Romans 4
1 What advantage then shall we say that Abraham our father had as to the flesh?
Mihem lam dol a sei dingin Abraham chu Juda mite tahsan phutdohpa ahi. Pathen toh kilungto theina dinga ipi ahinbol doh em?
2 For if Abraham was accepted as righteous through works, he hath ground of boasting. But he hath no ground of boasting before God.
Athilpha bol chun Pathen santhei asodoh sah a ahileh, aman kisonpi ding ananei ding ahitai. Hinla, hichu Pathen lama dingin ahitheipoi.
3 For what saith the scripture? “Abraham had faith in God, and it was accounted unto him as righteousness.”
Ajeh chu Pathen thubun, “Abraham'in Pathen atahsan'in, chule hiche atahsanna jeh chun Pathen in michonphan asimtai!” tin eiseipeh uve.
4 Now to him that performeth works, the reward is not accounted a matter of grace, but of debt;
Mihon na atoh tenguleh anatoh man'u chu thilpeh akitipoi, amahon akilodoh-u ahijoi.
5 but to him who without performing works hath faith in him who accepteth as righteous one that hath been ungodly, his faith is accounted as righteousness;
Hinlah miho michonphaa kisim ho chu, anatoh jal'u hilouvin, michonse ho ngaidampa Pathen atahsan jal'u ahibouve.
6 as David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man whom God accepteth as righteous without works:
David'in jong michonpha tia kiphongdoh ho chu natoh jal jeh ahilou thudol ana seijin ahi.
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
“O seingailou ahinauva kingaidama, achonset-u mukit loudia kisuhbeipeh ho chu iti kipa um hitam!
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord shall not charge with sin.”
Ahinai, achungchang thu'u Pakaiyin achonsetnau jih lutsa akoi noimang peh'a um michu iti kipa um hitam!” ati.
9 Doth this blessedness belong to the circumcised alone, or to the uncircumcised also? For we are saying that Abraham's faith was accounted as righteousness.
Tua hi Judah mite dinga bou phatthei channa ham? Ahilouleh chidang namdang cheptanlou ho dinga jong hiya ham? Ahinai, eihon jong Abraham chu atahsan jal'a Pathen'in themchang a anakoi ahitai, ti inasei jiuvin ahi.
10 How then was it so accounted? After his circumcision, or while he was uncircumcised? Not after he was circumcised, but while he was uncircumcised.
Ahin, hichu iti hung hithei'ah ahidem? Ama chep kitan jouva bou themchang hiya ham? Ahilouleh cheptan masang joh ham? Chentah a seiding in, Abraham chu Pathen in cheptan masanga analah ahitai.
11 And he received the outward sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all the uncircumcised who have faith, so that righteousness might be put to their account also;
Cheptan hi Abraham'in tahsan aneiye ti amelchihna ahi. Chule Pathen in ama chu michonpha tia asan'a chule aphondohna chu cheptan masangpeh ahitai. Hijeh'a hi, Abraham hi cheptanlou atahsanho dinga apau ahi. Atahsan nau jeh a chu amaho michonpha tia kisima ahitauve.
12 and that he might be the father of the circumcised, who are not circumcised merely, but who tread in the steps of that faith which our father Abraham had while yet uncircumcised.
Chule Abraham hi cheptan ho dinga jong lhagaova apau ahi. Hinla hiche hi Abraham cheptan masanga tahsan anei tobanga tahsan neihoa ding bou ahi.
13 For not through the Law was the promise made to Abraham or his offspring that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
Tahbeh mongin, Pathen in vannoi pumpi hi Abraham le achilhahte apeh ahin, hichu Pathen Danthu ajui jeh-u ahipon, chusanga tahsan jal'a kijopmatna phatah anei jaljoh ahi.
14 For if they that are of the Law are heirs, then faith becometh a vain thing, and the promise is made of no effect.
Pathen Thutep hi danthu juihoa dinga bou hitaleh, tahsan ngaitalou ding ahi. Chule thutep hi ajeh bei hiding ahitai.
15 For the Law is the cause of wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.
Ajeh chu Danthu hin athupeh ho jui dinga gimbolna jengbou ahin lhut ding ahi (Dan suhkeh louna dingin lampi khat bou aum'in, hichu Dan neitah lou ding chu ahije).
16 Therefore the inheritance was made to depend on faith, that it might be a matter of grace; that the promise might be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is under the Law, but to that also which hath the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
Chutia chu, thutep hi tahsan jal'a kimu'ah ahin, manbei thilpeh-akipea chu ahi. Abraham tahsan tobang inei uva ahileh Mose Dan ijuiyu hihen, ijuilouvu hijongleh eihon ibon'uva imu teidiu ahi. Ajeh chu Abraham chu atahsan jousea dinga pa ahi.
17 (as it is written, “I have made thee a father of many nations”) in the sight of that God whom he believed, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.
Hiche hi ahi Pathen Lekhabun asei, “Keiman nangma namtin mipa a kasem nahitai” tia Pathen in ajah a anasei chu. Hiche ahitheina chu Abraham'in Pathen atahsan'a athisa hinsahkitna chule imacha louva kona thil thah asemdoh thei tahsan na jeh ahi.
18 For he had confident hope in that which was past hope, that he should become a father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, “Thus shall thy offspring be;”
Kinepna ding umlouna jenga jong Abraham chu akinem jingin, ama namtin dinga Pa ahung hiding tahsanna aneiyin ahi. Ajehchu Pathen in ajah a, “Chutia a chu son le chilhah tampi nahin neiding ahi,” atipeh ahi.
19 and not being weak in faith, he regarded not his own body which had become dead, he being about a hundred years old, nor the deadness of Sarah's womb;
Chule Abraham chu kum 100 nailam ahi jengin jong hitia atahsa chu athi tobang ahitah vang'in, chule Sarah naobu jong chu avoitah vang'in, atahsan chu adai lhadehpon ahi.
20 nor did he waver in respect to the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Abraham chun Pathen thutep longlouvin atahsan'in ahi. Tahbeh in atahsanna chu ahatcheh in chule hichea chun Pathen loupina apen ahi.
21 being fully convinced, that what he hath promised, he is able also to perform.
Pathen chun akitepna ipi hijongleh aboldoh ding ahi ti hetchetna kicheh aneiye.
22 And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Chule Abraham chu atahsan jal'a Pathen'in michonpha tia asem ahitai.
23 And that it was so accounted was not written for his sake alone,
Chutia Pathen in ama michonphaa asem chu Abraham dinga bou phachoma ahipoi. Eiho phatchompi dinga jong kijih a ahi.
24 but for our sakes also, to whom it will be so accounted through our faith in him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
I-Pakaiyu Yeshua thinaa kona kaithoupa chu itahsan uva ahileh Pathen in eiho jong michonpha'a eisem dingu ahi, ti hetchetna eipeuve.
25 who was delivered up on account of our trespasses, and raised from the dead that we might be accepted as righteous.
Ichonset jeh uva Ama chu thi dinga pehdoh a uma ahin, chule hinna a Ama kaithouva aum hin Pathen to eisuhcham'u ahitai.
