti Malajisyo gala gali gambone.
17 Now, however, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me:
Nipele nganima une nansyene junguchitenda chelecho, nambo asila sambi syasikutama mwangu une.
18 I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not!
Ngumanyilila kuti nkati mwangu une, malumbo gakwe mu chiilu changu cha sambi ngachikutaama chindu chambone. Ligongo namuno ngusaka kuchitenda chambone ngangukombola.
19 For not, the good that I wish, I do, but, the evil that I do not wish, the same I practise.
Pakuŵa chambone chinguchisaka nganguchitenda, nambo changalumbana chinganguchisaka kuchitenda, chelecho ni chinguchitenda.
20 Now, if what I wish not, the same, I do, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me.
Nipele, iŵaga nguchitenda achila chinganguchisaka kuchitenda, nganima une junguchitenda, nambo asila sambi syasikutama nkati mwangu ni syasikuchitenda chelecho.
21 Hence, I find the law, to me who wish to be doing the right, that, unto me, the wrong lieth near:
Nipele, nachiweni chindu chi chikupanganya masengo nkati mwangu, pakuŵa pangusaka kuchitendekanya chambone, kutenda ungalumbana ni unguusagula.
22 I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man.
Pakuŵa mu ntima mwangu ngugasengwela Malajisyo ga Akunnungu.
23 But I behold a diverse law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive in the law of sin which existeth in my members: —
Nambo ngugaona malajisyo gane mu chiilu changu gachimenyanaga ni ng'anisyo syangu. Ni gelego gakundendekasya meje jwantaŵikwe ni malajisyo ga sambi syasikupanganya masengo mu chiilu mwangu.
24 Wretched, man am, I! Who shall rescue me out of this body doomed to death?
Kulaga kwangu une! Ana ŵaani ŵachangulupusye ndyoche mu chiilu chachikunongosya mu chiwa?
25 [But] thanks be unto God!—Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Hence, then, —I myself, with the mind, indeed, am in servitude unto a law of God; but; with the flesh; unto a law of sin.
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu ŵakuitendekanya yeleyo kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Yeleyi ni yandi une, kwa lunda lwangu ngugatumichila malajisyo ga Akunnungu, nambo kwa tama syangu syangalumbana sya chiilu simbagwile nasyo, ngugatumichila malajisyo ga sambi.
