Loma 8

1 Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha fakamalaʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ki he kakano, ka ki he Laumālie.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

2 He ko e fono ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe moʻui ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, kuo ne fakatauʻatāina au mei he fono ʻoe angahala mo e mate.

For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death.

3 He ko ia naʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he fono, ko e meʻa ʻi hono vaivai ʻi he kakano, kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi heʻene fekau hono ʻAlo ʻoʻona ʻi he tatau ʻoe kakano angahala, pea ko e feilaulau ki he angahala, pea ne fakavaivai ʻae angahala ʻi he kakano:

For there was an impotency of the law, in which it was weak through depravity, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the sin of depravity and for sin, condemned sin in depravity:

4 Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ki he māʻoniʻoni ʻoe fono ʻekitautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ki he kakano, ka ki he Laumālie.

in order that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to depravity, but according to the spirit.

5 He ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻoe kakano, ʻoku nau tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe kakano; ka ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻoe Laumālie, ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Laumālie.

For those being in harmony with depravity, do mind the things of depravity, and those in harmony with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit:

6 He ko e loto fakakakano, ko e mate ia; ka ko e loto fakalaumālie, ko e moʻui ia mo e melino.

for the mind of depravity is death: and the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.

7 Koeʻuhi ko e loto fakakakano, ko e taufehiʻa ia ki he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai ke moʻulaloa ia ki he fono ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa fai ke pehē.

Therefore the mind of depravity is enmity toward God: for it is not subordinated to the law of God, for it is not able so to be.

8 Ko ia ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he kakano, ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ke fiemālie ʻae ʻOtua.

But those being in depravity are not able to please God.

9 Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he kakano ʻakimoutolu, ka ʻi he Laumālie, ʻo kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻae Laumālie ʻo Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ia.

But ye are not in depravity, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any one has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

10 Pea kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe Kalaisi, pea kuo mate moʻoni ʻae sino, ko e meʻa ʻi he angahala; kae moʻui ʻae laumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.

But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned.

11 Pea kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻo ia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu mei he pekia, pea ko ia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, te ne fakaake foki mo homou sino matengofua ʻaki hono Laumālie ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also create life in your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who dwells in you.

12 Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ko e kau fai totongi ʻakitautolu, kae ʻikai ki he kakano, ke tau moʻui ki he kakano.

Then therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to depravity, to live according to depravity.

13 He kapau te mou moʻui ki he kakano, te mou mate: ka ʻoka mou ka tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi anga ʻoe kakano ʻaki ʻae Laumālie, te mou moʻui.

For if you live according to depravity, you are about to die: but if through the Spirit you kill the practices of the body, you shall live.

14 He ko kinautolu ʻoku takiekina ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻakinautolu ʻoe ʻOtua.

For so many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

15 He ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻekimoutolu ʻae laumālie ʻoe pōpula, ke mou toe manavahē; ka kuo mou maʻu ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ohi, ʻaia ʻoku tau tangi ai, “ʻApā, Tamai.”

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but you received the Spirit of adoption, in which we cry; Father, Father.

16 Pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumālie pē ko ia mo hotau laumālie, ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakitautolu:

The Spirit Himself witnesses along with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

17 Pea kapau ko e fānau, pea tā ko e kau hoko; ko e kau hoko ki he ʻOtua, pea ko e kau hoko fakataha mo Kalaisi; ʻo kapau te tau mamahi mo ia, koeʻuhi ke tau maʻu ʻae hakeakiʻi fakataha mo ia.

And if children, indeed heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if we suffer together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

18 He ʻoku ou pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ngali ke fakatatau ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻoe moʻui ni ki he nāunau ʻaia ʻe fakahā kiate kitautolu.

For I reckon that the sufferings of these present times are not worthy to be compared to the glory which is about to be revealed in us.

19 He ko e holi lahi ʻoe māmani, ʻoku tatali ia ki he fakahā ʻae fānau ʻae ʻOtua.

For the earnest expectation of the creature awaits the revelation of the sons of God.

20 He naʻe fakamoʻulaloa ʻa māmani ki he vaʻinga, (kae ʻikai loto ia ki ai, ka ko e meʻa ʻiate ia kuo ne fakamoʻulaloa ia, ) ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei:

For the creature has been subordinated to mortality, not willingly, but through Him who subordinated it;

21 He koeʻuhi ʻe fakahaofi ʻa māmani mei he haʻi ʻoe ʻauʻauha ki he tauʻatāina monūʻia ʻoe fānau ʻae ʻOtua.

therefore indeed pursuant to hope, the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

22 He ʻoku tau ʻilo, ʻoku toʻetoʻe mo feinga ʻi he langā fakataha ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki heni.

For we know that all creation groans together and travails together until now;

23 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ko ia pē, ka ko kitautolu foki, ʻakitautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻae ʻuluaki fua ʻoe Laumālie, ʻio, ʻoku tau toʻetoʻe ʻi loto ʻiate kitautolu, mo tatali ki he ohi, ʻa ia, ko e huhuʻi ʻo hotau sino.

and not only so, but we ourselves, having the earnest of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of sons, the redemption of our body.

24 He ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻamanaki lelei: ka ko e ʻamanaki ʻoku maʻu, ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻamanaki ia, he ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tangata, ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻa ʻene kei ʻamanaki ki ai?

For we are saved by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for why does any one indeed hope for that which he sees?

25 Pea kapau ʻoku tau ʻamanaki lelei ki he meʻa ʻoku heʻeki ai te tau maʻu, ʻoku tau tatali faʻa kātaki pe ki ai.

But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

26 Pea ko e Laumālie foki, ʻoku ne tokoniʻi ʻetau ngaahi vaivai: he ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke tau lotua; ka ʻoku hūfekina ʻakitautolu ʻe he Laumālie pe ko ia ʻi he ngaahi toʻe ʻoku taʻefaʻaleaʻaki.

And likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as it behooves us: but the Spirit himself makes intercession with unutterable groanings:

27 Ka ko ia ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae loto, ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi mo e finangalo ʻoe Laumālie, he ʻoku ne hūfekina ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻo taau mo e ʻOtua.

but he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession towards God in behalf of the saints.

28 Pea ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku fengāueʻaki fakataha ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke lelei ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ʻakinautolu kuo ui ʻo tatau mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni.

But we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose.

29 He ko kinautolu naʻa ne tomuʻa ʻilo, naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni foki ki he tatau ʻo hono ʻAlo, koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he kāinga tokolahi:

Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

30 Pea ko kinautolu naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni, naʻa ne ui ʻakinautolu foki: pea ko kinautolu naʻa ne ui, naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi ʻakinautolu foki: pea ko kinautolu naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi, naʻa ne hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu.

and whom He did foreknow, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them He also glorified.

31 Pea ko e hā te tau leaʻaki ki he ngaahi meʻa ni? Ka kuo kau ʻae ʻOtua maʻatautolu, pea ko hai ʻe angatuʻu kiate kitautolu?

Then what shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32 Ko ia ia naʻe ʻikai te ne mamae ki hono ʻAlo ʻoʻona, ka ne tukuange ia koeʻuhi ko kitautolu kotoa pē, pea fēfē, ʻe ʻikai te ne foaki fiemālie foki mo ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate kitautolu?

Indeed he who spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with him, freely give us all things?

33 Ko hai te ne talatalaakiʻi ʻae kakai kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua? Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku ne fakatonuhiaʻi.

Who will lay anything to the charge of God's elect?

34 Ko hai ia ʻoku ne fakahalaia? Ko Kalaisi ia naʻe pekia, ʻio, pea kuo toetuʻu hake, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne fai ʻae hūfekina foki maʻatautolu.

It is God who justifies: who is he that condemns? It is Christ who died, and rather who is risen, who is on the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding in our behalf.

35 Ko hai te ne fakamāvae ʻakitautolu mei he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi? ʻAe mahaki, pe ko e mamahi, pe ko e fakatanga, pe ko e honge, pe ko e telefua, pe ko e tuʻutāmaki, pe ko e heletā?

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 ‌ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Koeʻuhi ko koe ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; pea lau ʻakimautolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ki he tāmateʻi.”

As has been written, that We are killed all day for thy sake; we are counted as sheep of the slaughter.

37 Ka ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻoku tau ikuna pea mālohi lahi ʻiate ia naʻe ʻofa kiate kitautolu.

But in all these we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 He ʻoku ou ʻilo pau, ʻe ʻikai ʻi he he kau ʻāngelo, pe ʻi he kau pule, pe ʻi he ngaahi mālohi, pe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻi heni, pe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko,

For I am persuaded that, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Pe ʻi he māʻolunga, pe ʻi he māʻulalo, pe ʻi ha meʻa kehe ʻe taha kuo ngaohi, ʻe ʻikai mafai ia ke fakamāvae ʻakitautolu mei he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki.

nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
