Roma 4
1 Ania ngarud iti ibagatayo a natakkuatan ni Abraham, nga ammaentayo segun iti lasag?
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 Ta no napalinteg ni Abraham babaen dagiti ar-aramid, addaan koma isuna iti rason nga agpasindayag, ngem saan nga iti sangoanan ti Dios.
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God.
3 Ta ania iti ibagbaga ti Nasantoan a Surat? “Pinati ni Abraham ti Dios, ket naibilang kenkuana daytoy a kas kinalinteg.”
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Ita para kenkuana nga agtrabtrabaho, saan a naibilang a kas parabur ti tangdan, ngem kas nateggedan.
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 Ngem para kenkuana a saan nga agtrabtrabaho ngem ketdi mamati iti daydiay mangpalpalinteg iti saan a nadiosan, naibilang ti pammatina a kas kinalinteg.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Ibagbaga met ni David ti kinagasat ti tao nga ibilbilang ti Dios a nalinteg uray awan ti ar-aramidna.
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Kinunana, “Nagasat dagiti napakawan dagiti basbasolda, ken nakalluban dagiti basbasolda.
[Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Nagasat ti tao a saanto nga ibilang ti Apo ti basolna.”
Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Naibalikas laeng kadi ngarud daytoy a bendision kadagiti adda iti pannakakugit, wenno kasta met kadagiti awan iti pannakakugit? Ta ibagatayo, “Pammati ti nakaibilang kenni Abraham iti kinalinteg.”
[Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only], or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Isu a kasano a naibilang daytoy? Idi adda ni Abraham iti pannakakugit wenno idi awan iti pannakakugit? Saan nga iti pannakakugit ngem iti saan a pannakakugit.
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Inawat ni Abraham ti pagilasinan ti pannakakugit. Daytoy ket selyo iti kinalinteg ti pammati a natagikuanan idi awan pay iti pannakakugit. Ti nagbanagan daytoy a pagilasinan ket nagbalin isuna nga ama dagiti amin a mamati, uray pay no addada iti saan a pannakakugit. Kayat a sawen a maibilangto ti kinalinteg para kadakuada.
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 be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12 Kayat pay a sawen a nagbalin ni Abraham nga ama ti pannakakugit para kadagiti umay a saan laeng a kadagiti nagtaud iti pannakakugit, ngem kasta met kadagiti sumurot kadagiti addang ni amatayo nga Abraham. Ket daytoy ti pammati nga adda kenkuana idi awan pay iti pannakakugit.
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.
13 Ta saan a babaen iti linteg a naited ti kari kenni Abraham ken kadagiti kaputotanna, daytoy a kari nga agbalindanto a tagatawid ti lubong. Ngem ketdi, babaen iti kinalinteg ti pammati.
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.
14 Ta no tagatawid dagiti adda iti linteg, nagbalinen nga awan serserbi ti pammati, ken awan metten ti nagmamaayan ti kari.
For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Ta iyeg ti linteg ti pungtot, ngem no sadino ti awan linteg, awan met ti saan a panagtulnog.
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
16 Ta gapu iti daytoy, mapasamak daytoy babaen iti pammati, tapno mapasamak koma daytoy babaen iti parabur. Kas pagbanaganna, awan duadua iti kari para kadagiti amin a kaputotan. Ket karaman dagitoy a kaputotan saan laeng dagiti makaaammo ti linteg, ngem kasta met dagiti nagtaud iti pammati ni Abraham. Ta isuna ti Amatayo amin,
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,
17 a kas naisurat, “Inaramidka nga ama iti adu a pagilian.” Adda ni Abraham iti presensiana a nagtalkanna, dayta ti Dios, a mangmangted iti biag kadagiti natay ken mangpaadda kadagiti banbanag nga awan.
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, ) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Uray pay adda dagiti saan a nasayaat a paspasamak, sitatalged a nagtalek ni Abraham iti Dios para iti masakbayan. Isu a nagbalin isuna nga Ama ti adu a pagilian, segun iti naibaga, “... Kas met kadagiti kaputotamto.”
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 Saan isuna a nakapuy iti pammati. Binigbig ni Abraham a natayen ti bagina—agarup sangagasut ti tawenna. Binigbigna met ti kinaawan serserbi ti aanakan ni Sarah.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
20 Ngem gapu iti kari ti Dios, saan a nagsarimadeng iti saan a panamati ni Abraham. Ngem ketdi, napapigsa iti pammatina ken nangted iti pammadayaw iti Dios.
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 Siaanay a naallukoy isuna a kabaelanna met nga ileppas ti inkari iti Dios.
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 Naibilang met ngarud kenkuana daytoy a kas kinalinteg.
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Ita, saan laeng a naisurat daytoy para iti pagsayaatanna, naibilang daytoy para kenkuana.
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 Naisurat met daytoy a para kadatayo, nga imbilang iti Dios a nalinteg, datayo a mamati kenkuana a nangpagungar kenni Jesus nga Apotayo manipud patay.
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Daytoy ti naiyawat a para kadagiti basbasoltayo ken napagungar para iti pannakapalintegtayo.
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
