Rom 4
1 Hottelah pawiteh maimae na pa Abraham teh takthai lahoi bang mouh ahawinae a coe vaw.
What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
2 Abraham teh a tawksaknae hoi lannae koe phat pawiteh kâoupkhai kawi lah ao. Cathut hmalah teh hottelah nahoeh.
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
3 Cakathoung dawk a dei navah Abraham teh Cathut a yuem dawkvah ahnie yuemnae teh lannae lah a khoe pouh.
For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
4 Thaw tawknae lahoi kutphu hmu e teh lungmanae nahoeh, a hmu hanelah a kamcu dawk a hmu e doeh.
Now to the one who works, the pay is not counted as a gift, but as an obligation.
5 Thaw tawknae awmhoeh eiteh, tamikayonnaw hanlah na lan toe telah katetkung Bawipa hah, ka yuem e tami teh ahnie yuemnae hah lannae lah khoe pouh lah ao.
But to him who does not work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
6 Hot patetlah Cathut ni a thaw tawknae khen pouh laipalah a poe e lannae kacoekung e a yawhawinae hah Devit ni a dei navah,
Even as David also pronounces blessing on the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,
7 yon ngaithoum lah kaawm e, yonnae naw ramuk pouh lah kaawm naw teh a yawhawi awh.
"Happy are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Cathut ni yonpennae dawk hoi ka hlout e tami teh a yawhawi telah ati.
Happy is the one whom the Lord will not charge with sin."
9 Vuensoma lah kaawm naw dueng maw hote yawhawi ka coe han vaw. Ka a hoeh naw hai a coe han maw. Abraham e yuemnae teh ahnie lannae lah a khoe pouh, ati.
Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.
10 Hot hah, bangpatinah maw a khoe pouh. Vuensoma nah maw. Hoehpawiteh, vuensoma hoehnahlan maw. Vuensoma hnukkhu laipalah, vuensoma hoehnahlan vah hottelah khoe e lah ao toe.
How then was it credited? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Hot patetvanlah, Abraham teh vuensoma hoehnahlan yuemnae dawk hoi tamikalan telah khoenae hah vuensomanae lahoi a kamnue sak. Het hateh Abraham hah, vuensoma laipalah ka yuem e tami pueng e na pa lah ao nahane hoi ahnimanaw hai lannae a coe awh nahane doeh.
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 Hahoi, Abraham teh kayuemnaw pueng e na pa lah ao hane hoi vuensoma dawk dueng laipalah, a hoehnahlan hoi kaawm e yuemnae dawk ka cet naw e na pa lahai ao nahane doeh.
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 Hete talaivan heh râw lah na pang sak han telah Abraham koe poe e lawkkam teh, kâlawk khetsin lahoi poe e tho laipalah, yuemnae lahoi coe e lannae dawk hoi doeh poe e lah ao.
For the promise to Abraham and to his descendants that he should be heir of the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kâlawk hoi kâkuen e naw ni râw coe awh pawiteh, yuemnae teh ayawmyin lah awm vaiteh, lawkkam hai karawk han doeh.
For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
15 Kâlawk ni teh lungkhueknae a tâcokhai. Hatei kâlawk awm hoeh pawiteh, payonnae hai awmhoeh.
For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
16 Hatdawkvah lawkkam teh yuemnae hoi doeh a kâkuet. Hote lawkkam teh lungmanae lahoi a coung sak teh, kâlawk hoi kâkuen e miphunnaw hane dueng laipalah, Abraham e yuemnae hoi kâkuen e catoun lah kaawm e catounnaw pueng hanelah a caksak nahane doeh.
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 Abraham, who is the father of us all.
17 Kai ni nang teh moikapap e miphunnaw e na pa lah na coung sak toe telah Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah Abraham teh ama ni a yuem e Cathut, kadout e naw hah kahring sak niteh, kaawm hoeh e hnonaw hah ao thai nahanelah kâ ka poe thai e Cathut hmalah, maimouh pueng e na pa lah ao.
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 Ahni teh ngaihawi hanlah kaawm hoeh toung e hah a ngaihawi, a yuem teh, na catoun teh hettelah ao han telah lawkkam pouh e patetlah moikapap e miphunnaw e na pa lah ao.
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 Ahni teh a kum cum touh bang a pha nah, amae a tak teh kadout e patetlah ao e hoi, Sarah e von a due toe tie hai a panue eiteh yuemnae dawk a thayounnae awmhoeh.
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 Cathut e lawkkam dawk lunghringnae tawn laipalah yuemnae a len poung teh Cathut a pholen.
Yet, looking to the promise of God, he did not waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21 Cathut teh lawkkam a poe e patetlah a sak thai tie hai khoeroe a yuem.
and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 Hatdawkvah, yuemnae hah ahnie lannae lah khoe pouh e lah ao.
And therefore "it was credited to him as righteousness."
23 Hatei, ahni hah khoe e lah ao telah Cakathoung dawk a thut e teh, Abraham buet touh hane dueng nahoeh. Maimouh hanelah hai thut e lah ao.
Now it was not written that it was credited to him for his sake alone,
24 Maimae Bawipa Jisuh hah duenae koehoi kathawsakkung hah ka yuem e maimouh hai na lan toe telah na khoe awh han.
but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, who believe in him who raised Yeshua our Lord from the dead,
25 Bawipa Jisuh teh maimae payonnae dawkvah, thei e lah ao teh maimouh lansaknae coe nahanelah a thaw toe.
who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
