Romans 4
1 What shall we then say that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
Tabang ahile eite i pa Abraham thu bangbang son tu hi ziam, cilesa taw kisai bang mu ziam?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory, but not before God.
Banghangziam cile Abraham sia a sepna te hang in thutang suana nga ahile, ki suantak natu nei hi; ahihang Pathian mai ah hi ngawl hi.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
Banghangziam cile laithiangtho in bang hong ci ziam? Abraham in Pathian um a, tua a upna sia thutang suana in ceptesak hi.
4 Now to him that worketh, is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Tu in naseam khat sia a sep thaman sang hi a, hesuakna ci in ngaisut tu hi ngawl zaw a, a leibat hi zaw hi.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Ahihang a seam ngawl khat sia Pathian nei ngawl te thutangsakpa a up uh hu in, tua a upna sia thutang suana in ceptesak hi.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man to whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Pathian in sepna kihel ngawl napi, mi thutang in a cepte mi khat i thupha sang ahina thu sia David in a sonna ah,
7 [Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
A phatngawl nate maisak na le, a mawna te a ki phualsealsak te sia mihing thuphatoai te a hihi.
8 Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Topa i a mawsak ngawl pa sia thuphatoai a hihi, ci hi.
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.
Hi thupha sia vunteap tan te tung bek ah ahi ziam, a hibale, vunteap tan ngawl te tung zong a theng veve ziam? banghangziam cile, Abraham i a upna sia thutang suana in ceptesak hi, i ci hi.
10 How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Tabang hile bangbang in ceptesak ziam? vunteap a tan zawkciang ziam maw, a hibale vunteap a tan ma ziam? Vunteap a tan zawkciang hi ngawl hi, ahihang vunteap a tan ma hi zaw hi.
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;
Abraham in vunteap tan taw ceptena sang hi, tua thu sia vunteap a tan ma in a neisa upna hang in thutang suana kipsakna a hihi: tabang in vunteap tan ngawl te ahizong a um theampo te i Pa ahi thei natu le vunteap tan ngawl te zong a upna uh thutang suana in a ceptesak thei natu a hihi:
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.
Taciang ama sia vunteap a tan te i Pa bek hi ngawl in, eite i Pa Abraham in vunteap a tan ma in a neisa upna khaw-ni a zui te i Pa zong a hihi.
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.
Banghangziam cile Abraham le a suan a pal te leitung ngamhlua tu in a kamciam sia thukham taw hi ngawl hi, ahihang upna i thutang suana tungtawn a hihi.
14 For if they who are of the law [are] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of no effect.
Banghangziam cile thukham a zui te ngamhlua te ahile, upna sia mannei ngawl suak hi, taciang kamciam zong mannung ngawl hong suak hi:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
Banghangziam cile thukham in Pathian thin-ukna piangsak hi: banghangziam cile thukham om ngawl na mun ah, thukham palsat na om ngawl hi.
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;
Tua ahikom in kamciam sia hesuakna hang in, upna tungtawn in i nga hi; ci sia a suan le pal theampo in a tawpdong a telthiang thei natu a hihi; tasia sia thukham a zui te bek hi ngawl in, Abraham bang in upna nei te zong kihel hi; banghangziam cile Abraham sia eite theampo i Pa a hihi,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who reviveth the dead, and calleth those things which are not, as though they were.
Minam tampi te i Pa in kong vawt zo hi, ci a ki atsa bang in, Abraham sia, mithi te a thokiksak, a om ngawl lai nate a omsa bang in a son, a up Pathian mai ah eite theampo i Pa a hihi.
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.
Na suan le pal te sia tabang in hi tu hi, ci a son bang in, minam tampi te i Pa hi tu lam-et om ngawl napi, upna taw lam-etna nei nginge hi.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb.
A upna thaneam ngawl ahikom, Abraham sia kum zakhat kiim a phak ciang in, ama pumpi le Sarah i sul sia a thisa bang in ngaisun ngawl hi:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Pathian kamciam muangla ngawl in, a upna thahat ahikom, Pathian pokna pia hi;
21 And being fully persuaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Pathian in kamciam a piak na bang in vawt thei hi, ci um ngam takpi hi.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Tua ahikom a upna sia Pathian in thutang suana in ceptesak hi.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
Tu in hi upna thutang suana in a ceptesak sia, ama atu bek in a ki at hi ngawl hi;
24 But for us also, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Ahihang eite i Topa Jesus Christ thina pan a thokiksak sia i um ahile, eite atu zong thutang suana in hong ceptesak tu hi;
25 Who was delivered for our offenses, and raised again for our justification.
Eite mawna hang in ki ap a, eite thutang suaksak tu in thina pan ki thokiksak hi.
