¹Mise ma waydaan ogayn, walaalayaalow, in sharcigu nin u taliyo intuu nool yahay oo keliya? (Waxaan la hadlayaa dadka sharciga yaqaan.)

¹Or don’t you know, brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?

²Naagtii nin luhu sharcigay ugu xidhan tahay ninkeeda intuu nool yahay, laakiinse mar haddii ninku dhinto, way ka furan tahay sharcigii ninka.

²For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

³Sidaas daraaddeed inta ninkeedu nool yahay, hadday nin kale naag u noqoto, waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa dhillo, laakiinse ninkeedu hadduu dhinto, sharciga way ka furan tahay, oo sidaas daraaddeed dhillo ma aha in kastoo ay nin kale naag u noqoto.

³So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

⁴Sidaas daraaddeed, walaalahayow, jidhkii Masiixa baa meyd idinka dhigay xagga sharciga, in mid kale idin lahaado, oo ah kii kuwii dhintay laga sara kiciyey inaynu Ilaah midho u soo bixinno.

⁴Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

⁵Waayo, markii aynu jidhka ku dhex jirnay, damacyadii dembiyada ee sharciga ka yimid waxay ka dhex shaqaynayeen xubnaheenna inay midho u soo bixiyaan dhimasho.

⁵For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

⁶Laakiinse haatan sharcigii waa laynaga furay, innagoo ka dhimannay wixii aynu ku hoos xidhnayn, si aynu ugu adeegno cusaybka ruuxa ee aynaan ugu adeegin gabowga qorniinka.

⁶But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

⁷Haddaba maxaynu nidhaahnaa? Sharcigu ma dembi baa? Ma suurtowdo! Hase ahaatee, dembi ma aanan garteen, sharcigaan ku gartay mooyaane, damaca xun ma aanan garteen haddaan sharcigu i odhan, Waa inaadan wax damcin.

⁷What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting, unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21

⁸Dembigu, isagoo wakhti helay, ayuu amarka dhexdayda kaga falay damac xun oo kasta; waayo, sharciga la'aantiis dembigu waa meyd.

⁸But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

⁹Waa baan noolaa sharciga la'aantiis, laakiin markii amarku yimid, dembigu waa soo noolaaday, aniguna waan dhintay.

⁹I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

¹⁰Amarkii nolosha ii geeyn lahaa, waxaan gartay inuu dhimasho ii geeynayo.

¹⁰The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;

¹¹Waayo, dembigu, isagoo wakhti helay, ayuu amarka igu khiyaaneeyey, wuuna igu dilay.

¹¹for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

¹²Haddabase sharcigu waa quduus, amarkuna waa quduus, waana xaq, wuuna wanaagsan yahay.

¹²Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

¹³Haddaba wixii wanaagsanaa miyey dhimasho ii noqdeen? Ma suurtowdo! Laakiin dembigu, inuu muuqdo inuu dembi yahay, ayuu wax wanaagsan igaga dhex shaqeeyey oo dhimasho ii keenay, in dembigu amarka ku noqdo dembi miidhan.

¹³Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

¹⁴Waayo, waxaynu og nahay in sharcigu ku saabsan yahay ruuxa, laakiinse anigu waxaan ahay mid jidhka raaca oo lagu iibiyey dembiga hoostiisa.

¹⁴For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

¹⁵Waayo, waxaan samaynayo garan maayo, maxaa yeelay, ma sameeyo wixii aan doonayo, laakiin waxaan sameeyaa wixii aan necbahay.

¹⁵For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

¹⁶Laakiin haddaan sameeyo waxa aanan doonayn, de markaas waxaan gartay in sharcigu wanaagsan yahay.

¹⁶But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

¹⁷Haddabase haatan ma aha aniga kan waxaas sameeyaa, laakiinse waa dembiga igu dhex jira.

¹⁷So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

¹⁸Waayo, waan ogahay inaan wax wanaagsanu igu dhex jirin, taas waxaan ula jeedaa, jidhkayga wax wanaagsanu kuma jiraan, waayo, waan ku talo jiraa inaan waxa wanaagsan sameeyo, laakiin ma sameeyo.

¹⁸For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.

¹⁹Waayo, waxa wanaagsan oo aan doonayo inaan falo, ma sameeyo, laakiinse waxa sharka ah oo aanan doonayn inaan falo, ayaan sameeyaa.

¹⁹For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.

²⁰Laakiin haddaan sameeyo wixii aanan doonayn inaan falo, de haatan ma aha aniga kan sameeyaa, laakiinse waa dembiga igu dhex jira.

²⁰But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

²¹Haddee waxaan arkaa qaynuunka in shar ila jiro in kastoo aan doonayo inaan waxa wanaagsan sameeyo.

²¹I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

²²Waayo, sharciga Ilaah ayaan kaga farxaa ninka gudaha ah.

²²For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

²³Laakiin waxaan xubnahayga ka arkaa qaynuun kale, isagoo la dagaallamaya qaynuunka maankayga oo maxbuus iiga dhigaya qaynuunka dembiga oo xubnahayga ku jira.

²³but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

²⁴Nin belaysan baan ahay. Yaa iga furan doona jidhkan dhimashada leh?Waxaan Ilaah ugu mahad naqayaa inuu Rabbigeen Ciise Masiix igu furan doono. Sidaas daraaddeed aniga qudhaydu waxaan maankayga ugu adeegaa sharciga Ilaah; laakiinse waxaan jidhka ugu adeegaa qaynuunka dembiga.

²⁴What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

²⁵Waxaan Ilaah ugu mahad naqayaa inuu Rabbigeen Ciise Masiix igu furan doono. Sidaas daraaddeed aniga qudhaydu waxaan maankayga ugu adeegaa sharciga Ilaah; laakiinse waxaan jidhka ugu adeegaa qaynuunka dembiga.

²⁵I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, the sin’s law.
