Romans 4
1 What shall we then say that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
Ki tre ndi ngye nitu Ibrahim Bachi mbu u kpa afe?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath something to glory about; but not before God.
Ibrahim andi fe kpa chuwo nitu nduma, andi na wruwo ni san, wruwo ni san ma ndina he ni shishi Irji na.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
Ahi ngye nassi hla? Ibrahim a kpanyime ni Irji, u baka bla yo niwu ndi ahi ndi tsratsra.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Zizan wawu wa a tie ndu'a, bana bla lulu ma yo ni mi tsratsra na, bayo ni kpe wa a he u ma.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Wawu wa ana he ni ndu na, a kpa nyime niwa ani wruhle nibi lahtre'a ba bla yo suron ma ni son tsratsra.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputeth righteousness apart from works,
Dauda a tre tre lulu nitu nji wa Irji bla yo nimi tsratsra hama ni ndu'a
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
A tre ndi, “Lulu he nitu biwa ba wru lah tre mba hle'a ni biwa ba ka lah tre mba kaka ni bawu'a.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Lulu he nitu nji wa Irji na bla lah tre ma memle'e mu na'a.”
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
U lulu yi he nitu biwa ba yonji ni bawu ka gji, ka nitu biwa bana yonji ni bawu ngame'a na?
10 How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Ba bla yo niwu nihe? Ahe ni nton wa ba yonji ni Ibrahim ka ni nton wa ba na rhi he yo nji niwu'a? Ana he ni nton wa ba yo nji niwu'a na, a heni nto wa bana yo nji niwu'a na.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they are not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed to them also:
Ibrahim kpa ngban u yo nji'a. Wawu yi a he hatimi (seal) u yo suron wa a he niwu rhi ni nton wa ana yo nji rhi na. A tie wayi ndu ka tie tie bi wa ba yo suron'a, amma bana yo nji ni bawu rhi na, ndi duba blaba yo nimi bi wa ba tsratsra me'a.
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
Ahi tie biwa ba yo nji ni bawu'a, ana wa ba yo nji migyen na, bi wa ba zren ni nkon ndindi wa Ibrahim a hu rhi nda fe yo nji'a.
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Alkawali wa bana tie ni Ibrahim ni hama ndi ani gaje (heir) mgbumgblu'a ana doka na a rhi ni tsratsra u yo suron.
14 For if they who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of no effect:
Biwa bana son nitu doka ba ni gaji koh Irji'a, iyo suron ani migyen (empty), u alikawali a ndi na kpe na.
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Doka ni nji nfu ye, doka nita hama lah tre hamma.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might 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,
Ani tu tre yiyi ani kponji, ni ndu nno nyu mba ndu si nitu zizi nda bwu (nno) nkon ni grji Ibrahim.
17 As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, ) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth those things which are not as though they were.
Na wa ba nha, “Mi chu ndu he tie u mgbumgblu gbugbu'u” Ibrahim ahe ni shishi ndji wa a kpau nyime'a, wato Irji wa ani nu vri (life) ni biwa ba gyu nda ndu kpe biwa bana he na ndu ba he.
18 Who against hope believed with hope, that he should become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Ibrahim a kpa nyime ni Irji nitu kpe wa ba he ni ko shishi'a. Na kati tie ni mgbumgblu gbugbuwu, ni tu kpe wa ba hla niwu'a, igrji me ba he naki.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
Ana khwumgble ni yo suron mana, a kpa nyime ndi wawu ceye, don ana tie whewhre ni se dari, a kpa nyime ndi ikrju (Womb) Saratu na nji vren ngana.
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Nitu Alkawali Irji, Ibrahim ana senyu (hesitate) nitu ka kpa nyime mana, a fe mgbemgblen nitu son suron ma, nda gbre Irji San.
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
A kpa nyime gbigbi ni kpe wa Irji hla ani tieu.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
U ba bla kma yo niwu ndi ahi tsratsra ndji.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
Bana nha ndi ndu zo nika khji ma na.
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Ba nha ni tawu ngame, ba bla ni tawu biwa ki yo suron niwu wa a ton Yesu Almasihu shime ni khyu'a.
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification.
Ahi wa ndi ba kamba niwu nitu lah tre mbu'a nda tashime nitu kpata chuwo'a.
