1Pea ka ko ia, pea te tau pehē ko e hā? Te tau kei fai angahala kae tupulaki ʻae ʻofa?
1What shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito. ʻE fēfē ʻetau kei moʻui ʻi he angahala ka kuo tau mate ki ai?
2God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?
3ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko kitautolu kotoa pē naʻe papitaiso kia Sisu Kalaisi naʻa tau papitaiso ki heʻene pekia?
3Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in 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.
4For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also 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 planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of 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.
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.
7He ko ia ʻoku mate, kuo movete ia mei he angahala.
7For he that is dead is justified from sin.
8Ko eni, kapau ʻoku tau mate fakataha mo Kalaisi, ʻoku tau tui te tau moʻui fakataha foki mo ia:
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ:
9ʻI heʻetau ʻilo kuo fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, pea ʻe ʻikai toe pekia ia; ʻe ʻikai toe puleʻi ia ʻe he mate.
9Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have 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.
10For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto 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 do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa tuku ke pule ʻae angahala ʻi homou sino matengofua, ke mou talangofua ki ai ʻi hono ngaahi holi.
12Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.
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.
13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.
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 have dominion over you; for you are not under the 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 the law, but under grace? God forbid.
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?
16Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.
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 you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.
18Ko ia ko e meʻa ʻi he fakatauʻatāina mei he angahala, kuo mou hoko ai ʻo talangofua ki he māʻoniʻoni.
18Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
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 speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity; so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.
20He koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻomou nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angahala, naʻa mou ʻataʻatā mei he māʻoniʻoni.
20For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.
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 therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them 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 being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.
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 grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
