Leta lo Rome 7:1-25
7 Olketa brata bilong mi, mi story kam long iufala wea savve finis long law. Waswe, iufala no savve man hem stap anda long Law taem hem laef?
2 Tingim wanfala example long diswan. Woman wea marit hem stap anda long law bilong hasband bilong hem taem hasband bilong hem laef. Bat hem free from datfala law sapos hasband bilong hem dae.
3 Sapos woman hia maritim nara man taem hasband bilong hem laef nomoa, datwan hem adultery. Bat sapos hasband bilong hem dae, hem free from law bilong hem. Hem no duim adultery sapos hem maritim narafala man.
4 So olketa brata bilong mi, long firstaem hem olsem iufala marit long datfala Law, bat from sakrifaes* bilong Christ datwan hem finis. Diswan hem for iufala stap anda long Christ wea hem laef bak finis, mekem iumi savve duim olketa samting wea God hapi long hem.
5 Long bifor, iumi duim nomoa samting wea body laekem. Law showimaot klia samting iumi duim hem sin, and samting wea kamaot from datwan hem dae.
6 Bat distaem iumi free from Law bikos hem no garem paoa ovarem iumi nao. So iumi slave, no from Law leadim iumi, bat iumi slave bikos spirit hem leadim iumi.
7 So wanem nao bae iumi talem? Waswe, Law hem no stret?* Hem stret nomoa ia! Sapos Law hem no stap, mi bae no savve wanem nao sin. Example nao, Law hem sei: “Iu mas no kavet.” Sapos hem no talem datwan bae mi no savve hem rong for kavet.
8 Sin iusim law for switim mi for kavetem enikaen samting. Taem no eni law stap, sin no garem paoa.
9 Taem mi no followim Law, mi laef. Bat taem Law hem kam, sin hem laef moa, and mi dae nao.
10 Mi luksavve datfala Law wea savve mekem man kasem laef, hem leadim mi go for dae nomoa.
11 Sin hem iusim law for switim mi and killim mi dae.
12 So Law bilong Moses hem holy, and samting wea hem talem hem holy and raeteous and gud.
13 So hao, gudfala samting* mekem mi for dae? Barava nomoa nao! Sin nao hem duim datwan. From gudfala samting nao, sin hem killim mi dae. Diswan hem for showimaot wanem nao sin. Datfala Law hem showimaot klia sin hem barava nogud tumas.
14 Iumi savve God nao givim datfala Law. Bat mi man nomoa ia wea mi slave bilong sin.*
15 Samting wea mi duim bat mi no minim tu. Samting wea mi laek for duim, mi no duim nomoa. Bat samting wea mi barava les long hem, hem nao wanem mi duim.
16 Sapos mi duim nao samting wea mi no laek for duim, datwan showimaot mi bilivim Law hem gud samting.
17 So hem no mi nao wea duim olketa samting hia. Sin insaed long mi nao hem duim datwan.
18 Mi savve no eni gud samting hem stap insaed long mi.* Mi laek for duim gudfala samting bat mi no savve duim datwan.
19 Gudfala samting wea mi laek for duim, mi no duim. Bat nogud samting wea mi no laek for duim, hem nao mi savve duim.
20 So sapos mi duim samting wea mi no laek for duim, hem no mi nao wea duim datwan. Sin wea stap insaed long mi nao hem duim datwan.
21 Wanem mi faendem nao hem olsem: taem mi laek duim samting wea stret, tingting for duim samting wea nogud tu hem stap.
22 Mi barava lovem law bilong God long heart bilong mi,
23 bat mi luksavve nara law wea stap long body bilong mi hem againstim law wea stap long mind bilong mi. Nara law hia hem law bilong sin wea stap long body bilong mi and hem bossim mi.
24 Mi ia, mi iusles man nomoa! Hu nao bae sevem mi from disfala body wea bae mekem mi dae nomoa?
25 Mi thankiu long God wea hem sevem mi bikos long samting wea Lord bilong iumi Christ Jesus hem duim! So mind bilong mi hem slave long law bilong God, bat body bilong mi hem slave long law bilong sin.
