1What advantage then hath the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?
1Pea ka kuo pehē, pea ko e hā ʻae lelei lahi ʻoku ʻi he Siu? Pe ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻoe kamu?
2Much every way. First indeed, because the words of God were committed to them.
2ʻOku lahi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: kae lahi taha pe koeʻuhi ko e tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
3For what if some of them have not believed? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid.
3Ka ko e hā, ʻo kapau naʻe ai ha niʻihi naʻe ʻikai tui? ʻE fakataʻeʻaonga ʻe heʻenau taʻetui ʻae moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua?
4But God is true; and every man a liar, as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.
4ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito: ʻio, ke moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, kae loi ʻae tangata kotoa pē; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Koeʻuhi ke ke tonuhia ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tala, pea koeʻuhi ke ke māʻoniʻoni ʻoka ke ka fakamaau.”
5But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath?
5Pea kapau ʻoku hā ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻetau taʻemāʻoniʻoni, te tau pehē ko e hā? ʻOku taʻeangatonu ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene houhau? (ʻOku ou lea ʻo hangē ko e tangata.)
6(I speak according to man.) God forbid: otherwise how shall God judge this world?
6ʻIkai ʻaupito: he ka ne pehē ʻe fēfē hono fakamaau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa māmani?
7For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?
7He kapau kuo tupulekina ʻo lahi ʻae moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, ke ongoongolelei ia ʻi heʻeku loi; pea ko e hā ʻoku kei fakamaau ai au ko e angahala?
8And not rather (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil, that there may come good? whose damnation is just.
8Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai ke pehē muʻa , (ʻo hangē ko hono lohiakiʻi ʻakimautolu, pea hangē ko hono fakapapau ia ʻe he niʻihi ʻoku mau lea ʻo pehē ), “Ke tau fai kovi, kae tupu ai ha lelei?” Ko honau fakamalaʻia ko e meʻa totonu.
9What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews, and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
9Pea fēfē ai? ʻOku lelei lahi hake ʻakitautolu? ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito: he kuo ʻosi ʻemau fakamoʻoni ʻoku fakatou moʻulaloa kotoa pē ki he angahala, ʻae kakai Siu mo e kakai Senitaile;
10As it is written: There is not any man just.
10ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha taha:
11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
11ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku kumi ki he ʻOtua.
12All have turned out of the way; they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.
12Kuo nau hē kotoa pē, kuo nau hoko ʻo taʻeʻaonga kotoa pē; ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha taha,
13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.
13Ko honau kia ko e fonualoto kuo matangaki; kuo nau fai fakakākā ʻaki honau ʻelelo; ko e meʻa kona ʻoe ngata fekai ʻoku ʻi lalo ʻi honau loungutu:
14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
14ʻOku pito honau ngutu ʻi he kapekape mo e lea fakamahū:
15Their feet swift to shed blood:
15Ko honau vaʻe ʻoku vave ke lilingi toto:
16Destruction and misery in their ways:
16ʻOku ʻi honau ngaahi hala ʻae fakaʻauha mo e malaʻia:
17And the way of peace they have not known:
17Pea ko e hala ʻoe melino ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi:
18There is no fear of God before their eyes.
18Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha manavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻi honau ʻao.”
19Now we know, that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be made subject to God.
19Ko eni, ʻoku tau ʻilo ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakahā ʻi he fono, ʻoku fakahā ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku moʻulaloa ki he fono: koeʻuhi ke mapuni ʻae ngutu kotoa pē, kae nofo ʻa māmani kotoa pē kuo halaia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
20Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.
20Ko ia ʻe ʻikai fakatonuhiaʻi ha tokotaha ʻi hono ʻao ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono: he ʻoku mei he fono ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe angahala.
21But now without the law the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.
21Ka ko eni, ʻoku fakahā ʻae fakatonuhiaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he taʻekau ʻae fono, pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni ia ʻe he fono mo e kau palōfita;
22Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction:
22ʻIo, ʻae fakatonuhiaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he tui kia Sisu Kalaisi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē pea ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tui: he ʻoku ʻikai ha fai kehekehe:
23For all have sinned, and do need the glory of God.
23He kuo fai angahala kotoa pē, pea tomui ʻi he fakamālō mei he ʻOtua.
24Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ Jesus,
24Pea ʻoku fakatonuhiaʻi ko e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pē ʻi heʻene ʻaloʻofa, koeʻuhi ko e totongi huhuʻi ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:
25Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins,
25ʻAia kuo fakahā atu ʻe he ʻOtua ko e feilaulau fakalelei ia, ʻi he tui ki hono taʻataʻa, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fakamolemole ʻoe angahala kuo fai, ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa kātaki ʻae ʻOtua;
26Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time; that he himself may be just, and the justifier of him, who is of the faith of Jesus Christ.
26Ke fakahā ʻi he kuonga ni ʻa ʻene māʻoniʻoni: koeʻuhi ke angatonu pe ia, ka ko e fakatonuhia ia ʻo ia ʻoku tui kia Sisu.
27Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
27Pea ka kuo pehē, pea kofa'a 'ae pole? Kuo kapusi ia. 'E he fono fono fē? ʻOe ngaahi ngāue? ʻIkai ʻaupito: ka ʻe he fono ʻoe tui.
28For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law.
28Ko ia ʻoku mau tukupau eni, ʻoku fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae tangata ʻe he tui, ʻo taʻekau ai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻae fono.
29Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also.
29Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe kakai Siu pē? Pea ʻikai ʻoe Senitaile foki? ʻIo, ʻoe kakai Senitaile foki:
30For it is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
30He ko e ʻOtua pe taha, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae kamu ʻe he tui, mo e taʻekamu ʻi he tui.
31Do we, then, destroy the law through faith? God forbid: but we establish the law.
31Pea ʻoku tau fakataʻeʻaongaʻi koa ʻae fono ʻi he tui? ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito: ka ʻoku mau fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae fono.
