Romafo 7
1 Me nuanom, munim sɛ esiane sɛ mo nyinaa nim mmara no nti, mote nea mepɛ sɛ meka no ase sɛ; mmere dodow a onipa te ase no, mmara di ne so ana?
Temumanyi abooluganda, kubanga njogera eri abamanyi amateeka, ng’amateeka gafuga oyo yekka akyali omulamu?
2 Te sɛ ɔbea warefo, mmere dodow a okunu no te ase no de, ɔhyɛ ne kunu mmara ase, na sɛ okunu no wu de a, na ɔnhyɛ ne kunu mmara ase bio.
Ka mbawe ekyokulabirako: mu mateeka omukazi omufumbo, asigala nga wa bba, bba bw’aba ng’akyali mulamu. Naye bba bw’afa, omukazi oyo ng’asumuluddwa mu tteeka eribagatta.
3 Ɛno nti sɛ ɔkɔ ɔbarima foforo ho wɔ bere a ne kunu te ase a, wɔfrɛ no ɔwaresɛefo; na sɛ ne kunu no wu a na ɔnhyɛ saa mmara no ase bio; ɛno nti sɛ ɔware ɔbarima foforo a, ɔnyɛ ɔwaresɛefo.
Noolwekyo omukazi oyo bwe yeegatta n’omusajja omulala, bba ng’akyali mulamu, omukazi oyo anaayitibwanga mwenzi. Naye bba bw’afanga, olwo omukazi omufumbo anaabanga asumuluddwa mu tteeka, era taabenga mwenzi bw’anaafumbirwanga omusajja omulala.
4 Afei me nuanom, mo nso, Kristo wu a owui nti moawu afi mmara no tumi ase. Ne saa nti, mone ɔno a wonyan no fii awufo mu abom sɛnea mobetumi asom Onyankopɔn.
Nammwe baganda bange mwafa eri amateeka, muli ba mubiri gwa Kristo. Mwegatta ku Kristo eyazuukizibwa okuva mu bafu, tulyoke tubale ebibala ebisanyusa Katonda.
5 Bere a na yɛte ase ma yɛn ho no, yɛn bɔne su nam mmara no so kanyan yɛn wɔ yɛn mu ma yɛyɛɛ adwuma maa owu.
Kubanga bwe twali tukyafugibwa omubiri, okwegomba kw’ebibi kwakoleranga mu bitundu byaffe eby’omubiri olw’amateeka, era enkomerero kwali kufa.
6 Afei de, yɛnhyɛ mmara biara ase efisɛ yewu fii nea ɛkyekyeree yɛn sɛ nneduafo no ase. Afei de, yɛnhyɛ mmara biara a wɔakyerɛw no dedaw ase bio, na mmom yɛnam honhom foforo kwan so na ɛsom.
Naye kaakano tetukyafugibwa mateeka. Tuli bafu eri ebyo ebyali bitusibye, era tebitulinaako buyinza. Noolwekyo tuyinza okuweereza Katonda mu ngeri empya eya Mwoyo Mutukuvu, so si mu nkola enkadde ey’amateeka.
7 Enti asɛm bɛn na yɛnka? Mmara no yɛ bɔne ana? Dabi da! Mmom, ɛnam mmara so na mihuu sɛnea bɔne te. Sɛ ɛnyɛ mmara no na ɛkaa sɛ, “Mma wʼani mmere obi ade” a, anka minnim anibere.
Kale tunaayogera ki? Amateeka kye kibi? Kikafuuwe. Singa tewaali mateeka, sanditegedde kibi. N’okwegomba kw’omubiri sandikutegeeredde ddala singa amateeka tegaagamba nti, “Teweegombanga.”
8 Bɔne nyaa kwan nam mmara nsɛm no so kekaa ne ho wɔ me mu, maa mʼani beree nneɛma ahorow bebree. Sɛ mmara no nni hɔ a, bɔne nso nni tumi.
Ekibi kyeyambisa etteeka lino, ne kindeetera okwegomba okwa buli ngeri. Noolwekyo awatali mateeka, ekibi kiba kifu.
9 Ansa na mehu mmara no na mewɔ nkwa. Nanso mmaransɛm no bae no, metee bɔne ase, na miwui.
Edda nali mulamu awatali mateeka, naye etteeka bwe lyajja, ekibi ne kiramuka, n’okufa ne nfa.
10 Mihuu sɛ mmaransɛm a anka ɛde nkwa bɛba no, de owu bae.
Era ne nkizuula ng’etteeka eryali liteekwa okumpa obulamu, lye lyandetera okufa.
11 Bɔne nam mmaransɛm no so nyaa kwan daadaa me; ɛnam mmaransɛm no so maa bɔne kum me.
Ekibi kyeyambisa ekiragiro ekyo ne kinnimba, era ne kinzita.
12 Nanso mmara no yɛ kronkron; na Mmaransɛm no nso yɛ kronkron, ɛteɛ na eye nso.
Noolwekyo amateeka matukuvu, era n’ekiragiro kitukuvu, kiruŋŋamya era kirungi.
13 Ade a eye no bɛyɛɛ owu maa me ana? Dabi da! Nanso sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yebehu bɔne sɛ bɔne no, ɛfaa nea eye so de owu brɛɛ me. Enti bɔne nam mmaransɛm so maa me huu sɛ bɔne yɛ ade a ɛyɛ hu.
Kale ekirungi gye ndi, ate kye kyafuuka okufa? Nedda. Ekibi kye kyakozesa ekiragiro ekirungi kiryoke kinzite. Noolwekyo tulaba ekibi bwe kiri, ekibi ddala.
14 Yenim sɛ mmara no yɛ honhom mu ade nanso meyɛ ɔhonam muni a wɔatɔn me sɛ akoa ama bɔne.
Tumanyi ng’amateeka mwoyo, naye nze omuntu obuntu, natundibwa ng’omuddu nfugibwe ekibi.
15 Mente nea meyɛ ase; efisɛ menyɛ nea ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ na mmom, meyɛ nea mikyi.
Kubanga kye nkola sikimanyi. Kye njagala si kye nkola, naye kye nkyawa kye nkola.
16 Sɛ meyɛ nea mempɛ sɛ meyɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ mepene so sɛ mmara no ye.
Newaakubadde nga nkola kye mmanyi nga kikyamu, nzikiriza ng’amateeka malungi.
17 Sɛnea ɛte no, ɛnyɛ mʼankasa na meyɛ eyi; na mmom bɔne a ɛte me mu no.
Noolwekyo si nze nkola ebintu ebyo ebibi, wabula ekibi ekiri mu nze.
18 Minim sɛ ade pa biara nte me mu, me bɔne nipasu yi mu. Efisɛ mepɛ sɛ meyɛ nea eye nanso mintumi nyɛ.
Mmanyi nga mu nze, temuli kalungi n’akamu. Ne bwe njagala okukola ekirungi, tewali kirungi kye nkola.
19 Papa a mepɛ sɛ meyɛ no, menyɛ; mmom bɔne a mempɛ sɛ meyɛ no na meyɛ.
Ekirungi kye njagala okukola si kye nkola, naye ekibi kye saagala kye nkola.
20 Sɛ meyɛ nea mempɛ sɛ meyɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛnyɛ me na meyɛe, na mmom ɛyɛ bɔne a ɛte me mu no.
Naye obanga kye saagala kye nkola, si nze mba nkikola, wabula ekibi ekibeera mu nze.
21 Mmara no ama mahu sɛ biribi te me mu a ɛmma mennyɛ nea minim sɛ eye.
Noolwekyo nzudde mu mateeka nga bwe njagala okukola ebirungi, ekibi kimbeera kumpi.
22 Me koma nyinaa mu, migye Onyankopɔn mmara to mu.
Mu nze mu muntu ow’omunda njagala nnyo okugondera amateeka ga Katonda.
23 Nanso mifi mʼakwaa nyinaa mu hu sɛ biribi ne mʼadwene di aperepere, ɛma meyɛ bɔne akoa, na ɛno na ɛhyɛ me ma meyɛ biribiara.
Naye mu mubiri gwange gwonna, ndaba amateeka ag’enjawulo nga gawakana n’etteeka lya Katonda amagezi gange ge limanyi. Ekyo kinfuula omusibe w’amateeka ag’ekibi, ekikolera mu mubiri gwange.
24 Minni ahotɔ! Hena na obegye me afi saa ɔhonam a ɛde me rekɔ owu mu yi mu?
Nga ndi muntu munaku! Ani alindokola mu mubiri guno ogugenda okufa?
25 Menam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo so meda Onyankopɔn ase. Na afei mʼankasa mʼadwene mu no, meyɛ akoa ma Onyankopɔn mmara, nanso bɔne nipasu mu no, meyɛ akoa ma bɔne.
Kyokka Katonda yeebazibwe mu Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe. Nze kennyini mu birowoozo byange, ndi muddu w’amateeka ga Katonda era gwe mpeereza, newaakubadde ng’okwegomba kwange okw’omubiri, mpeereza etteeka ly’ekibi.
