Romans 7
1 Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a person only as long as he lives?
O ry longo, (ie itaroñako o mahafohiñe Hake) nofi’ areo hao te fehè’ i Hake t’indaty t’ie mbe veloñe?
2 For a married woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning her husband.
Fa ampifetrehe’ i Hake amy vali’ey ty rakemba naho mbe veloñe i rangahey, ie mihomake indatiy, le votsotse amy Hake mamahotse aze amy vali’eiy.
3 So then, she will be called an adulteress if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not committing adultery if she is joined to another man.
Aa naho anakeza’ ondaty ty rakemba manam-baly le atao t’ie tsy vokatse. Fe naho mihomake i vali’ey, le haha amy Hake re, vaho tsy karapilo t’ie engae’ ondaty.
4 So then, my brothers, you also were put to death with respect to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, so that we might bear fruit for God.
Ie amy zao ry longo, ty Fañòva’ i Norizañeiy ty nivetraha’ areo amy Hake, hireketa’ areo ami’ty hafa, amy nampitroareñe amy havilasiy, hamokaran-tika ho an’ Andrianañahare.
5 For when we were in the flesh, our sinful passions, which were aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit leading to death.
Itika tamy nofotsey, le nitoloñe an-tsandriñe ao o draon-kakeo nisigihe’ i Hake hamokara’e fihomahañeo.
6 But now we have been released from the law, having died to that by which we were held, so that we may serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
F’ie votsots’ amy Hake henaneo, nivetrake amy namahotsey, hitoroñe ami’ty nañavaoe’ i Arofoy fa tsy am-pimanemanean-tsokitse hambo’e.
7 What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Yet I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, “Yoʋ shall not covet.”
Aa le inoñe ty ho asan-tikañe? Hakeo hao t’i Hake? Sondo’e! Fa tsy ho napotako ty atao tahiñe naho tsy t’i Hake, le tsy ho nihaiko ze atao fitsikirihañe naho tsy nafè’ i Hake ty hoe, Ko mihàñe.
8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetousness. For apart from the law sin is dead.
I tahiñey, ie nampahazoa’ i liliy lalañe, nitrobo ze atao fikirañañe amako, fa naho tsy eo Hake, tsy eo tahiñe.
9 Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came to life and I died.
Niveloñe hey iraho taolo t’ie tsy aman-Kake; fe niavy i liliy, le nibodan-ko veloñe o tahiñeo vaho nikenkan-draho;
10 So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
i fañè ho ninday haveloñey, te mone namono ahy.
11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.
I hakeoy, ie nampahazoa’ i liliy lalañe, namañahy ahy, vaho ie ty namono ahy.
12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
Aa le Masiñe t’i Hake, le miavake naho vantañe vaho soa o lilio.
13 Has that then which is good brought death to me? Certainly not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
Aa vaho fihomahañe amako hao i soay? Sondo’e! Fa i tahiñey, hampiborahañe ty hakeo, nitoloñe fihomahañe amako amy soay, hampidodea’ i Hake ty halo-tsere’ o tahiñeo.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold as a slave to sin.
Fohintika te añ’arofo t’i Hake, f’ie ama’ nofotse naletake hondevon-kakeo.
15 I do not understand what I do. Instead of doing what I want to do, I do the very thing I hate.
Tsy apotako o anoekoo; le tsy anoeko o satrikoo, te mone i hejekoy ty anoeko.
16 Now if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
Aa naho anoeko i tsy satrikoy, le iantofako te soa t’i Hake.
17 But now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Ie henaneo tsy izaho ty manao, fa ty hakeo mitoboke an-troko ato.
18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. I have the desire to do what is right, but I find that the ability to carry it out is lacking.
Apotako te tsy imoneñan-kasoa ty nofoko toy. Toe amam-pisalalan-draho, fe tsy tafete’e ty fanoan-tsoa.
19 For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I do the very evil that I do not want to do.
I soa satrieko hanoeñey tsy anoeko, fe i raty hejekoy ty toloñako.
20 Now if I do the very thing I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Aa naho anoeko i raha hejekoy, le tsy izaho ty mitoloñe, fa o tahiñe mitsotsefotse amakoo.
21 I find then the law that when I want to do what is right, evil is present with me.
Treako amy zao ty lily toy, t’ie manitra hanao soa, amako ty raty.
22 For I delight in the law of God in my inner being,
Toe iantofako an-kafalean-troke i Han’ Añaharey;
23 but I see another law at work in my members, warring against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that is in my members.
fe mahatrea hake hafa am-pangefangen-tsandriko ato mifandraparapake amy Hake am-pitsakoreako atoañey mandrohy ahy amy ha’ o tahiñe am-pangefangekooy.
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
Hete, ondaty mavoin-draho! Ia ty hañaha ahy ami’ty sandrim-pihomahañe toy?
25 I thank God that he will do so through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
Andriañeko t’i Andrianañahare añamy Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey. Ie amy zao mitoroñe i Han’ Añaharey iraho an-troke ao, naho i ha’ o tahiñeoy ami’ty sandriko hambo’e toy.
