Baloma 6
1 Nomba lino ngatwambaconi? Sena tupitilishe kwikala mubwipishi kwambeti kwinamoyo kwa Lesa kukonempe?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Sobwe! Afwe twalabeti twafwa pakwamba sha ngofu sha bwipishi pali njafwe. Ngatupitilishaconi kwikala mubwipishi?
May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 Sena nkamucinshi kwambeti twense afwe twalekatana pamo ne Yesu Klistu kupitila mulubatisho lwakendi, kayi twalabatishiwa pamo mu lufu lwakendi?
Or do not you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Weco pakubatishiwa twalabeti twalafwa ne kubikwa mumanda pamo nendiye, kwambeti mbuli Yesu ncalapunduka kubafu ne ngofu shabulemeneno bwa Bata, nenjafwe twikale ne buyumi bwalinolino.
We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 Na tulaba pamo ne Klistu mu lufu lwakendi, nicimo cimo ne kwambeti nitukabe pamo nendiye pakupunduka kubafu, mbuli ncalapunduka.
For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
6 Neco tucinsheti buntu bwetu bwakaindi bwalapopwa pa lusanda pamo ne Klistu, kwambeti ngofu sha bwikalo bwa bwipishi shifwe, kwambeti tubule kuba basha ba bwipishi.
knowing this, that our old man 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 Pakwinga na muntu lafu, ekwambeti lasunguluwa ku ngofu sha bwipishi.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Nomba na twalafwa pamo ne Klistu, twashoma kwambeti nitukabe ne buyumi pamo nendiye.
But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
9 Tucinsheti Klistu walapunduka kubafu, kayi nteshi akafwepo. Lufu luliyapo ngofu pali endiye.
knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
10 Kufwa kwakendi kwalikuba kwa kulekana ne bwipishi, kayi walafwa kamo konka. Lino buyumi mbwakute cino cindi ni buyumi bwekatana ne Lesa.
For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Nenjamwe mulibone kubeti bafwa pakwamba shangofu sha bwipishi pali njamwe, nsombi bakute buyumi kuli Lesa, pakwikatana pamo ne Klistu.
Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Weco kamutasuminisha bwipishi kwambeti bwendeleshe mibili yenu ikute kufwa, kayi mutakomwa ne lunkumbwa lwaipa lwa mibili yenu.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 Mutayaba cilama ciliconse ca mubili wenu ku bwipishi, kwambeti cisebense incito itendelana ne bululami. Amwe muliyabe kuli Lesa mbuli bantu balikuba bafwa, nsombi lino bakute buyumi. Kayi muyabe mubili wenu wonse kuli Lesa kwambeti usebense ncito yalulama.
Also, do not 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 Lino bwipishi nteshi bukabe ne ngofu palinjamwe, pakwinga cilendeleshenga buyumi bwenu nteyo Milawo sobwe nsombi kwina moyo kwa Lesa.
For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Nomba nicani lino? Sena tubenga beshikwinsa bwipishi pakwinga cilendeleshenga buyumi bwetu nteyo Milawo, nsombi kwina moyo kwa Lesa? Sobwe!
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
16 Lino mucinsheti mwaliyaba kuba basha bamuntu ne kumunyumfwila ekwambeti njamwe basha ba muntuyo ngomulanyumfwilinga, namuba basha kubwipishi nditu nimukafwe. Nsombi na mulaba basha beshikunyumfwila Lesa ni mukabe balulama pamenso a Lesa.
Do not you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 Katumulumbaishani Lesa. Amwe kaindi mwalikuba basha ba bwipishi, nsombi lino mulanyumfunga ne myoyo yenu yonse cakubinga ca lwiyo ndomwalatambula.
But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
18 Mwalasungululwa ku bwipishi, nomba lino mulaba basha babululami.
Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
19 Ndamwambili mukoshano uyu wa busha kwambeti mutalilwa kunyumfwishisha bintu ibi. Kaindi mwalikuliyabeti mube basha ba bintu byaipa ne nshila shaipa. Neco lino kamuliyabani kwambeti mube basha babululami kwambeti mube baswepa myoyo.
I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
20 Pacindi mpomwalikuba basha ba bwipishi, nkamwalikuyeyako sha bintu Lesa mbyakute kwambeti byabululami.
For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 Nomba mwalacanapo cani pakwinsa bintu bilamupanga nsoni cino cindi? Pakwinga bintu bisa mapwililisho akendi ni lufu.
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 Nsombi lino mulasungululwa kubwipishi, kayi njamwe beshikusebensela Lesa. Cakucanapo pa bintu ibi nikulibenga kuli Lesa kayi nacimbi cakucanapo ni buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
