Bharumi 3
1 Okumala ni mabhona-ki ganu alinago Omuyaudi? Ka na mabhona go lutendo ni chinuki?
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision?
2 Nijakisi muno mu bhuli njila. Amwi Nejo jone, Abhayaudi bhayanilwe okuswelulilwa okusoka mu Nyamuanga.
Much every way: chiefly, because that to them were committed the oracles of God.
3 Mbe nawe jilibha atiki ka abhandi bha Bhayaudi bhanu bhatalibha na likilisha? Angu bhunyatekilisha bhwebhwe obhukola obhwiikanyibhwa bhwa Nyamuanga kubha kutyo-ela?
For what if some did not believe? will their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4 Uli nakatyali, Kukila ao siga Nyamuanga abhonekane kubha we chimali, nolwo kutyo bhuli munu ni mulimi. Lwa kutyo jandikilwe, “Ati utule okubhonekana kubha mulengelesi mu misango jao, na utule okuiga anu owingila mundamu.”
By no means: verily let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.
5 Mbe nawe bhukabha obhunyamuke bhweswe nibhwelesha obhulengelesi bhwa Nyamuanga, mbe chaikeki? Nyamuanga atali mulangi-langi anu kasosha lisungu lyae, angu alio kutyo? Enaika okulubhana ne misango je chinyamunu.
But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man.)
6 Uli nakatyali! Mbe woli ni kutiki Nyamuanga kajokulamula Echalo?
By no means: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 Mbe nawe echimali cha Nyamuanga chikabha Nichilabha ku lulimi lwani elisoka likusho lyafu ingulu yae, kulwaki nichali nindamulwa lwo webhibhibhi?
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie to his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8 Kulwaki chisige okwaika, lwa kutyo chabheyelesibhwe na lwa kutyo abhandi abhakomelesha ati chaike, “Chikole obhunyamuke, koleleki agekisi gaje”? Indamu ingulu yebhwe niye chimali.
And not [rather] (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9 Mbe woli niki? Echililila eswe abhene? Uli chimwi. Kulwo kubha eswe chelabhile okubhalamula Abhandi na Abhayunani bhona amwi, ati bhali mu chibhibhi.
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 Jinu ni lwa kutyo jandikilwe: “Atalio mulengelesi, nolwo umwi.
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 Atalio omunu unu kasombokelwa. Atalio omunu unu kamuyenja Nyamuanga.
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh God.
12 bhona bhaindukile. Bhenene ku bhona bhatachali na nsonga. Atalio unu kakola agekisi, uli nolwo umwi.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Amamilo gebhwe ni nfwa jinu jili abhwelu. Jindimi jebhwe ejibheya. Obhusungu bhwa jinjoka bhuli munda ye minwa jebhwe.
Their throat [is] an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips:
14 Mu Kanwa kebhwe bhijuye bhifumilisho no bhululu.
Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness.
15 Amagaulu gebhwe ni mangu okwita amanyiga.
Their feet [are] swift to shed blood.
16 Obhunyamuke na jinyako jili mu njila jebhwe.
Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:
17 Abhanu bhanu bhataimenya injila yo mulembe.
And the way of peace have they not known.
18 Obhubha bhwo kumubhaya Nyamuanga bhutalimo imbele ya meso gebhwe.”
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Woli chamenya ati chona chona chinu echilagilo echaika, echaika na bhaliya bhanu bhali emwalo ye chilagilo. Chinu ni ati koleleki bhuli minwa jijibhisibhwe, kwibhyo ni ati Echalo chona chimubhaye Nyamuanga.
Now we know that whatever things 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 Jinu ni kwa insonga ati gutalio mubhili gunu gulibhalilwa obhulengelesi kwe bhikolwa bhye bhilagilo imbele ya meso gae. Kulwo kubha okulabha ku bhilagilo obhuja obhumenyi bhwe chibhibhi.
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 Mbe nawe woli chikabhulao echilagilo, obhulengelesi bhwa Nyamuanga obhumenyekana. Jabhulisibhwe kwe bhilagilo na abhalagi,
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being testified by the law and the prophets;
22 echo ni chimali cha Nyamuanga okulabha mu likilisha mu Yesu Kristo ku bhaliya bhona bhanu abhekilisha. Kulwo kubha bhutalio bhutasikene.
Even the righteousness of God, [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference:
23 Kulwo kubha bhona bhakolele echibhibhi, no kukeelelwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Bhabhaliywe obhulengelesi kutyo-ela kulwe chigongo chae kwa injila yo bhuchungusi bhunu bhuli mu Kristo Yesu.
Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ:
25 Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga amusosishe Kristo Yesu koleleki abhe mugwatanyisha mu njila ye likilisha mu manyiga gae. Amusosishe Kristo uti bhubhambasi bhwo bhulengelesi bhwae, kwa insonga yo kubhisingilila ebhibhibhi bhinu bhyatulile
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 mu kwingumilisha kwae. Ganu gona gabhonekene koleleki okwelesha obhulengelesi bhwae mu mwanya gunu ogwa woli. Jinu jabhee koleleki atule okukumisha mwenene obhulengelesi, no kwelesha ati kamubhalila obhulengelesi omunu wona wona kulwa insonga ye likilisha mu Yesu.
To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.
27 Woli okwikuya kulyaki? kubhelelekelwe. kwo lufukaki? Olufuka lwe bhikolwa? Uli, mbe nawe kwo olufuka lwe likilisha.
Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith.
28 Kwibhyo echimalisha ati omunu kabhalilwa obhulengelesi kwe likilisha atali kulwe ebhikolwa bhye bhilagilo.
Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Amwi Nyamuanga ni Nyamuanga wa Bhayaudi la? Angu mwenene atali Nyamuanga wa bhanu bha Maanga one? Yee, owa Maanga one.
[Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Alabha ni chimali Nyamuanga ni umwi, alibhabhalila obhulengelesi bhanu bhali bho lutendo mu likilisha, na bhanu bhatatendelwe mu njila ye likilisha.
Seeing [it is] one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Angu eswe echiindula echilagilo kwe likilisha? Uli nakatyali! Obhutasikane nago, eswe echichikomelesha echilagilo.
Do we then make void the law through faith? By no means: but we establish the law.
