Romawa 4
1 Ki tre ndi ngye nitu Ibrahim Bachi mbu u kpa afe?
Then what shall we say that Abraham, our father according to the flesh, has found?
2 Ibrahim andi fe kpa chuwo nitu nduma, andi na wruwo ni san, wruwo ni san ma ndina he ni shishi Irji na.
For if Abraham were justified by works, he has glorification; but not before God.
3 Ahi ngye nassi hla? Ibrahim a kpanyime ni Irji, u baka bla yo niwu ndi ahi ndi tsratsra.
For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.
4 Zizan wawu wa a tie ndu'a, bana bla lulu ma yo ni mi tsratsra na, bayo ni kpe wa a he u ma.
But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt;
5 Wawu wa ana he ni ndu na, a kpa nyime niwa ani wruhle nibi lahtre'a ba bla yo suron ma ni son tsratsra.
but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.
6 Dauda a tre tre lulu nitu nji wa Irji bla yo nimi tsratsra hama ni ndu'a
Indeed David also speaks of the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works,
7 A tre ndi, “Lulu he nitu biwa ba wru lah tre mba hle'a ni biwa ba ka lah tre mba kaka ni bawu'a.
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
8 Lulu he nitu nji wa Irji na bla lah tre ma memle'e mu na'a.”
blessed is the man of whom the Lord may not impute sin.
9 U lulu yi he nitu biwa ba yonji ni bawu ka gji, ka nitu biwa bana yonji ni bawu ngame'a na?
Then does this blessedness come on the circumcision, or on the uncircumcision? for we say That faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Ba bla yo niwu nihe? Ahe ni nton wa ba yonji ni Ibrahim ka ni nton wa ba na rhi he yo nji niwu'a? Ana he ni nton wa ba yo nji niwu'a na, a heni nto wa bana yo nji niwu'a na.
Then how was it imputed? to him, being in circumcision or uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Ibrahim kpa ngban u yo nji'a. Wawu yi a he hatimi (seal) u yo suron wa a he niwu rhi ni nton wa ana yo nji rhi na. A tie wayi ndu ka tie tie bi wa ba yo suron'a, amma bana yo nji ni bawu rhi na, ndi duba blaba yo nimi bi wa ba tsratsra me'a.
And he received the sign of circumcision, and the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he should be the father of all who believed, through uncircumcision; and righteousness should be imputed to them;
12 Ahi tie biwa ba yo nji ni bawu'a, ana wa ba yo nji migyen na, bi wa ba zren ni nkon ndindi wa Ibrahim a hu rhi nda fe yo nji'a.
and the father of circumcision to them 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 Alkawali wa bana tie ni Ibrahim ni hama ndi ani gaje (heir) mgbumgblu'a ana doka na a rhi ni tsratsra u yo suron.
For the promise to Abraham or his seed, that he should be the heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Biwa bana son nitu doka ba ni gaji koh Irji'a, iyo suron ani migyen (empty), u alikawali a ndi na kpe na.
For if the heirs were by the law, faith has been made void, and the promise vitiated.
15 Doka ni nji nfu ye, doka nita hama lah tre hamma.
For the law works out wrath: for where there is no law, there is no transgression.
16 Ani tu tre yiyi ani kponji, ni ndu nno nyu mba ndu si nitu zizi nda bwu (nno) nkon ni grji Ibrahim.
Therefore it is by faith, in order that it may be by grace; that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not only of the law, but also of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 Na wa ba nha, “Mi chu ndu he tie u mgbumgblu gbugbu'u” Ibrahim ahe ni shishi ndji wa a kpau nyime'a, wato Irji wa ani nu vri (life) ni biwa ba gyu nda ndu kpe biwa bana he na ndu ba he.
as it has been written, That I have constituted thee the father of many nations, before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls things which are not as really existing:
18 Ibrahim a kpa nyime ni Irji nitu kpe wa ba he ni ko shishi'a. Na kati tie ni mgbumgblu gbugbuwu, ni tu kpe wa ba hla niwu'a, igrji me ba he naki.
who against hope confided in hope, that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be:
19 Ana khwumgble ni yo suron mana, a kpa nyime ndi wawu ceye, don ana tie whewhre ni se dari, a kpa nyime ndi ikrju (Womb) Saratu na nji vren ngana.
and being not weak in faith, he considered not his body already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20 Nitu Alkawali Irji, Ibrahim ana senyu (hesitate) nitu ka kpa nyime mana, a fe mgbemgblen nitu son suron ma, nda gbre Irji San.
but he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was filled up with dynamite through faith, having given glory to God;
21 A kpa nyime gbigbi ni kpe wa Irji hla ani tieu.
and being fully assured, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
22 U ba bla kma yo niwu ndi ahi tsratsra ndji.
Therefore it was indeed imputed unto him for righteousness.
23 Bana nha ndi ndu zo nika khji ma na.
And it was not written on account of him alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 Ba nha ni tawu ngame, ba bla ni tawu biwa ki yo suron niwu wa a ton Yesu Almasihu shime ni khyu'a.
but on account of us also, to whom it is about to be imputed, who believe on him who raised up our Lord Jesus from the dead;
25 Ahi wa ndi ba kamba niwu nitu lah tre mbu'a nda tashime nitu kpata chuwo'a.
who was delivered on account of our transgressions, and raised for our justification.
