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

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

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

for 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;

3 S idaas 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.

so, 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.

4 S idaas 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.

So 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;

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

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

6 L aakiinse 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. Sharciga Iyo Dembiga

and 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.

7 H addaba 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.

What, then, shall we say? the law 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:

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

`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.

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

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

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

and the command that for life, this was found by me for death;

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

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

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

so that the law, indeed, holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

13 H addaba 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. Dadka Labadiisa Dabci

That 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,

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

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

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

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

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

And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that good,

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

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

18 W aayo, 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.

for 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,

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

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

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

And 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.

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

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

22 W aayo, sharciga Ilaah ayaan kaga farxaa ninka gudaha ah.

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

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

and 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 in my members.

24 N in belaysan baan ahay. Yaa iga furan doona jidhkan dhimashada leh?

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

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

I 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.
