Pāvilavēstulē Romiešiem 7
1 Jeb vai jūs nezināt, brāļi (jo es runāju ar tiem, kas bauslību zin), ka bauslība valda pār cilvēku, kamēr tas dzīvo?
Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
2 Jo laulāta sieva caur bauslību ir piesieta pie vīra, kamēr tas dzīvs; bet kad vīrs miris, tad viņa ir atsvabināta no tā vīra bauslības.
For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
3 Tad nu viņa taps saukta laulības pārkāpēja, kad viņa, kamēr vīrs dzīvs, pie cita vīra turas; bet ja vīrs miris, tad viņa ir svabada no tās bauslības, tā ka viņa nav vis laulības pārkāpēja, kad viņa iet pie cita vīra.
So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4 Tā, mani brāļi, arī jūs bauslībai esat nonāvēti caur Kristus miesu, ka jums būs turēties pie cita, pie Tā, kas no miroņiem ir uzmodināts, lai Dievam augļus nesam.
Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.
5 Jo kad mēs miesā bijām, tad grēku kārības caur bauslību mūsu locekļos bija spēcīgas, nāvei augļus nest.
For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.
6 Bet tagad mēs no tās bauslības, kur tapām turēti, esam atsvabināti un tai nomiruši, tā ka mēs kalpojam atjaunotā garā un ne vecā raksta būšanā.
But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7 Ko nu lai sakām? Vai bauslība ir grēks? Nemaz ne! Bet grēku es nepazinu kā vien caur bauslību. Jo iekārošanu es nezinātu, ja bauslība nesacītu: tev nebūs iekāroties.
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
8 Bet grēks, caur bausli pamodināts, cēla iekš manis visādu iekārošanu. Jo bez bauslības grēks ir nedzīvs.
But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 Un es citkārt dzīvoju bez bauslības, bet kad bauslis nāca, tad grēks palika dzīvs.
I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
10 Bet es nomiru, un atradās, ka tas bauslis man uz nāvi izdevās, kas man bija dots uz dzīvību.
The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11 Jo grēks caur bausli pamodināts mani ir pievīlis un caur to pašu nokāvis.
for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12 Tad jau bauslība gan ir svēta, un bauslis gan ir svēts un taisns un labs.
Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
13 Vai tad tas, kas ir labs, man palicis par nāvi? Nemaz ne! Bet grēks, - lai tas parādītos kā grēks, kas caur to, kas labs, man padara nāvi, lai grēks paliktu pārlieku grēcīgs caur bausli.
Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.
14 Jo mēs zinām, ka bauslība ir garīga; bet es esmu miesīgs, pārdots apakš grēka.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15 Jo es nezinu, ko es daru; jo to es nedaru, ko gribu; bet ko es ienīstu, to es daru.
For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practise what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Bet ja es daru, ko negribu, tad es apliecināju, bauslību esam labu.
But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
17 Bet tagad es vairs to nedaru, bet tas grēks, kas iekš manis mīt.
So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 Jo es zinu, ka iekš manis (tas ir manā miesā) labums nemīt; jo gribēt gan gribu labu darīt, bet spēt nespēju.
For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.
19 Jo to labu, ko gribu, es nedaru; bet to ļaunu, ko negribu, to es daru.
For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practise.
20 Bet ja es to daru, ko negribu, tad es to vairs nedaru, bet tas grēks, kas iekš manis mīt.
But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 Tad nu šo likumu atrodu, ka man gribot to labu darīt ļaunums pielīp.
I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22 Jo man ir labs prāts pie Dieva bauslības pēc tā iekšējā cilvēka.
For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,
23 Bet es redzu citu bauslību savos locekļos pret mana prāta bauslību karojam un mani gūstītu novedam apakš grēka bauslības, kas ir manos locekļos.
but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Es nabaga cilvēks, kas mani izraus no šīs nāves miesas.
What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25 Es Dievam pateicos caur Jēzu Kristu, mūsu Kungu. Tad nu es pats ar savu prātu kalpoju Dieva bauslībai, bet ar savu miesu grēka bauslībai.
I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.
