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 the circumcision?
2 Akwai muhimanci ba ninkon bari. Ni mumla de ana Yahudawa irji bu tre ni bawu.
Much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were entrusted with 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 certain were faithless? Will their faithlessness make the faithfulness of God useless?
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.
Let it not be! And let God become true, and every man false, according as it has been written: “That You may be declared righteous in Your words, and may overcome in Your being judged.”
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).
And if our unrighteousness establishes God’s righteousness, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (I speak after the manner of a man.)
6 Ana taba he naki na. Naki Irji ni tron gbugbu'a ni he?
Let it not be! Since 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 in my falsehood abounded more to His glory, why am I also yet 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, as we are spoken evil of, and as certain affirm us to say, “We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?” Whose judgment is righteous.
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? Not at all! For we charged before both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin,
10 Na ba nha, ba ndji u njanji, iriri na he na.
according as it has been written: “There is none righteous, not even one;
11 Ba ndji wa a toh kpie, ba wa'a ni wa Irji.
there is none who is understanding, there is none who is seeking 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 went out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even 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 opened grave; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of cobras [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
Their feet [are] swift 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 a way of peace they did not know.
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.
And we have known that as many things as the Law says, to those in the Law it speaks, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God;
20 Naki ni shishi ba ndji wa ba kpa chuwo ni tu ndu tron. Nitu tron, toh lah tre aye.
for this reason by works of law will no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.
21 Naki zizan'a nitu tron ba tsro toh njanji Irji wa itron ni annabawa basi hla.
And now apart from law the righteousness of God has been revealed, testified 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.
and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and on all those believing—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 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 declared righteous 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 set forth [as] a propitiatory covering, through faith in His blood, for the showing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the former sins in 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 showing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who [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] the boasting? It was excluded; by what 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.
therefore we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.
29 Ko naki Irji ahi Irji Yahudawa ni kankrji? Ana Irji bi kora ngame na? i ahi bi kora ngame.
[Is He] only the God of Jews, and not also of nations?
30 Nakima inde gbigbi ahi Irji riri, ani kpa biwa ba yo nji ni bawu chuwo nitu njani.
Yes, also of nations; since [there is] one God who will declare righteous circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Ki ka tron hlega nitu njanji? Ana taba he nakima na, nakima kisi hu gon tro kena.
Do we then make law useless through faith? Let it not be! Indeed, we establish law.
