Louma 4
1 Ninia fi aowa A: ibalaha: me ea hou amola ea hawa: hamosu, amo ninia ba: mu da defea.
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
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 were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before 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 saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto 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 that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
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 that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted 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 describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 “Dunu da ea wadela: i hou da gogolema: ne olofoi dagoi ba: sa, amo dunu da hahawane bagade.
[Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and 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 to whom the Lord will not impute 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.”
[Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only], or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned 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 was it then reckoned? 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.
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which [he had yet] being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
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.
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which [he had] being [yet] uncircumcised.
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, that he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed, 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 they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none 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.
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
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.
Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; 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 thee a father of many nations, ) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be 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.
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed 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.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’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.
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in 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 persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also 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.
And therefore it was imputed 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 for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
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 us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up 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 for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
