Roma 3
1 Ha, he aha ra te painga i hua ki te Hurai? he aha te rawa o te kotinga?
What preferment then hath the Iewe? other what a vauntageth circumcision?
2 He nui ra i nga mea katoa: Ko te tuatahi, kua akona ratou ki nga kupu a te Atua.
Surely very moche. Fyrst vnto them was committed the worde of God
3 Ka pehea, mehemea kahore he whakapono o etahi? e taka ranei to te Atua pono i to ratou whakaponokore?
What then though some of them did not beleve? shall their vnbeleve make the promes of god with out effecte?
4 Kahore rapea: engari ko te Atua kia kitea he pono, ko nga tangata katoa he teka kau; ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia, Kia tika ai tau i tau korerotanga, kia puta ai tau ina whakawakia koe.
God forbid. Let god be true and all men lyars as it is written: That thou myghtest be iustifyed in thy sayinge and shuldest overcome when thou arte iudged.
5 Ha, ki te mea na to tatou he i kitea nuitia ai to te Atua tika, me pehea he kupu ma tatou? E he ana ranei te Atua i a ia e whakapa ana i te riri? he kupu tangata tenei naku:
Yf oure vnrightewesnes make the rightewesnes of God more excellent: what shall we saye? Is God vnrighteous which taketh vengeauce? I speake after the maner of me.
6 Kahore rapea: penei me pehea te Atua e whakawa ai i te ao?
God forbid. For how then shall God iudge the worlde?
7 Na ki te mea na toku teka i hira rawa ai to te Atua pono hei kororia mona; he aha ahau i whakahengia tonutia ai ano hei tangata hara?
Yf the veritie of God appere moare excellent thorow my lye vnto his prayse why am I hence forth iudged as a synner?
8 He aha hoki te penei ai, a ko te kupu whakapae teka tenei mo matou, a ki ta etahi ko ta matou kupu tenei, Tatou ka mahi i te kino, kia puta ai he pai? tika tonu te tau o te he ki a ratou.
and saye not rather (as men evyll speake of vs and as some affirme that we saye) let vs do evyll that good maye come therof. Whose damnacion is iuste.
9 He aha koia? he pai ake ranei to matou wahi i to ratou? Kahore ra hoki: kua oti hoki te whakapa e matou i mua he he ki nga Hurai, ki nga Kariki, kei raro katoa ratou i te hara;
What saye we then? Are we better then they? No in no wyse. For we have all ready proved how that both Iewes and Gentils are all vnder synne
10 Ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia, Kahore he tangata tika, kahore kia kotahi:
as it is writte: There is none righteous no not one:
11 Kahore he tangata e matau ana, kahore he tangata e rapu ana i te Atua;
There is none that vnderstondith there is none yt seketh after God
12 Kua peka ke ratou katoa, kua kino ngatahi: kahore he tangata e mahi ana i te pai, kahore rawa kia kotahi.
they are all gone out of ye waye they are all made vnprofytable ther is none that doeth good no not one.
13 He urupa puare noa to ratou korokoro; e patipati ana o ratou arero; kei roto i o ratou ngutu te wai whakamate o nga nakahi:
Their throte is an open sepulchre with their tounges they have disceaved: the poyson of Aspes is vnder their lippes.
14 Ki tonu o ratou mangai i te kanga, i te nanakia:
Whose mouthes are full of coursynge and bitternes.
15 Ko o ratou waewae, hohoro tonu ki te whakaheke toto:
Their fete are swyfte to sheed bloud.
16 He whakangaro, he ngakau pouri, kei o ratou ara:
Destruccion and wretchednes are in their wayes.
17 Kahore hoki ratou i mohio ki te ara o te rangimarie:
And the waye of peace they have not knowen.
18 Kahore he wehi o te Atua i mua i o ratou kanohi.
There is no feare of God before their eyes.
19 Na, e matau ana tatou ki nga kupu o te ture, e korero ana ki te hunga i te ture, kia kopia ai nga mangai katoa, kia whakawakia ai te ao katoa e te Atua.
Ye and we knowe that whatsoever ye lawe sayth he sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped and all the worlde be subdued to god
20 No te mea kahore he mahi o te ture e tika ai tetahi kikokiko i tona aroaro: ma roto mai i te ture te matauranga ki te hara.
because that by ye dedes of the lawe shall no flesshe be iustified in the sight of God. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of synne.
21 Otiia kua whakakitea inaianei he tika a te Atua, motu ke i te ture, he mea whakaatu na te ture, na nga poropiti;
Now verely is ye rigtewesnes that cometh of God declared without the fulfillinge of ye lawe havinge witnes yet of ye lawe and of the Prophetes.
22 Ara ko te tika a te Atua e na runga mai ana i te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti ki te hunga katoa e whakapono ana: kahore hoki he pokanga ketanga:
The rightewesnes no dout which is good before God cometh by ye fayth of Iesus Christ vnto all and vpon all that beleve. Ther is no differece:
23 Kua hara katoa hoki, a kahore e taea e ratou te kororia o te Atua;
for all have synned and lacke the prayse yt is of valoure before God:
24 He mea whakatika utukore na tona aroha noa, i runga i ta Karaiti Ihu hokonga:
but are iustified frely by his grace through the redemcion that is in Christ Iesu
25 Ko ia hoki ta te Atua i whakaari ai hei whakamarie, i runga i te whakapono, he mea na ona toto; kia whakakitea ai tona tika, i te mea ka whakapahemotia atu nga hara o mua, he mea hoki na te manawanui o te Atua;
whom God hath made a seate of mercy thorow faith in his bloud to shewe ye rightewesnes which before him is of valoure in yt he forgeveth ye synnes yt are passed which God dyd suffre
26 Hei whakakite i tona tika i tenei wa nei ano: he mea kia tika ai ia ano, me te kaiwhakatika i te tangata e whakapono ana ki a Ihu.
to shewe at this tyme ye rightewesnes yt is alowed of him yt he myght be couted iuste and a iustifiar of him which belevith on Iesus.
27 Na, kei hea te whakamanamana? Kua araia atu. E tehea ritenga ture? e to nga mahi? Kahore: engari e te ture o te whakapono.
Where is then thy reioysinge? It is excluded. By what lawe? by ye lawe of workes? Naye: but by the lawe of fayth.
28 Koia matou ka mea ai, kei te whakapono he tika mo te tangata, motu ke i nga mahi o te ture.
For we suppose that a man is iustified by fayth without the dedes of ye lawe.
29 Ko te Atua oti te Atua o nga Hurai anake? ehara ranei ia i te Atua o nga tauiwi hoki? Ae ra, o nga tauiwi ano hoki:
Is he the God of the Iewes only? Is he not also the God of the Gentyls? Yes eve of the Gentyles also.
30 Ki te mea ia he kotahi te Atua, a mana e whakatika te kotinga i runga i te whakapono, me te kotingakore ina whakapono.
For it is God only which iustifieth circumcision which is of fayth and vncircumcision thorow fayth.
31 E taka ranei te ture i ta matou, ara i te whakapono? Kahore rapea: engari na ta matou i u ai te ture.
Do we then destroye the lawe thorow fayth? God forbid. But we rather mayntayne the lawe.
