Ŵaloma 3
1 Ana Myahudi akwete chichi cha kwapunda ŵandu ŵane? Pane kuumbala kukumpokasya ichichi?
Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
2 Elo, kwana upoche wekulungwa mose mose. Kundanda, Akunnungu ŵapele Ŵayahudi Liloŵe lyao kuti alikamule.
Much in every way. Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
3 Nambo chiiŵe uli iŵaga ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo nganakulupilila? Ana ungakulupilila wao chiuchityose chikulupichiko cha Akunnungu?
For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
4 Ngaŵa! Akunnungu aŵe jwausyene namuno kila mundu aŵele jwaunami. Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Kila pankuŵelecheta maloŵe genu gaŵalanjikwe kuti gali ga usyene ni pachachimmechetela nchipunde.”
Absolutely not. Let God be found true, but every human being a liar. As it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you judge."
5 Nambo iŵaga chigongomalo chetu chikulosya kuti Akunnungu akupanganya yambone, ana tujileje uli? Uli, tutujile Akunnungu ali ŵa chigongomalo pakutujamuka? Pelepa nguŵecheta ni ng'anisyo sya chiundu.
But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? (I am speaking in human terms).
6 Ngaŵa! Ikaliji yeleyo, Akunnungu akakombwele chinauli kwalamula ŵandu ŵa pachilambo?
Absolutely not. For then how will God judge the world?
7 Nambo, iŵaga unami wangu chiukamusye kuulosya kwannope usyene wa Akunnungu ni konjechesya ukulu wakwe, ana kwa chichi noneji ngulamulikwa kuti jwa sambi?
For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
8 Iŵaga yeleyo, tusaleje, “Tutende yangalumbana kuti iiche yambone?” Kusyene kwana ŵandu ŵane ŵaakundukana une achitiji mechete yeleyo. Ŵandu ŵa chachilamulikwa yaikuti kuŵajilwa.
And Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Their condemnation is just.
9 Sambano tujileje uli? Tujileje uweji Ŵayahudi twapundile ŵandu ŵane? Ngaŵa! Pakuŵa masile kulosya kuti Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi wose akulongoswa ni sambi.
What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
10 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Ngapagwa namuno jumo jwali jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu,
As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one."
11 ngapagwa namuno jumo jwali ni umanyilisi, ngapagwa namuno jumo jwakulajila kwamanyilila Akunnungu.
"There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
12 Wose ŵalesile Akunnungu, wose ŵangalimate. Ngapagwa jwakutendekanya yambone, nachiŵamuno jumo.
They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, there is not even one."
13 Maloŵe gao gakununga nti lilembe lyangasiŵilwa ni ndimi syao sigumbele ulamba. Mu ngomo syao mukukopoka maloŵe gagali ni sumu chisau ni sumu ja majoka.
"Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "Viper's poison is under their lips;"
14 Kang'wa syao sigumbele malweso ni maloŵe gakuŵaŵa.
"Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
15 Ali ŵandu ŵakuutuchila kukwaulaga ŵandu,
"Their feet are swift to shed blood.
16 mwakupita mose akwikanago masauko ni malagasyo.
Destruction and calamity are in their paths.
17 Ngakukumanyilila kutama kwa chitendewele,
The way of peace, they have not known."
18 Ngakwajogopa Akunnungu namose kanandi.”
"There is no fear of God before their eyes."
19 Nipele tukumanyilila kuti maloŵe gose gagakuŵechetekwa ni Malajisyo ga che Musa gakwagamba ŵelewo ŵaali paasi pa Malajisyo go kuti kila mundu akakombola kulichenjela, ni ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo alamulikwe ni Akunnungu.
Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
20 Kwayele ngapagwa mundu juchaŵalanjikwe kuŵa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa kwitichisya Malajisyo, pakuŵa Malajisyo go gakunkamuchisya mundu kumanyilila kuti atesile sambi.
Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
21 Nambo sambano, litala lya Akunnungu lya kwaŵalanjila ŵandu kuti ali ŵambone paujo pao liwoneche pangagakulupilila malajisyo. Malajisyo gagalembekwe ni che Musa ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu gakusala umboni nkati chindu chi.
But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;
22 Akunnungu akwaŵalanjila ŵandu ali ŵambone paujo pao kwa litala lya kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Akunnungu akutenda yeleyo kwa ŵanawose ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, pakuŵa nganikupagwa kulekangana pasikati ja Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,
23 Pakuŵa ŵandu wose atesile sambi ni atalichile ni ukulu wa Akunnungu.
for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
24 Nambo kwa ntuuka wa bule wa Akunnungu, ŵandu wose akuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito jwakwawombola.
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
25 Akunnungu ŵantyosisye Che Yesu aŵe mbopesi, kuti kwa miasi jakwe akombole kwalechelesya ŵandu sambi syao kwa kunkulupilila Che Yesu. Akunnungu ŵatesile yeleyo kuti alosye umbone wao. Akanaŵe Kilisito kuwa Akunnungu ŵagambaga kwalola pe pangaalamula kwa ligongo lya sambi syao,
whom God set forth whom God displayed publicly as a mercy seat, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because in God's forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;
26 nambo sambano ŵatyosisye Che Yesu alosye kuti ali ŵambone. Kwa kutenda yele Akunnungu asyene akulosya kuti ali ŵambone ni akukombola kuntenda mundu jwalijose jwakunkulupilila Che Yesu aŵalanjikwe jwambone paujo pao.
to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, so that he would be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
27 Sambano chitulifunile chichi? Ngapagwa! Kwachichi! Pakuŵa akugajitichisya malajisyo? Ngwamba! Nambo kwa litala lya kwakulupilila Che Yesu.
Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
28 Kwayele tukulola kuti mundu akuŵalanjikwa kuŵa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi ni ngaŵa kwa litala lya kugajitichisya Malajisyo.
For we maintain that one is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29 Ana Akunnungu ali Akunnungu ŵa Ŵayahudi pe? Ana nganaŵa Akunnungu jwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nombe nawo? Elo, ali Akunnungu jwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nombe nawo.
Or is God for Jews only? Is he not the God of the non-Jews also? Yes, of the non-Jews also,
30 Akunnungu ali ŵamo pewo. Ni ŵawowo ŵachachaŵalanjila umbone Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kwa chikulupi chichocho.
since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
31 Ana ni kuti tukugajasa malajisyo kwa ligongo lya chikulupi? Ngwamba! Nambo tukulosya kuti tukugachimbichisya Malajisyo.
Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not. No, we establish the law.
