Ŵaloma 5
1 Sambano pakuŵa tuŵalanjikwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa chikulupi, kwapele tukutama kwa chitendewele pasikati jetu ni Akunnungu kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
2 Kwa litala lya chikulupi chetu, Che Yesu atutesile tuumanye umbone wa Akunnungu mwatukutama mu, noweji tukusangalala kwa chilolelo cha kukamulangana mu ukulu wa Akunnungu.
It is through him that, by reason of our faith, we have obtained admission to that place in God’s favor in which we now stand. So let us exult in our hope of attaining God’s glorious ideal.
3 Ni ngaŵa yeleyo pe, nambo tukusengwa kwa ligongo lya malagasyo gatukugapata, pakuŵa tukumanyilila kuti malagasyo gakuichisya upililiu,
And not only that, but let us also exult in our troubles;
4 ni upililiu ukuichisya kulimbangana ni kulimbangana kukuichisya chilolelo.
for we know that trouble develops endurance, and endurance strength of character, and strength of character hope,
5 Ni chilolelo cho ngachikunsupusya ntima mundu, ligongo Akunnungu aŵisile unonyelo wao mu mitima jetu kwa litala lya Mbumu jwakwe jwatupele.
and that hope never disappoints. For the love of God has filled our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given us;
6 Pakuŵa patwaliji tukanaŵe kola ni machili, pakaichile katema kaŵakasagwile Akunnungu, Kilisito ŵawile kwa ligongo lyetu uweji ŵachigongomalo.
seeing that, while we were still powerless, Christ, in God’s good time, died on behalf of the godless.
7 Ili ya kulimba kwa mundu jwalijose kuwa kwaligongo lya mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu, nambo ikomboleka mundu kuwa kwaligongo lya mundu jwambone.
Even for an upright person scarcely anyone will die. For a really good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.
8 Nambo Akunnungu akutulosya kuti akutunonyela, pakuŵa patwaliji chiŵela ŵandu ŵa sambi, Kilisito ŵawile kwaligongo lyetu.
But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
9 Pakuŵa sambano tuŵalanjikwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya miasi ja Kilisito, isyene chitukulupuswe ni ŵelewo kutyochela mu lutumbilo lwa Akunnungu.
Much more, then, now that we have been pronounced righteous by virtue of the shedding of his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
10 Pakuŵa patwaliji ŵammagongo ŵa Akunnungu, Akunnungu ŵatujilenye ni nsyene kwa chiwa cha Mwanagwe. Ni sambano pakuŵa tujilanikwe nawo, isyene tutukulupuswe kwa litala lya umi wa Kilisito.
For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, will we be saved by virtue of Christ’s life.
11 Ni ngaŵa iyoyo pe, nambo tukusengwa kwa ligongo lya aila yaitesile Akunnungu kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito jwatujilenye ni Akunnungu.
And not only that, but we exult in God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we have now obtained this reconciliation.
12 Kwa litala lya mundu jumo sambi syajinjile mu chilambo muno ni kuichisya chiwa. Kwayele chiwa chaichilile ŵandu wose, ligongo wose atesile sambi.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death; so, also, death spread to all humanity, because every person has sinned.
13 Akunnungu akanaŵe kwapa che Musa Malajisyo, sambi syajinjile mu chilambo. Nambo sambi ngasikuŵalanjikwa kuti sili sambi pangali Malajisyo.
Even before the time of the Law there was sin in the world; but sin cannot be charged against someone where no Law exists.
14 Nambo chitandile katema ka che Adamu kwichila katema ka che Musa, chiwa chaatawele ŵandu wose namose aŵala ŵanganatenda sambi chisau sambi siŵasitesile che Adamu. Che Adamu ali mpela Kilisito juchaiche.
Yet, from Adam to Moses, death reigned even over those whose sin was not a breach of a law, as Adam’s was. And Adam foreshadows the one to come.
15 Nambo chileŵo chi che Adamu ngachikomboleka kulandanywa ni ntuuka wa Akunnungu. Pakuŵa iŵaga sambi sya mundu jumo syaichisye chiwa kwa wose, ikulosya kuti ntuuka wa Akunnungu upundile nnope ni ntulilo wao uli kwa ŵandu ŵajinji, nombewo ukukopoka kwa mundu jumo, jwele mundu ali Che Yesu Kilisito.
But there is a contrast between Adam’s offense and God’s gracious gift. For, if by reason of the offense of the one man the whole human race died, far more were the loving kindness of God, and the gift given in the loving kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, lavished on the whole human race.
16 Ntuuka wa Akunnungu ngaukulandana ni sambi sya mundu jumo. Akunnungu ŵanlamwile jwaleŵile kwa ligongo lya mundu jumo, nambo ŵandu ŵajinji paŵatesile sambi, Akunnungu ŵaichisye ntulilo wa kwaŵalanjila aŵe ŵandu ŵambone paujo pao.
There is a contrast, too, between the gift and the results of the one man’s sin. The judgment, which followed on the one man’s sin, resulted in condemnation, but God’s gracious gift, which followed on many offenses, resulted in a decree of righteousness.
17 Ili isyene kuti kwa litala lya chileŵo cha mundu jumo, chiwa chatawele. Nambo achila chiŵachitesile mundu jumo, yaani Che Yesu Kilisito chili chambone mwakupunda. Ŵandu wose chapochele umbone wekulu wa Akunnungu ni ntulilo wekulu wakutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, chatawale mu umi kwa litala lya mundu jumo, mundu jo ali Che Yesu Kilisito.
For if, by reason of the offense of the one man, death reigned through that one man, far more will those, on whom God’s loving kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 Nipele iŵaga kwa chileŵo cha mundu jumo ŵandu wose ŵalamulikwe kwamukwa, iyoyo peyo kwa chipanganyo chambone cha mundu jumo, chikwawombola ŵandu wose ni kwapa umi.
Briefly then, just as a single offense resulted for all humanity in condemnation, so, too, a single decree of righteousness resulted for all humanity in that declaration of righteousness which brings life.
19 Pakuŵa kwa litala lya ungajitichisya wa mundu jumo, ŵandu ŵajinji ŵatendekwe ali ni sambi, iyoyo peyo kwitichisya kwa mundu jumo, kukwatenda ŵandu ŵajinji aŵalanjikwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
For, as through the disobedience of the one man the whole human race was rendered sinful, so, too, through the obedience of the one, the whole human race will be rendered righteous.
20 Malajisyo gaiche kuti ŵandu alimanyilile yatite kukola sambi, nambo ŵandu paŵapundile kutenda sambi, ntuuka wa umbone wa Akunnungu wapundile nnope.
Law was introduced in order that offenses might be multiplied. But, where sins were multiplied, the loving kindness of God was lavished the more,
21 Mpela ila sambi syasitite pakutawala ni kwichisya chiwa, iyoyo peyo ntuuka wa umbone wa Akunnungu chiutawale kwa kwatenda ŵandu aŵe ŵambone paujo pao ni kwalongosya akole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito Ambuje ŵetu. (aiōnios g166)
in order that, just as sin had reigned in the realm of death, so, too, might loving-kindness reign through righteousness, and result in eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
