Romafo 5
1 Afei a ɛnam gyidi so ama Onyankopɔn abu yɛn bem no, yɛnam Awurade Yesu Kristo so anya Onyankopɔn asomdwoe.
Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 Ɔnam gyidi so de yɛn aba Onyankopɔn adom a yɛte mu mprempren no mu. Yɛn ani gye wɔ anidaso mu sɛ yebenya Onyankopɔn anim anuonyam.
through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 Ɛnyɛ ɛno nko, na mmom, yɛwɔ yɛn haw mu anuonyam nso, efisɛ yenim sɛ ɔhaw de boasetɔ ba,
And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also; because we know that affliction produces patience,
4 na boasetɔ de osuahu ba, na osuahu nso de anidaso ba.
and patience, an approved character, and an approved character, hope;
5 Saa anidaso yi renni yɛn nhuammɔ, efisɛ Onyankopɔn nam Honhom Kronkron a ɛyɛ nʼakyɛde a ɔde ama yɛn no so ahwie ne dɔ agu yɛn koma mu.
and this hope disappoints us not; because the love of God is poured abundantly into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that is given to us.
6 Bere a ɛsɛ mu, bere a yɛyɛ mmerɛw no, Kristo wu maa amumɔyɛfo.
For when we were yet without strength, at the appointed time, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Na ɛbɛyɛ den sɛ obi bewu ama nea ɔyɛ onipa trenee mpo, na nea ɔyɛ onipa pa no de, ebia obi besi ne bo awu ama no.
For hardly, indeed, will one die for a just man; yet, perhaps, for the good man some one would even dare to die.
8 Nanso Onyankopɔn da ne dɔ adi wɔ eyi mu sɛ, bere a yɛyɛ nnebɔneyɛfo no, Kristo wu maa yɛn.
But God makes known his love to us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us:
9 Esiane sɛ wɔnam ne mogya no so abu yɛn bem no nti, wɔnam ne so begye yɛn afi Onyankopɔn abufuwhyew mu.
much more, then, since we are now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him.
10 Na sɛ bere a yɛyɛ atamfo mpo Onyankopɔn de ne Ba no wu yɛɛ mpatade maa yɛn a, saa mmere yi a yɛne Onyankopɔn wɔ ayɔnkofa yi de, yenim sɛ ɔnam ne Ba no so begye yɛn nkwa.
For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11 Ɛnyɛ eyi nko, mmom yɛnam Awurade Yesu Kristo a ne mu na yɛanya mpata no so hoahoa yɛn ho wɔ Onyankopɔn mu.
And not only so, but we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Bɔne nam onipa baako so na ɛbaa wiase, na ne bɔne no de owu bae. Ɛno nti owu trɛw baa nnipa nyinaa so, efisɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛɛ bɔne.
For this reason, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by his sin, death; and so death passed through to all men, because all have sinned:
13 Na bɔne wɔ hɔ ansa na wɔde mmara no reba. Nanso mmara nni hɔ a, wommu bɔne ho akontaa.
for till the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged where there is no law.
14 Nanso efi Adam bere so kosi Mose bere so no, owu dii nnipa nyinaa so kosii wɔn mpo a wɔanyɛ bɔne so, sɛnea Adam de, ɔyɛɛ asoɔden kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn no. Ɔkwan bi so no, Adam yɛ Kristo, nea na ɔrebɛba no, sɛso.
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is the type of him that was to come.
15 Nanso wɔn baanu no nyinaa nyɛ pɛ, efisɛ Onyankopɔn akyɛde a ɔde kyɛ kwa no nte sɛ Adam bɔne no. Ɛyɛ nokware sɛ esiane saa onipa baako no bɔne nti, nnipa pii wuwui. Nanso Onyankopɔn adom no dɔɔso; ɛno nti na ɔnam onipa baako a ɔne Yesu Kristo adom so dom bebree kwa no.
But the favor bestowed is not, in all respects, like the offense: for if, by the offense of one, the many have died, much more have the grace of God and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, been made abundant for the many.
16 Bio, Onyankopɔn akyɛde no nte sɛ nsunsuanso a efi onipa baako bɔne mu bae no. Atemmu no nam bɔne baako so de afobu bae, nanso bɔne bebree akyi no, akyɛde no de bembu bae.
And the gift is not like the sentence that came through one who sinned: for the sentence to condemnation was because of one offense; but the favor bestowed in order to justification, is because of many offenses.
17 Sɛ ɛnam onipa baako bɔne so na owu dii hene a, ɛno de wɔn a wonya adom mmoroso ne trenee akyɛde no nam onipa baako a ɔne Yesu Kristo so bedi hene wɔ nkwa mu.
For if, by one man’s offense, death has reigned through that one, much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the one, who is Jesus Christ.
18 Enti sɛnea onipa baako pɛ bɔne a ɔyɛe no ma wobuu nnipa nyinaa fɔ no, saa ara nso na trenee nneyɛe baako ma wobuu nnipa nyinaa bem, ma yenyaa nkwa.
Therefore, as, by one offense, sentence came on all men to condemnation, so, also, by one act of righteousness, the gift has come on all men to justification of life.
19 Na sɛnea ɛnam ɔbaakofo asoɔden so nti nnipa nyinaa yɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfo no, saa ara nso na onipa baako setie nti wɔbɛyɛ bebree atreneefo.
For as by the disobedience of the one man the many have been made sinners, so, also, by the obedience of the one, the many shall be made righteous.
20 Wɔyɛɛ mmara no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a bɔne bɛda adi pefee; nanso mpɛn dodow a bɔne dɔɔso no, adom no dɔɔso mmoroso,
But, besides the first offense, law was introduced, in order that offenses might abound: but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 enti sɛnea bɔne di nnipa so de wɔn kɔ owu mu no, saa ara na adom no nam trenee so de daa nkwa a ɛwɔ Yesu Kristo, yɛn Awurade mu bɛba no. (aiōnios g166)
that as sin has reigned, ending in death, so might grace reign by justification, ending in life eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
