Romans 5
1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Yeshua Meshikha;
Kwa hiyo, kwa kuwa tumekwisha kuhesabiwa haki kwa imani, tuna amani na Mungu kwa njia ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo,
2 through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in 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 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;
Si hivyo tu, bali twafurahi pia katika mateso, kwa sababu tunajua kuwa mateso huleta saburi,
4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:
nayo saburi huleta uthabiti wa moyo, na uthabiti wa moyo huleta tumaini,
5 and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Rukha d'Qudsha who was given to us.
wala tumaini halitukatishi tamaa, kwa sababu Mungu amekwisha kumimina pendo lake mioyoni mwetu kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu ambaye ametupatia.
6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Meshikha died for the ungodly.
Kwa maana hata tulipokuwa dhaifu, wakati ulipowadia, Kristo alikufa kwa ajili yetu sisi wenye dhambi.
7 For rarely does one die for the righteous. Yet perhaps for a good person someone might dare to 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 commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Meshikha died for us.
Lakini Mungu anaudhihirisha upendo wake kwetu kwamba: Tulipokuwa tungali wenye dhambi, Kristo alikufa kwa ajili yetu.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's 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, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved 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 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Lakini zaidi ya hayo, pia tunafurahi katika Mungu kwa njia ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, ambaye kupitia kwake tumepata upatanisho.
12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all people, because all 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 until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
kwa maana kabla sheria haijatolewa, dhambi ilikuwepo ulimwenguni. Lakini dhambi haihesabiwi wakati hakuna sheria.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adom until Mushe, even over those whose sins weren't like Adom's disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who 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 the free gift is not like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Yeshua Meshikha, abound to the 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 The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.
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 trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Yeshua Meshikha.
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 So then as through one trespass, all people were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all people were justified to 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 through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will 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 The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;
Zaidi ya hayo, sheria ilikuja, ili uvunjaji wa sheria uongezeke. Lakini dhambi ilipoongezeka, neema iliongezeka zaidi,
21 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life through Yeshua Meshikha 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)
