Romans 4
1 What do we then say that Abraham our father obtained by the flesh?
Twibetakujobha kiki kabhele kujha Abrahamu, dadi jhitu kwa namna jha mb'el'e, abhonekene?
2 for if Abraham were justified by works, he might boast; but not before God.
Kwa ndabha ikajhelayi Abrahamu abhalangibhu haki kwa matendo, na aajhe ni sababu jha kwitufya, lakini sio palongolo pa K'yara.
3 For what says the scripture? "And Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."
Kwani majhandiku ghijobhuli? “Abrahamu an'kyeriri K'yara na abhalangibhu kwa muene kujha haki.”
4 Now, to him who works, the reward is not counted as a favor, but as a debt.
Henu kwa munu jha ibhomba mbombo, mal'epu gha muene ghibhalangibhwa lepi kujha ni neema, bali kujha lideni.
5 But to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Lakini kwa munu jha ibhomba lepi mbombo jhojhioha bali akan'kiera muene ambajhe akambalangila haki jhaabeli kujha mtauwa, imani jha muene munu ojhu jhibalangibhu kujha haki.
6 In like manner, also, David describes the blessedness of the man to whom God counts righteousness without works: saying,
Daudi ni muene ijobha baraka panani pa munu ambajhe K'yara akambalangila haki bila matendo.
7 "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Ajobhili, “Bhabarikibhu bhala ambabho maovu gha bhene ghasamehibhu ni ambapo dhambi sya bhene sigupikibhu.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not count sin."
Abarikibhu munu jhola ambajhe Bwana akambalangila lepi dhambi.”
9 Does this blessedness come, then, on the circumcision only, or on the uncircumcision, also? for we affirm that faith was counted to Abraham for righteousness.
Basi je baraka e'se ndo kwa bhala bhabhatahiribhu tu, au kabhele ni kwa bhala bhabhabelikutahiribhwa? Kwa ndabha twijobha, “kwa Abrahamu imani jha muene jhabhalangiki kujha jha haki.”
10 How, then, was it counted? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Henu jhabhalangibhu bhuli? Wakati Abrahamu ajhele mu tohara, au bho akhona kutahiribhwa? Jhajhelepi mu kutahiribhwa, bali kubela kutahiribhwa.
11 And he received the mark of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith, which he had whilst uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all uncircumcised believers, that righteousness might be counted even to them.
Abrahamu apokili alama jha kutahiribhwa. Obho bhwajhele bhola muhuribhwa jhela haki jha amani jhaajhe nayu tayari kabla jha kutahiribhwa. Matokeo jha ishara ejhe ndo kwamba abhombiki kujha dadi ghwa bhoha bhabhikiera, hata kama bhajhele mu kutokutahiribhwa. Ejhe jhijhe ni maana kujha haki jhibetakubhalangibhwa kwa bhene.
12 And a father to the circumcised, who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had whilst in uncircumcision.
Ejhe kabhele jha maamisi kujha Abrahamu abhombiki kujha dadi ghwa tohara sio tu kwa bhala bhabhitokana ni tohara, bali bhala bhabhakasikesya nyayu sya dadijhitu Abrahamu. Na ejhe ndo imani jhaajhe najhu kwa bhabeli kutahiribhwa.
13 For the promise to Abraham, that he should be the heir of a world, was not to him, nor to his seed, through law; but through a righteousness of faith.
Kwa ndabha jha jhelepi kwa sheria kwamba ahadi jhahomesibhu kwa Abrahamu ni uzao bhwa muene, ahadi ejhe jha kujha bhibetakujha bharithi bha dunia. Isipokujha jhajhele kup'et'ela haki jha imani.
14 For if they who are of law are heirs; faith is rendered vain, and the promise is made of no effect.
Kwa maana kama bhala, bha sheria ndo bharithi, imani ijhele jha bhwaka, ni ahadi jhibatiliki.
15 Farther, the law works out wrath; but where law is not, there is no transgression.
Kwa ndabha sheria jhileta ghadhabu, lakini pala ambapo ijhelepi sheria, kabhele kujhelepi kutii.
16 For this reason, it is through faith that it might be by favor, that the promise might be sure to all the seed: not to that only which is of the law; but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all:
Kwa ndabha ejhe e'le lihomela kwa imani, ili ijhelayi kwa neema. Matokeo ghake, ahadi ndo dhahiri kwa uzao bhuha. Ni bhazawa abha sio tu bhala bhabhajhimanyi sheria, bali kabhele bhala ambabho ndo bha imani jha Abrahamu. Kwa maana muene ndo dadijhitu tete twebhoka,
17 (as it is written, "Surely a father of many nations have I constituted you,") in the presence of him whom he believed, even of God, who makes alive the dead, and calls things which exist not, as though they existed.
kama kyajhilembibhu, “Nikubhombili bhebhe kujha dadi ghwa mataifa ghamehele.” Abrahamu ajhele mu uwepo bhwa jhola jhaamwamini, yaani, K'yara ambajhe akabhapela bhanu uzima ni kughakuta mambo ambagho ghajhelepi ili ghabhwesiajhi kujha.
18 He, contrary to hope, believed with hope, that he should be a father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your seed be."
Licha jha hali syoha syakwibhala, Abrahamu kwa ujasiri an'kieriri K'yara kwa magono ghaghahideghe. Naha ajhele dadi ghwa mataifa ghamehele, kul'engana ni khela kyakyajobhibhu, “... Ndo kwawibetakujha uzao bhwa bhebhe.”
19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body now dead, being about a hundred years old; neither the deadness of Sarah's womb.
Muene ajhelepi dhaifu mu imani. Abrahamu ajobhili kujhamb'el'e ghwa muene bhwamalili kujha bhufwili - ajhele ni umuli kulibila miaka mia moja. Kabhele ajhedekili ni hali jha kufwa jha lileme lya Sara.
20 Therefore, against the promise of God, through unbelief, he did not dispute; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.
Lakini kwa ndabha jha ahadi jha K'yara, Abrahamu abelilepi kubela kukiera, bali apelibhu nghofu mu imani ni kun'tufya K'yara.
21 And was fully persuaded that what was promised, he was able to perform.
Ajhele amanyili bhukweli kujha khela ambakyo K'yara aahidi, ajhele kabhele ni bhuwezo bhwa kukikamilisya.
22 Therefore, also, it was counted to him for righteousness.
Henu ejhe kabhele jhabhalangibhu kwa muene kujha ndo haki.
23 Now it was not written for his sake only, that it was so counted,
Henu jhalembibhu lepi tu kwa faida jha muene, kujha jhabhalangibhu kwa muene.
24 even to those who believe on him who raised up Jesus, our Lord, from the dead;
Jhalembibhu kwa ndabha jha tete kabhele, kwa bhabhekibhu kubhalangibhwa tete ambabho twikiera kwa muene jha amfufuili Bwana bhitu Yesu kuhoma kwa bhafu.
25 who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised up again for our justification.
Ojho ndo jhola ambajhe apisibhu kwandabha jha makosa ghitu ni kufufulibhwa ili tukabhayi kubhalangibhwa haki.
