Romans 7
1 Remember ye not brethren (I speake to them yt know the lawe) how that the lawe hath power over a man as longe as it endureth?
Kahore ano koutou kia matau, e oku teina, e korero ana hoki ahau ki te hunga matau ki te ture, hei rangatira te ture mo te tangata i te wa e ora ai ia?
2 For the woman which is in subieccion to a man is bounde by the lawe to the man as longe as he liveth. Yf the man be deed she is lowsed from the lawe of the man.
Ko te wahine whai tane hoki, e mau ana ano ia i te ture ki te tane i a ia e ora ana; ki te mate ia te tane, kua mawheto ia i te ture a te tane.
3 So then yf whill the man liveth she couple her selfe with another man she shalbe counted a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed she is fre fro the lawe: so that she is no wedlocke breaker though she couple her selfe with another man.
Na, ki te riro ia i te tangata ke i tana tane e ora ana ano, ka kiia ia he wahine puremu: tena ka mate te tane, e atea ana a i te ture, ka kore ia e puremu ahakoa riro i te tangata ke.
4 Even so ye my brethren are deed concerninge the lawe by the body of Christ yt ye shuld be coupled to another (I meane to him that is rysen agayne fro deeth) that we shuld bringe forth frute vnto God.
Heoi ko koutou ano hoki, e oku teina, kua meinga kia tupapaku ki te ture, na te tinana o te Karaiti; kia riro ai koutou i tetahi atu, ara i tera i whakaarahia i te hunga mate, kia whai hua ai tatou ki te Atua.
5 For when we were in the flesshe the lustes of synne which were stered vppe by ye lawe raygned in oure membres to bringe forth frute vnto deeth.
I a tatou hoki i te kikokiko, e mahi ana nga hihiritanga o nga hara, e whakaohokia nei e te ture, i roto i o tatou wahi, a hua ake ko te mate.
6 But now are we delivered fro the lawe and deed fro that whervnto we werein bondage that we shuld serve in a newe conversacion of ye sprete and not in ye olde conversacion of the letter.
Ko tenei kua mawheto mai tatou i te ture, kua mate hoki tatou ki te mea i puritia ai tatou; no reira e mahi ana tatou i runga i te houtanga o te wairua, kahore i runga i te tawhitotanga o te kupu tuhituhi.
7 What shall we saye then? is ye lawe synne? God forbid: but I knewe not what synne meant but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant excepte the lawe had sayde thou shalt not lust.
Kia pehea ra he kupu ma tatou? He hara ranei te ture? Kahore rapea. Engari kihai ahau i matau ki te hara, me i kaua te ture: kahore hoki ahau i mohio ki te hiahia apo, me i kaua te ture te mea mai, Aua koe e hiahia apo.
8 But synne toke an occasion by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscece. For with out the lawe synne was deed.
Na, ka mau te hara ki tenei, a ka mahi i nga hiahia apo katoa i roto i ahau, he mea na te ture. Ki te kore hoki te ture ka mate te hara.
9 I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed.
I ora hoki ahau i mua i te korenga o te ture: no te taenga mai ia o te kupu whakahau, ka ora ake te hara, a mate iho ahau.
10 And the very same comaundement which was ordeyned vnto lyfe was founde to be vnto me an occasion of deeth.
Na, ko te kupu whakahau i meinga ra hei ora, kitea ketia ana tenei hei mate moku.
11 For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we.
Ka mau te hara ki tenei, ka whakawai hoki i ahau i runga i te kupu whakahau, nana ahau i mate ai.
12 Wherfore the lawe is holy and the commaundement holy iust and good.
Ae ra, he tapu te ture, me te kupu whakahau ano he tapu, he tika, he pai.
13 Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull.
I riro koia te mea pai hei mate moku? Kahore rapea. Engari na te hara i mea te mea pai hei mate moku, kia whakakitea ai he hara te hara; na ka ai te kupu whakahau hei mea kia tino nui noa atu.
14 For we knowe that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne
E matau ana hoki tatou no te wairua te ture: ko ahau ia no te kikokiko, kua hokona hei parau ma te hara.
15 because I wote not what I doo. For what I wold that do I not: but what I hate that do I.
Ko taku hoki e mahi nei kahore e mohiotia iho e ahau: kahore hoki e mahia e ahau taku i pai ai; heoi ko taku i kino ai, meatia ana tenei e ahau.
16 Yf I do now that which I wolde not I graute to the lawe that it is good.
Ki te mahia ia e ahau taua mea kihai nei ahau i pai atu, e whakaae ana ahau ki te ture he pai.
17 So then nowe it is not I that do it but synne that dwelleth in me.
Ko tenei ehara i ahau i mahi, engari na te hara e noho nei i roto i ahau.
18 For I knowe that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. To will is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that which is good.
E matau ana hoki ahau, kahore he mea pai e noho ana i roto i ahau, ara i roto i toku kikokiko: ko te hiahia hoki kei ahau, ko te mea ia i te pai kahore i ahau.
19 For I doo not yt good thinge which I wold: but that evill do I which I wolde not.
Ko te pai hoki e hiahiatia ana e ahau, kahore e mahia e ahau: engari te kino kihai nei ahau i pai, mahia ana tenei e ahau.
20 Finally yf I do that I wolde not then is it not I that doo it but synne that dwelleth in me doeth it.
Ki te mahia ia e ahau taua mea pu kihai nei ahau i pai atu, ehara i ahau nana taua mea i mahi, engari na te hara e noho nei i roto i ahau.
21 I fynde then by the lawe that when I wolde do good evyll is present with me.
Na, kua kitea e ahau te ture, ara kei te tata tonu te kino ki ahau e hiahia nei kia mea i te pai.
22 I delite in the lawe of God concerninge the inner man.
E ahuareka ana hoki ahau ki te ture a te Atua, ara to roto tangata:
23 But I se another lawe in my membres rebellinge agaynst the lawe of my mynde and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne which is in my membres.
Otira kua kitea e ahau tetahi atu ture i roto i oku wahi, e whawhai ana ki te ture a toku hinengaro, e mea ana i ahau hei taurekareka ma te ture a te hara, ma tenei i roto nei i oku wahi.
24 O wretched man yt I am: who shall delyver me fro this body of deeth?
Aue, te mate i ahau! ma wai ahau e whakaora i te tinana o tenei mate?
25 I thanke God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde. So then I my silfe in my mynde serve the lawe of God and in my flesshe the lawe of synne.
Ma te Atua! E whakawhetai tonu ana ahau ki a ia i runga i a Ihu Karaiti, i to tatou Ariki. Na, e mahi ana ahau ano nei, ara, toku hinengaro, ki te ture a te Atua, ko toku kikokiko ia ki te ture a te hara.
