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 those who are in Christ Jesus.
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 set you free 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 did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he 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.
so that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk 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 those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, 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 set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on 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 set on the flesh is hostile towards God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.
8 Andũ arĩa maathagwo nĩ mwĩrĩ ũyũ wĩhagia matingĩhota gũkenia Ngai.
And those 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 it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
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 gives 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 raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who 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.
So then, brothers, we have no obligation 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 you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will 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 of God, these 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 receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba. Father."
16 Roho Mũtheru we mwene nĩwe mũira hamwe na maroho maitũ atĩ ithuĩ tũrĩ ciana cia Ngai.
The Spirit himself testifies 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 children, then heirs; heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18 Nguona atĩ mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa tũrĩ nayo rĩu ndĩngĩringithanio na riiri ũrĩa tũkaaguũrĩrio.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed to us.
19 Indo iria ciombirwo itũũraga cietereire kũguũranĩrio gwa ciana cia Ngai irĩ na gũthethũka kũnene.
For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
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 creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
21 atĩ ciũmbe cio nyene nĩigakũũrwo kuuma ũkombo-inĩ wa kũbutha, ikinye wĩyathi-inĩ wa riiri wa ciana cia Ngai.
that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom 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 suffers with labor pains 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 this, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, 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 were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
25 No rĩrĩ, tũngĩkorwo twĩrĩgĩrĩire kĩrĩa tũtarĩ nakĩo-rĩ, tũgĩetagĩrĩra o tũkirĩrĩirie.
But if we hope for that which we do not see, 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.
And in the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with inexpressible 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 who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints in accordance with 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 for those who love God, to those who are 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 foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 Nao acio aathĩrĩirie o mbere, nĩo eetire; nao acio eetire, nĩo aatuire athingu; nao acio aatuire athingu, nĩo aahumbire riiri.
Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
31 Tũkiuge atĩa ũhoro ũkoniĩ maũndũ macio? Angĩkorwo Ngai arĩ mwena witũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩkĩhota gũtũtuma ũthũ?
What then are we to say about these things? If God is 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 who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also 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 could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who 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 who condemns? It is Christ who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is 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 will separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Tũtindaga tũkĩũragwo o mũthenya wothe nĩ ũndũ waku; tũtuuagwo ta ngʼondu cia gũthĩnjwo.”
Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."
37 No rĩrĩ, o na tũkĩonaga maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, ithuĩ tũrĩ makĩria ma atooria nĩ ũndũ wa ũcio watwendire.
No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who 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 rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor 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.
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
