Romans 6
1 A diambu mbi tutuba e? Tutatamana volanga kueto masumu muingi nlemvo wuwoka e?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Nana! Sumbu beto tuidi tufua mu masumu, buna buevi tulenda buela zingila diaka mu masumu e?
By no means: how shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 A buevi, lukadi zaba ti beto boso bobo tubotama mu Yesu Klisto, tubotama mu diambu di lufua luandi e?
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
4 Tuziku va kimosi ayi niandi mu mbotokolo yi tubotama mu diambu di lufua muingi banga bu fulukila Klisto mu bafua mu nzila yi nkembo wu Tata, beto mamveto tuzinga luzingu lumona.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 Bila enati tufubakana ayi niandi mu lufua luandi buna tuela fubakana ayi niandi mu mfulukulu andi.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:
6 Bu tuzebi ti kimutu kieto kikhulu kibandu va kimosi ayi niandi va dikulusi muingi nitu yi masumu yi biva mu diambu tubika buela ba bavika ba masumu.
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 Bila mutu wowo wufua, wukulu mu masumu.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Muaki enati tufua va kimosi ayi Klisto, buna tunwilukila ti tuela zinga va kimosi ayi niandi.
Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Bu tuzebi ti Yesu wufuluka mu bafua, kalendi buela fua ko. Lufua lusiedi diaka lulendo mu niandi ko.
Knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 Bila wufua vayi wufua mfua yimosi mu diambu di masumu ayi bu kalembo zingi, wulembo zingi mu diambu di Nzambi.
For in that he died, he died to sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.
11 Diawu beno mamveno lukimonanga beno veka banga beno lumana fua mu diambu di masumu ayi lulembo zingi mu diambu di Nzambi mu Yesu Klisto.
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Diawu bika masumu mabika buela yadila zinitu zieno ziozizimfuanga muingi lubika buela tumimina zitsatu ziandi zimbimbi.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts of it.
13 Lubika tambika binama bieno ku tsi luyalu lu masumu banga bisadulu bi mambu mambimbi. Vayi bika lukitambika beno veka kuidi Nzambi banga batu bafuluka mu bafua mu diambu di luzingu ayi lutambika binama bieno kuidi Nzambi banga bisadulu bi mambu masonga.
Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness to sin: but yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness to God:
14 Bila masumu malendi buela ku luyadila ko bu lusiedi ko ku tsi luyalu lu Mina vayi lueka ku tsi luyalu lu nlemvo.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 Buna buevi e? Tutatamana kueto volanga masumu bu didi ti tusiedi ku tsi luyalu lu Mina ko vayi ku tsi luyalu lu nlemvo e? Nana!
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means.
16 Lukadi zaba ti bu lukiyekudi banga bavika kuidi mutu mu diambu di kuntumimina buna lueka bavika ba mutu wowo lulembo tumimina; mananga luidi bavika ba masumu mannatanga ku lufua voti mananga luidi bavika ba tumamana kunnatanga ku luzingu lu busonga e?
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 Vayi matondo kuidi Nzambi bila bu luba bavika ba masumu lutumukina mu mintima mieno malongi ma lulongo.
But God 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 Bu lumana kulu mu masumu, luyika bavika ba busonga.
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 Mu kimutu ndilembo tubila mu diambu di lebakana kueno ku nitu. Bila banga bu luyekula binama bieno mu kivika ki tsumukunu ayi ki mambu mambimbi mu diambu di vanganga mambu mambimbi, buawu bobo luyekudila buabu binama bieno banga bavika mu busonga mu diambu di vanga mambu manlongo.
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, to ([work] ) iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness, to ([work] ) holiness.
20 Bila bu luba bavika ba masumu, lusia ba ku tsi luyalu lu busonga ko.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 Buna mimbutu mbi lumbuta mu mambu momo lulembo fuila buabu tsoni e? Bila tsukulu yi mambu beni lufua.
What fruit had ye then in those things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things [is] death.
22 Vayi buabu bu lukululu mu masumu ayi luyikidi bavika ba Nzambi, buna mbutu lumbuta wawu wawu: luzingu lunlongo ayi ku tsuka luzingu lukalumani. (aiōnios g166)
But now being made free from sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
