Roma Yaaba 3
1 Roma yaaba pia be ke li cie ya nibuoli n sieni, ku kɔnciagu ñuadi tie be?
What then is the excellence of the Jihudoya, and what the profit of circumcision?
2 Lan tieni maama kuli, li mɔni boncianla kelima, U Tienu kpia ki mubni bani i, o ñɔmaama.
Much in every thing: primarily that they had intrusted (to them) the words of Aloha.
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 if some of them believed not, would their unbelief abolish the faithfulness of Aloha?
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.»
Not so: for Aloha is true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be just in thy words, And triumph when they judge thee.
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 iniquity the righteousness of Aloha establisheth, what shall we say? Is Aloha evil, who bringeth his wrath? As a man do I speak.
6 yeni ka! U Tienu ya ki tiegi o ba bu ŋanduna ledi i?
Not so; otherwise how shall Aloha 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 Aloha is promoted by my lie unto his glory, why then am I 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.
Or why, as certain blaspheme concerning us, affirming that we say, Let us do evil, that good may come? they, whose condemnation is reserved by justice.
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, have we attained excellence? (No.) For before we decided of the Jihudoyee and of the Aramoyee that they are all under sin;
10 Nani lan diani maama: «Niteginka ji ki ye bá niyendo.»
as it is written, None is righteous, not one.
11 nilobá kuli ki pia yanfuoma. obá ki lingi U Tienu, bikuli bodi, bikuli tua yanpiidanba;
None understandeth or seeketh Aloha.
12 Bá niyendo ki ye, ki tiendi yaali n ŋani, bá niyendo.
All have declined together and are reprobate, And there is none that doeth good, not one.
13 Bi kodgu tie kakuyaanli. Bi kubi bi lanbu ki pua mi tofaama, bi ñɔgbana gbie yeni ti waalɔbdi.
Open sepulchres are their throats, Their tongues have deceived, And the venom of asps is under their lips.
14 Bi ñɔna gbie yeni ti solindi yeni ku tugtongu.
Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness,
15 Bi taana yua mi sɔma wulma po.
And their feet are swift to shed blood.
16 U ŋmanbiidi yeni li yubɔnli n ye bi sanu po.
Crushing and misery are in their ways;
17 Bani ki bani mi yanduanma sanu;
And the way of peace they have not known;
18 Bi nuni ki bani U Tienu fangli.
And the fear of Aloha is not 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.
BUT we know that whatever the law saith, to them who are under the law it saith: that every mouth may be shut, and all the world be guilty unto Aloha.
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.
Because by the works of the law no flesh is justified before him; for from the law sin is known.
21 Ama, mɔlane, yiko baba ka; U Tienu go dɔgdi o mɔmɔni ke bi bandi, ke yiko yeni bi sawalpuaba tieni kasiedi.
But now, without the law the righteousness of Aloha is revealed, and the law and the prophets (themselves) testify of it.
22 U Tienu saa i mɔmɔni yaaba n dugi Jesu Kiritu po ki pia li dandanli. Paadma bá kuli ji ki ye.
But the righteousness of Aloha is by faith of Jeshu Meshiha, unto all and also upon all who believe in him. For there is no distinction:
23 Kelima yuakuli tieni ti tuonbiidi kaa ji dagdi yeni U Tienu kpiagdi.
for all have sinned, and have failed of the glory of Aloha;
24 Ama U Tienu ŋanbli po, ke bi faabi ba Jesu Kiritu daafaabma sanu po.
and all are justified by grace freely, and (that) through the redemption which is in Jeshu Meshiha,
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 Aloha before ordained (to be) a propitiation through faith in his blood for our sins which from the first we had sinned, within the space which Aloha hath given to us in his patience,
26 ki waani o teginma mɔlane, ke bi niba ń bandi ke o teginma po, o ba faabi yua n dugi Jesu Kiristu po.
unto the manifestation of his righteousness which (is) in this time: that he might be just, and might justify in righteousness him who is in the faith of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
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, then, is boasting? It is abolished. By what law? of works? No, 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.
We comprehend, therefore, that by faith man is justified, and not by the works 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 Aloha of the Jihudoyee only, and not 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.
Because one is Aloha, who justifieth the circumcision by faith, also the uncircumcision by the same faith.
31 Ti ji fanbi yiko, ki ŋua ti dudugdi yoo? Kalam! Ti dɔgdi ki waani yiko ń pia ya mayuli i.
Do we therefore the law abolish by faith? Not so, but the law itself we establish.
