Roma 3
1 Tutun iyari Ayahudawe na se? iyagnari tutun nmari nbowe?
What special privilege, then, has a Jew? Or what benefit is to be derived from circumcision?
2 imone di gwardan kokome kusari. inchizune, iwayini nin ghnu ipuno ani fiseri Kutelle.
The privilege is great from every point of view. First of all, because the Jews were entrusted with God's truth.
3 Andi among Ayahudawa di sa uyinu sa uyenu fa? Udirun nyinu mine mati uliru Kutelle yita imon filluah?
For what if some Jews have proved unfaithful? Shall their faithlessness render God's faithfulness worthless?
4 Ko inyizi. Bara nani wang, na Kutelle yita unan kidegen, adi kogha di unan kinu. Naafo na idi nya niyerte, “ibayiru udi dert nan nya nagulang inlirufe, tutun uyisin gegeme uda in wusu wusu kidegen.”
No, indeed; let us hold God to be true, though every man should prove to be false. As it stands written, "That Thou mayest be shown to be just in the sentence Thou pronouncest, and gain Thy cause when Thou contendest."
5 Andi udirun dortu nimon ichine bit ndurso imon ichine Kutelle, tima woru ongyang? Na Kutelle dinin dirun sunimon ichine ba, ameh urika na adin puzunu tinanayi, amereh? Indi su uliru nafo unit usirene.
But if our unrighteousness sets God's righteousness in a clearer light, what shall we say? (Is God unrighteous--I speak in our everyday language-- when He inflicts punishment?
6 Na uwasonani. Bara nane, inyizari Kutelle, mawusu kidegen inye?
No indeed; for in that case how shall He judge all mankind?)
7 Andi kidegen Kutelle nuzu nan nya kinuni nan nya zazunu meh, inyagharita idin wusuzue kidegen nafo unan kulapi?
If, for instance, a falsehood of mine has made God's truthfulness more conspicuous, redounding to His glory, why am I judged all the same as a sinner?
8 Iyang ma wantinu iworo, nafo ubellubit kinu, tiworo, tutun among na yinin tiworo “Na ti su imon inan zan, bara imon ichine na dawa? Uwusu kidegen kitene mine chau.
And why should we not say--for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing--"Let us do evil that good may come"? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just.
9 Iyaghari tutun? Tidinin nimon bellua? Ko imon irum. Bari arikin mal vuru Ayahudawa nin Nawurmi, nwo idin nan nya nalapi,
What then? Are we Jews more highly estimated than they? Not in the least; for we have already charged all Jews and Gentiles alike with being in thraldom to sin.
10 Nafo na udin nan nya niyerte, na unan fiwu Kutelle dikuba, na warun dikuba.
Thus it stands written, "There is not one righteous man.
11 Na umondiku na adinin yinuba Na umonduku unan pizuru Kutelleba.
There is not one who is really wise, nor one who is a diligent seeker after God.
12 Vat ina kpilin, vat inghnu so hem. Na umon duku na adin su nimon gegemeba kayi! Nawasame dukuba.
All have turned aside from the right path; they have every one of them become corrupt. There is no one who does what is right--no, not so much as one."
13 Asholushok mine pun fang nafo nisek. Tilem so imon nrusuzu kiti. Timun niyii di nakpah tinumine.
"Their throats resemble an opened grave; with their tongues they have been talking deceitfully." "The venom of vipers lies hidden behind their lips."
14 Tinumine kulun nin nizogo nin gbagbai
"Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."
15 Abunu mine din tizu mas mas ngutuzunun nmii.
"Their feet move swiftly to shed blood.
16 Umusuzu nin niu di libau mine.
Ruin and misery mark their path;
17 Na iyiru libau lisosin liman ba.
and the way to peace they have not known."
18 Na ulanzu feu Kutelle di niyizi mineba.”
"There is no fear of God before their eyes."
19 Nene tiyiru, vat imerika na ushara belle, nale na idin nan nya shara, inan tursu tinu vat, tutun vat uyi yita nin kwanu Kutelle.
But it cannot be denied that all that the Law says is addressed to those who are living under the Law, in order that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may await sentence from God.
20 Udinani bara na kidowo mase inchine libau katuwa niyizi sharaba. Bara nan nya sharawe uyinu kulapi da.
For on the ground of obedience to Law no man living will be declared righteous before Him. Law simply brings a sure knowledge of sin.
21 Nene vat nin dirun sharawe ngegeme Kutelle puno kidowo, ushara nin nanan kadura Kutelle inso iyizi inba,
But now a righteousness coming from God has been brought to light apart from any Law, both Law and Prophets bearing witness to it--
22 usonani, ngegeme katuwa Kutelle nan nya yinnu sa uyenu, nan nya Yisa Kirsti vat kiti nale na iyinna. Na maferu feru dukuba.
a righteousness coming from God, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ and extends to all who believe. No distinction is made;
23 Bara vat nati alapi inani na dari kitin ghantinu Kutelle,
for all alike have sinned, and all consciously come short of the glory of God,
24 ita chaut hennani kitenen nbollu Kutelle nan nya kurtunu ulẹ na udin nan nya Yisa Kirsti.
gaining acquittal from guilt by His free unpurchased grace through the deliverance which is found in Christ Jesus.
25 Bari urika na Kutellẹ natuu Yisa Kirsti unan bolu ari nan nya yinu sa uyenu, nan nya nmii mẹ: ana ni Kirsti ku bara apun nchaut mẹ tutun nin shawu nalapi alẹ nawa adi, bara ayi ashẹu me.
He it is whom God put forward as a Mercy-seat, rendered efficacious through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness-- because of the passing over, in God's forbearance, of the sins previously committed--
26 Vat nani wa yita bara udursun ngegeme mẹ nan nya kokubẹ, anan dursọ litime chaut, akuru adurọ nwo amere din tizu anit chaut vat nalẹ na idinin yinnu sa uyenu nan nya Yisa.
with a view to demonstrating, at the present time, His righteousness, that He may be shown to be righteous Himself, and the giver of righteousness to those who believe in Jesus.
27 Unin fofigiri ndẹ? Ẹ kala unin. Kitene inyang? Kitene katwa? Nanare ba kitene inyinnu sa uyenu machas.
Where then is there room for your boasting? It is for ever shut out. On what principle? On the ground of merit? No, but on the ground of faith.
28 Bari nani, ti malzina nwo unit din sesu nchaut bari uyinnu sa uyenu na katwa inshara dukuba.
For we maintain that it is as the result of faith that a man is held to be righteous, apart from actions done in obedience to Law.
29 Sa Kutellẹ kun Nayahudawari machàs? Sa na amẹ Kutellẹ Nawurmerẹ. wang ba? Aẹ, nin Nawurmẹ wang.
Is God simply the God of the Jews, and not of the Gentiles also? He is certainly the God of the Gentiles also,
30 Andi Kutellẹ kurumari, ammati ubowe nan nya yinnu sa uyenu nchaut.
unless you can deny that it is one and the same God who will pronounce the circumcised to be acquitted on the ground of faith, and the uncircumcised to be acquitted through the same faith.
31 Iyanghri ti din bellẹ, ifilin usharawẹ bari uyinnu sa uyenwá? Na nanni wayita ba. Nin nani ti miin usharawe.
Do we then by means of this faith abolish the Law? No, indeed; we give the Law a firmer footing.
