Romans 6
1 Someone might [RHQ] say [in reply to what I have written] that [since God acted kindly toward us] in a way we did not deserve [because we sinned], perhaps we should continue to sin in order that he may continue to act even more kindly toward us [and keep on forgiving us]! [RHQ]
Unya unsa man ang atong ikasulti? Kinahanglan ba kita magpadayon sa sala aron nga modagaya ang grasya?
2 [I would reply], No, certainly not! We [ought to consider that] our sinful desires [MET] [cannot make us do what they want us to do], [just like we cannot make] a corpse do what we want it to do. So it is not right that we continue to sin! [RHQ]
Dili unta kini mahitabo. Kita nga namatay sa sala, unsaon nato pagpabilin sa pagpuyo niini?
3 When we were baptized {[asked someone to] baptize us} in order to show that we have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Jesus Christ, our [being baptized was to declare that it was as though] we died with Christ. ([I want] you to remember that!/Do you not know that?) [RHQ]
Wala ba kamo masayod nga sa kadaghan sa nabawtismohan ngadto kang Cristo Jesus gibawtismohan ngadto sa iyang kamatayon?
4 So, when we were baptized {someone baptized us}, [it was as though] we were buried with Christ. [We were baptized] in order to indicate that [we would not let our sinful desires make us do what they want us to do, just like people cannot make] a corpse [do what they want it to] do [MET]. We [were baptized] to [signify that we would] continually conduct our lives in a new way, just like Christ was caused to live again in a new way by the great [power] of [God his] Father.
Unya, gilubong na kita, uban kaniya pinaagi sa bawtismo ngadto sa kamatayon. Kini nahitabo aron nga sama kang Cristo nga gibanhaw gikan sa mga patay pinaagi sa himaya sa Amahan, aron usab kita mahimong makalakaw sa kabag-ohan sa kinabuhi.
5 Because of our close relationship with Christ, we have [separated ourselves from the former way in which we conducted our lives], just like he [was separated from his physical life when he] died [MET]. But God will also certainly [enable us to live in a new way, just like he] enabled Christ to live again.
Kay kung kita nahiusa uban kaniya sama sa iyang kamatayon, kita usab nahiusa uban sa iyang pagkabanhaw.
6 We must keep remembering that when Christ died on the cross [MET], [it was as though] our sinful nature [died with him. It has] lost its power to make us do what it wants us to do [MET]. That happened in order that we would not do the sinful [things that our bodies] [MET], which desire to sin, want us to do, and in order that we would no longer have to sin [MET], as slaves [have to do what their masters want].
Nasayod kita niini, nga ang atong karaang pagkatawo gilansang na uban kaniya, aron nga ang lawas sa sala mapukan. Nahitabo kini aron nga kita dili na gayod maulipon sa sala.
7 [We are, as it were, freed] {[free]} [from] sinful [desires] [MET] [controlling us, just like] those who have died are free [from anything controlling them].
Siya nga namatay gipahayag na nga matarong kung kabahin sa sala.
8 Since [it is as though] we died with Christ, we believe that we will continue to live with him.
Apan kung kita namatay uban kang Cristo, mituo kita nga mabuhi usab kita uban kaniya.
9 We know that since [God] enabled Christ to live again after he died, Christ will never die again. Nothing will ever be able to make him die again [PRS].
Nasayod kita nga si Cristo gibanhaw gikan sa mga patay, ug nga siya dili na gayod mamatay. Ang kamatayon dili na magmando nganha kaniya.
10 When he died, he died once for [people] who had sinned, and he will never die again; but in regard to his living [again now], he lives in order to [serve/honor] God.
Kay bahin sa kamatayon nga namatay siya sa sala, namatay siya sa makausa alang sa tanan. Apan, ang kinabuhi nga iyang gikinabuhi, gikinabuhi niya kini alang sa Dios.
11 Similarly, you must consider that [it is as though] you have become [unable to do what your] sinful [desires] [MET] want, as a corpse [is not able to do what anyone wants it to do]. You must also consider that because of your relationship to Christ Jesus you are living [in a new way] in order to [serve/honor] God.
Sa samang paagi, kinahanglan nga kamo usab moila sa inyong kaugalingon nga patay sa sala, apan buhi sa Dios diha kang Cristo Jesus.
12 So, do not let the [desire to] sin [PRS] control your bodies [MET] with the result that you do the sinful things that you desire to do. [Remember that] your bodies will surely die, [but your spirits will never die].
Busa ayaw tugoti ang sala nga magmando sa inyong may kamatayong lawas aron nga kamo mamahimong motuman sa kailibgon niini.
13 Do not let any of your body parts do wicked things, as [you did] [MET] [when you were spiritually] dead. Instead, present yourselves to God as people who are alive [spiritually]. Present all your body parts to God, [to allow him] to use them to [do] righteous things.
Ayaw itugyan ang mga bahin sa inyong lawas ngadto sa sala ingon nga gamit alang sa dili pagkamatarong, apan itugyan ang inyong kaugalingon ngadto sa Dios, ingon nga buhi gikan sa mga patay. Ug itugyan ang mga bahin sa inyong lawas ingon nga gamit sa pagkamatarong alang sa Dios.
14 Do not let a [desire to] sin control you [PRS]. The laws [that God gave Moses] did not enable you [to stop sinning]. But [now] God controls you and kindly helps you [not to sin].
Ayaw tugoti ang sala nga magmando nganha kaninyo. Kay dili na kamo ilalom sa balaod, apan ilalom na sa grasya.
15 [I suppose that certain people might think about what I have just said and they might] say [RHQ], “[You say that] the laws [God gave Moses] did not [enable us to stop sinning, but that God is now] treating us kindly in ways we do not deserve. ([That seems to mean that God permits] us to continue sinning./[Does that mean that God permits] us to continue sinning?) [RHQ]” My reply to that is no, we should certainly not continue [sinning]
Unya unsa? Magpakasala ba kita tungod kay kita dili ilalom sa balaod, apan ilalom sa grasya? Dili unta kini mahitabo.
16 [Slaves] have to obey [what their masters command] [MET] [them to do]. (I want you to remember this./Do you not know this?) [RHQ] Similarly, if you present yourselves to someone [in order to] obey him, you will be the slaves [MET] of the person you obey. Similarly, [if you have yielded yourselves to do the] sinful things [you desire], you are slaves of your sinful desires [PRS], and you will be eternally separated from God. [If you have yielded yourselves] to obey [God], you are slaves of God and you need to [live] righteously.
Wala ba kamo masayod nga ang inyong gitugyanan sa inyong mga kaugalingon ingon nga mga sulugoon, ang usa nga diin kamo nahimong mga sulugoon, ang usa nga inyong kinahanglang tumanon? Tinuod kini nga bisan kamo mga sulugoon sa sala nga naghatod ngadto sa kamatayon, o mga sulugoon sa pagkamatinumanon nga naghatod ngadto sa pagkamatarong.
17 You were once slaves [to] your sinful [desires]. But you began to sincerely obey the new teaching [MET] that you were taught {that [people] taught you}. I thank God for that.
Apan salamat sa Dios! Kay kamo kaniadto mga sulugoon sa sala, apan gituman na ninyo gikan sa kasingkasing ang sumbanan sa pagpanudlo nga gihatag kaninyo.
18 [I] also [thank God that] you have been freed {[that] he has freed you} from [being controlled by a desire to] sin, and that you have become [as though you were] slaves [MET] to [living] righteously [MET].
Gihimo na kamong gawasnon gikan sa sala, ug nahimo na kamong mga sulugoon sa pagkamatarong.
19 I am illustrating what I say [by talking about slavery] because your human nature prevents you from understanding [spiritual truth] easily. [In the past] you willingly did the immoral and unlawful things that [your minds compelled] your bodies to do [MET], [just like] slaves [do what their masters compel them to do]. As a result, you did even more unlawful things. Now, [you need to] willingly allow [your minds to compel] your bodies to [act] righteously [MET], in order that you will behave in a holy/pure way.
Nagsulti ako sama sa usa ka tawo tungod sa kaluyahon sa inyong unod. Kay sama ra nga inyong gitugyan ang mga bahin sa inyong lawas ingon nga mga ulipon sa pagkamahugaw ug sa daotan, sa samang paagi karon, itugyan ang mga bahin sa inyong lawas ingon nga mga ulipon sa pagkamatarong alang sa pagkabalaan.
20 When you were [like] slaves [because your sinful desires compelled you to do] sinful things [MET], you were not [concerned about behaving] righteously [MET].
Kay sa dihang kamo mga ulipon sa sala, gawasnon kamo gikan sa pagkamatarong.
21 Nevertheless, [doing] those things resulted in your being separated from God, so you did not benefit at all from [doing] the [sinful] things that you are now ashamed of. [RHQ]
Nianang higayona, unsa nga bunga ang inyong naangkon sa mga butang nga inyo nang gikaulaw karon? Kay ang dangatan niadtong mga butanga mao ang kamatayon.
22 But you have been freed {[God] has freed you} from [letting the desire to] sin control you. You have become [as though you are] [MET] the slaves of God. So now the result is that God has caused you to completely belong to him and, as a result, you will live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Apan karon nga nahimo na kamong gawasnon gikan sa sala ug naulipon na sa Dios, naangkon na ninyo ang inyong bunga alang sa pagkabalaan. Ang sangpotan mao ang kinabuhing walay kataposan. (aiōnios g166)
23 [What people receive for] sinning [is that they are] eternally separated from God. That is [like] wages that [people receive] [MET]. But what God gives us is a gift. What he gives us is that we live eternally because of [our relationship with] (OR, because [we are united to]) Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
Kay ang bayad sa sala mao ang kamatayon, apan ang walay bayad nga gasa sa Dios mao ang kinabuhing walay kataposan diha kang Cristo Jesus nga atong Ginoo. (aiōnios g166)
