varumi 7
1 neke namukagula vanyalukolo vango [ulwakuva nijova na vaanhu vanovikujikagula indaghilo], kuuti indaghilo jikuntema umuunhu pano iva mwumi?
Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
2 ulwakuva un'dala juno atolilue apinyilue ni ndaghilo kwa mughosi ghwake pano iiva mwumi, neke nave umughosi ghwake ifua iiva hulu kuhuma mu ndaghilo ja vutolue.
For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
3 pe lino unsiki ghuno umughosi ghwake ale mwumi nave ikukala nu mughosi ujunge, ikemelua muvwafu. neke nave umughosi kwake angafue alihulu kuhuma mu ndaghilo, pe naiva m'bwafu nave ikukala nu mughosi uunge.
So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
4 pe lino vanyalukolo vango, jumue kange mulyavombilue vafue mu ndaghilo kusila ja m'bili ghwa Kilisite. luli ndiki neke mupate kulunganisia nujunge, kwa mwene juno akasilulivue kuhuma ku vafue neke tuwesie kukumuholela uNguluve imheke.
Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
5 ulwakuva ye tulyale mu lwa m'bili inogheluo sa sambi sika sisimulivue kuhuma mifilungilo fya mavili ghitu ku sila ja ndaghilo na kuvuhola imheke mu vufue.
For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.
6 neke lino tudindulivue kuhuma kundaghilo. tujifwilile ihali jila jinojatupingagha, neke tupate kutumika mu hali ja Mhepo uMwimike, sio ku hali ija pakali ja malembe.
But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
7 tuti kiki? indaghilo je sambi? Ndali! nambe lino, nanale nikagula isambi najale jivisaghe ku sila ja ndaghilo. ulwakuva nanalejikagula u ndavule indaghilo najale jijova,”nunganoghuaghe”
What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
8 neke isambi jilyapatile inafasi ku lulaghilo lula kange jikaleta mu mwoojo ghwango uvunogheluo vwoni ulwakuva isambi kisila ndaghilo ijio jifwile.
But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 najune nilyale mwumi muvwandilo kisila ndaghilo, neke lwati lwisile ululaghilo lula isambi jikapata uvwumi, najune nikafua.
Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
10 ululaghilo lula luno lwale luleta uvwumi lukasyetwike kuuva vufue kalyune.
So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
11 ulwakuva isambi jilyapatile inafasi ku lulaghilo lula lukanisyangagha. kukilila ululaghilo lula lukanibuda.
For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
12 pe indaghilo vwe vwimike nu lulaghilo lula vwe vwimike vwa kyang'aani nu vunono.
So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
13 pe lino lila lino linono vwale vufue kulyune? nalungavisaghe nahele ku fighono fyoni. neke kuuti isambi jivoneka kuva je sambi kyongo kukilila ilinono lila, jikaletile uvufue nkate jango. ili lilyale kuuti kukilila ululaghilo lula, isambi jighinaghe kuva mbivi kyongo.
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 ulwakuva tukagula kuuti isambi uvutengulilo vwake mwe mumwoojo, neke une nilimuunhu ghwa m'bili, vanighusisie paasi pa vusung'ua vwa sambi.
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
15 ulwakuva lino nivomba nanikwelevua kyang'haani, ulwakuva lila lino ninoghelua kuvomba, nanivomba, na lilia lino likalasia lyelyene nivomba.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.
16 neke nave ningavombe lila lino nanilighanile, niva nikwiting'ana ni ndaghilo ja kuva indaghilo je nono.
And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
17 neke lino na je numbula jango jene jino jivomba aghuo, looli isambi jino jilinkate jango.
In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
18 ulwakuva nikagula kuuti, nkate ja m'bili ghwango nalikukala lino linono, ulwakuva ulunogheluo lwa lino linono lulinkate jango, neke nanivomba.
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
19 ulwakuva ilinono lila lino nivaghile kuvomba nanikulivomba, looli ilihosi lino nanilighanile lyelyene nivomba.
For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.
20 lino nave nivomba lila lino nanilighanile na nene june nejuno nivomba, looli je sambi jino jikukala n'kate jango.
And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 nikagwile kange kuuti mwevule uvutavike nkate jango uvwa kuvomba lino linono, neke kyang'haani uvuhosi vuli nkate jango.
So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
22 ulwakuva nikujihovokela indaghilo ja Nguluve ku vu muunhu uva nkate.
For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
23 neke nikuvwagha uvutavike vuno navwevwene mufilungilo fya m'bili ghwango. najilutana nu vutavike uvupya muluhala lwango. jikunivomba une kuuva nsung'ua kuvutavike vwa sambi jino mwejili mufilungilo fya m'bili ghwango
But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.
24 une nene muuunhu nyalusukunalo! ghweveni juno kyale ikumoka mu m'bili ughu ghwa vufue?
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 neke luhongesio kwa Nguluve kwa Yesu Kilisite Mutwa ghwitu! pe lino. une kuluhala lwango nikujivombela indaghilo ja Nguluve. looli ku m'bili nikuvuvombela uvutavike vwa sambi.
Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
