Loma 6
1What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?
1PEA ka ko ia, pea te tau pehē ko e hā? Te tau kei fai angahala kae tupulaki ʻae ʻofa?
2By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
2ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito. ʻE fēfē ʻetau kei moʻui ʻi he angahala ka kuo tau mate ki ai?
3Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
3ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko kitautolu kotoa pē naʻe papitaiso kia Sisu Kalaisi naʻa tau papitaiso ki heʻene pekia?
4We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
4Pea ko ia, kuo tau tanu fakataha mo ia ʻi he papitaiso ki he mate: koeʻuhi ke hangē hono fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he mate ʻe he mālohi ʻoe tamai, ke pehē foki ʻetau felakaʻi ʻi he moʻui foʻou.
5For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
5He kapau kuo tau tō fakataha mo ia ʻi he tatau ʻo ʻene pekia, te tau ʻi he tatau foki ʻo ʻene toetuʻu:
6We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
6ʻO ʻilo eni, ko hotau motuʻa tangata kuo tāmateʻi fakataha mo ia, koeʻuhi ke fakaʻauha ʻae sino ʻoe angahala, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau toe tauhi ʻae angahala.
7For one who has died has been set free from sin.
7He ko ia ʻoku mate, kuo movete ia mei he angahala.
8Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
8Ko eni, kapau ʻoku tau mate fakataha mo Kalaisi, ʻoku tau tui te tau moʻui fakataha foki mo ia:
9We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.
9ʻI heʻetau ʻilo kuo fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, pea ʻe ʻikai toe pekia ia; ʻe ʻikai toe puleʻi ia ʻe he mate.
10For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.
10He ko ʻene mate, ko e mate tuʻo taha pē koeʻuhi ko e angahala: ka ko ʻene moʻui, ko e moʻui ia ki he ʻOtua.
11So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
11Pea ke pehē foki ʻae lau ʻakimoutolu ko e mate moʻoni ki he angahala, ka ko e moʻui ki he ʻOtua ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.
12Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa tuku ke pule ʻae angahala ʻi homou sino matengofua, ke mou talangofua ki ai ʻi hono ngaahi holi.
13Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
13Pea ʻoua naʻa mou ʻatu homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻi he taʻemāʻoniʻoni ki he angahala: kae ʻatu ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻOtua, ʻo taau mo kinautolu kuo hao mei he mate, pea mo homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ki he ʻOtua.
14For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
14He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai puleʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he angahala: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou moʻulaloa ki he fono, ka ki he ʻofa.
15What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
15Pea fēfē ai? Te tau fai angahala, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te tau moʻulaloa ki he fono, ka ki he ʻofa? ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito.
16Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
16ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko ia ia te mou ʻatu ʻakimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ke talangofua ki ai, ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mou talangofua ki ai; pe ko e angahala ki he mate, pe ko e talangofua ki he māʻoniʻoni?
17But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,
17Naʻa mou nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angahala, kae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻomou talangofua mei he loto ki he anga ʻoe akonaki naʻe ʻatu kiate kimoutolu.
18and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.
18Ko ia ko e meʻa ʻi he fakatauʻatāina mei he angahala, kuo mou hoko ai ʻo talangofua ki he māʻoniʻoni.
19I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
19ʻOku ou lea ʻo hangē pe ko e tangata, ko e meʻa ʻi he vaivai ʻo homou kakano: ʻo hangē naʻa mou tukuange homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he anga fakalielia, pea mo e fai angakovi ke fai kovi; ke pehē eni hoʻomou tuku atu homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angatonu ke fai māʻoniʻoni.
20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
20He koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻomou nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angahala, naʻa mou ʻataʻatā mei he māʻoniʻoni.
21But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
21Ka ko e hā ʻae fua ne mou maʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mou mā ai ni? He ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ko e mate.
22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.
22Ka ko eni, ʻi hono fakatauʻatāina ʻakimoutolu mei he angahala, pea hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he ʻOtua, kuo ʻi ai homou fua ko e māʻoniʻoni, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ko e moʻui taʻengata.
23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
23He ko e totongi ʻoe angahala ko e mate; ka ko e moʻui taʻengata ko e foaki ʻofa ia ʻae ʻOtua ʻia Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki.
