Romans 8

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

Na, kahore e tau te he inaianei ki te hunga i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

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.

Na te ture hoki a te Wairua o te ora i roto i a Karaiti Ihu ahau i atea ai i te ture a te hara, a te mate.

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;

Ko te mea kihai i taea e te ture, he ngoikore nona i te kikokiko, tonoa mai ana e te Atua tana Tama, i te ahua o te kikokiko hara, hei whakahere ano mo te hara, a whakataua ana e ia te he ki te hara i roto i te kikokiko:

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.

Kia rite ai to te ture tikanga i roto i a tatou, kahore nei e haere i runga i ta te kikokiko, engari i ta te Wairua.

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.

Ko te hunga hoki i runga i ta te kikokiko, whakaaro ana ratou ki o te kikokiko; ko te hunga ia i runga i ta te Wairua, ki o te Wairua.

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.

Ko to te kikokiko whakaaro hoki he mate, ko to te Wairua ia he ora, he rangimarie:

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.

He tikanga whawhai hoki ki te Atua te whakaaro ki te kikokiko: e kore nei hoki e ngawari ki te ture a te Atua, kahore ano e ahei kia ngawari:

8 And those whose hearts are absorbed in earthly things cannot please God.

A e kore e taea e te hunga i te kikokiko te whakamanawareka ki te Atua.

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.

Otiia kahore koutou i te kikokiko, engari i te Wairua, ki te mea e noho ana te Wairua o te Atua i roto i a koutou. Ki te kahore ia te Wairua o te Karaiti i tetahi, ehara tenei i a ia.

10 But if Christ is in you, though your body must die because of sin, yet your spirit has Life because of righteousness.

Tena ki te mea kei roto a te Karaiti i a koutou, he tupapaku te tinana i te hara, he ora ia te wairua i te tika.

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.

Ki te noho ia i roto i a koutou te Wairua o te kaiwhakaara o Ihu i te hunga mate, mana, ma te kaiwhakaara o Karaiti Ihu i roto i te hunga mate, e whakaora ake ano o koutou tinana mate ki tona Wairua e noho na i roto i a koutou.

12 Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.

Na reira, e oku teina, kahore he tikanga o te kikokiko kei runga i a tatou, kia whai tatou i tana:

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.

Ki te noho hoki koutou i runga i ta te kikokiko, ka mate koutou; ki te mea ia ka whakamate koutou i nga mahi a te tinana, he mea na te Wairua, ka ora koutou.

14 For those who are led by God's Spirit are, all of them, God's sons.

Ko te hunga hoki e arahina ana e te Wairua o te Atua, he tama ratou na te Atua.

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!"

He teka hoki he wairua pononga kua riro nei i a koutou, e mataku ai ano koutou; engari kua riro i a koutou te Wairua e mea ana i a koutou hei tamariki ake, e karanga ai koutou, E Apa, e Pa.

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness, along with our own spirits, to the fact that we are children of God;

Ko taua Wairua ra ano hei whakaae ake ki o tatou wairua, he tamariki tatou na te Atua:

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.

Ki te mea hoki he tamariki, kati mo tatou te kainga; mo tatou te kainga o te Atua, mo tatou tahi ko te Karaiti; kia mamae rawa ake ai tatou tahi me ia, Ka whakakororiatia ngatahitia tatou me ia.

18 Why, what we now suffer I count as nothing in comparison with the glory which is soon to be manifested in us.

Ki toku whakaaro iho hoki, he kore noa iho nga mamae o tenei wa, ki te whakaritea ki te kororia e whakakitea mai ki a tatou a mua.

19 For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God.

Ko te tumanako hoki o te mea i hanga e tatari ana ki te whakakitenga mai o nga tama a te Atua.

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).

Kua meinga hoki te tekateka noa hei rangatira mo te mea i hanga, ehara i te mea na tenei ake i whakaae, engari na ta te kaiwhakarite i pai ai, i runga i te tumanako,

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.

Tera taua mea i hanga e whakaateatia mai i te whakataurekarekatanga a te pirau, whakarangatiratia ake ki roto ki te kororia o nga tamariki a te Atua.

22 For we know that the whole of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.

E mohio ana hoki tatou, kei te ngunguru tahi, kei te mamae tahi, nga mea hanga katoa taea noatia tenei ra.

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.

Ehara i te mea ko tera anake, engari ko tatou ano hoki kua whiwhi nei ki te hua matamua, ara ki te Wairua, ina, e aue ana hoki tatou i roto i a tatou, e tatari ana ki te whakatamarikitanga, ara ki te whakaoranga o o tatou tinana.

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?

Na te tumanako hoki tatou i ora ai: tena ka kitea te mea e tumanakohia atu ana, kore ake te tumanako: ko wai oti e tumanako ki te mea e kitea nei e ia?

25 But if we hope for something which we do not see, then we eagerly and patiently wait for it.

Ki te tumanako atu ia tatou ki te mea kahore nei e kitea, katahi ka ata taria mariretia atu e tatou.

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,

Waihoki ko te wairua hei hoa mo tatou e ngoikore nei: kahore hoki tatou e matau me pehea e tika ai ta tatou inoi: otiia ko te Wairua tonu ano te inoi ana mo tatou ki ona aue e kore nei e taea te whakahua.

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.

A, ko te kaititiro i nga ngakau, e mohio ana ki te hinengaro o te Wairua, ko tera hoki e inoi ana mo te hunga tapu i runga i ta te Atua i pai ai.

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.

Na e matau ana tatou, kei te mahi tahi nga mea katoa i te pai mo te hunga e aroha ana ki te Atua, ara mo te hunga i karangatia i runga i tana i whakatakoto ai.

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;

Ko ana hoki i mohio ai i mua, E whakaritea ano e ia i mua kia rite ki te ahua o tana Tama, kia ai ia hei maunga i roto i nga teina tokomaha.

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.

A, ko ana i whakarite ai i mua, ko ena ano i karangatia e ia: a, ko ana i karanga ai, ko ena ano i whakatikaia e ia: a, ko ana i whakatika ai, ko ena ano i whakakororiatia e ia.

31 What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us?

Na, kia pehea ta tatou korero ki enei mea? Ki te mea ko te Atua hei hoa mo tatou, ko wai hei whawhai ki a tatou?

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?

Ko ia kihai nei i kaiponu i tana ake Tama, heoi tukua mai ana e ia mo tatou katoa, e kore ianei ia e tapiri noa mai ki a ia i nga mea katoa mo tatou?

33 Who shall impeach those whom God has chosen? God declares them free from guilt.

Ko wai hei whakapa he ki a te Atua i whiriwhiri ai? Ko te Atua ra hei whakatika;

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.

Ko wai ianei hei whakatau he? Ko Karaiti Ihu ra, i mate nei, ae rawa hoki, ko ia ra kua whakaarahia ake nei i te mate, a kei te ringa matau o te Atua, ko ia hoki kei te inoi mo tatou.

35 Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger or the sword?

Ma wai tatou e momotu ke i te aroha o te Karaiti? Ma te whakapawera ranei, ma te mamae, ma te whakatoi, ma e matekai, ma te kakahukore, ma te mate ka tata, ma te hoari ranei?

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."

Ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia, Na te whakaaro ki a koe matou i whakamatea ai i te ra roa nei; kiia ana matou hei hipi e patua ana.

37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who has loved us.

Engari i enei mea katoa hira ake te wikitoria i a tatou, he mea nana i aroha nei ki a tatou.

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,

U tonu hoki toku whakaaro, e kore te mate, te ora ranei, e kore nga anahera, nga rangatiratanga ranei, e kore nga mea onaianei, e kore nga mea e puta mai a mua, e kore nga mana,

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.

E kore te tiketike, e kore te hohonu, e kore tetahi atu mea hanga, e kaha ki te momotu i a tatou i te aroha o te Atua, i tera i roto nei i a Karaiti Ihu, i to tatou Ariki.
