Romans 4
1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, hath found?
Twibetakujobha kiki kabhele kujha Abrahamu, dadi jhitu kwa namna jha mb'el'e, abhonekene?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.
Kwa ndabha ikajhelayi Abrahamu abhalangibhu haki kwa matendo, na aajhe ni sababu jha kwitufya, lakini sio palongolo pa K'yara.
3 For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
Kwani majhandiku ghijobhuli? “Abrahamu an'kyeriri K'yara na abhalangibhu kwa muene kujha haki.”
4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.
Henu kwa munu jha ibhomba mbombo, mal'epu gha muene ghibhalangibhwa lepi kujha ni neema, bali kujha lideni.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned 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 Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,
Daudi ni muene ijobha baraka panani pa munu ambajhe K'yara akambalangila haki bila matendo.
7 [saying], 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 reckon sin.
Abarikibhu munu jhola ambajhe Bwana akambalangila lepi dhambi.”
9 Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned 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 reckoned? 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 sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto 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 the father of circumcision to them 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.
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 not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but through the 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 which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:
Kwa maana kama bhala, bha sheria ndo bharithi, imani ijhele jha bhwaka, ni ahadi jhibatiliki.
15 for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
Kwa ndabha sheria jhileta ghadhabu, lakini pala ambapo ijhelepi sheria, kabhele kujhelepi kutii.
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 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, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.
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 Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy 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 without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and 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 yea, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through 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 being fully assured that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Ajhele amanyili bhukweli kujha khela ambakyo K'yara aahidi, ajhele kabhele ni bhuwezo bhwa kukikamilisya.
22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
Henu ejhe kabhele jhabhalangibhu kwa muene kujha ndo haki.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;
Henu jhalembibhu lepi tu kwa faida jha muene, kujha jhabhalangibhu kwa muene.
24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised 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 up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Ojho ndo jhola ambajhe apisibhu kwandabha jha makosa ghitu ni kufufulibhwa ili tukabhayi kubhalangibhwa haki.
