1 N a, i te mea ka tika nei i te whakapono, kia mau ta tatou maunga rongo ki te Atua, he mea na to tatou Ariki, na Ihu Karaiti;

¶ Justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ,

2 N ana nei te whakatatanga i a tatou i runga i te whakapono ki tenei aroha noa e tu nei tatou; a kia hari tatou i te mea ka tumanako nei tatou ki te kororia o te Atua.

by whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and glory in hope of the glory of the sons of God.

3 A ehara i te mea ko tera anake, engari kia whakamanamana ano tatou ki o tatou mamae: e mohio ana hoki ko ta te mamae e mahi ai he manawanui;

And not only this, but we even glory in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works patience;

4 K o ta te manawanui he matauranga; ko ta te matauranga he tumanako:

and patience, experience; and experience, hope;

5 E kore ano e whakama i te mea ka tumanako nei: kua ringihia hoki te aroha o te Atua ki o tatou ngakau e te Wairua Tapu kua homai nei ki a tatou.

and the hope shall not be ashamed, because the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.

6 I a tatou hoki e ngoikore tonu ana, i te wa i rite ai, ka mate a te Karaiti mo te hunga karakiakore.

¶ For the Christ, when we were yet weak, in his time died for the ungodly.

7 E mate whakauaua hoki tetahi mo te tangata tika: tera pea ia tetahi e maia rawa kia mate mo te tangata pai.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die, yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 H eoi e whakakitea nuitia ana e te Atua tona aroha ki a tatou, i te mea, i a tatou ano e hara ana, ka mate a te Karaiti mo tatou.

But God increased the price of his charity toward us in that while we were yet sinners the Christ died for us.

9 N a, i a tatou ka tika nei i ona toto, tera noa ake he whakaoranga mana i a tatou i te riri o te Atua.

Then much more now justified in his blood, we shall be saved from wrath by him.

10 M ehemea hoki, i te wa he hoa whawhai tatou, ka houhia ta tatou rongo ki te Atua i runga i te matenga o tana Tama, tera noa ake, i te mea ka mau nei te rongo, he whakaoranga mo tatou, i a ia kua ora nei;

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled with God by the death of his Son, much more, now reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11 E hara hoki i te mea ko tera anake, engari e whakamanamana ana ano tatou ki te Atua, he mea na to tatou Ariki, na Ihu Karaiti, nana nei tenei houhanga rongo ki a tatou.

And not only this, but we even glory in God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.

12 N a, ka rite ki te putanga mai o te hara ki te ao, he mea na te tangata kotahi, me te mate ano i runga i te hara; ka horapa te mate ki nga tangata katoa; no te mea kua hara katoa:

Therefore, in the manner which sin entered into the world by one man, and because of sin, death; and so death passed upon all men in the one in whom all sinned.

13 I te ao nei hoki te hara, a tae noa mai te ture: otira e kore e whakairia te hara i te mea kahore he ture.

For until the law, sin was in the world; but the sin was not imputed, there being no law.

14 A hakoa ra he mana kingi to te mate no Arama iho ano taea noatia a Mohi, ki te hunga rawa kihai nei i rite to ratou hara ki to Arama poka ke, he ahua nei hoki ia no tenei i taria nei.

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even in those that did not sin after the manner of the rebellion of Adam, who is a figure of him that was to come.

15 O tira kihai i rite ki te hara te mea i homai noa mai. Mehemea hoki na te hara o te kotahi i mate ai te tokomaha, waihoki tera noa atu te huanga ki te tokomaha o to te Atua aroha noa, o te mea homai hoki i runga i te aroha noa o te tangata kotahi, o Ihu Karaiti.

But not as the offense, so also is the gift. For if through the offense of that one many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of one man, Jesus the Christ, has abounded unto many.

16 K ihai ano hoki i rite te mea i homai ki to te kotahi i hara: no te kotahi hoki te whakawa i tau ai te he; no nga hara maha ia te mea i homai noa mai hei whakatika.

Nor was it in the same manner as by one sin, likewise also the gift; for the judgment truly came of one sin unto condemnation, but grace came of many offenses unto justification.

17 M ehemea hoki na te hara o te kotahi i kingi ai te mate, he mea na te tangata kotahi; waihoki tera noa ake he kingitanga i runga i te ora mo te hunga ka riro nei i a ratou te aroha noa e hua tonu nei, me te tika i homai noa nei, he mea na te kota hi, ara na Ihu Karaiti.

For if by one offense, death reigned because of one man; much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of gifts and of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus the Christ.

18 A e ra, i te mea na te hara kotahi i tau ai te he ki nga tangata katoa, waihoki na te tika kotahi i puta ai te mea homai noa ki nga tangata katoa, e tika ai, e ora ai.

Therefore, in the same manner that by the iniquity of one guilt came upon all men unto condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one, grace came upon all men unto justification of life.

19 N a, i te mea na te tutu o te tangata kotahi i whai hara ai te tokomaha, waihoki na te ngohengohe o te kotahi, ka meinga te tokomaha kia tika.

For as by one man’s disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

20 I puta mai te ture kia nui ai te hara; heoi i te hara e nui noa ana, kua hua noa ake te aroha noa:

Moreover the law entered that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound,

21 H e mea hoki, i te hanga ko te hara te kingi i roto i te mate, kia kingi hoki ko te aroha noa i runga o te tika ki te ora tonu, he meatanga na Ihu Karaiti, na to tatou Ariki.

so that in the same manner as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus, the Christ, our Lord.
