Romans 7
1 Or do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to people who know about law), that the law controls a person for as long as he lives?
Achalongo achinjangu, sambano ngukunguluka ni ŵandu ŵakugamanyilila Malajisyo. Ngankumanyilila kuti lilajisyo likuntawala mundu aŵaga jwanjumi?
2 For the married woman is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
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 So then, while her husband is living, if she lives with another man, she will be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so she is not an adulteress if she lives with another man.
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 Therefore, my brothers, you were also made dead to the law through the body of Christ. This is so that you could be joined to another, that is, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might produce fruit for 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 sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for 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 been released from the law. We have died to that by which we were held. This is so that we might serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the 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 will we say then? Is the law itself sin? May it never be. However, I would never have known sin, if it were not through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law said, “You must 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 But sin took the opportunity through the commandment and brought about every lust in me. For without the 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 At one time I was alive without the law, but when the commandment came, sin regained life, and I died.
Kundanda ko naliji jwanjumi pangagamanyilila Malajisyo, nambo pagaiche makanyo, sambi syajenele mu utame wangu, noneji naliji mpela jwammwe.
10 The commandment that was to bring life turned out to be death for me.
Ni naiweni kuti makanyo gagasachilwe kunyigalila umi, kwaune ganyigalile chiwa.
11 For sin took the opportunity through the commandment and deceived me. Through the commandment it killed me.
Pakuŵa sambi syapatile lipesa kwa litala lya makanyo galagala, syanambwisye ni kumulaga.
12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
Nipele Malajisyo gali gamaswela ni makanyo nombe nago gali gamaswela ni gakwanonyelesya Akunnungu ni gali gambone.
13 So did what is good become death to me? May it never be. But sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin through what is good, brought about death in me. This was in order that through the commandment, sin might become sinful beyond measure.
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, but I am of the flesh. I have been sold under slavery to sin.
Tukumanyilila kuti Malajisyo gali nkati indu ya chimbumu ni une nganiŵa mundu jwachimbumu, jusumichikwe nti kapolo mu sambi.
15 For what I do, I do not really understand. For what I want to do, I do not do, and what I hate, I do.
Pakuŵa nganguchimanyilila chinguchitenda, ligongo achila chinguchisaka nganguchitenda nambo achila chinganguchisaka kuchitenda chelecho ni chinguchitenda.
16 But if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law that the law is good.
Nipele, iŵaga nguchitenda achila chinganguchisaka kuchitenda, ngwitichisya kuti Malajisyo gala gali gambone.
17 But now it is no longer I who do it, but the sin that lives in me.
Nipele nganima une nansyene junguchitenda chelecho, nambo asila sambi syasikutama mwangu une.
18 For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, lives no good thing. For the desire for good is with me, but I cannot do it.
Ngumanyilila kuti nkati mwangu une, malumbo gakwe mu chiilu changu cha sambi ngachikutaama chindu chambone. Ligongo namuno ngusaka kuchitenda chambone ngangukombola.
19 For the good that I want I do not do, but the evil that I do not want, that I do.
Pakuŵa chambone chinguchisaka nganguchitenda, nambo changalumbana chinganguchisaka kuchitenda, chelecho ni chinguchitenda.
20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, then it is no longer I who am acting, but rather sin that lives in me.
Nipele, iŵaga nguchitenda achila chinganguchisaka kuchitenda, nganima une junguchitenda, nambo asila sambi syasikutama nkati mwangu ni syasikuchitenda chelecho.
21 I find, then, the principle in me that I want to do what is good, but that evil is actually present in me.
Nipele, nachiweni chindu chi chikupanganya masengo nkati mwangu, pakuŵa pangusaka kuchitendekanya chambone, kutenda ungalumbana ni unguusagula.
22 For I rejoice in the law of God with the inner man.
Pakuŵa mu ntima mwangu ngugasengwela Malajisyo ga Akunnungu.
23 But I see a different principle in my body parts. It fights against that new principle in my mind. It takes me captive by the principle of sin that is in my body parts.
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 I am a miserable man! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
Kulaga kwangu une! Ana ŵaani ŵachangulupusye ndyoche mu chiilu chachikunongosya mu chiwa?
25 But thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind. However, with the flesh I serve the principle 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.
