Roma Yaaba 3
1 Roma yaaba pia be ke li cie ya nibuoli n sieni, ku kɔnciagu ñuadi tie be?
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision?
2 Lan tieni maama kuli, li mɔni boncianla kelima, U Tienu kpia ki mubni bani i, o ñɔmaama.
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
3 Be ya po i! Bi siiga nni, tianba yaa dugi, bi yenyiema ba fidi ki buoni U Tienu ń niani ba yaala i?
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4 Lani waa ye! bá bi niba kuli ya tie tonandanba, U Tienu wani li tie mɔmɔndaano i, nani lan diani maama yeni: «KI fidi ban bandi a maama nni ke a tiegi, a ya buni yeni bi niba mo, ŋan paadi ba.»
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5 Ti biadma ya dɔgdi U Tienu teginma, ti ba maadi be? U Tienu ya waani o pabienli ti biadma po, waa ji tiegi ii? (N maadi nani bi nisaalba ń maali maama i)
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
6 yeni ka! U Tienu ya ki tiegi o ba bu ŋanduna ledi i?
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 N tofaama ya dɔgdi U Tienu mɔmɔni, ki waani o kpiagdi, li ba ga ledi i, ban bu nni nani n tie biidi daano yeni i?
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8 Nani nitianba ń tabi ku tuotabgu ki tua ke ti maadi maama: «Be n cedi ke ti kan ya tiendi mi biadma, man yuandi ki cua yeni li bonŋanli?» U Tienu ba bu, ki cuo ba lan buali maama.
And not [rather], (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say, ) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9 Lanwani i, i maali ke ti tie nimɔnba yo oo? kalam! Kelima ti bontitiedi waani ke tikuli Jufinba yeni ya nibuoli n sieni kuli ti tuonbiadi n yendi ti.
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;
10 Nani lan diani maama: «Niteginka ji ki ye bá niyendo.»
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 nilobá kuli ki pia yanfuoma. obá ki lingi U Tienu, bikuli bodi, bikuli tua yanpiidanba;
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 Bá niyendo ki ye, ki tiendi yaali n ŋani, bá niyendo.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Bi kodgu tie kakuyaanli. Bi kubi bi lanbu ki pua mi tofaama, bi ñɔgbana gbie yeni ti waalɔbdi.
Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips:
14 Bi ñɔna gbie yeni ti solindi yeni ku tugtongu.
Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Bi taana yua mi sɔma wulma po.
Their feet [are] swift to shed blood:
16 U ŋmanbiidi yeni li yubɔnli n ye bi sanu po.
Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:
17 Bani ki bani mi yanduanma sanu;
And the way of peace have they not known:
18 Bi nuni ki bani U Tienu fangli.
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 To mɔla, ti bani ke yiko ń bili ya ñɔmaama, o bili ma yaaba n cɔlni li yiko po i, ke yuakuli ń fidi ki mubni o ñɔbu, ke ŋanduna kuli ń bandi o biidi U Tienu nintuali.
Now we know that what things soever 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.
20 Kelima, obá kuli kan fidi ki maadi ki faabi o bá U Tienu nintuali ki dugni o cɔlni yiko ń bili yaali. Kelima yiko n cedi ke o nilo bandi ti biidi.
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.
21 Ama, mɔlane, yiko baba ka; U Tienu go dɔgdi o mɔmɔni ke bi bandi, ke yiko yeni bi sawalpuaba tieni kasiedi.
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 U Tienu saa i mɔmɔni yaaba n dugi Jesu Kiritu po ki pia li dandanli. Paadma bá kuli ji ki ye.
Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 Kelima yuakuli tieni ti tuonbiidi kaa ji dagdi yeni U Tienu kpiagdi.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Ama U Tienu ŋanbli po, ke bi faabi ba Jesu Kiritu daafaabma sanu po.
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Kelima U Tienu bo tuodi ki lugdi wani Jesu Kiristu, ke o ba tua ti candandi yaaba n dugi o sɔma po, ki fidi ki waani o teginma, kelima, yogu bá, o bo ŋa kaa buni ki cuo bi niba bi tuonbiadi po, ke wan waani o juunli.
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;
26 ki waani o teginma mɔlane, ke bi niba ń bandi ke o teginma po, o ba faabi yua n dugi Jesu Kiristu po.
To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Be ya po i, ke o nisaalo baa kpiagdi o yuli? Laa tuo. Ti laa yikodi i? A tuoŋana yikodi bii? N n, ti dudugdi yikodi po.
Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Kelima ti maali ke o nisaalo ba mi faabima ti dudugdi po i, ama yiko cɔlindi tuona po ka.
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Bii U Tienu tie Jufinba tienu baba i? Waa tie bi nilanba mo ya tienu yo oo? Nn o tie bi nilanba mo ya tienu.
[Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Kelima tienyendu baba n ye, ki ba faabi yaaba n kua ku kɔnciagu yeni yaaba n ki kua ku kɔnciagu.
Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Ti ji fanbi yiko, ki ŋua ti dudugdi yoo? Kalam! Ti dɔgdi ki waani yiko ń pia ya mayuli i.
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
