Bhaloma 6
1 Bhai tujile bhuli? Tupunde kutenda yambi, nkupinga nema ja a Nnungu jipunde jenjesheka?
What should we say then? Should we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Ng'oo, wala kashoko! Uwe ga yambi iilu yetu iiwilile, shitupunde bhuli kabhili kutama na yambi?
Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 Eu, nkakumumanyanga kuti uwe tubhatishwe na lundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu, nneila peila tushilundanywa nshiwo shabho?
Or do you not know that all we who were baptized into Messiah Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Bhai putwabhatishwe twashinkulundana nabho, gutushishilwe pamo na bhenebho, nkupinga malinga a Kilishitu pubhayushiywe kwa ukonjelo gwa Atati, nneyo peyo na uwe tutame nndamo ja ambi.
We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 Pabha, malinga shitulundene nabho nkuwa malinga bhenebho, nneyo peyo shitulundane nabho kwa yuka, malinga bhenebho.
For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
6 Tumumanyi kuti nkubho gwetu gwa bhukala gwa tenda yambi, gwashinkukomelwa munshalabha pamo na bhenebho, nkupinga tunapunde kubha bhatumwa bha yambi, nkupinga maisha getu ga bhukala ga shambi gapele.
knowing this, that our old self 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 Pabha aiwilile ga yambi, ashitendwa nngwana niembuywa na yambi.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Bhai monaga tuwile pamo na a Kilishitu, tunakulupalila kuti, shitutame pamo na bhenebho.
But if we died with Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him;
9 Pabha tumumanyi kuti a Kilishitu bhakayusheje, bhakawa kabhili.
knowing that Messiah, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
10 Pabha kuwa kwabho kula, bhashinkuwila yambi kamope, na nnaino tama kwabho, bhanatama pamo na a Nnungu.
For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Nneyo peyo na mmanganyanji mwiibhikanje mbuti bhaiwililenje bhakaatendanga yambi, ikabhe bhabhakotonji kwa lundana na a Nnungu kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Jesus.
12 Bhai yambi inatagwale iilu yenunji ya wai, mpaka nikagula ilokoli yakwe.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 Wala nnalekanje iilu yenunji kutenda yambi, ikabhe mwiishoyanje kwa a Nnungu malinga bhandu bhayushilenje, mwiishoyanje kwa a Nnungu kwa itendi ya aki.
Neither 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 Numbe yambi ikantagwalanga kabhili, pabha munninginji nngabha nkulongoywa na shalia ja a Musha, ikabhe kwa nema ja a Nnungu.
For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Bhai, tujile bhuli? Tutende yambi pabha tukaukumulwa na shalia ja a Musha, ikabhe kwa nema? Ng'oo!
What then? Should we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Absolutely not.
16 Bhuli nkakumumanyanga kuti, punkwiibhikanga malinga utumwa kuka mundu nikunkunda, mmangangaga bhatumwa bha yambi mpelo gwake ni kuwa, mmangangaga bhatumwa bha kwaakunda a Nnungu, mpelo gwakwe aki.
Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
17 Ikabheje bhatendelwe eja a Nnungu, nkali mwalinginji bhatumwa bha yambi, nshikundanga kwa mitima jenunji jowe majiganyo gumwajigenywenje.
But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18 Gunngombolwenje kopoka kuutumwa gwa yambi, nibhanganga bhatumwa bha aki.
Being made free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19 Ngunabheleketa shigundu kwa ligongo lya ungashimilika gwenunji. Malinga shimwaishoshiyenje ibhalo yenunji muitendi ya utumwa na ya nyata na yambi gumwinyatiyenje, nneyo peyo, nnaino mwiishoyanje ibhalo yenunji muutumwa gwa tenda aki muukonjelo.
I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.
20 Pumwalinginji bhatumwa bha yambi, aki jikantagwalangaga.
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21 Mwapatilenjeje nndi, kwa itendi yenunji ya bhukala inkwiibhonelanga oni nnaino? Pabha mpelo gwa yeneyo kuwa.
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.
22 Ikabheje nnaino, nngombolwenje kopoka kuutumwa gwa yambi, nitendwa bhatumwa bha a Nnungu, nkwetenje pwaida ja ukonjelo, na mpelo gwakwe gumi gwa pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
But now, being made free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
