Erromatarrei 3
1 Ceric da bada Iuduaren abantailla, edo ceric da circoncisionearen probetchua?
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?
2 Handia manera orotara: eta gucién gainetic ceren Iaincoaren declarationeac cargutan eman baitzaizte.
Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.
3 Ecen cer da baldin batzuc sinhetsi ezpadute? ala hayén incredulitateac Iaincoaren fedea ezdeusturen du?
For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?
4 Guertha eztadila: aitzitic biz Iaincoa eguiati, eta guiçon gucia gueçurti, scribatua den beçala, Eure hitzetan iusto eriden adinçát, eta hiçaz iugemendu eguiten denean garaita duançát.
God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.
5 Eta baldin gure iniustitiác Iaincoaren iustitiá lauda eraciten badu, cer erranen dugu? ala iniusto da Iaincoa punitzen duenean? (guiçon beçala minço naiz)
But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)
6 Guertha eztadila: bercela, nola iugeaturen du Iaincoac mundua?
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 Ecen baldin Iaincoaren eguiá abundosago bada ene gueçurraz haren gloriatan, cergatic ni goitiric bekatore beçala condemnatzen naiz?
But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
8 Eta (guçaz gaizqui minço diraden beçala, eta batzuc guc erraiten dugula dioiten beçala) ceren eztugu gaizqui eguiten, vnguia ethor dadinçát? ceinén damnationea iusto baita.
and why not (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.
9 Cer bada? excellentago gara? Eceinere maneraz: ecen aitzinetic raçoinac emanic eracutsi dugu, ecen guiciac hambat Iuduac nola Grecoac, bekatuaren azpian diradela.
What then? are we in worse case than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;
10 Scribatua den beçala, Ezta iustoric, ezeta bakoitzic.
as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 Ezta aditzen duenic ezta Iaincoa bilhatzen duenic.
There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;
12 Guciac aldaratu içan dirade, eta guciac elkarrequin inutil eguin içan dirade: ezta ontassunic eguiten duenic, ez batetarano.
They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one:
13 Sepulchre irequibat da hayén eztarria: bere mihiéz enganiotara vsatu vkan duté: sugue aspic-aren poçoina da hayén ezpainetan.
Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Hayén ahoa maledictionez eta karminduraz bethea da.
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Arin dirade hayén oinac odol issurtera.
Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destructione eta miseria hayén bidetan.
Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 Eta bide baquezcoa eztute eçagutu vkan.
And the way of peace have they not known:
18 Ezta Iaincoaren beldurra hayen beguién aitzinean.
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Eta badaquigu ecen cerere Legueac erraiten baitu, Leguean diradeney erraiten drauela: aho gucia boça dadinçát, eta mundu gucia hoguendun dençát Iaincoaren aitzinean.
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:
20 Hunegatic Leguearen obréz ezta iustificaturen haraguiric batre haren aitzinean: ecen Legueaz da bekatuaren eçagutzea.
because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for through the law [cometh] the knowledge of sin.
21 Baina orain Leguea gabe Iaincoaren iustitiá manifestatu içan da, Leguearen eta Prophetén testimoniagea duela.
But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Bada Iaincoaren iustitiá, Iesus Christen fedez sinhesten duten gucietara eta gucién gainera: ecen ezta differentiaric batre:
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;
23 ikussiric ecen guciéc bekatu eguin dutela, eta Iaincoaren gloriaren falta diradela.
for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
24 Eta iustificatzen dirade dohainic haren gratiaz, Iesus Christ Iaunean eguin içan den redemptioneaz:
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Cein ordenatu baitu Iaincoac fedeazco appacegagarri haren odolean, bere iustitiaren declaratzeco, aitzineco bekatuén barkamenduagatic, Iaincoaren patientiáz:
whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, by his blood, to shew his righteousness, because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;
26 Diot bere iustitiaren declaratzeco dembora hunetan: bera iusto dencát, eta Iesusen fedeco denaren iustificaçale.
for the shewing, [I say], of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.
27 Non da beraz vantationea? iraitzi içan da. Cein leguez? obrenaz? Ez: baina fedearen legueaz.
Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.
28 Concluditzen dugu beraz, fedez iustificatzen dela guiçona Leguearen obrác gabe.
We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29 Ala Iuduén ber da Iaincoa? ala ez Gentilen-ere? guerthuqui Gentilen-ere.
Or is God [the God] of Jews only? is he not [the God] of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also:
30 Ecen bat da Iaincoa, ceinec iustificaturen baitu circoncisionea fedetic, eta preputioa fedeaz.
if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.
31 Leguea bada ez deus bilhatzen dugu fedeaz? Guertha eztadila: aitzitic Leguea confirmatzen dugu.
Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.
