Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? And what is the benefit of circumcision?
Pwu Myahudi ikhava khehi? Ukhukhekhetiwa khwikhava khehii?
2 It is great in every way. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with revelation from God.
Lononu fincho khela njela. Khuvwutengulilo, avayahudi vapevilwe ulovonekhelo ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve.
3 For what if some Jews were without faith? Will their unbelief abolish God's faithfulness?
Pwu yayiva ndeti ingave Avayahudi avange valevovole ulwedekho? ukhu sitakhwedekha khwavene khukhokhovekha uvugolofu wa Nguluve ukhuva vovivi?
4 May it never be. Instead, let God be found to be true, even though every man is a liar. As it has been written, “That you might be shown to be righteous in your words, and that you might prevail when you come into judgment.”
Ate padebe, ulwa khuva, nndekhe Nguluve avonekhe ukhuta va yelweli, ndayeve khela munu nn'desi. Ingave umuyasimbiwe, “Ukhuta pwu uvonekhe ukhuva ulevayelweli mu mamenyu gaakho, ukhulotelela vwuvukhwingela pa vukhegi.
5 But if our unrighteousness shows the righteousness of God, what can we say? Can we say that God is unrighteous to bring his wrath upon us? (I am using a human argument.)
Engave imbivi nchetu nchivonesya elweli eya Nguluve, pwu tute khekhi? uNguluve si mbivi vwu ikhumya elyoyo lya mwene khukhuta ale evo? Ninchova ukhukhumana na lweli yavwu munu.
6 May it never be! For then how would God judge the world?
Ate! ndakhekhi u Nguluve umuyakhiva ikhikhekhega ekhilunga?
7 But if the truth of God through my lie provides abundant praise for him, why am I still being judged as a sinner?
Engave lweli ya Nguluve ukhugendela uvwodesi vwango ikhumia ulwiginio khu mwene, khekhi nipi khegiwa ndu ntula nongwa?
8 Why not say, as we are falsely reported to say, and as some affirm that we say, “Let us do evil, so that good may come”? The judgment on them is just.
Khekhi tunchove ndu vovya tudeteliwa na avange vikhwedekhana ukhuta twinchova, “Tuvombe imbivi, pwu ginche amananu? Uvukhegi khuvene vwa yelweli.
9 What then? Are we excusing ourselves? Not at all. For we have already accused both Jews and Greeks, all of them, of being under sin.
Khenu khehi? Ukhwetetela yofwe? Losikhuli, ulwa khuva ufwe tuvadetile avayahudi na Wayunani voni paninie, ukhuta vale pasi pa mbivi.
10 This is as it is written: “There is no one righteous, not one.
Ele ndavovwalesimbiwe: Asikhiwi uvayelweli, nu uve aliyumo.
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
Asikhuli umunu yuywa ikhweliwa. Asikhuli umunu uveikhondonda u Nguluve.
12 They have all turned away. They together have become useless. There is no one who does good, no, not even one.”
Voni vasyetwikhe, voni paninie wakhosinche ulwedekhano. Asikhuli uveivomba inonu na aleomo.
13 “Their throat is an open grave. Their tongues have deceived. The poison of snakes is under their lips.”
Emisingo gya vene vuguli uvole mwanchi. Indimi incha vene nchidetile, ugoda gwa njokha guli pasi mumilomo gya vene.
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
Emilomo gya vene gedekhile ulukhoto nu luvavo.
15 “Their feet are swift to pour out blood.
Amalunde ga vene ginyilela ukhududa ukhisa.
16 Destruction and suffering are in their paths.
Uvunangi nu vukhuvilwa filimnjila ncha vene.
17 These people have not known a way of peace.”
Avanu ava savayemanyile enjela ya lweli.
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Lusimuli uludwado lwa Nguluve pa mikho gavo.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to the ones who are under the law. This is in order that every mouth may be shut, and the whole world held accountable to God.
Leno tulumanyile ukhuta khyokyoni ekhenchoviwa nu lulagelo, khinchova khuvavo valepasi palulagilo pwu khela ndomo gudendiwe, pwu ekhelunga khyoni khendondage u Nguluve.
20 This is because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Ulwa khuva gusipali umbeli uguyakheva guvaleliwa vwa yelweli khu mbombo ncha lulagelo khu mwene. Ulwa khuva ukhugendela mu lukhwincha ulukhala lwa mbivi.
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known. It was witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
Ulwa khuva leno bila lulagelo, elweli ya Nguluve yemanyikhikhe, yavonikhe khululagelo lwa vanya malango.
22 that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe. For there is no distinction.
Eye yu lweli ya Nguluve ukhugendela elweli eya Yesu klisite khuvavo vikhumwedekha.
23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,
Ulwa khuva voni vavombile imbivi nu khuva nu uvuvalanche vudebe uvwa Nguluve.
24 and they are freely justified by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Vavaleliwe uvwayelweli vulevule khu lukhungu lwa mwene khu njila iya vupokhi vuvwa vule mwa Klisite Yesu.
25 For God provided Christ Jesus as a propitiation through faith in his blood. He offered Christ as proof of his justice, because of his disregard of previous sins
Ulwa khuva u Nguluve ang'ominche u Klisite Yesu ave lusayano khu njila ya yelweli mu nkhisa gwa mwene. Ang'ominshe Klisite ndu ntangeli va yelweli eya mwene, ukhunchisye khela inongwa inchilutile.
26 in his patience. This all happened for the demonstration of his righteousness at this present time. This was so he could prove himself just, and to show that he justifies anyone because of faith in Jesus.
Pa khwiyumilincha pamwene aga gone gakhumile pwu elweli ya mwene yevonekhe khu misekhe ege. Eye yale pwu ivonesye uvwa yelweli vwa mwene, pwu livonekhe ukhuta ikhombalela umunu alavenchaga elweli mwa Klisite.
27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. On what grounds? Of works? No, but on the grounds of faith.
Pwu khulindakhu ukhwiginia? khulekhekhine khu mbombo ilekhu? Ulutu lwa mbombo? Ate, ulutu lwa yelweli.
28 We conclude then that a person is justified by faith without works of the law.
Pwu tumalela ukhuta umunu ivaleliwa elweli khu luhungu hetavomba imbombo incha lulagilo.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not also the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also.
Tute uNguluve avile Nguluve va Wayahudi vene? Umwene savile Nguluve va vanu va khilunga khyoni? Eena va khilunga khyoni.
30 If, indeed, God is one, he will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.
Yengave ya lweli u Nguluve aleyomo, alavavalela elweli avakhekhetiwe huluhungu, na vavo savakhekhetiwe khu njila eya luhungu.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! Instead, we uphold the law.
Pwu ufwe tukhulwandula ululagilo lwa luhungu, ate ufwe tukhulwedekha ululagilo.
