Romans 4
1 What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh?
Hanchu, taksa tieng ei richibul Abraham hah i angin mo ei misîr rang ani zoi? Inmo a sinthona a lei intem?
2 for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast — but not before God;
Sintho sika thei intum nirese chu, Abraham'n song rang imini chu a dôn rang kêng, hannirese Pathien mitmua chu ni mak.
3 for what doth the writing say? 'And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;'
Pathien lekhabu'n imo ati? “Abraham'n Pathien a iema, a taksônna sika han Pathien'n midikin a pom ani,” ati.
4 and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;
Sinthopu rathaman chu lungkham pêk niloiin lâkâi anga be ani uol, an sinthona an man kêng ani.
5 and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned — to righteousness:
Aniatachu mingei hah an sintho han midika tel nimak ngeia nunsiengei ngâidampu Pathien taksônna sikin kêng ani.
6 even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:
Mi Sintho sika niloia Pathien'n dikna a minchang ngei satvur anni tie, David khom hi anghin a ril:
7 'Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered;
“An tho minchâinangei ngâidamin a oma, an sietnangei mukhua aom ngei chu, satvur an ni!
8 happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.'
Pumapa'n sietna dôn a be loi ngei chu satvur an ni!”
9 [Is] this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision — for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham — to righteousness?
Ha satvurna hah sertan ngei rang vai mo? Sertanloi ngei rang khom mo? Abraham'n taksônna sikin dikna achang ei tia.
10 how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
A sertan mâna chong mo, a tan suole mo? nimak, sertan suole nimaka, sertan mân ani.
11 and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,
A sertan mâna a taksônna sika, Pathien'n thei a minchang minenna ranga sertan kêng ani. Hanchu sertan khom no rese iemna sika Pathien'n thei a minchang ngei ta rangin chu Abraham chu an rathatienga pa ani.
12 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that [is] in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
Sertan ngei pa khom ani, sertan anni vai sika niloiin ei pa Abraham'n a sertan mâna an taksôn angdêna iemna an nei sika ani.
13 For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;
Balam jôm sik niloiin, iemna sika thei minchang a lei ni, Pathien'n Abraham kôm, ama le a jâisuon ngeiin rammuol hih la luo an tih, ti a khâm ani.
14 for if they who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;
Balam jôm hih rochon luona anînchu, taksônna hih akorong nîng ata, chongkhâm khom hah kâmomloi ani, tina nîng a tih.
15 for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression.
Balam han Pathien taksina a minsuok ngâi balam boina hanchu minchâina khom om ngâi mak.
16 Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,
Masikin, chongkhâm hah Abraham jâisuonngei murdi rangin balam a jôm ngei mang niloiin ama taksôn anga iempungei rang khomin Pathien manboipêk a nitie min langna rangin iemna sikin ani Abraham kôma chong a lei khâm hah, ama hah ratha tienga ei rênga ei pa ani.
17 who is father of us all (according as it hath been written — 'A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe — God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.
Pathien lekhabu'n, “Nam tamtak pa'n nang ki minchang zoi” a tia, inkhâmna hah Pathien tieng chu asa ani. Hi chongkhâm hih Abraham'n ai iem Pathien mithi ngei minringnôkpu le neinun a omloi ngei min ompu kôm renga ai mu ani.
18 Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: 'So shall thy seed be;'
Abraham han sabei rang aboi tet nûk khomin ala sabei ngit sikin, “Nam tamtak ngei pa,” a hongchang zoi ani. Pathien chongin, “Na jâisuonngei ârsi dôr la nîng an tih,” ati anghan.
19 and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old, ) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,
Kum raza mi ani zoia a taksa mindon nân chu mithi angdôr ani zoia, Sarah khom aching ani ti a riet chien pum khomin a taksônna chu duoi uol mak.
20 and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,
Taksônna insamin Pathien chongkhâm hah mindon kârminlak maka, a taksônna a rât uol uola Pathien a chôiminsânga.
21 and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do:
Pathien'n a chongkhâm tuonmintung thei ngêt a tih, ti a riet minthâr sikin.
22 wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.
Masika han kêng, “A taksônna sika thei minchang ani,” ti ani.
23 And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him,
Hi chong, “midika pom ani,” ti hih ama chungroi misîrna rang manga miziek ni maka.
24 but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned — to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,
Eini, ei Pumapa Jisua thina renga kaithoipu iemngei sika dikna intum sai ngei rang khomin miziek ani.
25 who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.
Jisua hah ei sietnangei sikin thatin a oma Pathien makunga dikna intum theina rangin kaithoiin a om nôk ani.
