Romans 4
1 What then shall we say that our father Abraham discovered, as a man?
| اَسْماکَں پُورْوَّپُرُشَ اِبْراہِیمْ کایِکَکْرِیَیا کِں لَبْدھَوانْ ایتَدَدھِ کِں وَدِشْیامَح؟ |
2 If Abraham was really justified by works, he has a boast—but not before God.
| سَ یَدِ نِجَکْرِیابھْیَح سَپُنْیو بھَویتْ تَرْہِ تَسْیاتْمَشْلاگھاں کَرْتُّں پَنْتھا بھَویدِتِ سَتْیَں، کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ سَمِیپے نَہِ۔ |
3 So what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
| شاسْتْرے کِں لِکھَتِ؟ اِبْراہِیمْ اِیشْوَرے وِشْوَسَناتْ سَ وِشْواسَسْتَسْمَے پُنْیارْتھَں گَنِتو بَبھُووَ۔ |
4 Now to him who works, the pay is not counted as a gift but as an obligation.
| کَرْمَّکارِنو یَدْ ویتَنَں تَدْ اَنُگْرَہَسْیَ پھَلَں نَہِ کِنْتُ تینوپارْجِتَں مَنْتَوْیَمْ۔ |
5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
| کِنْتُ یَح پاپِنَں سَپُنْیِیکَروتِ تَسْمِنْ وِشْواسِنَح کَرْمَّہِینَسْیَ جَنَسْیَ یو وِشْواسَح سَ پُنْیارْتھَں گَنْیو بھَوَتِ۔ |
6 Just as David speaks of the blessing of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
| اَپَرَں یَں کْرِیاہِینَمْ اِیشْوَرَح سَپُنْیِیکَروتِ تَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں دایُودْ وَرْنَیاماسَ، یَتھا، |
7 “Blessed are they whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered up.
| سَ دھَنْیوگھانِ مرِشْٹانِ یَسْیاگاںسْیاورِتانِ چَ۔ |
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin!”
| سَ چَ دھَنْیَح پَریشینَ پاپَں یَسْیَ نَ گَنْیَتے۔ |
9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? Since we say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness,
| ایشَ دھَنْیَوادَسْتْوَکْچھیدِنَمْ اَتْوَکْچھیدِنَں وا کَں پْرَتِ بھَوَتِ؟ اِبْراہِیمو وِشْواسَح پُنْیارْتھَں گَنِتَ اِتِ وَیَں وَدامَح۔ |
10 how then was it credited? After he was circumcised or while still uncircumcised? Not circumcised, but uncircumcised!
| سَ وِشْواسَسْتَسْیَ تْوَکْچھیدِتْواوَسْتھایاں کِمْ اَتْوَکْچھیدِتْواوَسْتھایاں کَسْمِنْ سَمَیے پُنْیَمِوَ گَنِتَح؟ تْوَکْچھیدِتْواوَسْتھایاں نَہِ کِنْتْوَتْوَکْچھیدِتْواوَسْتھایاں۔ |
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness from his faith while still uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all those who believe while uncircumcised, in order that this righteousness may be credited to them also,
| اَپَرَنْچَ سَ یَتْ سَرْوّیشامْ اَتْوَکْچھیدِناں وِشْواسِنامْ آدِپُرُشو بھَویتْ، تے چَ پُنْیَوَتّوینَ گَنْییرَنْ؛ |
12 and the father of the circumcised—not only those who are circumcised, but especially those who follow in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham while still uncircumcised.
| یے چَ لوکاح کیوَلَں چھِنَّتْوَچو نَ سَنْتو سْمَتْپُورْوَّپُرُشَ اِبْراہِیمْ اَچھِنَّتْوَکْ سَنْ یینَ وِشْواسَمارْگینَ گَتَوانْ تینَیوَ تَسْیَ پادَچِہْنینَ گَچّھَنْتِ تیشاں تْوَکْچھیدِنامَپْیادِپُرُشو بھَویتْ تَدَرْتھَمْ اَتْوَکْچھیدِنو مانَوَسْیَ وِشْواساتْ پُنْیَمْ اُتْپَدْیَتَ اِتِ پْرَمانَسْوَرُوپَں تْوَکْچھیدَچِہْنَں سَ پْراپْنوتْ۔ |
13 Now the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham, or his seed, through law, but through the righteousness of faith.
| اِبْراہِیمْ جَگَتودھِکارِی بھَوِشْیَتِ یَیشا پْرَتِجْنا تَں تَسْیَ وَںشَنْچَ پْرَتِ پُورْوَّمْ اَکْرِیَتَ سا وْیَوَسْتھامُولِکا نَہِ کِنْتُ وِشْواسَجَنْیَپُنْیَمُولِکا۔ |
14 For if those who are of law are heirs, the faith is made empty and the promise has been invalidated;
| یَتو وْیَوَسْتھاوَلَمْبِنو یَدْیَدھِکارِنو بھَوَنْتِ تَرْہِ وِشْواسو وِپھَلو جایَتے سا پْرَتِجْناپِ لُپْتَیوَ۔ |
15 because the law produces wrath, since where there is no law neither is there transgression.
| اَدھِکَنْتُ وْیَوَسْتھا کوپَں جَنَیَتِ یَتو وِدْیَمانایاں وْیَوَسْتھایامْ آجْنالَنْگھَنَں نَ سَمْبھَوَتِ۔ |
16 For this reason it is of faith so that it may be according to grace, in order that the promise be guaranteed to all the seed—not only to those of law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all;
| اَتَایوَ سا پْرَتِجْنا یَدْ اَنُگْرَہَسْیَ پھَلَں بھَویتْ تَدَرْتھَں وِشْواسَمُولِکا یَتَسْتَتھاتْوے تَدْوَںشَسَمُدایَں پْرَتِ اَرْتھَتو یے وْیَوَسْتھَیا تَدْوَںشَسَمْبھَواح کیوَلَں تانْ پْرَتِ نَہِ کِنْتُ یَ اِبْراہِیمِییَوِشْواسینَ تَتْسَمْبھَواسْتانَپِ پْرَتِ سا پْرَتِجْنا سْتھاسْنُرْبھَوَتِ۔ |
17 just as it is written: “I have made you a father of many ethnic nations”—in the presence of Him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead and calls the nonexistent things as though they did exist.
| یو نِرْجِیوانْ سَجِیوانْ اَوِدْیَمانانِ وَسْتُونِ چَ وِدْیَمانانِ کَروتِ اِبْراہِیمو وِشْواسَبھُومیسْتَسْییشْوَرَسْیَ ساکْشاتْ سوسْماکَں سَرْوّیشامْ آدِپُرُشَ آسْتے، یَتھا لِکھِتَں وِدْیَتے، اَہَں تْواں بَہُجاتِینامْ آدِپُرُشَں کرِتْوا نِیُکْتَوانْ۔ |
18 Contrary to hope, Abraham in hope believed, so as to become a father of many ethnic nations, according to what had been spoken: “So shall your seed be.”
| تْوَدِییَسْتادرِشو وَںشو جَنِشْیَتے یَدِدَں واکْیَں پْرَتِشْرُتَں تَدَنُسارادْ اِبْراہِیمْ بَہُدیشِییَلوکانامْ آدِپُرُشو یَدْ بھَوَتِ تَدَرْتھَں سونَپیکْشِتَوْیَمَپْیَپیکْشَمانو وِشْواسَں کرِتَوانْ۔ |
19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (being about a hundred years old), or the deadness of Sarah's womb.
| اَپَرَنْچَ کْشِینَوِشْواسو نَ بھُوتْوا شَتَوَتْسَرَوَیَسْکَتْواتْ سْوَشَرِیرَسْیَ جَراں سارانامْنَح سْوَبھارْیّایا رَجونِورِتِّنْچَ ترِنایَ نَ مینے۔ |
20 He did not waver at God's promise in unbelief; rather, he was strengthened by the faith, giving glory to God,
| اَپَرَمْ اَوِشْواسادْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَتِجْناوَچَنے کَمَپِ سَںشَیَں نَ چَکارَ؛ |
21 being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform
| کِنْتْوِیشْوَرینَ یَتْ پْرَتِشْرُتَں تَتْ سادھَیِتُں شَکْیَتَ اِتِ نِشْچِتَں وِجْنایَ درِڈھَوِشْواسَح سَنْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مَہِمانَں پْرَکاشَیانْچَکارَ۔ |
22 —that is why it was credited to him as righteousness.
| اِتِ ہیتوسْتَسْیَ سَ وِشْواسَسْتَدِییَپُنْیَمِوَ گَنَیانْچَکْرے۔ |
23 Now it was not only for his sake that it was written that it was credited to him,
| پُنْیَمِواگَنْیَتَ تَتْ کیوَلَسْیَ تَسْیَ نِمِتَّں لِکھِتَں نَہِ، اَسْماکَں نِمِتَّمَپِ، |
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, we who believe on Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
| یَتوسْماکَں پاپَناشارْتھَں سَمَرْپِتوسْماکَں پُنْیَپْراپْتْیَرْتھَنْچوتّھاپِتوبھَوَتْ یوسْماکَں پْرَبھُ رْیِیشُسْتَسْیوتّھاپَیِتَرِیشْوَری |
25 who was delivered up because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.
| یَدِ وَیَں وِشْوَسامَسْتَرْہْیَسْماکَمَپِ سَایوَ وِشْواسَح پُنْیَمِوَ گَنَیِشْیَتے۔ |
