Bhaloma 6
1 Bhai tujile bhuli? Tupunde kutenda yambi, nkupinga nema ja a Nnungu jipunde jenjesheka?
What shall we say then? Shall 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?
God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?
3 Eu, nkakumumanyanga kuti uwe tubhatishwe na lundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu, nneila peila tushilundanywa nshiwo shabho?
Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ 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 into death: that like as Christ 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] by the likeness of his death, we shall be also [by the likeness] 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 man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
7 Pabha aiwilile ga yambi, ashitendwa nngwana niembuywa na yambi.
for he that hath died is justified from sin.
8 Bhai monaga tuwile pamo na a Kilishitu, tunakulupalila kuti, shitutame pamo na bhenebho.
But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
9 Pabha tumumanyi kuti a Kilishitu bhakayusheje, bhakawa kabhili.
knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath 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 unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Nneyo peyo na mmanganyanji mwiibhikanje mbuti bhaiwililenje bhakaatendanga yambi, ikabhe bhabhakotonji kwa lundana na a Nnungu kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
12 Bhai yambi inatagwale iilu yenunji ya wai, mpaka nikagula ilokoli yakwe.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:
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 unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 Numbe yambi ikantagwalanga kabhili, pabha munninginji nngabha nkulongoywa na shalia ja a Musha, ikabhe kwa nema ja a Nnungu.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye 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? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
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.
Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto 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 ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
18 Gunngombolwenje kopoka kuutumwa gwa yambi, nibhanganga bhatumwa bha aki.
and being made free from sin, ye became servants 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 after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members [as] servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members [as] servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
20 Pumwalinginji bhatumwa bha yambi, aki jikantagwalangaga.
For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.
21 Mwapatilenjeje nndi, kwa itendi yenunji ya bhukala inkwiibhonelanga oni nnaino? Pabha mpelo gwa yeneyo kuwa.
What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye 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 become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
