Romawa 5
1 Ni wa ki fe Barata, ki fe si ni Irji ni nkon Yesu Kristi.
Because we trusted [in Christ], the record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins}. So we [now] have a peaceful relationship with God because of our trust in what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
2 Ki fe nkon ni kpanyime mu nimi tie ndindi wa ki kri, ki ngyiri ni yo suron mbu ni Irji ni kpe wa ani tie ni tawu'a.
Because of [what] Christ [has done], God has also enabled us to begin experiencing his continually acting toward us in ways that we do not deserve. Also, we rejoice because we are confidently expecting that God [will gladly show] us how great he is.
3 Ana kima migyen na kiga mgban ngame ni ba yambu. Ki toh ndi yah ni nu vu suron.
We rejoice even when we suffer [as a result of our trusting in Christ], because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things [patiently].
4 U vu suron nino mgbemgble suron, u mgbemgblen suron ni nno yo suron,
And [we know] that when we endure things [patiently], the result is that [God] approves [of us]. And when we [know that God] approves [of us], the result is that we confidently expect [that he will do great things for us].
5 u yo suron ana nno shan na nitu waa ba ka ison Irji sru tawu ni mi suron Irji ni tsratsra Ruhu, wa ba nnota wu'a
And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly [for], because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom [he] has} given to us, [causes] us to understand how much God loves us.
6 Wa kina he bi kunyire'a ri, u Kristi ka Khwu ni bi lah tre tsra ni nton ndindi.
When we were unable [to save ourselves], it was Christ who, at the time [that God chose], died on behalf of [us] ungodly [people].
7 A he ni dii ndu ri khwu nitu ndji tsratsra, u mi ya indrjo ni ma khwu ni ndji ndindi.
Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, [even if] that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person.
8 Bachi a tsro son ma ni tawu, wa kina rhi he bi lahtre rhi'a, Kristi khwu nitu mbu.
Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
9 Zan zizan wa a ngla ta ni yi ma, ani kpata chuwo ni nfu u Irji.
The record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins} because of [what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed when he died]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved by Christ {that Christ will save us} from God’s punishing us [eternally] [MTY].
10 Kina he bi ka wo tre, ba kata kabi ni Irji nitu khwu vrenma, zizan wa ki fe katu kabi'a, ba kpata chuwo nitu vrhi ma.
Even when we were acting hostilely towards God, he enabled us to have a peaceful relationship with him as a result of his Son dying [for us]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved {Christ will be able to save us} [from God’s punishing us] [MTY] because Christ is alive [again] and because [God] has enabled us to have a peaceful relationship [with himself].
11 A na naki megyen na, ki ngyiri ni Irji nitu Bachi mbu Yesu Kristi, wa nitu ma yi ki kabi yi'a.
And that’s not all! Now we also rejoice about [the things that] God [has done for us] because of our Lord Jesus Christ [dying for us] and enabling us to have a peaceful relationship with God.
12 Ni nkon ndji riri lah tre ari ni mgbumbglu, ni nkon kima ikhwu'a ri ni nkon lahtre'a. U khwu rhi ni ndji wawu'u, don ba lahtre wawu mbawuu.
[What you can learn from what I have written so far is as follows]: All people are sinful [PRS], and that is the result of [Adam, the first] man whom [God created, sinning long ago]. Adam died [PRS] because he sinned. So, all people [who have lived since then] die, because [it is as though] all people sinned [when Adam sinned].
13 Ni nton wa bana tie sharia na, lahtre ana he ni mgbumgblu, bana ta tre tre lahtre na ninton wa sharia ana hama'a.
[People in] [MTY] the world sinned before [God gave his] laws [to Moses]. But people are not considered [by God] {[God] does not consider people} to be guilty for their sins if there is no law [stating that what they did was sinful].
14 Ikhwu a he rji ni nton u Adamu ye ri ni nton Musa, nda he nitu bi wa bana lahtre bibi u Adamu'a na, ahi kpe wa a kati u seka se'a.
But [we know] that from [the time when] Adam [lived] until [the time when] Moses [lived], all people sinned, and they died [as a consequence] [PRS, MET]. Even people who sinned differently from the way Adam [sinned, died]. [Adam’s sin] affected [all people], just like what [Christ did], the one who came later, can affect all people.
15 Kyauta na he na lahtre na, a nita he nitu lahtre ndji riri yi'a, ndji gbugbu ba khwu, naki mame, ito tie ma nitu ndji riri ngama Yesu Almasihu, he nitu ndji gbugbuu.
But [the results of God’s erasing the record of our sins as] a gift to us are not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. The result of one man, [Adam], sinning was that many/all people have died. But [it is certain], [however], that many people have abundantly experienced God’s acting kindly toward them in a way they did not deserve. [It is also certain] that they have experienced God’s erasing the record of their sins as the result of one man, Jesus Christ, acting kindly toward them/towards them in a way they did not deserve.
16 Innoa na he na lahtre ndji riri na. Itron'a hu lahtre ndji riri, nda nji hukunci, inno hu lahtre gbugbuu nda nji kpa chuwo ye.
And [there is another way in which God’s] freely [erasing the record of our sins] is not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. One person, [Adam, sinned]. As a result, God declared that all people deserve to be punished. Many people sinned. But what God did was that he erased the record of their sins without their earning it.
17 A nita he nitu lahtre ndji riri ikhwu ri, naki ma me bi wa ba kpa to tie gbugbuu ni nno vrhi ndindi ni mi wawu riri, Yesu Kristi.
All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, [Adam], did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule [with Christ] (OR, share [the glory] of Christ’s being king), [in heaven. This will happen] because of [what] one man, Jesus Christ, [did for us].
18 Nawa lahtre ndji riri nji hukunci ye nitu ndji wawuu, na kimame itie ndindi ndji riri nji wruhle ni vrhi ye ni ndji gbugbuu.
So, [because one man, Adam], disobeyed [God’s law], that resulted in all people deserving to be punished {that God punish them}. Similarly, because one man, [Jesus], acted righteously [by obeying God when he died], the result was that God is [able to erase the record of] all people’s sins and [enable them to] live eternally.
19 Na kima me, wa nitu lahtre ndji riri a ndu ndji gbugbuu kati be lahtre'a, na kima me nitu ndji riri ndji gbugbuu ba fe kpa chuwo.
It was because one person, [Adam], disobeyed [God] that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, [Jesus], obeyed [God when he died] that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that [he] will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
20 Wa sharia ye'a, a ndu lahtre babran, ni wa lahtre babran, liheri he gbugbuu ngame.
[God gave] [PRS] his laws [to Moses] [PRS] in order that [people might realize] how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
21 A tie nayi'a, nawa lahtre a mreh (mallaka) hi ni khwu, na kima me, i tie ndindi mreh suron ni vrhi nitu Yesu Almasihu Bachi mbu. (aiōnios g166)
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
