Romafoɔ 7
1 Nokorɛm, me nuanom, ɛsiane sɛ mo nyinaa nim Mmara no enti, mote deɛ mepɛ sɛ meka no ase; mmerɛ dodoɔ a onipa te ase no, mmara di ne so.
Temumanyi abooluganda, kubanga njogera eri abamanyi amateeka, ng’amateeka gafuga oyo yekka akyali omulamu?
2 Ɔbaa warefoɔ sei, sɛ ɔte ase nko ara deɛ a, ɔhyɛ ne kunu mmara ase, na sɛ okunu no wu deɛ 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 enti, sɛ ɔkɔ ɔbarima foforɔ ho ɛberɛ a ne kunu te ase a, wɔfrɛ no ɔwaresɛefoɔ; na sɛ ne kunu no wu a, na ɔnhyɛ saa mmara no ase bio, ɛno enti sɛ ɔware ɔbarima foforɔ a, ɔnyɛ ɔwaresɛefoɔ.
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, Yesu wu a ɔwuiɛ enti moawu afiri mmara no tumi aseɛ. Ne saa enti, mone ɔno a wɔnyanee no firii awufoɔ mu abom sɛdeɛ mobɛtumi 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 Ɛberɛ a na yɛte ase ma yɛn ho no, yɛn bɔnesu nam mmara no so kanyanee yɛn wɔ yɛn mu maa yɛyɛɛ adwuma maa owuo.
Kubanga bwe twali tukyafugibwa omubiri, okwegomba kw’ebibi kwakoleranga mu bitundu byaffe eby’omubiri olw’amateeka, era enkomerero kwali kufa.
6 Afei deɛ, yɛnhyɛ mmara biara ase ɛfiri sɛ, yɛwu firii deɛ ɛkyekyeree yɛn sɛ nneduafoɔ no ase. Afei deɛ, yɛnhyɛ mmara biara a wɔatwerɛ no dada ase bio, na mmom, yɛnam honhom foforɔ 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 anaa? Dabi! Mmom, ɛnam mmara so na mehunuu sɛdeɛ bɔne teɛ. Sɛ ɛnyɛ mmara no na ɛkaa sɛ, “Mma wʼani mmere obi adeɛ” a, anka mennim anibereɛ.
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 mmaransɛm no so kekaa ne ho wɔ me mu, maa mʼani beree nneɛma ahodoɔ 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 mɛhunu mmara no na mewɔ nkwa. Nanso mmaransɛm no baeɛ no, metee bɔne ase, na mewuiɛ.
Edda nali mulamu awatali mateeka, naye etteeka bwe lyajja, ekibi ne kiramuka, n’okufa ne nfa.
10 Mehunuu sɛ, mmaransɛm a anka ɛde nkwa bɛba no de owuo baeɛ.
Era ne nkizuula ng’etteeka eryali liteekwa okumpa obulamu, lye lyandetera okufa.
11 Bɔne nam mmaransɛm no so nyaa ɛkwan daadaa me; ɛnam mmaransɛm no so ma bɔne kumm me.
Ekibi kyeyambisa ekiragiro ekyo ne kinnimba, era ne kinzita.
12 Nanso mmara no yɛ kronkron; na mmaransɛm no nso yɛ kronkron. Ɛtene na ɛyɛ nso.
Noolwekyo amateeka matukuvu, era n’ekiragiro kitukuvu, kiruŋŋamya era kirungi.
13 Adeɛ a ɛyɛ no bɛyɛɛ owuo maa me anaa? Dabi! Nanso sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛbɛhunu bɔne sɛ bɔne no, ɛfaa deɛ ɛyɛ so de owuo brɛɛ me. Enti bɔne nam mmaransɛm so maa me hunuu sɛ bɔne yɛ adeɛ 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 Yɛnim sɛ mmara no yɛ honhom mu adeɛ 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 deɛ meyɛ ase; ɛfiri sɛ, menyɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ, na mmom, meyɛ deɛ mekyi.
Kubanga kye nkola sikimanyi. Kye njagala si kye nkola, naye kye nkyawa kye nkola.
16 Sɛ meyɛ deɛ mempɛ sɛ meyɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, mepene so sɛ mmara no yɛ.
Newaakubadde nga nkola kye mmanyi nga kikyamu, nzikiriza ng’amateeka malungi.
17 Sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ no, ɛnyɛ mʼankasa na meyɛ yei; na mmom bɔne a ɛte me mu no.
Noolwekyo si nze nkola ebintu ebyo ebibi, wabula ekibi ekiri mu nze.
18 Menim sɛ ade pa biara nte me mu, me bɔne nipasu yi mu. Ɛfiri sɛ, mepɛ sɛ meyɛ deɛ ɛyɛ, nanso mentumi nyɛ.
Mmanyi nga mu nze, temuli kalungi n’akamu. Ne bwe njagala okukola ekirungi, tewali kirungi kye nkola.
19 Papa 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 deɛ mempɛ sɛ meyɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛnyɛ me na meyɛeɛ, 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 mahunu sɛ biribi te me mu a ɛmma mennyɛ deɛ menim sɛ ɛyɛ.
Noolwekyo nzudde mu mateeka nga bwe njagala okukola ebirungi, ekibi kimbeera kumpi.
22 Mʼakoma nyinaa mu, megye Onyankopɔn mmara to mu.
Mu nze mu muntu ow’omunda njagala nnyo okugondera amateeka ga Katonda.
23 Nanso, mefiri mʼakwaa nyinaa mu hunu sɛ biribi ne mʼadwene di apereapereɛ. Ɛma me yɛ bɔne akoa, na ɛno na ɛhyɛ me ma me yɛ 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 Menni ahotɔ! Hwan na ɔbɛgye me afiri saa ɔhonam a ɛde me rekɔ owuo mu yi?
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, 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.
