Ndị Rom 6
1 Gịnị ọzọkwa ka anyị ga-ekwu? Anyị ga-anọgide nʼime mmehie ka amara na-aba ụba?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 E e! O kwesighị! Olee otu anyị ga-esi na-adị ndụ nʼime mmehie, mgbe anyị bụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼebe mmehie dị?
By no means. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer in it?
3 Ọ bụ na unu amataghị na mgbe ahụ e jikọtara anyị na Kraịst Jisọs na baptizim ka e jikọtakwara anyị na ya nʼọnwụ.
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Ya mere, esitere na baptizim likọọ anyị na ya nʼọnwụ, dịka e mere ka Kraịst site nʼọnwụ bilie nʼebube nke Nna, ka anyị sikwa otu a keta oke na ndụ ọhụrụ.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 Ọ bụrụkwa na e jikọtaala anyị na ya nʼọnwụ, e jikọtakwala anyị na ya na mbilite nʼọnwụ.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Nʼihi na anyị maara na a kpọgidekọtara ndụ nke ochie anyị na Kraịst nʼelu obe, iji mee ka anụ ahụ nke mmehie ahụ bụrụ ihe a lara nʼiyi, ka anyị bụrụkwa ndị nwere onwe ha site nʼịbụ ohu nke mmehie.
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 Nʼihi na onye nwụrụ anwụ agụọla ya dịka onye nwere onwe ya site nʼebe mmehie dị.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Ọ bụrụkwa nʼeziokwu na anyị na Kraịst nwụkọrọ ọnwụ, anyị makwara na anyị na ya ga-adịkọkwa ndụ ọzọ.
Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Nʼihi na anyị maara na ebe e mere ka Kraịst site nʼọnwụ bilie, ọ gaghị anwụkwa ọzọ. Ọnwụ enwekwaghị ike ọbụla nʼebe ọ nọ ọzọ.
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 Ọ nwụrụ naanị otu mgbe nʼihi mmehie. Ma ndụ ọ na-adị ugbu a bụ nke ọ na-adị nye Chineke.
For in that he died, he died to sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.
11 Ya mere, gụọ onwe unu ugbu a dịka ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼebe mmehie dị. Gụọkwa onwe gị dịka ndị dị ndụ nʼebe Chineke nọ nʼime Kraịst, site na Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị.
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Unu ekwela ka mmehie na-achị eze nʼahụ unu ọzọ, nke ga-eme ka unu na-erubere agụụ nke anụ ahụ isi.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in its lusts.
13 Unu a nakwala eche akụkụ ahụ unu ọbụla ka ọ bụrụ ngwa ọrụ ajọ omume. Kama cheenụ onwe unu nʼihu Chineke, dịka ndị esi nʼọnwụ kpọpụta nyefee na ndụ. Cheenụ akụkụ ahụ unu niile nʼihu Chineke dịka ngwa ọrụ nke ezi omume.
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin: but yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 Nʼihi na unu ekwesighị ị bụ ohu mmehie, ebe ọ bụ na unu anọkwaghị nʼokpuru iwu ọzọ, kama unu nọ nʼokpuru amara.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 Gịnịkwa? Anyị ga-eme mmehie nʼihi na anyị anọghị nʼokpuru iwu kama nʼokpuru amara? Mba! O kwesighị.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means.
16 Ọ bụ na unu amataghị na mgbe unu weere onwe unu nye mmadụ irubere ya isi dịka ohu, unu bụ ohu nye onye ahụ unu na-erubere isi, maọbụ ohu nye mmehie nke na-eduba nʼọnwụ, ma ọ bụkwanụ irube isi nke na-eduba nʼezi omume?
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 Ma ekele dịrị Chineke nʼihi na ọ bụ ezie na unu bụrịị ohu nye mmehie, ma ugbu a, unu ejirila obi unu niile kpebie ịnabatara onwe unu ozizi ahụ e nyefere nʼaka unu.
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you.
18 Ugbu a, e meela ka unu nwere onwe unu site na mmehie, unu abụrụla ndị ohu ezi omume.
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 Ana m eji ihe ịmaatụ site na ndụ a na-ebi kwa ụbọchị, nʼihi adịghị ike nke anụ ahụ mmadụ. Ya mere, dịka unu si were ahụ unu dị iche iche nye ịbụ ohu adịghị ọcha na ajọ omume nke na-abawanye ụba, sitekwanụ otu a were ha nye ugbu a ka ha bụrụ ohu ezi omume nke na-eduba nʼịdị nsọ.
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity to work iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness to work holiness.
20 Mgbe unu bụ ohu mmehie, o nweghị ihe megidere unu ime ezi omume.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 Ma gịnị bụ uru unu nwetara nʼoge ahụ site nʼọrụ ahụ niile unu rụrụ, bụ ihe ndị ahụ na-eme ka ihere mee unu? Ihe ndị ahụ na-eduba nʼọnwụ.
What fruit had ye then in those things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 Ugbu a, e meela ka unu nwere onwe unu site na mmehie. Unu aghọọla ndị ohu Chineke. Uru unu na-erita bụ ịdị nsọ, ọgwụgwụ ya bụkwa ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
But now being made free from sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
