KwabaseRoma 5
1 Ngakho sesilungisisiwe ngokholo, silokuthula kuNkulunkulu ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,
Therefore being accepted as righteous through 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 also we have had admission into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory which God will confer.
3 Kakusikho lokhu-ke kuphela, kodwa sizincoma langezinhlupheko, sisazi ukuthi ukuhlupheka kuveza ukubekezela,
And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also, knowing that affliction produceth endurance,
4 lokubekezela ukuqina, lokuqina ithemba;
and endurance proof [[of faith]], and proof [[of faith giveth]] hope;
5 lethemba kalidanisi, ngoba uthando lukaNkulunkulu lutheliwe enhliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele esimuphiweyo.
and hope will not disappoint us; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which hath been given to us.
6 Ngoba sisebuthakathaka, ngesikhathi esifaneleyo uKristu wafela abeyisa uNkulunkulu.
For while we were yet without strength, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Ngoba kunzima ukuthi umuntu afele olungileyo; kodwa mhlawumbe kungaba khona ngitsho olesibindi sokufela olungileyo.
Now hardly for a righteous man will one die; perhaps, however, for a benefactor one might even dare to die.
8 Kodwa uNkulunkulu uqinisa uthando lwakhe uqobo kithi, ukuthi uKristu wasifela siseyizoni.
But God commendeth his 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 accepted as righteous through his blood, we shall be saved through him from the [[coming]] wrath.
10 Ngoba uba, lapho siseyizitha, sesibuyisene loNkulunkulu ngokufa kweNdodana yakhe, ikakhulu lokhu sesibuyisene sizasindiswa ngempilo yayo;
For if while enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled shall we be saved by his life;
11 njalo kakusikho lokhu kuphela, kodwa sizincoma futhi kuNkulunkulu ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, esesemukele ngaye ukubuyisana.
and not this only, but also having joy 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;
So then as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and thus [[death]] came through unto all men, because all sinned—
13 ngoba kuze kufike umlayo isono sasikhona emhlabeni; kodwa isono kasibalelwa, ungekho umlayo,
(for all the time before the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not set to one's account when there is no law.
14 kanti ukufa kwabusa kusukela kuAdamu kusiya kuMozisi, laphezu kwalabo ababengonanga okufanana lokweqa kukaAdamu, ongumfanekiso wakhe obezakuza.
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the manner in which Adam transgressed; who is a type 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 was not as the transgression. For if through the offence of the one the many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abounded to the many.
16 Futhi isipho kasinjengoyedwa owonayo; ngoba isigwebo sasingesisodwa ngasekulahlweni, kodwa isipho somusa ngeseziphambeko ezinengi ngasekulungisisweni.
And the free gift is not like what happened through one man who sinned. For sentence of condemnation followed one offence; but the free gift is a justification after many offences.
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 one trespass death reigned through the one man, much more will they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man 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.
As then through one trespass all men have come under condemnation, so through one act of righteousness all obtain the gift of righteousness unto life.
19 Ngoba njengoba ngokungalaleli komuntu munye abanengi benziwa izoni, ngokunjalo langokulalela koyedwa abanengi bazakwenziwa abalungileyo.
For as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of the one man will the many be made righteous.
20 Phezu kwalokho umlayo wangena, ukuze isiphambeko sande; kodwa lapho okwanda isono khona, umusa wanda kakhulukazi;
Moreover the law came in in addition, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more;
