Walumi 6
1 Tiyanje yenu eshi? Lendelele humbibhi huje owene wanjelele?
What are we to say, then? Are we to continue to sin, in order that God’s loving kindness may be multiplied?
2 Haa. Ata tatifwiye hu mbibhi tibhawezye ntele adele hwenyo?
Heaven forbid! We became dead to sin, so how can we go on living in it?
3 Huje semumenye aje bhala bhabhahojile hwa Kilisiti bhahojile hufwa yakwe?
Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?
4 Taliti syelelwe tetinomwene ashilile owoziwa hufwa. Eli lyabhombwilwe aje eshi huje shila oKilisiti shabhosewe afume hufwa ashilile otutumusu owa Baba, aje eshi natetiwezye ajende huu pya owa dele.
Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father’s power, so we also may live a new life.
5 Eshi nkashile tikhomenywe peka nawo hushifwani eshefwa yakwa, nantele taikhomanyiziwa hufwa yakwe.
If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we will also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.
6 Ate timenyu eshi, outu wetu owehale wakhobhehenywe pamo nawo, aje eshi obele ogwe mbibhi gunankanye. Eli lyafumile aje neshi tisihwendelele bhatumwa bhe mbibhi.
We recognize the truth that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the body, the stronghold of sin, might be rendered powerless, so that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7 Omwene yali afwiye abhombwilwe wehaki alengane nezambe.
For the man who has so died has been pronounced righteous and released from sin.
8 Eshi nkashele tifwiye pamo no Kilisiti, tihwamini aje tidela pamo nomwene nantele.
And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ’s death, we will also share his life.
9 Timenye aje oKilisiti azyozyelwe afume hwabha fwe saga fwe nantele efwa saga ehutabhala nantele.
We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.
10 Hwa huje eshi ejango eyafwe shafwiye humbibhi, afwiye limo hwajili ya bhoti hata eshi edelo zyadela adela hwajili ya Ngolobhe.
For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the life that he now lives, he lives for God.
11 Hwi dala lyelyo, namwe huje muhwanziwa ahwibhazye aje bhafwe hu mbibhi, aje bhomi hwa Ngolobhe hwa Kilisiti oYesu.
So let it be with you – regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.
12 Hwa huje esho esiluhusu ezambe etabhale ombele gwaho aje obhene shishi hu nyonyo zyakwe.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.
13 Osihwefwe esehemu ezyembele gwaho humbibhi nashi evyombo vyasaga viline haki. Eshi hwifumi mwemwe hwa Ngolobhe. Nashi bhali bhomi afume hufwe eshi zifumi esehemu ezye mabele genyu abhe vyombo vyehaki hwa Ngolobhe.
Do not offer any part of your bodies to sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.
14 Mganje aileshe zambe ebha tabhale hwa huje sagamli pasi yendajizyo, huje pasi wene.
For sin will not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of love.
15 Yenu eshi tibhombe embibhi hwa huje sutihweli pansi ye ndajizyo, huje pasi ayewene? Ha aa.
What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!
16 Semmenye aje hwamwene yuoyo yali muhwifumya mwemwe nashi atumwi mwamuli mwemwe mubhabhe bhatumi bhakwe omwene, yahwanziwa humwogope? Eshi lyoli hata nkashile amwemuli bhatumwa bhezambe eyo yebha twalila hufwa naje bhatumwa mwa bheshishi wauwatwalila huhaki.
Surely you know that when you offer yourselves as servants, to obey anyone, you are the servants of the person whom you obey, whether the service be a service to sin which leads to death, or a service to duty which leads to righteousness.
17 Hwa huje asalifiwe Ongolobhe! Huje mwali bhatumwa bhe mbibhi, eshi mwahogope afume humwoyo ela yeli yefudizyo zyamwapewilwe.
God be thanked that, though you were once servants of sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed.
18 Mbhombwilwe wene afume mbibhi na mbhombwilwe ubhe bhatumwa bhi haki.
Set free from the control of sin, you became servants to righteousness.
19 Eyanga nashi je mtu owe sababu ye mabhine age mabele getu huje nashi shila shamwahefwizye eviungo evyambelegwenyu abhe bhatumwa bhe chafu ne mbibhi zya zili nashi ezyo, eshifumi eviungo evye mabelegenyu aje mulibhatumwa bhe haki hu wozwo.
I can but speak as people do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of righteousness, which leads to holiness.
20 Hwa hubhe pamwali bhatumwa bhembibhi mwali wene huje nelyoli.
While you were still servants of sin, you were free as regards righteousness.
21 Hu siku ezyo, mwali nidodolo lyali hu hunongwa gali geshi mulola esoni hwego? Hwa huje efumilo yenongwa eyo hufwe.
But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is death.
22 Hwa hubhe eshi mubhombwilwe wene shibhala ne mbibhi na mubhombeshe abhe bhatumwa bha Ngolobhe, mli nidodola huajili yewozye. Afume huwoni owewila. (aiōnios g166)
But now that you have been set free from the control of sin, and have become servants to God, the fruit that you reap is an ever increasing holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
