Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;
Ya mere, ikpe ọmụma ọbụla adịghịkwa ugbu a nye ndị niile nọ nʼime Jisọs Kraịst.
2 for the Spirit's Law-- telling of Life in Christ Jesus--has set me free from the Law that deals only with 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 was impossible to the Law--powerless as it was because it acted through frail humanity--God effected. Sending His own Son in a body like that of sinful human nature and as a sacrifice for sin, He pronounced sentence upon sin in human nature;
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 in order that in our case the requirements of the Law might be fully met. For our lives are regulated not by our earthly, but by our spiritual natures.
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 For if men are controlled by their earthly natures, they give their minds to earthly things. If they are controlled by their spiritual natures, they give their minds to spiritual things.
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 Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means 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 Abandonment to earthly things is a state of enmity to God. Such a mind does not submit to God's Law, and indeed cannot 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 And those whose hearts are absorbed in earthly things cannot please God.
Ya mere, ndị na-erubere anụ ahụ ha isi apụghị ime ihe ga-atọ Chineke ụtọ.
9 You, however, are not devoted to earthly, but to spiritual things, if the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you; whereas if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, such a one 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 But if Christ is in you, though your body must die because of sin, yet your spirit has Life because of 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 And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells 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 Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.
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 so live, death is near; but if, through being under the sway of the spirit, you are putting your old bodily habits to death, 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 those who are led by God's Spirit are, all of them, God's sons.
Nʼihi na ndị niile Mmụọ nke Chineke na-achị bụ ụmụ Chineke.
15 You have not for the second time acquired the consciousness of being--a consciousness which fills you with terror. But you have acquired a deep inward conviction of having been adopted as sons--a conviction which prompts us to cry aloud, "Abba! our 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, along with our own spirits, to the fact 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 and if children, then heirs too--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ; if indeed we are sharers in Christ's sufferings, in order that we may also be sharers in His glory.
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 Why, what we now suffer I count as nothing in comparison with the glory which is soon to be manifested in 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 all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation 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 fell into subjection to failure and unreality (not of its own choice, but by the will of Him who so subjected it).
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 Yet there was always the hope that at last the Creation itself would also be set free from the thraldom of decay so as to enjoy the liberty that will attend 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 of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.
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 And more than that, we ourselves, though we possess the Spirit as a foretaste and pledge of the glorious future, yet we ourselves inwardly sigh, as we wait and long for open recognition as sons through the deliverance of our bodies.
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 It is in hope that we have been saved. But an object of hope is such no longer when it is present to view; for when a man has a thing before his eyes, how can he be said to hope for it?
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 hope for something which we do not see, then we eagerly and patiently wait for it.
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 us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words,
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 and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit's meaning is, because His intercessions for God's people are in harmony with God's will.
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 Now we know that for those who love God all things are working together for good--for those, I mean, whom with deliberate purpose He has called.
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 For those whom He has known beforehand He has also pre-destined to bear the likeness of His Son, that He might be the Eldest in a vast family of 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 and those whom He has pre-destined He also has called; and those whom He has called He has also declared free from guilt; and those whom He has declared free from guilt He has also crowned with glory.
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 to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear 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 withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, 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 shall impeach those whom God has chosen? God declares them free from guilt.
Onye pụrụ ibo ndị ahụ Chineke họpụtara ebubo? Ọ bụ Chineke na-agụ mmadụ dịka onye ezi omume.
34 Who is there to condemn them? Christ Jesus died, or rather has risen to life again. He is also at the right hand of God, and 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 shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger or the 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 As it stands written in the Scripture, "For Thy sake they are, all day long, trying to kill us. We have been looked upon as sheep destined for 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 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who has loved us.
Mba, kama nʼime ihe ndị a niile, anyị karịrị ndị mmeri site nʼonye ahụ hụrụ anyị nʼanya.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither the lower ranks of evil angels nor the higher, neither things present nor things future, nor the forces of nature,
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 rests upon us 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.
