Aroma 8
1 Nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, andũ arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ o ti a kũherithio,
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (pneuma)
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 (pneuma) 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 could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, 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 righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (pneuma)
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 after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit (pneuma) the things of the Spirit. (pneuma)
6 Meciiria ma mũndũ mwĩhia marehaga gĩkuũ, no meciiria marĩa maathagwo nĩ Roho marehaga muoyo na thayũ;
In order to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually (pneuma) minded 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 carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 Andũ arĩa maathagwo nĩ mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia matingĩhota gũkenia Ngai.
So then they that 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 all of you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, (pneuma) if so be that the Spirit (pneuma) of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit (pneuma) 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 is dead because of sin; but the Spirit (pneuma) 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 (pneuma) of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also retore life in your mortal bodies by his Spirit (pneuma) that dwells 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 after 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 all of you live after the flesh, all of you shall die: but if all of you through the Spirit (pneuma) do mortify the deeds of the body, all of you shall live.
14 tondũ andũ arĩa othe matongoragio nĩ Roho wa Ngai acio nĩo ciana cia Ngai.
For as many as are led by the Spirit (pneuma) 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 all of you have not received the spirit (pneuma) of bondage again to fear; but all of you have received the Spirit (pneuma) of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 Roho Mũtheru we mwene nĩwe mũira hamwe na maroho maitũ atĩ ithuĩ tũrĩ ciana cia Ngai.
The Spirit (pneuma) itself bears witness with our spirit, (pneuma) that we are the 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 children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 Nguona atĩ mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa tũrĩ nayo rĩu ndĩngĩringithanio na riiri ũrĩa tũkaaguũrĩrio.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 Indo iria ciombirwo itũũraga cietereire kũguũranĩrio gwa ciana cia Ngai irĩ na gũthethũka kũnene.
For the earn expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation 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 who has subjected the same 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 itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty 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 the whole creation groans and labors in pain together until 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 they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit, (pneuma) even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to know, 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 sees, why does he yet hope for?
25 No rĩrĩ, tũngĩkorwo twĩrĩgĩrĩire kĩrĩa tũtarĩ nakĩo-rĩ, tũgĩetagĩrĩra o tũkirĩrĩirie.
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait 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.
Likewise the Spirit (pneuma) also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit (pneuma) itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
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 searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, (pneuma) because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will 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 know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to 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.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Nao acio aathĩrĩirie o mbere, nĩo eetire; nao acio eetire, nĩo aatuire athingu; nao acio aatuire athingu, nĩo aahumbire riiri.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, 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 can be 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 his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Nũũ ũngĩona ũndũ wa gũthitangĩra andũ arĩa Ngai ethuurĩire? Nĩ Ngai ũmatuĩte atĩ matirĩ na mahĩtia.
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies.
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 condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that has risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes 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 shall separate us from the love (agape) of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or 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 your sake we are killed 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.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that 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 persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
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 (agape) of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
