Aroma 8
1 Nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, andũ arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ o ti a kũherithio,
For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.
2 tondũ nĩ kũgerera harĩ Jesũ Kristũ watho wa Roho ũrĩa ũheaga muoyo wanjohorire kuuma kũrĩ wĩhia na gĩkuũ.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 Nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũrĩa watho wa Musa ũtangĩahotire gwĩka nĩ ũndũ wa kwagithio hinya nĩ mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia-rĩ, Ngai nĩekire ũndũ ũcio na ũndũ wa gũtũma Mũriũ wake mwene arĩ na mwĩrĩ ũhaanaine na mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia, nĩgeetha atuĩke igongona rĩa kũhoroheria mehia. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtuĩra wĩhia ũrĩa warĩ thĩinĩ wa mũndũ ũrĩa wĩhagia ciira,
For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:
4 nĩgeetha maũndũ ma ũthingu marĩa mathanĩtwo nĩ watho mahingio thĩinĩ witũ, ithuĩ arĩa tũtatũũraga kũringana na mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia, no tũtũũraga kũringana na Roho.
So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.
5 Andũ arĩa matũũraga kũringana na mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia meciiragia o maũndũ marĩa mwĩrĩ ũcio wendaga; no arĩa matũũraga kũringana na Roho meciiragia o maũndũ marĩa mendagwo nĩ Roho.
For those who are living in the way of the flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit.
6 Meciiria ma mũndũ mwĩhia marehaga gĩkuũ, no meciiria marĩa maathagwo nĩ Roho marehaga muoyo na thayũ;
For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
7 meciiria marĩa mehagia marĩ ũthũ na Ngai. Meciiria macio matiathĩkagĩra watho wa Ngai, o na matingĩhota gwĩka ũguo.
Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:
8 Andũ arĩa maathagwo nĩ mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia matingĩhota gũkenia Ngai.
So that those who are in the flesh are not able to give pleasure to God.
9 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiathagwo nĩ mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia, no mwathagwo nĩ Roho, angĩkorwo Roho wa Ngai atũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũtarĩ na Roho wa Kristũ-rĩ, ũcio ti wa Kristũ.
You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.
10 No angĩkorwo Kristũ arĩ thĩinĩ wanyu-rĩ, mĩĩrĩ yanyu nĩmĩkuũ nĩ ũndũ wa mehia, no maroho manyu marĩ muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu.
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 Na ningĩ angĩkorwo Roho wa Ngai ũrĩa wariũkirie Jesũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ atũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu-rĩ, o we ũcio wariũkirie Kristũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ nĩagatũma mĩĩrĩ ĩyo yanyu ĩkuaga ĩgĩe na muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa Roho wake, ũcio ũtũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu.
But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ithuĩ tũrĩ na thiirĩ, no ti thiirĩ kũrĩ mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia, atĩ nĩguo tũtũũrage kũringana na ũrĩa wendaga.
So then, my brothers, we are in debt, not to the flesh to be living in the way of the flesh:
13 Nĩgũkorwo mũngĩtũũra kũringana na ũrĩa mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia wendaga-rĩ, nĩmũgakua, no mũngĩũraga ciĩko icio njũru cia mwĩrĩ na hinya wa Roho-rĩ, nĩmũgatũũra muoyo,
For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.
14 tondũ andũ arĩa othe matongoragio nĩ Roho wa Ngai acio nĩo ciana cia Ngai.
And all those who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15 Nĩgũkorwo mũtiaheirwo roho wa kũmũtua ngombo rĩngĩ nĩguo mwĩtigagĩre, no mwaheirwo Roho wa kũmũtua ciana ciake cia kwĩrererwo. Na nĩguo ũtũmaga twanĩrĩre tũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Abba, Baba.”
For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.
16 Roho Mũtheru we mwene nĩwe mũira hamwe na maroho maitũ atĩ ithuĩ tũrĩ ciana cia Ngai.
The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:
17 Rĩu-rĩ, angĩkorwo tũrĩ ciana ciake-rĩ, tũkĩrĩ agai, tũgatuĩka o agai a kũgaya Ngai, na agai hamwe na Kristũ, angĩkorwo ti-itherũ nĩtũgwatanagĩra nake mĩnyamaro yake nĩguo tũkaahota kũgwatanĩra riiri wake o naguo.
And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.
18 Nguona atĩ mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa tũrĩ nayo rĩu ndĩngĩringithanio na riiri ũrĩa tũkaaguũrĩrio.
I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future.
19 Indo iria ciombirwo itũũraga cietereire kũguũranĩrio gwa ciana cia Ngai irĩ na gũthethũka kũnene.
For the strong desire of every living thing is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.
20 Nĩgũkorwo ciũmbe icio ciathĩrĩirio itũũre itarĩ kĩene na ti ũndũ wa gwĩthuurĩra cio nyene, no nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kwa ũrĩa waciathĩrĩirie itũũre irĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro,
For every living thing was put under the power of change, not by its desire, but by him who made it so, in hope
21 atĩ ciũmbe cio nyene nĩigakũũrwo kuuma ũkombo-inĩ wa kũbutha, ikinye wĩyathi-inĩ wa riiri wa ciana cia Ngai.
That all living things will be made free from the power of death and will have a part with the free children of God in glory.
22 Nĩtũũĩ atĩ nginyagia rĩu ciũmbe icio ciothe itũire icaayaga irĩ na ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩheo mwana.
For we are conscious that all living things are weeping and sorrowing in pain together till now.
23 Na to indo icio icaayaga, no o na ithuĩ arĩa tũrĩ na maciaro ma mbere ma Roho, nĩtũcaayaga ngoro-inĩ ciitũ thĩinĩ, twetereire hĩndĩ ĩkinye ya gũtuuo ciana cia Ngai, na nĩkuo gũkũũrwo kwa mĩĩrĩ iitũ kuuma ũkombo-inĩ.
And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.
24 Nĩgũkorwo twahonokirio nĩ ũndũ wa kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩu. No rĩrĩ, kwĩrĩgĩrĩra kĩndũ kĩoneku-rĩ, kĩu ti kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kũrĩ. Nũũ wĩrĩgagĩrĩra kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo?
For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?
25 No rĩrĩ, tũngĩkorwo twĩrĩgĩrĩire kĩrĩa tũtarĩ nakĩo-rĩ, tũgĩetagĩrĩra o tũkirĩrĩirie.
But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it.
26 O ũndũ ũmwe, Roho nake nĩatũteithagia nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa tũtarĩ hinya. Ithuĩ tũtiũĩ kĩrĩa twagĩrĩirwo nĩkũhooya, no Roho we mwene nĩatũthaithanagĩrĩra arĩ na mũcaayo ũtangĩgweteka na ciugo.
And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;
27 Nake Ngai ũrĩa ũthuthuuragia ngoro ciitũ nĩoĩ meciiria ma Roho, tondũ Roho nĩwe ũthaithanagĩrĩra andũ arĩa aamũre kũringana na ũrĩa Ngai endete.
And he who is the searcher of hearts has knowledge of the mind of the Spirit, because he is making prayers for the saints in agreement with the mind of God.
28 Ningĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ harĩ andũ arĩa mendete Ngai, o arĩa metĩtwo nĩwe kũringana na ũrĩa aathugundĩte-rĩ, maũndũ mothe mateithanagia hamwe mamarehere kĩrathimo.
And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.
29 Nĩgũkorwo acio Ngai aamenyete o tene-rĩ, nĩo aathĩrĩirie matuĩke a kũhaananio na mũhianĩre wa Mũrũwe, nĩguo atuĩke irigithathi harĩ andũ aingĩ a Ithe ũmwe.
Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:
30 Nao acio aathĩrĩirie o mbere, nĩo eetire; nao acio eetire, nĩo aatuire athingu; nao acio aatuire athingu, nĩo aahumbire riiri.
And those who were marked out by him were named; and those who were named were given righteousness; and to those to whom he gave righteousness, in the same way he gave glory.
31 Tũkiuge atĩa ũhoro ũkoniĩ maũndũ macio? Angĩkorwo Ngai arĩ mwena witũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩkĩhota gũtũtuma ũthũ?
What may we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
32 Ũcio ũtaigana gũcaĩra Mũriũ wake mwene, no akĩmũneana nĩ ũndũ witũ ithuothe, na rĩrĩ, agĩtũheete ũcio-rĩ, angĩkĩrega atĩa gũtũtaanahĩra na indo iria ingĩ ciothe?
He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?
33 Nũũ ũngĩona ũndũ wa gũthitangĩra andũ arĩa Ngai ethuurĩire? Nĩ Ngai ũmatuĩte atĩ matirĩ na mahĩtia.
Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil;
34 Nũũ ũngĩhota kũmatua ehia? Gũtirĩ! Kristũ Jesũ, o we ũrĩa wakuire, na akĩriũka akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, nĩwe ũikarĩte guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ngai agĩtũthaithanĩrĩra.
Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.
35 Nũũ ũngĩtũtigithania na wendani wa Kristũ? Anga nĩ kuona thĩĩna, kana kwĩhĩrwo nĩ ruo, kana nĩkũnyariirwo, kana ngʼaragu, kana kwaga nguo, kana ũgwati, o na kana rũhiũ rwa njora?
Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain, or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?
36 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Tũtindaga tũkĩũragwo o mũthenya wothe nĩ ũndũ waku; tũtuuagwo ta ngʼondu cia gũthĩnjwo.”
As it is said in the holy Writings, Because of you we are put to death every day; we are like sheep ready for destruction.
37 No rĩrĩ, o na tũkĩonaga maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, ithuĩ tũrĩ makĩria ma atooria nĩ ũndũ wa ũcio watwendire.
But we are able to overcome all these things and more through his love.
38 Nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩkĩtie kũmenya kũna atĩ o na kũngĩtuĩka nĩ ũhoro wa gũkua kana gũtũũra muoyo, o na kana araika kana ndaimono, o na kana ũhoro wa mahinda maya kana marĩa magooka, o na kana maahinya o na marĩkũ,
For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or things present, or things to come, or powers,
39 o na kana ũraihu wa na igũrũ kana ũriku, o na kana kĩndũ kĩngĩ o gĩothe kĩa iria ciombirwo: gũtirĩ o na kĩmwe kĩngĩhota gũtũtigithania na wendani wa Ngai, ũcio ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, Mwathani witũ.
Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
