Barome 5
1 Yango wana, lokola tokomi bato ya sembo na nzela ya kondima, tozali na kimia elongo na Nzambe na nzela ya Nkolo na biso, Yesu-Klisto
Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us be at peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 oyo na nzela na Ye, tozwi ndingisa, na nzela ya kondima, ya kozwa ngolu oyo kati na yango tozali kowumela mpe tozali komikumisa kati na elikya ete tokobika nkembo ya Nzambe.
For through him we also have access by faith to this grace, in which we stand firm, and to glory, in the hope of the glory of the sons of God.
3 Tozali mpe komikumisa kati na pasi, pamba te toyebi ete pasi ebotaka koyika mpiko,
And not only that, but we also find glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation exercises patience,
4 koyika mpiko ememaka elonga kati na komekama, mpe elonga kati na komekama ebotaka elikya.
and patience leads to proving, yet truly proving leads to hope,
5 Nzokande, elikya ekosaka te, pamba te Nzambe asopaki bolingo na Ye kati na mitema na biso na nzela ya Molimo Mosantu oyo Ye Nzambe apesaki biso.
but hope is not unfounded, because the love of God is poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 Solo, wana tozalaki nanu bato na bolembu, Klisto akufaki mpo na bato ya masumu, na tango oyo Nzambe abongisaki.
Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious?
7 Ezali pasi komona moto kondima kokufa mpo na moto ya sembo; tango mosusu, moto akoki kondima kokufa mpo na moto ya malamu.
Now someone might barely be willing to die for the sake of justice, for example, perhaps someone might dare to die for the sake of a good man.
8 Kasi tala ndenge nini Nzambe alakisi biso bolingo na Ye: wana tozalaki nanu bato ya masumu, Klisto akufelaki biso.
But God demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time,
9 Lokola tokomi sik’oyo bato ya sembo na nzela ya makila na Ye, Klisto akobikisa biso mpe na kanda ya Nzambe.
Christ died for us. Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him.
10 Solo, wana tozalaki nanu banguna ya Nzambe, Ye moko Nzambe azongisaki boyokani na biso elongo na Ye na nzela ya kufa ya Mwana na Ye. Boye lokola azongisi boyokani yango, akobikisa biso mpe na nzela ya bomoi ya mwana na Ye.
For if we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, while we were still enemies, all the more so, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11 Yango kaka te! Tozali mpe komikumisa kati na Nzambe na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, oyo azongisi boyokani na biso elongo na Nzambe.
And not only that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 Yango wana, ndenge lisumu ekotaki na mokili na nzela ya moto moko, mpe kufa na nzela ya lisumu, ndenge wana mpe kufa ekangaki bato nyonso na nzela ya lisumu, pamba te bato nyonso basalaki masumu.
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into this world, and through sin, death; so also death was transferred to all men, to all who have sinned.
13 Solo, liboso ete Nzambe apesa Mobeko, lisumu ezalaki kati na mokili, kasi lisumu ekoki kotangama te soki Mobeko ezali te.
For even before the law, sin was in the world, but sin was not imputed while the law did not exist.
14 Nzokande, wuta na tango ya Adamu kino na tango ya Moyize, kufa ezalaki na bokonzi ata epai ya bato oyo basalaki masumu te, na lolenge ya Adamu oyo abukaki mobeko mpe azali elilingi ya moto oyo asengelaki koya.
Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses, even in those who have not sinned, in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.
15 Kasi ezali na bokeseni monene kati na likabo ya ofele ya Nzambe mpe lisumu! Pamba te soki lisumu ya moto moko ememelaki bato ebele kufa, ngolu ya Nzambe mpe likabo ya ofele oyo eyaki na nzela ya ngolu ya moto moko, Yesu-Klisto, efulukaki meke mpo na bato ebele.
But the gift is not entirely like the offense. For though by the offense of one, many died, yet much more so, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, has the grace and gift of God abounded to many.
16 Likabo ya Nzambe ezali na motuya makasi koleka mabe ya lisumu ya moto moko: likolo ya lisumu moko, kosambisama eyei mpe ememi etumbu; kasi likolo ya masumu ebele, likabo ya ngolu eyei mpe elongoli etumbu.
And the sin through one is not entirely like the gift. For certainly, the judgment of one was unto condemnation, but the grace toward many offenses is unto justification.
17 Pamba te soki na nzela ya mabe ya moto moko, kufa ezwaki bokonzi likolo ya moto wana se moko, ndenge nini bato oyo bazwaka bomengo ya ngolu ya Nzambe mpe likabo ya bosembo bazala na bokonzi te kati na bomoi na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto Ye moko!
For though, by the one offense, death reigned through one, yet so much more so shall those who receive an abundance of grace, both of the gift and of justice, reign in life through the one Jesus Christ.
18 Na mokuse, ndenge mabe ya moto moko ememelaki bato nyonso etumbu, ndenge wana mpe mosala ya moto moko mpo na kokokisa bosembo ememeli bato nyonso bonsomi mpe bomoi.
Therefore, just as through the offense of one, all men fell under condemnation, so also through the justice of one, all men fall under justification unto life.
19 Pamba te ndenge kozanga botosi ya moto moko ekomisaki bato ebele bato ya masumu, ndenge wana mpe botosi ya moto moko ekomisi bato ebele bato ya sembo.
For, just as through the disobedience of one man, many were established as sinners, so also through the obedience of one man, many shall be established as just.
20 Mobeko eyaki mpo ete lisumu ebotana. Kasi epai lisumu ebotanaki, ngolu efulukaki koleka
Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant.
21 mpo ete, ndenge lisumu elakisaki bokonzi na yango na nzela ya kufa, ngolu mpe elakisa bokonzi na yango na nzela ya bosembo mpo na komema na bomoi ya seko na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso. (aiōnios g166)
So then, just as sin has reigned unto death, so also may grace reign through justice unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
