Roome 4
1 Hessa gish kasse nu Abiramey hayssafe ay go7a demide ginoo?
What then shall we say concerning Abraham the patriarch, that by the flesh he obtained?
2 Abiramey ba oothon xiilidako izi ceeqistanayssi deesiko shin; izi Xoossa siinithan ceeqetenas danida7ena.
But if Abraham was justified by works, he had ground of glorying; yet not before God.
3 Geeshsha Maxaafay “Abiramey Xoossu ammanidesine iza ammanoy izas xiillotethan qoodetides” gees.
For what saith the scripture? That Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
4 Issi uray ootho oothiko izi ekiza miishay izas coo kiyatethi immetizayssa gidontta izades ootho waga gides.
But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as a debt to him.
5 Gido attin ootho oothontta nagarancha ura xiillo kessiza Xoossan ammanizaades iza ammanoy izas xiillotethen taybetteyes.
Whereas, to him that worketh not, but only believeth in him that justifieth sinners, his faith is accounted to him for righteousness.
6 Dawiteykka xiillotethi izas qoodettizay loo7o oothon gidontta asa gishshi hiziges,
As David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man, to whom God reckoneth righteousness without works,
7 Isttas istta bolla oothoy atto geetetidaytine istta nagaray maretidayt anijjetidayta.
saying: Blessed are they, whose iniquity is forgiven, and whose sins are covered up:
8 Iza nagara Goday muleka qoodontadey izi anijjtidade”
and, Blessed is the man, to whom God will not reckon his sin.
9 Ha anijjozi qaxarretidaytas xalalayee? woykko qaxaretontaytasaraa? kase koyro nu Aawa Abirame ammanoy izas xiillotethan paydetides gidos.
This blessedness, therefore, is it on the circumcision? or on the uncircumcision? For we say, that Abraham's faith was reckoned to him for righteousness.
10 Histin wani izas hessaththo paydetide? Izi qaxaretidape guye? woykko qaxaristanape kassee? Izas xiillotethan paydetiday izi qaxaristanape sinithana.
How then was it reckoned to him? In circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Izi kasse qaxaristanape kasse demmida xiillotethay qaxarisi malata gidida heskka xiillotethas matame ekides. Hessa gish qaxaretontta ammanizaytas xiillotethi paydistana mala wurisotasi izi Aawa.
For he received circumcision, as the sign and the seal of the righteousness of his faith while in uncircumcision: that he might become the father of all them of the uncircumcision who believe; and that it might be reckoned to them also for righteousness:
12 Izi qaxaretidaytaskka Aawa qaxaretidaytas xalala gidontta nu Aawa Abiramey kasse qaxaristanape sinithe izas diza ammano geedo kallizaytas wurisossa.
and the father of the circumcision; not to them only who are of the circumcision, but to them also who fulfill the steps of the faith of our father Abraham in his uncircumcision.
13 Izi alame latizade gidana mala Abirimeynne iza zereththati ufaysa qaala ekiday waga baggara gidontta ammanon gidida xiillotethankko.
For the promise to Abraham and to his seed, that he should become the heir of the world, was not by the law, but by the righteousness of his faith.
14 Woga nagizayti lattizayta gidiko ammanos go7ay deenna; ufaysikka coo mela gidana shin.
For if they who are of the law were heirs, faith would be made void, and the promise of no force.
15 Wogay hanqqo kalethes. wogay baynidason wogappe adhethi deenna.
For the law is a worker of wrath; because where no law is, there is no transgression of law.
16 Hessa gishshi ufaysi ammanon yides. Hessikka iza ufaysay iza kiiyatethan gidanadanine Abirame zerethasi wurisosi ammanetizayssa gidana mala hanides. Hesikka wogan izayta gididaytas xalala gidontta ammanon Abirame nayta gididaytas wurisotaskko. Izikka nuus wurisoskka Aawako.
Wherefore, it is by the faith which is by grace, that we are justified: so that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all:
17 Hesikka “Ta nena daro dere Aawa oothidis” geeteti xaafetida mala hanides. Izikka hayqidaytas deyo immizaden baynidayssa qasse diza mala oothizaden ammanida Xoossa sinithan izi nuusu Aawakko.
as it is written: " I have constituted thee a father to a multitude of nations;" namely before God, in whom thou hast believed; who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which are not, as if they were.
18 Kasse izas “Ne zerethi hessaththo hanana” geetetida mala ayko ufaysikka baynida dishin Abiramey Xoossi hanana gidaysa ammanidi daro dere Aawa gidides.
And without hope, he confided in the hope of becoming the father of a multitude of nations; (as it is written: So will thy seed be.)
19 Abiramesi yelettini xeetu layith gidi kichin Abiramey ba asatethay hayqetha mala gididaysanne sarasi yello wodey aadhi bidaysa erisheka ammanon lepibeyna.
And he was not sickly in his faith, while contemplating his inert body, (for he was a hundred years old, ) and the inert womb of Sarah.
20 Gede gujjid ammanon minidi Xoossas boncho immides attin Xoossi gida qaala sidhibeyna.
And he did not hesitate at the promise of God, as one lacking faith; but he was strong in faith, and gave glory to God;
21 Xoossi izas immida ufaysay polistanaysa kumetha wozinape ammanides.
and felt assured, that what God had promised to him, he was able to fulfill.
22 Hessa gishshi izasi xiillotethan qodetides.
And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.
23 “Izas xiillotethan paydetides” giza qaala xaafettiday izas xalala gidena.
And not for his sake alone, was it written, that his faith was accounted for righteousness;
24 Gido attin Xoossi nu xiillotetha iza baggara paydiza nu Goda Yesusa hayqope denithidaysan ammaniza nusarakko.
but for our sakes also; because it is to be accounted so to us, who believe in him that raised our Lord Jesus Messiah from the dead;
25 Izi nu nagara gishshi hayqanasi aadhi immetides. Izi nuna xiillota hisitina hayqope denidides.
who was delivered up, on account of our sins; and arose, that he might justify us.
