Abaruumi 6
1 Kale tunaagamba tutya? Tweyongere okwonoona, olwo ekisa kya Katonda kiryoke kyeyongere?
What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 Kikafuuwe, kubanga ffe abaafa eri ekibi tuyinza tutya okweyongera okukikola?
Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?
3 Oba temumanyi nga bonna bwe baabatizibwa mu Yesu Kristo, baafiira wamu naye?
Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?
4 Bwe twabatizibwa twaziikibwa wamu ne Kristo. Nga Kristo bwe yazuukizibwa okuva mu bafu olw’ekitiibwa kya Kitaawe, naffe twafuna obulamu obuggya, era bwe tutyo tutambulirenga mu bulamu obwo obuggya.
We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 Obanga twegatta wamu naye mu kifaananyi eky’okufa kwe, bwe tutyo bwe tulyegattira awamu naye mu kuzuukira kwe.
For if we are become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of [his] resurrection;
6 Tumanyi kino nti omuntu waffe ow’edda yakomererwa wamu naye ku musaalaba, omubiri gw’ekibi guleme kuba gwa mugaso, tuleme kuddamu kuba baddu ba kibi.
knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.
7 Omuntu bw’afa aba takyafugibwa kibi.
For he that has died is justified from sin.
8 Naye obanga twafiira wamu ne Kristo, tukkiriza nga tuliba balamu wamu naye
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him,
9 Tumanyi nti, nga Kristo bwe yazuukizibwa mu bafu, takyafa nate, okufa tekukyamufuga.
knowing that Christ having been raised up from among [the] dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.
10 Okufa kwe yafa eri ekibi, yafa omulundi gumu, naye kaakano mulamu era mulamu ku bwa Katonda.
For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Bwe mutyo nammwe mwerowoozenga okuba abaafiira ddala eri ekibi, naye abalamu eri Katonda mu Kristo Yesu.
So also ye, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Noolwekyo ekibi kiremenga okufuga omubiri gwammwe ogufa, nga mugondera okwegomba kwagwo.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.
13 Temuwangayo bitundu byammwe eby’omubiri okukozesebwa ebitali bya butuukirivu eri ekibi, naye mweweereyo ddala eri Katonda, ng’abantu abalamu abaava mu bafu. Ebitundu byammwe eby’omubiri gwammwe bikozesebwe eby’obutuukirivu eri Katonda.
Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among [the] dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.
14 Temukkiriza kibi kwongera kubafuga, kubanga temukyafugibwa mateeka, wabula ekisa kya Katonda.
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under law but under grace.
15 Kale tukole tutya? Kale tukole ekibi kubanga tetufugibwa mateeka wabula ekisa kya Katonda? Kikafuuwe.
What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.
16 Temumanyi nga muba baddu b’oyo gwe muwulira? Muyinza okuba abaddu b’ekibi ne kibaleetera okufa, oba muyinza okuba abaddu abawulira Katonda n’abawa obutuukirivu.
Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 Kyokka Katonda yeebazibwe kubanga mwabanga baddu ba kibi, naye bwe mwagondera okuyigiriza kwe mwayigirizibwa n’omutima gwammwe gwonna, ne mukugondera.
But thanks [be] to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.
18 Noolwekyo mwasumululwa okuva mu kibi, ne mufuuka baddu ba butuukirivu abasanyusa Katonda.
Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to righteousness.
19 Njogera nga nkozesa olulimi olwa bulijjo kubanga mukyali banafu. Nga bwe mwawangayo ebitundu byammwe eby’omubiri okuba abaddu b’ebirowoozo eby’obugwagwa, ne mweyongeranga okukola ebitali bya butuukirivu, bwe mutyo muweeyo ebitundu byammwe eby’omubiri okuba abaddu b’obutuukirivu, nga mweweerayo ddala eri Katonda, mube batukuvu.
I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.
20 Bwe mwali abaddu b’ekibi, temwafugibwanga butuukirivu.
For when ye were bondmen of sin ye were free from righteousness.
21 Kale mwagasibwa ki mu kukola ebintu ebyo, ebibaleetera ensonyi? Enkomerero yaabyo kufa.
What fruit therefore had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of them [is] death.
22 Naye kaakano obanga mwasumululwa mu kibi, ne mufuuka baddu ba Katonda, ebivaamu bibatuusa ku kutukuzibwa, n’enkomerero bwe bulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
But now, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
