Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Ya mere, ikpe ọmụma ọbụla adịghịkwa ugbu a nye ndị niile nọ nʼime Jisọs Kraịst.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
Nʼihi na site na Kraịst Jisọs iwu nke Mmụọ na-enye ndụ emeela ka m nwere onwe m site nʼiwu nke mmehie na ọnwụ.
3 For what the law was unable to do because it was weak through the flesh, God did. He sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be an offering for sin, and he condemned sin in the flesh.
Nʼihi na ihe iwu na-enweghị ike ime, nʼihi adịghị ike nke anụ ahụ, ka Chineke mere, site nʼizite Ọkpara ya, ka ọ bịa nʼụdịdị anụ ahụ mmehie, bụrụ aja mmehie, site otu a, maa mmehie ikpe na anụ ahụ.
4 He did this in order that the requirements of the law might be fulfilled in us, we who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Ka izu ezu nke ihe niile iwu chọrọ nʼaka anyị bụrụ ihe e mezuru nʼime anyị, bụ ndị na-adịghị ebi ndụ dịka ọchịchọ anụ ahụ si dịrị, kama dịka ọchịchọ Mmụọ Nsọ si dị.
5 Those who live according to the flesh pay attention to the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit pay attention to the things of the Spirit.
Ndị niile na-ebi ndụ ha dịka anụ ahụ siri chọọ, na-ebi ya naanị imezu agụụ niile na-agụ anụ ahụ ha. Ma ndị niile na-agbaso ụzọ nke Mmụọ na-achọpụta na ha na-eme ihe Mmụọ na-achọ.
6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.
Ịtụkwasị uche nʼihe nke anụ ahụ na-eweta ọnwụ. Ma ịtụkwasị uche nʼihe nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-eweta ndụ na udo.
7 The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God's law, nor is it able to do so.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla tụkwasịrị uche ya nʼihe nke anụ ahụ na-ebuso Chineke agha, ọ naghị edebe iwu nke Chineke. Nʼeziokwu, ọ gaghị enwe ike idebe ya.
8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Ya mere, ndị na-erubere anụ ahụ ha isi apụghị ime ihe ga-atọ Chineke ụtọ.
9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is true that God's Spirit lives in you. But if someone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
Ma lee! Unu onwe unu anaghị ebizi ndụ nʼusoro nke anụ ahụ, kama unu na-ebi nʼusoro nke Mmụọ Nsọ nʼihi na Mmụọ nke Chineke bi nʼime unu. Onye ọbụla na-enweghị Mmụọ nke Kraịst abụghị nke ya.
10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead with respect to sin, but the spirit is alive with respect to righteousness.
Ọ bụrụkwa na Kraịst bi nʼime unu, anụ ahụ unu ga-abụ ihe nwụrụ anwụ nʼebe mmehie dị, ma mmụọ unu dị ndụ nʼihi na a gụọla unu na ndị ezi omume.
11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
Ọ bụrụ na Mmụọ onye mere ka Jisọs si nʼọnwụ bilie, bi nʼime gị, onye ahụ nke mere ka Kraịst si nʼọnwụ bilie ga-emekwa ka anụ ahụ gị dị ndụ site nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ, onye bi nʼime gị.
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, but not to the flesh to live according to the flesh.
Ya mere, ụmụnna m, anyị ji ụgwọ ma ọ bụghị anụ ahụ ka anyị ji ụgwọ ịdị ndụ dịka ọchịchọ ya si dị.
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the body's actions, you will live.
Ọ bụrụ na unu na-ebi ndụ dịka anụ ahụ si chọọ, unu ga-anwụ. Ma ọ bụrụ na unu ga-eji ike nke Mmụọ Nsọ mee ka omume niile nke anụ ahụ nwụọ, unu ga-adị ndụ.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Nʼihi na ndị niile Mmụọ nke Chineke na-achị bụ ụmụ Chineke.
15 You did not receive a spirit that makes you slaves, so that you live in fear again; but you received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, “Abba, Father!”
Nʼihi na unu anataghị mmụọ nke na-eme unu ndị ohu ọzọ nye ịtụ ụjọ, kama unu natara Mmụọ nke mere unu ụmụ Chineke. Ọ bụ site na Mmụọ ahụ ka anyị ji na-akpọ “Abba, Nna.”
16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
Mmụọ Nsọ, nʼonwe ya na-agbakwa ama nʼime mmụọ anyị, na-agwa anyị na anyị bụ ụmụ Chineke.
17 If we are children, then we are also heirs, heirs of God. And we are joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na anyị bụ ụmụ, ọ pụtara na anyị bụ ndị nketa oke, ndị ga-eketa ihe Chineke nwere, na ndị ha na Kraịst ga-ekekọta ihe, ma ọ bụrụ nʼezie na anyị ga-esoro ya keta oke ahụhụ ya, ka anyị si otu a sorokwa ya keta oke nʼebube ya.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed to us.
Nʼikwu eziokwu, ahụhụ niile anyị na-ata ugbu a erughị ihe a ga-eji tụnyere ebube niile a ga-ekpughe nʼime anyị.
19 For the eager expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Ihe niile e kere eke ji oke agụụ na-eche mgbe a ga-egosipụta ndị bụ ụmụ Chineke.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in the certain hope
Nʼihi na e tinyere ihe e kere eke nʼọnọdụ ihe na-abaghị uru, ma ọ bụghị site nʼọchịchọ nke onwe ya, kama nʼọchịchọ nke onye ahụ tinyere ya nʼọnọdụ ahụ nʼime olileanya,
21 that the creation itself will be delivered from slavery to decay, and that it will be brought into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
na otu ụbọchị na ha ga-enwere onwe ha site nʼagbụ nke ire ure, sorokwa keta oke nʼebube ahụ ga-abụ nke ụmụ Chineke.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors in pain together even now.
Anyị maara na ruo ugbu a, ihe niile e kere eke na-asụ ude nʼihi ihe mgbu ha nọ nʼime ya, dịka ihe mgbu nke ọmụmụ nwa.
23 Not only that, but even we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit—even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, the redemption of our body.
Ọ bụghị naanị nke a, ma anyị onwe anyị, ndị nwere mkpụrụ mbụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ, na-asụkwa ude nʼime onwe anyị, na-echesi ike mgbe a ga-akpọbata anyị dịka ụmụ, mgbe a ga-agbapụta anụ ahụ anyị.
24 For in this certain hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he can see?
Nʼihi na a zọpụtara anyị site nʼolileanya dị otu a. Ma olileanya a na-ahụ anya abụghị olileanya. Onye na-enwe olileanya mgbe ihe ọ na-ele anya ya dị ya nʼaka?
25 But if we have certain hope about what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Ma ọ bụrụ na olileanya anyị dabeere nʼihe ahụ anyị na-enwetabeghị, anyị ga-eji ndidi chere tutu ihe ahụ erute anyị aka.
26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps in our weakness. For we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groans.
Otu aka ahụ, Mmụọ Nsọ na-enyere anyị aka nʼime adịghị ike anyị. Nʼihi na anyị amaghị ka esi ekpe ekpere dịka o kwesiri. Ma Mmụọ Nsọ nʼonwe ya ji ịsụ ude nke ọnụ apụghị ịkọ na-arịọrọ anyị arịrịọ.
27 He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes on behalf of the saints according to the will of God.
Chineke, onye na-enyocha obi mmadụ, amarala ihe Mmụọ Nsọ bụ nʼuche. Nʼihi na Mmụọ Nsọ na-arịọrọ ndị nsọ niile arịrịọ dịka Chineke si chọọ.
28 We know that for those who love God, he works all things together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Anyị maara na ihe niile na-arụkọta ọrụ maka ọdịmma ndị hụrụ Chineke nʼanya bụ ndị a kpọrọ dịka uche nsọ ya siri dị.
29 Because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
Nʼihi na ndị ahụ ọ maararị ka ọ kakwara akara ka ha nwe ụdịdị nke Ọkpara ya, ka ọ bụrụ nwa e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼetiti ọtụtụ ụmụnna.
30 Those whom he predestined, these he also called. Those whom he called, these he also justified. Those whom he justified, these he also glorified.
Ma ndị ahụ ọ kara akara, ka ọ kpọkwara; ndị ọ kpọrọ, ka ọ gụrụ na ndị ezi omume; ndị ọ gụrụ na ndị ezi omume ka o nyekwara otuto.
31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
Gịnị ọzọ ka anyị ga-ekwu banyere ihe ndị a. Ọ bụrụ na Chineke nọnyere anyị, onye pụrụ imegide anyị?
32 He who did not spare his own Son but delivered him up on behalf of us all, how will he not also with him freely give us all things?
Onye ahụ na-azọghị ndụ Ọkpara ya, kama o weere ya nye nʼihi mmehie anyị niile, ọ dị ihe ọzọ anyị chọrọ ọ na-agaghị enye anyị site na ya?
33 Who will bring any accusation against God's chosen ones? God is the one who justifies.
Onye pụrụ ibo ndị ahụ Chineke họpụtara ebubo? Ọ bụ Chineke na-agụ mmadụ dịka onye ezi omume.
34 Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.
Onye bụ onye ahụ nke ga-ama ikpe? Ọ bụ Kraịst Jisọs onye nwụrụ, ma karịa nke ahụ, onye e mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie, nọ nʼaka nri Chineke na-arịọtakwara anyị arịrịọ.
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
Onye nwere ike ikewapụ anyị site nʼịhụnanya Kraịst? Ọ bụ nsogbu, ka ọ bụ ihe isi ike, ka ọ bụ mkpagbu. Ka ọ bụ ụnwụ, ka ọ bụ ịgba ọtọ, ka ọ bụ ihe egwu, ka ọ bụ mma agha?
36 Just as it is written, “For your benefit we are killed all day long. We were considered as sheep for the slaughter.”
Dịka e dere ya, “Ọ bụ nʼihi gị ka anyị na ọnwụ ji na-agba mgba ụbọchị niile. A na-ele anyị anya dịka atụrụ a gaje igbu egbu.”
37 In all these things we are more than conquerors through the one who loved us.
Mba, kama nʼime ihe ndị a niile, anyị karịrị ndị mmeri site nʼonye ahụ hụrụ anyị nʼanya.
38 For I have been convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor governments, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe m maara nke ọma, na ọnwụ, maọbụ ndụ, maọbụ ndị mmụọ ozi, maọbụ mmụọ dị iche iche ndị na-achị nʼelu na nʼụwa, maọbụ ike ọchịchịrị dị iche iche, maọbụ ihe dị ugbu a, maọbụ ihe gaje ịbịa,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
maọbụ ịdị elu, maọbụ ịdị omimi, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ e kere eke, agaghị enwe ike ikewapụ anyị site nʼịhụnanya Chineke, nke dị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị.
