< Aroma 5 >
1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuona atĩ nĩtũtuĩtwo andũ athingu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia-rĩ, tũrĩ na thayũ na Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ,
Since we stand justified as the result of faith, let us continue to enjoy the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 we ũrĩa ũtũmĩte tũgĩe na mweke wa gũkinya wega-inĩ wa Ngai, harĩa tũrũngiĩ rĩu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia. Na ithuĩ nĩtũkenaga nĩ ũndũ wa kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩa tũrĩ nakĩo gĩa gũgaakinyĩra riiri wa Ngai.
Through him also we have had our access into this grace in which we have taken our stand, and are exulting in hope of the glory of God.
3 Na to ũguo wiki, no rĩrĩa tũrĩ mathĩĩna-inĩ nĩtũkenaga tondũ nĩtũũĩ atĩ gũthĩĩnĩka gũtũmaga tũũmĩrĩrie;
And not only so, but we are actually exulting also even in our troubles; for we know that trouble works fortitude,
4 nakuo kũũmĩrĩria gũtũmaga tũgĩe na gwĩkindĩra; nakuo gwĩkindĩra gũtũmaga tũgĩe na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.
and fortitude character, and character, hope -
5 Nakĩo kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩu gĩtingĩtũũraga ngoro, tondũ Ngai nĩaitĩrĩirie wendani wake ngoro-inĩ ciitũ na ũndũ wa Roho Mũtheru, ũrĩa we aatũheire.
a hope which never disappoints us. For through the Holy Spirit who has given to us, the "brimming river of the love of God" has overflowed in our hearts.
6 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, o ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire rĩakinya, o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tũtaarĩ na hinya, Kristũ nĩakuire nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa matatĩĩaga Ngai.
For while we were still without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.
7 Nĩ hinya mũno mũndũ akue nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ mũthingu, no hihi kwahoteka kuoneka mũndũ ũngĩkua nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ mwega.
Why, a man will hardly give his life for another, even for a righteous man, though perchance for a good man one might even take it upon himself to die.
8 No Ngai nĩonanĩtie wendo wake kũrĩ ithuĩ na njĩra ĩno: Atĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa twatũire tũrĩ ehia-rĩ, Kristũ nĩatũkuĩrĩire.
But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Kuona atĩ rĩu nĩtũtuĩtwo athingu na ũndũ wa thakame yake-rĩ, githĩ tũtigakĩhonokio makĩria kuuma harĩ mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai nĩ ũndũ wake!
By how much more, then, being now justified in his blood, shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
10 Tondũ-rĩ, angĩkorwo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa twarĩ thũ cia Ngai nĩtwaiguithanirio nake na ũndũ wa gĩkuũ kĩa Mũriũ, na tondũ rĩu tũrĩ aiguithanie na Ngai-rĩ, nĩtũrĩkĩragĩrĩria kũhonokio nĩ ũndũ Kristũ arĩ muoyo.
For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved in his life.
11 Na to ũguo wiki, no o na nĩtũkenagĩra Ngai thĩinĩ wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ, o ũcio ũtũmĩte tũiguithanio na Ngai.
And not only that, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained our reconciliation.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, o ta ũrĩa kwĩhia kwa mũndũ ũmwe gwatũmire mehia matoonye gũkũ thĩ, nakĩo gĩkuũ gĩgĩtoonya nĩ ũndũ wa mehia, nao andũ othe magĩtuĩka a gũkuaga tondũ nĩmehirie,
Thus, then, sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death and so death spread to all men, because all had sinned.
13 nĩgũkorwo o na watho ũtanaheanwo, mehia maarĩ kuo gũkũ thĩ. No gũtarĩ watho mũndũ ndangĩtuuo mwĩhia.
For prior to the Law, sin actually existed in the world, but sin was not set down to man’s account when there was no law.
14 O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, kuuma hĩndĩ ya Adamu o nginya hĩndĩ ya Musa, gĩkuũ nĩkĩo gĩatũire gĩthamakagĩra andũ, o na arĩa matehĩtie na ũndũ wa kwagarara watho ta ũrĩa Adamu eekĩte, arĩ we mũhano wa Ũrĩa warĩ wa gũũka thuutha.
Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned as king, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adam’s transgression. Now Adam is a type of Him who was to come.
15 No kĩheo kĩu gĩtihaanaine na ihĩtia rĩa kwagarara watho. Tondũ angĩkorwo andũ aingĩ nĩmakuire nĩ ũndũ wa ihĩtia rĩa mũndũ ũmwe-rĩ, wega wa Ngai o na kĩheo kĩrĩa kĩarehirwo nĩ wega wa mũndũ ũcio ũmwe, na nĩwe Jesũ Kristũ-rĩ, nĩcio ciiyũrĩrĩire andũ aingĩ mũno makĩria!
But the free gift is not like the transgression; for if through the transgression of that one man the rest on men died, much more did the grace of God and the gift given in his grace in the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow unto the rest of men.
16 O na ningĩ, kĩheo kĩu kĩa Ngai gĩtiringaine na maciaro ma mehia ma mũndũ ũcio ũmwe: Tondũ gũtuĩrwo kwa rĩĩhia rĩu rĩmwe nĩkuo gwatũmire andũ matuĩrwo ciira, no kĩheo kĩu kĩaheanirwo nĩ Ngai o ũguo tũhũ kĩarutirwo nĩ ũndũ wa mehia maingĩ, nakĩo gĩgĩtũma matuuo athingu.
And it is not with the free gift as it was through the one that sinned; for the judgment came from one transgression unto condemnation; but the free gift came from many transgressions unto acquittal.
17 Tondũ-rĩ, angĩkorwo kwĩhia kwa mũndũ ũmwe gwatũmire gĩkuũ gĩthamake nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũcio ũmwe-rĩ, githĩ arĩa maamũkagĩra wega mũingĩ wa Ngai na kĩheo kĩu kĩa ũthingu matigũtũũra mathamakaga makĩria marĩ muoyo-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũmwe, o we Jesũ Kristũ!
For if through the transgression of the one, death reigned as king through the one, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in life through One, through Jesus Christ.
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o ta ũrĩa kwĩhia riita o rĩmwe gwatũmire andũ othe matuĩrwo ciira-rĩ, ũguo noguo gĩĩko kĩmwe kĩa ũthingu gĩatũmire andũ othe matuuo athingu nĩguo magĩe na muoyo.
It follows then, as through the transgression of one man came condemnation unto all men, even so through the act of righteousness of One came acquittal and life to all men.
19 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa ũremi wa mũndũ ũmwe watũmire andũ aingĩ matuuo ehia-rĩ, ũguo noguo gwathĩka kwa mũndũ ũcio ũmwe gũgũtũma andũ aingĩ matuuo athingu.
For just as through the disobedience of one man the rest were made sinners; even so by the obedience of One shall all the rest be made righteous.
20 Ũhoro wa watho wongereirwo nĩguo mehia mongerereke. No harĩa mehia mongererekire-rĩ, naguo wega wa Ngai ũkĩongerereka makĩria,
Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, grace super-abounded;
21 nĩgeetha o ta ũrĩa mehia maathamakire thĩinĩ wa gĩkuũ-rĩ, o naguo wega wa Ngai ũthamakage nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu, nĩguo ũtũkinyie muoyo-inĩ wa tene na tene nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ Kristũ Mwathani witũ. (aiōnios )
in order that as sin has ruled as king in death, so also grace might rule as king in righteousness which issues in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord, - ours! (aiōnios )
