Romawa 3
1 Ahi ngye ha fifikon wa Bayahude he niwu? Naki ahi ngye hi mah yo gji?
Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
2 Akwai muhimanci ba ninkon bari. Ni mumla de ana Yahudawa irji bu tre ni bawu.
Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
3 Inde mbru Yahudawa bana kpanyime ni njanji na fa? Wa ba na kpa njani na ani zu ndindi ndu Irji?
For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
4 Ana he naki ma na, maimako naki, Irji ka kma ti u njanji, na ndji ba wawu ba bi tiche, na ndji ba han hla don duba tsro ndi wu u ndindi ni mi tre me la wu kpaka ni toh wa banji u hi ni shishi tron.
May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.”
5 Ama inde meme bu a tsro ndindi Irji, naki ki tre ngye? ki ya tre ndi Irji hi meme nda nji nfu ma ni tu mbu? (Misi ti ni sen nyu u ndji).
But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
6 Ana taba he naki na. Naki Irji ni tron gbugbu'a ni he?
May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
7 Inde njanji u Irji ni ti gbugbu ce mu ani kara ninkon ni nyu'u, angye sa mi hai ni tron na'u lah tre?
For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
8 Angye sa kina tre, ki yba shishi, ndi tre, bari ba krie nda tre, du ta tie meme, ndi du ndindi ye? Hukunci ba a ndindima.
Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
9 Angye naki, ki no tumbu sen nyu'u? Ana he naki na don ki guchi tre Yahuda baba Hllinawa ye ndi tre ndi wawu mbawu ba he ni mi lahtre.
What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
10 Na ba nha, ba ndji u njanji, iriri na he na.
As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
11 Ba ndji wa a toh kpie, ba wa'a ni wa Irji.
There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
12 Wawu mbawu ba kankon don, wawu mbawu ba kma tibi wa bana he ni anfani na. Ba wa ani tie ndu ndindima, a'an iriri na he na.
They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
13 Gbugbran mba he ni ho na be, Ilbe mba a ban lilo, Itso wan a he ni mi lbe mba.
“Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
14 Inyu mba a shu ni la'ah ni ri gberjerje me.
“Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 Izah mba ni tsutsu gbagbla ni ka yi hle
“Their feet are swift to shed blood.
16 Inkon mba ahi yah ni tie meme.
Destruction and misery are in their ways.
17 Ndji biyi bana toh nkon sun u si na.
The way of peace, they have not known.”
18 Bana he ni klu sissri Irji ni shishi mba na.
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Naki ki toh ndi du kpie wa itron a tre, itro ani tre ni bawu wa ba he ni mi ma, don duba ka iyu mba wawu, naki gbungblu a wawu'u ka no amsa ni shishi Irji.
Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
20 Naki ni shishi ba ndji wa ba kpa chuwo ni tu ndu tron. Nitu tron, toh lah tre aye.
Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
21 Naki zizan'a nitu tron ba tsro toh njanji Irji wa itron ni annabawa basi hla.
But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
22 Naki ndindi Irji ahi njanji nimi Yesu Almasihu hi ni biwa ba kpa nyime ni njanji. Naki, kakan na he na.
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
23 Naki, wawu'u mbawu ba lah tre, bana ya ka hi ni daraja Irji,
for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
24 ni ndindima ba kpa ta chuwo ni tu kpachuwo wa'a he ni mi Yesu Almasihu.
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 Aman Irji a ban Yesu Almasihu no wa ahi hadaya u kpachuwo u njanji nimi iyi ma. A ban Almasihu na nimatsayi tabbacin hukunci ma, nitu ketarewa lah tre mbu wu kogon'a.
whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
26 Nimi vu suron ma, naki i wa yi ati ndu tsro ndindima nimi toh i du kpanyime ni tuma u hukunci, nda tsro wawu hi u kpa konha chuwo saboda, njanji wa ahe nimi Yesu.
to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
27 To, i wru wo ni san he ni ntsen? Ba chu'u rju. Nitu ngye? Nitu ndu? Aman nitu ndu? Ama nitu njanji.
Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
28 Nakima kikle tre a ndi ba kpa ndji chuwo, ana he nitu ndu tron na.
We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29 Ko naki Irji ahi Irji Yahudawa ni kankrji? Ana Irji bi kora ngame na? i ahi bi kora ngame.
Or is God the God of Jews only? Is not he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
30 Nakima inde gbigbi ahi Irji riri, ani kpa biwa ba yo nji ni bawu chuwo nitu njani.
since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
31 Ki ka tron hlega nitu njanji? Ana taba he nakima na, nakima kisi hu gon tro kena.
Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
