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?
2May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we 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 don’t you know 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 buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might 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 become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part 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 was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
7He ko ia ʻoku mate, kuo movete ia mei he angahala.
7For he 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:
8But 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.
9knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. 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.
10For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that 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.
11Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to 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.
12Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
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.
13Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to 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 will not have dominion over you, for 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? May it never be!
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?
16Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience 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, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
18Ko ia ko e meʻa ʻi he fakatauʻatāina mei he angahala, kuo mou hoko ai ʻo talangofua ki he māʻoniʻoni.
18Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of 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 speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
20He koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻomou nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angahala, naʻa mou ʻataʻatā mei he māʻoniʻoni.
20For when you were servants of sin, you were free from 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 then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end 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, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of 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 free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
