Barome 6
1 Boye, toloba nini? Tosalaka na biso masumu mpo ete ngolu efuluka koleka?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Soki moke te! Biso oyo tosila kokufa mpo na lisumu, ndenge nini tozongela lisusu kotambola kati na masumu?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Boni, boyebi te ete biso nyonso oyo tosila kobatisama kati na Yesu-Klisto tozwaki nde libatisi kati na kufa na Ye?
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Bakundaki biso elongo na Ye na nzela ya libatisi kati na kufa na Ye mpo ete, lokola Klisto asekwaki kati na bakufi na nzela ya nkembo ya Tata, biso mpe totambola na bomoi ya sika.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 Pamba te soki tosanganaki elongo na Ye kati na kufa na Ye, solo tokosangana mpe elongo na Ye kati na lisekwa na Ye.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Pamba te toyebi malamu ete bomoto ya kala ebakamaki na ekulusu elongo na Klisto mpo ete nzoto na biso lokola esalelo ya lisumu ekufa mpe tozala lisusu bawumbu ya lisumu te.
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 Moto nyonso oyo asilaki kokufa atangamaki lokola moto ya sembo: azali lisusu te na se ya bokonzi ya lisumu.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Nzokande, lokola tosila kokufa elongo na Klisto, tozali kondima ete tokozala mpe na bomoi elongo na Ye.
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Pamba te toyebi malamu ete Klisto oyo asekwaki kati na bakufi akokufa lisusu te; kufa ezali lisusu na bokonzi te likolo na Ye.
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 Akufaki mpo na lisumu mbala moko mpo na libela; kasi sik’oyo azali na bomoi, mpe azali na bomoi mpo na Nzambe.
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Boye bino mpe, bomimona lokola bakufi mpo na lisumu, kasi lokola bato ya bomoi mpo na Nzambe kati na Yesu-Klisto.
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Yango wana, tika ete lisumu ezala lisusu na bokonzi te kati na banzoto na bino, oyo ekokufa; mpe bosengeli lisusu te kotosa baposa na yango ya mabe.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Bokaba biteni ya banzoto na bino te na lisumu lokola bisalelo mpo na mabe, kasi bomikaba bino moko epai na Nzambe lokola bato oyo basekwa kati na bakufi mpe bazali na bomoi; mpe bokabela Ye biteni ya banzoto na bino lokola bisalelo mpo na bosembo.
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 Pamba te lisumu ekozala lisusu na bokonzi te likolo na bino, pamba te bozali lisusu na se ya bokonzi ya Mobeko te, kasi na se ya ngolu.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 Boye toloba nini? Tokoba kosala masumu mpo ete tozali na se ya bokonzi ya Mobeko te kasi na se ya ngolu? Soki moke te!
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Boni, boyebi te ete soki bomikabi epai ya moto lokola bawumbu mpo na kotosa ye bokomi nde bawumbu ya moto oyo bozali kotosa to bawumbu ya lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa to bawumbu ya botosi oyo ememaka na bosembo?
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 Kasi tika ete tozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe! Soki na kala bozalaki bawumbu ya lisumu, kasi sik’oyo bokomi kotosa na motema mobimba mateya oyo bateyaki bino,
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 you.
18 bosili kokangolama na bowumbu ya lisumu mpe bokomi bawumbu ya bosembo.
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 Nazali koloba awa lokola moto mpo na bolembu na bino ya bomoto. Ndenge na kala, bokabaki biteni ya banzoto na bino na bowumbu ya misala ya mbindo mpe ya mabe mpo na kosala mabe, ndenge wana mpe bokaba yango sik’oyo na bowumbu ya bosembo mpo na kotambola na bomoi ya bosantu.
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 unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 Tango bozalaki nanu bawumbu ya lisumu, bozalaki na bonsomi liboso ya bosembo.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 Nzokande, litomba nini bozwaki na tango wana oyo bozalaki kosala makambo oyo ezali koyokisa bino lelo soni, pamba te ememaka na kufa?
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 Kasi awa bolongwe sik’oyo na se ya bowumbu ya lisumu mpe bokomi na se ya bowumbu ya Nzambe, litomba oyo bozwi ezali bomoi ya bosantu, mpe suka na yango ezali bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
