< Romans 3 >
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
ᎦᏙᎨᏃ ᎤᏍᏛ ᎤᏟ ᏄᏛᏅ ᎠᏧᏏ? ᎠᎴ ᎦᏙ ᎤᏍᏛ ᎬᏩᏓᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᎠᎱᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ?
2 Much in every way. Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
ᎤᏣᏘ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏄᏓᎴᏒᎢ; ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏒ ᎠᏗᎾ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎨᎦᎨᏅᏴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏁᏨᎢ.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
ᎦᏙᏃ ᎢᏳ ᎢᎦᏛ ᏄᏃᎯᏳᏅᎾ ᏱᎩ? ᏥᎪ ᏄᏃᎯᏳᏅᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᏱᏂᎬᎦ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ?
4 Absolutely not. Let God be found true, but every human being a liar. As it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you judge."
ᎬᏩᏟᏍᏗ; ᎥᎥ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎧᏁᎩ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎾᏂᎥᏃ ᏴᏫ ᎠᏂᏰᎪᎩ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎬᏅ ᎪᏪᎸᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎯᏁᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏣᏓᏎᎪᎩᏍᏗᏱ ᎿᎭᏉ ᏕᎱᎪᏔᏅᎭ.
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? (I am speaking in human terms).
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᏚᏳᎪᏛᎾ ᏃᎦᏛᏁᎸ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏱᏂᎬᏁᎭ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎦᏙ ᏓᏓᏛᏂ? ᎠᏍᎦᏅᎦᏍᎪ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏓᏍᏛᏗᏍᏙᏗᎭ? ( ᏴᏫᏉ ᎢᏳᏪᏍᏗ ᏂᏥᏪᎭ ).
6 Absolutely not. For then how will God judge the world?
ᎬᏩᏟᏍᏗ; ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᏄᏍᏗ ᎦᏙ ᏱᎦᎵᏍᏙᏓ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏱᏕᎫᎪᏓᏏ?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎧᏁᎩ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎤᏁᏉᏨᎯ ᏱᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᏄᏩᏁᎲᎢ ᎠᏴ ᎦᏥᎪᎲᏍᎬ ᏱᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ, ᎦᏙᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏏᏉ ᏛᏊᎪᏓᏁᎭ ᏥᏍᎦᎾ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ?
8 And why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Their condemnation is just.
ᎠᎴᏍᎪ ᎥᏝ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏳᎬᏫᏳᎭ, ( ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏲᎩᏐᏢᏛ ᏥᎪᎩᏃᎮᎭ, ᎠᎴ ᎩᎶ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏂᏪ ᏥᎪᎪᏎᎭ, ) ᎤᏲ ᏕᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎵᏰᎢᎸᏍᏗᏱ? ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏂᏍᎦᏅᏨ ᏧᎾᏚᎪᏓᏁᏗᏱ ᏚᏳᎪᏗ.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
ᎦᏙᎨ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎭ? ᎤᏟᏍᎪ ᏂᏙᎯ? ᎥᏝ ᎤᏍᏗᎩᏛ ᎤᏅ; ᎦᏳᎳᏰᏃ ᏕᎫᎪᏔᏅ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏧᎳ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᎠᎴ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ, ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᎠᏍᎦᏅᎢᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎾᏓᏄᏴᏛᎢ.
10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one."
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎬᏅ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ, ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎥᏝ, ᏌᏉ ᎤᏅ.
11 "There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎪᎵᎩ ᏱᎩ; ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏲᎯ ᏱᎩ.
12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, there is not even one."
ᎾᏂᎥᏉ ᎤᎾᏞᏒ ᎦᏅᏅᎢ, ᎢᏳᎾᏍᏗᎭᏉ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏗᎬᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏄᎾᎵᏍᏔᏅ; ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎥᏝ ᏌᏉ ᎤᏅ.
13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "Viper's poison is under their lips;"
ᎤᏂᎩᏍᏗᏱ ᏗᏓᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᎤᎵᏍᏚᎢᏛ ᏥᎨᏐ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ; ᏗᏂᏃᎪᎢ ᎠᎾᏓᎶᏄᎮᏗᏍᎪᎢ, ᎢᎾᏛ ᏚᏂᏁᎲ ᎠᏓᎯᎯ ᏚᏂᎭᏁᎦᎸ ᎭᏫᏂᏗᏢ ᏚᏂᏁᎭ.
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᏂᎰᎵ ᏗᎧᎵᏬᎯ ᎠᏓᏍᎩᏅᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏴᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
ᏧᎾᎳᏏᏕᏂ ᏗᏯᏄᎵᏳ ᎩᎬ ᎤᎾᏓᏤᏪᏗᏱ.
16 Destruction and calamity are in their paths.
ᎠᏛᏗᏍᎩ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏲ ᎠᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏔᎵ ᎤᏛᏗᏕᎪ ᎠᏁᏙᎲᎢ.
17 The way of peace, they have not known."
ᏅᏩᏙᎯᏯᏛᏃ ᎦᏅᏅ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏂᎦᏙᎥᏒᎯ ᏱᎩ.
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎥᏝ ᎢᎬᏱᏗᏢ ᏱᏄᏍᏗ ᏗᏂᎧᏅᎢ.
19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
ᎠᎴ ᎢᏗᎦᏔᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏂᎦᏪᏍᎬ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎤᏂᏁᏤᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎨᏥᏁᏄᎯ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏂᎥ ᏗᏂᎰᎵ ᏗᎨᏥᏍᏚᏁᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎡᎳᏂᎬ ᎠᏁᎯ ᎤᏂᏍᎦᏅᏨᎯ ᏧᏚᎪᏔᏅᎯ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏔᎲᎢ.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᏪᏍᎬ ᏄᏛᏁᎲ ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᏴᎬᏚᏓᎴᏍᏓ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎦᏔᎲᎢ; ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎠᏍᎦᏅᎢᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏙᏗ.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏓᏚᏓᎴᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ, ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎬᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᎬᏁᎸᎯ, ᎪᎯᏳᏙᏔᏅᎯ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎾᏙᎴᎰᏍᎬ ᏚᏃᏪᎸᎢ;
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏓᎦᏓᎴᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᏨᏗᏓᎴᎲᏍᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎠᏃᎯᏳᎲᏍᎩ ᎤᏂᎷᏤᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎤᎾᏤᎵ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗ ᏥᎩ; ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᎿᎭᎢ ᏱᎩ;
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
ᏂᎦᏗᏳᏰᏃ ᎤᏂᏍᎦᏅᏨᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎡᏍᎦ ᎤᏃᎭᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏓᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ;
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
ᎨᎫᏓᎴᏛ ᏂᏗᎨᏥᎬᏩᎶᏓᏁᎸᎾ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎠᎫᏴᏙᎢ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏥᏌ ᎤᏪᎲᎢ;
25 whom God displayed publicly as a mercy seat, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because in God's forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;
ᎾᏍᎩ [ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ] ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏥᏄᏩᏁᎸ ᎠᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᎪᎯᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎯᏳᏗᏱ ᎤᎩᎬ; ᏧᎾᏄᎪᏫᏎᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᎠᏍᎦᏅᏨᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎬᏩᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎬᏂᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏅᎯ;
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, so that he would be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
ᏧᎾᏄᎪᏫᏎᏗᏱ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᎯ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎫᏓᎴᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎪᎯᏳᎲᏍᎩ ᏥᏌ.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
ᎭᏢᎨᏃ ᎠᏢᏆᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ? ᎢᏴᏛ ᎢᎬᏁᎸᎯ. ᎦᏙ ᎤᏍᏗ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ? ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱᏍᎪ ᎠᏓᏁᏤᎯ? ᎥᏝ; ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏓᏁᏤᎯ.
28 For we maintain that one is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏕᏚᎪᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏴᏫ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏚᏓᎴᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᏂᎬᏅ ᏄᏛᏁᎸᎾ.
29 Or is God for Jews only? Is he not the God of the non-Jews also? Yes, of the non-Jews also,
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎪ ᎠᏂᏧᏏᏉ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎤᎾᏤᎵᎦ? ᏝᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎤᎾᏤᎵᎦ ᏱᎩ? ᎥᎥ, ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏴᏫ ᎤᎾᏤᎵᎦ.
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
ᏌᏉᎯᏳᏰᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏥᏕᎫᏓᎴᏍᏗᎭ ᏗᎨᏥᎤᏍᏕᏎᎸᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᏗᎨᏥᎤᏍᏕᏎᎸᎾ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏥᏕᎫᏓᎴᏍᏗᎭ.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not. No, we establish the law.
ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎪᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᏂᏛᏁᎭ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏛᏗᎭ? ᎬᏩᏟᏍᏗ; ᎢᏗᏍᏓᏱᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ.
