Romans 7
1 Are ye ignorant, brethren — for to those knowing law I speak — that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?
Koso ukia, owetena, nikech awuoyo gi joma ongʼeyo chik, ni chik otweyo ngʼato mana ka pod ongima?
2 for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;
Kuom ranyisi, dhako mokendi Chik otweyo gi chwore mana ka chwore pod ngima; to ka chwore otho, to ogonye e chik mar kend.
3 so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.
Kamano bende, ibiro luong dhakono ni jachode ka odak gi dichwo machielo ka chwore pod ngima. To ka chwore otho, to ogonye kuom chikno kendo ka dichwo machielo okende to ok kwane kaka jachode.
4 So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;
Kamano owetena, un bende, usetho korka chik kuom ringre Kristo, mondo koro ubed jo-ngʼat machielo, ma en Jal mosechier oa kuom joma otho, mondo eka wanyag olemo ne Nyasaye.
5 for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that [are] through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;
Nimar kane pod ringruok chikowa, chik ne chiewo gombowa maricho, kendo negitiyoe ringrewa, omiyo ne wanyago olemo makelo tho.
6 and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
To sani, nikech wasetho ne gima notweyowa chon, mondo wabed wasumbini, ok manie bwo chik machon mondiki, to manie ngima manyien kuom Roho.
7 What, then, shall we say? the law [is] sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:
Kare koro wanyalo wacho angʼo? Chik en richo koso? Ok kamano ngangʼ! Adiera, dine ok angʼeyo gima richo en ka dine onge chik. Nimar bende dine ok angʼeyo gima chik en ka dine ok owacho niya, “Kik igombi gir wadu.”
8 'Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness — for apart from law sin is dead.
To richo nokawo thuolo mane chik okelo mopidho kit gombo mayoreyore kuoma nimar ka chik onge to richo otho.
9 And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;
Mokwongo kane chik onge, to ne angima, to ka Chik nobiro, to richo nochier kuoma mi atho.
10 and the command that [is] for life, this was found by me for death;
Nanwangʼo ni chikno, mane onego okel ngima, nolokore mokelo tho.
11 for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay [me];
Nimar richo nokawo thuolo mane chik okelo, mowuonda, kendo okonyore gi chikno mondo onega.
12 so that the law, indeed, [is] holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.
Omiyo Chik ler, kendo chike moketi bende ler, kendo nikare, to kendo ber.
13 That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,
Dibed ni gima ber ema nomiyo atho koso? Ok kamano kata matin! Richo notiyo gi gima ber, mi onega, mondo richo ongʼere malongʼo ni en angʼo. Kamano chik nyiso ni richo en gima rach moloyo.
14 for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;
Wangʼeyo ni Chik en gir chuny; to an ngʼat ringruok, kendo richo osengʼiewa moloka misumbane.
15 for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.
Gik ma atimo odhiera ngʼeyo. Nimar ok atim gik ma adwaro, to atimo mana gik ma ok adwar.
16 And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that [it is] good,
Koro ka atimo gik ma ok adwar, to mano nyiso ni Chik ber.
17 and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,
Chutho, an ok ema atim gino, to richo manie iya ema time.
18 for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,
Angʼeyo ni onge gimoro kata achiel maber manie iya, tiende ni, kita mar richo. Nimar an-gi gombo mar timo gima ber to ok anyal time.
19 for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.
Nimar ok atim gima ber ma adwaro mondo atim to asiko atimo mana gima rach.
20 And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.
Koro ka atimo gima ok adwar timo, to koro an ok ema atime, to richo modak e iya ema time.
21 I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,
Omiyo ayudo chikni katiyo: Ni ka adwaro timo gima ber, to apo ka rach bende ni koda.
22 for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,
Nimar ei chunya maiye amor gi chik Nyasaye;
23 and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that [is] in my members.
to aneno chik machielo katiyo e fuonde mag ringra makedo gi chik manie chunya, mamiyo abedo misumba Chik mar richo manie fuondena.
24 A wretched man I [am]! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?
Mano kaka an ngʼama chandore! En ngʼa mabiro resa kuom ringruokni mar tho?
25 I thank God — through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.
Erokamano ne Nyasaye kuom Yesu Kristo Ruodhwa! Kuom mano, an awuon gi ei pacha an misumba mar chik Nyasaye, to kuom kita mar richo, an misumba mar chik mar richo.
