Perlebe: sabap man kalak Jahudi me perlebe iendesken Dibata perkatan-perkatanNa. 3 Dage adi lit piga-piga kalak Jahudi la setia man Dibata, iakapndu kin maka erkiteken si e Dibata lanai setia man padanNa?
4 Tentu lang! Tapi bagenda kap. Dibata e tetap nge i bas ketuhu-tuhun aminna gia kerina manusia perguak. Bagi lit tersurat i bas Pustaka Si Badia,
“I japa pe Kam ngerana, Kam tetap nge ibenarken.
Katawari pe menang nge Kam, adi iaduken kalak Kam.” t
5 Tapi kuga, adi arah kesalahenta e reh ulina teridah kebujuren Dibata? Kuga ninta? Salah kin perbahanen Dibata e adi iukumna kita? (Aku ngerana i jenda bagi biasana manusia ngerana.)
6 Tentu lang! Sabap adi la kin adil Dibata e, labo banci iadilina doni enda.
7 Umpamakenlah lit kalak si atena ersoal, nina, “Adi arah kejahatenku e maka ertangkasna teridah keadilen Dibata seh maka la ipermuliaken, ma patut min aku lanai iukum Dibata bagi kalak perdosa?
8 Dage ngkai maka la sibahan si jahat, gelah arah kejahaten e reh si mehuli?” Si tuhuna lit nge kalak si encekuraki aku alu ngataken maka si enda me kuajarken. Kalak enda la banci la iukum bagi patutna.Kerina jelma e me kalak perdosa
9 Dage, ulin kin kita kalak Jahudi asangken si labo kalak Jahudi? Sitik pe lang! Ndai enggo kupetangkas i das maka subuk kalak Jahudi bage pe bangsa si deban kerina i teruh kuasa dosa.
10 Bagi lit tersurat i bas piga-piga kitap i bas Pustaka Si Badia,
“La lit ise pe bujur i lebe-lebe Dibata, t
11 la lit ise pe si pentar,
la lit ise pe ndarami Dibata.
12 Kerina manusia enggo nilah i bas Dibata nari;
kerina ia enggo macik;
la lit ise pe erbahan si mehuli, sada pe lang.
13 Kalah-kalahna desken lubang kubur si talang
nipu ia alu dilahna,
janah i bas biberna nari ndarat kata-kata desken bisa nipe si erbahanca kalak mate. t
14 Babahna dem alu sumpah si pagit. t
15 Nahena pedas ngayak-ngayak dingen munuh kalak. t
16 Gedang-gedang dalan si ibentasina, ibahanna kecedan dingen kesusahen.
17 La pernah idalanina dalan perdamen.
18 Bage pe la diatena erkemalangen man Dibata.” t
19 Sieteh maka kerina si ikataken Undang-undang e, itujuken man kalak si nggeluh i teruh Undang-undang, gelah olanai lit kalak si erdalih janah gelah doni enda lanai lit ampang-ampangna nandangi ukumen Dibata.
20 Sabap labo ise pe banci rembak ras Dibata adi arah ndalanken Undang-undang. Undang-undang e gunana e me gelah ierti manusia ia erdosa. tUga Dibata ngerambakken diriNa kempak manusia
21 Tapi genduari cara Dibata ngerembakken manusia kempak diriNa enggo ipetangkas, janah si e la lit sangkut pautna ras Undang-undang. (Si tuhuna Undang-undang Musa ras kitap nabi-nabi mereken kesaksin maka si e tuhu kap.) 22 Dibata ngerembakken manusia kempak diriNa erkiteken kiniteken manusia e man Jesus Kristus. Kerina kalak si tek man Kristus iperembak Dibata ras diriNa sabap bali nge kerina manusia enda. t 23 Kerina manusia enggo erdosa janah enggo ndauh sirang ras sura-sura Dibata si mejile. 24 Tapi arah pemere Dibata erpalasken lias ateNa, kerina manusia irembakken Dibata kempak diriNa, arah pertebusen si ibahan Kristus Jesus. 25 Dibata enggo netapken Ia jadi sada persembahen gelah arah Ia engkorbanken diriNa seh mate, kerina dosa-dosa manusia isasapken dingen pernembeh ate Dibata ipepalem, adi tek ia man Jesus Kristus. Arah si enda icidahken Dibata maka Ia bujur kap. Nai nari isinikken Dibata saja kerna dosa-dosa manusia,
26 janah la Ia megelut. Tapi i bas paksa si genduari enggo iukum Dibata dosa-dosa manusia i bas diri Jesus Kristus. Arah si e icidahkenNa maka Ia adil, janah radu ras si e irembakkenNa kempak diriNa kerina kalak si tek man Jesus.
27 Dage labo lit si man megahenken manusia. Engkai makana bage? Sabap manusia ikelini Dibata labo erkiteken ndalanken Undang-undang, tapi erkiteken tek ia man Jesus Kristus. 28 Dage, manusia banci rembak ras Dibata labo erkiteken manusia e ndalanken kai si ituntut Undang-undang, tapi erkiteken tek man Jesus Kristus ngenca. 29 Ntah kin Dibata e Dibata kalak Jahudi saja ngenca? Ma kin Ia pe Dibata bangsa si deban nge? Tentu. 30 Sabap Dibata e sada ngenca. Dibata ngerembakken kalak Jahudi si ersunat e kempak diriNa erkiteken ia tek man Jesus Kristus; bage pe irembakkenNa kalak si deban si la ersunat kempak diriNa erkiteken kalak enda pe tek man Jesus Kristus. t 31 Adi tek kita man Jesus Kristus, sicedaken kin Undang-undang e? Kutera pe lang! Tapi arah si e sitamaken Undang-undang e i babo palas si lebih enteguh.
Romans 3
1 Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision?2 Actually, there are many advantages.t First of all,st the Jewst were entrusted with the oracles of God.t3 What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?
4 Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human beingt shown up as a liar,t just as it is written: “so that you will be justifiedtin your words and will prevail when you are judged.”t
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstratest the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he?t (I am speaking in human terms.)s6 Absolutely not! For otherwise how could God judge the world?7 For if by my lie the truth of God enhancest his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?
8 And why not say, “Let us do evil so that good may come of it”? – as some who slander us allege that we say.t (Theirt condemnation is deserved!)
The Condemnation of the World
9 What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin,
10 just as it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one,
11 there is no one who understands,
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
together they have become worthless;
there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.”s
13 “Their throats are open graves,t
they deceive with their tongues,
the poison of asps is under their lips.”s
14 “Their mouths aretfull of cursing and bitterness.”s
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood,
16 ruin and misery are in their paths,
17 and the way of peace they have not known.”s
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”s
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are undert the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.20 For no one is declared righteous before hims by the works of the law,t for through the law comest the knowledge of sin.21 But nowt apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets)t has been disclosed –22 namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christts for all who believe. For there is no distinction,23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.24 But they are justifiedt freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.25 God publicly displayedt himt at his deatht as the mercy seatt accessible through faith.t This was to demonstratet his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.t
26 This wast also to demonstratet his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be justt and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.t
27 Where, then, is boasting?t It is excluded! By what principle?t Of works? No, but by the principle of faith!28 For we consider that a persont is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law.t29 Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles too? Yes, of the Gentiles too!30 Since God is one,t he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
31 Do we then nullifyt the law through faith? Absolutely not! Insteadt we uphold the law.
