Romafo 6
1 Afei, asɛm bɛn na yɛbɛka? Yɛbɛkɔ so atena bɔne mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a adom bɛdɔɔso ana?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that favour may abound?
2 Ɛnte saa koraa! Yɛawu ama bɔne, na adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ so tena bɔne mu?
By no means. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Anaa munnim sɛ bere a wɔbɔɔ yɛn nyinaa asu hyɛɛ Kristo Yesu mu no, wɔbɔɔ yɛn asu hyɛɛ ne wu mu?
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Yahushua the Messiah were baptized into his death?
4 Bere a wɔbɔɔ yɛn asu no, yewui na wosiee yɛn ne Kristo. Sɛnea Agya Onyankopɔn nam nʼanuonyam so nyan Kristo fii awufo mu baa nkwa mu no, saa ara nso na mprempren yɛte ase wɔ nkwa foforo mu.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as the Messiah was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 Na sɛ yɛne no ayɛ koro wɔ ne wu mu a, wɔbɛfa saa ɔkwan koro no ara so anyan yɛn aba nkwa mu, na yɛne no ayɛ baako.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Yenim sɛ wɔbɔɔ yɛn nipadua dedaw no ne Kristo asennua mu. Wɔyɛɛ eyi sɛnea nipadua dedaw a ɛyɛ bɔne no renyɛ bɔne nkoa bio,
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 efisɛ sɛ onipa wu a, na wɔayi no afi bɔne tumi ase.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Sɛ yɛne Kristo awu a, yɛwɔ gyidi sɛ yɛne no bɛtena.
Now if we be dead with the Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Efisɛ yenim sɛ wɔanyan Kristo afi owu mu, na ɔrenwu bio. Owu nni ne so tumi bio.
Knowing that the Messiah being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 Ne wu a owui no yɛɛ owuprɛko maa bɔne, na nʼase a ɔte yi, ɔte ma Onyankopɔn.
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto YHWH.
11 Ɛno nti saa ɔkwan koro ara so na ɛsɛ sɛ mofa mo ho sɛ moawu ama bɔne, na motena ase ma Onyankopɔn wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto YHWH through Yahushua the Messiah our Saviour.
12 Ɛnsɛ sɛ bɔne di mo nipadua a ewui no so na amma mo anyɛ bɔne.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Saa ara nso na ɛnsɛ sɛ mugyaw mo honam akwaa biara ma bɔne sɛ nneɛma a wɔde di amumɔyɛsɛm. Na mmom momfa mo ho mma Onyankopɔn sɛ nnipa a wɔanyan mo afi owu mu aba nkwa mu. Momfa mo ho nyinaa mma no, na ɔmfa mo nyɛ trenee nnwuma.
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto YHWH, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto YHWH.
14 Ɛnsɛ sɛ bɔne di mo so, efisɛ monhyɛ mmara ase, na mmom mohyɛ adom ase.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under favour.
15 Dɛn bio? Esiane sɛ yɛnhyɛ mmara ase na yɛhyɛ adom ase no nti, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ so yɛ bɔne ana? Dabi da.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under favour? By no means.
16 Munnim sɛ, nea mutie no ara na ne nkoa ne mo anaa? Sɛ ɛyɛ bɔne a ɛde kɔ owu mu, anaasɛ osetie a ɛde kɔ trenee.
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 Nanso yɛda Onyankopɔn ase. Efisɛ bere bi a atwa mu a na moyɛ bɔne nkoa no, mode mo koma nyinaa tiee nkyerɛkyerɛ a wɔde maa mo no.
But YHWH be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Wɔagye mo afi bɔne mu ama moabɛyɛ nkoa ama trenee.
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 Esiane mo nipasu nti, mede nkoasom ho mfonitwa reboa mo ama moate eyinom nyinaa ase. Sɛnea mmere bi mode mo ho nyinaa maa sɛ afide ne amumɔyɛsɛm nkoa no, afei de momfa nyɛ nkoa mma trenee nkɔ kronkronyɛ mu.
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 Bere a na moyɛ bɔne nkoa no, na treneeyɛ nni mo so tumi.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 Moyɛɛ nneyɛe a afei de mo ani wu wɔ ho no, mfaso bɛn na munyae? Nea ekowiei ne owu.
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 Nanso mprempren wɔagye mo afi owu mu ama moabɛyɛ Onyankopɔn nkoa. Mfaso a munya wɔ mu no kɔ kronkronyɛ mu, na nea efi mu ba yɛ nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to YHWH, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
