Ndị Rom 8

1 Ya mere, ikpe ọmụma ọbụla adịghịkwa ugbu a nye ndị niile nọ nʼime Jisọs Kraịst.

THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 Nʼihi na site na Kraịst Jisọs iwu nke Mmụọ na-enye ndụ emeela ka m nwere onwe m site nʼiwu nke mmehie na ọnwụ.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath liberated me from the law of sin and of death.

3 Nʼihi na ihe iwu na-enweghị ike ime, nʼihi adịghị ike nke anụ ahụ, ka Chineke mere, site nʼizite Ọkpara ya, ka ọ bịa nʼụdịdị anụ ahụ mmehie, bụrụ aja mmehie, site otu a, maa mmehie ikpe na anụ ahụ.

For that which was impossible by the law, inasmuch as it was impotent through the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in that flesh:

4 Ka izu ezu nke ihe niile iwu chọrọ nʼaka anyị bụrụ ihe e mezuru nʼime anyị, bụ ndị na-adịghị ebi ndụ dịka ọchịchọ anụ ahụ si dịrị, kama dịka ọchịchọ Mmụọ Nsọ si dị.

that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled by us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5 Ndị niile na-ebi ndụ ha dịka anụ ahụ siri chọọ, na-ebi ya naanị imezu agụụ niile na-agụ anụ ahụ ha. Ma ndị niile na-agbaso ụzọ nke Mmụọ na-achọpụta na ha na-eme ihe Mmụọ na-achọ.

For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 Ịtụkwasị uche nʼihe nke anụ ahụ na-eweta ọnwụ. Ma ịtụkwasị uche nʼihe nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-eweta ndụ na udo.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Nʼihi na onye ọbụla tụkwasịrị uche ya nʼihe nke anụ ahụ na-ebuso Chineke agha, ọ naghị edebe iwu nke Chineke. Nʼeziokwu, ọ gaghị enwe ike idebe ya.

Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be.

8 Ya mere, ndị na-erubere anụ ahụ ha isi apụghị ime ihe ga-atọ Chineke ụtọ.

They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

9 Ma lee! Unu onwe unu anaghị ebizi ndụ nʼusoro nke anụ ahụ, kama unu na-ebi nʼusoro nke Mmụọ Nsọ nʼihi na Mmụọ nke Chineke bi nʼime unu. Onye ọbụla na-enweghị Mmụọ nke Kraịst abụghị nke ya.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

10 Ọ bụrụkwa na Kraịst bi nʼime unu, anụ ahụ unu ga-abụ ihe nwụrụ anwụ nʼebe mmehie dị, ma mmụọ unu dị ndụ nʼihi na a gụọla unu na ndị ezi omume.

But if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead on account of sin; but the Spirit is alive through righteousness.

11 Ọ bụrụ na Mmụọ onye mere ka Jisọs si nʼọnwụ bilie, bi nʼime gị, onye ahụ nke mere ka Kraịst si nʼọnwụ bilie ga-emekwa ka anụ ahụ gị dị ndụ site nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ, onye bi nʼime gị.

But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you.

12 Ya mere, ụmụnna m, anyị ji ụgwọ ma ọ bụghị anụ ahụ ka anyị ji ụgwọ ịdị ndụ dịka ọchịchọ ya si dị.

Truly then we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 Ọ bụrụ na unu na-ebi ndụ dịka anụ ahụ si chọọ, unu ga-anwụ. Ma ọ bụrụ na unu ga-eji ike nke Mmụọ Nsọ mee ka omume niile nke anụ ahụ nwụọ, unu ga-adị ndụ.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye are ready to die: but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 Nʼihi na ndị niile Mmụọ nke Chineke na-achị bụ ụmụ Chineke.

For as many as are guided by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15 Nʼihi na unu anataghị mmụọ nke na-eme unu ndị ohu ọzọ nye ịtụ ụjọ, kama unu natara Mmụọ nke mere unu ụmụ Chineke. Ọ bụ site na Mmụọ ahụ ka anyị ji na-akpọ “Abba, Nna.”

For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye have received a Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.

16 Mmụọ Nsọ, nʼonwe ya na-agbakwa ama nʼime mmụọ anyị, na-agwa anyị na anyị bụ ụmụ Chineke.

The same spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

17 Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na anyị bụ ụmụ, ọ pụtara na anyị bụ ndị nketa oke, ndị ga-eketa ihe Chineke nwere, na ndị ha na Kraịst ga-ekekọta ihe, ma ọ bụrụ nʼezie na anyị ga-esoro ya keta oke ahụhụ ya, ka anyị si otu a sorokwa ya keta oke nʼebube ya.

But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified.

18 Nʼikwu eziokwu, ahụhụ niile anyị na-ata ugbu a erughị ihe a ga-eji tụnyere ebube niile a ga-ekpughe nʼime anyị.

For I reckon that the sufferings of the present moment are not worthy to be placed against the future glory that shall be revealed to us.

19 Ihe niile e kere eke ji oke agụụ na-eche mgbe a ga-egosipụta ndị bụ ụmụ Chineke.

For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the children of God.

20 Nʼihi na e tinyere ihe e kere eke nʼọnọdụ ihe na-abaghị uru, ma ọ bụghị site nʼọchịchọ nke onwe ya, kama nʼọchịchọ nke onye ahụ tinyere ya nʼọnọdụ ahụ nʼime olileanya,

For the creation was made subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him who made it subject,

21 na otu ụbọchị na ha ga-enwere onwe ha site nʼagbụ nke ire ure, sorokwa keta oke nʼebube ahụ ga-abụ nke ụmụ Chineke.

in hope that the same creation shall be emancipated from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

22 Anyị maara na ruo ugbu a, ihe niile e kere eke na-asụ ude nʼihi ihe mgbu ha nọ nʼime ya, dịka ihe mgbu nke ọmụmụ nwa.

For we know that the whole creation groaneth together and travaileth in birth to this moment.

23 Ọ bụghị naanị nke a, ma anyị onwe anyị, ndị nwere mkpụrụ mbụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ, na-asụkwa ude nʼime onwe anyị, na-echesi ike mgbe a ga-akpọbata anyị dịka ụmụ, mgbe a ga-agbapụta anụ ahụ anyị.

And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting the adoption, the redemption of our body.

24 Nʼihi na a zọpụtara anyị site nʼolileanya dị otu a. Ma olileanya a na-ahụ anya abụghị olileanya. Onye na-enwe olileanya mgbe ihe ọ na-ele anya ya dị ya nʼaka?

For by hope we have been saved: now hope seen is not hope; for that which any man seeth how doth he yet hope for?

25 Ma ọ bụrụ na olileanya anyị dabeere nʼihe ahụ anyị na-enwetabeghị, anyị ga-eji ndidi chere tutu ihe ahụ erute anyị aka.

But if we hope for what we see not, we with patience expect it.

26 Otu aka ahụ, Mmụọ Nsọ na-enyere anyị aka nʼime adịghị ike anyị. Nʼihi na anyị amaghị ka esi ekpe ekpere dịka o kwesiri. Ma Mmụọ Nsọ nʼonwe ya ji ịsụ ude nke ọnụ apụghị ịkọ na-arịọrọ anyị arịrịọ.

In like manner also the Spirit affords assistance to our infirmities: for even this, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not: but the same Spirit more abundantly maketh intercession for us with groanings unutterable.

27 Chineke, onye na-enyocha obi mmadụ, amarala ihe Mmụọ Nsọ bụ nʼuche. Nʼihi na Mmụọ Nsọ na-arịọrọ ndị nsọ niile arịrịọ dịka Chineke si chọọ.

Now he that trieth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, for he maketh intercession for the saints according to God’s will.

28 Anyị maara na ihe niile na-arụkọta ọrụ maka ọdịmma ndị hụrụ Chineke nʼanya bụ ndị a kpọrọ dịka uche nsọ ya siri dị.

But we know that to those who love God all things work together for good, even to those who are called according to his purpose.

29 Nʼihi na ndị ahụ ọ maararị ka ọ kakwara akara ka ha nwe ụdịdị nke Ọkpara ya, ka ọ bụrụ nwa e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼetiti ọtụtụ ụmụnna.

For whom he foreknew, he predestinated also to a conformity with the image of his Son, that he might be the first-begotten among many brethren.

30 Ma ndị ahụ ọ kara akara, ka ọ kpọkwara; ndị ọ kpọrọ, ka ọ gụrụ na ndị ezi omume; ndị ọ gụrụ na ndị ezi omume ka o nyekwara otuto.

But whom he predestinated, those also he called: and whom he called, those also he justified: but whom he justified, those also he glorified.

31 Gịnị ọzọ ka anyị ga-ekwu banyere ihe ndị a. Ọ bụrụ na Chineke nọnyere anyị, onye pụrụ imegide anyị?

What then shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who shall be against us?

32 Onye ahụ na-azọghị ndụ Ọkpara ya, kama o weere ya nye nʼihi mmehie anyị niile, ọ dị ihe ọzọ anyị chọrọ ọ na-agaghị enye anyị site na ya?

He who even spared not his own Son, but freely delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also, together with him, freely give us all things?

33 Onye pụrụ ibo ndị ahụ Chineke họpụtara ebubo? Ọ bụ Chineke na-agụ mmadụ dịka onye ezi omume.

Who shall put in an accusation against the elect of God? God? He is their justifier.

34 Onye bụ onye ahụ nke ga-ama ikpe? Ọ bụ Kraịst Jisọs onye nwụrụ, ma karịa nke ahụ, onye e mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie, nọ nʼaka nri Chineke na-arịọtakwara anyị arịrịọ.

Who is he that condemneth? Christ? He died, yea, rather, also is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Onye nwere ike ikewapụ anyị site nʼịhụnanya Kraịst? Ọ bụ nsogbu, ka ọ bụ ihe isi ike, ka ọ bụ mkpagbu. Ka ọ bụ ụnwụ, ka ọ bụ ịgba ọtọ, ka ọ bụ ihe egwu, ka ọ bụ mma agha?

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall distress of circumstances, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?

36 Dịka e dere ya, “Ọ bụ nʼihi gị ka anyị na ọnwụ ji na-agba mgba ụbọchị niile. A na-ele anyị anya dịka atụrụ a gaje igbu egbu.”

As it is written, “That for thy sake we have been put to death the whole day long; we have been reckoned indeed as sheep for slaughter.”

37 Mba, kama nʼime ihe ndị a niile, anyị karịrị ndị mmeri site nʼonye ahụ hụrụ anyị nʼanya.

But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe m maara nke ọma, na ọnwụ, maọbụ ndụ, maọbụ ndị mmụọ ozi, maọbụ mmụọ dị iche iche ndị na-achị nʼelu na nʼụwa, maọbụ ike ọchịchịrị dị iche iche, maọbụ ihe dị ugbu a, maọbụ ihe gaje ịbịa,

For I am assured that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor those to come,

39 maọbụ ịdị elu, maọbụ ịdị omimi, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ e kere eke, agaghị enwe ike ikewapụ anyị site nʼịhụnanya Chineke, nke dị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị.

nor exaltation, nor deepest depression, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
