Romans 5
1 Because we trusted [in Christ], the record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins}. So we [now] have a peaceful relationship with God because of our trust in what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
Afei a ɛnam gyidie so ama Onyankopɔn abu yɛn bem no, yɛnam Awurade Yesu Kristo so anya Onyankopɔn asomdwoeɛ.
2 Because of [what] Christ [has done], God has also enabled us to begin experiencing his continually acting toward us in ways that we do not deserve. Also, we rejoice because we are confidently expecting that God [will gladly show] us how great he is.
Ɔnam gyidie so de yɛn aba Onyankopɔn adom a yɛte mu seesei no mu. Yɛn ani gye wɔ anidasoɔ mu sɛ yɛbɛnya Onyankopɔn anim animuonyam.
3 We rejoice even when we suffer [as a result of our trusting in Christ], because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things [patiently].
Afei, yɛn haw mu nso, yɛn ani gye, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛnim sɛ ɔhaw de boasetɔ ba,
4 And [we know] that when we endure things [patiently], the result is that [God] approves [of us]. And when we [know that God] approves [of us], the result is that we confidently expect [that he will do great things for us].
na boasetɔ de osuahunu ba, ɛnna osuahunu de anidasoɔ ba.
5 And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly [for], because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom [he] has} given to us, [causes] us to understand how much God loves us.
Saa anidasoɔ yi renni yɛn hwammɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn nam Honhom Kronkron a ɛyɛ nʼakyɛdeɛ a ɔde ama yɛn no so ahwie ne dɔ agu yɛn akoma mu.
6 When we were unable [to save ourselves], it was Christ who, at the time [that God chose], died on behalf of [us] ungodly [people].
Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu, ɛberɛ a yɛyɛ mmerɛ no, Kristo wu maa amumuyɛfoɔ.
7 Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, [even if] that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person.
Na ɛbɛyɛ den sɛ obi bɛwu ama deɛ ɔyɛ onipa tenenee mpo, na deɛ ɔyɛ onipa pa no deɛ, ebia obi bɛsi ne bo awu ama no.
8 Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn da ne dɔ adi wɔ yei mu sɛ; ɛberɛ a yɛyɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ no, Kristo wu maa yɛn.
9 The record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins} because of [what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed when he died]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved by Christ {that Christ will save us} from God’s punishing us [eternally] [MTY].
Esiane sɛ wɔnam ne mogya no so abu yɛn bem no enti, wɔnam ne so bɛgye yɛn afiri Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ mu.
10 Even when we were acting hostilely towards God, he enabled us to have a peaceful relationship with him as a result of his Son dying [for us]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved {Christ will be able to save us} [from God’s punishing us] [MTY] because Christ is alive [again] and because [God] has enabled us to have a peaceful relationship [with himself].
Na sɛ ɛberɛ a yɛyɛ atamfoɔ mpo Onyankopɔn de ne Ba no wuo yɛɛ mpatadeɛ maa yɛn a, saa mmerɛ yi a yɛne Onyankopɔn wɔ ayɔnkofa yi deɛ, yɛnim sɛ ɔnam ne Ba no so bɛgye yɛn nkwa.
11 And that’s not all! Now we also rejoice about [the things that] God [has done for us] because of our Lord Jesus Christ [dying for us] and enabling us to have a peaceful relationship with God.
Ɛnyɛ yei nko, mmom yɛnam AWURADE Yesu Kristo a ne mu na yɛanya mpata no gye yɛn ani wɔ Onyankopɔn mu.
12 [What you can learn from what I have written so far is as follows]: All people are sinful [PRS], and that is the result of [Adam, the first] man whom [God created, sinning long ago]. Adam died [PRS] because he sinned. So, all people [who have lived since then] die, because [it is as though] all people sinned [when Adam sinned].
Bɔne nam onipa baako so na ɛbaa ewiase, na ne bɔne no de owuo baeɛ. Ɛno enti owuo trɛ baa nnipa nyinaa so, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn nyinaa yɛɛ bɔne.
13 [People in] [MTY] the world sinned before [God gave his] laws [to Moses]. But people are not considered [by God] {[God] does not consider people} to be guilty for their sins if there is no law [stating that what they did was sinful].
Na bɔne wɔ hɔ ansa na wɔde Mmara no reba. Nanso, mmara nni hɔ a, wɔmmu bɔne ho akonta.
14 But [we know] that from [the time when] Adam [lived] until [the time when] Moses [lived], all people sinned, and they died [as a consequence] [PRS, MET]. Even people who sinned differently from the way Adam [sinned, died]. [Adam’s sin] affected [all people], just like what [Christ did], the one who came later, can affect all people.
Nanso, ɛfiri Adam ɛberɛ so kɔsi Mose ɛberɛ so no, owuo dii nnipa nyinaa so kɔsii wɔn mpo a wɔanyɛ bɔne, sɛdeɛ Adam deɛ ɔyɛɛ asoɔden kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn no. Ɛkwan bi so no, Adam yɛ Kristo, deɛ na ɔrebɛba no, sɛso.
15 But [the results of God’s erasing the record of our sins as] a gift to us are not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. The result of one man, [Adam], sinning was that many/all people have died. But [it is certain], [however], that many people have abundantly experienced God’s acting kindly toward them in a way they did not deserve. [It is also certain] that they have experienced God’s erasing the record of their sins as the result of one man, Jesus Christ, acting kindly toward them/towards them in a way they did not deserve.
Nanso, wɔn baanu no nyinaa nyɛ pɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ a ɔde kyɛ kwa no nte sɛ Adam bɔne no. Ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ ɛsiane saa onipa baako no bɔne enti nnipa pii wuwuiɛ. Nanso, Onyankopɔn adom no dɔɔso; ɛno enti na ɔnam onipa baako a ɔne Yesu Kristo adom so dom bebree kwa no.
16 And [there is another way in which God’s] freely [erasing the record of our sins] is not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. One person, [Adam, sinned]. As a result, God declared that all people deserve to be punished. Many people sinned. But what God did was that he erased the record of their sins without their earning it.
Bio, Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ no nte sɛ nsunsuansoɔ a ɛfiri onipa baako bɔne mu baeɛ no. Atemmuo no nam bɔne baako so de afɔbuo baeɛ, nanso bɔne bebree akyi no, akyɛdeɛ no de bembuo baeɛ.
17 All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, [Adam], did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule [with Christ] (OR, share [the glory] of Christ’s being king), [in heaven. This will happen] because of [what] one man, Jesus Christ, [did for us].
Sɛ ɛnam onipa baako bɔne so ɛna owuo dii ɔhene a, ɛnneɛ wɔn a wɔnya adom mmorosoɔ ne tenenee akyɛdeɛ no nam onipa baako a ɔne Yesu Kristo so bɛdi hene wɔ nkwa mu.
18 So, [because one man, Adam], disobeyed [God’s law], that resulted in all people deserving to be punished {that God punish them}. Similarly, because one man, [Jesus], acted righteously [by obeying God when he died], the result was that God is [able to erase the record of] all people’s sins and [enable them to] live eternally.
Enti sɛdeɛ onipa baako pɛ bɔne a ɔyɛeɛ no ma wɔbuu nnipa nyinaa fɔ no, saa ara nso na tenenee adeyɛ baako maa wɔbuu nnipa nyinaa bem, na yɛnyaa nkwa.
19 It was because one person, [Adam], disobeyed [God] that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, [Jesus], obeyed [God when he died] that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that [he] will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
Na sɛdeɛ ɛnam ɔbaakofoɔ asoɔden so enti nnipa nyinaa yɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ no, saa ara nso na onipa baako setie enti, wɔbɛyɛ bebree teneneefoɔ.
20 [God gave] [PRS] his laws [to Moses] [PRS] in order that [people might realize] how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
Wɔyɛɛ mmara no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a bɔne bɛda adi pefee; nanso mpɛn dodoɔ a bɔne dɔɔso no, adom no dɔɔso mmoroso,
21 He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
enti sɛdeɛ bɔne di nnipa so de wɔn kɔ owuo mu no, saa ara na adom no nam tenenee so de daa nkwa a ɛwɔ Yesu Kristo, yɛn AWURADE mu bɛba. (aiōnios g166)
