< Romans 4 >
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
Nene, Ibrahim uchifi bite nan nya kidowo tibaworu ana se iyang?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
Bari andi Ibrahim wa se nin katwarik kidowo awa yitu nin nimon fofigiri, tutun na nbun Kutellẹ ba.
3 For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
Bari iyanghri uliru Kutellẹ na bellin? “Ibrahim na yinni ni liru Kutellẹ inalẹ wa batuzughne mu feu Kutellẹ.”
4 Now to the one who works, the pay is not counted as a gift, but as an obligation.
Nene urika na adi katwa, na idin batuzughe mun nafo ubollu Kutellẹ ba, ina din batuzughe mu nafo ulẹ na min urẹ.
5 But to him who does not work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Nani tutun kitin nlẹ na adin suzu katwẹ ba, ame na yinna ni lẹ nadi nutuuzunu nchaut kiti na lẹ na iyiru Kutellẹ ba, uyinnu sa uyenu me ibata nafo feu Kutellẹ.
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,
Dauda wa belli nmari di litin nit ulẹ na Kutellẹ din batuzu feu mẹ sa katwa.
7 "Happy are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
A belle “anan nmareri alẹ na alapi mins ina shawa mun, tutun alẹ na ina tursu nani alapi mine.
8 Happy is the one whom the Lord will not charge with sin."
Unan nmareri unit urika na chikilari ma batuzu alapi me ba.”
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.
Nene mọ nmarẹ idin bellu minin kiti nannan bowarẹ sa vat nin nanna salin nbowe wang? Bari tiworo, “uyinnu sa uyenun Ibrahim iwa bataghe mun feu Kutellẹ.”
10 How then was it credited? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Iyizari iwa nin bata? Kube na Ibrahim wa dinin bowarẹ sa nin salin nbo? Na iwa bataghe mun nan nya nbowari ba, iwa bataghe nan nya salin nbo
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.
Ibrahim wa seru alama nbowe usoghe utinchara feu Kutellẹ na awadimu adutu sa ubowe, bari anan so uchifin vat n lẹ na iyinna, ko idin nan nya ndirun bowari, inan bata nani feu Kutellẹ.
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.
tutun anan yita uchif nannan dak kitin nbowari machas ba, ndu vat kiti nalẹ na idin chin nabunun inyinnu uyenu inchifbite Ibrahim uyinnu sa uyenu me na awadimun nan nya ndirun nbo.
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.
Bari na nan nya sharawari ubellu Kutellẹ wa kulo litin Ibrahime nin nisudume, au ima so anan minu iyii, nan nya nani fiu Kutellẹn iyinnu sa uyenu.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
Bari andi alẹ na inuzu, nshara din nan nya nannan serẹ, uyinnu sa uyenu nso hemmari une, tutun ubellu Kutellẹ nnana.
15 For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
Bari usharawẹ din dasu nin tinanayi, vat nin nani, kitẹ na ushara dukuba, na udirun ndortun nshara duku wang ba.
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.
Bari nani. libau inyinnu sa uyenuwari, inan so libau nbolu Kutellẹ, bara ubellu me nan yita vat nisudu. Tutun ilẹ isudẹ na imayitu chas kiti nalẹ na iyiru usharawaba, imayitu vat nin na lẹ na idin nuzun yinu sa uyennun Ibrahim
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.
(urika na adi uchifbit vat, nafo na ina idi nya niyertẹ, “meng natifi uchif nisudu gbardang”). Amẹ Ibrahim wadi nbun lẹ na awayinin ninghe, Kutellẹri une, urika na adin nizu ulai nalẹ na ikuzu, akuru ayichila ilẹ imon na idiba imone yita.
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."
Vat nin yenju ndas, Ibrahim wayinin nin Kutellẹ iwo aba yitu uchif nisudu gbardang, nafo na iwa bellu “Alelẹ ma yitu isudu fẹ.”
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.
Na nan nya ndiru nagan inyinnu sa uyenuba, Ibrahim wa yau kidowo me kin kulari-awadi kupo nakus akut likuru, tutun kiti kumatin Saraya wadi kiku kubẹ.
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he did not waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
Vat nin nani, bara ubellu Kutellẹ, Ibrahim wa daudau nan nya indirun yinnu sa uyenuba, awana kwii agaghari nan nya iyinnu sa uyenu, nin liru Kutellẹ.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Awaynin vat imon irika na Kutellẹ bellẹ, adinin nagan usuninin.
22 And therefore "it was credited to him as righteousness."
Bara nani iwakuru ibatizaghe mun nafo fiu Kutellẹ.
23 Now it was not written that it was credited to him for his sake alone,
Nene na iwa su iyertẹ nwọ ibatizaghe mugha usame nimon ichineba,
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Vat nin gherik wang, nya narika na ima batuzu, arikẹ na tiyina nin lẹ na a fiya Yisa chikilaribit nan nya kul.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Yisa dana iwa nakpaghe bara alapi ikuru ifiyghe bari akusu ari.
