Romans 3

1 What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision?

Sena mulayeyengeti Bayuda bapita bantu ba mishobo naimbi? Ninga kupalulwa kukute pindu cini?

2 Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God.

Pali bwinishi bunene pakuba Muyuda, pakwinga pakutanguna Lesa walapa Bayuda maswi akendi kwambeti basungenga.

3 For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect?

Nomba nabambi pakati pabo nkabalashomeka, sena kubula lushomo kwabo ngakupesheti Lesa abule kushomeka?

4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged.

Sobwe, ico nkacela kwinshika! Lesa abe wakubinga, necikabeti bantu bonse nibandemishibili. Mbuli Mabala ncakute kwambeti, “Amwe Lesa, lekani bantu bonse benshibeti mukute kwamba cakubinga, Kayi cindi conse mukute kucaniketi muliya kampenda pakukombolosha.”

5 Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.)

Lino na kwipa kwetu kulaleshengeti Lesa walulama, ngatwambeconi? Sena ngatwambeti Lesa nkalulama pakutupa cisubulo? Ndambanga mbuli bantu nabambi ncobakute kwamba.

6 God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world?

Sobwe, Lesa nalabula kuba walulama, sena nalakombolosheconi bantu bonse bapacishi capanshi?

7 For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner?

Nabambi ngabambeti, “Nakubepa kwakame kulaleshenga patuba kushomeka kwa Lesa ne kukonempesha bulemeneno bwakendi, nomba ngaung'ombolosheconi eti nkute bwipishi?”

8 And (as we are blamed, and as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust.

Lino nicani ncotwelela kwambileti “katwinsani byaipa kwambeti byaina biboneke?” Cakubinga bantu nabambi balatutukananga pakwambeti, tulamba makani awa. Bantu aba Lesa nakabape cisubulo celela.

9 What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne,

Nomba lino sena afwe Bayuda twapita bantu ba mishobo naimbi? Sobwe! Tulapandululu kendi kwambeti bonse balepisha, Bayuda pamo ne bantu ba mishobo naimbi.

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.

Pakwinga Mabala akute kwambeti, “Paliya muntu walulama, sobwe naba umo kuliya.

11 There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God.

Kuliya muntu ukute kunyumfwishisha, kuliyawa muntu lalangaulunga Lesa.

12 They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

Bantu bonse basula Lesa, kayi bonse basendama, paliya shikwinsa byaina, sobwe kuliya naba umo.

13 Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes.

Kwamba kwabo nikwakubepa, kayi kukute kushinisha. Milaka yabo ikute kwamba byakubepa kayi mumilomo yabo mukute kufuma maswi aipa aipa eti mata anjoka.

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse.

Mumilomo mwabo mwesula mashingo, mukute kufuma maswi aipa.

15 Their feete are swift to shead blood.

Nibantu bakute kufwambana kulinga ne kushina banabo.

16 Destruction and calamity are in their waies,

Bakute kononga ne kupensha bantu kulikonse nkobalayi,

17 And ye way of peace they haue not knowen.

kayi nkabacinshi kwikala mulumuno.

18 The feare of God is not before their eies.

Nkabakute kutina Lesa nambi pang'ana sobwe.”

19 Now we know that whatsoeuer ye Lawe saieth, it saieth it to them which are vnder ye Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world be subiect to the iudgement of God.

“Lino tucinshi kwambeti byonse byambwa mu Milawo ya Lesa, bikute kwamba pali abo balakonkelenga Milawo kwambeti bantu bonse pa cishi capanshi bakabule pakuyubila milandu Lesa njeshakabape.

20 Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.

Pakwinga kuliyawa muntu Lesa ngwakute kubona walulama pacebo ca kukonkela Milawo. Mulawo ukute kutulesheti bantu bonse balepisha.”

21 But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets,

Nomba lino nshila ilaboneke yakucaninamo bululami pamenso a Lesa, nteyo yakukonkela Milawo sobwe. Milawo iyo niya Mose ne bashinshimi bakute kuyinshila bukamboni.

22 To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue.

Nshila bantu njobakute kucaninamo bululami pamenso a Lesa nikushoma Yesu Klistu. Lesa eukute kululamika bantu bashoma Yesu Klistu, pakwinga kuliya bupusano pakati pa bantu bonse.

23 For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God,

Bantu bonse balepisha, kayi balalilwa kushika ku bulemeneno bwa Lesa.

24 And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus,

Nsombi kwinamoyo kwakendi Lesa kwabulyo, bantu balulamikwa kupitila muli Klistu Yesu uyo walabalubula.

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed,

Lesa walamubengeti abe mulumbo kwambeti lufu lwakendi, lulesheti Lesa walulama uliyawa kubapa cisubulo abo balepisha mucindi cakunyuma

26 Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.

pacebo cakuba ne moyonteka. Nomba pacindi cino Lesa walabenga Yesu kwambeti aboneshe kululama kwakendi, ne kwambeti benshibeti nendi walulama, kayi uliyense washoma Yesu ukute kuba walulama pamenso a Lesa.

27 Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded. By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith.

Nomba sena lino muntu ngolitukumuna? Sobwe, nkela kulitukumuna. Pacebo cini? Sena nipakukonkela Milawo? Sobwe, nsombi kushoma.

28 Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe.

Neco lino tulabono kwambeti muntu ukute kuba walulama pamenso a Lesa na lashomo, nteko kukonkela Milawo sobwe.

29 God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also.

Sena Lesa ni Lesa wa Bayuda bonka? Sena ntendiye kayi Lesa wa bantu ba mishobo naimbi? Cakubinga endiye Lesa wa bantu ba mishobo naimbi.

30 For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith.

Lesa ni umo, neco endiye ukute kululamika Bayuda kupitila mulushomo kayi nabo bantu bakunsa bakute kuba balulama kupitila mulushomo.

31 Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe.

Sena ici cilambangeti Milawo iliyawa ncito pakwambeti nikupitila mulushomo? Sobwe! Empotulaiyumishinga Milawo.
