Aroma 3
1 Gwatuĩka ũguo-rĩ, Mũyahudi agĩkĩrĩte andũ arĩa angĩ na kĩ? Kana bata wa kũrua ũkĩrĩ ũrĩkũ?
What then [is] the superiority of the Jew? Or what [is] the benefit of the circumcision?
2 Hĩ! Ũguni no mũnene na njĩra ciothe! Mbere ya maũndũ mothe, Ayahudi nĩo mehokeirwo ũramati wa ciugo cia Ngai.
Much in every way; Chiefly indeed for for they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
3 Ĩ kũngĩkorwo amwe ao nĩmagire kwĩhokeka, kwaga kwĩhokeka kwao, nĩkũngĩatũmire Ngai aage gũtuĩka mwĩhokeku?
What for if disbelieved some? Surely not the unbelief of them the faithfulness of God will nullify?
4 Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Ngai arotuĩka wa ma, na mũndũ o wothe atuĩke wa maheeni, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Nĩguo kuonekage atĩ rĩrĩa ũkwaria, wee waragia maũndũ ma kĩhooto, na ũhootanage rĩrĩa ũgũciirithania.”
Never would it be! should it be however God true, every now man a liar (even as *NK(o)*) it has been written: That then You may be justified in the words of You and (will prevail *N(k)O*) in judging You.
5 No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo wagi witũ wa ũthingu nĩũtũmaga ũthingu wa Ngai ũguũrio mũno makĩria-rĩ, tũkiuge atĩa? No tuuge atĩ Ngai ti wa kĩhooto rĩrĩa egũtũkinyĩria mangʼũrĩ make? (Ndĩraaria o ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa gũkũ thĩ angĩaria.)
If however the unrighteousness of us God’s righteousness shows, what will we say? Surely not [is] unrighteous God who is inflicting the wrath? According to man I speak;
6 Aca, kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo kũrĩ-rĩ, Ngai angĩgĩtuĩra thĩ ciira atĩa?
Never would it be! Otherwise how will judge God the world?
7 No mũndũ ahota kuuga atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo kũheenania gwakwa no kũingĩhie ũhoro-wa-ma wa Ngai, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtũme riiri wake wongerereke-rĩ, niĩ ngĩtuagĩrwo ciira ta ndĩ mwĩhia nĩkĩ?”
If (however *N(k)O*) the truth of God in my lie abounded to the glory of Him, why still also I myself also I myself as a sinner am judged?
8 Nĩ kĩĩ kĩgiragia tuuge, ta ũrĩa tũcambagio atĩ nĩguo tuugaga, o na ta ũrĩa andũ amwe moigaga atĩ nĩguo tuugaga, “Nĩtũtũũre twĩkaga ũũru nĩguo wega woneke”? Acio-rĩ, gũtuĩrwo ciira kwao nĩ gwa kĩhooto.
And surely even as we are denigrated and even as affirm some [that] we to say that Let us do the [things] evil that may come the good things? Their condemnation just is.
9 Tũkiuge atĩa? Ithuĩ Ayahudi tũkĩrĩ ega gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ? Aca, tiguo! Nĩtũrĩkĩtie kuonania hau mbere atĩ Ayahudi o hamwe na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ othe nĩmagwĩte hinya-inĩ wa mehia.
What then? Are we better? Not at all; We have already charged for Jews both and Greeks all under sin to be
10 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũthingu, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe;
Even as it has been written that None there is righteous not even one;
11 gũtirĩ mũndũ ũmenyaga ũndũ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrongoragia Ngai.
none there is who is understanding, none there is who is seeking after God;
12 Othe nĩmagarũrũkĩte, makoora, othe hamwe magatuĩka kĩndũ gĩtarĩ bata; gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩkaga wega, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe.”
All turned away, together they became worthless; none there is (who *n*) is practicing good, not there is so much as one.
13 “Mĩmero yao ĩhaana ta mbĩrĩra hingũre; nĩmĩ ciao ciaragia o maheeni.” “Mĩromo yao yaragia maũndũ marũrũ ta thumu wa nduĩra.”
A grave opened [is] the throat of them, with the tongues of them they were practicing deceit; [the] venom of vipers [is] under the lips of them;
14 “Tũnua twao tũiyũrĩte irumi na ũrũrũ.”
of whom the mouth of cursing and of bitterness is full.
15 “Mahanyũkaga na magũrũ magaite thakame;
swift [are] the feet of them to shed blood;
16 mwanangĩko na kĩeha nĩcio cionanagia kũrĩa magereire,
ruin and misery [are] in the paths of them;
17 nayo njĩra ya thayũ matimĩũĩ.”
and [the] way of peace not they have known.
18 “Hatirĩ wĩtigĩri Ngai maitho-inĩ mao.”
Not there is fear of God before the eyes of them.
19 Na rĩu-rĩ, nĩtũũĩ atĩ maũndũ marĩa mothe watho uugĩte, merĩtwo andũ arĩa marĩ rungu rwa watho, nĩgeetha kanua o gothe gakirio, nao andũ a thĩ othe matuĩke a gũciirithio nĩ Ngai.
We know now that as much as the law says to those under the law it speaks, so that every mouth may be stopped, and under judgment may be all the world to God.
20 Tondũ wa ũguo-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũ ũngĩtuuo mũthingu maitho-inĩ ma Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa kũrũmia watho; no rĩrĩ, watho nĩguo ũtũmaga andũ mamenye atĩ nĩmehĩtie.
Therefore by works of [the] Law not will be justified any flesh before Him; through for [the] Law [is] knowledge of sin.
21 No rĩrĩ, rĩu ũthingu uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai nĩũmenyithanĩtio na njĩra ĩngĩ ĩtahutanĩtie na Watho wa Musa, o na gũtuĩka nĩyoimbũrĩtwo o tene nĩ Watho na Anabii.
Now however apart from law [the] righteousness of God has been revealed being borne witness to by the Law and the Prophets,
22 Naguo ũthingu ũyũ nĩ ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai, na ũheagwo arĩa othe metĩkĩtie na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Jesũ Kristũ. Gũtirĩ ũhoro wa gũthuurania andũ,
[the] righteousness now of God through faith from Jesus Christ toward all (and upon all *K*) those believing; Not for there is distinction.
23 nĩgũkorwo andũ othe nĩmehĩtie na makanyiihĩrwo nĩ riiri wa Ngai,
All for have sinned and they fall short of the glory of God
24 na nĩ ũndũ wa wega wa Ngai magatuuo athingu o ũguo tũhũ, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa maakũũrirwo nĩ Kristũ Jesũ.
being justified freely by the of Him grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,
25 Ngai aamũrutire arĩ igongona rĩa kũhoroheria mehia na ũndũ wa wĩtĩkio thĩinĩ wa thakame yake. Ngai eekire ũguo nĩgeetha onanie ũthingu wake, tondũ wa ũrĩa mehia ma mbere ĩyo maarekeirwo andũ matekũherithio, nĩ ũndũ wa gũkirĩrĩria kwa Ngai,
whom set forth as God a propitiation through faith in His blood for a showing forth of the righteousness of Him because of the forbearance of the having taken place beforehand sins — in the forbearance of God;
26 nake eekire ũguo nĩgeetha onanie ũthingu wake mahinda-inĩ maya, na kũmenyeke atĩ we nĩ mũthingu, na nĩwe ũtuaga andũ arĩa metĩkĩtie Jesũ athingu.
for (of the *no*) showing forth the righteousness of Him in the present time for to be Him just and justifying the [one] of faith of Jesus.
27 Gwagĩtuĩka ũguo-rĩ, kwĩraha gũkĩrĩ ha? Nĩ kweherie biũ. Kweheretio nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩrĩkũ? Hihi nĩ ũndũ wa kũrũmia watho? Aca, no nĩ ũndũ wa watho ũrĩa wa wĩtĩkio.
Where then [is] the boasting? It has been excluded. Through what principle? That of works? No, but through [the] principle of faith.
28 Nĩgũkorwo nĩtũrũmĩtie atĩ mũndũ atuagwo mũthingu na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia no ti ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra watho.
We reckon (therefore *N(k)O*) to be justified by faith a man apart from works of the Law.
29 Ngai-rĩ, akĩrĩ o Ngai wa Ayahudi oiki? Githĩ Ngai ti wa andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ o nao? Ĩĩ, nĩ Ngai wa andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ o nao,
Or of Jews [is He] the God only, surely [is] (now *k*) also of Gentiles? Yes also of Gentiles,
30 nĩgũkorwo Ngai no ũmwe, na nĩwe ũrĩĩtuaga andũ arĩa maruaga athingu, na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia, na arĩa mataruaga nao amatuuage athingu na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia o ro ũguo.
(if indeed if indeed *N(k)O*) One God [is] who will justify [the] circumcision by faith and [the] uncircumcision through the [same] faith.
31 Rĩu-rĩ, no twagithie ũhoro wa watho kĩene nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro wa wĩtĩkio ũcio? Aca, kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, nĩ watho tũgũkĩongerera hinya.
Law then do we nullify through faith? Never would it be! Instead law we uphold.
