Romans 3
1 What then [is] the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of circumcision?
kange vwe vufumbue vuliku vuno alinavwo umuyahudi? vwe vufumbe vwa kukekua?
2 Much every way: and first, indeed, that to them were entrusted the oracles of God.
lwe lunono kyongo ku sila sooni. muvutengulilo vwa ghoni avayahudi vkapelilue ulusyetulilo kuhuma kwa Nguluve.
3 For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?
neke pe luliva ndani nave avayahudi vamonga navalyale nu lwitiko? pe kuleka kuva vagholofu, kulivomba uvugholofu vwa Nguluve kuva vwa vudesi?
4 Far be the thought: but let God be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in judgment.
Ndali! pe pano leka uNguluve avoneke kuva lweli, nambe kuuti umuunhu ghweni n'desi. ndavule vule jikalembilue kuuti, “ingufu kuvoneka kuuva nya kyang'ani ku masio ghako, ni ngufu kusinda pano ghukwingila ku vuhighi”
5 But if our unrighteousness commend God's righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak according to man.
neke nave uvuhosi vwitu vusoona ikyang'ani ja Nguluve, tuti ndaani? uNguluve na muhosi nambe pano ihumia ing'alasi jake, pe ali ndikio? nijova kuling'haana nu vufumbue vwa kimuunhu.
6 Far be the thought: since how shall God judge the world?
Ndali! pe ndani uNguluve ikujighigha iisi?
7 For if the truth of God, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
neke nave je lweli ja Nguluve kukilila uvudesi vwango kuhumia ulufunyo lwinga vwimila umwene, pe kiki pe nijighe nihighua ndavule unya vuhosi?
8 and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.
kiki tujove ndavule fino valyatudesile kange ndavule avange fino vijova kuuti tujova, “tuvombe uvuhosi, neke amanono ghise?” uvuhighi vwave vwe va kyang'ani.
9 What then? are we better? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin:
kye kinu kiki himbe? tukujivavila jusue? Ndali kyongo. ulwakuva usue tayale tuvahighile avayahudi na vayunani vooni palikimo, kuuti vali paasi pa sambi.
10 according as it is written, There is not a righteous [man], not even one;
iji jili ndavule jilembilue: “nakwale unyakyang'haani nambe jumo.
11 there is not the [man] that understands, there is not one that seeks after God.
nakwale umuunhu juno ikwelevua nakwale juno ikumulonda uNguluve.
12 All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one:
vooni vasyetung'iine, vooni palikimo vasila vufumbue, nakwale juno ivomba inono nambe jumo.
13 their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps' poison [is] under their lips:
amakalo ghavo je mbiipa jino ndindule imili savo sidesa, isumu ja njoka jili mumalomo ghave.
14 whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;
amalomo ghave ghamemile ulughuno nu vuvafi.
15 swift their feet to shed blood;
amaghulu ghave ghali luvilo kukung'a idanda,
16 ruin and misery [are] in their ways,
uvunangifu nu lupumuko fili mu sila saave.
17 and way of peace they have not known:
avaanhu ava navakagwile isila ja lwitiko.
18 there is no fear of God before their eyes.
kusila vwoghofi vwa Nguluve pa maaso ghave.
19 Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God.
lino tukagula kyokyoni kino indaghilo jijova, jijova na vala vano mu ndaghilo. kwe kuuti kudinda amalomo ghooni, ni iisi jooni jive nu vutavike kwa Nguluve,
20 Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law [is] knowledge of sin.
nu lu lwe lwakuva kusila m'bili ghuno ghuvalilua ikyang'haani ku maghendele gha ndaghilo pa maaso ghake. ulwakuva kukilila indaghilo vukwisa uvukagusi vwa sambi.
21 But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets;
neke lino kisila ndaghilo ikyang'haani ja Nguluve jino jikagulike. jilyajovilue ku ndaghilo na vavili,
22 righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;
ijio je kyang'haani ja Nguluve kukilila ulwitiko mwa Kilisite Yesu ku vitiiki vooni, lwakuva kusila tofauti.
23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
ulwakuva vooni vavombile uvuhosi, na kupelelela vwimike vwa Nguluve,
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus;
vavalilue ikyang'ahhani ja vuvule ku vumosi vwake ku sila ja vupoki vuno vuli mwa Kilisite Yesu.
25 whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;
ulwakuva uNguluve alyamwumisie uKilisite Yesu ava lusambanio ku sila ja lwitiko ku danda jake. alyamwumisie uKilisite hwene mulolelesi ghwa kyang'haani jake, ulwaluva kukuvulekesia uvuhosi vuno vwa kilile
26 for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.
ku lugudo lwake. aghu ghoni ghalyahumile neke kuvonesia ikyang'ani jake unsiki ughu ghwa lino. neke lulyale kuuti awesie kujivonesia jujuo kuva nyakyang'haani, na kuvonesia kuuva kumuvavalila umuunhu ghweni ku lwitiko mwa Kilisite Yesu.
27 Where then [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;
kulikughi kukughinia? kuvikilue lubale. ku vwalo vuliku? uvwalo vwa maghendele? Ndali! neke ku vwalo vwa lwitiko.
28 for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law.
lino tumalikisia kuuti umuunhu ivalilua ikyang'ani ku lwitiko kisila maghendele gha ndaghilo.
29 Is [God] the God of Jews only? is he not of [the] nations also? Yea, of nations also:
neke uNguluve ghwe Nguluve ghwa vayahudi veene? pe umwene naghwe Nguluve ghwa vaanhu vooni? Ena!, na vange vope.
30 since indeed [it is] one God who shall justify [the] circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.
nave je lweli Nguluve ghwe jumo, ikuvavalila ikyang'ani vano vadumulua ku lwitiko, na vano navadumulivue ku sila ja lwitiko.
31 Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: [no, ] but we establish law.
pe usue tukujikana indaghilo ja lwitiko? Ndali! ku nsana ku aghuo usue tukujitika indaghilo
