Barome 6
1 Boye, toloba nini? Tosalaka na biso masumu mpo ete ngolu efuluka koleka?
What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound?
2 Soki moke te! Biso oyo tosila kokufa mpo na lisumu, ndenge nini tozongela lisusu kotambola kati na masumu?
let it not be! we who died to the sin — how shall we still live in it?
3 Boni, boyebi te ete biso nyonso oyo tosila kobatisama kati na Yesu-Klisto tozwaki nde libatisi kati na kufa na Ye?
are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?
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.
we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk.
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 become planted together to the likeness of his death, [so] also we shall be of the rising again;
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.
this knowing, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;
7 Moto nyonso oyo asilaki kokufa atangamaki lokola moto ya sembo: azali lisusu te na se ya bokonzi ya lisumu.
for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.
8 Nzokande, lokola tosila kokufa elongo na Klisto, tozali kondima ete tokozala mpe na bomoi elongo na Ye.
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall 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, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;
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, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;
11 Boye bino mpe, bomimona lokola bakufi mpo na lisumu, kasi lokola bato ya bomoi mpo na Nzambe kati na Yesu-Klisto.
so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in 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 then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
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 present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to 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 over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under 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 law but under grace? let it not be!
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?
have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to 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,
and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and — were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;
18 bosili kokangolama na bowumbu ya lisumu mpe bokomi bawumbu ya bosembo.
and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the 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.
In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness — to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness — to sanctification,
20 Tango bozalaki nanu bawumbu ya lisumu, bozalaki na bonsomi liboso ya bosembo.
for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the 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, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those [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)
And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit — to sanctification, and the end life age-during; (aiōnios g166)
