Romana 6
1 Aa vaho hanao ty hoe hao tika: Antao hitolom-pandilatse hampitomambao ty hasoa!
What then shall we say? Shall we continue to abound in sin, in order that grace may come to abound?
2 Sondo’e! Akore t’ie nihomake an-kakeo ro mbe ho veloñ’ ama’e?
No indeed; how shall we who have died to sin still go on living in it any longer?
3 He tsy fohi’ areo te itikañ’ iaby nilipotse am’ Iesoà Norizañey ro nilipotse amy havilasi’ey.
For do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized 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 have been buried together with him, then, through baptism into his death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we should live in a 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 united with him in the likeness of his death, so we shall also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection.
6 ie fohiñe te naradorado mindre ama’e i vatan-tika hambo’ey, hañitoañe i sandriñe lifo-kakeoy, soa tsy hondevozen-tahiñe ka,
For this we know, that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the slave of sin might be destroyed; so that we should no longer be in slavery to sin -
7 amy te votsotse an-kakeo ze fa nihomake.
for he who is dead is set free from sin.
8 Aa kanao niharo vilasy amy Norizañey tika, le atokisan-tika te hindrezañe an-kaveloñe ka,
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also 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, being raised from the dead, dies no more; death has no more dominion 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 the death that he died, he died unto sin once for all; but the life that he lives he is living unto God.
11 Iantofo arè te nihomake an-kakeo nahareo, fe veloñe aman’ Añahare am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
Even so count yourselves also to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
12 Aa le ko atolotse ho fehèn-kakeo o sandri’ areo ho momokeo, hivohots’ amo hadrao’eo.
Therefore let not sin rule as king in your mortal body, compelling you to obey its lusts.
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,
Do not continue to present any part of your body to sin to be used as a weapon of unrighteousness. On the contrary, be presenting yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and the various parts of your bodies to be used as weapons of righteousness.
14 amy te tsy hanan-dily ama’ areo o hakeoo, amy t’ie tsy ambane’ ty fimanemanean-dily, fa ambanem-patarihañe.
For sin shall not lord it over you; for you are not under the rule of law, but under the rule of grace.
15 Akore arè? Handilatse hao tika amy te tsy fehèm-pepètse fa ambanem-patarihañe? Aiy, sondo’e!
What then? Shall we commit an act of sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not.
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.
Do you not know that when you surrender yourselves as slaves to any one to obey him, you are his slaves whom you obey; whether it be sin, whose end is death, or obedience, whose end is righteousness?
17 Ty fatarihan’ Añahare, inahareo nondevozen-kakeo fe mivohotse añ’arofo amo ventem-pañòhañe nitaroñañeo,
But God be thanked that you who were once the slaves of sin have obeyed from your hearts that type of teaching to which you were appointed;
18 le fa hinaha an-kakeo vaho mpitoron-kavantañañe.
and being set free from sin, you became the slaves of 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 these homely figures because of the weakness of your fleshly nature - just as you once surrendered your faculties into slavery to impurity and to all lawlessness, so now you must surrender your faculties into slavery to righteousness, unto deeds of holiness.
20 Ie nitoron-kakeo taolo, le nihaha amy havantañañey.
For when you were the slaves of sin, you were under no subjection to righteousness.
21 Aa le inoñe ty nivokareñe amo raha manalatse anahareo henaneo? kanao ampigadoñe’e an-kamomohañe.
What harvest-fruit then had you at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 Aa ie hinaha an-kakeo naho mivohotse aman’ Añahare henaneo, ro mahazo ty hasoa i fiavahañey ie mamokatse haveloñe tsy modo. (aiōnios g166)
But now that you have been set free from sin and become slaves of God, the harvest-fruit which you are reaping tends to produce holiness, and it ends is life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
