Warumi 3
1 Pwu Myahudi ikhava khehi? Ukhukhekhetiwa khwikhava khehii?
So what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the profit of circumcision?
2 Lononu fincho khela njela. Khuvwutengulilo, avayahudi vapevilwe ulovonekhelo ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve.
Much in every way! First of all, because they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
3 Pwu yayiva ndeti ingave Avayahudi avange valevovole ulwedekho? ukhu sitakhwedekha khwavene khukhokhovekha uvugolofu wa Nguluve ukhuva vovivi?
So, what if some did not believe? Their unbelief will not nullify God's faithfulness, will it?
4 Ate padebe, ulwa khuva, nndekhe Nguluve avonekhe ukhuta va yelweli, ndayeve khela munu nn'desi. Ingave umuyasimbiwe, “Ukhuta pwu uvonekhe ukhuva ulevayelweli mu mamenyu gaakho, ukhulotelela vwuvukhwingela pa vukhegi.
Of course not! Rather, let God be found true, but every man a liar; just as it is written: “That you may be justified in your words, and may overcome when you are judged.”
5 Engave imbivi nchetu nchivonesya elweli eya Nguluve, pwu tute khekhi? uNguluve si mbivi vwu ikhumya elyoyo lya mwene khukhuta ale evo? Ninchova ukhukhumana na lweli yavwu munu.
Now if our unrighteousness highlights God's righteousness, what shall we say? God is not unrighteous for inflicting His wrath, is He? (I speak as a man.)
6 Ate! ndakhekhi u Nguluve umuyakhiva ikhikhekhega ekhilunga?
Of course not! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?
7 Engave lweli ya Nguluve ukhugendela uvwodesi vwango ikhumia ulwiginio khu mwene, khekhi nipi khegiwa ndu ntula nongwa?
Still, if the truth of God abounded to His glory by my falsehood, just why am I still judged as a sinner?
8 Khekhi tunchove ndu vovya tudeteliwa na avange vikhwedekhana ukhuta twinchova, “Tuvombe imbivi, pwu ginche amananu? Uvukhegi khuvene vwa yelweli.
However, we must not say, “Let us do evil so that good may come” (as some people slanderously claim that we do)—their condemnation is well deserved!
9 Khenu khehi? Ukhwetetela yofwe? Losikhuli, ulwa khuva ufwe tuvadetile avayahudi na Wayunani voni paninie, ukhuta vale pasi pa mbivi.
What then? Are we any better? Not at all! For we have already charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
10 Ele ndavovwalesimbiwe: Asikhiwi uvayelweli, nu uve aliyumo.
Just as it is written: “No one is righteous, not even one;
11 Asikhuli umunu yuywa ikhweliwa. Asikhuli umunu uveikhondonda u Nguluve.
there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
12 Voni vasyetwikhe, voni paninie wakhosinche ulwedekhano. Asikhuli uveivomba inonu na aleomo.
All have turned aside, together they have been made useless; there is no one who shows kindness, no, not so much as one.”
13 Emisingo gya vene vuguli uvole mwanchi. Indimi incha vene nchidetile, ugoda gwa njokha guli pasi mumilomo gya vene.
“Their throat is an opened grave; they habitually deceive with their tongues.” “Viper's venom is under their lips”;
14 Emilomo gya vene gedekhile ulukhoto nu luvavo.
“whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 Amalunde ga vene ginyilela ukhududa ukhisa.
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Uvunangi nu vukhuvilwa filimnjila ncha vene.
ruin and wretchedness are in their paths,
17 Avanu ava savayemanyile enjela ya lweli.
and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 Lusimuli uludwado lwa Nguluve pa mikho gavo.”
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Leno tulumanyile ukhuta khyokyoni ekhenchoviwa nu lulagelo, khinchova khuvavo valepasi palulagilo pwu khela ndomo gudendiwe, pwu ekhelunga khyoni khendondage u Nguluve.
Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world become accountable to God.
20 Ulwa khuva gusipali umbeli uguyakheva guvaleliwa vwa yelweli khu mbombo ncha lulagelo khu mwene. Ulwa khuva ukhugendela mu lukhwincha ulukhala lwa mbivi.
It follows that no flesh will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because through the law comes the real knowledge of sin.
21 Ulwa khuva leno bila lulagelo, elweli ya Nguluve yemanyikhikhe, yavonikhe khululagelo lwa vanya malango.
But now, apart from law, a righteousness from God has been revealed, being attested by the Law and the Prophets,
22 Eye yu lweli ya Nguluve ukhugendela elweli eya Yesu klisite khuvavo vikhumwedekha.
namely, a righteousness from God through faith in Jesus Christ, into all and upon all those who believe. There is no difference:
23 Ulwa khuva voni vavombile imbivi nu khuva nu uvuvalanche vudebe uvwa Nguluve.
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 Vavaleliwe uvwayelweli vulevule khu lukhungu lwa mwene khu njila iya vupokhi vuvwa vule mwa Klisite Yesu.
being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
25 Ulwa khuva u Nguluve ang'ominche u Klisite Yesu ave lusayano khu njila ya yelweli mu nkhisa gwa mwene. Ang'ominshe Klisite ndu ntangeli va yelweli eya mwene, ukhunchisye khela inongwa inchilutile.
whom God has openly made available as a propitiation through the faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness because of the passing over, in God's forbearance, of the previously committed sins;
26 Pa khwiyumilincha pamwene aga gone gakhumile pwu elweli ya mwene yevonekhe khu misekhe ege. Eye yale pwu ivonesye uvwa yelweli vwa mwene, pwu livonekhe ukhuta ikhombalela umunu alavenchaga elweli mwa Klisite.
to demonstrate His righteousness at this present time, so as to be just, Himself, and the justifier of him who is of the Faith of Jesus.
27 Pwu khulindakhu ukhwiginia? khulekhekhine khu mbombo ilekhu? Ulutu lwa mbombo? Ate, ulutu lwa yelweli.
Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law, that of works? No, but by a law of faith.
28 Pwu tumalela ukhuta umunu ivaleliwa elweli khu luhungu hetavomba imbombo incha lulagilo.
Therefore we conclude that a person is justified by faith apart from works of law.
29 Tute uNguluve avile Nguluve va Wayahudi vene? Umwene savile Nguluve va vanu va khilunga khyoni? Eena va khilunga khyoni.
Or is God for Jews only? Is He not also for Gentiles? Yes, also for Gentiles,
30 Yengave ya lweli u Nguluve aleyomo, alavavalela elweli avakhekhetiwe huluhungu, na vavo savakhekhetiwe khu njila eya luhungu.
since indeed there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through the Faith.
31 Pwu ufwe tukhulwandula ululagilo lwa luhungu, ate ufwe tukhulwedekha ululagilo.
Do we then nullify law through the Faith? Of course not! Rather, we uphold law.
