Romans 4
1 What shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh?
Twichova khikhi khwa Abrahamu, ubaba veto khunjila ya mbili, avomnikhe?
2 For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God.
Pakhuva u Abrahamu avalilewe ei lweli khunjila ya mbombo akhali eva nekhinu kya khwigin'wa sio khumiho ga Nguluve.
3 For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse.
UAbrahamu amuidikhe u Nguluve akha valili wa ei lweli ukhuva lweli.
4 Nowe to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by fauour, but by dette:
Lino khumunu uvivomba ei mbombo uluhombo lwa mwene saluvaliwa ukhuva lusayo, ila gwiva ikole.
5 But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse.
Nakhumunu uvivomba ei mbombo nukhumwidikha ula viavaheliwe ei lweli, yuywa sio igolofu, ulwidekho lwa munu uywa luvalili wa ukhuva haki.
6 Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying,
U Daudi vope inchova ulusayo pakianya pamunu uvi uyu u Nguluve ambalile ei lweli khunjila ya mbombo.
7 Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.
Achovile, “Vasayiwe vala avaimbivi ncha vene n'chisekheliwe nisambi n'cha vene n'chigube khiliwe.
8 Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne.
Asayiwe umunu ula uvi u Nguluve sikhu mbalila uvutula nongwa.
9 Came this blessednesse then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? For we say, that faith was imputed vnto Abraham for righteousnesse.
Puulusayo ulu lwa vanu ava keketwe vene, emo khuvala avasava keketiwe, pakhuvatwi n'chova, khwa Abrahamu ulwidikho lwa mwene luvaliliwe ukhuva lweli.”
10 Howe was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or vncircumcised? not when he was cricumcised, but when he was vncircumcised.
Pu avaliliue ndeti vu badusu keketiwe, ewo vusaakeketiwe? Salemumbu kegete vu badu sakeketiwe.
11 After, he receiued the signe of circumcision, as the seale of the righteousnesse of ye faith which he had, when he was vncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that beleeue, not being circumcised, that righteousnesse might be imputed to them also,
U Abrahamu apokhile alama hwani eikhwa khusita ukhu keketiwa gula gwali ei ng'uli gwa vuvilweli wa lwidekho uluale nalo tayari, vabadu sakeketiwe uluvonekhelo ulu vale njila ya khuvonekha ukhuva baba va voni. Avi khwidikha hata ndava ngave badu sava keketiwe.
12 And the father of circumcision, not vnto them onely which are of the circumcision, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had when he was vncircumcised.
Eyi yavonisye ukhuva uAbrahamu avombikhe ukhuva baba va vukeketie sio khuvala tu avavinogwa ukhu keketiwa bakhoila kuvala avavikhu n'chi konga ingendele n'cheto n'cha baba vito u Abrahamu. nulu lwidekho uluake nalwo khuvala ava savakeketiwe.
13 For the promise that he should be the heire of the worlde, was not giuen to Abraham, or to his seede, through the Lawe, but through the righteousnesse of faith.
Pakhuva salwale lulagilo ululwa home n'chiwe khwa Abrahamu na vana va mwene, ulwidehano ulu salwale ukhuta viva nuvu halie wa khilunga, ila lwale ukhugendela ei lweli ya lwidiko.
14 For if they which are of the Lawe, be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise is made of none effect.
Eingave vala ava ndagilo vuva vu hale, ulwidiko lwiva lusipali ei ahadi yave yebadelekhe.
15 For the Lawe causeth wrath: for where no Lawe is, there is no transgression.
Pakhuva indagilo n'chileta uluvipo, pakhuva pala upu ululagilo ukhupulikha khu sikhuli.
16 Therefore it is by faith, that it might come by grace, and the promise might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely which is of the Lawe: but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of vs all,
Khunjila eiye luleta ulwidikho ili luve khukhisa, pwu ululagilo ulu lwiva pavuvalafu pakhi vumbukho khoni navaholiwa ava sio vala avan'chi manyile eindagilo, ila vala ava lwidekho lwa Abrahamu. Pakhuva umwene vibaba veto twivoni.
17 (As it is written, I haue made thee a father of many nations) euen before God whom he beleeued, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those thinges which be not, as though they were.
Pakhuva vegiwe ei lwakhuta ni khukhuvikha u veve ukhuva baba vavingi ukhu konga khila eikhinchoviwe u Abrahamu ale uvo, pande waula ava amwidikhe yaani uNguluve uvikhuvapa avafyile uwomi nukhugavikha agasipaliukhwa pugale.
18 Which Abraham aboue hope, beleeued vnder hope, that he should be the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken to him, So shall thy seede be.
Paninei nicho n'choni n'cha khunje, u Abrahamu ale nuvu kifu amwidikhe uNguluve khusikhu n'chi khwincha akhava baba va vanu vingi, ukhukongana na khila ekhi n'choviwe,” Vuyiva khukhi vumbukho kyakho.
19 And he not weake in the faith, considered not his owne bodie, which was nowe dead, being almost an hundreth yeere olde, neither the deadnes of Saraes wombe.
Umwene ale pepe ndwidiko. UAbrahamu aidikhe ukhuva umbele gwa mwene yuywa gwa silile ukhu fya, ale ne miakha mia yimo. Pia alikubaliana na hali ya kufyakwa litumsu lwa Sara.
20 Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe, but was strengthened in the faith, and gaue glorie to God,
Ulwakhuva uNguluve alagile, uAbrahamu akhava mwidehin'chi akha va amagha mundweidikho nukhuginwa uNguluve.
21 Being fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to doe it.
Alumanyile ukhuta kila eikya lagile uNguluve alei nuvuwesyo uwa khutimesya.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse.
Eiye yuya vahiwe khumwene ukhuva lweli.
23 Nowe it is not written for him onely, that it was imputed to him for righteousnesse,
Sio gasimbiwe ukhuva faida ya mwene ukhuvaliliwa khumwene.
24 But also for vs, to whom it shalbe imputed for righteousnesse, which beleeue in him that raised vp Iesus our Lord from the dead,
Lwasimbiwe khwaajili yeto, nakhuvala ava avavavaliliwe ei mbalelo nufye avavikhwidekha ukhuta an'chusinche udada vito uYesu Klisite ukhuma khuvana avafule.
25 Who was deliuered to death for our sinnes, and is risen againe for our iustification.
Uyu viula uvi ahumenchiwe khunjila ya nongwa ncheto, nukhunchusiwa ili tukave ukhuvali hiwa ei lweli.
