Abaruumi 8
1 Noolwekyo abo abali mu Kristo Yesu, tebaliiko musango; abo abatagoberera kwegomba okw’omubiri wabula ne bagoberera Omwoyo.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
2 Kubanga etteeka ery’Omwoyo aleeta obulamu mu Kristo Yesu, lyannunula okuva mu tteeka ly’ekibi n’okufa.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
3 Amateeka ga Musa kye gataayinza kukola, olw’okunafuyizibwa omubiri, Katonda yakikola mu Mwana we yennyini bwe yamutuma mu kifaananyi ky’omubiri ogw’ekibi, n’asalira ekibi omusango mu mubiri.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and [as an offering] for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 Ekyo kyabaawo, eby’obutuukirivu mu mateeka biryoke bituukirire mu ffe bwe tugondera Omwoyo, ffe abatatambulira mu mubiri naye abatambulira mu Mwoyo.
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.
5 Abo abalowooleza mu mubiri balowooza bintu bya mubiri, naye abalowooleza mu Mwoyo balowooza bya Mwoyo.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the spirit the things of the spirit.
6 Okulowooleza mu by’omubiri kwe kufa, naye okufugibwa Omwoyo bwe bulamu n’emirembe.
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the spirit is life and peace:
7 Kubanga okulowooza eby’omubiri kya bulabe eri Katonda. Ebirowoozo eby’omubiri tebiyinza kuwulira mateeka ga Katonda.
because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:
8 N’abo abafugibwa omubiri tebayinza kusanyusa Katonda.
and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 Naye mmwe temufugibwa mubiri wabula mufugibwa Mwoyo, kubanga Omwoyo wa Katonda abeera mu mmwe. Era omuntu yenna bw’ataba na Mwoyo wa Kristo, oyo si wa Kristo.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 Era obanga Kristo ali mu mmwe, omubiri gwammwe mufu olw’ekibi, ate ng’omwoyo gwammwe mulamu olw’obutuukirivu.
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 Era obanga Omwoyo w’oyo eyazuukiza Yesu okuva mu bafu abeera mu mmwe, oyo eyazuukiza Kristo mu bafu, alifuula emibiri gyammwe egifa okuba emiramu ku bw’Omwoyo we abeera mu mmwe.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall quicken also your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Noolwekyo abooluganda tulina ebbanja, so si eri omubiri okugondera bye gutulagira.
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:
13 Kubanga bwe munaagobereranga omubiri, mugenda kufa. Naye bwe munnatta ebikolwa eby’omubiri, muliba balamu,
for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 kubanga abo bonna abakulemberwa Omwoyo wa Katonda be baana ba Katonda.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 Temwaweebwa mwoyo gwa buddu ate mutye, wabula mwaweebwa Omwoyo eyabafuula abaana, era ku bw’oyo tumukoowoola nti, “Aba, Kitaffe.”
For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 Omwoyo yennyini akakasiza wamu n’omwoyo waffe nga bwe tuli abaana ba Katonda.
The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:
17 Kale nga bwe tuli abaana, tuli basika ba Katonda, era tulisikira wamu ne Kristo, bwe tubonaabonera awamu naye, tulyoke tuweerwe wamu naye ekitiibwa.
and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified with [him].
18 Okubonaabona kwe tubonaabona kaakano kutono nnyo bwe kugeraageranyizibwa n’ekitiibwa ekiritubikulirwa.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
19 Ebitonde birindirira n’essuubi lingi ekiseera abaana ba Katonda lwe baliragibwa.
For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 Kubanga ebitonde tebyafugibwa butaliimu nga byeyagalidde, wabula ku bw’oyo eyabifugisa, mu kusuubira.
For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope
21 Ebitonde birifuulibwa bya ddembe okuva mu kufugibwa okuvunda ne bigabanira wamu n’abaana ba Katonda ekitiibwa eky’okuba mu ddembe.
that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 Tumanyi ng’ebitonde byonna bisinda era ne birumwa ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala bw’abeera.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 Naye ate si ekyo kyokka, era naffe abalina ebibala ebibereberye eby’Omwoyo, naffe tusinda munda yaffe nga tulindirira okufuuka abaana, kwe kununulibwa kw’emibiri gyaffe.
And not only so, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
24 Twalokolebwa lwa ssuubi eryo. Naye essuubi erirabibwa si ssuubi; kubanga ani asuubira ky’alabako?
For by hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?
25 Naye bwe tusuubira kye tutalabako, tukirindirira n’okugumiikiriza.
But if we hope for that which we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for it.
26 N’Omwoyo bw’atyo atubeera mu bunafu bwaffe. Tetumanyi kusaba nga bwe kitugwanira, naye Omwoyo yennyini atwegayiririra n’okusinda okutayogerekeka.
And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for [us] with groanings which cannot be uttered;
27 Oyo akebera emitima, amanyi Omwoyo ky’alowooza, kubanga yeegayiririra abatukuvu ng’okusiima kwa Katonda bwe kuli.
and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
28 Era tumanyi nga eri abo abaagala Katonda, era abo abayitibwa ng’okuteesa kwe bwe kuli, ebintu byonna bibatuukako olw’obulungi.
And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called according to [his] purpose.
29 Kubanga abo be yamanya olubereberye, yabalonda okufaananyizibwa mu kifaananyi ky’Omwana we, ye abeerenga omubereberye mu booluganda abangi.
For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
30 Abo be yalonda, n’okubayita yabayita, n’abo be yayita, yabawa obutuukirivu, n’abo be yawa obutuukirivu yabagulumiza.
and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 Kale tunaagamba ki ku bintu bino? Katonda bw’abeera ku lwaffe, ani asobola okutulwanyisa?
What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32 Oyo ataasaasira Mwana we ye, naye n’amuwaayo ku lwaffe ffenna, talituwa buwi bintu byonna awamu naye?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
33 Ani aliroopa abalonde ba Katonda? Katonda y’awa obutuukirivu.
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth;
34 Ani alibasalira omusango? Kristo Yesu yafa, kyokka okusinga byonna yazuukizibwa, era ali ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda, ng’atwegayiririra.
who is he that shall condemn? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Ani alitwawukanya n’okwagala kwa Kristo? Kubonaabona, oba bulumi, oba kuyigganyizibwa, oba njala, oba kuba bwerere, oba kabi, oba kitala?
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Kyawandiikibwa nti: “Ku lulwo tutiisibwatiisibwa n’okuttibwa obudde okuziba, era tubalibwa ng’endiga ez’okusalibwa.”
Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Naye mu bino byonna tuwangudde n’okukirawo ku bw’oyo eyatwagala.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 Kubanga nkakasiza ddala nga newaakubadde okufa, wadde obulamu, wadde bamalayika, wadde abafuzi, wadde ebiriwo, wadde ebigenda okujja, wadde amaanyi,
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 wadde obugulumivu, wadde okukka wansi, wadde ekitonde ekirala kyonna, tewali kiriyinza kutwawukanya n’okwagala kwa Katonda okuli mu Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe.
nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
