< Loma 5 >
1 Ko ia ʻi he fakatonuhiaʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe he tui, ʻoku tau melino ai mo e ʻOtua ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi:
Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 ʻAia ʻoku tau maʻu ai foki ʻae hūʻanga ʻi he tui ki he monūʻia ni ʻoku tau tuʻu ai, pea fiefia ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei ki he hakeakiʻi mei he ʻOtua.
through whom also we have the access by faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.
3 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ngata ai, ka ʻoku tau vikiviki ʻi he ngaahi mamahi foki: ʻi heʻetau ʻilo ʻoku tupu mei he mamahi ʻae faʻa kātaki;
And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works endurance;
4 Pea mei he faʻa kātaki, ʻae ʻilo; pea mei he ʻilo, ʻae ʻamanaki lelei:
and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;
5 Pea ʻoku ʻikai fakamā ʻe he ʻamanaki lelei; he koeʻuhi kuo lilingi ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ki hotau loto ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate kitautolu.
and the hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God has been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
6 He naʻe lolotonga ʻetau vaivai ʻaupito, pea pekia ʻa Kalaisi ʻi he kuonga tuʻutuʻumālie koeʻuhi ko e taʻelotu.
For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time died for the impious;
7 ʻE meimei ʻikai ʻaupito [fie ]mate ha tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e tangata angatonu [pē]: ka ʻe faʻa fai ʻapē ke mate ha tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e tangata angalelei.
for scarcely for a righteous man will anyone die, for the good man perhaps someone also dares to die;
8 Ka ʻoku fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua ʻene ʻofa kiate kitautolu ʻi he meʻa ni, lolotonga ko e kau angahala ʻakitautolu, ne pekia ʻa Kalaisi maʻatautolu.
and God commends His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ died for us;
9 Pea ka ko ia, pea ʻe ʻāsili ʻae fakamoʻui ʻokitautolu mei he houhau ʻiate ia, he kuo fakatonuhiaʻi ʻakitautolu ʻi hono taʻataʻa.
much more, then, having been declared righteous now in His blood, we will be saved through Him from the wrath;
10 He kapau ne fakalelei ʻakitautolu ki he ʻOtua ʻi he pekia ʻa hono ʻAlo, ka ko e ngaahi fili ʻakitautolu, pea tā ʻe ʻāsili hotau fakamoʻui ʻi heʻene moʻui, he kuo tau fakalelei.
for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved in His life.
11 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ngata ai, ka ʻoku tau fiefia foki ʻi he ʻOtua ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo tau maʻu ai ʻae fakalelei.
And not only [so], but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now received the reconciliation;
12 Pea ko ia, ʻo hangē naʻe hoko mai ʻae angahala ki māmani, mo e mate mei he angahala, ʻi he tangata pe taha; pea naʻe pehē ʻae hoko ʻoe mate ki he kakai kotoa pē, he kuo angahala kotoa pē:
because of this, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin—death; and thus to all men death passed through, for that all sinned;
13 (He naʻe ʻi he māmani ʻae angahala ʻo aʻu ki he fono: ka ʻoku ʻikai lau ʻae angahala ʻi he ʻikai ha fono.
for until law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;
14 Ka naʻe pule ʻae mate meia ʻAtama ʻo aʻu kia Mōsese, kiate kinautolu foki naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻo fakatatau ki he fai hala ʻa ʻAtama, ʻaia ko e fakatātā ʻo ia ʻe haʻu ʻamui.
but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even on those having not sinned in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a type of Him who is coming.
15 Ka ʻoku ʻikai ke fai tatau ʻae fai hala mo e foaki ʻofa. He kapau kuo mate ʻae tokolahi ʻi he fai hala ʻae tokotaha, [pehē], kuo aʻu ʻo lahi hake ʻaupito ki he tokolahi ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, mo e foaki ʻi he ʻofa, ʻi he tangata pe taha, ko Sisu Kalaisi.
But not as the offense so also [is] the free gift; for if by the offense of the one the many died, much more the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;
16 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ke fai tatau ʻae fai angahala ʻoe tokotaha pe, mo e foaki ʻofa; he ko e meʻa ʻi he [angahala ]pe taha naʻe fakamaau ai ke malaʻia, ka ko e foaki ʻofa ko e fakatonuhia ia mei he ngaahi angahala lahi.
and not as through one who sinned [is] the free gift, for the judgment indeed [is] of one to condemnation, but the gift [is] of many offenses to a declaration of “Righteous,”
17 He kapau ʻoku pule ʻae mate mei he tokotaha, ko e meʻa ʻi he fai angahala ʻae tokotaha; [pehē], ʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae pule ʻi he moʻui ʻekinautolu ʻoku maʻu hono lahi ʻaupito ʻoe ʻofa mo e foaki ʻoe fakatonuhia ʻi he tokotaha, ko Sisu Kalaisi.)
for if by the offense of the one death reigned through the one, much more those who are receiving the abundance of grace and of the free gift of righteousness, in life will reign through the one—Jesus Christ.
18 Pea ko eni, ʻo hangē kuo hoko ʻi he angahala ʻae tokotaha ʻae fakamalaʻia ki he kakai kotoa pē: pea pehē foki, ko e meʻa ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻae tokotaha kuo hoko ʻae fakatonuhia ʻoe moʻui ki he kakai kotoa pē.
So, then, as through one offense to all men [it is] to condemnation, so also through one declaration of “Righteous” [it is] to all men to justification of life;
19 Koeʻuhi ʻo hangē naʻe fakahalaia ʻae tokolahi ʻi he talangataʻa ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha, pehē, ko e meʻa ʻi he talangofua ʻae tokotaha ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae tokolahi.
for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the One, will the many be constituted righteous.
20 Ka naʻe fakahū mai ʻae fono, pe tupulekina pe ʻae angahala. Ka ko ia naʻe tupulekina ai ʻae angahala, kuo lahi ʻaupito ai hono tupulekina ʻoe ʻofa:
And law came in, that the offense might abound, and where sin abounded, grace hyper-abounded,
21 Koeʻuhi ke hangē ko e pule ʻae angahala ʻo aʻu ki he mate, ke pehē ʻae pule ʻoe ʻofa ʻi he fakatonuhia ʻo aʻu ki he moʻui taʻengata ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. (aiōnios )
that even as sin reigned in death, so also grace may reign, through righteousness, to continuous life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
