Romafoɔ 5
1 Afei a ɛnam gyidie so ama Onyankopɔn abu yɛn bem no, yɛnam Awurade Yesu Kristo so anya Onyankopɔn asomdwoeɛ.
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2 Ɔnam gyidie so de yɛn aba Onyankopɔn adom a yɛte mu seesei no mu. Yɛn ani gye wɔ anidasoɔ mu sɛ yɛbɛnya Onyankopɔn anim animuonyam.
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 Afei, yɛn haw mu nso, yɛn ani gye, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛnim sɛ ɔhaw de boasetɔ ba,
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;
4 na boasetɔ de osuahunu ba, ɛnna osuahunu de anidasoɔ ba.
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:
5 Saa anidasoɔ yi renni yɛn hwammɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn nam Honhom Kronkron a ɛyɛ nʼakyɛdeɛ a ɔde ama yɛn no so ahwie ne dɔ agu yɛn akoma mu.
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 Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu, ɛberɛ a yɛyɛ mmerɛ no, Kristo wu maa amumuyɛfoɔ.
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Na ɛbɛyɛ den sɛ obi bɛwu ama deɛ ɔyɛ onipa tenenee mpo, na deɛ ɔyɛ onipa pa no deɛ, ebia obi bɛsi ne bo awu ama no.
For rarely does one die for the righteous. Yet perhaps for a good person someone might dare to die.
8 Nanso, Onyankopɔn da ne dɔ adi wɔ yei mu sɛ; ɛberɛ a yɛyɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ no, Kristo wu maa yɛn.
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Esiane sɛ wɔnam ne mogya no so abu yɛn bem no enti, wɔnam ne so bɛgye yɛn afiri Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ mu.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.
10 Na sɛ ɛberɛ a yɛyɛ atamfoɔ mpo Onyankopɔn de ne Ba no wuo yɛɛ mpatadeɛ maa yɛn a, saa mmerɛ yi a yɛne Onyankopɔn wɔ ayɔnkofa yi deɛ, yɛnim sɛ ɔnam ne Ba no so bɛgye yɛn nkwa.
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 Ɛnyɛ yei nko, mmom yɛnam AWURADE Yesu Kristo a ne mu na yɛanya mpata no gye yɛn ani wɔ Onyankopɔn mu.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Bɔne nam onipa baako so na ɛbaa ewiase, na ne bɔne no de owuo baeɛ. Ɛno enti owuo trɛ baa nnipa nyinaa so, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn nyinaa yɛɛ bɔne.
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 Na bɔne wɔ hɔ ansa na wɔde Mmara no reba. Nanso, mmara nni hɔ a, wɔmmu bɔne ho akonta.
For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
14 Nanso, ɛfiri Adam ɛberɛ so kɔsi Mose ɛberɛ so no, owuo dii nnipa nyinaa so kɔsii wɔn mpo a wɔanyɛ bɔne, sɛdeɛ Adam deɛ ɔyɛɛ asoɔden kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn no. Ɛkwan bi so no, Adam yɛ Kristo, deɛ na ɔrebɛba no, sɛso.
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 Nanso, wɔn baanu no nyinaa nyɛ pɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ a ɔde kyɛ kwa no nte sɛ Adam bɔne no. Ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ ɛsiane saa onipa baako no bɔne enti nnipa pii wuwuiɛ. Nanso, Onyankopɔn adom no dɔɔso; ɛno enti na ɔnam onipa baako a ɔne Yesu Kristo adom so dom bebree kwa no.
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 Christ, abound to the many.
16 Bio, Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ no nte sɛ nsunsuansoɔ a ɛfiri onipa baako bɔne mu baeɛ no. Atemmuo no nam bɔne baako so de afɔbuo baeɛ, nanso bɔne bebree akyi no, akyɛdeɛ no de bembuo baeɛ.
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 Sɛ ɛnam onipa baako bɔne so ɛna owuo dii ɔhene a, ɛnneɛ wɔn a wɔnya adom mmorosoɔ ne tenenee akyɛdeɛ no nam onipa baako a ɔne Yesu Kristo so bɛdi hene wɔ nkwa mu.
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 Christ.
18 Enti sɛdeɛ onipa baako pɛ bɔne a ɔyɛeɛ no ma wɔbuu nnipa nyinaa fɔ no, saa ara nso na tenenee adeyɛ baako maa wɔbuu nnipa nyinaa bem, na yɛnyaa nkwa.
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 sɛdeɛ ɛnam ɔbaakofoɔ asoɔden so enti nnipa nyinaa yɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ no, saa ara nso na onipa baako setie enti, wɔbɛyɛ bebree teneneefoɔ.
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 Wɔyɛɛ mmara no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a bɔne bɛda adi pefee; nanso mpɛn dodoɔ a bɔne dɔɔso no, adom no dɔɔso mmoroso,
The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;
