Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
Mete ma taꞌo naa, dadꞌi atahori Yahudi nenesunat, na, hahambun sa? Mbei ma ama duꞌa mae, atahori Yahudi ra hambu naeꞌ ma maloleꞌ lenaꞌ, mia atahori nda Yahudi ra sa, to?
2 Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
Tebꞌe! Dadꞌi atahori Yahudi, hambu hahambuꞌ sia dalaꞌ naeꞌ. Kaesan, huu Lamatualain fee ue-taos neu atahori Yahudi fo suraꞌ ma ranea maꞌabebesa Eni Dedꞌea-oꞌolan.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
De taꞌo bee? Mbei ma hei duꞌa mae, Lamatuaꞌ nda bisa tao tungga oꞌolan sa, huu atahori Yahudi ruma nda ramahere E sa, do?
4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.”
Nda bisa sa! Te mae basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia mana peko-lelekoꞌ o, Lamatuaꞌ mesaꞌ ne olaꞌ no ndoo-tetuꞌ nakandooꞌ a! Misinedꞌa, te hambu nenesuraꞌ soꞌal Lamatua sia Susura Meumareꞌ a oi, “Hambu atahori mbia salaꞌ oi, Ana nda naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeꞌat ra no ndoo-tetuꞌ sa. Te dei fo ara bubꞌuluꞌ rae, saa fo Ana olaꞌ naa, memaꞌ tebꞌe. Dei fo Ana nasenggiꞌ, huu Ana nda bisa olaꞌ sala sa.”
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
Te mete ma hita tao salaꞌ, ma salaꞌ naa natudꞌu meu-meu neu basa atahori oi, saa fo Lamatuaꞌ taoꞌ naa, memaꞌ tebꞌe. Mete ma taꞌo naa, na hita tae saa fai? Tae Lamatuaꞌ nda ndoo-tetuꞌ sa, mete ma Ana huku-doki hita, do? (Huu hambu atahori ruma olaꞌ taꞌo naa.)
6 May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
Nda bisa sa! Lamatuaꞌ huku-doki hita o nda sala sa. Huu naꞌena hak fo huku-doki atahori mana tao salaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Naa! Mete ma au lelekoꞌ, naa natudꞌu nae, Lamatuaꞌ huku-dokin naa, ndaa. Mete ma au utudꞌu manaselin taꞌo naa, na, saa de Ana paresaꞌ masodꞌa ngga, ma naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeꞌat ngga nae, saa fo au taoꞌ naa sala?
8 Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
Afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Mete ma mae tungga dudꞌuꞌat onaꞌ naa, hei tungga atahori mana rae, “Hela fo ata tao deꞌulakaꞌ naen seli, naa fo maloleꞌ a o boe namanae!” Atahori mana olaꞌ taꞌo naa, nandaa hambu huku-dokiꞌ. Te hambu atahori ruma olaꞌ ralutu nara ngga oi, au unori atahori taꞌo naa.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
Dadꞌi taꞌo bee? Hei duꞌa mae hita atahori Yahudi ra maloleꞌ lenaꞌ atahori nda Yahudi ra sa, do? Nda bisa taꞌo naa sa! Te au utudꞌu hei ena ae, basa atahori tudꞌa salaꞌ, mae eni atahori Yahudi, do atahori nda Yahudi sa.
10 As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
Huu nenesuraꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren oi, “Nda hambu atahori esa sa boe nasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ nakandooꞌ a sa, Nda esa sa boe!
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
Nda hambu atahori esa sa boe nahine tebꞌe soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ. Nda hambu esa sangga nae nahine Lamatuaꞌ sa.
12 They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
Basa se lao dinggoꞌ hela dala masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ a. Ma, ara nda dadꞌi papakeꞌ sa ena. Nda hambu atahori esa sa boe natudꞌu rala maloleꞌ sa. Nda esa sa boe!
13 “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
Dedꞌea-oꞌola nara, maꞌafo mburu, onaꞌ rates fo atahori ali baliꞌ. Bafa nara rahineꞌ a olaꞌ peko-lelekoꞌ. Dedꞌea-oꞌola mana kalua mia bafa nara, ona mengge a rason.
14 “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
Bafa nara rahineꞌ a rarai-oole atahori, ma olaꞌ raꞌamuti fo tao atahori rala nara mera, te naa mana kalua mia rala deꞌulaka nara.
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Ara nda ramatau tao risa atahori sa.
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
Ara bee reu, na, hiiꞌ a ramue-raanggi sia naa, ma tao sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ neu atahori.
17 The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
Ara rasodꞌa nda rahine mole-dꞌame sa, ma nda rahine rasodꞌa nee-nee lino-lino sa.
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Ara nda raꞌatataaꞌ rala ao nara sa, huu nda ramatau Lamatuaꞌ mbei sa boe.”
19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
Naa! Hita tahine tae, Lamatuaꞌ fee Hohoro-lalanen neu atahori mana tungga neu Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra. No taꞌo naa, ara nda hambu totoꞌu-nonoet saa-saa sa ena boe. Dei fo basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia, musi reu randaa ro Lamatualain fo Ana naꞌetu dedꞌea nara nae, ara sala, do hokoꞌ.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Naa de, nda hambu atahori esa sa boe bisa olaꞌ nae, “Lamatuaꞌ cap nae, au atahori rala ndoos, huu au tao tungga basa Hohoro-lalanen.” Nda bisa taꞌo naa sa! Huu Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen natudꞌu oi, basa hita tao salaꞌ.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
Afiꞌ bingun soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ dudꞌuꞌan mana natudꞌu dalaꞌ fo hita malolole baliꞌ to E. Matetun, hita bisa malolole to E, te ndaa huu hita tao tungga Hohoro-lalanen sa. Huu nenesuraꞌ sia hohoro-lalanen taꞌo naa, ma mana ola-ola dalahulu nara rafadꞌe taꞌo naa sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
Lamatualain nae hita atahori rala ndoos ma maloleꞌ to Eni leleꞌ hita tamahere neu Yesus Kristus. Ana nda mete mataꞌ sa, te ana tao taꞌo naa neu basa atahori mana ramahere neu Yesus Kristus.
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Huu basa atahori tao salaꞌ. Naa de atahori mana sobꞌa-sobꞌa tao aon maloleꞌ no Lamatuaꞌ, nda bisa tao matetuꞌ tungga Lamatuaꞌ atoran manaselin sa.
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Mae taꞌo naa o, Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen, ma naꞌetuꞌ nae, hita nda sala sa ena. Ana simbo nala hita onaꞌ naa, huu Yesus Kristus tefa-soi nala hita mia sala-kilu tara ena.
25 whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
Lamatualain dudꞌu nala Yesus dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ fo tatana mamaet ma tefa-soi hita sala nara. Te hita musi tamahere E tae, Ana simbo huku-doki tara. De Ana fee raan nandali, ma mate nggati hita. No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain natudꞌu nae, saa fo Eni naꞌetuꞌ naa, tebꞌe. Dalahulun, Eni naꞌatataaꞌ seli ena, de naeꞌtuꞌ fo liliiꞌ hendi sala-salaꞌ fo atahori tao mia dalahulun. Te Ana musi hukun atahori masalaꞌ ra, mete ma hokoꞌ, na Eni nda ndoo-tetuꞌ sa. Dadꞌi Ana soi dalaꞌ fo Yesus Kristus lemba-doi hita atahori masalaꞌ ra huku-doki tara. Ia naa, Ana natudꞌu neu basa atahori nae, Eni tao maloleꞌ nakandooꞌ a. Boe ma, basa atahori masalaꞌ, mana ramahere neu Yesus, Ana naꞌetuꞌ fo cap se onaꞌ atahori rala ndoos.
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
De taꞌo bee? Mbei ma hei duꞌa mae hei bisa olaꞌ naeꞌ, huu Lamatuaꞌ simbo nggi ena, do? Nda bisa sa! Nau netudꞌu Hohoro-lalaneꞌ saa mana tao nggi maloleꞌ mo Lamatuaꞌ, do? Neꞌo hei mae Lamatuaꞌ simbo nggi huu ama tao dala maloleꞌ, do? Nda bisa sa! Hai bisa mitudꞌuꞌ a Hohoro-lalaneꞌ mana oi, Lamatualain simbo nala nggita, huu tamahere neu Yesus. Akaꞌ naa ena!
28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Naa de ia naa hita tahine taꞌo ia ena: atahori bisa maloleꞌ ro Lamatuaꞌ huu ramahere E, te nda huu akaꞌ sira tao tungga Eni Hohoro-lalanen sa.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Naa, au ae utane taꞌo ia: Lamatualain simbo akaꞌ atahori Yahudi ra do, Ana simbo atahori feaꞌ ra boe? Tebꞌe! Ana simbo basa se!
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
Huu Lamatualain naa, esaꞌ a. Ma akaꞌ dalaꞌ esa fo Ana simbo, fo hita atahori bisa maloleꞌ to E. Naeni, huu tamahere neu Kristus. Dalaꞌ naa, fee neu atahori Yahudi ma atahori nda Yahudi ra sa boe.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
Dadꞌi au ae utane taꞌo ia: mete ma tamahere neu Lamatuaꞌ, naa nemopoꞌ hendi Hohoro-lalanen, do? Hokoꞌ! Matetun, naa tao natetu Hohoro-lalanen.
