Romana 6
1 Aa vaho hanao ty hoe hao tika: Antao hitolom-pandilatse hampitomambao ty hasoa!
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Sondo’e! Akore t’ie nihomake an-kakeo ro mbe ho veloñ’ ama’e?
May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 He tsy fohi’ areo te itikañ’ iaby nilipotse am’ Iesoà Norizañey ro nilipotse amy havilasi’ey.
Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised 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 therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from 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 united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part 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,
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
7 amy te votsotse an-kakeo ze fa nihomake.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Aa kanao niharo vilasy amy Norizañey tika, le atokisan-tika te hindrezañe an-kaveloñe ka,
But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will 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 no longer has 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 to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Iantofo arè te nihomake an-kakeo nahareo, fe veloñe aman’ Añahare am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Aa le ko atolotse ho fehèn-kakeo o sandri’ areo ho momokeo, hivohots’ amo hadrao’eo.
Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in 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,
Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as 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 dominion 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? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never 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.
Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever 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,
But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
18 le fa hinaha an-kakeo vaho mpitoron-kavantañañe.
Being made free from sin, you became bondservants 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 human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for 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 then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
