Romans 5
1 Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Mme jaanong, ka re siamisitswe mo ponong ya Modimo ka tumelo mo ditsholofetsong tsa one, re ka nna le kagiso mo go one ka ntlha ya se Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona o se re diretseng.
2 It is through him that, by reason of our faith, we have obtained admission to that place in God’s favour in which we not stand. So let us exult in our hope of attaining God’s glorious ideal.
Gonne ka ntlha ya tumelo ya rona, o re beile mo lefelong le le nang le tshwanelo e e kwa godimo fa re leng teng jaanong, mme re lebeletse ka tshepo le ka boitumelo go nna se tota Modimo o neng o gopotse gore re nne sone.
3 And not only that, but let us also exult in our troubles;
Le rona re ka itumela, fa re tsena mo matha-teng le mo melekong gonne re itse gore mathata a re siametse, a re thusa go ithuta go nna pelotelele.
4 for we know that trouble develops endurance, and endurance strength of character, and strength of character hope,
Mme bopelotelele bo tlhogisa boitshwaro jo bo nonofileng mo go rona, ebile bo re thusa go ikanya Modimo thata mo nakong nngwe le nngwe fa re bo dirisa go fitlhelela lwa bofelo tsholofelo ya rona le tumelo di nonofa di bo di dira ka boiketlo le kelotlhoko di sa reketle.
5 and that ‘hope never disappoints.’ For the love of God has filled our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given us;
Mme fa moo go diragala, re kgona go ema re nitame, ga go re sepe gore go diragala eng ebile re itse gore gotlhe go siame, gonne re itse ka fa Modimo o re ratang ka teng, ebile re utlwa lorato lo lo tukang gongwe le gongwe mo go rona gonne Modimo o re neile Mowa O O Boitshepo go tlatsa dipelo tsa rona ka lorato lwa one.
6 seeing that, while we were still powerless, Christ, in God’s good time, died on behalf of the godless.
E rile re sa kgone go ithusa gotlhelele go se na letshoba la go falola, Jesu a tla ka nako e e tshwa-netseng mme a re swela rona baleofi ba re neng re sena molemo mo go ene.
7 Even for an upright man scarcely any one will die. For a really good man perhaps some one might even dare to die.
Le fa tota re ne re siame, re ne re se ka ke ra solofela ope go re swela, lefa go ntse jalo, go re swela go ne go ka kgonega.
8 But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
Mme Modimo o ne wa supa lorato lwa one lo logolo mo go rona ka go romela Keresete go tla go re swela fa re ne re sa ntse re le baleofi.
9 Much more, then, now that we have been pronounced righteous by virtue of the shedding of his blood, shall we be saved through him from the Wrath of God.
Mme e re ka madi a gagwe a re diretse mo gotlhe re le baleofi, o tlaa re direla go le gogolo thata jang jaanong ka a re supile re se molato? Jaanong o tlaa re boloka mo bogaleng jotlhe jwa Modimo jo bo tlang.
10 For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, shall we be saved by virtue of Christ’s Life.
Mme e re ka re ne re le baba ba one, re ne ra busediwa kwa Modimong ka loso lwa Morwaa one, kana ke masego a magolo thata jang a o tshwanetseng go a re naya jaanong ka gore re ditsala tsa one, le ka gore o nna mo go rona!
11 And not only that, but we exult in God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we have now obtained this reconciliation.
Jaanong re itumela mo kgolaganong ya rona e ntle e ncha le Modimo, gotlhe ka ntlha ya se Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete o se dirileng ka go swela dibe tsa rona, a re dira ditsala tsa Modimo.
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death; so, also, death spread to all mankind, because all men had sinned.
Erile fa Adamo a leofa, sebe sa tsena mo bathong botlhe. Sebe sa gagwe sa lere loso mo lefatsheng lotlhe, jalo sengwe le sengwe sa simolola go tsofala le go swa, gonne tsotlhe di leofile.
13 Even before the time of the Law there was sin in the world; but sin cannot be charged against a man where no Law exists.
(Re itse gore ke sebe sa ga Adamo se se dirileng selo se) gonne le fa go ntse jalo, batho ba ne ba tswelela ba leofa go simolola ka nako ya ga Adamo go fitlhelela ka Moshe, ka malatsi ao Modimo o ne o ise o ba neele melao ya one le fa e le go ba bolelela se o batlang ba se dira.
14 Yet, from Adam to Moses, Death reigned even over those whose sin was not a breach of a law, as Adam’s was. And Adam foreshadows the One to come.
Jalo e ne ya re fa mebele ya bone e e swa e bo e se ka ntlha ya dibe tsa bone, ka ntlha ya gore bone ka bo bone ba ne ba ise ba ke ba tlole molao mongwe wa botlhokwa wa Modimo kgatlhanong le go ja loungo lo lo idiwang, jaaka Adamo a ne a dira. A pharologanyo e tona fa gare ga ga Adamo le Keresete yo o neng a tlaa tloga a tla!
15 But there is a contrast between Adam’s Offence and God’s gracious Gift. For, if by reason of the offence of the one man the whole race died, far more were the loving-kindness of God, and the gift given in the loving-kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, lavished upon the whole race.
Gape a pharologanyo e tona fa gare ga sebe sa motho le boitshwarelo jwa Modimo! Gonne monna yo fela a le nosi Adamo, o lerile loso mo go ba le bantsi ka sebe sa gagwe. Mme monna yo ebong Jesu Keresete, o lerile boitshwarelo mo go ba le bantsi ka ntlha ya kutlwelo botlhoko ya Modimo.
16 There is a contrast, too, between the gift and the results of the one man’s sin. The judgment, which followed upon the one man’s sin, resulted in condemnation, but God’s gracious Gift, which followed upon many offences, resulted in a decree of righteousness.
Sebe sa ga Adamo se le sosi se lerile loso mo go ba le bantsi, fa Keresete a tlosa dibe tsotlhe a ba naya botshelo jo bo galalelang mo boemong jwa loso.
17 For if, by reason of the offence of the one man, Death reigned through that one man, far more will those, upon whom God’s loving-kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find Life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.
Sebe sa monna yo a le nosi, ebong Adamo, se dirile loso go nna kgosi mo go botlhe, mme botlhe ba ba tlaa amogelang neo ya Modimo ya boitshwarelo le kgololo ke dikgosi tsa botshelo ka ntlha ya monna yo, a le nosi, ebong Jesu Keresete.
18 Briefly then, just as a single offence resulted for all mankind in condemnation, so, too, a single decree of righteousness resulted for all mankind in that declaration of righteousness which brings Life.
Ee, Sebe sa ga Adamo se tlisitse kotlhao mo go botlhe, mme tshiamo ya ga Keresete e dira batho tshiamo mo Modimong, gore ba tshele.
19 For, as through the disobedience of the one man the whole race was rendered sinful, so, too, through the obedience of the one, the whole race will be rendered righteous.
Adamo o dirile ba le bantsi gore ba nne baleofi gonne gaa a ka a reetsa Modimo, mme Keresete o dirile ba le bantsi go amogelesega kwa Modimong gonne o ne a reetsa Modimo.
20 Law was introduced in order that offences might be multiplied. But, where sins were multiplied, the loving-kindness of God was lavished the more,
Melao e e some e ne ya ntshiwa gore botlhe ba bone selekanyo sa ka fa ba tlhaelang ka teng go obamela melao ya Modimo. Mme fa re ntse re bona boleo jwa rona ke gone bogolo re bonang kutlwelobotlhoko ya Modimo o o re itshwarelang.
21 in order than, just as Sin had reigned in the realm of Death, so, too, might Loving-kindness reign through righteousness, and result in Immortal Life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
Pele, sebe se ne se busa batho botlhe mme sa ba lere mo losong, mme jaanong kutlwelo-botlhoko ya Mo-dimo e busa mo boemong jwa sebe, e re naya tshwanelo ya go ema fa pele ga Modimo re le ba ba itekanetseng gore re nne le botshelo jo bo sa khu-tleng ka Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona. (aiōnios g166)
