Romatɔwo 8

1 Eya ta azɔ la, fɔbubu aɖeke megali na ame siwo le Kristo Yesu me la o,

Ther is then no damnacion to them which are in Christ Iesu which walke not after ye flesshe: but after ye sprete.

2 elabena to Yesu Kristo me la, Gbɔgbɔ si naa agbe la ɖem tso nu vɔ̃ kple ku ƒe se la si me.

For the lawe of the sprete yt bringeth life thorowe Iesus Christ hath delivered me fro the lawe of synne and deeth.

3 Elabena nu si se la mete ŋu wɔ o esi wògbɔdzɔ to ŋutilã me la, Mawu wɔe to Via si wòɖo ɖa le nu vɔ̃ ŋutilã ƒe nɔnɔme me la dzi, eye wòtsɔ eɖokui sa vɔe ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, eye wòbu fɔ nu vɔ̃ le ŋutilã me,

For what the lawe coulde not doo in as moche it was weake because of the flesshe: that performed God and sent his sonne in the similitude of synfull flesshe and by synne daned synne in ye flesshe:

4 be woawu se la ƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye nu le mí ame siwo mezɔna ɖe ŋutilã nu o, negbe le Gbɔgbɔ nu ko la me.

that the rightewesnes requyred of the lawe myght be fulfilled in vs which walke not after the flesshe but after the sprete.

5 Ame siwo zɔna le ŋutilã nu la ƒe susuwo nɔa ŋutilã ƒe nudzodzrowo ŋuti; gake ame siwo zɔna le Gbɔgbɔ la nu la ƒe susuwo nɔa Gbɔgbɔ la ƒe nudzodzrowo ŋu.

For they that are carnall are carnally mynded. But they that are spirituall are gostly mynded.

6 Elabena susu si ŋutilã la kplɔna la nye ku, ke susu si Gbɔgbɔ la kplɔna la nye agbe kple ŋutifafa.

To be carnally mynded is deeth. But to be spiritually mynded is lyfe and peace.

7 Susu si ŋutilã la kplɔna la nye adika na Mawu, elabena mebɔbɔa eɖokui ɖe Mawu ƒe seawo te o, eye mate ŋui hã o.

Because that the flesshly mynde is emnyte agaynst God: for it is not obedient to the lawe of God nether can be.

8 Eya ta ame siwo gale agbe le ŋutilã nu la mate ŋu adze Mawu ŋu o.

So then they yt are geven to the flesshe canot please God.

9 Ke miawo la, mienɔa agbe le ŋutilã nu o, ke boŋ mienɔa agbe le Gbɔgbɔ la nu, ne ele eme be Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ le mia me. Eye ne Kristo ƒe Gbɔgbɔ mele ame aɖe me o la, eya amea menye Kristo tɔ o.

But ye are not geven to the flesshe but to the sprete: yf so be that ye sprite of God dwell in you. If ther be eny man yt hath not ye sprite of Christ ye same is none of his.

10 Ke ne Kristo le mia me la, miaƒe ŋutilã ku le nu vɔ̃ ta, gake Gbɔgbɔ la nye agbe le dzɔdzɔenyenye ŋuti.

Yf Christ be in you the body is deed because of synne: but the sprite is lyfe for rightewesnes sake.

11 Eye ne Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ si fɔ Yesu ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome le agbe le mia me la, ekema ame si fɔ Kristo ɖe tsitre la agbɔ agbe miaƒe ŋutilã siwo kuna la to eƒe Gbɔgbɔ si le agbe le mia me la dzi.

Wherfore if the sprite of him that raysed vppe Iesus fro deeth dwell in you: even he that raysed vp Christ from deeth shall quycken youre mortall bodyes because that this sprite dwelleth in you.

12 Eya ta nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, míenyi fe, gake menye ŋutilã si míenyi fe le, be míanɔ agbe le ŋutilã nu o.

Therfore brethren we are nowe detters not to the flesshe to live after the flesshe.

13 Elabena ne miegale agbe le ŋutilã nu la, miaku; gake ne mietsɔ Gbɔgbɔ la ɖu ŋutilã ƒe nuwɔwɔwo dzi la, mianɔ agbe.

For if ye live after the flesshe ye must dye. But yf ye mortifie the dedes of the body by the helpe of the sprite ye shall lyve.

14 Elabena ame siwo Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ kplɔna la, ame mawoe nye Mawu viwo.

For as many as are led by the sprete of God: they are the sonnes of god.

15 Elabena Gbɔgbɔ si miexɔ la mewɔ mi mienye kluviwo, be miaganɔ vɔvɔ̃m o; ke boŋ Gbɔgbɔ si miexɔ la na vinyenye ƒe ŋusẽ mi, esime míedo ɣli be, “Abba, Fofo.”

For ye have no receaved the sprete of bondage to feare eny moare but ye have receaved the sprite of adopcion wherby we crye Abba father.

16 Gbɔgbɔ la ŋutɔ ɖia ɖase kpena ɖe míaƒe gbɔgbɔ la ŋu be Mawu viwo míenye.

The same sprete certifieth oure sprete yt we are the sonnes of God.

17 Azɔ esi míenye viawo ta la, míezu eƒe kesinɔnuwo ƒe domenyilawo, Mawu ƒe domenyilawo kple ame siwo anyi dome kple Kristo, ne ele alea be míekpe fu kplii, be míakpɔ gome kplii le eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.

Yf we be sonnes we are also heyres the heyres I meane of God and heyres anexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer togedder that we maye be glorified to gedder.

18 Mebuna be fukpekpe siwo me tom míele fifia la mate ŋu asɔ kple ŋutikɔkɔe si wole ɖeɖe ge afia le mía me la o.

For I suppose that the affliccions of this lyfe are not worthy of the glory which shalbe shewed vpon vs.

19 Elabena Mawu ƒe nuwɔwɔwo katã tsɔ dzigbɔɖi kple mɔkpɔkpɔ le Mawu viwo ƒe ɖeɖefia la lalam.

Also the fervent desyre of the creatures abideth lokynge when the sonnes of God shall appere

20 Elabena nuwɔwɔ la le gbegblẽ me, nu si menye eƒe didi o, ke boŋ ame si he gbegblẽ sia vɛ la ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu wònye kple mɔkpɔkpɔ,

because the creatures are subdued to vanyte agaynst their will: but for his will which subdueth them in hope.

21 be nuwɔwɔ la axɔ ablɔɖe tso gbegblẽ ƒe kluvinyenye me age ɖe Mawu viwo ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe ablɔɖe la me.

For ye very creatures shalbe delivered from the bondage of corrupcion into the glorious lybertie of the sonnes of God.

22 Elabena míenya be nuwɔwɔ blibo la katã le veve sem abe fuɖuame ene va se ɖe fifi.

For we knowe that every creature groneth with vs also and travayleth in payne even vnto this tyme.

23 Gake menye eya ɖeɖe koe o, ke boŋ mí ame siwo xɔ Gbɔgbɔ ƒe ŋgɔgbenu la, míawo hã míele ŋeŋem le mía ɖokuiwo me hele vinyenye si nye míaƒe ŋutilã ƒe ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ la lalam.

Not they only but even we also which have the fyrst frutes of the sprite morne in oureselves and wayte for the (adopcio) and loke for the delivraunce of oure bodyes.

24 Elabena woɖe mí to mɔkpɔkpɔ sia me. Gake mɔkpɔkpɔ si kpɔa nu kple ŋku la menye mɔkpɔkpɔ wònye o. Ame kae kpɔa mɔ na nu si su esi xoxo mahã?

For we are savyd by hope. But hope that is sene is no hope. For how can a ma hope for that which he seyth?

25 Gake ne míele mɔ kpɔm na nu si mesu mía si haɖeke o la, míelalanɛ le dzigbɔɖi me.

But and yf we hope for that we se not then do we with pacience abyde for it.

26 Nenema ke Gbɔgbɔ la kpena ɖe mía ŋu le míaƒe gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔ me. Elabena míenyaa nu si ta míado gbe ɖa ɖo gɔ̃ hã o, gake Gbɔgbɔ la ŋutɔ xɔa nya ɖe akɔ ɖe mía nu le ŋeŋe manyagblɔ aɖe me.

Lyke wyse ye sprite also helpeth oure infirmities. For we knowe not what to desyre as we ought: but the sprete maketh intercession mightely for vs with gronynges which canot be expressid with tonge.

27 Ke ame si dzroa míaƒe dziwo me la nyaa nu si Gbɔgbɔ la le didim, elabena Gbɔgbɔ la xɔa nya ɖe akɔ na Mawu ƒe amewo le Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu me.

And he that searcheth the hertes knoweth what is ye meaninge of the sprite: for he maketh intercession for the sayntes accordinge to ye pleasure of god.

28 Ke míenya be le nuwo katã me la, Mawu wɔa nu hena ame siwo lɔ̃nɛ la ƒe nyui, ame siwo woyɔ le eƒe tameɖoɖo ɖi nu.

For we knowe that all thinges worke for the best vnto them yt love God which also are called of purpose.

29 Elabena ame siwo Mawu nya ɖi la, woawo ke wòɖo ɖi be woanɔ Via ƒe nɔnɔme me, be wòanye ŋgɔgbevi le nɔviawo dome.

For those which he knewe before he also ordeyned before yt they shuld be lyke fassioned vnto the shape of his sonne that he myght be ye fyrst begotten sonne amoge many brethren.

30 Eye ame siwo wòɖo ɖi la, woawo ke hã wòyɔ; ame siwo wòyɔ la, woawo wòtso afia na, eye ame siwo wòtso afia na la, woawo ŋuti wòkɔ.

Morover which he apoynted before them he also called. And which he called them also he iustified which he iustified them he also glorified.

31 Nu ka gɔ̃ míagblɔ tso nu siawo ŋu? Ne Mawu le mía dzi la, ame kae ate ŋu atsi tsitre ɖe mía ŋu?

What shall we then saye vnto these thinges? yf god be on oure syde: who can be agaynst vs?

32 Ame si meve eya ŋutɔ Via nu o, ke boŋ wòtsɔe na ɖe mí katã ta la, ɖe matsɔ nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe hã ana mí oa?

which spared not his awne sonne but gave him for vs all: how shall he not wt him geve vs all thinges also?

33 Ame kae ate ŋu atsɔ nya ɖe mí ame siwo Mawu tia na eɖokui la ŋu? Mawue nye afiatsola.

Who shall laye eny thinge to ye charge of goddes chosen? it is god that iustifieth:

34 Ekema ame kae abu fɔ mí? Ame aɖeke mabu fɔ mí o. Kristo Yesue nye ame si ku; ke nu si gawu lae nye be eyae wofɔ ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome, eye wònɔ anyi ɖe Mawu ƒe nuɖusime, eye wòle kuku ɖem ɖe mía ta le dziƒo.

who then shall condempne? it is Christ which is deed ye rather which is rysen agayne which is also on the ryght honde of God and maketh intercession for vs.

35 Nu kae ama mí ɖa tso Kristo ƒe lɔlɔ̃ gbɔ? Fuwɔame loo alo xaxa? Yometiti loo alo dɔwuamea? Amamanɔnɔ loo, dzɔgbevɔ̃e loo, alo yia?

Who shall seperate vs fro the love of god? shall tribulacion? or anguysshe? or persecucion? other honger? other nakednesse? other parell? other swearde?

36 Abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi ene be, “Le tawò míeɖoa ku ƒe xaxawo me le ŋkeke blibo la me; wobua mí abe alẽ siwo wokplɔ yina wuwu ge la ene.”

As it is written: For thy sake are we kylled all daye longe and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne.

37 Gake le nu siawo katã me la, míeɖu dzi glo le ame si lɔ̃ mí la me.

Neverthelesse in all these thinges we overcome strongly thorow his helpe that loved vs.

38 Elabena menyae keŋ be eɖanye ku o, eɖanye agbe o; eɖanye mawudɔlawo o, eɖanye gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo o; eɖanye nu siwo li fifia o, eɖanye nu siwo le vava ge o, eɖanye ŋusẽwo o,

Ye and I am sure that nether deeth nether lyfe nether angels nor rule nether power nether thinges present nether thinges to come

39 eɖanye kɔkɔƒe o, eɖanye gogloƒe o, alo nuwɔwɔ bubu aɖe o, womate ŋu ama mí ɖa tso Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃ si le Kristo Yesu, míaƒe Aƒetɔ me la gbɔ o.

nether heyth nether loweth nether eny other creature shalbe able to departe vs fro ye love of God shewed in Christ Iesu oure lorde.
