Ndị Rom 5
1 Ya mere, ebe e sitere nʼokwukwe mee ka anyị bụrụ ndị a gụrụ dịka ndị ezi omume, udo dị ugbu a nʼetiti anyị na Chineke site nʼOnyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
Standing then acquitted as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 Onye anyị sitere nʼaka ya nata amara nke anyị na-eguzo nʼime ya ugbu a. Anyị nọ nʼọṅụ nweekwa olileanya na a ga-eme ka anyị keta oke nʼebube Chineke.
through whom also, as the result of faith, we have obtained an introduction into that state of favour with God in which we stand, and we exult in hope of some day sharing in God's glory.
3 Ọ bụkwaghị naanị nke a, ma anyị na-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ nʼime nsogbu anyị niile, ebe anyị maara na nsogbu ndị a na-enyere anyị aka ịbụ ndị nwere ntachiobi.
And not only so: we also exult in our sufferings, knowing as we do, that suffering produces fortitude;
4 Ntachiobi na-arụpụta nʼime anyị ezi agwa; ezi agwa na-arụpụtakwa olileanya.
fortitude, ripeness of character; and ripeness of character, hope;
5 Olileanya na-eme ka anyị guzo chịm, nʼihi na Chineke awụnyela ịhụnanya ya nʼime obi anyị site nʼonyinye Mmụọ Nsọ.
and that this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 Mgbe ahụ anyị na-enweghị ike ọbụla, mgbe oge ahụ ruru nnọọ, Kraịst bịara nwụọ ọnwụ nʼihi anyị bụ ndị mmehie.
For already, while we were still helpless, Christ at the right moment died for the ungodly.
7 A sịkwarị na anyị bụ ndị ezi omume ọ gaara abụ ihe siri ike mmadụ ịbịa nwụọ ọnwụ nʼihi anyị. Ma eleghị anya, a ga-ahụkwa onye nwere ike nwụọ nʼihi ezi mmadụ.
Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.
8 Ma lee ka ịhụnanya Chineke siri pụta ìhè! Mgbe anyị ka nọrịị na-eme mmehie, Kraịst nwụrụ nʼihi anyị.
But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.
9 Ebe a gụrụ anyị dịka ndị ezi omume site nʼọbara ya, nke karịrị nke a, a ga-esitekwa na ya zọpụta anyị site nʼọnụma Chineke.
If therefore we have now been pronounced free from guilt through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's anger through Him.
10 Nʼihi na, ọ bụrụ na mgbe anyị bụ ndị iro Chineke, e mere ka anyị na ya dị nʼudo site nʼọnwụ Ọkpara ya, nke karịrị nke a bụ, ebe ọ bụ na anyị na ya dịzi na mma, anyị ga-enweta nzọpụta site na ndụ ya.
For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through Christ's life.
11 Ọ bụkwaghị naanị nke a, kama anyị na-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ nʼime Chineke site na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, onye anyị sitere na ya nata ịdị na mma a ugbu a.
And not only so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that reconciliation.
12 Dịka o siri dị, ọ bụ site nʼaka otu nwoke ka mmehie siri bata nʼụwa. Ọ bụkwa mmehie a wetara ọnwụ. Ugbu a, ọnwụ erutela onye ọbụla aka nʼihi na mmadụ niile emehiela.
What follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn, in that all sinned.
13 Ma tupu e nye iwu, mmehie dị nʼụwa. Ma a dịghị agụkọta mmehie mgbe iwu na-adịghị.
For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it is not entered in the account against us when no Law exists.
14 Ma e mere ka ọnwụ rute onye ọbụla site nʼoge Adam ruo nʼoge Mosis. O metụtara ọ bụladị ndị mmehie ha na-adịghị ka nke Adam, onye bụ ihe atụ nke onye ahụ gaje ịbịa.
Yet Death reigned as king from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned, as Adam did, against Law. And in Adam we have a type of Him whose coming was still future.
15 Ma onyinye a adịghị ka njehie ya. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ọtụtụ nwụrụ site na mmehie nke otu mmadụ, lee ka o siri bụrụ ihe dị ukwu karịa na amara Chineke na onyinye amara sitere nʼotu onye bụ Jisọs Kraịst ga-ababiga ụba oke rute ọtụtụ mmadụ.
But God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression. For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace which found expression in the one man Jesus Christ, have been bestowed on the mass of mankind.
16 Ọzọ, onyinye a adịghị ka ihe mmehie mmadụ mụpụtara. Nʼihi na ikpe ahụ sooro mmehie otu onye weta ọmụma ikpe, ma onyinye ahụ sooro ọtụtụ njehie weta ịgụ mmadụ nʼonye ikpe na-amaghị.
And it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.
17 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ọnwụ chịrị ọchịchị site na njehie nke otu onye, ọ bụghị ihe dị ukwu karịa na ndị nabatara onyinye amara Chineke bara ụba, ya na onyinye ezi omume, ga-achị achị na ndụ site nʼotu onye ahụ bụ Jisọs Kraịst.
For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, Jesus Christ.
18 Ya mere, dịka otu njehie si weta ikpe ọmụma nye mmadụ niile, otu ahụ kwa ka e si gụọ mmadụ niile dịka ndị ezi omume na ndị nwere ndụ site nʼotu ọrụ ezi omume.
It follows then that just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation which extends to the whole race, so also the result of a single decree of righteousness is a life-giving acquittal which extends to the whole race.
19 Nʼihi na dịka ọtụtụ mmadụ si bụrụ ndị mmehie nʼihi nnupu isi nke otu nwoke, otu a kwa ka ọtụtụ mmadụ ga-abụkwa ndị ezi omume nʼihi nrube isi nke otu nwoke.
For as through the disobedience of the one individual the mass of mankind were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the mass of mankind will be constituted righteous.
20 Iwu bịara mee ka mmehie na-aba ụba, ma dịka mmehie na-aba ụba, amara na-abakwa ụba karịa.
Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed;
21 Ya mere, dịka mmehie si bụrụ eze nʼọnwụ, otu a kwa ka amara ga-esi bụrụ eze site nʼezi omume iweta ndụ ebighị ebi site nʼaka Jisọs Kraịst, Onyenwe anyị. (aiōnios g166)
in order that as sin has exercised kingly sway in inflicting death, so grace, too, may exercise kingly sway in bestowing a righteousness which results in the Life of the Ages through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
