¹Ala eztaquiçue, anayeác, (ecen Leguea eçagutzen duteney minço natzaye) nola Legueac dominatione duen guiçonaren gainean vici den artean?

¹Are ye ignorant, brethren — for to those knowing law I speak — that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?

²Ecen emazte ezcondua, senharra vici dueno obligatua da Legueaz: baina baldin senharra hil badadi, libre da senharraren leguetic.

²for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;

³Beraz senharra vici deno adultera deithuren da, berce senhar baten emazte eguin badadi: baina senharra hil badadi legue hartaric libre da: hala non ezpaitate adultera baldin berce senhar baten emazte eguin badadi.

³so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man`s; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man`s.

⁴Bada, ene anayeác, çuec-ere Legueari hil çaizquiote Christen gorputzean: berce, hiletaric resuscitatu den baten çaretençát: Iaincoari fructifica dieçogunçat.

⁴So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another`s, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

⁵Ecen haraguian guinenean, bekatuén affectione Legueaz ciradenéc indar çuten gure membroetan, herioari fructificatzeco.

⁵for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that [are] through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;

⁶Baina orain Leguetic libre gara, hari hil içanic ceinetan hatzamanac baiquineunden: spirituzco berritassunetan cerbitza deçagunçát, eta ez letrazco çahartassunetan.

⁶and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

⁷Cer erranen dugu beraz? Leguea bekatu da? Guertha eztadila. Aitzitic bekatua eztut eçagutu vkan Legueaz baicen. Ecen eznuqueen eçagutu guthiciá baldin legueac erran ezpalu, Eztuc guthiciaturen.

⁷What, then, shall we say? the law [is] sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

⁸Baina bekatuac occasione harturic manamenduaz engendratu vkan du nitan guthicia gucia. Ecen Leguea gabe, hila da bekatua.

⁸`Thou shalt not covet;` and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness — for apart from law sin is dead.

⁹Ecen ni vici nincén Leguea gabe noizpait: baina manamendua ethorri denean, bekatua berriz vitzen hassi içan da.

⁹And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

¹⁰Eta ni hil içan naiz: eta eriden içan da vicitzetaco ordenatu ceitadan manamendua, heriotara itzultzen çaitadala.

¹⁰and the command that [is] for life, this was found by me for death;

¹¹Ecen bekatuac occasione harturic, seducitu nau manamenduaz eta harçaz hil vkan nau.

¹¹for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay [me];

¹²Bada Legueaz den becembatean hura saindu da, eta manamendua saindu eta iusto eta on.

¹²so that the law, indeed, [is] holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

¹³Beraz on den gauçá herio eguin içan çait? Guertha eztadila: aitzitic bekatuac, bekatu cela aguer ledinçát, on den gauçáz herioa engendratu vkan draut, bekatua excessiuoqui bekatore eguin ledin manamenduaz.

¹³That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

¹⁴Ecen badaquigu Leguea spiritual dela: baina ni carnal naiz, bekatuaren azpira saldua.

¹⁴for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

¹⁵Ecen eguiten dudana, etzait on: ecen eztut cer nahi baitut, hura eguiten: baina ceri gaitz baitaritzat, hura eguiten dut.

¹⁵for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

¹⁶Bada baldin cer nahi ezpaitut, hura eguiten badut, consentitzen draucat Legueari, ecen ona dela.

¹⁶And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that [it is] good,

¹⁷Bada orain guehiagoric eznaiz ni hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.

¹⁷and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

¹⁸Ecen badaquit eztela habitatzen nitan (erran nahi baita, ene haraguian) onic: ecen nahia bada nitan, baina onaren complitzea, eztut erideiten.

¹⁸for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

¹⁹Ecen nahi dudan vnguia eztut eguiten: baina nahi eztudan gaizquia eguiten dut.

¹⁹for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

²⁰Bada baldin cer nic nahi ezpaitut hura eguiten badut, eznaiz guehiagoric ni, hura eguiten dudana, baina nitan habitatzen den bekatua.

²⁰And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

²¹Erideiten dut beraz legue haur nitan, vnguia eguin nahi dudanean, ecen gaizquia datchetala niri.

²¹I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

²²Ecen atseguin hartzen dut Iaincoaren Leguean barneco guiçonaz den becembatean:

²²for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

²³Baina badacussat berce leguebat neure membroetan, ene adimenduco leguearen contra bataillatzen denic, eta ene membroetan den bekatuaren legueari gathibatzen nerauconic.

²³and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that [is] in my members.

²⁴Helas guiçon miserablea ni, norc idoquiren nau herio hunetaco gorputzetic?

²⁴A wretched man I [am]! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

²⁵Esquerrac emaiten drautzat Iaincoari Iesus Christ gure Iaunaz. Bada nic neurorrec adimenduaz cerbitzatzen dut Iaincoaren Leguea, baina haraguiaz bekatuaren leguea.

²⁵I thank God — through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.
