Romans 4
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
Hinu tijova wuli, ndava ya Ibulahimu gogo witu? Ajiwulili kyani?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
Muni ngati Ibulahimu avalangiwi ubwina palongolo ya Chapanga kwa gala geakitili, ngaavili na chindu cha kumekela, nambu lepi palongolo ya Chapanga.
3 For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
Ndava muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Ibulahimu amusadiki Chapanga, ndi mwene Chapanga amuyidikili kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki.”
4 Now to the one who works, the pay is not counted as a gift, but as an obligation.
Muhenga lihengu ilipwa luhuna, luhuna lwaki lepi njombi nambu ndi chindu cheiganikiwa kupewa.
5 But to him who does not work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Nambu mundu mwangahuvalila matendu gaki mwene, nambu akumsadika Chapanga mweakuvakita vabudanu kuvya vangabuda, hinu Chapanga akuyidakila sadika ya mundu mwenuyo, akumyidakila kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki.
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,
Na mwene Daudi ajovili chindu chichichi, luheku lwa mundu yula Chapanga mweakumyidakila kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki changalola matendu gaki.
7 "Happy are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
“Vamotisiwi vala vevalekekiswi uhakau wavi, kumbudila kwavi Chapanga kuwusiwi.
8 Happy is the one whom the Lord will not charge with sin."
Amotisiwi mundu yula, ndi BAMBU ivalanga lepi kubuda kwaki.”
9 Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.
Wu, kumotisiwa kwenuko yeajovili Daudi ndi vandu vevadumwili jandu vene? Lepi mewawa vandu vangadumula jandu. Ngati chenalongolili kujova, “Ibulahimu amsadiki Chapanga na kwa sadika yaki Chapanga amvalangili kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki.”
10 How then was it credited? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Wu, Ibulahimu ayidakiwi kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga peavi akona kudumula jandu amala peamali kudumula jandu? Kwakona kudumuliwa jandu, na lepi peamalili kudumuliwa jandu.
11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, so that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be credited to them.
Ibulahimu adumwili jandu mwanakandahi, na kudumula jandu kwaki kwavili ulangisu kuvya Chapanga amyidikili kuvya mbwina ndava ya kusadika kwaki kwakona kudumula jandu. Hinu, Ibulahimu avi Dadi wa vandu voha vevakumsadika Chapanga, hati ngati vangadumula jandu, muni Chapanga avavalangila ubwina palongolo yaki.
12 The father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
Mewawa Ibulahimu ndi Dadi wa vala vevadumwili jandu, nambu lepi ndava ya kudumula jandu ndu, ndi ndava vilanda njila yilayila ya sadika yeavi nayu Dadi witu Ibulahimu kwakona angadumula jandu.
13 For the promise to Abraham and to his descendants that he should be heir of the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Ndava muni chealagini Chapanga kuvya yati ukuuhala mulima yabweli lepi kwa Ibulahimu amala mu chiveleku chaki kwa kuyidakila Malagizu nambu mu njila ya kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga yeyibwela kwa sadika.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
Ngati chealagazili Chapanga chipokelewa na vandu veviyidakila Malagizu ndu, hinu sadika chindu lepi.
15 For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
Malagizu gileta ligoga la Chapanga, malagizu ngati kawaka, ngakuvi lepi kudenya Malagizu.
16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the descendants, 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.
Ndava yeniyo, chila chealagini Chapanga chibwela kwa sadika, genago geajovili gihuma mu ubwina waki, na ndi ulangisu wa kulangisa kuvya ndi chakaka kulagana kwenuko ndava ya viveleku vyaki, lepi ndava ya vala vevikamula Malagizu ndu, ndi mewawa kwa vevisadika ngati cheakitili Ibulahimu, mweavili Dadi witu tavoha.
17 As it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
Ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Nikuhagwili uvyai Dadi wa makabila gamahele.” Mwene ndi Dadi witu palongolo ya Chapanga mweamsadiki. Chapanga mweakuvapela vevafwili wumi, na kwa amuli yaki, vindu vyangavya vivya.
18 Who hoped in spite of hopeless circumstances, with the result that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "so will your descendants be."
Hati payavili kawaka chindu chechamkitili Ibulahimu ahuvalila chila chealagini Chapanga, Ibulahimu amusadiki Chapanga na kulihuvalila lilaganu, ndi akavya dadi wa makabila goha. Ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Chiveleku chaku yati chivya chamahele ngati ndondo.”
19 And not being weak in faith, he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
Ibulahimu avili mgogolo neju, miyaka yahegalili miya yimonga nambu mwene asadiki neju, hati ngati amanyili ihotola lepi kupata mwana ndava higa yaki yavili ngati yifwili, na mdala waki Sala avili ngaveleka,
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he did not waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
Ibulahimu alekili lepi kulisadika lilaganu la Chapanga na alyungi lyungili lepi apatili makakala ndava ya sadika yaki, akamulumba Chapanga.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Chakaka amanyili ngati Chapanga ihotola kugakita gala gealagini nayu.
22 And therefore "it was credited to him as righteousness."
Ndava ya sadika yaki, “Chapanga amvalangili Ibulahimu kuvya mundu mbwina palongolo yaki.”
23 Now it was not written that it was credited to him for his sake alone,
Malovi aga, “Avalangiwi ubwina palongolo ya Chapanga,” Gayandikwi lepi ndava ya Ibulahimu mwene,
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, who believe in him who raised Yeshua our Lord from the dead,
genaga tayandikiwi tete vetivalangiwi vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga, tete vetikumsadika amuyukisi Yesu, BAMBU witu, kuhuma kwevafwili.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Mwene awusiwi akomiwa ndava ya kubuda kwitu, kangi ayukili muni tivalangiwa kuvya tavabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
