Romans 4
1 What, then, will we say Abraham our father to have found, according to flesh?
Egaa Abrahaam inni fooniin abbaa keenya taʼe sun haala kanaan maal argate jenna ree?
2 For if Abraham was declared righteous by works, he has to boast—but not before God;
Abrahaam utuu hojiin qajeelaa taasifamee jiraatee silaa waan ittiin of jaju qaba ture; fuula Waaqaa duratti garuu akkas miti.
3 for what does the writing say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness”;
Katabbiin Qulqulluun maal jedha? “Abrahaam Waaqa amane; kunis qajeelummaatti lakkaaʼameef.”
4 and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;
Nama hojjetu tokkoof Mindaan gatiidha malee akka kennaa tolaatti hin hedamu.
5 and to him who is not working, and is believing on Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned for righteousness—
Taʼus nama hin hojjenne, kan Waaqa isa nama hamaa qajeelaa taasisu amanatu garuu amantiin isaa qajeelummaatti lakkaaʼamaaf.
6 even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
Daawitis akka namni Waaqni qajeelummaa hojii malee argamu lakkaaʼuuf eebbifamaa taʼe yommuu dubbatu akkana jedha:
7 “Blessed [are] they whose lawless acts were forgiven, And whose sins were covered;
“Warri yakki isaanii dhiifameef, kanneen cubbuun isaanii haguugameef eebbifamoo dha.
8 Blessed [is] the man To whom the LORD may not reckon sin.”
Namni Gooftaan cubbuu isaa itti hin lakkoofne eebbifamaa dha.”
9 [Is] this blessedness, then, on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision—for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness?
Eebbi kun warra dhagna qabatan qofaaf moo warra dhagna hin qabatiniifis? Abrahaamiif amantiin isaa qajeelummaatti lakkaaʼame jenneerraatii.
10 How then was it reckoned? He being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
Kun egaa akkamitti isaaf lakkaaʼame ree? Erga inni dhagna qabatee moo duraanii? Durumaan malee erga dhagna qabate miti!
11 and he received a sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,
Inni mallattoo dhagna qabaa fudhate; kunis chaappaa qajeelummaa inni utuu dhagna hin qabatin dura amantiin argate sanaa ti. Kanaafis inni warra utuu dhagna hin qabatin amanan kanneen amantiin isaanii qajeelummaatti lakkaaʼameef hundaaf abbaa dha.
12 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of faith, that [is] in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
Akkasumas inni warra dhagna qabataniif, dhagna qabachuu qofas utuu hin taʼin warra karaa amantii abbaan keenya Abrahaam utuu dhagna hin qabatiniin dura fudhate sana duukaa buʼan hundaaf abbaa dha.
13 For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;
Abrahaamii fi sanyiin isaa waadaa akka inni dhaaltuu addunyaa taʼu kenname sana karaa qajeelummaa amantiin dhufuutiin argatan malee karaa seeraatiin miti.
14 for if they who are of law [are] heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been made useless;
Yoo warri seeratti bulan dhaaltota taʼan, amantiin gatii hin qabu; waadaanis homaa hin fayyaduutii;
15 for the Law works wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression.
kunis sababii seerri dheekkamsa fiduuf. Lafa seerri hin jirre yakki hin jiruutii.
16 Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the Law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,
Kanaafuu waadaan kun akka ayyaanaan taʼuu fi akka sanyii isaa hundaaf wabii taʼuuf amantii irratti hundeeffame; innis warra akka Abrahaam amananiif malee warra seeratti bulan qofaaf miti; Abrahaam abbaa hunduma keenyaa ti.
17 who is father of us all (according as it has been written: “A father of many nations I have set you,”) before Him whom he believed—God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that are not as being.
Kunis akkuma, “Ani abbaa saboota baayʼee si taasiseera” jedhamee barreeffamee dha. Abrahaam Waaqa amanate; innis Waaqa warra duʼaniif jireenya kennuu fi isa waan hin jirre akka waan jiruutti waamu sana duratti abbaa keenya.
18 Who, against hope, believed in hope, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: “So will your seed be”;
Abrahaamis akkuma, “Sanyiin kee akkas ni taʼa” jedhametti utuu abdiin tokko iyyuu hin jiraatin abdiidhaan amanee abbaa saboota baayʼee taʼe.
19 and having not been weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead (being about one hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb,
Innis akka umuriin isaa gara waggaa dhibbaa gaʼee dhagni isaa duʼe, akkasumas akka gadameessi Saaraa duʼe beeku illee amantii isaatti hin laafne.
20 and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,
Inni amantii isaatti jabaachuun Waaqaaf ulfina kenne malee amantii dhabuun waadaa Waaqaa hin shakkine;
21 and having been fully persuaded that what He has promised He is also able to do:
akka Waaqni waan waadaa gale raawwachuu dandaʼus guutumaan guutuutti hubateera.
22 for this reason also it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Kanaafuu, “Amantiin isaa qajeelummaatti isaaf lakkaaʼame.”
23 And it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,
Dubbiin, “Qajeelummaatti isaaf lakkaaʼame” jedhu kun Abrahaam qofaaf hin barreeffamne;
24 but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned—to us believing on Him who raised up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,
nuufis, warra Waaqa Gooftaa keenya Yesuusin warra duʼan keessaa kaase sanatti amannuufis, qajeelummaatti ni lakkaaʼama.
25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.
Yesuus cubbuu keenyaaf dabarfamee duʼatti kenname; qajeeltota nu taasisuuf immoo duʼaa kaafame.
