Berean Standard Bible
1Pea ka ko ia, pea te tau pehē ko e hā? Te tau kei fai angahala kae tupulaki ʻae ʻofa?
1What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
2ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito. ʻE fēfē ʻetau kei moʻui ʻi he angahala ka kuo tau mate ki ai?
2Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
3ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko kitautolu kotoa pē naʻe papitaiso kia Sisu Kalaisi naʻa tau papitaiso ki heʻene pekia?
3Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4Pea ko ia, kuo tau tanu fakataha mo ia ʻi he papitaiso ki he mate: koeʻuhi ke hangē hono fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he mate ʻe he mālohi ʻoe tamai, ke pehē foki ʻetau felakaʻi ʻi he moʻui foʻou.
4We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
5He kapau kuo tau tō fakataha mo ia ʻi he tatau ʻo ʻene pekia, te tau ʻi he tatau foki ʻo ʻene toetuʻu:
5For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.
6ʻO ʻilo eni, ko hotau motuʻa tangata kuo tāmateʻi fakataha mo ia, koeʻuhi ke fakaʻauha ʻae sino ʻoe angahala, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau toe tauhi ʻae angahala.
6We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7He ko ia ʻoku mate, kuo movete ia mei he angahala.
7For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
8Ko eni, kapau ʻoku tau mate fakataha mo Kalaisi, ʻoku tau tui te tau moʻui fakataha foki mo ia:
8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
9ʻI heʻetau ʻilo kuo fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, pea ʻe ʻikai toe pekia ia; ʻe ʻikai toe puleʻi ia ʻe he mate.
9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
10He ko ʻene mate, ko e mate tuʻo taha pē koeʻuhi ko e angahala: ka ko ʻene moʻui, ko e moʻui ia ki he ʻOtua.
10The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
11Pea ke pehē foki ʻae lau ʻakimoutolu ko e mate moʻoni ki he angahala, ka ko e moʻui ki he ʻOtua ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
11So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa tuku ke pule ʻae angahala ʻi homou sino matengofua, ke mou talangofua ki ai ʻi hono ngaahi holi.
12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
13Pea ʻoua naʻa mou ʻatu homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻi he taʻemāʻoniʻoni ki he angahala: kae ʻatu ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻOtua, ʻo taau mo kinautolu kuo hao mei he mate, pea mo homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ki he ʻOtua.
13Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.
14He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai puleʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he angahala: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou moʻulaloa ki he fono, ka ki he ʻofa.
14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
15Pea fēfē ai? Te tau fai angahala, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te tau moʻulaloa ki he fono, ka ki he ʻofa? ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito.
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
16ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko ia ia te mou ʻatu ʻakimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ke talangofua ki ai, ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mou talangofua ki ai; pe ko e angahala ki he mate, pe ko e talangofua ki he māʻoniʻoni?
16Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?
17Naʻa mou nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angahala, kae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻomou talangofua mei he loto ki he anga ʻoe akonaki naʻe ʻatu kiate kimoutolu.
17But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.
18Ko ia ko e meʻa ʻi he fakatauʻatāina mei he angahala, kuo mou hoko ai ʻo talangofua ki he māʻoniʻoni.
18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
19ʻOku ou lea ʻo hangē pe ko e tangata, ko e meʻa ʻi he vaivai ʻo homou kakano: ʻo hangē naʻa mou tukuange homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he anga fakalielia, pea mo e fai angakovi ke fai kovi; ke pehē eni hoʻomou tuku atu homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angatonu ke fai māʻoniʻoni.
19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
20He koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻomou nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angahala, naʻa mou ʻataʻatā mei he māʻoniʻoni.
20For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
21Ka ko e hā ʻae fua ne mou maʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mou mā ai ni? He ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ko e mate.
21What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.
22Ka ko eni, ʻi hono fakatauʻatāina ʻakimoutolu mei he angahala, pea hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he ʻOtua, kuo ʻi ai homou fua ko e māʻoniʻoni, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ko e moʻui taʻengata.
22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.
23He ko e totongi ʻoe angahala ko e mate; ka ko e moʻui taʻengata ko e foaki ʻofa ia ʻae ʻOtua ʻia Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki.
23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
