Warumi 6
1 Tuseme nini basi? Je, tuendelee kutenda dhambi ili neema ipate kuongezeka?
What shall we saye then? Shall we continue in synne that there maye be aboundaunce of grace?
2 La hasha! Sisi tulioifia dhambi, tutawezaje kuendelea kuishi tena katika dhambi?
God forbyd. How shall we that are deed as touchynge synne live eny lenger therin?
3 Au hamjui ya kuwa sisi sote tuliobatizwa katika Kristo Yesu tulibatizwa katika mauti yake?
Remember ye not that all we which are baptysed in the name of Iesu Christ are baptysed to dye with him?
4 Kwa hiyo tulizikwa pamoja naye kwa njia ya ubatizo katika mauti, ili kama vile Kristo alivyofufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu kwa utukufu wa Baba, vivyo hivyo sisi nasi pia tupate kuenenda katika upya wa uzima.
We are buryed with him by baptim for to dye that lykewyse as Christ was raysed vp from deeth by the glorye of the father: eve so we also shuld walke in a newe lyfe.
5 Kwa maana ikiwa tumeungana naye katika mauti yake, bila shaka tutaungana naye katika ufufuo wake.
For yf we be graft in deeth lyke vnto him: even so must we be in the resurreccio.
6 Kwa maana twajua kwamba utu wetu wa kale ulisulubiwa pamoja naye ili ule mwili wa dhambi upate kuangamizwa, nasi tusiendelee kuwa tena watumwa wa dhambi.
This we must remeber that oure olde man is crucified with him also that the body of synne myght vtterly be destroyed that hence forth we shuld not be servauntes of synne.
7 Kwa maana mtu yeyote aliyekufa amehesabiwa haki mbali na dhambi.
For he that is deed ys iustified from synne.
8 Basi ikiwa tulikufa pamoja na Kristo, tunaamini kwamba pia tutaishi pamoja naye.
Wherfore yf we be deed with Christ we beleve that we shall live with him:
9 Kwa maana tunajua kwamba Kristo, kwa sababu alifufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu, hawezi kufa tena; mauti haina tena mamlaka juu yake.
remembringe that Christ once raysed fro deeth dyeth no more. Deeth hath no moare power over him.
10 Kifo alichokufa, aliifia dhambi mara moja tu, lakini uzima alio nao anamwishia Mungu.
For as touchynge that he dyed he dyed concernynge synne once. And as touchinge that he liveth he liveth vnto God.
11 Vivyo hivyo, jihesabuni wafu katika dhambi lakini mlio hai kwa Mungu katika Kristo Yesu.
Lykewyse ymagen ye also that ye are deed concernynge synne: but are alive vnto God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde.
12 Kwa hiyo, msiruhusu dhambi itawale ndani ya miili yenu, ipatikanayo na kufa, ili kuwafanya mzitii tamaa mbaya.
Let not synne raygne therfore in youre mortall bodyes that ye shuld thervnto obey in the lustes of it.
13 Wala msivitoe viungo vya miili yenu vitumike kama vyombo vya uovu vya kutenda dhambi, bali jitoeni kwa Mungu, kama watu waliotolewa kutoka mautini kuingia uzimani. Nanyi vitoeni viungo vya miili yenu kwake kama vyombo vya haki.
Nether geve ye youre members as instrumentes of vnrightewesnes vnto synne: but geve youre selves vnto God as they that are alive from deeth. And geve youre membres as iustrumetes of rightewesnes vnto God.
14 Kwa maana dhambi haitakuwa na mamlaka juu yenu, kwa sababu hampo chini ya sheria, bali chini ya neema.
Let not synne have power over you. For ye are not vnder the lawe but vnder grace.
15 Ni nini basi? Je, tutende dhambi kwa kuwa hatuko chini ya sheria bali chini ya neema? La, hasha!
What then? Shall we synne because we are not vnder the lawe: but vnder grace? God forbyd.
16 Je, hamjui kwamba mnapojitoa kwa mtu yeyote kama watumwa watiifu, ninyi ni watumwa wa yule mnayemtii, aidha watumwa wa dhambi, ambayo matokeo yake ni mauti, au watumwa wa utii ambao matokeo yake ni haki?
Remember ye not how yt to whom soever ye comit youre selves as servautes to obey his servauntes ye are to whom ye obey: whether it be of synne vnto deeth or of obedience vnto rightewesnes?
17 Lakini Mungu ashukuriwe kwa kuwa ninyi ambao kwanza mlikuwa watumwa wa dhambi, mmekuwa watii kutoka moyoni kwa mafundisho mliyopewa.
God be thanked yt though ye were once the servauntes of synne ye have yet obeyed with herte vnto the forme of doctryne wher vnto ye were delyvered.
18 Nanyi, mkiisha kuwekwa huru mbali na dhambi, mmekuwa watumwa wa haki.
Ye are then made fre from synne and are be come the servauntes of rightewesnes.
19 Ninasema kwa namna ya kibinadamu kwa sababu ya udhaifu wenu wa hali ya asili. Kama vile mlivyokuwa mkivitoa viungo vya miili yenu kama watumwa wa mambo machafu na uovu uliokuwa ukiongezeka zaidi, hivyo sasa vitoeni viungo vyenu kama watumwa wa haki inayowaelekeza mpate kutakaswa.
I will speake grossly because of the infirmitie of youre flesshe. As ye have geve youre membres servauntes to vnclennes and to iniquitie fro iniquitie vnto iniquitie: even so nowe geve youre membres servantes vnto rightewesnes yt ye maye be sanctified.
20 Mlipokuwa watumwa wa dhambi, mlikuwa hamtawaliwi na haki.
For when ye were the servauntes of synne ye were not vnder rightewesnes.
21 Lakini mlipata faida gani kwa mambo hayo ambayo sasa mnayaonea aibu? Mwisho wa mambo hayo ni mauti.
What frute had ye then in tho thinges wher of ye are now ashamed. For the ende of tho thynges is deeth.
22 Lakini sasa kwa kuwa mmewekwa huru mbali na dhambi na mmekuwa watumwa wa Mungu, faida mnayopata ni utakatifu, ambao mwisho wake ni uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
But now are ye delivered from synne and made the servauntes of God and have youre frute that ye shuld be sanctifyed and the ende everlastinge lyfe. (aiōnios g166)
