Louma 3
1 Amaiba: le, Yu fi dunu ilia hou da Dienadaile fi dunu ilia hou baligisala: ? Gadofo damusu hou da Yu dunu ilia hou fidisala: ?
What is the advantage, then, of being a Jew? Or what is the good of circumcision?
2 Dafawane! Amo da Yu dunu ilia hou bagade fidisa. Gode da hidadea ea Sia: Ida: iwane Gala eno dunuma olelemusa: , Yu dunu fi ilima hidadea i.
Great in every way. First of all, because the Jews were entrusted with God’s utterances.
3 Be Yu fi dunu mogili ilia Gode Ea Sia: noga: le hame ouligibiba: le, Gode amola da Ea hou noga: le hame ouligi mae dawa: ma!
What follows then? Some, no doubt, showed a want of faith; but will their want of faith make God break faith? Heaven forbid!
4 Hame mabu! Dunu huluanedafa da ogogole sia: sea, Gode da hamedafa ogogomu. Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Dia lafidili sia: sea, moloidafa hou fawane ba: mu! Ilia Dima fofada: sea, Di fawane da hasalimu!”
God must prove true, though everyone prove a liar! As scripture says of God – ‘That you may be pronounced righteous in what you say, and gain your cause when people would judge you.’
5 Be ninia da wadela: le hamobeba: le, Gode da hadigi fawane hamosa, amo da bu baligiliwane ba: mu. Amaiba: le, Gode da ninima se dabe iasu iahabeba: le, e da wadela: le hamosa ninia sia: ma: bela: ? (Amo da osobo bagade dunu ea hou defele, na udigili adole ba: sa.)
But what if our wrongdoing makes God’s righteousness all the clearer? Will God be wrong in inflicting punishment? (I can but speak as a person.) Heaven forbid!
6 Hame mabu! Gode Ea hou da hadigi amola moloidafa. Amola E da osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane ilima fofada: musa: defele esala.
Otherwise how can God judge the world?
7 Be na wadela: i hou amola Gode Ea hadigi hou, dunu ilia amo gilisili ba: sea, Gode Ea hou da baligili moloidafa ba: mu. Amaiba: le, na da Gode Ea hou eno dunuga ba: ma: ne fidibiba: le, na da abuliba: le wadela: i hamosu dunu ea dabe lama: bela: ?
But, if my falsehood redounds to the glory of God, by making his truthfulness more apparent, why am I like others, still condemned as a sinner?
8 Dunu eno mogili da nama lasogole, Bolo da amane sia: i, ilia da sia: sa, amane, “Hou moloidafa da doaga: ma: ne, wadela: i hou hamomu da defea!” ilia sia: sa. Be amo sia: da ogogosa. Amo adole iasu dunu ilia da se dabe iasu lama: ne, fofada: mu.
Why should we not say – as some people slanderously assert that we do say – ‘Let us do evil that good may come’? The condemnation of such people is indeed just!
9 Amaiba: le! Dilia adi dawa: bala: ? Nini Yu dunu ninia hou, da Dienadaile dunu ilia hou baligibala: ? Hame mabu! Na musa: olelei dagoi amane, Yu dunu amola Dienadaile dunu, huluane defele ilia da wadela: i se iasu gasa bagade hou amoga banenesi dagoi.
What follows, then? Are we Jews in any way superior to others? Not at all. Our indictment against both Jews and Greeks was that all alike were in subjection to sin.
10 Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Dunu afae da hou moloidafa hame dawa:
As scripture says – ‘There is not even one who is righteous,
11 Dunu huluane da bagade dawa: su hou hame dawa: Ilia da Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou hame dawa:
not one who understands, not one who is searching for God!
12 Ilia huluane da Gode Ea hou yolesi dagoi. Ilia huluane da wadela: i hou hamosu. Dunu afae da hou moloidafa hamedafa hamosa.
They have all gone astray; they have one and all become depraved; there is no one who is doing good – no, not one!’
13 Ilia da dunu eno bogoma: ne, ogogole sia: nana. Ilia lafidili ogogosu sia: bagade sia: daha. Ougiwane, medoma: ne sia: beba: le, ilia lafi da medosu sania defo hano agoane nabai gala.
‘Their throats are like opened graves; they deceive with their tongues.’ ‘The venom of snakes lies behind their lips,’
14 Ilia da lasogole bagade sia: sa.
‘And their mouths are full of bitter curses.’
15 Ilia da hedolowane se ima: ne gegene, dunu eno medole legesa.
‘Swift are their feet to shed blood.
16 Ilia habidili ahoasea, gugunufinisisu fawane ba: sa.
Distress and trouble dog their steps,
17 Ilia da olofosu hou hamedafa dawa:
and the path of peace they do not know.’
18 Ilia da Godema nodone beda: su hou hamedafa dawa:”
‘The fear of God is not before their eyes.’
19 Dunu huluane ilia Sema nabawane hamomusa: sia: i, amo dunuma Sema da hou huluane olelesa, amo ninia dawa: Be Sema da osobo bagade dunu huluane dafawane wadela: i hou hamoi amo olelema: ne, Sema da dedei dagoi.
Now we know that everything said in the Law is addressed to those who are under its authority, in order that every mouth may be closed, and to bring the whole world under God’s judgment.
20 Osobo bagade dunu da Sema huluane nabawane hamoi dagoiba: le, Gode Ea siga ba: ma: ne afadenene moloidafa hamoi, da hamedeidafa. Be dunu huluanedafa ilia da wadela: i hou hamoi dagoi dawa: ma: ne, Sema da dedei diala.
For no human being will be pronounced righteous before God as the result of obedience to Law; for it is Law that shows what sin is.
21 Be wali ninia Gode Ea hou amoga E da dunu E bu noga: i ba: ma: ne afadenesa, amo hou ba: sa. Amo hou da Sema amoga hame hamosa. Be musa: Mousese ea Sema sia: dedei amola balofede (Gode Sia: alofesu dunu) dunu ilia sia: dedei, da amo hobea misunu liligi olelesu.
But now, quite apart from Law, the divine righteousness stands revealed, and to it the Law and the prophets bear witness –
22 Osobo bagade dunu da Yesu Gelesu Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, lalegagubiba: le fawane, Gode da ilia hou bu moloidafa ba: sa. Gode da Yesu Gelesu dafawaneyale dawa: su dunu, ilima amo hou hamosa.
the divine righteousness which is bestowed, through faith in Jesus Christ, on all, without distinction, who believe in him.
23 Bai hou hisu hisu da hame gala. Dunu huluanedafa defele ilia da wadela: i hamosu dunu. Ilia da huluane defele Gode Ea Hou giadofale hamoi dagoi.
For all have sinned, and all fall short of God’s glorious ideal,
24 Be Gode da ninima hahawane dogolegele iabeba: le, Yesu Gelesu Ea hou hamoiba: le, dunu huluane Godema moloidafa ba: ma: ne da defele esala. Yesu Gelesu da ili halegale masa: ne, ili se iasu diasu logo doasi dagoi.
but, in his loving kindness, are being freely pronounced righteous through the deliverance found in Christ Jesus.
For God set him before the world, to be, by the shedding of his blood, a means of reconciliation through faith. And this God did to prove his righteousness, and because, in his forbearance, he had passed over the sins that people had previously committed;
26 Gode da Yesu Gelesu gobele salasu agoane ninima i. E da bogoiba: le, nowa da Yesu Gelesu Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: sea da ilia wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofoi dagoi ba: sa. Gode da ea moloidafa hou olelema: ne, amo hou hamoi. Gode da amo hou hamobeba: le, amo e da moloidafa fofada: su dunu amola e da dunu huluane ilia Yesu Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le amo E da ili moloidafa hamoi ba: sa, amo olelesa.
as a proof, I repeat, at the present time, of his own righteousness, that he might be righteous in our eyes, and might pronounce righteous the person who takes their stand on faith in Jesus.
27 Amaiba: le, ninia abuliba: le gasa fili hidale hamoma: bela: ? Gasa fi hou hamomusa: bai da hamedafa gala. Bai ninia Sema nabawane hamobeba: le hame, be ninia Yesu Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le fawane, Gode da nini moloidafa hamoi ba: sa.
What, then, becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what sort of Law? A Law requiring obedience? No, a Law requiring faith.
28 Ninia dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le fawane, Gode da nini moloidafa hamoi ba: sa. Sema nabawane hamoiba: le hame.
For we conclude that a person is pronounced righteous on the ground of faith, quite apart from obedience to Law.
29 Dilia adi dawa: bela: ? Gode da Yu dunuma fawane Gode esalabala? Hame mabu! E da Dienadaile dunu amola ilima Gode esala!
Or can it be that God is the God only of the Jews? Isn’t he also the God of the Gentiles?
30 Gode da afadafa fawane. Yu dunu ilia dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le amola Dienadaile dunu ilia amo defele dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, amo huluane E da afadenene, moloidafa ba: ma: ne hamosa.
Yes, of the Gentiles also, since there is only one God, and he will pronounce those who are circumcised righteous as the result of faith, and also those who are uncircumcised on their showing the same faith.
31 Amaiba: le, Yesuma dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da doaga: beba: le, ninia Sema yolesimu da defeala: ? Hame mabu! Ninia Sema bu baligiliwane dawa: mu da defea.
Do we, then, use this faith to abolish Law? Heaven forbid! No, we establish Law.
