< Aroma 8 >

1 Nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, andũ arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ o ti a kũherithio,
There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.
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, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of 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 could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned 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.
That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to 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 they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.
6 Meciiria ma mũndũ mwĩhia marehaga gĩkuũ, no meciiria marĩa maathagwo nĩ Roho marehaga muoyo na thayũ;
For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom 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 wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither can it be.
8 Andũ arĩa maathagwo nĩ mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia matingĩhota gũkenia Ngai.
And they who are in the flesh, cannot please 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.
But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none 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 be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin; but the spirit liveth, because of justification.
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.
And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
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.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to 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 live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
14 tondũ andũ arĩa othe matongoragio nĩ Roho wa Ngai acio nĩo ciana cia Ngai.
For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the 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 have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).
16 Roho Mũtheru we mwene nĩwe mũira hamwe na maroho maitũ atĩ ithuĩ tũrĩ ciana cia Ngai.
For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons 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 sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
18 Nguona atĩ mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa tũrĩ nayo rĩu ndĩngĩringithanio na riiri ũrĩa tũkaaguũrĩrio.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.
19 Indo iria ciombirwo itũũraga cietereire kũguũranĩrio gwa ciana cia Ngai irĩ na gũthethũka kũnene.
For the expectation of the creature waiteth 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 the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:
21 atĩ ciũmbe cio nyene nĩigakũũrwo kuuma ũkombo-inĩ wa kũbutha, ikinye wĩyathi-inĩ wa riiri wa ciana cia Ngai.
Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 Nĩtũũĩ atĩ nginyagia rĩu ciũmbe icio ciothe itũire icaayaga irĩ na ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩheo mwana.
For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even 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 it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
24 Nĩgũkorwo twahonokirio nĩ ũndũ wa kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩu. No rĩrĩ, kwĩrĩgĩrĩra kĩndũ kĩoneku-rĩ, kĩu ti kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kũrĩ. Nũũ wĩrĩgagĩrĩra kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo?
For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?
25 No rĩrĩ, tũngĩkorwo twĩrĩgĩrĩire kĩrĩa tũtarĩ nakĩo-rĩ, tũgĩetagĩrĩra o tũkirĩrĩirie.
But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.
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.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.
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 that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to 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 know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
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.
For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.
30 Nao acio aathĩrĩirie o mbere, nĩo eetire; nao acio eetire, nĩo aatuire athingu; nao acio aatuire athingu, nĩo aahumbire riiri.
And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 Tũkiuge atĩa ũhoro ũkoniĩ maũndũ macio? Angĩkorwo Ngai arĩ mwena witũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩkĩhota gũtũtuma ũthũ?
What shall we then say to these things? If God be 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 that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?
33 Nũũ ũngĩona ũndũ wa gũthitangĩra andũ arĩa Ngai ethuurĩire? Nĩ Ngai ũmatuĩte atĩ matirĩ na mahĩtia.
Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God that justifieth.
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 is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died, yea that is risen also again; who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
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 then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? 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 written: For thy sake we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)
37 No rĩrĩ, o na tũkĩonaga maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, ithuĩ tũrĩ makĩria ma atooria nĩ ũndũ wa ũcio watwendire.
But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.
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 sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might,
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.
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
