Barome 8
1 Yango wana sik’oyo, etumbu ezali lisusu te mpo na bato oyo bazali kati na Yesu-Klisto.
There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
2 Pamba te kati na Yesu-Klisto, Mobeko ya Molimo oyo apesaka bomoi ekangoli ngai na bowumbu ya mobeko ya lisumu mpe ya kufa.
for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;
3 Pamba te likambo oyo Mobeko ekokaki kosala te mpo ete bomoto ezangisaki yango nguya, Nzambe asalaki yango na kotinda Mwana na Ye, na nzoto oyo ekokani na nzoto ya bato ya masumu, mpo ete akoma likabo mpo na lisumu. Boye, akatelaki masumu etumbu kati na nzoto ya bato.
for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,
4 Asalaki bongo mpo ete bosembo oyo Mobeko esengaka ekokisama kati na biso oyo totambolaka te kolanda baposa ya nzoto, kasi kolanda Molimo.
that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 Bato oyo batambolaka kolanda baposa ya nzoto batiaka makanisi na bango na makambo ya nzoto, kasi ba-oyo batambolaka kolanda Molimo batiaka makanisi na bango na makambo ya Molimo.
For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;
6 Baposa ya nzoto ememaka na kufa, kasi baposa ya Molimo ememaka na bomoi mpe na kimia.
for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit — life and peace;
7 Baposa ya nzoto etombokelaka Nzambe, etosaka Mobeko ya Nzambe te mpe ekotikala kotosa yango ata moke te.
because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,
8 Bato oyo batambolaka kolanda baposa ya nzoto bakoki kosepelisa Nzambe te.
for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
9 Nzokande bino, botambolaka te kolanda baposa ya nzoto, kasi kolanda baposa ya Molimo, mpo ete Molimo ya Nzambe azali kati na bino. Mpe soki moto azangi Molimo ya Klisto azali mpe moto na Ye te.
And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ — this one is not His;
10 Kasi soki Klisto azali kati na bino, atako nzoto na bino ekokufa mpo na lisumu, kasi Molimo azali bomoi kati na bino, pamba te bokoma bato ya sembo.
and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
11 Mpe soki Molimo ya Ye oyo asekwisaki Yesu kati na bakufi azali kovanda kati na bino, Ye oyo asekwisaki Klisto kati na bakufi akopesa mpe bomoi epai na banzoto na bino, oyo ebengami na kokufa, na nzela ya Molimo na Ye, oyo avandaka kati na bino.
and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.
12 Yango wana bandeko na ngai, tozali na niongo—kasi ezali niongo ya nzoto te mpo ete totambola te kolanda baposa ya nzoto.
So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
13 Pamba te soki botamboli kolanda baposa ya nzoto bokokufa; kasi soki bobomi, na nzela ya Molimo, misala mabe oyo bosalaka kati na banzoto na bino, bokozala na bomoi.
for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;
14 Pamba te bato oyo batambolisamaka na Molimo ya Nzambe bazali bana na Nzambe.
for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
15 Solo, bozwaki te Molimo oyo akomisaka bino bawumbu mpo ete bozala na kobanga, kasi bozwaki Molimo oyo akomisaka bino bana na Nzambe, mpe ezali na nzela ya Molimo yango nde togangaka: « Tata! »
for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, 'Abba — Father.'
16 Molimo Ye moko atatolaka na molimo na biso ete tozali bana na Nzambe.
The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
17 Mpe soki tozali bana, tozali mpe bakitani ya libula: tozali bakitani ya libula ya Nzambe, mpe bakitani ya libula elongo na Klisto, soki penza tozali komona pasi elongo na Ye mpo ete tozwa mpe nkembo elongo na Ye.
and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ — if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.
18 Nakanisi ete pasi ya tango oyo ekokani te na motuya ya nkembo oyo ekomonisama mpo na biso.
For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
19 Pamba te bikelamu nyonso ezali kozela na posa makasi ete bana na Nzambe bamonisama.
for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;
20 Pamba te bikelamu nyonso ezali na se ya bokonzi ya nguya oyo esukaka na pamba; na mokano na yango moko te, kasi na mokano ya Ye oyo atiaki bikelamu yango na se ya bokonzi yango, na elikya ete
for to vanity was the creation made subject — not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] — in hope,
21 bikelamu nyonso mpe ekokangolama na bowumbu ya libebi na yango mpo na kozwa bonsomi ya nkembo oyo bana na Nzambe bakozwa.
that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
22 Toyebi malamu ete kino sik’oyo, bikelamu nyonso ezali kolela pasi lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.
for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.
23 Ezali yango moko kaka te nde ezali kolela; kasi biso ba-oyo mpe tozwaki Molimo lokola mbuma ya liboso tozali mpe komona pasi kati na mitema, wana tozali kozela na posa makasi ete Nzambe akomisa biso bana na Ye penza mpe asikola banzoto na biso.
And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting — the redemption of our body;
24 Pamba te tosila kobika, kasi kobika yango ezali nanu elikya. Nzokande soki tozali komona eloko oyo tozali kotiela elikya, wana ezali lisusu elikya te, pamba te nani akoki kotia elikya na eloko oyo azali komona?
for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for [it]?
25 Kasi soki tozali kotia elikya na eloko oyo tozali komona te, solo tokozela yango na molende.
and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
26 Ndenge moko mpe Molimo ayaka kosunga biso kati na bolembu na biso; pamba te toyebi te kosambela na lolenge oyo esengeli, kasi Molimo Ye moko abondelaka mpo na biso na maloba oyo moto akoki koloba te.
And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth [us], we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,
27 Mpe Nzambe oyo akundolaka mozindo ya mitema ayebi makanisi ya Molimo, pamba te Molimo abondelaka mpo na basantu kolanda mokano ya Nzambe.
and He who is searching the hearts hath known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.
28 Mpe toyebi malamu ete kati na makambo nyonso, Nzambe asalaka mpo na bolamu ya bato oyo balingaka Ye, ba-oyo babengama kolanda mabongisi na Ye.
And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
29 Pamba te bato oyo Nzambe ayeba wuta kala, abongisa mpe bango wuta kala mpo ete bakokana na Mwana na Ye, mpo ete azala Mwana ya liboso kati na bandeko ebele.
because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;
30 Mpe ba-oyo abongisa wuta kala, abenga mpe bango; ba-oyo abenga, akomisa bango bato ya sembo; mpe ba-oyo akomisa bato ya sembo, apesa bango mpe nkembo na Ye.
and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.
31 Boye, toloba lisusu nini? Soki Nzambe azali mpo na biso, nani akotelemela biso?
What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32 Ye oyo aboyaki te kopesa Mwana na Ye se moko, kasi akabaki Ye mpo na biso nyonso, ndenge nini azanga kopesa biso biloko nyonso elongo na Ye na nzela ya ngolu?
He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?
33 Nani akofunda bato oyo Nzambe apona? Ezali Nzambe nde akomisaka sembo.
Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous,
34 Nani akokatela bango etumbu? Moko te! Yesu-Klisto akufaki; kutu, asekwaki, azali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Nzambe, mpe azali kobondela mpo na biso.
who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God — who also doth intercede for us.
35 Nani akokabola biso na bolingo ya Klisto? Pasi, somo, minyoko, nzala, kozanga bilamba, likama to mopanga?
Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Ezali mpo na Yo nde balukaka koboma biso mikolo nyonso; bazwaka biso lokola bameme ya koboma. »
(according as it hath been written — 'For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')
37 Kasi kati na makambo oyo nyonso, tozali penza balongi na nzela ya Ye oyo alinga biso.
but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;
38 Pamba te nandimisami ete ezala kufa to bomoi, ba-anjelu to milimo mabe, makambo ya mikolo oyo to makambo oyo ekoya, banguya ya ndenge na ndenge,
for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
39 banguya ya likolo to ya se ya mabele to eloko mosusu oyo Nzambe akela, eloko moko te ekoki kokabola biso na bolingo ya Nzambe kati na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
