1Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
1A OLE anei i ike oukou, e na hoahanau, (no ka mea, ke olelo aku nei au i ka poe i ike i ke kanawai,) e kau ana ke kanawai maluna o ke kanaka i kona wa a pau e ola nei?
2For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
2No ka mea, o ka wahine mea kane, ua paa ia i kana kane ma ke kanawai, i kona wa a pau e ola ana kana kane; a make ke kane, ua kuuia oia mai ke kanawai aku o kana kane.
3So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
3No ia hoi, e kapaia oia he wahine moe kolohe ke mare ia i ke kane hou i ka wa e ola ana kana kane; aka, ina i make ke kane, ua kuuia oia mai ke kanawai aku; aole ia he wahine moe kolohe ke mare ia i ke kane e.
4Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
4Pela hoi oukou, e na hoahanau o'u, ua make oukou i ke kanawai, ma ke kino o Kristo, i mareia'i oukou i ka mea i hoala hou ia mai waena mai o ka poe make, i hoohua kakou i ka hua no ke Akua.
5For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.
5No ka mea, i ka wa i noho ai kakou ma ke kino, o ko kakou mau kuko hewa no ke kanawai, ua hooikaika maloko o ko kakou mau lala e hoohua mai i ka hua no ka make.
6But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
6Ano hoi ua kuuia kakou mai ke kanawai, ka mea i paa pio ai kakou, no ka mea, ua make kakou ia mea; i hookauwa hoi kakou me ka hou ana o ka uhane, aole ma ka mea kahiko o ke kanawai.
7What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
7Heaha hoi ka kakou e olelo nei? He hewa anei ke kanawai? Aole loa; aka, ma ke kanawai wale no i ike ai au i ka hewa; no ka mea, ina aole i papa mai ke kanawai, Mai kuko wale aku oe, ina aole au i ike i ke kuko ana.
8But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
8Aka, ma ke kauoha i loaa'i i ka hewa ka wa maopopo, hoala ae la ia i kela kuko wale i keia kuko wale iloko o'u. No ka mea, me ke kanawai ole, ua make ka hewa.
9Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
9No ia hoi, ola no au mamua me ke kanawai ole, a hiki mai ke kauoha, ala ae la ka hewa, a make iho la au.
10So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
10Oia, o ke kauoha e ola'i, ua loaa ia'u he mea ia e make ai.
11For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
11No ka mea, loaa ae la i ka hewa ka wa maopopo ma ke kauoha, ua puni au ia ia a ua make au ia ia ma ia mea.
12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
12Nolaila, ua hemolele ke kanawai, a ua hemolele hoi, ua pono, ua maikai ke kauoha.
13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
13Ua lilo anei ka mea maikai i make no'u? Aole loa ia; aka, o ka hewa, i ikeia hoi ia ho hewa io, e hana ana i ka make iloko o'u ma ka mea maikai, i akaka ae la ma ke kauoha he mea lawehala loa ka hewa.
14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
14No ka mea, ua ike no au ma ko ka uhane ke kanawai; aka, ma ko ke kino wau, ua kuaiia na ka hewa.
15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.
15No ka mea, o ka mea a'u i hana'i, aole au e hoapono; no ka mea, aole ka mea a'u i makemake ai ka'u i hana'i, aka, hana no wau i ka mea a'u i hoowahawaha ai.
16And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
16Ina hoi e hana wau i ka mea a'u i makemake ole ai, ua ae aku au i ke kanawai, he pono.
17In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
17Ano hoi aole na'u ia i hana, aka, na ka hewa e noho ana iloko o'u.
18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
18No ka mea, ua ike au, aole e noho ana iloko o'u, oia hoi iloko o ko'u kino, kekahi mea maikai; no ka mea, o ka makemake eia no ia'u ia, aka, o ka hana i ka pono aole i loaa ia'u.
19For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.
19No ka mea, aole au i hana i ka pono a'u i makemake ai; aka o ka hewa a'u i hoowahawaha ai, oia ka'u i hana'i.
20And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
20A ina i hana au i ka mea a'u i makemake ole ai, aole na'u ia i hana, aka, na ka hewa no e noho ana iloko o'u.
21So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
21Ua loaa hoi ia'u he kanawai no'u, i ko'u wa e makemake ai e hana pono, ua kokoke mai no ka hewa.
22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
22No ka mea, ua oluolu no wau i ke kanawai o ke Akua, ma ke kanaka oloko;
23But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.
23Aka, ua ike au i kekahi kanawai iloko o ko'u mau lala e hakaka ana me ke kanawai o ko'u manao, a e hoolilo ana ia'u i pio no ke kanawai o ka hewa iloko o ko'u mau lala.
24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
24Auwe hoi au ke kanaka poino! nawai au e hoopakele ae i ke kino nona keia make.
25Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
25Ke aloha aku nei au i ke Akua ma o Iesu Kristo la o ko kakou Haku. No ia hoi, owau nei la, ua malama wau i ke kanawai o ke Akua, aka ma ko'u kino i ke kanawai o ka hewa.
