Romawa 5
1 Ni wa ki fe Barata, ki fe si ni Irji ni nkon Yesu Kristi.
Standing then acquitted as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
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.
through whom also, as the result of faith, we have obtained an introduction into that state of favour with God in which we stand, and we exult in hope of some day sharing in God's glory.
3 Ana kima migyen na kiga mgban ngame ni ba yambu. Ki toh ndi yah ni nu vu suron.
And not only so: we also exult in our sufferings, knowing as we do, that suffering produces fortitude;
4 U vu suron nino mgbemgble suron, u mgbemgblen suron ni nno yo suron,
fortitude, ripeness of character; and ripeness of character, hope;
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 that this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 Wa kina he bi kunyire'a ri, u Kristi ka Khwu ni bi lah tre tsra ni nton ndindi.
For already, while we were still helpless, Christ at the right moment died for the ungodly.
7 A he ni dii ndu ri khwu nitu ndji tsratsra, u mi ya indrjo ni ma khwu ni ndji ndindi.
Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.
8 Bachi a tsro son ma ni tawu, wa kina rhi he bi lahtre rhi'a, Kristi khwu nitu mbu.
But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.
9 Zan zizan wa a ngla ta ni yi ma, ani kpata chuwo ni nfu u Irji.
If therefore we have now been pronounced free from guilt through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's anger through Him.
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.
For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through Christ's life.
11 A na naki megyen na, ki ngyiri ni Irji nitu Bachi mbu Yesu Kristi, wa nitu ma yi ki kabi yi'a.
And not only so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that reconciliation.
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 follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn, in that all 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.
For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it is not entered in the account against us when no Law exists.
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.
Yet Death reigned as king from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned, as Adam did, against Law. And in Adam we have a type of Him whose coming was still future.
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 God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression. For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace which found expression in the one man Jesus Christ, have been bestowed on the mass of mankind.
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 it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.
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.
For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, Jesus Christ.
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.
It follows then that just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation which extends to the whole race, so also the result of a single decree of righteousness is a life-giving acquittal which extends to the whole race.
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.
For as through the disobedience of the one individual the mass of mankind were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the mass of mankind will be constituted righteous.
20 Wa sharia ye'a, a ndu lahtre babran, ni wa lahtre babran, liheri he gbugbuu ngame.
Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed;
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)
in order that as sin has exercised kingly sway in inflicting death, so grace, too, may exercise kingly sway in bestowing a righteousness which results in the Life of the Ages through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
