Roma 4
1 Ania ngarud iti ibagatayo a natakkuatan ni Abraham, nga ammaentayo segun iti lasag?
What then shall we say concerning Abraham the patriarch, that by the flesh he obtained?
2 Ta no napalinteg ni Abraham babaen dagiti ar-aramid, addaan koma isuna iti rason nga agpasindayag, ngem saan nga iti sangoanan ti Dios.
But if Abraham was justified by works, he had ground of glorying; yet 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? That Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
4 Ita para kenkuana nga agtrabtrabaho, saan a naibilang a kas parabur ti tangdan, ngem kas nateggedan.
But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as a debt to him.
5 Ngem para kenkuana a saan nga agtrabtrabaho ngem ketdi mamati iti daydiay mangpalpalinteg iti saan a nadiosan, naibilang ti pammatina a kas kinalinteg.
Whereas, to him that worketh not, but only believeth in him that justifieth sinners, his faith is accounted to him for righteousness.
6 Ibagbaga met ni David ti kinagasat ti tao nga ibilbilang ti Dios a nalinteg uray awan ti ar-aramidna.
As David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man, to whom God reckoneth righteousness without works,
7 Kinunana, “Nagasat dagiti napakawan dagiti basbasolda, ken nakalluban dagiti basbasolda.
saying: Blessed are they, whose iniquity is forgiven, and whose sins are covered up:
8 Nagasat ti tao a saanto nga ibilang ti Apo ti basolna.”
and, Blessed is the man, to whom God will not reckon his 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.”
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 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 then was it reckoned to him? 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.
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 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 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 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 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 Ta no tagatawid dagiti adda iti linteg, nagbalinen nga awan serserbi ti pammati, ken awan metten ti nagmamaayan ti kari.
For if they who are of the law were heirs, faith would be made void, and the promise of no force.
15 Ta iyeg ti linteg ti pungtot, ngem no sadino ti awan linteg, awan met ti saan a panagtulnog.
For the law is a worker of wrath; because where no law is, there is no transgression of law.
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,
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 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 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 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.”
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 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 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 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.
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 Siaanay a naallukoy isuna a kabaelanna met nga ileppas ti inkari iti Dios.
and felt assured, that what God had promised to him, he was able to fulfill.
22 Naibilang met ngarud kenkuana daytoy a kas kinalinteg.
And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.
23 Ita, saan laeng a naisurat daytoy para iti pagsayaatanna, naibilang daytoy para kenkuana.
And not for his sake alone, was it written, that his faith was accounted for righteousness;
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 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 Daytoy ti naiyawat a para kadagiti basbasoltayo ken napagungar para iti pannakapalintegtayo.
who was delivered up, on account of our sins; and arose, that he might justify us.
