Abaruumi 6
1 Kale tunaagamba tutya? Tweyongere okwonoona, olwo ekisa kya Katonda kiryoke kyeyongere?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Kikafuuwe, kubanga ffe abaafa eri ekibi tuyinza tutya okweyongera okukikola?
God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?
3 Oba temumanyi nga bonna bwe baabatizibwa mu Yesu Kristo, baafiira wamu naye?
Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized 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 were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might 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 become united with [him] by the likeness of his death, we shall be also [by 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 was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
7 Omuntu bw’afa aba takyafugibwa kibi.
for he that hath died is justified from sin.
8 Naye obanga twafiira wamu ne Kristo, tukkiriza nga tuliba balamu wamu naye
But if we 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 being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.
10 Okufa kwe yafa eri ekibi, yafa omulundi gumu, naye kaakano mulamu era mulamu ku bwa Katonda.
For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Bwe mutyo nammwe mwerowoozenga okuba abaafiira ddala eri ekibi, naye abalamu eri Katonda mu Kristo Yesu.
Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto 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, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:
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 unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto 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? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
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 present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are 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, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
18 Noolwekyo mwasumululwa okuva mu kibi, ne mufuuka baddu ba butuukirivu abasanyusa Katonda.
and being made free from sin, ye became 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: for as ye presented your members [as] servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members [as] servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
20 Bwe mwali abaddu b’ekibi, temwafugibwanga butuukirivu.
For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.
21 Kale mwagasibwa ki mu kukola ebintu ebyo, ebibaleetera ensonyi? Enkomerero yaabyo kufa.
What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those 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 made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
