1Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
1 Bokk yi, yéen ñi may waxal xam ngeen luy yoon; xam ngeen kon ne, yoon am na doole ci nit diirub dundam.
2For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
2 Ci maanaa, mi ngi mel ni jigéen juy séy; yoon a ngi koy boole ak jëkkëram, ñu ànd seen giiru dund, waaye su jëkkër ji faatoo, buum gi dagg na.
3So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
3 Kon nag su jabar ji àndee ak beneen góor, te fekk jëkkër jiy dund, dees na ko àtte njaaloo. Waaye bu jëkkër ji faatoo, yoon jeexal na seen diggante; man na séy nag ak beneen góor, te loolu du njaaloo.
4Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
4 Nii laa leen ko man a misaale, samay bokk; bi Kirist deeyee, dangeen a deeyandoo ak moom, te noonu yoonu Musaa wàcc leen. Léegi nag yéena ngi ànd ak keneen, maanaam Kirist mi dekki, ngir nu amal Yàlla njariñ.
5For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
5 Keroog ba nu daan topp sunu nafsu, yoonu Musaa daan na xamb bëgg-bëgg yu bon, yiy yengal sunuy cér, ba jural nu dee.
6But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
6 Waaye léegi yoon wi wàcc na nu, ci li nu dee, ba rëcc cig buumam. Léegi nag nu ngi jaamu Yàlla, waxumaleen ci sàmm santaane rekk, ndax loolu wees na, waaye ci kàttan gu bees, gi nu Xelum Yàlla di may.
7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
7 Kon nag lu nu war a wax? Ndax bàkkaar ci yoonu Musaa la jóge? Mukk! Waaye moo ma xamal luy bàkkaar. Ndaxte su ma yoon wi waxul woon: «Bul bëgg yëfi jaambur,» kon duma xam luy xemmem.
8But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
8 Waaye bàkkaar jaare na ci ndigalu Yàlla, daldi ñëw dugg ci man, ba yengal ci man xemmem yu bare. Ndaxte ba ma xamagul woon yoonu Musaa, bàkkaar da ne woon nemm ci man.
9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
9 Te keroog bi ma xamagul lu yoon wi santaane, maa ngi doon dund dund gu neex; waaye ba ma ko déggee, bàkkaar dafa daldi fuddu ci man, te man ma daldi dee.
10And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
10 Noonu gis naa ne, ndigal loolu waroon a jëme nit ñi ci dund, daf maa jëme ci dee.
11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
11 Ndaxte bàkkaar jaar na ci li Yàlla digle, ba nax ma, rey ma.
12Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
12 Kon nag man nanoo wax ne, yoonu Musaa yoon wu sell la, te ndigalu Yàlla dafa sell, jub te baax.
13Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
13 Ndax kon lu baax moo ma tàbbal ci dee? Mukk! Bàkkaar a ko def, ngir jikkoom feeñ; dafa gis ci lu baax loolu bunt bu mu man a jaar, ba rey ma. Noonu ndigalu Yàlla tax na, bàkkaar fés, bon ba jéggi dayo.
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
14 Xam nanu ne, yoonu Musaa ngi jóge ci Yàlla, waaye man yëfi àddina laa fonk, te nekk ci dooley bàkkaar, mel nib jaam.
15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
15 Ndaxte samay jëf jaaxal na ma; li ma bëgg a def, duma ko def, waaye li ma bañ rekk, moom laay def.
16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
16 Kon nag gannaaw li may def du sama coobare, nangu naa ne yoonu Musaa baax na.
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
17 Léegi nag du man maay def lu bon loolu, waaye bàkkaar bi dëkk ci man, moo ma ciy jiiñ.
18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
18 Ndaxte xam naa ne, lu baax dëkkul ci man, maanaam ci sama bindu doom Aadama. Am naa yéeney def lu baax, waaye awma kàttanu yeggale.
19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
19 Lu baax nag lu may yéene, duma ko def, waaye lu bon lu ma bëggul, moom laay def.
20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
20 Bu fekkee nag lu ma bëggul, moom laay def, kon dootul sama coobare, waaye bàkkaar bi dëkk ci man, moo ma ci jiiñ.
21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
21 Gis naa nag lii: saa su ma bëggee def lu baax, lu bon a ngi ma taxawu.
22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
22 Ndaxte ci sama biir xol yoonu Yàlla wi neex na ma.
23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
23 Waaye gis naa jeneen doole juy yengu ci samay céri yaram, di bëre ak li sama xol bëgg; day bëre ba noot ma, def ma jaam ci dooley bàkkaar joojuy yengu ci samay cér.
24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
24 Céy maaka torox! Ana ku may musal ci sama yaram, wii may jëme ci dee?
25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
25 Maa ngi sant Yàlla; am na kuy musle, mooy Yeesu Kirist sunu Boroom. Kon nag lii laa gis ci sama bopp: ci sama xel maa ngi topp yoonu Yàlla, waaye ci sama bindu doom Aadama maa ngi topp yoonu bàkkaar.
