Roma 6
1 Ha, kia pehea he korero ma tatou? Kia mau tonu oti tatou ki te hara, kia hua ai te aroha noa?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue still in sinne, that grace may abounde? God forbid.
2 Kahore rapea. Ko tatou kua whakatupapakutia nei ki te hara, me pehea tatou e noho tonu atu ai ano i roto i taua hara?
Howe shall we, that are dead to sinne, liue yet therein?
3 Kahore ianei koutou i mohio, ko tatou kua iriiria nei ki roto ki a Karaiti Ihu, kua iriiria ki roto ki tona matenga?
Knowe ye not, that all we which haue bene baptized into Iesus Christ, haue bene baptized into his death?
4 Na kua tanumia ngatahitia tatou me ia ki roto ki te matenga, he mea na te iriiri: kia rite ai ki a te Karaiti i whakaarahia ake nei i te hunga mate e te kororia o te Matua, waihoki ko tatou kia haere i roto i te houtanga o te ora.
We are buried then with him by baptisme into his death, that like as Christ was raysed vp from the dead to the glorie of the Father, so we also should walke in newnesse of life.
5 Ki te mea hoki kua honoa tatou ki a ia i runga i te ahua o tona matenga, ka honoa ano tatou ki a ia i runga i te ahua o tona aranga:
For if we be planted with him to the similitude of his death, euen so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection,
6 E mohio ana hoki ki tenei, kua ripekatia ngatahitia me ia to tatou tangata tawhito, kia hemo ai te tinana o te hara, kia mutu ai to tatou ponongatanga ki te hara;
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sinne might be destroied, that henceforth we should not serue sinne.
7 Ko te mea hoki kua mate, kua mawheto ia i te hara.
For he that is dead, is freed from sinne.
8 Ki te mea kua mate tahi tatou ko te Karaiti, e whakapono ana tatou e ora tahi ano tatou me ia:
Wherefore, if we bee dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shall liue also with him,
9 E matau ana hoki tatou, ka ara nei a te Karaiti i te hunga mate, heoi ano ona matenga; kahore he kingitanga o te mate ki a ia a mua tonu atu.
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion ouer him.
10 Ko tona matenga hoki i mate ai ia, he mate kotahi ki te hara: ko tona oranga ia, he ora ki te Atua.
For in that hee died, hee died once to sinne but in that he liueth, he liueth to God.
11 Waihoki mahara iho ki a koutou, kua whakatupapakutia koutou ki te hara, e ora ana ia ki te Atua, i roto i a Ihu Karaiti.
Likewise thinke ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are aliue to God in Iesus Christ our Lord.
12 Mo konei ra aua te hara e kingi i roto i to koutou tinana mate, e ngohengohe ai koutou ki ta nga hiahia poke o taua tinana nei:
Let not sinne reigne therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in ye lusts therof:
13 Kaua hoki e tukua o koutou wahi ki te hara hei kaimahi i te he: engari tukua atu koutou ki te Atua, he hunga kua ora i roto i te hunga mate, me o koutou wahi hoki hei kaimahi i te tika ki te Atua.
Neither giue ye your members, as weapons of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but giue your selues vnto God, as they that are aliue from the dead, and giue your members as weapons of righteousnesse vnto God.
14 E kore hoki te hara e waiho hei rangatira mo koutou: ehara i te mea kei raro koutou i te ture, engari kei raro ke i te aroha noa.
For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you: for ye are not vnder ye Lawe, but vnder grace.
15 He aha koia? kia hara oti tatou, no te mea ehara tatou i te ture, engari no te aroha noa? Kahore rapea.
What then? shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the Law, but vnder grace? God forbid.
16 Kahore oti koutou i matau, ki te tuku koutou i a koutou ki tetahi hei pononga, he pononga koutou na tera kua ngohengohe na koutou ki tana; na te hara ranei, a mate iho, na te ngohengohe ranei, a tika ake?
Knowe ye not, that to whomsoeuer yee giue your selues as seruats to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?
17 Ko tenei me whakawhetai ki te Atua, ahakoa he pononga koutou na te hara i mua, kua meinga o koutou ngakau kia ngohengohe ki te ako i whakaakona ai koutou;
But God be thanked, that ye haue beene the seruants of sinne, but yee haue obeyed from the heart vnto the forme of the doctrine, wherunto ye were deliuered.
18 Na ka atea nei koutou i te hara, ka meinga koutou he pononga na te tika.
Being then made free from sinne, yee are made the seruants of righteousnesse.
19 He kupu tangata tenei naku, na te ngoikore o to koutou kikokiko: na i tukua ra o koutou wahi hei pononga ma te poke, ma te tutu, ki te mahi tutu; waihoki me tuku o koutou wahi aianei hei pononga ma te tika, puta ake he tapu.
I speake after the maner of man, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue giuen your members seruants to vncleannes and to iniquitie, to commit iniquitie, so now giue your mebers seruants vnto righteousnesse in holinesse.
20 I a koutou hoki e pononga ana ki te hara, e atea ana koutou i te tika.
For when ye were the seruants of sinne, ye were freed from righteousnesse.
21 Na i taua wa he aha nga hua i a koutou o nga mea e whakama na koutou inaianei? he mate hoki te mutunga o aua mea.
What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those things is death.
22 Tena ko tenei ka atea nei koutou i te hara, a ka meinga hei pononga ma te Atua, ko nga hua ki a koutou he tapu, a, ko te tukunga iho he ora tonu. (aiōnios g166)
But now being freed from sinne, and made seruants vnto God, ye haue your fruit in holines, and the end, euerlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
