Romawa 3
1 Ahi ngye ha fifikon wa Bayahude he niwu? Naki ahi ngye hi mah yo gji?
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision?
2 Akwai muhimanci ba ninkon bari. Ni mumla de ana Yahudawa irji bu tre ni bawu.
Much every way: chiefly, because that to them were committed 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 did not believe? will their unbelief make the faith of God without 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.
By no means: verily let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou art 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).
But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man.)
6 Ana taba he naki na. Naki Irji ni tron gbugbu'a ni he?
By no means: for then 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 hath more abounded through my lie 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 [rather] (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation 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 [than they]? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 Na ba nha, ba ndji u njanji, iriri na he na.
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 Ba ndji wa a toh kpie, ba wa'a ni wa Irji.
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh 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 are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not 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 sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [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.
Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:
17 Ndji biyi bana toh nkon sun u si na.
And the way of peace have they 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 saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Naki ni shishi ba ndji wa ba kpa chuwo ni tu ndu tron. Nitu tron, toh lah tre aye.
Therefore by the deeds of the law, there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
21 Naki zizan'a nitu tron ba tsro toh njanji Irji wa itron ni annabawa basi hla.
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, 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, [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all them that 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 that is in Jesus Christ:
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 hath set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, 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.
To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth 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 [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith.
28 Nakima kikle tre a ndi ba kpa ndji chuwo, ana he nitu ndu tron na.
Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Ko naki Irji ahi Irji Yahudawa ni kankrji? Ana Irji bi kora ngame na? i ahi bi kora ngame.
[Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Nakima inde gbigbi ahi Irji riri, ani kpa biwa ba yo nji ni bawu chuwo nitu njani.
Seeing [it is] one God who will justify the 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 void the law through faith? By no means: but we establish the law.
