Romawa 3
1 Ahi ngye ha fifikon wa Bayahude he niwu? Naki ahi ngye hi mah yo gji?
What then [is] the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of circumcision?
2 Akwai muhimanci ba ninkon bari. Ni mumla de ana Yahudawa irji bu tre ni bawu.
Much every way: and first, indeed, that to them were entrusted the oracles 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 have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?
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.
Far be the thought: but let God be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in 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 commend God's righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak according to man.
6 Ana taba he naki na. Naki Irji ni tron gbugbu'a ni he?
Far be the thought: since how shall 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, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am I also 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.
and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.
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? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin:
10 Na ba nha, ba ndji u njanji, iriri na he na.
according as it is written, There is not a righteous [man], not even one;
11 Ba ndji wa a toh kpie, ba wa'a ni wa Irji.
there is not the [man] that understands, there is not one that 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.
All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is 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 sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps' poison [is] under their lips:
14 Inyu mba a shu ni la'ah ni ri gberjerje me.
whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;
15 Izah mba ni tsutsu gbagbla ni ka yi hle
swift their feet to shed blood;
16 Inkon mba ahi yah ni tie meme.
ruin and misery [are] in their ways,
17 Ndji biyi bana toh nkon sun u si na.
and 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 the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God.
20 Naki ni shishi ba ndji wa ba kpa chuwo ni tu ndu tron. Nitu tron, toh lah tre aye.
Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law [is] knowledge of sin.
21 Naki zizan'a nitu tron ba tsro toh njanji Irji wa itron ni annabawa basi hla.
But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to 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.
righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;
23 Naki, wawu'u mbawu ba lah tre, bana ya ka hi ni daraja Irji,
for all have sinned, and come 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 which [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 has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;
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.
for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of 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] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;
28 Nakima kikle tre a ndi ba kpa ndji chuwo, ana he nitu ndu tron na.
for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law.
29 Ko naki Irji ahi Irji Yahudawa ni kankrji? Ana Irji bi kora ngame na? i ahi bi kora ngame.
Is [God] the God of Jews only? is he not of [the] nations also? Yea, of nations also:
30 Nakima inde gbigbi ahi Irji riri, ani kpa biwa ba yo nji ni bawu chuwo nitu njani.
since indeed [it is] one God who shall justify [the] circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.
31 Ki ka tron hlega nitu njanji? Ana taba he nakima na, nakima kisi hu gon tro kena.
Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: [no, ] but we establish law.
