KwabaseRoma 5
1 Ngakho sesilungisisiwe ngokholo, silokuthula kuNkulunkulu ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2 okungaye njalo silokungena ngokholo kulumusa esimi kuwo, sizincoma ethembeni lobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu.
through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 Kakusikho lokhu-ke kuphela, kodwa sizincoma langezinhlupheko, sisazi ukuthi ukuhlupheka kuveza ukubekezela,
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4 lokubekezela ukuqina, lokuqina ithemba;
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
5 lethemba kalidanisi, ngoba uthando lukaNkulunkulu lutheliwe enhliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele esimuphiweyo.
and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 Ngoba sisebuthakathaka, ngesikhathi esifaneleyo uKristu wafela abeyisa uNkulunkulu.
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Ngoba kunzima ukuthi umuntu afele olungileyo; kodwa mhlawumbe kungaba khona ngitsho olesibindi sokufela olungileyo.
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8 Kodwa uNkulunkulu uqinisa uthando lwakhe uqobo kithi, ukuthi uKristu wasifela siseyizoni.
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Ngakho kakhulu-ke, lokhu sesilungisisiwe khathesi ngegazi lakhe, sizasindiswa ngaye elakeni.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
10 Ngoba uba, lapho siseyizitha, sesibuyisene loNkulunkulu ngokufa kweNdodana yakhe, ikakhulu lokhu sesibuyisene sizasindiswa ngempilo yayo;
For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
11 njalo kakusikho lokhu kuphela, kodwa sizincoma futhi kuNkulunkulu ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, esesemukele ngaye ukubuyisana.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Ngakho, njengalokhu ngamuntu munye isono sangena emhlabeni, langesono ukufa, ngokunjalo ukufa kwedlulela kubo bonke abantu, ngoba bonke bonile;
Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.
13 ngoba kuze kufike umlayo isono sasikhona emhlabeni; kodwa isono kasibalelwa, ungekho umlayo,
For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
14 kanti ukufa kwabusa kusukela kuAdamu kusiya kuMozisi, laphezu kwalabo ababengonanga okufanana lokweqa kukaAdamu, ongumfanekiso wakhe obezakuza.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins were not like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
15 Kodwa kungenjengesiphambeko, sinjalo lesipho somusa. Ngoba uba ngesiphambeko soyedwa abanengi bafa, ikakhulu kwanda kwabanengi umusa kaNkulunkulu, lesipho ngomusa womuntu munye, uJesu Kristu.
But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
16 Futhi isipho kasinjengoyedwa owonayo; ngoba isigwebo sasingesisodwa ngasekulahlweni, kodwa isipho somusa ngeseziphambeko ezinengi ngasekulungisisweni.
The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
17 Ngoba uba ngesiphambeko somuntu oyedwa ukufa kwabusa ngalowo oyedwa, ikakhulu bona abemukela ubunengi bomusa lobesipho sokulunga bazabusa empilweni ngalowo oyedwa, uJesu Kristu.
For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
18 Ngakho njengoba ngesiphambeko soyedwa isigwebo saba kubo bonke abantu ukuya ekulahlweni, ngokunjalo langokulunga koyedwa umusa weza kubo bonke abantu ukuya ekulungisisweni kwempilo.
So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
19 Ngoba njengoba ngokungalaleli komuntu munye abanengi benziwa izoni, ngokunjalo langokulalela koyedwa abanengi bazakwenziwa abalungileyo.
For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
20 Phezu kwalokho umlayo wangena, ukuze isiphambeko sande; kodwa lapho okwanda isono khona, umusa wanda kakhulukazi;
The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
