< Romans 8 >

1 Because [God has erased the record of our sins because we trust in what Christ has done for us], now [God will] not condemn and punish those/us who have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Christ Jesus.
Barki anime ukasu aka rizo urani ba, ahira andesa wa tarsa bibe Asere Yeso.
2 [God’s] Spirit causes us to live [in a new way] [PRS] as a result of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. And he has set up a way by which he frees [each of] us from continually being forced to sin (OR, to obey our self-directed natures) and from being separated from God.
Barki u hani ubibe bu vengize anyimo abibe Asere Yeso ma kurzo, duru tize andesa a susuwe anyimo amadini ahira amadini nan ni wono.
3 What [we] could not do [by trying to obey] the laws [of God] [PRS], because our self-directed nature was too weak [to obey them], God did. He sent his own Son [into the world in order that his Son might atone] for our sin. His Son came having a body (OR, human nature) that was like [the body] (OR, the [human nature]) of us people who sin. [By sending his Son in this way], he condemned and punished [his Son, who never sinned, instead of punishing us, who] sinned [MTY]. He did that [by making his Son’s] body [a sacrifice] (OR, [by causing his Son’s] body [to suffer/die]) for [all our] sin.
Anime imum besa tize tini kabbo daki tize tihuna tini inko ba barki usisi kirme anyimo ani pum, Asere atumi vana ume in mu hinu mani pum ni madini barki ma nya nice nume barki madini ma wozi Asere anya imadini anyimo anipum.
4 So we can [now] fulfill all that God required in his laws. We do this, not by our acting the way our sinful human nature [desires], but instead by living as [God’s] Spirit [desires us to live].
Ma wo anime barki imum sa nayar ini atize tini ku boo ti kem umyinca anyimo aru, haru sa ti haka idaki ani pum ba, anyimo abibe bi ririn ba Asere.
5 People who live according to what their self-directed nature [desires] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires]. But people who [live] according to what [God’s] Spirit [desires think about and are concerned about] what [God’s] Spirit [desires].
Anime sa wa ciki anyimo apum wonno wa hiri timumu ti nipum wa wuzizi ki ziziki itini, ani gisa wa haki ahira abibe biririwa kurzo mu reba muwe me ahira abibe bi riri.
6 Those people who [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires] will not live eternally (OR, will be separated from God). But those people who think about and are concerned about what [God’s] Spirit [desires] will live [eternally] and have [inner] peace.
Desa ma inko iriba anipum unu wuna ma ni inko iriba abibe ba Asere uvenke nan ni iriba ishew.
7 Let me explain this. [To the extent that] people [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires], they are acting contrary to God. They do not obey the laws of God. In fact, they are not even able [to obey his laws].
Anime ani desa ma inko iriba annipum ishina ini mazin nan na Asere, mada tarsa me u inko utize ta Asere, nani marusi.
8 The people who let their self-directed nature [control them] cannot do what pleases God.
Adesa warani anipum wada rumza ugomo Asere iriba ba.
9 But we do not have to let our self-directed nature [control us]. Instead, we can [let] God’s Spirit [control us], because he lives within us. If people do not have [living in them] the Spirit [who comes from] Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
Vat anime, izoshi anyimo anipum ba irani anyimo abibe, inki kadura kani, bibe ba ASere bi ciki anyimo ashime. Anyimo asime desa mazo me be bibe ba Asere ba me azo ume mani ba.
10 But since Christ [is living in you/us by his Spirit, although] your/our bodies [are certain to] die because you/we sin, your/our spirits are alive because God has erased the record of your/our sins.
Inki ugomo Asere mara anyimo aweme ni pum nuwe ni iririni ahira madini, abibe kizi ahira uni riba iriri.
11 [God] caused Jesus to live again after he died. And because his Spirit lives in you/us, [God] will also make your/our bodies, which [now] are sure to die, live [again after you/we die]. God, who caused Christ to live again after he died, will make you/us live again by [causing] his Spirit, who lives within you/us, [to do it].
Inki bibe bi gisa hirza Yeso anyimo a mu cau bi kizi anyimo ashime, me desa ma hirze Yeso madi nya uvenke anipum ashime ani wuno usuro ubibeu, sa ma kizi anyimo shi me.
12 Therefore, my fellow believers, we must [live as the Spirit directs us]. What we do not have to do is to live as our self-directed nature [guides us].
Ni henu inzi ni mum ibuka in daki anyimo a pum ba, sa indi wuzi anyimo utarsa u ni pum.
13 If you live the way your self-directed nature [directs], you will surely not live [eternally] (OR, will surely be eternally separated from God). But if by [the power of God’s] Spirit you quit doing the [sinful] things that your bodies [desire] [MET], you will live eternally.
Inki ya wuza ti cukum ahira ani pum, in we anime, inki ahira abibe ihuza bi wuza-wuza bini nipum, indi vengize.
14 We who are guided by the Spirit of God {allow the Spirit of God to guide us} are God’s children.
Vat andesa bibe ba Asere bi tarsan in we vat wuza bini nipum, indi vengize.
15 [You have showed that this is true], because you received [from God] a Spirit that is not one that makes you fear [God] again. You are not like slaves who [fear their masters] [MET]. On the contrary, we have received a Spirit by whose [work in our hearts God] has adopted us. The Spirit now enables us to cry out [to God], “[You(sg) are my] Father [DOU]!”
Indaki yakaba bibe beni nonzo sabi bi biyyau ba. Barki anime, yakabi bibe icukuno ana indai, ahira ameme ani ti yeze agmirang ti tisa inni kara, ''hu aco uro.''
16 The Spirit himself confirms what our spirits [say], that we are God’s children.
Wa wuna manya u impo amaru nigo nan bibe innu guna haru hana Asere wani.
17 Because we are [God’s] children, we also will some day receive/inherit [eternal blessings/privileges]. We will receive/inherit them from God, and we will [also] receive/inherit [them] just like Christ has [inherited them]. But we must suffer [for doing good] as Christ did, in order to receive splendor as he did.
Inka haru ahana Asere wani, haru anu kaba wanni, anu kaba Asere. Haru me anu kaba wani nigo nan nu ugomo Asere, anime ani ikatasa nirere nigo nan me ade kure a nonzoko duru nigo nan me.
18 I consider that what we suffer during the present time is not worth [paying attention to, because] the future splendor/glory that will be revealed {that [God] will reveal} to us [is so great].
Ma wuze ugun guna kasi inu guna uzatu ti we tigeme indaki wa bare abati uni nan ni nan sade be zen duru.
19 The [things that God has] created are very eagerly waiting for [the time] [PRS, DOU] when God will reveal who his [true] children are.
Barki bibara ba Asere bizi nu nyara bi iri uboka ahana Asere.
20 [God] caused the things that he created to be unable to achieve [what he had purposed. That was] not because they wanted to [be unable to do that]. On the contrary, [God] made them that way because he wanted them to keep confidently expecting
Atuzu ugungu ubi bara bara ba Asere, asume ini reba ime ba, ani anime desa matuzu ugungui me, marani ahira anu tarza utize.
21 that the things that [he] created will be freed {that [he] will free the things that [he] created} from their sure decay [MET]. [He] will free them in order that [he can give them] the same glory that belongs to his children.
In nu guna ubarka uni me ini ce nume wade kem usuro anyimo ani nunzu niwe chi, ade eye iwe inu nonzoko ugungui wahana Asee.
22 We know that until now [it is as though] all [things] that God created have been groaning together, [and they long for that glory, just like a mother having the pains before bearing a child] groans [and longs for her baby’s birth] [MET].
Ti rusa ubarka wa Asere uni uni vat uni u erino wanu pazeza uya ingo nan uhana ukani me.
23 Not only [do those things groan], but we ourselves also groan inwardly. We who have [God’s] Spirit, who is like a partial gift [MET] we have received as we wait for [the future glory, groan inwardly]. We groan while we wait eagerly for the time when we will receive our [full] rights as God’s adopted children. That [will include] his freeing our bodies [from the things that hinder us on earth. He will do this by giving us new bodies].
Indaki anime casi ba, nan ni haro me ace aro me, sa tizi uhina waje ubibe haro ace aro me tizizn inu ezu anyimo aro, ti zin inu be ukaba uro me, uni uni uvike wa pum aro me anime.
24 Ever since we were saved {since [God] saved us}, we have continued to confidently expect [that future glory]. If we had what we waited for, we would not [need to] wait for it any longer, because those who have something, certainly do not continue to wait for it! [RHQ]
Ahira u nya ace aro a nyanduru u vigi uro me, ana me inmum bisa tizen in nu hira kasi ide wu indaki ta mu ira eniba barki u eye mani maka insu aje innu guna ma ire kadure ka ini in hira.
25 But because we keep waiting expectantly to receive what we do not yet have, we wait for it eagerly and patiently/perseveringly.
Inka tizin kadura ki mum sa daki ta ira eni ba, kini ti nyargi ini inireba ishew.
26 Similarly, in addition to our continuing to wait for what God will give us, God’s Spirit helps us when our spirits feel weak. We do not know what is proper/necessary for us to pray. But God’s Spirit knows, and he prays for us when we groan (OR, he groans) in a way that cannot be expressed in words (OR, prays with us, groaning in a way that cannot be expressed in words).
Anime ani, bibe bezin innu benki uru u nisi ziki me niru me, ana me ti data duru ane ani ti di wu biringara ba, ane ani bibe me inice nume mazin innu tira utari barki haru me nan nu ezu nan nu ezu sa adaki abuki u gbardang uni ba.
27 God, who examines our inner feelings, understands what his Spirit desires. What God understands is that his Spirit prays for us who belong to God exactly as God wants him to pray.
Me sa ma nyara iriba marusa ini ireba ibibe ba Asere, barki mazin innu tira utari barki anu utize ti kadura ahira ubasa umeme. Ugomo Asere me.
28 And we know that to those/us who love God, he works out all things that happen [to them/us] in a way that produces good [spiritual] benefits [for us]. He does these things for those/us whom he has chosen, because that was (OR, was according to) what he planned to do.
Ti ruzan innu guna anigebe wazin in mu ruba ma gbindriko uni henu ugono Asere, maka wuzi tire timumum barki weme, uhana ukem imum iriri u hana vat andesa adi titi we barki ubasa umeme. Vat u timum tini bati cukuno imum iriri.
29 God knew previously [that we would believe] in him (OR, [would be saved]). We are those who God also decided previously would develop a character like his Son’s character. The result of that is that [Christ is like] a firstborn/highest-ranking [son], and [those/we who are God’s children] [MET] are [like] [MET] many [younger] brothers [of Jesus].
Barki anime ani andesa marusi ubasa u muruba mu we ma wu wa cukuno ini mum kang unu henu nu vana ume, barki ma cukuno vana u tuba anyimo ani henu ni gbardang.
30 And us who God decided previously [that we would become like his Son], he also summoned. And for us whom he summoned, he also erased the record of our sins. And for us whose record of sins he has erased, he also will surely give future splendor.
We sa ma ziti inu titi we, ana gesa ma titi we, ma gminca we, ana gesa ma gminca we. We wani ma wu we gongon.
31 So (I will tell you what we must conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]./what shall we conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]?) [RHQ] Because God [is acting] on our behalf, (no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!) [RHQ]
Nyanini tidi gu ini nan ni mum igino me. Inka Asere azi nigo nan haru aveni madi wuzi ishina nan haru?
32 God did not spare even his very own Son. Instead, he turned him over [to others to cruelly kill him] in order that all we [who believe in him] may benefit [from his dying for us. Therefore, because God did that], (he will also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ./will he not also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ?) [RHQ]
Me sa daki ma kartin vana ume ba, ma nya me barki haru vati, nyanini idi karti u nya uro timumum boo nigo nan me?
33 It is God himself who erases the record of our sins. So (no one who accuses us [before God will win against us] (OR, [it does not matter] if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen./is it possible that anyone who accuses us [before God] will win against us (OR, does it matter if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen?) [RHQ]
Aveni madi en in tire tize tu ja ginka abanga ahira ahana Asere, ugomo Asere mani ma gmyinca ahana ame.
34 It is Christ Jesus himself who pleads [with God] for us, so (no one can condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)./can anyone condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)?) [RHQ] Christ died [for us], but he was also brought back to life {[God] also raised him from the dead}, and he is now at the place of honor [ruling] with God [MTY].
Aveni madi ma tirizi unu? ugomo Asere sa ma wii barki haru ma wuzi ama aki anime mi unu ge besa ma hirsa me, mazi iti gomo nigo nan Asere ahira a gongon. Me mani mazin nu tira utari barki haru me.
35 Absolutely no one and nothing can cause Christ to stop loving us! [RHQ] That could not [RHQ] happen [because someone] caused us to have trouble [DOU], or [because someone did things to] harm us, or [because we did] not have anything to eat, or [because we did] not have enough clothes, or [because we lived in a] dangerous situation, or [because someone killed us with] a sword [MTY] (OR, murdered us).
Aveni madi harim duru nan ni riba ishew ya Asere? uzatu uganiya ucukuno me iriba, uzito nan nu kunna apum nani udira imum, ubebeti a uvira?
36 [Such things may happen to us, just like] it is written {[as David] wrote} [that David said to God], “Because we are your [(sg)] people, [other people repeatedly attempt to] kill us. They consider that we are [only people to be killed], [like a butcher considers] that sheep are [only] animals to be slaughtered [MET].”
Kasi inda be sa anyettike, ''barki hamani azin unu huza uru vat ani hiri a kurson duru kaniya itam azinnu wesi me?''
37 But even though all these bad things [may happen to us], we win a great victory/triumph [over these things because Christ], who loves us, [helps us].
U vat u timumum ti geme ti tekin ini kara agu haru ta kem maroo ahira ameme sa matarsa haru in ni riba ishew.
38 I am absolutely certain that neither being dead (OR, being killed), nor [what happens to us while] we live, nor angels, nor demons, nor present events, nor future events, nor powerful [beings/forces],
In anime ma ira kadura in nu guna nani iwe ini nani uvigizi nani uhana akatuma ka meme nani tigomo, nani timumum ti ana me, nani timumum tige be sa ti eze nani ni kara.
39 nor [powerful beings] above [the horizon] or below [the horizon] [MTY], nor anything else that [God has] created can cause God to stop loving us. [God showed us that he loves us by sending] Jesus Christ our Lord [to die for us].
Mani ujuko, nani uconcong unice nani iri imum ubari umeme daki wa bari wa harin duru wanu tarsa iriba ishew ugomo Asere, sa mara anyimo ugomo Asere Yeso ugomo uru ba.
