Romans 4
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
Ti baa yedi lede Abalahama po? wani yua n tie ti yaaja ti gbannandi nni. o den baa be?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not towards God.
li ya tie ke o den baa li moamoansaali kelima otuona po oden ba fidi ki kpiagi o yuli. ama o kan kpiagi o yuli u TIENU kani.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Lan yaa po i diani mo yedi lede? li yedi: Abalahama den daani uTIENU ke u TIENU den coadi o po la ke li tie teginma.
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
Yua n soani li tuonli kuli ba baa o panpaani, o kan yaa nua ke o panpaani yeni tie paabu, li tie pani.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
Ama yua n ki soani a tuona, ki nan daani u TIENU yua n saagi i moamoani ti tuonbiadi daano po, u TIENU ba coadi o po o dandanli yeni ke li tie teginma.
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
Yeni moko, DAFIDI doagidi ya pamanli n ye leni u TIENU n coadi yaaba ya teginma ke laa ŋoadi leni a tuona.
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Li pamanli ye leni yaaba n baa sugili bi biadima po, leni uTIENU n piini ya tuonbiadi.
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
li pamanli ye leni o DIEDO n kan coadi yua yaa po o tuonbiadi.
9 Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
Naani laa pamanli baa ye yaaba n kua koanciagu bebe ya po bi, bi yaaba n ki kua ku koanciagu ya po yo? kelima ti yedi moala na: ABALAHAMA n daani u TIENU ke wani uTIENU den coadi o po la ke li tie teginma.
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Abalahama den tie lede u TIENU n den coadi o po la ya yogunu? O den kua ku koanciagu bi? bi O daa den kua? O daa den kua.
11 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 those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
O den kua ku coanciagu ke lan tua mi maalima ke o ba li moamoansaali kelima o dandanli yaa po wan da den tie jifoli yaa yogunu. lanwani Abalahama tie yaaba n daani kuli yaa Baa, ba ke bi tie jifola ke u TIENU n coadi bani moko yaa po bi teginma.
12 He is the father of circumcision to those 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.
O go tie yaaba n kua ku koanciagu moko yaa ba bani yaaba n ki sedi leni ku koanciagu bebe ka, A ma bi moko ŋua Abalahama dandanli fuuli.
13 For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Li naa tie kelima li balimaama kubimia po ka ke u TIENU den niani Abalahama leni o buolu kuli ki ba teni ban diedi handuna, Ama li tie wan den ba ya moamoansaali li dandanli ya po.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
Li ya tie kelima li balimaama kubima yaa po yo ke bi tua bi faajieba, lanwani li dandanli tua fanmafanma, u TIENU ǹoanianu moko naa pia mayuli.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
kelima u TIENU balimaama ba cuani u TIENU pabienli cuonu. Li balimaama yaa ye li balimaama miidima moko ki ye.
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 offspring, 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.
Lanwani yaaba n ba baa u TIENU n den niani ya ǹoanianu, ba baa u kelima li dandanli ya po, kelima u TIENU bua ban baa u ǹoanianu kelima o hanbili paabu po bebe o bili ke o ǹoanianu baa ye Abalahama puoli ŋuani kuli po. laa tie yaaba n ŋua li dandanli bebe ya po ka, ama yaaba n daani u TIENU nani Abalahama n den daani maama. wani Abalahama tie tikuli yaaja.
17 As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
nani lan diani maama: n teni ke a tua ni buoli boncianla ba. u TIENU, Abalahama nden daani yua yeni, nua wani Abalahama yua ntie ti kuli ba, wani yua n teni ke bi tinkpiba go ye ki fo, ki go teni ke yaa bonli n ki ye n tua yaali n ye.
18 Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
Abalahama den daani u TIENU ki pia mi suginma baa ke o suginma naa go den pia man baa fidi ki sedi naani. Lani yaa po O den tua i nibuoli boncianla Baa nani u TIENU n den maadi o maama ki yedi: a puoli ŋuani baa yaba yeni.
19 Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
Abalahama den bua ki pundi bina kobiga, ama O dandanli ki den tadigi baa ke o laa ke o gbannandi tie nani ti kpe yeni, ke Sala mo pendi ti madi.
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
Baa yeni o yama ki den lengidi ke o luo li dandanli o TIENU po ki nua ke o kan kuani wan den niani yaa ñoanianu. Ama O dandanli den paagi O ke O kpiagi o TIENU.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
O den daani ki go bani ke u TIENU n niani yaala, ki go pia li fidu ki ba kuani O ñoanianu.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
Kelima lani yaapo u TIENU den coadi la o po ke li tie teginma.
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
Laa tie Abalahama bebe yaapo ka ke li diani: u TIENU den coadi opo la.
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Ama li diani tinba yaa po moko, u TIENU n ba coadi yaaba yaa po ke li tie teginma, tinba yaaba n daani u TIENU, wani yua n den fiini ti Diedo bi tinkpiba siiga.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Bi den cuo o kelima ti ya tagili po ke o go fii bi tinkpiba siiga ke tin baa li moamoansaali.
