Warumi 3
1 Pwu Myahudi ikhava khehi? Ukhukhekhetiwa khwikhava khehii?
What, then, [is] the superiority of the Jew? Or what the profit of the circumcision?
2 Lononu fincho khela njela. Khuvwutengulilo, avayahudi vapevilwe ulovonekhelo ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve.
Much in every way; for first, indeed, that 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?
for what, if certain were faithless? Will their faithlessness make the faithfulness of God useless?
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.
Let it not be! And let God become true, and every man false, according as it has been written: “That You may be declared righteous in Your words, and may overcome in Your being 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.
And if our unrighteousness establishes God’s righteousness, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (I speak after the manner of a man.)
6 Ate! ndakhekhi u Nguluve umuyakhiva ikhikhekhega ekhilunga?
Let it not be! Since how will God judge the world?
7 Engave lweli ya Nguluve ukhugendela uvwodesi vwango ikhumia ulwiginio khu mwene, khekhi nipi khegiwa ndu ntula nongwa?
For if the truth of God in my falsehood abounded more to His glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?
8 Khekhi tunchove ndu vovya tudeteliwa na avange vikhwedekhana ukhuta twinchova, “Tuvombe imbivi, pwu ginche amananu? Uvukhegi khuvene vwa yelweli.
And not, as we are spoken evil of, and as certain affirm us to say, “We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?” Whose judgment is righteous.
9 Khenu khehi? Ukhwetetela yofwe? Losikhuli, ulwa khuva ufwe tuvadetile avayahudi na Wayunani voni paninie, ukhuta vale pasi pa mbivi.
What, then? Are we better? Not at all! For we charged before both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin,
10 Ele ndavovwalesimbiwe: Asikhiwi uvayelweli, nu uve aliyumo.
according as it has been written: “There is none righteous, not even one;
11 Asikhuli umunu yuywa ikhweliwa. Asikhuli umunu uveikhondonda u Nguluve.
there is none who is understanding, there is none who is seeking after God.
12 Voni vasyetwikhe, voni paninie wakhosinche ulwedekhano. Asikhuli uveivomba inonu na aleomo.
All went out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even 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; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of cobras [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 misery [are] in their ways.
17 Avanu ava savayemanyile enjela ya lweli.
And a way of peace they did not know.
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.
And we have known that as many things as the Law says, to those in the Law it speaks, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment 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.
for this reason by works of law will no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.
21 Ulwa khuva leno bila lulagelo, elweli ya Nguluve yemanyikhikhe, yavonikhe khululagelo lwa vanya malango.
And now apart from law the righteousness of God has been revealed, testified to by the Law and the Prophets,
22 Eye yu lweli ya Nguluve ukhugendela elweli eya Yesu klisite khuvavo vikhumwedekha.
and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and on all those believing—for there is no difference,
23 Ulwa khuva voni vavombile imbivi nu khuva nu uvuvalanche vudebe uvwa Nguluve.
for 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 declared righteous 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 set forth [as] a propitiatory covering, through faith in His blood, for the showing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the former sins in the forbearance of God—
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.
for the showing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous 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 was excluded; by what law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith:
28 Pwu tumalela ukhuta umunu ivaleliwa elweli khu luhungu hetavomba imbombo incha lulagilo.
therefore we reckon a man to be declared righteous 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.
[Is He] only the God of Jews, and not also of nations?
30 Yengave ya lweli u Nguluve aleyomo, alavavalela elweli avakhekhetiwe huluhungu, na vavo savakhekhetiwe khu njila eya luhungu.
Yes, also of nations; since [there is] one God who will declare righteous circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Pwu ufwe tukhulwandula ululagilo lwa luhungu, ate ufwe tukhulwedekha ululagilo.
Do we then make law useless through faith? Let it not be! Indeed, we establish law.
