Romans 3
1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision?
Sena mulayeyengeti Bayuda bapita bantu ba mishobo naimbi? Ninga kupalulwa kukute pindu cini?
2 Much every way: chiefly, because that to them were committed the oracles of God.
Pali bwinishi bunene pakuba Muyuda, pakwinga pakutanguna Lesa walapa Bayuda maswi akendi kwambeti basungenga.
3 For what if some did not believe? will their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
Nomba nabambi pakati pabo nkabalashomeka, sena kubula lushomo kwabo ngakupesheti Lesa abule kushomeka?
4 By no means: verily let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.
Sobwe, ico nkacela kwinshika! Lesa abe wakubinga, necikabeti bantu bonse nibandemishibili. Mbuli Mabala ncakute kwambeti, “Amwe Lesa, lekani bantu bonse benshibeti mukute kwamba cakubinga, Kayi cindi conse mukute kucaniketi muliya kampenda pakukombolosha.”
5 But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man.)
Lino na kwipa kwetu kulaleshengeti Lesa walulama, ngatwambeconi? Sena ngatwambeti Lesa nkalulama pakutupa cisubulo? Ndambanga mbuli bantu nabambi ncobakute kwamba.
6 By no means: for then how shall God judge the world?
Sobwe, Lesa nalabula kuba walulama, sena nalakombolosheconi bantu bonse bapacishi capanshi?
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie to his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
Nabambi ngabambeti, “Nakubepa kwakame kulaleshenga patuba kushomeka kwa Lesa ne kukonempesha bulemeneno bwakendi, nomba ngaung'ombolosheconi eti nkute bwipishi?”
8 And not [rather] (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
Lino nicani ncotwelela kwambileti “katwinsani byaipa kwambeti byaina biboneke?” Cakubinga bantu nabambi balatutukananga pakwambeti, tulamba makani awa. Bantu aba Lesa nakabape cisubulo celela.
9 What then? are we better [than they]? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
Nomba lino sena afwe Bayuda twapita bantu ba mishobo naimbi? Sobwe! Tulapandululu kendi kwambeti bonse balepisha, Bayuda pamo ne bantu ba mishobo naimbi.
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Pakwinga Mabala akute kwambeti, “Paliya muntu walulama, sobwe naba umo kuliya.
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh God.
Kuliya muntu ukute kunyumfwishisha, kuliyawa muntu lalangaulunga Lesa.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Bantu bonse basula Lesa, kayi bonse basendama, paliya shikwinsa byaina, sobwe kuliya naba umo.
13 Their throat [is] an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips:
Kwamba kwabo nikwakubepa, kayi kukute kushinisha. Milaka yabo ikute kwamba byakubepa kayi mumilomo yabo mukute kufuma maswi aipa aipa eti mata anjoka.
14 Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness.
Mumilomo mwabo mwesula mashingo, mukute kufuma maswi aipa.
15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood.
Nibantu bakute kufwambana kulinga ne kushina banabo.
16 Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:
Bakute kononga ne kupensha bantu kulikonse nkobalayi,
17 And the way of peace have they not known.
kayi nkabacinshi kwikala mulumuno.
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Nkabakute kutina Lesa nambi pang'ana sobwe.”
19 Now we know that whatever things the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
“Lino tucinshi kwambeti byonse byambwa mu Milawo ya Lesa, bikute kwamba pali abo balakonkelenga Milawo kwambeti bantu bonse pa cishi capanshi bakabule pakuyubila milandu Lesa njeshakabape.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law, there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
Pakwinga kuliyawa muntu Lesa ngwakute kubona walulama pacebo ca kukonkela Milawo. Mulawo ukute kutulesheti bantu bonse balepisha.”
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being testified by the law and the prophets;
Nomba lino nshila ilaboneke yakucaninamo bululami pamenso a Lesa, nteyo yakukonkela Milawo sobwe. Milawo iyo niya Mose ne bashinshimi bakute kuyinshila bukamboni.
22 Even the righteousness of God, [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference:
Nshila bantu njobakute kucaninamo bululami pamenso a Lesa nikushoma Yesu Klistu. Lesa eukute kululamika bantu bashoma Yesu Klistu, pakwinga kuliya bupusano pakati pa bantu bonse.
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Bantu bonse balepisha, kayi balalilwa kushika ku bulemeneno bwa Lesa.
24 Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ:
Nsombi kwinamoyo kwakendi Lesa kwabulyo, bantu balulamikwa kupitila muli Klistu Yesu uyo walabalubula.
25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Lesa walamubengeti abe mulumbo kwambeti lufu lwakendi, lulesheti Lesa walulama uliyawa kubapa cisubulo abo balepisha mucindi cakunyuma
26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.
pacebo cakuba ne moyonteka. Nomba pacindi cino Lesa walabenga Yesu kwambeti aboneshe kululama kwakendi, ne kwambeti benshibeti nendi walulama, kayi uliyense washoma Yesu ukute kuba walulama pamenso a Lesa.
27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith.
Nomba sena lino muntu ngolitukumuna? Sobwe, nkela kulitukumuna. Pacebo cini? Sena nipakukonkela Milawo? Sobwe, nsombi kushoma.
28 Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Neco lino tulabono kwambeti muntu ukute kuba walulama pamenso a Lesa na lashomo, nteko kukonkela Milawo sobwe.
29 [Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Sena Lesa ni Lesa wa Bayuda bonka? Sena ntendiye kayi Lesa wa bantu ba mishobo naimbi? Cakubinga endiye Lesa wa bantu ba mishobo naimbi.
30 Seeing [it is] one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Lesa ni umo, neco endiye ukute kululamika Bayuda kupitila mulushomo kayi nabo bantu bakunsa bakute kuba balulama kupitila mulushomo.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? By no means: but we establish the law.
Sena ici cilambangeti Milawo iliyawa ncito pakwambeti nikupitila mulushomo? Sobwe! Empotulaiyumishinga Milawo.
