Romans 3
1 What special privilege, then, has a Jew? Or what benefit is to be derived from circumcision?
Ahi ngye ha fifikon wa Bayahude he niwu? Naki ahi ngye hi mah yo gji?
2 The privilege is great from every point of view. First of all, because the Jews were entrusted with God's truth.
Akwai muhimanci ba ninkon bari. Ni mumla de ana Yahudawa irji bu tre ni bawu.
3 For what if some Jews have proved unfaithful? Shall their faithlessness render God's faithfulness worthless?
Inde mbru Yahudawa bana kpanyime ni njanji na fa? Wa ba na kpa njani na ani zu ndindi ndu Irji?
4 No, indeed; let us hold God to be true, though every man should prove to be false. As it stands written, "That Thou mayest be shown to be just in the sentence Thou pronouncest, and gain Thy cause when Thou contendest."
Ana he naki ma na, maimako naki, Irji ka kma ti u njanji, na ndji ba wawu ba bi tiche, na ndji ba han hla don duba tsro ndi wu u ndindi ni mi tre me la wu kpaka ni toh wa banji u hi ni shishi tron.
5 But if our unrighteousness sets God's righteousness in a clearer light, what shall we say? (Is God unrighteous--I speak in our everyday language-- when He inflicts punishment?
Ama inde meme bu a tsro ndindi Irji, naki ki tre ngye? ki ya tre ndi Irji hi meme nda nji nfu ma ni tu mbu? (Misi ti ni sen nyu u ndji).
6 No indeed; for in that case how shall He judge all mankind?)
Ana taba he naki na. Naki Irji ni tron gbugbu'a ni he?
7 If, for instance, a falsehood of mine has made God's truthfulness more conspicuous, redounding to His glory, why am I judged all the same as a sinner?
Inde njanji u Irji ni ti gbugbu ce mu ani kara ninkon ni nyu'u, angye sa mi hai ni tron na'u lah tre?
8 And why should we not say--for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing--"Let us do evil that good may come"? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just.
Angye sa kina tre, ki yba shishi, ndi tre, bari ba krie nda tre, du ta tie meme, ndi du ndindi ye? Hukunci ba a ndindima.
9 What then? Are we Jews more highly estimated than they? Not in the least; for we have already charged all Jews and Gentiles alike with being in thraldom to sin.
Angye naki, ki no tumbu sen nyu'u? Ana he naki na don ki guchi tre Yahuda baba Hllinawa ye ndi tre ndi wawu mbawu ba he ni mi lahtre.
10 Thus it stands written, "There is not one righteous man.
Na ba nha, ba ndji u njanji, iriri na he na.
11 There is not one who is really wise, nor one who is a diligent seeker after God.
Ba ndji wa a toh kpie, ba wa'a ni wa Irji.
12 All have turned aside from the right path; they have every one of them become corrupt. There is no one who does what is right--no, not so much as one."
Wawu mbawu ba kankon don, wawu mbawu ba kma tibi wa bana he ni anfani na. Ba wa ani tie ndu ndindima, a'an iriri na he na.
13 "Their throats resemble an opened grave; with their tongues they have been talking deceitfully." "The venom of vipers lies hidden behind their lips."
Gbugbran mba he ni ho na be, Ilbe mba a ban lilo, Itso wan a he ni mi lbe mba.
14 "Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."
Inyu mba a shu ni la'ah ni ri gberjerje me.
15 "Their feet move swiftly to shed blood.
Izah mba ni tsutsu gbagbla ni ka yi hle
16 Ruin and misery mark their path;
Inkon mba ahi yah ni tie meme.
17 and the way to peace they have not known."
Ndji biyi bana toh nkon sun u si na.
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
Bana he ni klu sissri Irji ni shishi mba na.
19 But it cannot be denied that all that the Law says is addressed to those who are living under the Law, in order that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may await sentence from God.
Naki ki toh ndi du kpie wa itron a tre, itro ani tre ni bawu wa ba he ni mi ma, don duba ka iyu mba wawu, naki gbungblu a wawu'u ka no amsa ni shishi Irji.
20 For on the ground of obedience to Law no man living will be declared righteous before Him. Law simply brings a sure knowledge of sin.
Naki ni shishi ba ndji wa ba kpa chuwo ni tu ndu tron. Nitu tron, toh lah tre aye.
21 But now a righteousness coming from God has been brought to light apart from any Law, both Law and Prophets bearing witness to it--
Naki zizan'a nitu tron ba tsro toh njanji Irji wa itron ni annabawa basi hla.
22 a righteousness coming from God, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ and extends to all who believe. No distinction is made;
Naki ndindi Irji ahi njanji nimi Yesu Almasihu hi ni biwa ba kpa nyime ni njanji. Naki, kakan na he na.
23 for all alike have sinned, and all consciously come short of the glory of God,
Naki, wawu'u mbawu ba lah tre, bana ya ka hi ni daraja Irji,
24 gaining acquittal from guilt by His free unpurchased grace through the deliverance which is found in Christ Jesus.
ni ndindima ba kpa ta chuwo ni tu kpachuwo wa'a he ni mi Yesu Almasihu.
25 He it is whom God put forward as a Mercy-seat, rendered efficacious through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness-- because of the passing over, in God's forbearance, of the sins previously committed--
Aman Irji a ban Yesu Almasihu no wa ahi hadaya u kpachuwo u njanji nimi iyi ma. A ban Almasihu na nimatsayi tabbacin hukunci ma, nitu ketarewa lah tre mbu wu kogon'a.
26 with a view to demonstrating, at the present time, His righteousness, that He may be shown to be righteous Himself, and the giver of righteousness to those who believe in Jesus.
Nimi vu suron ma, naki i wa yi ati ndu tsro ndindima nimi toh i du kpanyime ni tuma u hukunci, nda tsro wawu hi u kpa konha chuwo saboda, njanji wa ahe nimi Yesu.
27 Where then is there room for your boasting? It is for ever shut out. On what principle? On the ground of merit? No, but on the ground of faith.
To, i wru wo ni san he ni ntsen? Ba chu'u rju. Nitu ngye? Nitu ndu? Aman nitu ndu? Ama nitu njanji.
28 For we maintain that it is as the result of faith that a man is held to be righteous, apart from actions done in obedience to Law.
Nakima kikle tre a ndi ba kpa ndji chuwo, ana he nitu ndu tron na.
29 Is God simply the God of the Jews, and not of the Gentiles also? He is certainly the God of the Gentiles also,
Ko naki Irji ahi Irji Yahudawa ni kankrji? Ana Irji bi kora ngame na? i ahi bi kora ngame.
30 unless you can deny that it is one and the same God who will pronounce the circumcised to be acquitted on the ground of faith, and the uncircumcised to be acquitted through the same faith.
Nakima inde gbigbi ahi Irji riri, ani kpa biwa ba yo nji ni bawu chuwo nitu njani.
31 Do we then by means of this faith abolish the Law? No, indeed; we give the Law a firmer footing.
Ki ka tron hlega nitu njanji? Ana taba he nakima na, nakima kisi hu gon tro kena.
