Bharumi 4
1 Echaikaki lindi ati Abrahamu, Lata weswe okulubhana no mubhili, abhonekene?
What shall we then say that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 Kulwo kubha alabha Abrahamu abhaliywe obhulengelesi kwe bhikolwa, akabhee na insonga yo kwikuya, mbe nawe atali imbele ya Nyamuanga.
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory, but not before God.
3 Kaoli amaandiko agaika ki? “Abrahamu amwikilisishe Nyamuanga, na nabhalilwa ku mwene kubha mulengelesi.”
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
4 Mbe woli kwo munu unu kakola emilimu, omuyelo gwaye gutakubhalwa ati ni chigongo, mbe nawe ati ni bhanja.
Now to him that worketh, is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 Mbe nawe ku munu unu atakola milimu nawe namwikilisha mwenene unu kamubhalila obhulengelesi unu atali mwelu, elikilisha lyaye omumukingila nabhalilwa kubha mulengelesi.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Daudi one kaika amabhando ingulu yo munu unu Nyamuanga kamubhalila obhulengelesi bhunu bhutali mu bhikolwa.
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man to whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Aikile, “Bhana libhando bhaliya bhanu obhubhibhi bhwebhwe bhyeswaliliywe na bhanu ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe bhyabhisilwe.
[Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Ana libhando omunu ulya unu Latabhugenyi atamubhalila chibhibhi.”
Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Mbe angu amabhando ganu nikubhaliya bhanu bhatendelwe-la, amwi one na kubhaliya bhanu bhatatendelwe? Kulwo kubha echaika, “Ku Abrahamu okwikilisha kwaye kwabhaliywe kubha bhulengelesi.
[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 Kwibhyo woli bhyabhaliywe atiki? kenu mumwanya Abrahamu aliga ali mu lutendo, amwi achali kutendwa? (Jaliga jitali mu kutendwa, nawe mubhutatendwa.)
How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Abulaamu ayaywe echibhalikisho cho lutendo. Lunu lwaliga luli lwa bhusibhusi lwa bhulia obhulengelesi obho aliga nabho bhwangu achali okutendwa. okubhonekana echibhalikisho chinu ni ati akolekene okubha lata wa bhona abhekilisha, nolwo kutyo bhali mu lutendo. Inu uli na isonga ati obhulengelesi obhubhalwa kubhene.
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 are not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also;
12 Inu ona yelesishe ati Abulaamu akolekene lata wo lutendo atalila ati ku bhaliya abho abhabhonekana no lutendo, atali ona bhalia abho abhabhiilubha ebhigele bhya lata weswe Aburaamu. Na linu nilyo elikilisha linu aliga analyo kwa bho bhaliga bhatatendelwe.
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 Ku lwokubha yaliga itali kwe bhilagilo ati omulago gwasosibhwe ku Aburaamu no lwibhulo lwae, omulago gunu nati abhabha bhali bho bhwandu gwe Chalo. Atali yaliga ili kulwokulabha kwo bhulengesi bhwe likilisha.
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 Ku lwokubha alabha bhalia abhebhilagilo nibho abhalya omwandu, elikilisha ni Lya kutyo-ela, no mulango ona ni gwa kutyo -ela.
For if they who are of the law [are] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of no effect.
15 Kunsonga ebhileta lisungu, nawe alia anu bhitali bhilagilo, ona( kutalio okusiga okubhayana.)
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
16 Ku songa inu linu elibhonekana kwe likilisha, koleleki ibhwe yechigongo. Okubhonekana kwebhyo, omulago guli abhwelu ku lwibhulo lwona. Na bhwebhulwa bhanu bhatali ati ni bhalia abho abhamenya ebhilagilo, nawe one ni bhalya abho ni bhelikisha lya Aburaamu. Ku lwokubha omwenene ni lata weswe eswe bhona,
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 Lwakutyo jandikilwe,”Nakukola awe okubha lata wa Maanga mafu.”Aburaamu aliga amuliko unu amwikilisishe, niwe, Nyamuanga oyo kabhayana abhafue obhuanga no kugabhilikila amasango ago gatalio koleleki gatule okubhao
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who reviveth the dead, and calleth those things which are not, as though they were.
18 Okusigana Nejo jone ejaanja, Aburaamu kwo bhubhasi amwikilsishe Nyamuanga kusiku ejo jilija. kutyo nabha lata wa Maanga mafu, okulubhana na chiliya chaikilwe,”... Nikwo kutyo lulibha olwibhulo lwao.”
Who against hope believed with hope, that he should become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 Omwene alga atalegae mulikilisha. Aburaamu ekilisishe ati omubhili gwaye gulamalile okufwa- aliga nalebhelela okukingya Mwaka egana limwi. Ona ekilishanyishe nejo lufu lwa inda ya Sara.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb.
20 Mbe nawe kulwa insonga ye milago ja Nyamuanga, Abrahamu (atalindiliye) mu bhunyatekilisha. nawe, ayanilwe amanaga mu likilisha no kumukusha Nyamuanga.
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 Aliga namenya echimali ati chiliya chinu Nyamuanga alagile, one aliga ali no bhutulo bhwo kuchikumisha.
And being fully persuaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 Kulwejo jinu jone jabhalilwe mu mwene kubha jo bhulengelesi.
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Mbe woli itandikilwela kwa mabhona gae, ati jabhaliywe ku mwene.
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 Jandikilwe ingulu yeswe one, bhanu bhaliga bhateyweo okubhalilwa, eswe bhanu echikilisha mu mwene unu amusuluye Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu okusoka mubhafuye.
But for us also, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 Unu ni ulya unu asosibhwe ingulu ye bhikayo bhyeswe no kusululwa koleleki chibhone okubhalilwa obhulengelesi.
Who was delivered for our offenses, and raised again for our justification.
