< Romans 8 >

1 Nítorí náà, kò sí ìdálẹ́bi nísinsin yìí fún àwọn tí ó wà nínú Kristi Jesu, àwọn tí kò rìn nípa ti ara, bí kò ṣe nípa ti Ẹ̀mí.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah Jesus.
2 Nítorí nípasẹ̀ òfin ti ẹ̀mí ìyè nínú Kristi Jesu ti sọ mí di òmìnira kúrò lọ́wọ́ òfin ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ikú.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
3 Nítorí ohun tí òfin kò lè ṣe, bí ó ti jẹ aláìlera nítorí ara, Ọlọ́run rán ọmọ òun tìkára rẹ̀ ní àwòrán ara ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ó sì di ẹ̀ṣẹ̀; àti bi ẹbọ fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ó sì dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ lẹ́bi nínú ara,
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;
4 kí a lè mú òdodo òfin ṣẹ, nínú wa, nítorí tí àwa yé gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ti ara, bí kò ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ti Ẹ̀mí.
so that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 Àwọn tí ń gbe nípa ti ara, wọn a máa ronú ohun ti ara; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ti ń gbe nípa ti Ẹ̀mí, wọn a máa ronú ohun ti Ẹ̀mí.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 Nítorí èrò ti ara ikú ni; ṣùgbọ́n èrò ti ẹ̀mí ni ìyè àti àlàáfíà.
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace;
7 Nítorí èrò ti ara ọ̀tá ni sí Ọlọ́run, nítorí kì í tẹríba fún òfin Ọlọ́run, òun kò tilẹ̀ le ṣe e.
because the mind set on the flesh is hostile towards God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.
8 Ìdí nìyìí tí àwọn tí ó wà lábẹ́ àkóso ara ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, kò le è tẹ́ Ọlọ́run lọ́rùn.
And those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹyin kò sí nínú ti ara, bí kò ṣe nínú ti Ẹ̀mí, bí ó bá ṣe pé Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run ń gbé inú yín. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnikẹ́ni kò bá ní Ẹ̀mí Kristi, òun kò sí nínú ẹni tirẹ̀.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Messiah, he does not belong to him.
10 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Kristi ń gbé inú yín síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, ara yín jẹ́ òkú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀mí mímọ́ tí ń gbé inú yín yóò fún yín ní ìyè, nítorí ó ti fún un yín ní òdodo.
And if Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
11 Àti pé, bí ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ó jí Jesu kúrò nínú òkú bá ń gbé inú yín, ẹni tí ó jí Kristi Jesu dìde kúrò nínú òkú, yóò fi ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ tí ń gbé inú yín sọ ara kíkú yín di ààyè pẹ̀lú.
But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Messiah from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
12 Nítorí náà ará a ni ojúṣe láti ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe nípa nǹkan tí ara, tí a ó fi máa gbé nípa ti ara.
So then, brothers, we have no obligation to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 Nítorí pé bí ẹ̀yin bá ń tẹ̀lé, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ti ara ẹ̀yin yóò sọnù, ẹ ó sì ṣègbé, ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá jẹ́ ń gbé nípa ti ara, ẹ̀yin yóò kú, ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yín bá ń gbé nípa ti Ẹ̀mí, ẹ ó pa iṣẹ́ ti ara run, ẹ̀yin yóò yè.
For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 Nítorí pé, iye àwọn tí Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run bá ń darí ni ọmọ Ọlọ́run.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 Nítorí ẹ̀yin kò tún gba ẹ̀mí ẹrú láti máa bẹ̀rù mọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin gba ẹ̀mí ìsọdọmọ, nípa èyí tí àwa fi ń ké pé “Ábbà, Baba.”
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba. Father."
16 Nítorí Ẹ̀mí mímọ́ ń sọ̀rọ̀ ìjìnlẹ̀ nínú ọkàn wa, ó sì ń sọ fún wa pé, nítòótọ́, àwa jẹ́ ọmọ Ọlọ́run.
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;
17 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí a jẹ́ ọmọ rẹ̀, ǹjẹ́ ajogún ni àwa, ajogún Ọlọ́run, àti àjùmọ̀jogún pẹ̀lú Kristi, bí ó bá ṣe àwa jìyà, kí a sì le ṣe wá lógo pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
and if children, then heirs; heirs of God and fellow heirs with Messiah; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, ìyà tí a ń jẹ nísinsin yìí kò jámọ́ nǹkan nígbà tí a bá fiwé ògo tí yóò fún wa ní ìkẹyìn.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed to us.
19 Nítorí ẹ̀dá ń dúró ní ìfojúsọ́nà de ìfihàn àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run.
For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
20 Nítorí a tẹrí ẹ̀dá ba fún asán, kì í ṣe bí òun ti fẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n nípa ìfẹ́ ẹni tí ó tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba ní ìrètí.
For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
21 Nítorí a ó sọ ẹ̀dá tìkára rẹ̀ di òmìnira kúrò nínú ẹrú ìdíbàjẹ́, sí òmìnira ògo àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run.
that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22 Nítorí àwa mọ̀ pé gbogbo ẹ̀dá ni ó jùmọ̀ ń kérora tí ó sì ń rọbí pọ̀ títí di ìsinsin yìí.
For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers with labor pains together until now.
23 Kì í ṣe àwọn nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n àwa tìkára wa pẹ̀lú, a ni àkóso ẹ̀mí, àní àwa tìkára wa ń kérora nínú ara wa, àwa ń dúró de ìsọdọmọ àní ìdáǹdè ara wa.
And not only this, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 Nítorí nípa ìrètí ni a fi gbà wá là, ṣùgbọ́n ìrètí tí a bá rí kì í ṣe ìrètí nítorí ta ni ń retí ohun tí ó bá rí?
For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
25 Ṣùgbọ́n bí àwa bá ń retí èyí tí àwa kò rí, ǹjẹ́ àwa ń fi sùúrù dúró dè é.
But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26 Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni ẹ̀mí pẹ̀lú sì ń ran àìlera wa lọ́wọ́: nítorí a kò mọ bí a ti ń gbàdúrà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti yẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀mí tìkára rẹ̀ ń fi ìrora tí a kò le fi ẹnu sọ bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wa.
And in the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with inexpressible groanings.
27 Ẹni tí ó sì ń wá inú ọkàn wò, ó mọ ohun ti ẹ̀mí, nítorí tí ó ń bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run.
And he who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints in accordance with God.
28 Àwa sì mọ̀ pé ohun gbogbo ni ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ pọ̀ sí rere fún àwọn tí ó fẹ́ Ọlọ́run, àní fún àwọn ẹni tí a pè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpinnu rẹ̀.
And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
29 Nítorí àwọn ẹni tí ó mọ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀, ni ó sì yàn tẹ́lẹ̀ láti rí bí àwòrán ọmọ rẹ̀, kí òun lè jẹ́ àkọ́bí láàrín àwọn arákùnrin púpọ̀.
For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 Àti pé lẹ́yìn tí òun ti pè wá wá sọ́dọ̀ ara rẹ̀, ó sọ wá di aláìjẹ̀bi lẹ́yìn èyí, ó fi rere Kristi kún inú ọkàn wa. Lékè gbogbo rẹ̀, ó fún wa ní ìdúró rere pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó sì pinu ògo rẹ̀ fún wa.
Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
31 Kí ni àwa yóò wí nísinsin yìí sí nǹkan ìyanu wọ̀nyí? Bí Ọlọ́run bá wà pẹ̀lú wa, ta ni yóò kọjú ìjà sí wa?
What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 Níwọ̀n ìgbà tí Ọlọ́run ti fi Ọmọ rẹ̀ fún wa, ǹjẹ́ ó ha tún le ṣòro fún un láti fún wa ní ohunkóhun bí?
He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
33 Ta ni ẹni náà tí ó lè dá wa lẹ́bi, àwa ẹni tí Ọlọ́run ti yàn fún ara rẹ̀. Ǹjẹ́ Ọlọ́run yóò dá wa lẹ́bi? Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Òun ni ẹni tí ó dáríjì wá, tí ó sì fi wá sípò tí ó dára lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
34 Ta ni ẹni náà tí yóò dá wa lẹ́bi? Kò sí. Kristi Jesu tí ó kú, kí a sá à kúkú wí pé tí a ti jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú, ẹni tí ó sì wà ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Ọlọ́run, tó sì ń bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wa?
Who is he who condemns? It is Messiah who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Ta ni yóò ha yà wá kúrò nínú ìfẹ́ Kristi? Ìpọ́njú ni, tàbí wàhálà tàbí inúnibíni tàbí ìyàn, tàbí ìhòhò, tàbí ewu tàbí idà?
Who will separate us from the love of Messiah? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé: “Nítorí rẹ̀ ni a ṣe ń pa wá kú ní gbogbo ọjọ́; À ń kà wá sí bí àgùntàn fún pípa.”
Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."
37 Ṣùgbọ́n nínú gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí, àwa ju ẹni tí ó ṣẹ́gun lọ nípasẹ̀ Kristi ẹni tí ó fẹ́ wa.
No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 Nítorí pé ó dá mi lójú gbangba pé, kì í ṣe ikú tàbí ìyè, kì í ṣe àwọn angẹli tàbí ẹ̀mí èṣù, kì í ṣe ohun ìgbà ìsinsin yìí tàbí ohun tí ó ń bọ̀, tàbí àwọn agbára,
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 tàbí òkè, tàbí ọ̀gbun, tàbí ohunkóhun nínú ìṣẹ̀dá ni yóò le yà wá kúrò nínú ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí ó ń bẹ nínú Kristi Jesu, Olúwa wa.
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Messiah Jesus our Lord.
