Bharumi 6
1 Tujobhayi kiki henu? Tujhendelelayi mu dhambi ili neema jhijhongesekayi?
What are we to say, then? Are we to continue to sin, in order that God’s loving kindness may be multiplied?
2 La hasha. Tete jhatufwili mu dhambi, twibhwesya bhuli kabhele kuishi mu ejhu?
Heaven forbid! We became dead to sin, so how can we go on living in it?
3 Je mumanyilepi jha kujha bhala bhabatisibhu kwa Kristu bhabhatisibhu mu mauti gha muene?
Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?
4 Twajhele tusyelibhu pamonga ni muene kup'etela bhubatisu mu kifo. Ejhe jhabhombiki ili kwamba kama fela Kristu kya ajhinulibhu kuhoma mauti kup'etela utukufu bhwa Dadi, ili kwamba ni tete tubhwesiajhi kugenda mu bhupya bhwa maisha.
Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father’s power, so we also may live a new life.
5 Ndabha jhikajhelayi tuunganisibhu pamonga ni muene mu mfano bhwa kifo kya muene, kabhele twibetakuunganisibhwa mu ufufuo bhwa muene.
If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we will also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.
6 Tete tumanyili naha, utu bhwa jhoto bhwa muandi bhwasulubibhu pamonga ni muene, ili kwamba mb'el'e ghwa dhambi bhuharibibhwayi.
We recognise the truth that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the body, the stronghold of sin, might be rendered powerless, so that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7 Ejhe jhahomili ili kujha tusijhendeleli kujha bhatumwa bha dhambi. Muene jhaafuili abhombiki jha ajhe ni haki kul'engana ni dhambi.
For the man who has so died has been pronounced righteous and released from sin.
8 Lakini kama tufuili pamonga ni Kristu, twikiera kujha twibeta kuishi pamonga ni muene kabhele.
And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ’s death, we will also share his life.
9 Tumanyili kujha Kristu afufulibhu kuhoma kwa bhafu, ni kwamba mfulepi kabhele. Kifo kikan'tabhwala lepi kabhele.
We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.
10 Maana jha kifo kyaafuili kwa dhambi, afuili mara jhimonga kwa ndabha jha bhoha. Hata, naha, maisha gha iishi, iishi kwa ndabha jha K'yara.
For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the life that he now lives, he lives for God.
11 Kwa njela jhejhuejhu, namu kabhele mwilondeka kwibhalangila kujha bhafu mu dhambi, bali mwebhaomi kwa K'yara mu Yesu Kristu.
So let it be with you – regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.
12 Kwa ndabha ejhu usiruhusu dhambi jhitabhwalayi mb'ele bhwa jhobhi ili kusudi ibhwesiajhi kusitii tamaa syake.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.
13 Usibhosi sehemu sya mb'el'e ghwa jhobhi mu dhambi kama fenu fyafidulili haki, bali mukihomesiajhi mwebhene kwa K'yara, kama bhabhajhele hai kuhoma mu mauti. Na musibhosiajhi sehemu sya mibhele ghya muenga kama fenu fya haki kwa K'yara.
Do not offer any part of your bodies to sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.
14 Musiruhusu dhambi jhibhatawalayi. Kwa kujha mujhelepi pasi pa sheria, la hasha.
For sin will not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of love.
15 Kiki henu? Tubhombayi dhambi kwandabha tujhelepi pasi pa sheria, bali pasi pa neema? La hasha.
What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!
16 Mumanyilepi jha kujha kwa muene ambajhe mukwihomesya mwebhene kama bhatumishi ndo ambajhe muenga mwibetakujha bhatumishi bha muene, muene jhamwilondeka kun'tii? Ejhe ndo kweli hata kama muenga bhatumwa mu dhambi ambajho jhipelekela mauti, au bhatumwa bha bhutii bhwabhwipelekela haki.
Surely you know that when you offer yourselves as servants, to obey anyone, you are the servants of the person whom you obey, whether the service be a service to sin which leads to death, or a service to duty which leads to righteousness.
17 Lakini abhombesibhwajhi K'yara! Kwa ndabha mwajhele bhatumwa bha dhambi, lakini mumalikutii kuhoma mu muoyo jhela namna jha lifundisu lyamupelibhu.
God be thanked that, though you were once servants of sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed.
18 Mubhombibhu huru kuhoma mu dhambi, na mubhombibhu bhatumwa bha haki.
Set free from the control of sin, you became servants to righteousness.
19 Nilongela kama munu kwa ndabha jha madhaifu gha mibhele ghya jhomu. Kwa ndabha kama fela kyamwabhosili fiungo fya mibhele ghya muenga kujha bhatumwa kwa bhuchafu ni bhuovu, kwa namna jhejhuejhu, henu mubhosiajhi fiungo fya mibhele ghya muenga kujha bhatumwa bha haki kwa bhutakaso.
I can but speak as people do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of righteousness, which leads to holiness.
20 Kwa kujha bho mujhe mwe bhatumwa bha dhambi, mwajhele huru patali ni haki.
While you were still servants of sin, you were free as regards righteousness.
21 Kwa wakati obhu, mwajhele ni litunda leleku kwa mambo ambagho kwa henu mwibhona soni naghu? Kwa kujha matokeo gha mambo agha ndo kufwa.
But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is death.
22 Lakini kwa kujha henu mufungibhu huru patali ni dhambi na mubhombiki bhatumwa kwa K'yara, mujhe ni litunda kwandabha jha utakaso. Litokeo ndo bhusima bhwa milele. (aiōnios g166)
But now that you have been set free from the control of sin, and have become servants to God, the fruit that you reap is an ever increasing holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
