Louma 4
1 Ninia fi aowa A: ibalaha: me ea hou amola ea hawa: hamosu, amo ninia ba: mu da defea.
What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
2 E da hi hou moloidafa hamoiba: le, Gode da e moloidafa hamoi ganiaba, e da gasa fi hou hamomu da defea gala: loba. Be dunu da gasa fi hamomu, amo Gode da higa: i hodosa.
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
3 Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “A: ibalaha: me da Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: i. Amaiba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene moloidafa hamoi ba: i.”
For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
4 Hawa: hamosu dunu da hawa: hamobeba: le, bidi laha. Be ea bidi lai da hahawane dogolegele iasu hame. E da hawa: hamobeba: le fawane lasa.
Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
5 Gode da wadela: i hamosu dunu lale, afadenene, dunu moloidafa hamomusa: dawa: Osobo bagade dunu da hi hawa: hamobe amo mae dawa: le, amo dafawaneyale dawa: sea, Gode da amo dunu ea hou afadenene, bu moloidafa hamoi ba: sa.
But to him who does not work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
6 Amo hou Da: ibidi da amane olelei, nowa dunu da mae hawa: hamone, udigili Gode Ea hanaiba: le afadenei moloidafa ba: sa, amo dunu da hahawane bagade.
Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 “Dunu da ea wadela: i hou da gogolema: ne olofoi dagoi ba: sa, amo dunu da hahawane bagade.
“Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 Gode da amo dunu ea wadela: i hou hobea hamedafa bu dawa: mu. Amaiba: le, e da hahawane bagade!”
Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
9 Amo hahawane hou, gadofo damui dunu fawane da hame dawa: , be gadofo hame damui dunu amola amo hou dawa: lala. Ninia musa: Gode Sia: dedei, amane olelei, “A: ibalaha: me da Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: i. Amaiba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene, moloidafa hamoi ba: i.”
Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Amo hou da habogala hamobela: ? Amo hou da A: ibalaha: me ea gadofo hame damui esoga degabo ba: i.
How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Gode da A: ibalaha: me moloidafa ba: i. Fa: no e da gadofo damusu hou hamoi. Ea gadofo damui da dawa: digima: ne olelesu fawane. Amo dawa: digima: ne olelesu da e da Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me moloidafa hamoi ba: i. Gadofo damui da fa: no ba: i. Amaiba: le dunu huluane Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le gadofo damui amola gadofo hame damui, amo Gode da moloidafa hamoi ba: sa. Amola amo huluane da A: ibalaha: me ea mano agoane.
He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
12 Gadofo damui dunu amola ilia A: ibalaha: me ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou e da ea gadofo hame damui amo esoga hamosu, amo defele ilia hamobeba: le, ilia amola da A: ibalaha: me ea mano agoane.
He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
13 Gode da A: ibalaha: mema, e amola egaga fi da hobea osobo bagade huluane lalegagumu sia: i. A: ibalaha: me da sema huluane mae giadofale hamoiba: le, Gode da amo hame sia: i. Be A: ibalaha: me da Gode dafawaneyale dawa: le, moloidafa hamoiba: le, Gode da ema amane sia: i.
For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu da Sema nabasu dunu ilima fawane iaha ganiaba, osobo bagade dunu ilia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da hamedei liligi agoai ba: la: loba, amola Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu da hamedei liligi agoai ba: la: loba.
For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
15 Gode Ea Sema da dialebeba: le, amo wadela: beba: le, dunu ilia Gode Ea ougi se dabe iasu ba: mu. Be Sema da hame galea, Sema amoma hame nabasu hou amola da hame gala.
For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
16 Amaiba: le, hahawane dogolegele iasu hou bai, amo Gode da Ema dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amoga hamoi. Gode da A: ibalaha: me egaga fi huluane ilima hahawane dogolegele imunu sia: i. Sema nabasu dunu ilima fawane hame. Be nowa dunu e da A: ibalaha: me ea hou defele dafawaneyale dawa: sa, ilima amola. A: ibalaha: me da nini huluanema a: silibu ada agoane esala.
For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.
17 Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Na da di fifi asi gala bagohame ilima ada hamoi dagoi.” Gode da bogoi uhinisimusa: dawa: Ea sia: beba: le, musa: hamedafa gala liligi da hamosa. A: ibalaha: me da amo Gode dafawaneyale dawa: i. Amola Gode da amo musa: ilegele sia: i hahawane dogolegele iasu liligi hamoi dagoi.
As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
18 Osobo bagade dunu ilia hou ganodini, Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu amo misa: ne hamoma: beyale da bai hame gala. Be A: ibalaha: me da gasawane dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, dunu fi bagohame da ea mano agoane hamosu. Gode Sia: dedei amo, “Dia fi dunu lalelegemu da gasumuni idi defele agoane ba: mu.” - amo da dafawane ba: sa.
Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
19 A: ibalaha: me da lalelegele, ea esalebe ode idi da gadenene 100 gidigi. Be ea da: i hodo da bogomu gadenei, amola ea uda Sela da mano lamu hamedei, amo mae dawa: le, e da ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou hame yolesi.
Without being weakened in faith, he did not consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
20 A: ibalaha: me da Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele imunu sia: i dafawaneyale dawa: i galu. Dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, e da gasawane hamone, Godema nodoi.
Yet, looking to the promise of God, he did not waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21 A: ibalaha: me da Gode da Ea musa: ilegele sia: i dafawane hamomu, amo dafawaneyale dawa: i.
and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
22 Amaiba: le, A:ibalaha: me da Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, “afadenei bu moloidafa hamoi,” Gode da e ba: i dagoi.
Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
23 Amo sia: , “afadenei bu moloidafa hamoi,” da A: ibalaha: me fawane ea hou olelema: ne hame dedei
Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
24 Be ninia amola ninia hou olelema: ne dedei. Gode da Hina Yesu Gelesu bogoi amo wa: legadolesiba: le, amo ninia dafawaneyale dawa: sea, Gode da nini amola “afadenei bu moloidafa hamoi” ba: mu.
but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 Ninia wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofomusa: , Gode da Yesu Gelesu osobo bagade dunu medole legemusa: , ilima i. Amola Gode da ninia huluane afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi ba: musa: , E da Yesu Gelesu uhini wa: legadolesi.
who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
