Romans 4
1 What thanne schulen we seie, that Abraham oure fadir aftir the flesch foond?
Nomba twambe cani afwe Bayuda pamushali wetu Abulahamu? Nibyani mbyalacana mubuyumi bwakendi?
2 For if Abraham is iustified of werkis of the lawe, he hath glorie, but not anentis God.
Na walalulamikwa ne Lesa kupitila mubintu mbyalensa, nshinga nalacana pakulitukumunina. Nomba liya kulitukumuna pamenso a Lesa sobwe.
3 For what seith the scripture? Abraham bileued to God, and it was arettid to him to riytwisnesse.
Nomba Mabala alambangaconi? Akute kwambeti “Abulahamu walashoma Lesa, kayi mpwalashoma, Lesa walamubona kwambeti walulama.”
4 And to hym that worchith mede is not arettid bi grace, but bi dette.
Muntu asebensa ncito, ukute kutambula malipilo. Nomba nteko kwambeti ni cipo sobwe, nsombi tukute kwambeti embyelela kutambula pacebo ca ncito yakendi.
5 Sotheli to hym that worchith not, but bileueth in to hym that iustefieth a wickid man, his feith is arettid to riytwisnesse, aftir the purpos of Goddis grace.
Muntu lashomo kwakubula kushimpila mu ncito shakendi ne kushoma muli Lesa, Lesa eukute kumuboneti nimuyawu, ulu elushomo Lesa ndwakute kulangaula kwambeti abe walulama pamenso akendi.
6 As Dauid seith the blessidnesse of a man, whom God acceptith, he yyueth to hym riytwisnesse with outen werkis of the lawe,
Nendi Dafeti walamba copeleco pacindi mpwalambeti ukute colwe uyo Lesa ngwalasuminisheti walulama kwakubula pacebo cabintu mbyalenshi. Walambeti,
7 Blessid ben thei, whos wickidnessis ben foryouun, and whos synnes ben hid.
“Bakute colwe bantu Lesa bwalalekelela bwipishi bwabo, Abo mbwalashimanganya bwipishi bwabo,
8 Blessid is that man, to whom God arettide not synne.
Ukute colwe muntuyo Mwami ngweshakabule kubelengela bwipishi bwakendi.”
9 Thanne whether dwellith this blisfulnesse oneli in circumcisioun, or also in prepucie? For we seien, that the feith was arettid to Abraham to riytwisnesse.
Sena colwe ici nica bantu bapalulwa bonka nambi ne babula kupalulwa? Sobwe naboyo babula kupalulwa nikwabo. Pakwinga Mabala ngotulambapo alambangeti, “Abulahamu walashoma Lesa, lino mpwalashoma walacanika kwambeti walulama pamenso a Lesa.”
10 Hou thanne was it arettid? in circumcisioun, or in prepucie? Not in circumcisioun, but in prepucie.
Nomba ibi byalenshika lilyoni? Sena nipacindi mpwalapalulwa nambi katana? Nkabyalenshika mpwalapalulwa sobwe nsombi nkatana apalulwa.
11 And he took a signe of circumcisioun, a tokenyng of riytwisnesse of the feith which is in prepucie, that he be fadir of alle men bileuynge bi prepucie, that it be arettid also to hem to riytwisnesse;
Kupalulwa kwalenshika panyuma pakendi, kwambeti cikabe cishibisho cebo calushomo lwakendi nambi nkalikuba wapalulwa, nsombi walacanika kwambeti walulama pamenso a Lesa mpwalashoma. Neco Abulahamu nimushali wabo bonse bashoma Lesa, kayi Lesa ukute kumubona kuba muntu walulama nambi nkapalulwa.
12 and that he be fadir of circumcisioun, not onely to hem that ben of circumcisioun, but also to hem that suen the steppis of the feith, which feith is in prepucie of oure fader Abraham.
Kayi ni mushali wa bonse bapalulwa, kutamba bonka bapalulwa mumubili monka, nsombi uyo ukute kukonka citondesho ca lushomo lwa mushali wetu Abulahamu nkatana apalulwa.
13 For not bi the lawe is biheest to Abraham, or to his seed, that he schulde be eir of the world, but bi the riytwisnesse of feith.
Abulahamu ne bashikulu bakendi balatambula cishomesho cakwambeti cishi capanshi nicikabe cabo. Balatambula cishomesho ici, nteko kupitila mukukonkela Milawo sobwe, nsombi pacebo ca kululama kulafumunga mulushomo.
14 For if thei that ben of the lawe, ben eiris, feith is distried, biheest is don awey.
Neco na cishomesho ca Lesa nicikapewe kuli balakonkelenga Milawo, ekwambeti lushomo luliyawa ncito kayi ne cishomesho ca Lesa nicabulyo.
15 For the lawe worchith wraththe; for where is no lawe, there is no trespas, nethir is trespassyng.
Milawo ikute kuleta bukalu bwa Lesa, nsombi kwabula Milawo kuliyawa kayi ne kwipwaya.
16 Therfor riytfulnesse is of the feith, that bi grace biheeste be stable to ech seed, not to that seed oneli that is of the lawe, but to that that is of the feith of Abraham, which is fadir of vs alle.
Neco cishomesho calapewa kupitila mulushomo, kwambeti cibe cipo ca Lesa ncalalaya kuli bonse bashikulu ba Abulahamu ntebo bonka balakonkelenga Milawo, nsombi ne kuli bashoma mbuli Abulahamu ncalensa, pakwinga Abulahamu ni mushali wetu twense.
17 As it is writun, For Y haue set thee fadir of many folkis, bifor God to whom thou hast bileued. Which God quykeneth deed men, and clepith tho thingis that ben not, as tho that ben.
Pakwinga Mabala alambangeti, “Ndakubiki kwambeti ube mushali wa mishobo ingi ya bantu.” Cishomesho ici Abulahamu walacitambula kuli Lesa ngwalikuba washoma. Endiye Lesa ukute kubweshela buyumi kubantu bafwa, kayi kupitila mu maswi akendi ukute kupesheti bintu byabulapo bibepo.
18 Which Abraham ayens hope bileuede in to hope, that he schulde be maad fader of many folkis, as it was seid to hym, Thus schal thi seed be, as the sterris of heuene, and as the grauel that is in the brenke of the see.
Lesa walambeti, “bashukulu bakobe nibakafule.” Neco nendi walapitilisha kushoma ne kukabeti nkabyalikuba bintu byeshibikwa, weco nendi walaba mushali wa mishobo ingi ya bantu.
19 And he was not maad vnstidfast in the bileue, nether he biheelde his bodi thanne nyy deed, whanne he was almost of an hundrid yeer, ne the wombe of Sare nyy deed.
Byaka byakendi byalikuba byakwana pepi mwanda. Nomba lushomo lwakendi luliya kulefuka nambi mubili wakendi walabeti wafwa cebo cakucekula. Neye Sala walikuba wayuma palibunda.
20 Also in the biheeste of God he doutide not with vntrist; but he was coumfortid in bileue,
Nendi uliya kutaya lushomo kayi nkalacitonshanya cishomesho ca Lesa sobwe, nsombi walapitilisha kushoma ne kulumbaisha Lesa.
21 yyuynge glorie to God, witynge moost fulli that what euere thingis God hath bihiyt, he is myyti also to do.
Walashomeshesha kwambeti Lesa nakacikonshe kwinsa bintu mbyalamushomesha.
22 Therfor it was arettid to hym to riytwisnesse.
Weco, mbuli maswi a Lesa ncalambilingeti, “Lesa walamubona kuba walulama.”
23 And it is not writun oneli for him, that it was arettid to hym to riytwisnesse,
Mabala alambangeti, “Lesa walamubona kwambeti walulama,” Nkalambanga shakendi enka sobwe.
24 but also for vs, to whiche it schal be arettid, that bileuen in him that reiside oure Lord Jhesu Crist fro deeth.
Nsombi alambanga kayi pali njafwe tweshi tukacaniketi twalulama pakushoma Lesa, uyo walapundusha Yesu Mwami wetu kubafu.
25 Which was bitakun for oure synnes, and roos ayen for oure iustefiyng.
Yesu walabengwa kwambeti afwe pacebo ca bwipishi bwetu, kayi walapunduka kubafu kwambeti tube balulama pamenso a Lesa.
