uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

νυνὶ δὲ

But now indicates that this verse is the logical conclusion based on what Paul said in the previous two verses. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a conclusion. Alternate translation: “So it is”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

οὐκέτι ἐγὼ κατεργάζομαι

no_longer I /am/_producing

Paul uses the word myself to emphasize the contrast between himself and the sin that causes him to do what he does not want to do. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “it is no longer I who produces”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτὸ

it

The pronoun it here refers to doing the sinful acts that he does not want to do, as mentioned in the previous two verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “those sinful deeds that I do not want to do”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἡ ἐνοικοῦσα ἐν ἐμοὶ ἁμαρτία

the dwelling_in in me sin

Here Paul speaks of sin as if it were a person who could live inside of a person. Paul means that his desire to sin causes him to do what he does not want to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my desire to sin deeply influences me”
