Romans 4
1 What, then, will we say Abraham our father to have found, according to flesh?
ཨསྨཱཀཾ པཱུཪྻྭཔུརུཥ ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམ྄ ཀཱཡིཀཀྲིཡཡཱ ཀིཾ ལབྡྷཝཱན྄ ཨེཏདདྷི ཀིཾ ཝདིཥྱཱམཿ?
2 For if Abraham was declared righteous by works, he has to boast—but not before God;
ས ཡདི ནིཛཀྲིཡཱབྷྱཿ སཔུཎྱོ བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏརྷི ཏསྱཱཏྨཤླཱགྷཱཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ པནྠཱ བྷཝེདིཏི སཏྱཾ, ཀིནྟྭཱིཤྭརསྱ སམཱིཔེ ནཧི།
3 for what does the writing say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness”;
ཤཱསྟྲེ ཀིཾ ལིཁཏི? ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརེ ཝིཤྭསནཱཏ྄ ས ཝིཤྭཱསསྟསྨཻ པུཎྱཱརྠཾ གཎིཏོ བབྷཱུཝ།
4 and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;
ཀརྨྨཀཱརིཎོ ཡད྄ ཝེཏནཾ ཏད྄ ཨནུགྲཧསྱ ཕལཾ ནཧི ཀིནྟུ ཏེནོཔཱརྫིཏཾ མནྟཝྱམ྄།
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—
ཀིནྟུ ཡཿ པཱཔིནཾ སཔུཎྱཱིཀརོཏི ཏསྨིན྄ ཝིཤྭཱསིནཿ ཀརྨྨཧཱིནསྱ ཛནསྱ ཡོ ཝིཤྭཱསཿ ས པུཎྱཱརྠཾ གཎྱོ བྷཝཏི།
6 even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
ཨཔརཾ ཡཾ ཀྲིཡཱཧཱིནམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརཿ སཔུཎྱཱིཀརོཏི ཏསྱ དྷནྱཝཱདཾ དཱཡཱུད྄ ཝརྞཡཱམཱས, ཡཐཱ,
7 “Blessed [are] they whose lawless acts were forgiven, And whose sins were covered;
ས དྷནྱོ྅གྷཱནི མྲྀཥྚཱནི ཡསྱཱགཱཾསྱཱཝྲྀཏཱནི ཙ།
8 Blessed [is] the man To whom the LORD may not reckon sin.”
ས ཙ དྷནྱཿ པརེཤེན པཱཔཾ ཡསྱ ན གཎྱཏེ།
9 [Is] this blessedness, then, on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision—for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness?
ཨེཥ དྷནྱཝཱདསྟྭཀྪེདིནམ྄ ཨཏྭཀྪེདིནཾ ཝཱ ཀཾ པྲཏི བྷཝཏི? ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམོ ཝིཤྭཱསཿ པུཎྱཱརྠཾ གཎིཏ ཨིཏི ཝཡཾ ཝདཱམཿ།
10 How then was it reckoned? He being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
ས ཝིཤྭཱསསྟསྱ ཏྭཀྪེདིཏྭཱཝསྠཱཡཱཾ ཀིམ྄ ཨཏྭཀྪེདིཏྭཱཝསྠཱཡཱཾ ཀསྨིན྄ སམཡེ པུཎྱམིཝ གཎིཏཿ? ཏྭཀྪེདིཏྭཱཝསྠཱཡཱཾ ནཧི ཀིནྟྭཏྭཀྪེདིཏྭཱཝསྠཱཡཱཾ།
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,
ཨཔརཉྩ ས ཡཏ྄ སཪྻྭེཥཱམ྄ ཨཏྭཀྪེདིནཱཾ ཝིཤྭཱསིནཱམ྄ ཨཱདིཔུརུཥོ བྷཝེཏ྄, ཏེ ཙ པུཎྱཝཏྟྭེན གཎྱེརན྄;
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.
ཡེ ཙ ལོཀཱཿ ཀེཝལཾ ཚིནྣཏྭཙོ ན སནྟོ ྅སྨཏྤཱུཪྻྭཔུརུཥ ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམ྄ ཨཚིནྣཏྭཀ྄ སན྄ ཡེན ཝིཤྭཱསམཱརྒེཎ གཏཝཱན྄ ཏེནཻཝ ཏསྱ པཱདཙིཧྣེན གཙྪནྟི ཏེཥཱཾ ཏྭཀྪེདིནཱམཔྱཱདིཔུརུཥོ བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏདརྠམ྄ ཨཏྭཀྪེདིནོ མཱནཝསྱ ཝིཤྭཱསཱཏ྄ པུཎྱམ྄ ཨུཏྤདྱཏ ཨིཏི པྲམཱཎསྭརཱུཔཾ ཏྭཀྪེདཙིཧྣཾ ས པྲཱཔྣོཏ྄།
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;
ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམ྄ ཛགཏོ྅དྷིཀཱརཱི བྷཝིཥྱཏི ཡཻཥཱ པྲཏིཛྙཱ ཏཾ ཏསྱ ཝཾཤཉྩ པྲཏི པཱུཪྻྭམ྄ ཨཀྲིཡཏ སཱ ཝྱཝསྠཱམཱུལིཀཱ ནཧི ཀིནྟུ ཝིཤྭཱསཛནྱཔུཎྱམཱུལིཀཱ།
14 for if they who are of law [are] heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been made useless;
ཡཏོ ཝྱཝསྠཱཝལམྦིནོ ཡདྱདྷིཀཱརིཎོ བྷཝནྟི ཏརྷི ཝིཤྭཱསོ ཝིཕལོ ཛཱཡཏེ སཱ པྲཏིཛྙཱཔི ལུཔྟཻཝ།
15 for the Law works wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression.
ཨདྷིཀནྟུ ཝྱཝསྠཱ ཀོཔཾ ཛནཡཏི ཡཏོ ྅ཝིདྱམཱནཱཡཱཾ ཝྱཝསྠཱཡཱམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱལངྒྷནཾ ན སམྦྷཝཏི།
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,
ཨཏཨེཝ སཱ པྲཏིཛྙཱ ཡད྄ ཨནུགྲཧསྱ ཕལཾ བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏདརྠཾ ཝིཤྭཱསམཱུལིཀཱ ཡཏསྟཐཱཏྭེ ཏདྭཾཤསམུདཱཡཾ པྲཏི ཨརྠཏོ ཡེ ཝྱཝསྠཡཱ ཏདྭཾཤསམྦྷཝཱཿ ཀེཝལཾ ཏཱན྄ པྲཏི ནཧི ཀིནྟུ ཡ ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམཱིཡཝིཤྭཱསེན ཏཏྶམྦྷཝཱསྟཱནཔི པྲཏི སཱ པྲཏིཛྙཱ སྠཱསྣུརྦྷཝཏི།
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.
ཡོ ནིརྫཱིཝཱན྄ སཛཱིཝཱན྄ ཨཝིདྱམཱནཱནི ཝསྟཱུནི ཙ ཝིདྱམཱནཱནི ཀརོཏི ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམོ ཝིཤྭཱསབྷཱུམེསྟསྱེཤྭརསྱ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ སོ྅སྨཱཀཾ སཪྻྭེཥཱམ྄ ཨཱདིཔུརུཥ ཨཱསྟེ, ཡཐཱ ལིཁིཏཾ ཝིདྱཏེ, ཨཧཾ ཏྭཱཾ བཧུཛཱཏཱིནཱམ྄ ཨཱདིཔུརུཥཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ནིཡུཀྟཝཱན྄།
18 Who, against hope, believed in hope, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: “So will your seed be”;
ཏྭདཱིཡསྟཱདྲྀཤོ ཝཾཤོ ཛནིཥྱཏེ ཡདིདཾ ཝཱཀྱཾ པྲཏིཤྲུཏཾ ཏདནུསཱརཱད྄ ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམ྄ བཧུདེཤཱིཡལོཀཱནཱམ྄ ཨཱདིཔུརུཥོ ཡད྄ བྷཝཏི ཏདརྠཾ སོ྅ནཔེཀྵིཏཝྱམཔྱཔེཀྵམཱཎོ ཝིཤྭཱསཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
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,
ཨཔརཉྩ ཀྵཱིཎཝིཤྭཱསོ ན བྷཱུཏྭཱ ཤཏཝཏྶརཝཡསྐཏྭཱཏ྄ སྭཤརཱིརསྱ ཛརཱཾ སཱརཱནཱམྣཿ སྭབྷཱཪྻྱཱཡཱ རཛོནིཝྲྀཏྟིཉྩ ཏྲྀཎཱཡ ན མེནེ།
20 and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,
ཨཔརམ྄ ཨཝིཤྭཱསཱད྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ པྲཏིཛྙཱཝཙནེ ཀམཔི སཾཤཡཾ ན ཙཀཱར;
21 and having been fully persuaded that what He has promised He is also able to do:
ཀིནྟྭཱིཤྭརེཎ ཡཏ྄ པྲཏིཤྲུཏཾ ཏཏ྄ སཱདྷཡིཏུཾ ཤཀྱཏ ཨིཏི ནིཤྩིཏཾ ཝིཛྙཱཡ དྲྀཌྷཝིཤྭཱསཿ སན྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མཧིམཱནཾ པྲཀཱཤཡཱཉྩཀཱར།
22 for this reason also it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
ཨིཏི ཧེཏོསྟསྱ ས ཝིཤྭཱསསྟདཱིཡཔུཎྱམིཝ གཎཡཱཉྩཀྲེ།
23 And it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,
པུཎྱམིཝཱགཎྱཏ ཏཏ྄ ཀེཝལསྱ ཏསྱ ནིམིཏྟཾ ལིཁིཏཾ ནཧི, ཨསྨཱཀཾ ནིམིཏྟམཔི,
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,
ཡཏོ྅སྨཱཀཾ པཱཔནཱཤཱརྠཾ སམརྤིཏོ྅སྨཱཀཾ པུཎྱཔྲཱཔྟྱརྠཉྩོཏྠཱཔིཏོ྅བྷཝཏ྄ ཡོ྅སྨཱཀཾ པྲབྷུ ཪྻཱིཤུསྟསྱོཏྠཱཔཡིཏརཱིཤྭརེ
25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.
ཡདི ཝཡཾ ཝིཤྭསཱམསྟརྷྱསྨཱཀམཔི སཨེཝ ཝིཤྭཱསཿ པུཎྱམིཝ གཎཡིཥྱཏེ།
