Romans 4
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
Su twenga tutakuli hashi kuusu Aburahamu mbuyi gwetu?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
Handa Aburahamu katenditwi kamfiriziyi Mlungu kulawirana na vitwatira vyakatenditi, su yomberi kana shintu sha kulitumbira, kumbiti kulongolu ndiri kwa Mlungu.
3 For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
Toziya Mumalembu Mananagala galembwa, “Aburahamu kamjimiriti Mlungu, Mlungu kumtenda muheri kulongolu kwakuwi toziya ya njimiru yakuwi.”
4 Now to the one who works, the pay is not counted as a gift, but as an obligation.
Muntu yakatenda lihengu wamupa shibenamgongu, shibenamgongu shakuwi lifupu ndiri, kumbiti ndo shintu shakafiruwa kupananwa.
5 But to him who does not work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Wantu woseri yawalitumbira munjimiru, walitumbira ndiri matendu, kumbiti wamjimiri Mlungu yakawalekiziya vidoda, su Mlungu kawona njimiru ya wantu awa na kuwatenda waweri waheri kulongolu kwakuwi.
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,
Na Dawudi katakuliti hangu kuusu nemeleru ya muntu ulii, Mlungu kamtenda kuwera muheri kulongolu kwakuwi pota kugashera matendu gakuwi.
7 "Happy are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
“Mbaka walii yawalegiziwitwi vidoda vyawu, walii vidoda vyawu viwusilirwa!
8 Happy is the one whom the Lord will not charge with sin."
Mbaka muntu ulii, Mtuwa hapeni kawalangi vidoda vyakuwi.”
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.
Hashi, matekeleru gakalongiti Dawudi kuusu wantu yawayingiziyitwi jandu hera? Ndala! Shitwatira ashi shiwawusu viraa wantu woseri yawayingiziyitwi ndiri jandu. Kwatwenga tusomiti mumalembu Mananagala, “Aburahamu kamjimiriti Mlungu na toziya ya njimiru yakuwi, Mlungu kamtenda kaweri muheri kulongolu kwakuwi.”
10 How then was it credited? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Hashi, Aburahamu kajimiritwi pamberi pa kwingiziwa jandu, ama pakingiziwitwi kala jandu? Yomberi kajimiritwi pamberi pa kwingiziwa 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.
Aburahamu kingizitwi jandu shakapanu, na kwingiziwa jandu aku kuweriti lilangaliru lya kulanguziya Mlungu kamtenditi kuwera muheri kulongolu kwakuwi toziya ya njimiru yakuwi yakaweriti nayu pamberi pa kwingiziwa jandu. Su Aburahamu kawera tati gwa shirohu kwa wantu woseri yawamjimira Mlungu na yawatenditwi na Mlungu kuwera waheri kulongolu kwakuwi ata weni pawayingiziwitwi ndiri jandu.
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.
Vilaa yomberi ndo tati gwa wantu woseri yawayingiziwitwi jandu, ndoweni walii yawayingiziwitwi ndiri jandu hera, kumbiti walii yawafata njimiru ilii yakaweriti nayu tati gwetu gwa shirohu Aburahamu pamberi pa kwingiziwa 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.
Mlungu pakamlagiliti Aburahamu na shileri shakuwi kuwera pasipanu meiweri pawu, su mweni katenditi, toziya ndiri ya Aburahamu kujimira Lilagaliru kumbiti toziya yomberi kajimiriti na katenditwi na Mlungu kuwera muheri kulongolu kwakuwi kwa njimiru.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
Handa shilii shakalagiliti Mlungu shiwera sha wantu walii yawajimira Lilagaliru, su njimiru hapeni iweri shintu na kwakalagiliti Mlungu hakuweri kwahera mana.
15 For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
Malagaliru gajega maya ga Mlungu, kumbiti handa kwahera malagaliru, hapeni kuweri na vidoda.
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.
Su lagilu lilawirana na njimiru, viraa lilawirana na manemu ga Mlungu kwa mbereka zyoseri zya Aburahamu, kwa wantu ndiri walii yawajimira lilagaliru kumbiti viraa kwa wantu walii yawajimira ntambu pakatenditi Aburahamu, toziya Aburahamu ndo tati gwa twoseri twenga.
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.
Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Nukutenda guweri tati gwa isi zivuwa.” Yomberi ndo tati gwetu kulongolu kwa Mlungu, ndomweni Aburahamu yakamjimira Mlungu yakawapananiti ukomu walii yawahowiti na amuli zyakuwi muvitwatira vyaviweriti ndiri, su viwera.
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."
Aburahamu kajimiriti na kulitumbira, ata pakuweriti kwahera toziya ya kulitumbira, su kawera “Tati gwa isi zivuwa,” ntambu Malembu Mananagala galembwa, “Mbereka yaku hayiweri shivuwa gambira ntondu.”
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.
Yomberi kaweriti mgogolu gwa umuli gwa vinja miya hangu, kumbiti njimiru yakuwi izotopa ndiri, tembera kavimani kuwera hapeni kapati mwana, viraa vilii mdala gwakuwi Sara kaweriti mpendi.
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he did not waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
Aburahamu kalekiti ndiri kujimira lagilu ya Mlungu, njimiru yakuwi imemiti makakala na kamupananiti ukwisa Mlungu.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Kavimaniti nakaka kuwera Mlungu kaweza kutenda shilii shakalagiliti.
22 And therefore "it was credited to him as righteousness."
Ndo mana Aburahamu, kupitira njimiru, “katenditwi na Mlungu kuwera muheri kulongolu kwakuwi.”
23 Now it was not written that it was credited to him for his sake alone,
Payitakulwa, “Yomberi katenditwi kuwera muheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu.” Itakulwa ndiri kwa gweka yakuwi.
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, who believe in him who raised Yeshua our Lord from the dead,
Womberi watulembiliriti na twenga viraa yatutenditwi kuwera waheri, tumjimira Mlungu yakamzyukusiyiti Mtuwa gwetu Yesu.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Toziya ya vidoda vyatwenga, kalaviriyitwi kahowi na kazyukisiyitwi, su katutendi tuweri waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu.
