Romans 4
1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, has discovered?
Ania ngarud iti ibagatayo a natakkuatan ni Abraham, nga ammaentayo segun iti lasag?
2 If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.
Ta no napalinteg ni Abraham babaen dagiti ar-aramid, addaan koma isuna iti rason nga agpasindayag, ngem saan nga iti sangoanan ti Dios.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Ta ania iti ibagbaga ti Nasantoan a Surat? “Pinati ni Abraham ti Dios, ket naibilang kenkuana daytoy a kas kinalinteg.”
4 Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.
Ita para kenkuana nga agtrabtrabaho, saan a naibilang a kas parabur ti tangdan, ngem kas nateggedan.
5 However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Ngem para kenkuana a saan nga agtrabtrabaho ngem ketdi mamati iti daydiay mangpalpalinteg iti saan a nadiosan, naibilang ti pammatina a kas kinalinteg.
6 And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Ibagbaga met ni David ti kinagasat ti tao nga ibilbilang ti Dios a nalinteg uray awan ti ar-aramidna.
7 “Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Kinunana, “Nagasat dagiti napakawan dagiti basbasolda, ken nakalluban dagiti basbasolda.
8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”
Nagasat ti tao a saanto nga ibilang ti Apo ti basolna.”
9 Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
Naibalikas laeng kadi ngarud daytoy a bendision kadagiti adda iti pannakakugit, wenno kasta met kadagiti awan iti pannakakugit? Ta ibagatayo, “Pammati ti nakaibilang kenni Abraham iti kinalinteg.”
10 In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.
Isu a kasano a naibilang daytoy? Idi adda ni Abraham iti pannakakugit wenno idi awan iti pannakakugit? Saan nga iti pannakakugit ngem iti saan a pannakakugit.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
Inawat ni Abraham ti pagilasinan ti pannakakugit. Daytoy ket selyo iti kinalinteg ti pammati a natagikuanan idi awan pay iti pannakakugit. Ti nagbanagan daytoy a pagilasinan ket nagbalin isuna nga ama dagiti amin a mamati, uray pay no addada iti saan a pannakakugit. Kayat a sawen a maibilangto ti kinalinteg para kadakuada.
12 And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
Kayat pay a sawen a nagbalin ni Abraham nga ama ti pannakakugit para kadagiti umay a saan laeng a kadagiti nagtaud iti pannakakugit, ngem kasta met kadagiti sumurot kadagiti addang ni amatayo nga Abraham. Ket daytoy ti pammati nga adda kenkuana idi awan pay iti pannakakugit.
13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
Ta saan a babaen iti linteg a naited ti kari kenni Abraham ken kadagiti kaputotanna, daytoy a kari nga agbalindanto a tagatawid ti lubong. Ngem ketdi, babaen iti kinalinteg ti pammati.
14 For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,
Ta no tagatawid dagiti adda iti linteg, nagbalinen nga awan serserbi ti pammati, ken awan metten ti nagmamaayan ti kari.
15 because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.
Ta iyeg ti linteg ti pungtot, ngem no sadino ti awan linteg, awan met ti saan a panagtulnog.
16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
Ta gapu iti daytoy, mapasamak daytoy babaen iti pammati, tapno mapasamak koma daytoy babaen iti parabur. Kas pagbanaganna, awan duadua iti kari para kadagiti amin a kaputotan. Ket karaman dagitoy a kaputotan saan laeng dagiti makaaammo ti linteg, ngem kasta met dagiti nagtaud iti pammati ni Abraham. Ta isuna ti Amatayo amin,
17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.
a kas naisurat, “Inaramidka nga ama iti adu a pagilian.” Adda ni Abraham iti presensiana a nagtalkanna, dayta ti Dios, a mangmangted iti biag kadagiti natay ken mangpaadda kadagiti banbanag nga awan.
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”
Uray pay adda dagiti saan a nasayaat a paspasamak, sitatalged a nagtalek ni Abraham iti Dios para iti masakbayan. Isu a nagbalin isuna nga Ama ti adu a pagilian, segun iti naibaga, “... Kas met kadagiti kaputotamto.”
19 Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.
Saan isuna a nakapuy iti pammati. Binigbig ni Abraham a natayen ti bagina—agarup sangagasut ti tawenna. Binigbigna met ti kinaawan serserbi ti aanakan ni Sarah.
20 Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
Ngem gapu iti kari ti Dios, saan a nagsarimadeng iti saan a panamati ni Abraham. Ngem ketdi, napapigsa iti pammatina ken nangted iti pammadayaw iti Dios.
21 being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.
Siaanay a naallukoy isuna a kabaelanna met nga ileppas ti inkari iti Dios.
22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Naibilang met ngarud kenkuana daytoy a kas kinalinteg.
23 Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,
Ita, saan laeng a naisurat daytoy para iti pagsayaatanna, naibilang daytoy para kenkuana.
24 but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
Naisurat met daytoy a para kadatayo, nga imbilang iti Dios a nalinteg, datayo a mamati kenkuana a nangpagungar kenni Jesus nga Apotayo manipud patay.
25 He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.
Daytoy ti naiyawat a para kadagiti basbasoltayo ken napagungar para iti pannakapalintegtayo.
