Bhaloma 7
1 Ashaapwanga, ngunabheleketa na mmanganyanji nkujimanyanga shalia ja a Musha, nkakumumanyanga kuti shalia jinakuntagwala mundu ali jwankoto?
Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person for as long as he lives?
2 Tujile malinga bhakongwe bhalombilwe, bhanatabhwa na shalia mobha gowe ga gumi gwa ambuje bhabho, ikabheje ambuje mundu bhala bhawaga, shalia jikakwaatabha kabhili bhakongwebho.
For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
3 Bhai monaga ambuje mundu bhali bhabhakoto, nilombwa na bhalume bhana, gwenego utwai, ikabheje bhalumebho bhawaga, bhakaatabhwa na shalia. Nkali bhalombwaga na bhalume bhana pangali utwai.
So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she is called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4 Na malinga mmanganyanji ashaapwanga, nkali mmanganyanji nshikujiwilanga shalia, kwa shiilu sha a Kilishitu nkupinga mmanganje bha bhene bhayushile bhala, nkupinga twaatendele a Nnungu indu ya mmbone.
Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bear fruit to God.
5 Pabha, putwaliji nndamo ja kagulila indu ya nshiilu, ilokoli ya yambi guipundile kwa ligongo lya shalia, ilitenda liengo mwiilu yetu nikutupeleshela ku shiwo.
For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit for death.
6 Ikabheje nnaino tugopwelwe nshalia, tuiwilile yatutabhaga ila, nkupinga tukombole ndamo ja ambi ja tumishila ya Mbumu, nngabha malinga bhukala putwatumishilaga shalia jijandishwe.
But now we have been released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7 Bhai, tujile bhuli? Shaliaji ni yambi? Ng'oo! Pabha gwangali shalia nganaimanye yambi shili bhuli, nganakumanye kulokolila kaliji shalia jikanalugule, “Nnalokolile yangali ya mmbone.”
What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said, "Do not covet."
8 Ikabheje yambi guikwete mashili ligongo lya amuli, gushitendile kila ilokoli nkati jangu. Pabha yambi gwangali shalia, iwile.
But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 Numbe nne punaliji najwankoto gwangali shalia, ikabhe jikaishejepe shalia jila, yambi guiyushile na nne gung'wile.
I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
10 Nne gumweni kuti, shalia jatumbilile kupeleshela gumi jila, jishipeleshela shiwo.
The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11 Pabha yambi shikakoleje mashili kwa ligongo lya shalia jila, gushindembile nimulaga.
for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12 Bhai shalia ja a Musha ni ja ukonjelo, na amuli jila, ni ja ukonjelo, na ja mmbone, na ja aki.
Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13 Bhai bhuli! Gene gali ga mmbone gala, nne nigabhone ga shiwo? Ng'oo! Ikabheje nkupinga shambi shibhoneshe ukoto kuti ni yambi, shialaya shiwo nkati jangu, kwa pitila lya mmbone lila, nkupinga kwa amuli jila, yambi ipunde nyata kaje.
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
14 Pabha tumumanyi kuti shalia ja a Musha shiumilo shakwe ni indu ikopoka Mmbumu jwa a Nnungu, ikabheje nne namundu jwa kagulila indu ya nshiilu, njiushwa muutumwa gwa yambi.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15 Pabha ngakushimanya shingutenda, shingupinga tenda shila, ngaatenda, ikabhe shingaapinga shila ni shingutenda.
For I do not know what I am doing. For I do not practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Bhai monaga ngunakunda kuti shingutenda nngabha sha mmbone malinga shinatumbilile tenda, penepo ngunakunda kuti, shalia jila ni jammbone.
But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
17 Bhai, nngabha nne namwene ngutenda shenesho, ikabhe yambi itama nkati jangu.
So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 Pabha nimumanyi kuti, nkati jangu yani nshiilu shangu, shikaatama shindu sha mmbone. Numbe kupinga kutenda indu ya mmbone ngulipinga, ikabheje kutenda ngunalepela.
For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For the desire is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
19 Pabha shene sha mmbone shingushipinga, ngaatenda, ikabheje shene shangali sha mmbone shingakushipinga ni shingutenda.
For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
20 Bhai monaga shingakushipinga shila ni shingutenda, nngabha nne namwene ngutenda, ikabhe ni yambi itemi nkati jangu ila.
But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 Bhai nijimanyi jene kweliji, pungupinga tenda shindu sha mmbone, shipali sha nyata shinguagula tenda.
I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22 Pabha ngunakwiinonyela shalia ja a Nnungu muntima gwangu.
For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
23 Ikabheje nshiilu shangu ngunakujibhona shalia jina jinakomana na shalia ja lunda lwangu, nindenda ntumwa jwa shalia ja yambi, jitemi nshiilu shangu jila.
but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Nankulaga nangali malanga nne! Gani shandapule na shiilu sha shiwoshi?
What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25 Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, pabha ngunatapulwa na a Yeshu Kilishitu bhakulungwa bhetu! Bhai kwa nneyo nne namwene kwa lunda lwangu ngunatumishila shalia ja a Nnungu, ikabhe kwa shiilu shangu ngunatumishila shalia ja yambi.
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
