Romawa 4
1 Ki tre ndi ngye nitu Ibrahim Bachi mbu u kpa afe?
What then will we say that Avraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
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 Avraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, 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? And Avraham believed God, and it was credited to him as 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.
Now to the one who works, the pay is not counted as a gift, but as an obligation.
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 who does not work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
6 Dauda a tre tre lulu nitu nji wa Irji bla yo nimi tsratsra hama ni ndu'a
Even as Dawid also pronounces blessing on the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from 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.
"Happy are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Lulu he nitu nji wa Irji na bla lah tre ma memle'e mu na'a.”
Happy is the one whom the Lord will not charge with sin."
9 U lulu yi he nitu biwa ba yonji ni bawu ka gji, ka nitu biwa bana yonji ni bawu ngame'a na?
Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was credited to Avraham as 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.
How then was it credited? When he was in circumcision, or in 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.
He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, so that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be credited 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.
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 Avraham, 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 Avraham and to his descendants that he should be 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 those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
15 Doka ni nji nfu ye, doka nita hama lah tre hamma.
For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
16 Ani tu tre yiyi ani kponji, ni ndu nno nyu mba ndu si nitu zizi nda bwu (nno) nkon ni grji Ibrahim.
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 descendants, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Avraham, 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 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 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 hoped in spite of hopeless circumstances, with the result that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "so will your descendants 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 not being weak in faith, he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (he 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.
Yet, looking to the promise of God, he did not waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21 A kpa nyime gbigbi ni kpe wa Irji hla ani tieu.
and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 U ba bla kma yo niwu ndi ahi tsratsra ndji.
And therefore "it was credited to him as righteousness."
23 Bana nha ndi ndu zo nika khji ma na.
Now it was not written that it was credited to him for his sake alone,
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 for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, who believe in him who raised Yeshua our Lord from the dead,
25 Ahi wa ndi ba kamba niwu nitu lah tre mbu'a nda tashime nitu kpata chuwo'a.
who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
