Romana 6
1 Aa vaho hanao ty hoe hao tika: Antao hitolom-pandilatse hampitomambao ty hasoa!
What, then, will we say? Will we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 Sondo’e! Akore t’ie nihomake an-kakeo ro mbe ho veloñ’ ama’e?
Let it not be! We who died to sin—how will we still live in it?
3 He tsy fohi’ areo te itikañ’ iaby nilipotse am’ Iesoà Norizañey ro nilipotse amy havilasi’ey.
Are you ignorant that we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into His death?
4 Aa le nitrao-pilenteke ama’e tika amy lipotsey mb’an-kavilasy ao, soa te, hambañe ami’te nampitroare’ ty engen-dRae an-kavilasy i Norizañey, ty hañaveloan-tika an-kavelom-bao.
We were buried together, then, with Him through the immersion into death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 Aa naho nampireketeñe ama’e tika an-kavilasy manahake aze, le ho mpiamy fivañonan-ko velo’ey ka tika,
For if we have become planted together to the likeness of His death, [so] we also will be of the resurrection;
6 ie fohiñe te naradorado mindre ama’e i vatan-tika hambo’ey, hañitoañe i sandriñe lifo-kakeoy, soa tsy hondevozen-tahiñe ka,
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [Him], that the body of sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving sin,
7 amy te votsotse an-kakeo ze fa nihomake.
for he who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Aa kanao niharo vilasy amy Norizañey tika, le atokisan-tika te hindrezañe an-kaveloñe ka,
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also will live with Him,
9 fohiñe te natroatse amy havilasiy i Norizañey tsy ho vilasy ka, amy te tsy anaña’ i havilasiy lily.
knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, dies no more; death has no more lordship over Him;
10 I havilasy nivetraha’ey, le nivetraha’e ty amo hakeoo indraike nahaheneke; fe i haveloñe iveloma’ey, ro iveloma’e aman’ Añahare.
for in that He died, He died to sin once, and in that He lives, He lives to God;
11 Iantofo arè te nihomake an-kakeo nahareo, fe veloñe aman’ Añahare am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
so also you, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Aa le ko atolotse ho fehèn-kakeo o sandri’ areo ho momokeo, hivohots’ amo hadrao’eo.
Do not let then sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
13 Le ko atolo’ areo an-tahiñe o fangefange’ areoo ho harao-katsivokarañe, fe manolora vatañe aman’ Añahare hoe nivelomeñe an-kavilasy; vaho o fangefange’ areoo ho haraon-kavantañañe aman’ Añahare,
neither present your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;
14 amy te tsy hanan-dily ama’ areo o hakeoo, amy t’ie tsy ambane’ ty fimanemanean-dily, fa ambanem-patarihañe.
for sin will not have lordship over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Akore arè? Handilatse hao tika amy te tsy fehèm-pepètse fa ambanem-patarihañe? Aiy, sondo’e!
What then? Will we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be!
16 Tsy fohi’ areo hao te, ze anolora’ areo sandriñe ho mpitoro’e hivohora’o, le ondevo’ i vohorañey?—ke amo tahiñeo minday mb’am-pikoromahañe, he am-pivohorañe minday havantañañe.
Have you not known that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, servants you are to him to whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 Ty fatarihan’ Añahare, inahareo nondevozen-kakeo fe mivohotse añ’arofo amo ventem-pañòhañe nitaroñañeo,
And thanks to God, that you were servants of sin, and—were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were delivered up;
18 le fa hinaha an-kakeo vaho mpitoron-kavantañañe.
and having been freed from sin, you became servants to righteousness.
19 Anoeko an-dreha’ ondaty ty amy haifoifo’ o sandri’ areoo: Fa hambañe amy te nafoe’areo hondevozen-kakeo naho tahiñe o fangefangeo hañonjonañe ty hatsivokarañe; t’ie hibanabana o fangefangeo hitoron-kavañonañe mb’am-piavahañe henane zao.
I speak in a human [way], because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as you presented your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness—to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to righteousness—to sanctification,
20 Ie nitoron-kakeo taolo, le nihaha amy havantañañey.
for when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 Aa le inoñe ty nivokareñe amo raha manalatse anahareo henaneo? kanao ampigadoñe’e an-kamomohañe.
What fruit, therefore, were you having then, in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those [is] death.
