Aroma 6
1 Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, tũkiuge atĩa? Nĩ tũtũũre o twĩhagia nĩgeetha wega wa Ngai ũingĩhage?
WHAT, then, shall we say, Let us remain in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Hĩ! Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Ithuĩ-rĩ, nĩtwakuire ũhoro-inĩ wa wĩhia; twakĩhota atĩa gũcooka gũtũũra thĩinĩ waguo?
Not so. For how shall they who are dead to sin live yet in it?
3 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ ithuĩ othe arĩa twabatithirio thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ twabatithirio thĩinĩ wa gĩkuũ gĩake?
Or do you not know, that they who have been baptized into Jeshu Meshiha, into his death have been baptized?
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.
For we are buried with him by baptism into death; that as Jeshu Meshiha arose from among the dead by the glory of his Father, so also we in a new life shall walk.
5 Angĩkorwo nĩtũnyiitithanĩtio nake ũguo thĩinĩ wa gĩkuũ gĩake-rĩ, hatirĩ nganja nĩtũkanyiitithanio nake thĩinĩ wa kũriũka gwake.
For if together we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so also in his resurrection shall we be.
6 Nĩgũkorwo nĩtũũĩ atĩ mũndũ witũ wa tene nĩambirwo hamwe nake nĩgeetha mwĩrĩ ũyũ wa mehia weherio, nĩguo tũtikanacooke gũtuĩka ngombo cia mehia,
For we know that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that more we should not serve sin.
7 tondũ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrĩkĩtie gũkua nĩatigithanĩtio na mehia.
For he who is dead is set free from sin.
8 Na rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo nĩtwakuire hamwe na Kristũ-rĩ, nĩtwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ nĩtũgatũũra muoyo hamwe nake.
If then we are dead with the Meshiha, we believe that with him, with the Meshiha, we shall live:
9 Nĩgũkorwo nĩtũũĩ atĩ tondũ Kristũ nĩariũkirio akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaacooka gũkua; gĩkuũ gĩtirĩ na hinya wa kũmwatha rĩngĩ.
for we know that the Meshiha rose from among the dead, and no more dieth, nor hath death dominion over 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 he who died on account of sin died once, and he who liveth liveth unto Aloha;
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.
so also reckon yourselves to be dead unto sin, and alive unto Aloha by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
12 Tondũ ũcio, mũtikanareke mehia mathamakage thĩinĩ wa mĩĩrĩ yanyu ĩyo ĩkuaga, atĩ nĩguo mwathĩkagĩre merirĩria mooru mayo.
Let not sin then reign in your dead body, as that you may obey the lusts of it:
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.
nor prepare your members the instruments of iniquity unto sin, but prepare yourselves for Aloha, as men who from the dead have been made alive, and your members instruments to be for the righteousness of Aloha.
14 Mũtigatuĩke a gwathagwo nĩ mehia, tondũ inyuĩ mũtirĩ agũthamakagĩrwo nĩ watho, no mũrĩ agũthamakagĩrwo nĩ wega wa Ngai.
For sin shall not rule over you; for you are not under law, but under 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 sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? Not so.
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?
Know you not, that to whomsoever you prepare yourselves to obey him unto service, of him you are the servants, of him whom you obey; whether of sin, or of the hearing of the ear of righteousness?
17 No Ngai arocookerio ngaatho, tondũ o na gũtuĩka inyuĩ mwarĩ ngombo cia mehia-rĩ, rĩu nĩmwathĩkĩire na ngoro yothe ũrutani ũrĩa mwehokeirwo.
But praise to Aloha that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you have been delivered.
18 Inyuĩ nĩmũrĩkĩtie kuohorwo mũkoima mehia-inĩ, mũgacooka gũtuĩka ngombo cia ũthingu.
And when you were made free from sin, you became obedient to righteousness.
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.
As among men I speak, because of the infirmity of your flesh, that as you have prepared your members for the service of uncleanness and of iniquity, so also now prepare ye your members for the service of righteousness and of holiness.
20 Rĩrĩa mwarĩ ngombo cia mehia-rĩ, mũtiathagwo nĩ ũthingu.
For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo muonaga uumithio ũrĩkũ kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa matũmaga rĩu mũconoke? Maũndũ macio marigĩrĩrio-inĩ marehaga gĩkuũ!
And what product had you then from that of which to-day you are ashamed? For the end of it 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)
And now made free from sin, and become servants to Aloha, you have holy fruits, of which the end is the life of eternity. (aiōnios g166)
