Romans 4
1 What, then, may we say that Abraham, our father after the flesh, has got?
Echaikaki lindi ati Abrahamu, Lata weswe okulubhana no mubhili, abhonekene?
2 For if Abraham got righteousness by works, he has reason for pride; but not before God.
Kulwo kubha alabha Abrahamu abhaliywe obhulengelesi kwe bhikolwa, akabhee na insonga yo kwikuya, mbe nawe atali imbele ya Nyamuanga.
3 But what does it say in the holy Writings? And Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
Kaoli amaandiko agaika ki? “Abrahamu amwikilisishe Nyamuanga, na nabhalilwa ku mwene kubha mulengelesi.”
4 Now, the reward is credited to him who does works, not as of grace but as a debt.
Mbe woli kwo munu unu kakola emilimu, omuyelo gwaye gutakubhalwa ati ni chigongo, mbe nawe ati ni bhanja.
5 But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.
Mbe nawe ku munu unu atakola milimu nawe namwikilisha mwenene unu kamubhalila obhulengelesi unu atali mwelu, elikilisha lyaye omumukingila nabhalilwa kubha mulengelesi.
6 As David says that there is a blessing on the man to whose account God puts righteousness without works, saying,
Daudi one kaika amabhando ingulu yo munu unu Nyamuanga kamubhalila obhulengelesi bhunu bhutali mu bhikolwa.
7 Happy are those who have forgiveness for their wrongdoing, and whose sins are covered.
Aikile, “Bhana libhando bhaliya bhanu obhubhibhi bhwebhwe bhyeswaliliywe na bhanu ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe bhyabhisilwe.
8 Happy is the man against whom no sin is recorded by the Lord.
Ana libhando omunu ulya unu Latabhugenyi atamubhalila chibhibhi.”
9 Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.
Mbe angu amabhando ganu nikubhaliya bhanu bhatendelwe-la, amwi one na kubhaliya bhanu bhatatendelwe? Kulwo kubha echaika, “Ku Abrahamu okwikilisha kwaye kwabhaliywe kubha bhulengelesi.
10 How, then, was it judged? when he had circumcision, or when he had it not? Not when he had it, but when he did not have it:
Kwibhyo woli bhyabhaliywe atiki? kenu mumwanya Abrahamu aliga ali mu lutendo, amwi achali kutendwa? (Jaliga jitali mu kutendwa, nawe mubhutatendwa.)
11 And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to their account;
Abulaamu ayaywe echibhalikisho cho lutendo. Lunu lwaliga luli lwa bhusibhusi lwa bhulia obhulengelesi obho aliga nabho bhwangu achali okutendwa. okubhonekana echibhalikisho chinu ni ati akolekene okubha lata wa bhona abhekilisha, nolwo kutyo bhali mu lutendo. Inu uli na isonga ati obhulengelesi obhubhalwa kubhene.
12 And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who keep to the way of that faith which our father Abraham had before he underwent circumcision.
Inu ona yelesishe ati Abulaamu akolekene lata wo lutendo atalila ati ku bhaliya abho abhabhonekana no lutendo, atali ona bhalia abho abhabhiilubha ebhigele bhya lata weswe Aburaamu. Na linu nilyo elikilisha linu aliga analyo kwa bho bhaliga bhatatendelwe.
13 For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Ku lwokubha yaliga itali kwe bhilagilo ati omulago gwasosibhwe ku Aburaamu no lwibhulo lwae, omulago gunu nati abhabha bhali bho bhwandu gwe Chalo. Atali yaliga ili kulwokulabha kwo bhulengesi bhwe likilisha.
14 For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;
Ku lwokubha alabha bhalia abhebhilagilo nibho abhalya omwandu, elikilisha ni Lya kutyo-ela, no mulango ona ni gwa kutyo -ela.
15 For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.
Kunsonga ebhileta lisungu, nawe alia anu bhitali bhilagilo, ona( kutalio okusiga okubhayana.)
16 For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
Ku songa inu linu elibhonekana kwe likilisha, koleleki ibhwe yechigongo. Okubhonekana kwebhyo, omulago guli abhwelu ku lwibhulo lwona. Na bhwebhulwa bhanu bhatali ati ni bhalia abho abhamenya ebhilagilo, nawe one ni bhalya abho ni bhelikisha lya Aburaamu. Ku lwokubha omwenene ni lata weswe eswe bhona,
17 (As it is said in the holy Writings, I have made you a father of a number of nations) before him in whom he had faith, that is, God, who gives life to the dead, and to whom the things which are not are as if they were.
Lwakutyo jandikilwe,”Nakukola awe okubha lata wa Maanga mafu.”Aburaamu aliga amuliko unu amwikilisishe, niwe, Nyamuanga oyo kabhayana abhafue obhuanga no kugabhilikila amasango ago gatalio koleleki gatule okubhao
18 Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be.
Okusigana Nejo jone ejaanja, Aburaamu kwo bhubhasi amwikilsishe Nyamuanga kusiku ejo jilija. kutyo nabha lata wa Maanga mafu, okulubhana na chiliya chaikilwe,”... Nikwo kutyo lulibha olwibhulo lwao.”
19 And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead (he being about a hundred years old) and Sarah was no longer able to have children:
Omwene alga atalegae mulikilisha. Aburaamu ekilisishe ati omubhili gwaye gulamalile okufwa- aliga nalebhelela okukingya Mwaka egana limwi. Ona ekilishanyishe nejo lufu lwa inda ya Sara.
20 Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,
Mbe nawe kulwa insonga ye milago ja Nyamuanga, Abrahamu (atalindiliye) mu bhunyatekilisha. nawe, ayanilwe amanaga mu likilisha no kumukusha Nyamuanga.
21 And being certain that God was able to keep his word.
Aliga namenya echimali ati chiliya chinu Nyamuanga alagile, one aliga ali no bhutulo bhwo kuchikumisha.
22 For which reason it was put to his account as righteousness.
Kulwejo jinu jone jabhalilwe mu mwene kubha jo bhulengelesi.
23 Now, it was not because of him only that this was said,
Mbe woli itandikilwela kwa mabhona gae, ati jabhaliywe ku mwene.
24 But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,
Jandikilwe ingulu yeswe one, bhanu bhaliga bhateyweo okubhalilwa, eswe bhanu echikilisha mu mwene unu amusuluye Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu okusoka mubhafuye.
25 Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.
Unu ni ulya unu asosibhwe ingulu ye bhikayo bhyeswe no kusululwa koleleki chibhone okubhalilwa obhulengelesi.
