Romans 8

1 Diawu, kusiedi buabu mbedoso ko kuidi batu bobo badi mu Klisto Yesu.

Hence there is now, no, condemnation unto them who are in Christ Jesus;

2 Bila Mina mi Pheve yimvananga luzingu mu Klisto Yesu mikhula mu mina mi masumu ayi mi lufua.

For, the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath set thee free from the law of sin and of death; —

3 Bila, mambu momo malembakana vanga Mina bu miba milebakana mu diambu di nsuni, Nzambi wuvanga mawu bu kafidisa muanꞌandi mu lunitu ludedakana banga lunitu lu batu ba masumu ayi muingi kakituka dikaba mu diambu di masumu. Buawu bobo kabedisila masumu madi mu lunitu lu kimutu;

For, what was impossible by the law in that it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

4 mu diambu di dukisa busonga bu Mina mu beto tulembo diatila boso buididi Pheve vayi bika boso buididi nsuni.

In order that, the righteous requirement of the law, might be fulfilled in us—who, not according to flesh, do walk, but according to spirit;

5 Bila batu bobo bandiatila boso buididi nsuni, bantulanga mayindu mawu mu mambu ma nsuni; vayi bobo bandiatila boso buididi Pheve bantulanga mayindu mawu mu mambu ma Pheve.

For, they who according to flesh have their being, the things of the flesh do prefer, but, they according to the spirit, the things of the spirit;

6 Bila tula mayindu mu nsuni mannatanga ku lufua vayi tula mayindu mu pheve mannatanga ku luzingu ayi ndembama.

For, what is preferred by the flesh, [is] death, whereas, what is preferred by the spirit, [is] life and peace; —

7 Bila mayindu ma kinsuni mawizananga ko ayi Nzambi; bila makinzikanga Mina mi Nzambi ko ayi malendi ku mikinzika ko.

Inasmuch as, what is preferred by the flesh, [is] hostile towards God, for, unto the law of God, it doth not submit itself, neither in fact can it.—

8 Muaki batu bobo badi mu nsuni balendi monisa Nzambi khini ko.

They, moreover, who in flesh have their being, cannot please, God.

9 Muaki beno lusiedi mu nsuni ko vayi mu Pheve enati Pheve yi Nzambi yidi mu beno. Vayi enati mutu kasi ko pheve yi Klisto, buna mutu wowo kasi vuiwulu kuidi Klisto ko.

But, ye, have not your being in flesh, but in spirit, —if at least, God’s Spirit, dwelleth in you; and, if anyone hath not Christ’s Spirit, the same, is not his; —

10 Vayi enati Klisto widi mu beno, buna nitu yifua mu diambu di masumu vayi pheve yilembo zingi mu diambu di busonga.

But, if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead by reason of sin, whereas, the spirit, is life by reason of righteousness;

11 Enati Pheve yi Nzambi yoyi wufulukisa Yesu mu bafua widi mu beno, buna mutu wowo wufulukisa Klisto mu bafua wela zingisa zinitu zieno zimfuanga mu diambu di Pheve andi yidi mu beno.

If, moreover, the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from among the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised from among the dead Christ Jesus, shall make alive [even] your death-doomed bodies, through means of his indwelling Spirit within you.

12 Diawu bakhomba, pholo yidi yeto; vayi bika kuidi nsuni mu diambu di zingila boso buididi nsuni.

Hence, then, brethren—debtors, we are, not unto the flesh, that, according to flesh, we should live, —

13 Bila enati lunzingila boso buididi nsuni, buna luela fua. Vayi enati lulembo vondi mavanga ma nitu mu lulendo lu pheve, buna luela zinga.

For, if according to flesh ye live, ye are about to die, whereas, if in spirit, the practices of the flesh, ye are putting to death, ye shall attain unto life;

14 Bila batu boso bandiatusungu kuidi Pheve yi Nzambi bawu bana ba Nzambi.

For, as many as by God’s Spirit are being led, the same, are God’s sons, —

15 Bila lusia tambula pheve yi kivika ko mu diambu lubanga diaka ku tsi boma, vayi beno lutambula Pheve yoyi yilukitula bana ba Nzambi. Mu Pheve beni tueti yamikinina: Aba, bu dinsundula Tata.

For ye have not received a spirit of servitude, leading back into fear, but ye have received a spirit of sonship, whereby we are exclaiming—Abba! Oh Father!

16 Niandi veka Pheve weti telama kimbangi va kimosi ayi pheve eto ti tuidi bana ba Nzambi.

The Spirit itself, beareth witness together with our spirit that we are children of God;

17 Enati tuidi bana buna tuela vinginina kiuka: mimvingidi mi Nzambi ayi mimvingidi va kimosi ayi Klisto enati tulembo moni ziphasi va kimosi ayi niandi muingi tukemboso va kimosi ayi niandi.

And, if children, heirs also—heirs, indeed, of God, but co-heirs with Christ, —if, at least, we are suffering together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

18 Mu phila ndimuena, ziphasi zi thangu yayi zisi fuanu dedokoso ko ayi nkembo wunkuiza, wowo bela kutumonisa.

For I reckon that unworthy are the sufferings of the present season to be compared with the glory about to be revealed towards us;

19 Bila bibioso bivangu bilembo vingila, mu tsatu yi ngolo, mbonokono yi bana ba Nzambi.

For, the eager outlook of creation, ardently awaiteth the revealing of the sons of God, —

20 Bila bibioso bivangu bimana tulu ku tsi kivika ki mambu ma kambulu mfunu, bika sia ti mu luzolo luawu veka vayi mu luzolo lu mutu wowo wutula biawu ku tsi kivika. Vayi diana didi

For, unto vanity, hath creation been made subject—not by choice, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope

21 bila, mananga, bibioso bivangu biela kulu mu kivika ki lulendo lu mbivusu mu diambu di mona khini mu kiphuanza ki nkembo wu bana ba Nzambi.

That, creation itself also, shall be freed—from the bondage of the decay into the freedom of the glory of the sons of God;

22 Bila tuzebi ti bibioso bivangu bilembo kungi va kimosi ayi bilembo moni ziphasi nate buabu banga ziozi zimmonanga nketo wummona mianga mi buta.

For we know that, all creation, is sighing together, and travailing-in-birth-throes together until the present, —

23 Bika sia ti biawu kaka bilembo kungi vayi ayi mamveto, beto bobo tutambula makaba matheti ma Pheve, tulembo kungi mu tsi ntima bu tulembo vingila tukituka bana, bu tulembo vingila khudulu yi zinitu zieto.

And, not only so, but, we ourselves, also, who have the first-fruit of the Spirit—[we] even ourselves, within our own selves do sigh, —sonship ardently awaiting—the redeeming of our body; —

24 Bila beto mu diana tuvukila. Enati diana dimonikini, buna disiedi diana ko. Bila diambu diodi mutu kalembo moni buna bila mbi kafueti kudisila diana e?

For, by our hope, have we been saved, —but, hope beheld, is not hope, for, what one beholdeth, why doth he hope for?

25 Vayi enati tulembo tudi diana mu diambu diodi tunkambu mona, buna tulembo kudivingidila mu mvibudulu.

If, however, what we do not behold we hope for, with endurance, are we ardently awaiting [it]; —

26 Bobuawu Pheve weti kutusadisa mu lebakana kueto. Bila tukadi zaba mambu momo tufueti lomba mu bufueni vayi niandi veka Pheve weti kutulombila mu khungulu yikambu baka bu tubila.

In the selfsame way moreover, even the Spirit, helpeth together in our weakness, —for, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not, but, the Spirit itself, maketh intercession with sighings unutterable,

27 Bosi mutu wowo wumfionguninanga mintima zebi mayindu ma Pheve bila wunlombilanga mu diambu di banlongo boso buididi luzolo lu Nzambi.

And, he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is preferred by the Spirit—that, according to God, he maketh intercession in behalf of saints;

28 Muaki tuzebi ti mambu moso mansalanga va kimosi mu diambu di mamboti ma batu bobo banzolanga Nzambi, batu bobo batelo boso buididi lukanu luandi.

We know, further, that, unto them who love God, God causeth all things to work together for good, —unto them who, according to purpose, are such as he hath called;

29 Bila batu bobo kakizabila tona thama, wukibakila lukanu lukuba dedikisa mu ba banga Muanꞌandi muingi Muanꞌandi kaba muana wutheti mu bakhomba bawombo.

For, whom he fore-approved, he also fore-appointed to be conformed unto the image of his Son, that he might be firstborn among many brethren, —

30 Bobo kakizabila tona thama wubatela, wuba kitula basonga; bobo kakitula basonga wuba kembisa.

And, whom he fore-appointed, the same, he also called, and, whom he called, the same, he also declared righteous, and, whom he declared righteous, the same, he also made glorious: —

31 Mambu mbi tulenda diaka tuba mu diambu di mambu mama e? Enati Nzambi widi ku ndambu eto, buna nani wulenda ba mbeniꞌeto e?

What, then, shall we say to a these things? If God [is] for us, who [shall be] against us?

32 Mutu wowo wukambu yimina Muanꞌandi wumosi kaka vayi wunyekula mu diambu dieto beto boso; buna buevi kalendi kutuvanina ko bima bioso va kimosi ayi muanꞌandi e?

He, at least, who his own Son did not spare, but in behalf of us all delivered him up, how shall he not also, with him, all things upon us in favour bestow?

33 Nani wulenda funda batu bobo Nzambi kasobula e? Niandi veka Nzambi wukuba kitulanga basonga.

Who shall bring an accusation against the chosen ones of God? God, who declareth righteous?

34 A buna nani wulenda bedisa e? Klisto niandi wufua, vayi wufuluka; niandi vuendi va lubakala lu Nzambi ayi wukutulombilanga.

Who is he that condemneth? Christ [Jesus] who died?—Nay! rather was raised [from among the dead], —who is on the right hand of God, who also is making intercession in our behalf?

35 Nani wulenda kutuvambisa mu luzolo lu Klisto e? Yamusu voti ziphasi, voti zinzomono; nzala, kambu ku minledi, tsisi yi lufua, voti sabala e?

Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?—

36 Banga bu disonimina: Mu diambu di luzolo mu ngeyo, beti tomba ku kutuvonda kadika lumbu; batumona banga mamemi mankuenda ku vondo.

According as it is written—For thy sake, are we being put to death all the day long, we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.—

37 Vayi mu diambu di mambu moso mama, tueti luta nunga mu diambu di mutu wowo wutuzola.

Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquering through him that hath loved us.

38 Bila bukiedika minu nzebi ti buba ti lufua voti zinga, buba ti zimbasi voti ziphevi zimbimbi, buba ti bima bi thangu yayi voti bima binkuiza ku ntuala, voti lulendo,

For I am persuaded that—neither death nor life, nor messengers nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

39 buba biobi bidi va kingiela voti biobi bidi ku tsi ntoto, voti vangu kinkaka, bilendi kutuvambisa ko mu luzolo lu Nzambi, lolo luidi mu Klisto Yesu, Pfumu eto.

Nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
