Warumi 5
1 Sasa, kwa vile tumekubaliwa kuwa wadilifu kwa imani, basi, tunayo amani na Mungu kwa ajili ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah;
2 Kwa imani yetu, yeye ametuleta katika hali hii ya neema ya Mungu ambamo sasa tunaishi. Basi, tunajivunia tumaini tulilo nalo la kushiriki utukufu wa Mungu.
through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 Naam, si hayo tu, bali tunafurahi pia katika taabu tukijua kwamba taabu huleta saburi,
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;
4 nayo saburi huleta uthabiti, na uthabiti huleta tumaini.
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:
5 Tumaini hilo haliwezi kutuhadaa, maana Mungu amekwisha miminia mioyoni mwetu upendo wake kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu aliyetujalia.
and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 Tulipokuwa bado wanyonge, Kristo, wakati ulipotimia, alikufa kwa ajili yetu sisi waovu.
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Messiah died for the ungodly.
7 Si rahisi mtu kufa kwa ajili ya mtu mwadilifu; labda mtu anaweza kuthubutu kufa kwa ajili ya mtu mwema.
For rarely does one die for the righteous. Yet perhaps for a good person someone might dare to die.
8 Lakini Mungu amethibitisha kwamba anatupenda, maana wakati tulipokuwa bado wenye dhambi, Kristo alikufa kwa ajili yetu.
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us.
9 Kwa kuwa sasa tumekubaliwa kuwa waadilifu kwa damu ya Kristo, ni dhahiri zaidi kwamba atatuokoa katika ghadhabu ya Mungu.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.
10 Maana, tulipokuwa bado adui zake, Mungu alitupatanisha naye kwa kifo cha Mwanae. Na kwa vile sasa tumepatanishwa naye, ni dhahiri zaidi kwamba tutaokolewa kwa uzima wa Kristo.
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 Wala si hayo tu, ila tunafurahi pia katika Mungu kwa njia ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo ambaye ametupatanisha na Mungu.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Kwa njia ya mtu mmoja dhambi iliingia ulimwenguni, nayo ikasababisha kifo. Hivyo kifo kimeenea katika jumuiya yote ya binadamu, kwa maana wote wametenda dhambi.
Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all people, because all sinned.
13 Kabla ya Sheria kuwako, dhambi ilikuwako ulimwenguni; lakini dhambi haiwekwi katika kumbukumbu bila sheria.
For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
14 Lakini tangu wakati wa Adamu mpaka wakati wa Mose, kifo kiliwatawala hata wale ambao hawakutenda dhambi kama ile ya Adamu, ya kumwasi Mungu. Adamu alikuwa kielelezo cha yule ambaye atakuja baadaye.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren't like Adam's disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
15 Lakini ipo tofauti: neema ya Mungu si kama dhambi ya Adamu. Maana, ingawa dhambi ya mtu mmoja ilisababisha kifo kwa wote, kwa fadhili ya mtu mmoja, yaani Yesu Kristo, Mungu amewazidishia wote neema na zawadi zake.
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 (the) Messiah, abound to the many.
16 Kuna tofauti baina ya zawadi ya Mungu, na dhambi ya mtu yule mmoja. Maana, baada ya kosa la mtu mmoja, Mungu alitoa hukumu; lakini baada ya makosa ya watu wengi, Mungu aliwapa zawadi yake kwa kuwasamehe.
The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.
17 Kweli, kwa dhambi ya mtu mmoja kifo kilianza kutawala kwa sababu ya huyo mtu mmoja; lakini, ni dhahiri zaidi kwamba alichokifanya yule mtu mmoja, yaani Yesu Kristo, ni bora zaidi. Wote wanaopokea neema na zawadi hiyo ya kukubaliwa kuwa waadilifu, watatawala katika uzima kwa njia ya huyo mmoja, yaani Yesu Kristo.
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 (the) Messiah.
18 Basi, kama vile kosa la mtu mmoja lilivyoleta hukumu kwa binadamu wote, kadhalika kitendo kimoja kiadilifu kinawapa uhuru na uzima.
So then as through one trespass, all people were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all people were justified to life.
19 Na kama kwa kutotii kwa mtu mmoja watu wengi walifanywa wenye dhambi, kadhalika kutii kwa mtu mmoja kutawafanya wengi wakubaliwe kuwa waadilifu.
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 Sheria ilitokea, ikasababisha kuongezeka kwa uhalifu; lakini pale dhambi ilipoongezeka, neema iliongezeka zaidi.
The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;
21 Kama vile dhambi ilivyotawala kwa kifo, kadhalika neema inatawala kwa njia ya uadilifu, na kuleta uzima wa milele kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo Bwana wetu. (aiōnios g166)
that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life through Jesus (the) Messiah our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
