Romans 3
1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision?
Vulotu nzi Majuda vuva Kwete? Intuso nzi ina hamupato?
2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Inkando kuhi no kuhi. Chentanzi kuzonse, Majuda vava vikiwa manzwi azwa kwa Ireeza.
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
Cwale kambe Majuda kana vavena Intumelo? Nji kuti kusa zumina kwavo mukufosise ku sepahala kwa Ireeza?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Kenzi kuvi vulyo. Kono, musiye Ireeza a wanike kuva wina initi, Niha kuva kuti muntu ni muntu wina mapa. Sina hakuva ñoletwe, ili kuti muvoniswe kuluka mu manzwi enu, ni kukoma chimweza kuatulwa.
5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
Kono heva kusa luka kwetu niku tondeza kuluka kwe Ireeza, tuwola kuwamba nzi? Kana Ireeza kalukite hanyandisa cha kuvenga? Niwamba cha kuya ka mano a muntu.
6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
Sanzi nikuvi vulyo! Hakuva vulyo Ireeza ka watule vule inkanda?
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
Kono heva vuniti vwe Ireeza cha mapa angu vuleta kulumba Ireeza kusamani, chinzi hanisi atulwa kuva ni muezalivi?
8 And not [rather], (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say, ) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
Chinzi kusa wamba, sina hatuwambiwa cha mapa kuwamba, mi sina vamwi havazumina kuti tuwamba, “Tupange vuvi, nji kuti vulotu vwize”? Inkatulo havali ilukite.
9 What then? are we better [than they]? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
Linu chinzi? Tulizwisa kuvamwi? Nanta. Chituva hambilizi kale ma Juda ni ma Gerike vonse, cha kuva mwi konde lya chivi.
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Ichi china vuti kamuchi va ñolelwe: “Kakwina yolukite, nanga yenke.
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Kakwina yo zuwisisa. Kakwina yogana Ireeza.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Vonse vava sanduki. Hamwina vava sanduki kusava ni ntuso. Kakwina yopanga vulotu, nanta, nanga yenke.
13 Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips:
Mimino yavo ivita lyi yalukite. Malimi avo ava chengi. Chifanu che nzoka china kunsi ye milomo.
14 Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness:
Tuholo twavo twizwile zikuto ni vuvi.
15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood:
Matende avo mahuvilila kukwi tila malaha.
16 Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:
Insinyeho ni masukuluka zina mwi nzila zavo.
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
Ava vantu kaveni kwiziva inzila ye nkozo.
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Kava tiyi Ireeza mumenso avo.”
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Hanu chitwizi zonse ziuwamba mulawo, uwamba kuvena mwi konde lyamulawo. Ili nji vaka lyo kuta kuti tuholo tonse twi yale, ili kuti inkanda yonse ive ni vuikalavelo kwa Ireeza.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
Chelyo ivaka kakwina muntu nihaiva yenke yete avikwe yo lukite cha mitendo ya mulawo mu menso akwe. Cha mulawo kwiza mano achivi.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Kono kunde ya mulao kulika kwa Ireeza kuve zivahanzwa. Kuva pakwa mulawo ni maporofita,
22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
uko, njikuluka kwe Ireeza che ntumelo kwa Jesu Kelesite ku vonse vazumina. kakuli ka kwina muva fapene.
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Vonse vava pangi chivi ni kwiza kusa wana hande ikanya ya Ireeza
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Vavikitwe cha kuluka feela cha chishemo chakwe cha kuhazwa kwina mwa Kelesite Jesu.
25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Ireeza ava leti Keresite Jesu kutiave chitavelo che ntumelo mumalaha akwe. Ava hi Keresite kuti a ve vupaki vo kuluka. kakuli kana va loli zivi
26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
zo kuma sule cha vuiswalo vwakwe. Izi ziva pangahali che mboniso zakuluka kwakwe mweinu inako. Izi zivena vuti ili kuti atondeze kuluka kwakwe, ni kutondeza kuti ushemuva zumwi ni zumwi che ntumelo ya Jesu.
27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Kulitemba kwina kuhi? kuvazwisiwa. Cho wuhi mulawo? Ya mitendo? Nanta, kono cha mulawo we ntumelo.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Tu kolwa kuti muntu uvikwa yo lukite che ntumelo nikusena mitendo yo mulawo.
29 [Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Kapa Ireeza nji Ireeza wa ma Juda vulyo? Kapa kana njiyena Ireeza wa machava? Eni, wa machava navo.
30 Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Heva, initi, Ireeza yenke, vavayi mumupato kavapange valukite che ntumelo, ni vasena vavayi mumupato che ntumelo.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Nji kuti tumana mulawo che ntumelo? Kete ni kuve vulyo, Kono, tukoza mulawo.
