Romans 5
1 Then being iustified by faith, we haue peace toward God through our Lord Iesus Christ.
Kwa hiyo, kwa kuwa tumekwisha kuhesabiwa haki kwa imani, tuna amani na Mungu kwa njia ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo,
2 By who also through faith, we haue had this accesse into this grace, wherein we stand, and reioyce vnder ye hope of the glory of God.
ambaye kwa kupitia kwake tumepata kwa njia ya imani kuifikia neema hii ambayo ndani yake sasa tunasimama, nasi twafurahia katika tumaini letu la kushiriki utukufu wa Mungu.
3 Neither that onely, but also we reioyce in tribulations, knowing that tribulation bringeth forth patience,
Si hivyo tu, bali twafurahi pia katika mateso, kwa sababu tunajua kuwa mateso huleta saburi,
4 And patience experience, and experience hope,
nayo saburi huleta uthabiti wa moyo, na uthabiti wa moyo huleta tumaini,
5 And hope maketh not ashamed, because the loue of God is shed abroade in our heartes by the holy Ghost, which is giuen vnto vs.
wala tumaini halitukatishi tamaa, kwa sababu Mungu amekwisha kumimina pendo lake mioyoni mwetu kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu ambaye ametupatia.
6 For Christ, when we were yet of no strength, at his time died for the vngodly.
Kwa maana hata tulipokuwa dhaifu, wakati ulipowadia, Kristo alikufa kwa ajili yetu sisi wenye dhambi.
7 Doutles one will scarce die for a righteous man: but yet for a good man it may be that one dare die.
Hakika, ni vigumu mtu yeyote kufa kwa ajili ya mwenye haki, ingawa inawezekana mtu akathubutu kufa kwa ajili ya mtu mwema.
8 But God setteth out his loue towards vs, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs.
Lakini Mungu anaudhihirisha upendo wake kwetu kwamba: Tulipokuwa tungali wenye dhambi, Kristo alikufa kwa ajili yetu.
9 Much more then, being now iustified by his blood, we shalbe saued from wrath through him.
Basi, kwa kuwa sasa tumehesabiwa haki kwa damu yake, si zaidi sana tutaokolewa kutoka ghadhabu ya Mungu kupitia kwake!
10 For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne, much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life,
Kwa kuwa kama tulipokuwa adui wa Mungu tulipatanishwa naye kwa njia ya kifo cha Mwanawe, si zaidi sana tukiisha kupatanishwa, tutaokolewa kwa uzima wake.
11 And not onely so, but we also reioyce in God through our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom we haue nowe receiued the atonement.
Lakini zaidi ya hayo, pia tunafurahi katika Mungu kwa njia ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, ambaye kupitia kwake tumepata upatanisho.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sinne entred into ye world, and death by sinne, and so death went ouer all men: in who all men haue sinned.
Kwa hiyo kama vile dhambi ilivyoingia ulimwenguni kupitia kwa mtu mmoja, na kupitia dhambi hii mauti ikawafikia watu wote, kwa sababu wote wamefanya dhambi:
13 For vnto the time of the Law was sinne in the worlde, but sinne is not imputed, while there is no lawe.
kwa maana kabla sheria haijatolewa, dhambi ilikuwepo ulimwenguni. Lakini dhambi haihesabiwi wakati hakuna sheria.
14 But death reigned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them also that sinned not after the like maner of that transgression of Adam, which was the figure of him that was to come.
Hata hivyo, tangu wakati wa Adamu hadi wakati wa Mose, mauti ilitawala watu wote, hata wale ambao hawakutenda dhambi kwa kuvunja amri, kama alivyofanya Adamu, ambaye alikuwa mfano wa yule atakayekuja.
15 But yet the gift is not so, as is the offence: for if through the offence of that one, many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christ, hath abounded vnto many.
Lakini ile karama iliyotolewa haikuwa kama lile kosa. Kwa maana ikiwa watu wengi walikufa kwa sababu ya kosa la mtu mmoja, zaidi sana neema ya Mungu na ile karama iliyokuja kwa neema ya mtu mmoja, yaani, Yesu Kristo, imezidi kuwa nyingi kwa ajili ya wengi.
16 Neither is the gift so, as that which entred in by one that sinned: for the fault came of one offence vnto condemnation: but the gift is of many offences to iustification.
Tena, ile karama ya Mungu si kama matokeo ya ile dhambi. Hukumu ilikuja kwa njia ya mtu mmoja, ikaleta adhabu, bali karama ya neema ya Mungu ilikuja kwa njia ya makosa mengi, ikaleta kuhesabiwa haki.
17 For if by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more shall they which receiue that abundance of grace, and of that gift of that righteousnesse, reigne in life through one, that is, Iesus Christ.
Kwa maana ikiwa kutokana na kosa la mtu mmoja, mauti ilitawala kupitia huyo mtu mmoja, zaidi sana wale wanaopokea wingi wa neema ya Mungu na karama yake ya kuhesabiwa haki, watatawala katika uzima kwa njia ya huyo mtu mmoja, yaani, Yesu Kristo.
18 Likewise then as by the offence of one, the fault came on all men to condemnation, so by the iustifying of one, the benefite abounded toward all men to the iustification of life.
Kwa hiyo, kama vile kosa la mtu mmoja lilivyoleta adhabu kwa watu wote, vivyo hivyo pia kwa tendo la haki la mtu mmoja lilileta kuhesabiwa haki ambako huleta uzima kwa wote.
19 For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so by that obedience of that one shall many also be made righteous.
Kwa maana kama vile kwa kutokutii kwa yule mtu mmoja wengi walifanywa wenye dhambi, vivyo hivyo kwa kutii kwa mtu mmoja wengi watafanywa wenye haki.
20 Moreouer the Law entred thereupon that the offence shoulde abound: neuerthelesse, where sinne abounded, there grace abounded much more:
Zaidi ya hayo, sheria ilikuja, ili uvunjaji wa sheria uongezeke. Lakini dhambi ilipoongezeka, neema iliongezeka zaidi,
21 That as sinne had reigned vnto death, so might grace also reigne by righteousnesse vnto eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
ili kwamba kama vile dhambi ilivyotawala kwa njia ya mauti, vivyo hivyo neema iweze kutawala kwa njia ya kuhesabiwa haki hata kuleta uzima wa milele katika Yesu Kristo Bwana wetu. (aiōnios g166)
