Romans 3
1 What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision?
Mme go thusang go nna Mojuta? A go na le botlhokwa bongwe mo thupisong ya Sejuta?
2 Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God.
Ee, go nna Mojuta go na le dithuso di le dintsi. Santlha Modimo o ne wa ba neela melao ya one ka go ba ikanya [gore ba tle ba itse mme ba dire go rata ga one].
3 For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect?
Boammaaruri ke gore, bangwe ba bone ba ne ba sa ikanyege, mme fela ka ntlha ya gore ba ne ba senya ditsholofetso tsa bone mo Modimong, a seo se raya gore Modimo o tlaa senya ditsholofetso tsa one?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged.
Ga go a nna jalo! Le fa batho mo lefatsheng e le baaki, Modimo one ga o a nna jalo. A o gakologelwa se se buiwang ke lokwalo lwa Dipesalema kaga selo se? Gore mafoko a Modimo a tlaa aga a supega a le boammaaruri a bile a siame, ga gore sepe gore mongwe o a ganetsa.
5 Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.)
Mme bangwe ba re, “Mme go senya tumelo ya rona mo Modimong go siame, tsa rona dibe di bontsha tshiamo, gonne batho ba tlaa lemoga gore Modimo o siame thata jang fa ba bona ka fa re leng maswe ka teng. A go siame jaanong, gore o re otlhae fa dibe tsa rona di o thusa?” (Ke ka fa batho bangwe ba buang ka teng.)
6 God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world?
Modimo o a gana wa re a go se tualo! Gonne e ne e tlaa bo e le Modimo o o ntseng jang, fa o tlodisa sebe matlho? O ne o ka atlhola le fa e le mang jang?
7 For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner?
Gonne o ne o ka seka wa ntshekisa wa bo wa nkatlhola ke le moleofi fa go tlhoka go ikanyega ga me go ne go o leretse kgalalelo ka go supa go ikanyega ga one fa go tshwantshanngwa le maaka a me.
8 And (as we are blamed, and as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust.
Fa o tsweletse ka mogopolo o o reng: Modimo o itumela fa re le baleofi! Katlholo e go emetse wena yo o buang dilo tse di ntsengjaana. Legale bangwe ba re ke sone se ke se rutang se!
9 What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne,
Jalo he, a rona Bajuta re botoka go na le ba bangwe? Nnyaa, le goka, gonne re setse re supile gore batho botlhe ke baleofi ka go tshwana, a e ka ne e le Bajuta kgotsa Badichaba.
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.
Jaaka dikwalo di bua, “Ga go na ope yo o siameng, ga go na ope mo lefatsheng lotlhe yo o senang molato.”
11 There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God.
Ga go na le fa e le ope yo o kileng a tsamaya sentle mo ditseleng tsa Modimo, kgotsa le fa e le go batla go tsamaya mo go tsone ka boammaaruri.
12 They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.
Botlhe ba leofile ba fapogile. Ga go na ope le fa e le kae yo o tsweletseng pele a dira se se siameng; le fa e le a le mongwe.
13 Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes.
Dipuo tsa bone di leswe ebile di bosula jaaka monkgo wa sebodu o o tswang mo phupung e e atlhameng. Diteme tsa bone di tletse maaka. Sengwe le sengwe se ba se buang se na le lobolela le botlhole jwa dinoga tse di bolayang.
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse.
Melomo ya bone e tletse thogakano le bogalaka.
15 Their feete are swift to shead blood.
Ba bofefo go bolaya, ba ila le fa e le mang yo o sa dumalaneng le bone.
16 Destruction and calamity are in their waies,
Gongwe le gongwe kwa ba yang teng ba tlogela tshotlego le matshwenyego kwa morago,
17 And ye way of peace they haue not knowen.
le gone ga ba ise ba ke ba itse tsela ya kagiso le fa e le go akola masego a Modimo.
18 The feare of God is not before their eies.
Ga ba boife sepe kaga Modimo le fa e le se Modimo o se gopolang kaga bone.
19 Now we know that whatsoeuer ye Lawe saieth, it saieth it to them which are vnder ye Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world be subiect to the iudgement of God.
Jalo tshegetsa melao ya Modimo mo boemong jwa go dira dilo tse tsotlhe tse di bosula; ga go na le fa e le ope wa bone yo o nang le seipato; ka boammaaruri lefatshe lotlhe le didimetse ebile le molato fa pele ga Modimo Mothatayotlhe.
20 Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.
Jaanong a lo lemoga sentle? Ga go na le fa e le ope yo o ka siamisiwang mo ponong ya Modimo ka go dira se molao o se laolang. Gonne fa re ntse re tswelela ka go itse melao ya Modimo, re simolola go lemoga sentle gore ga re e obamele; melao ya one e dira gore re bone gore re baleofi.
21 But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets,
Mme jaanong Modimo o re supegeditse tsela e sele ya go ya kwa legodimong, e seng “ka go siama ga rona” le go leka go tshegetsa melao ya one, mme e leng ka tsela e ncha (lefa go ntse jalo tota ga e ncha, gonne dikwalo ga di bolo go bolela ka ga yone bogologolo).
22 To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue.
Jaanong Modimo wa re o tlaa re amogela o bo o re golola, o re supa “re se molato” fa re ikanya Jesu go tlosa dibe tsa rona. Mme le rona rotlhe re ka bolokwa mo go yone tsela e, ka go tla kwa go Keresete, ga gore sepe gore re bomang kgotsa gore ra re re ntse jang.
23 For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God,
Ee, botlhe ba leofile; botlhe ba tlhaela kgalaletso ya Modimo;
24 And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus,
mme le fa go ntse jalo Modimo o re supa “re se molato” wa go o leofela fa re ikanya mo go Jesu Keresete, yo mo bopelonoming jwa gagwe o tlosang dibe tsa rona kwa ntle ga tuelo epe.
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed,
Gonne Modimo o rometse Jesu Keresete go tlosa kwatlhao ya rona ka ntlha ya dibe tsa rona, le go fedisa bogale jotlhe jwa Modimo jo bo re okameng. Modimo o dirisitse madi a ga Keresete le tumelo ya rona e le tsela ya go re boloka mo bogaleng jwa one. Ka yone tsela e, o ne wa supa tshiamo ya one o sa patike ope, le fa o ise o ke o otlhae ba ba neng ba leofa mo metlheng ya pele. Gonne o ne o lebetse kwa pele nako e Keresete o neng a tlaa tla ka yone go tlosa dibe tseo tsotlhe.
26 Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.
Mme jaanong le mo malatsing ano, o ka amogela baleofi ka yone tsela e, gonne Jesu o tlositse dibe tsa bone. A mme tota golo mo go siame gore Modimo o golole badira bosula, mme o bo o re ga ba na le fa e le molato ope? Nnyaa, gonne o go dira ka go ikanya ga bone mo go Jesu yo o tlositseng dibe tsa bone.
27 Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded. By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith.
Mme re ka ipelafatsa ka go dira eng gore re bone poloko? Ga go sepe gotlhelele. Ka go reng? Gonne kgololo ya rona ga e a ikaega mo ditirong tsa rona tse di molemo; e ikaegile mo go se Keresete o se dirileng, le tumelo ya rona mo go ene.
28 Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe.
Jalo go raya gore re bolokwa ka tumelo ya rona mo go Keresete e seng ka ditiro tse di molemo tse re di dirang.
29 God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also.
A mme Modimo o boloka Bajuta fela ka yone tsela e? Nnyaa, le Badichaba ba ka tla kwa go ene ka yone tsela e.
30 For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith.
Modimo o re tsaya fela ka go tshwana; botlhe fela, a e ka ne e le Bajuta kgotsa Badichaba, ba a gololwa fa ba na le tumelo.
31 Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe.
Mme jalo he, fa re bolokwa ka tumelo, a mo go raya gore ga re sa tlhole re tlhokana le go obamela melao ya Modimo? Nnyaa ga go a nna jalo! Tota fela fa re ikanya Jesu ke gone re ka o obamelang ka boammaaruri.
