Romans 4
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, found?
Ninia fi aowa A: ibalaha: me ea hou amola ea hawa: hamosu, amo ninia ba: mu da defea.
2 For if Abraham had been justified by works, he would have had a reason to boast, but not before God.
E da hi hou moloidafa hamoiba: le, Gode da e moloidafa hamoi ganiaba, e da gasa fi hou hamomu da defea gala: loba. Be dunu da gasa fi hamomu, amo Gode da higa: i hodosa.
3 For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “A: ibalaha: me da Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: i. Amaiba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene moloidafa hamoi ba: i.”
4 Now for him who works, what he is paid is not counted as a gift, but as what is owed.
Hawa: hamosu dunu da hawa: hamobeba: le, bidi laha. Be ea bidi lai da hahawane dogolegele iasu hame. E da hawa: hamobeba: le fawane lasa.
5 But for him who does not work but instead believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.
Gode da wadela: i hamosu dunu lale, afadenene, dunu moloidafa hamomusa: dawa: Osobo bagade dunu da hi hawa: hamobe amo mae dawa: le, amo dafawaneyale dawa: sea, Gode da amo dunu ea hou afadenene, bu moloidafa hamoi ba: sa.
6 David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness without works.
Amo hou Da: ibidi da amane olelei, nowa dunu da mae hawa: hamone, udigili Gode Ea hanaiba: le afadenei moloidafa ba: sa, amo dunu da hahawane bagade.
7 He said, “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
“Dunu da ea wadela: i hou da gogolema: ne olofoi dagoi ba: sa, amo dunu da hahawane bagade.
8 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count sin.”
Gode da amo dunu ea wadela: i hou hobea hamedafa bu dawa: mu. Amaiba: le, e da hahawane bagade!”
9 Then is this blessing pronounced only on those of the circumcision, or also on those of the uncircumcision? For we say, “Faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.”
Amo hahawane hou, gadofo damui dunu fawane da hame dawa: , be gadofo hame damui dunu amola amo hou dawa: lala. Ninia musa: Gode Sia: dedei, amane olelei, “A: ibalaha: me da Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: i. Amaiba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene, moloidafa hamoi ba: i.”
10 So how was it counted? When Abraham was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? It was not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Amo hou da habogala hamobela: ? Amo hou da A: ibalaha: me ea gadofo hame damui esoga degabo ba: i.
11 Abraham received the sign of circumcision. This was a seal of the righteousness of the faith that he had already possessed when he was in uncircumcision. The result of this sign was that he became the father of all those who believe, even if they are in uncircumcision. This means that righteousness will be counted for them.
Gode da A: ibalaha: me moloidafa ba: i. Fa: no e da gadofo damusu hou hamoi. Ea gadofo damui da dawa: digima: ne olelesu fawane. Amo dawa: digima: ne olelesu da e da Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me moloidafa hamoi ba: i. Gadofo damui da fa: no ba: i. Amaiba: le dunu huluane Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le gadofo damui amola gadofo hame damui, amo Gode da moloidafa hamoi ba: sa. Amola amo huluane da A: ibalaha: me ea mano agoane.
12 This also meant that Abraham became the father of the circumcision for those who are not only circumcised but also for those who follow in the steps of faith of our father Abraham before he was circumcised.
Gadofo damui dunu amola ilia A: ibalaha: me ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou e da ea gadofo hame damui amo esoga hamosu, amo defele ilia hamobeba: le, ilia amola da A: ibalaha: me ea mano agoane.
13 For the promise to Abraham and to his descendants that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
Gode da A: ibalaha: mema, e amola egaga fi da hobea osobo bagade huluane lalegagumu sia: i. A: ibalaha: me da sema huluane mae giadofale hamoiba: le, Gode da amo hame sia: i. Be A: ibalaha: me da Gode dafawaneyale dawa: le, moloidafa hamoiba: le, Gode da ema amane sia: i.
14 For if those who live by the law are to be the heirs, faith is made empty, and the promise is void.
Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu da Sema nabasu dunu ilima fawane iaha ganiaba, osobo bagade dunu ilia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da hamedei liligi agoai ba: la: loba, amola Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu da hamedei liligi agoai ba: la: loba.
15 For the law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there is no trespass.
Gode Ea Sema da dialebeba: le, amo wadela: beba: le, dunu ilia Gode Ea ougi se dabe iasu ba: mu. Be Sema da hame galea, Sema amoma hame nabasu hou amola da hame gala.
16 For this reason it is by faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all of Abraham's descendants—not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all,
Amaiba: le, hahawane dogolegele iasu hou bai, amo Gode da Ema dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amoga hamoi. Gode da A: ibalaha: me egaga fi huluane ilima hahawane dogolegele imunu sia: i. Sema nabasu dunu ilima fawane hame. Be nowa dunu e da A: ibalaha: me ea hou defele dafawaneyale dawa: sa, ilima amola. A: ibalaha: me da nini huluanema a: silibu ada agoane esala.
17 as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations.” Abraham was in the presence of him whom he trusted, that is, God, who gives life to the dead and calls the things that do not exist into existence.
Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Na da di fifi asi gala bagohame ilima ada hamoi dagoi.” Gode da bogoi uhinisimusa: dawa: Ea sia: beba: le, musa: hamedafa gala liligi da hamosa. A: ibalaha: me da amo Gode dafawaneyale dawa: i. Amola Gode da amo musa: ilegele sia: i hahawane dogolegele iasu liligi hamoi dagoi.
18 In hope he believed against hope, that he would become the father of many nations, according to what he had been told, “So will your descendants be.”
Osobo bagade dunu ilia hou ganodini, Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu amo misa: ne hamoma: beyale da bai hame gala. Be A: ibalaha: me da gasawane dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, dunu fi bagohame da ea mano agoane hamosu. Gode Sia: dedei amo, “Dia fi dunu lalelegemu da gasumuni idi defele agoane ba: mu.” - amo da dafawane ba: sa.
19 Without becoming weak in faith, he considered his own body as dead (because he was about a hundred years old)—and he considered the deadness of Sarah's womb.
A: ibalaha: me da lalelegele, ea esalebe ode idi da gadenene 100 gidigi. Be ea da: i hodo da bogomu gadenei, amola ea uda Sela da mano lamu hamedei, amo mae dawa: le, e da ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou hame yolesi.
20 But because of God's promise, Abraham did not hesitate in unbelief. Instead, he was strengthened in faith and gave praise to God.
A: ibalaha: me da Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele imunu sia: i dafawaneyale dawa: i galu. Dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, e da gasawane hamone, Godema nodoi.
21 He was fully convinced that what God had promised, he was also able to accomplish.
A: ibalaha: me da Gode da Ea musa: ilegele sia: i dafawane hamomu, amo dafawaneyale dawa: i.
22 Therefore this was also counted to him as righteousness.
Amaiba: le, A:ibalaha: me da Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, “afadenei bu moloidafa hamoi,” Gode da e ba: i dagoi.
23 Now it was not written only for his benefit, that it was counted for him.
Amo sia: , “afadenei bu moloidafa hamoi,” da A: ibalaha: me fawane ea hou olelema: ne hame dedei
24 It was written also for us, for whom it will be counted, we who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
Be ninia amola ninia hou olelema: ne dedei. Gode da Hina Yesu Gelesu bogoi amo wa: legadolesiba: le, amo ninia dafawaneyale dawa: sea, Gode da nini amola “afadenei bu moloidafa hamoi” ba: mu.
25 This is the one who was delivered up for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.
Ninia wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofomusa: , Gode da Yesu Gelesu osobo bagade dunu medole legemusa: , ilima i. Amola Gode da ninia huluane afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi ba: musa: , E da Yesu Gelesu uhini wa: legadolesi.
