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 law), that the law has authority over someone 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 example, a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if the man should die, she is released from the law about the husband.
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 should ‘marry’ another man while her husband is living, she will be labeled an adulteress; but if the husband should die, she is free from that law, not being an adulteress 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 were put to death to the law through the body of the Christ so as to belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—so that we should produce 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.
Because when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our body parts to produce fruit to 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 we have been released from the law, having died to what was gripping us, so as to slave in newness of spirit and not in oldness of letter.
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”
So what shall we say then? Is the law sin? Of course not! Indeed, I would not have come to know the sin except through the law: I would not have recognized covetousness if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”
8 neke isambi jilyapatile inafasi ku lulaghilo lula kange jikaleta mu mwoojo ghwango uvunogheluo vwoni ulwakuva isambi kisila ndaghilo ijio jifwile.
But the sin, grasping an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. Now without the law sin is dead.
9 najune nilyale mwumi muvwandilo kisila ndaghilo, neke lwati lwisile ululaghilo lula isambi jikapata uvwumi, najune nikafua.
Once upon a time, without law, I was actually ‘alive’; but when the commandment came, the sin came to life and I died.
10 ululaghilo lula luno lwale luleta uvwumi lukasyetwike kuuva vufue kalyune.
Yes, the commandment that was to bring me life turned out to bring death.
11 ulwakuva isambi jilyapatile inafasi ku lulaghilo lula lukanisyangagha. kukilila ululaghilo lula lukanibuda.
Because the sin, grasping an opportunity through the commandment, completely deceived me, and used it to ‘kill’ me.
12 pe indaghilo vwe vwimike nu lulaghilo lula vwe vwimike vwa kyang'aani nu vunono.
So then, the law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy and 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.
So has what is good become death to me? Of course not! Rather the sin, that it might be exposed as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment the sin might become extremely 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 fleshly, having been ‘sold’ under sin
15 ulwakuva lino nivomba nanikwelevua kyang'haani, ulwakuva lila lino ninoghelua kuvomba, nanivomba, na lilia lino likalasia lyelyene nivomba.
—you see, I do not understand what I am doing: I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate!
16 neke nave ningavombe lila lino nanilighanile, niva nikwiting'ana ni ndaghilo ja kuva indaghilo je nono.
But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
17 neke lino na je numbula jango jene jino jivomba aghuo, looli isambi jino jilinkate jango.
So now it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin dwelling in me.
18 ulwakuva nikagula kuuti, nkate ja m'bili ghwango nalikukala lino linono, ulwakuva ulunogheluo lwa lino linono lulinkate jango, neke nanivomba.
Further, I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; because to will is present with me, but I do not find how to perform the good.
19 ulwakuva ilinono lila lino nivaghile kuvomba nanikulivomba, looli ilihosi lino nanilighanile lyelyene nivomba.
Because I do not do the good that I want to do; rather I practice the evil that 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.
Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin dwelling in me.
21 nikagwile kange kuuti mwevule uvutavike nkate jango uvwa kuvomba lino linono, neke kyang'haani uvuhosi vuli nkate jango.
So I find this ‘law’: when I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
22 ulwakuva nikujihovokela indaghilo ja Nguluve ku vu muunhu uva nkate.
I joyfully agree with God's law according to the inner man,
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 a different ‘law’ in my body parts, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive to the law of the sin that is in my body parts.
24 une nene muuunhu nyalusukunalo! ghweveni juno kyale ikumoka mu m'bili ughu ghwa vufue?
What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver 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.
I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, sin's law.
