Roma Yaaba 7
1 I ki bani, kelima, n maadi yeni yaaba n bani yiko, ki yiko suani o tuonli hali ki li fagi, o nisaalo yenma nni.
Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
2 L tie nani yiko n yi cabi o pua wan kuni o ja yeni, ama li sua nani k o ja kpe, o ji ki ye yeni yiko tili. Ya yiko kadagu n den taandi wani yeni o ja yeni ji ki suani.
For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
3 O ja da ya ye ki pia li miali, k o siedi ki kuni ja tiano, o tie conconli; ama o ja ya kpe, yiko ji pia nu o po, o ya kuni ja tiano, o ji ki tie conconli.
So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
4 N naataani, li tie yeni i mɔ ya po, yaali n tie yiko po wani, i kpe li kuum n o, ki dugni yinba yeni klistu n bo taani ti gbannandi yeni, i ji pia i diedo, yua n yiedi bi tinkpiiba siigni, ki tin mɔ n ji fidi ki ya suani a tuona U Tienu po yeni.
Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
5 Yen i mɔni, tin mɔn da den ye m kuuma gbannadn yeni, li yiko den kuandi ti ya maalbiidi n den caa yen ti m kuuma po.
For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.
6 Ama mɔlane, ti ji ñani yiko mabl n o, k dugni ti den kpe yeni yaali n den kubi ti dansaligi. Ti ji bu fidi ki sɔni yen U Tienu yeni m maalpanma yaali ki fuoŋanma ŋmagd ti, ki ji cedi m maalkpelima.
But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
7 Ti ji ba yedi be? Yiko tie bonbiili yaa? N n, ya yogunu k n bandi ti biidi ki dugni mi ñɔmaama po i. Tii den bani nunponli li bo ya ki tie ñɔmaama nni ka. Ki da pia nunponli a lielo po.
What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
8 Ti biid ji la o sanu k n ji pia li nunponli ŋanduna ne bona po kuli.
But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 Yayogunu, ki da den bani yiko, n fo, ama min ji te gbadi mi ñɔmaama yayogunu, ki ti biidi yendi n yinyienu k n ji kpe.
Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
10 mi ñɔmaama bo tie ki lan baa yeni li miali, ama ki min ya po, li ba mi kuuma.
So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
11 Ki dugni, ti biidi la o sanu lan kani, ki tugi m ñɔmaama ki bɔndn nni k n kpe li ñɔmaama po.
For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
12 Yiko ji pia jɔngdi ba, ama m ñɔmaama ki pia tagiliba.
So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
13 Yeni ki yaali n den ŋani yen ji ba yen mi kuuma? N n, lan ka. ti biidi n ba yenli. Ti biidi wuoni li bonŋanli ki baadi yen mi kuuma. Li tie yeni ki ti biidi wan yeni, i mɔni wan tie yaali ki mi ñɔmaama mɔ ji cedi ki ti biidi ji ŋan ki yabdi ki pendi.
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 Ti bani ki yiko ñani U Tienu kani, ama min wani tie ya nulo ki bi kuabi ki ñan nni ti biidi nni ki ti biidi ji ŋa nni.
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
15 Ki dugni min ji bani min suani yaali. N suani min bua yaali ka, ama n suani min ki bua min sɔni yaali.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.
16 Li tuo k n sɔni min bo ki bua sɔni yaali. N bani ki li ki ŋani.
And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
17 Lan wani min mɔno ka suani lan, ya biidi n kubi n yeni, n cedi kin suani lan ya tuonli.
In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
18 N bani k n ki ŋani, n bua li bonŋanli tiema, ama ki li nan pa yen ni.
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
19 N bua k min ya tie li bonŋanli k nan kan fidi ki tieni, ama ti biidi yaali k, n k bua yeni, n nan tiendi lani.
For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.
20 K n ya suani yaali k n bo ki bua min sɔni, min kan sɔnli ama ya biidi ye yen nni suani nni tuonli.
And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 N ji te la ki yaali ne n ye yen nni: n ya bua sɔni bonŋanli, n ji te yi juodi yeni bonbiili.
So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
22 N bua ya yiko n ñan U Tienu kani.
For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
23 Ama n gɔ lieli ye yen n. N yam n tuo ya yiko yen, ki cedi k n tie nani dansaligi yen, ki cɔln ti biidi yiko.
But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.
24 N tie cicagdaani paaa. ŋma n bu fabn nni. Ki ñani n gbannandi yaali bua wan kuan n mi kuuma nni.
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 U Tienu n ga balgi. Wani baba n bu fidi k fabn nni ti yombidaano jesu klistu po kelima, n pali nni, n ŋua u Tienu yiko, qamaq n gbannad'n, n ŋua ti biidi yiko.
Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
