Abaruumi 6
1 Kale tunaagamba tutya? Tweyongere okwonoona, olwo ekisa kya Katonda kiryoke kyeyongere?
What do we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that favor may abound?
2 Kikafuuwe, kubanga ffe abaafa eri ekibi tuyinza tutya okweyongera okukikola?
By no means. How shall we, who have died to sin, continue to live in it?
3 Oba temumanyi nga bonna bwe baabatizibwa mu Yesu Kristo, baafiira wamu naye?
Do you not know, that as many as have been immersed into Jesus Christ, have been immersed into 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, then, together with him, by the immersion into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father; so we also shall 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 have been planted together in the likeness of his death; we shall then, also, certainly be in the likeness 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 destroyed, that we should not any longer serve sin:
7 Omuntu bw’afa aba takyafugibwa kibi.
for he that has died is released from sin.
8 Naye obanga twafiira wamu ne Kristo, tukkiriza nga tuliba balamu wamu naye
Moreover, 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 from the dead, dies not again; death has no longer dominion over him:
10 Okufa kwe yafa eri ekibi, yafa omulundi gumu, naye kaakano mulamu era mulamu ku bwa Katonda.
for that he has died, he has died for sin once: but that he lives, he lives for God.
11 Bwe mutyo nammwe mwerowoozenga okuba abaafiira ddala eri ekibi, naye abalamu eri Katonda mu Kristo Yesu.
So reckon yourselves also dead, indeed, to sin; but alive to God, by Jesus Christ.
12 Noolwekyo ekibi kiremenga okufuga omubiri gwammwe ogufa, nga mugondera okwegomba kwagwo.
Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, by obeying it.
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 present your members as instruments of unrighteousness, to sin; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of righteousness, to God.
14 Temukkiriza kibi kwongera kubafuga, kubanga temukyafugibwa mateeka, wabula ekisa kya Katonda.
Besides, sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under law, but under favor.
15 Kale tukole tutya? Kale tukole ekibi kubanga tetufugibwa mateeka wabula ekisa kya Katonda? Kikafuuwe.
What then do we say? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under favor?
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.
Do you not know, that to whom you present yourselves servants, by obedience; his servants you are whom you thus obey; whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness?
17 Kyokka Katonda yeebazibwe kubanga mwabanga baddu ba kibi, naye bwe mwagondera okuyigiriza kwe mwayigirizibwa n’omutima gwammwe gwonna, ne mukugondera.
But, thanks to God, that though you were the servants of sin; yet you have heartily obeyed that model of doctrine to which you have been given up.
18 Noolwekyo mwasumululwa okuva mu kibi, ne mufuuka baddu ba butuukirivu abasanyusa Katonda.
And being made free from sin, you have become the servants of 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 after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.) Wherefore, as you have presented your members servants to uncleanness, and to iniquity, to work iniquity; so present now your members, servants to righteousness, to work holiness.
20 Bwe mwali abaddu b’ekibi, temwafugibwanga butuukirivu.
For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 Kale mwagasibwa ki mu kukola ebintu ebyo, ebibaleetera ensonyi? Enkomerero yaabyo kufa.
And what fruit had you, then, from these things of which you are now ashamed? for the reward of these things 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, being set free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit to holiness: and the end, everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
