Romans 4
1 What then shall we say—as touching Abraham our forefather?
Erah ang abah, sengte sengwah jih ajaat Abraham asuh seng ih tumjih li ih? Heh ih jatje arah tumjijih rah ah?
2 For, if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath whereof to boast; —nevertheless, not towards God, —
Heh reeraang dang ajang jun ih Rangte ngathong nah Abraham ah kateng angta bah, heh ah engaampo jih angta—enoothong Rangte miksok dobah tajen ngaampooka.
3 For what doth the Scripture say? And Abraham believed in God, and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.
Rangteele ni liiha, “Abraham ih Rangte ah tuungmaang etta, erah tuungmaang jun ih Rangte ih heh ah kateng et thiikta”
4 Now, unto him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned by way of favour but by way of obligation,
Marah mina moot ni kala abah lakbi thaang ah chola, erah suh thaangmuh lakkot liijih tah angka; erah chola ah heh lakniik thaang.
5 Whereas, unto him that worketh not but believeth on him that declareth righteous the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.
Enoothong, marah mina heh mookaat suh lah angthang ih heh hanpi suh laalomte ah, ethih ah ese et jenlekte wah Rangte suh hanpiila, eno erah hanpiila thaang ah kateng mina et thiik ah.
6 Just as David also affirmeth the happiness of the man unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works: —
Erah raang ih Dewid ih, o mina neng mootkaat muh taat ang abah uh, Rangte ih kateng et thiik rum ano tenroon chote loong asuh amet liiha:
7 Happy, they whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered,
“O thetre biin anaan ha loong ah tenroon ang ah, nyia neng rangdah biin anaan ha loong uh tenroon ang ah!
8 Happy, the man whose sin the Lord will in nowise reckon.
Marah mina rangdah Teesu ih larookweka loong ah tenroon ang ah!”
9 This happiness, then, [is it] for the circumcision, or for the uncircumcision? for we say—His faith was reckoned unto Abraham as righteousness:
Erah tenroon tiit ah Dewid ih baat ha rah khoopkhan banlam hoonchoote loong suh laklak tam baat ha? Emah tah angka! Erah khoopkhan banlam hoon mute loong suh nep baat ha. Tumeah Rangteele ni amet liiha, “Abraham ih Rangte suh hanpiita, erah thoidi heh ah Rangte ih kateng et thiikta.”
10 How, then, was it reckoned? When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
Erah babah angta? Abraham heh khoopkhan banlam maang hoon di tam angta, tamale erah lini angta? Erah heh khoopkhan banlam maang hoon di angta, lini tah angka.
11 And, a sign, he received [namely] of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while yet uncircumcised; to the end he might be father of all that believe during uncircumcision, to the end [the same] righteousness might be reckoned unto them, —
Abraham khoopkhanta banlam ah sin esiit angta heh ah Rangte suh hanpiite ang kano laalek heh ah kateng ih thiikjih angta. Erah thoidi Abraham ah deek akaan ni chiiala pan loongtang raangtaan ih hewah roop angta, mina loong neng khoopkhan banlam hoon muh taat ang abah uh, Rangte suh hanpiite loong abah heh ih kateng et thiik ah.
12 And father of circumcision—unto them who are not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, while yet uncircumcised, of our father Abraham.
Abraham ah khoopkhan banlam hoonchoote loong raangtaan ih uh neng waroop, erah langla khoopkhan luulu lah angthang ih, sengte sengwah Abraham heh khoopkhan banlam maang hoon di laalomta ah likhiik neng loong ah uh emamah ih laalomla.
13 For, not through means of law, doth the promise belong unto Abraham or unto his seed, —that he should be heir of the world; but, through a righteousness by faith.
Rangte ih Abraham nyia heh sutoom satoom loong suh kakhamta adi mongrep ah heh raangtaan ang ah ih baatta, eno amiimiisak langta, erah langla Abraham ih Hootthe liphan thaang ih tah angta, enoothong heh hanpi nyia Rangte ih heh ah kateng et thiik thoidi angta.
14 For, if they who are of law are heirs, made void is faith and of no effect is the promise.
Tumeah Rangte kakham ah Hootthe lathong ni songtongte loong raangtaan ih mok ang abah, heh suh tuungmaang nyia heh kakham ah thaangmuh ih hoon ah.
15 For, the law, worketh out anger, but, where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
Hootthe ih Rangte tenkhat ah datpoon ah; enoothong marah di hootthe tajeeka, erah doh hootthe thaangju theng uh tajeeka ang ah.
16 For this cause, it is by faith, in order that it may be by way of favour, so that the promise is firm unto all the seed, —not unto that by the law only, but unto that also [which is such] by the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all, —
Erah thoidi kakham ah tuungmaang jun ih ang ah, tumeah Rangte kakham ah Abraham sutoom loong suh thaangmuh ih kottheng thiinta—Hootthe lathong ni songtongte loong suh laklak lah angthang ih, Abraham ih hanpiita likhiik o ih hanpiiha erah loong suh nep koha. Erah thoidi Abraham ah chiiala lam ni seng waroop;
17 Even as it is written—Father of many nations, have I appointed thee: before him whom he believed—God, who causeth the dead to live, and calleth the things that are not as things that are: —
Rangteele ni liiha likhiik ah, “Ngah ih an deek akaan rep raangtaan ih waroop ang thuk ha.” Erah kakham ah, marah Abraham ih hanpiita Rangte miksok di ese—tek nawa ngaakthing thukte nyia heh jengkhaap nawa ih jaatrep maangdi lajeeta loong ah jen dongsiitte Rangte suh ah.
18 Who, past hope, upon hope believed, so that he became father of many nations, —according to what had been said—So shall be thy seed; —
Laalomjih lah angka di, Abraham ih hanpi nyia laalom etta, erah thoih “deek akaan rep waroop ang thukta.” Rangteele ni liiha likhiik ah, “An sutoom satoom loong ah reksih thanthan ih jaatjaang ah.”
19 And, without becoming weak in his faith, he attentively considered his own body, already deadened—he being a hundred years old, the deadening also of Sarah’s womb;
Erah tok adi Abraham ah paang chaasiit angta; enoothong teekaang taat ang abah uh heh tuungmaang ah kamkam angta, amiidi heh ah tek nanah angta eno heh minuh Saara uh heh sah tajeeta.
20 In respect, however, of the promise of God, he was not led to hesitate by unbelief, but received power by his faith, giving glory unto God,
Heh tuungmaang jun ih Rangte kakham asuh tenchi tah angta; heh tuungmaang adi chaan aphaan eje angta, eno heh ih Rangte rangphoong ruh eta.
21 And being fully persuaded (that), —what he hath promised, able is he also to perform:
Rangte kakhamta asuh Abraham ah kamkam ih laalomta.
22 Wherefore [also], it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.
Erah thoidi Abraham ah, heh tuungmaang jun ih “Rangte ih kateng ih thiikta.”
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was reckoned unto him,
Marah Abraham suh “Kateng et liita” erah langla heh suh luulu li tiit taraangka
24 But for our sakes also—unto whom it is to be reckoned, —even unto them that believe upon him who raised Jesus our Lord from among the dead:
Seng loong o kateng et thiik he erah loong raangtaan ih nep raangha nyia Jisu Kristo tek nawa we ngaakthing thukta ih hanpiihi loong ah suh nep raangha.
25 Who was delivered up on account of our offences and was raised on account of the declaring us righteous.
Tumeah seng rangdah thoi ih heh roidong ah tek haat thukta, eno Rangte ngathong nah seng loong ah kateng angsuh we ngaakthing thukta.
