Aroma 6
1 Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, tũkiuge atĩa? Nĩ tũtũũre o twĩhagia nĩgeetha wega wa Ngai ũingĩhage?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue still in sinne, that grace may abounde? God forbid.
2 Hĩ! Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Ithuĩ-rĩ, nĩtwakuire ũhoro-inĩ wa wĩhia; twakĩhota atĩa gũcooka gũtũũra thĩinĩ waguo?
Howe shall we, that are dead to sinne, liue yet therein?
3 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ ithuĩ othe arĩa twabatithirio thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ twabatithirio thĩinĩ wa gĩkuũ gĩake?
Knowe ye not, that all we which haue bene baptized into Iesus Christ, haue bene baptized into his death?
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, twabatithio nĩgũthikwo twathikirwo hamwe nake gĩkuũ-inĩ gĩake, nĩgeetha o ta ũrĩa Kristũ aariũkirio kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ nĩ hinya wa riiri wa Ithe, o na ithuĩ tũtũũre na mũtũũrĩre mwerũ.
We are buried then with him by baptisme into his death, that like as Christ was raysed vp from the dead to the glorie of the Father, so we also should walke in newnesse of life.
5 Angĩkorwo nĩtũnyiitithanĩtio nake ũguo thĩinĩ wa gĩkuũ gĩake-rĩ, hatirĩ nganja nĩtũkanyiitithanio nake thĩinĩ wa kũriũka gwake.
For if we be planted with him to the similitude of his death, euen so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection,
6 Nĩgũkorwo nĩtũũĩ atĩ mũndũ witũ wa tene nĩambirwo hamwe nake nĩgeetha mwĩrĩ ũyũ wa mehia weherio, nĩguo tũtikanacooke gũtuĩka ngombo cia mehia,
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sinne might be destroied, that henceforth we should not serue sinne.
7 tondũ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrĩkĩtie gũkua nĩatigithanĩtio na mehia.
For he that is dead, is freed from sinne.
8 Na rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo nĩtwakuire hamwe na Kristũ-rĩ, nĩtwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ nĩtũgatũũra muoyo hamwe nake.
Wherefore, if we bee dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shall liue also with him,
9 Nĩgũkorwo nĩtũũĩ atĩ tondũ Kristũ nĩariũkirio akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaacooka gũkua; gĩkuũ gĩtirĩ na hinya wa kũmwatha rĩngĩ.
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion ouer him.
10 Gĩkuũ kĩrĩa aakuire, aakuĩrĩire ũhoro wa mehia o riita rĩmwe rĩa kũigana; no muoyo ũrĩa atũũraga-rĩ, atũũraga nĩ ũndũ wa riiri wa Ngai.
For in that hee died, hee died once to sinne but in that he liueth, he liueth to God.
11 O na inyuĩ, o ũndũ ũmwe mwĩonagei atĩ nĩmũkuĩte ũhoro-inĩ wa mehia, na atĩ mũtũũraga muoyo mũrĩ ngwatanĩro na Ngai thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
Likewise thinke ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are aliue to God in Iesus Christ our Lord.
12 Tondũ ũcio, mũtikanareke mehia mathamakage thĩinĩ wa mĩĩrĩ yanyu ĩyo ĩkuaga, atĩ nĩguo mwathĩkagĩre merirĩria mooru mayo.
Let not sinne reigne therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in ye lusts therof:
13 Ningĩ mũtikananeane ciĩga cia mĩĩrĩ yanyu mehia-inĩ, atĩ nĩguo ituĩke ta indo cia kũhũthĩrwo cia kwagana nacio, no nĩ kaba mwĩheanage kũrĩ Ngai, mũhaana ta andũ marutĩtwo gĩkuũ-inĩ makarehwo muoyo-inĩ na mũneanage ciĩga icio cia mĩĩrĩ yanyu kũrĩ we nĩguo ituĩke ta indo cia kũhũthĩrwo na gwĩka maũndũ ma ũthingu.
Neither giue ye your members, as weapons of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but giue your selues vnto God, as they that are aliue from the dead, and giue your members as weapons of righteousnesse vnto God.
14 Mũtigatuĩke a gwathagwo nĩ mehia, tondũ inyuĩ mũtirĩ agũthamakagĩrwo nĩ watho, no mũrĩ agũthamakagĩrwo nĩ wega wa Ngai.
For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you: for ye are not vnder ye Lawe, but vnder grace.
15 Tũkiuge atĩa? Kuona atĩ tũtirĩ rungu rwa watho no tũrĩ rungu rwa wega wa Ngai-rĩ, nĩtũtũũre twĩhagia? Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!
What then? shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the Law, but vnder grace? God forbid.
16 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ rĩrĩa mweheana kũrĩ mũndũ nĩguo mũtuĩke ngombo mũmwathĩkagĩre-rĩ, inyuĩ mũkĩrĩ o ngombo cia ũcio mwathĩkagĩra: mũrĩ ngombo cia mehia marĩa merekagĩria mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ, kana mũrĩ ngombo cia wathĩki ũrĩa ũrehaga ũthingu?
Knowe ye not, that to whomsoeuer yee giue your selues as seruats to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?
17 No Ngai arocookerio ngaatho, tondũ o na gũtuĩka inyuĩ mwarĩ ngombo cia mehia-rĩ, rĩu nĩmwathĩkĩire na ngoro yothe ũrutani ũrĩa mwehokeirwo.
But God be thanked, that ye haue beene the seruants of sinne, but yee haue obeyed from the heart vnto the forme of the doctrine, wherunto ye were deliuered.
18 Inyuĩ nĩmũrĩkĩtie kuohorwo mũkoima mehia-inĩ, mũgacooka gũtuĩka ngombo cia ũthingu.
Being then made free from sinne, yee are made the seruants of righteousnesse.
19 Ndĩraaria ũhoro ũyũ ngĩũgerekanagia na maũndũ ma andũ tondũ inyuĩ nĩmwagĩte hinya mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wanyu wa ndũire. O ta ũrĩa mwatũire mũneanaga ciĩga cianyu cia mĩĩrĩ ituĩke ngombo kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa matarĩ ma ũtheru o na ma waganu ũrĩa ũtũire wongererekaga-rĩ, rĩu kĩneanei ciĩga cianyu ituĩke ngombo cia ũthingu nĩguo mũgaatuĩka andũ atheru.
I speake after the maner of man, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue giuen your members seruants to vncleannes and to iniquitie, to commit iniquitie, so now giue your mebers seruants vnto righteousnesse in holinesse.
20 Rĩrĩa mwarĩ ngombo cia mehia-rĩ, mũtiathagwo nĩ ũthingu.
For when ye were the seruants of sinne, ye were freed from righteousnesse.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo muonaga uumithio ũrĩkũ kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa matũmaga rĩu mũconoke? Maũndũ macio marigĩrĩrio-inĩ marehaga gĩkuũ!
What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those things is death.
22 No rĩu tondũ nĩmwohoretwo mũkoima mehia-inĩ na mũgatuĩka ngombo cia Ngai-rĩ, uumithio ũrĩa muonaga ũmwerekagĩria ũtheru-inĩ, na maciaro maguo nĩ muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
But now being freed from sinne, and made seruants vnto God, ye haue your fruit in holines, and the end, euerlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
