< Romans 3 >

1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
Su Myawudi kana shishi shongeleka kuliku wamonga? Ama kwingira jandu kwana mota gaa?
2 Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
Yina, kwana mota zivuwa! Mlungu kawapananiti huti Wayawudi ujumbi wakuwi.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
Kumbiti hashiweri ashi handa wamu wawu waweriti ndiri wajimirika, hashi, shitwatira ashi hashiwusiyi ujimirika wa Mlungu?
4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.”
Ndala! Mlungu hakasigali gwa nakaka mashaka goseri, tembera wantu woseri wawera wapaya. Malembu Mananagala galembwa, “Kila paguyowera, visoweru vyaku vyavimfiriziya Mlungu, hagukanki masitaka gaku mushizyungu.”
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
Kumbiti payiwera vidoda vyetu vilanguziya kuwera Mlungu kankutenda kwa uheri, su hatulongi kuwera Mlungu kapata ndiri uheri pakatwazibu? Neni nankutakula shimuntu.
6 May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
Ndala! Meyiweri hangu, hashi Mlungu mekawezi kutoza pasipanu?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Pamonga hagulongi, payiwera neni namwaminika ndiri, wankumlanguziya Mlungu kuwera mwaminika nentu na kumpanana ukwisa, su mentakiwiti ndiri kutozwa kuwera gambira muntu yakana vidoda!
8 Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
Sawa na kulonga, “Tutendi vidoda su tupati viheri!” Wantu wamonga watuhigilanga kwa kutupayira handa tufunda ntambu ayi. Womberi hawatozwi ntambu yawafiruwa.
9 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.
“Hashi, tulongi kuwera Wayawudi ndo waheri kuliku wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi? Ndala! Nanguziya kala kuwera Wayawudi pamuhera na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, woseri walongoziwa na vidoda.”
10 As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
Ntambu Malembu Mananagala galembwa, “Kwahera ata muntu yumu yakawera muheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu,
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
Kwahera muntu yakavimana ama ndomweni yakamsakula Mlungu.
12 They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
Woseri wapotoka, woseri wakosa, kwahera yakatenda viheri, kwahera ata muntu yumu.
13 “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
Makulamiru gawu gawera gambira lipumba lyalupalahera, milimi yawu yimema upayira, na mumilomu mwawu mlawa visoweru vyavilifana gambira usungu wa njoka.
14 “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
Visoweru vyawu vimema virapu vikalipa.
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Magulu gawu gakanongola kulaga,
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
Poseri pawagenda, womberi waleka ntabika na uharibisiya.
17 The way of peace, they have not known.”
Womberi wayimana ndiri njira ya ponga,
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Wamtira ndiri Mlungu.”
19 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.
Vinu tuvimana kuwera kila shintu Mulilagaliru lya Musa, shiwawusu wantu woseri yawawera pasi pa Lilagaliru lya Musa, su kuwanyamaziya wantu woseri na kutenda pasipanu poseri paweri pa utoza wa Mlungu.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Toziya kwahera muntu yoseri yakajimirwa kuwera muheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu kwa kutenda shashilagalirwa Mumalagaliru ga Musa. Lihengu lya Lilagaliru lya Musa ndo kutulanguziya hera twenga handa twana vidoda.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
Kumbiti vinu, Mlungu yakatutenda twenga tuweri waheri kulongolu kwakuwi pota lilagaliru lya Musa. Lilagaliru lya Musa na malembu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu galaviya ukapitawu mushitwatira ashi.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
Mlungu kawajimira wantu kuwera waheri kulongolu kwakuwi kupitira njimiru yawu kwa Yesu Kristu. Mlungu katendaga hangu kwa woseri yawamjimira Kristu, toziya kwahera ubagula woseri.
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Wantu woseri watenda vidoda na wapatali na ukwisa wa Mlungu.
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Kumbiti kwa lifupu lya manemu ga Mlungu, wantu woseri wamfiriziya Mlungu kwa njira ya Yesu Kristu yakawakombola.
25 whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
Mlungu kamlaviyiti Yesu, su kwa mwazi gwakuwi kaweri njira ya kuwalekiziya wantu vidoda vyawu kwa njimiru yawu kwakuwi. Mlungu katenditi hangu su kapati kulanguziya kuwera mweni ndo muheri. Pamakashu Mlungu kaweriti muhepelera pota na kulishera vidoda vya wantu.
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
Kwa njira ayi Mlungu kalanguziya kuwera mweni ndo muheri vinu na kamtenda muntu yoseri yakamjimira Yesu, kaweri muheri kulongolu kwakuwi.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Hashi, tuweza kulitumbira kwantambu gaa? Ndala! Hashi, tulitumbira shishi? Hashi, tuweza kulitumbira mahengu getu? Ndala! Twenga tulopoziwa kwa njimiru.
28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Toziya Mlungu kamtenda muntu kuwera muheri kulongolu kwakuwi kwa njimiru. Mlungu kawatenditi ndiri hangu toziya wankutenda shilii shashilagalirwa Mumalagaliru.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is not he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Hashi, Mlungu ndo Mlungu gwa Wayawudi hera, ama viraa gwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi? Yina, Mlungu ndo gwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi viraa.
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
Mlungu ndo yumu na yomberi hakawatendi Wayawudi kuwera waheri kulongolu kwakuwi kwa njimiru yawu na hakawatendi wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi kuwera waheri kulongolu kwakuwi kwa njimiru yawu viraa.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
Hashi, twankuitendera njimiru kugaleka Malagaliru? Ndala, kumbiti twankugajimira malagaliru gaweri na makakala nentu.
