Warumi 5
1 Kwa kuwa tumehesabiwa haki kwa njia ya imani, tuna amani na Mungu kwa njia ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Kupitia yeye sisi pia tuna fursa kwa njia ya imani katika neema hii ambayo ndani yake tunasimama. Tunafurahi katika ujasiri atupao Mungu kwa ajili ya baadaye, ujasiri ambao tutashiriki katika utukufu wa Mungu.
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 Siyo hili tu, lakini pia tunafurahi katika mateso yetu. Tunajua kwamba mateso huzaa uvumilivu.
And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 Uvumilivu huzaa kukubalika, na kukubalika huzaa ujasiri kwa ajili ya baadaye.
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 Ujasiri huu haukatishi tamaa, kwa sababu upendo wa Mungu umemwagwa katika mioyo yetu kupitia Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye alitolewa kwetu.
And hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.
6 Kwa tulipokuwa tungali tu dhaifu, kwa wakati muafaka Kristo alikufa kwa ajili ya waovu.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Kwa kuwa itakuwa vigumu mmoja kufa kwa ajili ya mtu mwenye haki. Hii ni kwamba, pengine mtu angethubutu kufa kwa ajili ya mtu mwema.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 Lakini Mungu amehakikisha upendo wake mwenyewe kwetu, kwa sababu wakati tulipokuwa tungali wenye dhambi, Kristo alikufa kwa ajili yetu.
But God commendeth his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Kisha zaidi ya yote, sasa kwa kuwa tumehesabiwa haki kwa damu yake, tutaokolewa kwa hiyo kutoka katika gadhabu ya Mungu.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 Kwa kuwa, ikiwa wakati tulipokuwa maadui, tulipatanishwa na Mungu kwa njia ya kifo cha mwanae, zaidi sana, baada ya kuwa tumekwisha patanishwa, tutaokolewa kwa maisha yake.
For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 Siyo hivi tu, bali pia tunafurahi katika Mungu kupitia Bwana Yesu Kristo, kupitia yeye ambaye sasa tumepokea upatanisho huu.
And not only [so], but we also joy in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Kwa hiyo basi, kama kupitia mtu mmoja dhambi iliingia duniani, kwa njia hii kifo kiliingia kwa njia ya dhambi. Na kifo kikasambaa kwa watu wote, kwa sababu wote walifanya dhambi.
Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
13 Kwa kuwa hadi sheria, dhambi ilikuwa duniani, lakini dhambi haihesabiki wakati hakuna sheria.
For until the law, sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Hata hivyo, kifo kilitawala kutoka Adamu hadi Musa, hata juu ya wale ambao hawakufanya dhambi kama kutotii kwa Adamu, ambaye ni mfano wa yeye ambaye angekuja.
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 Lakini hata hivyo, zawadi ya bure si kama kosa. Kwa kuwa ikiwa kwa kosa la mmoja wengi walikufa, zaidi sana neema ya Mungu na zawadi kwa neema ya mtu mmoja, Yesu Kristo, imezidi kuongezeka kwa wengi.
But not as the offense, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offense of one many are dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded to many.
16 Kwa kuwa zawadi si kama matokeo ya yule ambaye alifanya dhambi. Kwa kuwa kwa upande mwingine, hukumu ya adhabu ilikuja kwa sababu ya kosa la mtu mmoja. Lakini kwa upande mwingine, kipawa cha bure kinachotoka katika kuhesabiwa haki kilikuja baada ya makosa mengi.
And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift. For the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offenses to justification.
17 Kwa maana, ikiwa kwa kosa la mmoja, kifo kilitawala kupitia mmoja, zaidi sana wale ambao watapokea neema nyingi pamoja na kipawa cha haki watatawala kupitia maisha ya mmoja, Yesu Kristo.
For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
18 Hivyo basi, kama kupitia kosa moja watu wote walikuja kwenye hukumu, ingawa kupitia tendo moja la haki kulikuja kuhesabiwa haki ya maisha kwa watu wote.
Therefore, as by the offense of one, [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men to justification of life.
19 Kwa kuwa kama kupitia kutotii kwa mtu mmoja wengi walifanywa wenye dhambi, hivyo kupitia utii wa mmoja wengi watafanywa wenye haki.
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Lakini sheria iliingia pamoja, ili kwamba kosa liweze kuenea. Lakini mahali ambapo dhambi ilizidi kuwa nyingi, neema iliongezeka hata zaidi.
Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 Hii ilitokea ili kwamba, kama dhambi ilivyotawala katika kifo, ndivyo hata neema inaweza kutawala kupitia haki kwa ajili ya maisha ya milele kupitia Yesu Kristo Bwana wetu. (aiōnios g166)
That as sin hath reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
