Rome 4
1 Na mea kut ac srumun inge kacl Abraham, papa matu tumun mwet Jew uh? Mea tuh sikyak nu sel?
What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
2 God El fin aksuwoswosyal ke sripen orekma lal, na oasr ma el ku in konkin kac — tusruktu tia ye mutun God.
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
3 Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Abraham el filiya lulalfongi lal in God ac ke sripen lulalfongi lal, God El oakulla sie mwet suwoswos.”
For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
4 Sie mwet su orekma el eis molin orekma lal, na moul se inge tia mwe kite se, a molin orekma lal.
Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
5 A mwet se su lulalfongi in God, ac tia filiya lulalfongi lal ke orekma wo lal sifacna, pa inge mwet se su God El ku in nunak munas nu sel ke ma koluk lal, ac ke sripen lulalfongi lal, God El oakulla sie mwet suwohs.
But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
6 Pa inge kalmen ma David el fahk ke el kaskas ke insewowo lun mwet se su God El oakla mu el suwohs, finne wangin ma el oru:
Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 “Insewowo elos su ma koluk lalos nunak munas nu selos, Su orekma koluk lalos tuleyukla!
“Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 Insewowo el su Leum El tia oakla ma koluk lal!”
Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
9 Ya insewowo se ma David el kaskas kac inge, ma na nu sin mwet kosrala mukena? Mo, ma pac nu selos su tia kosrala. Tuh oana ma nga fahk tari, Ma Simusla uh fahk mu, “Abraham el filiya lulalfongi lal in God ac ke sripen lulalfongi lal, God El oakulla sie mwet suwoswos.”
Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Ma se inge sikyak ngac? Meet liki Abraham el kosrala ku tukun el kosrala? Ma meet, tia ma toko.
How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 El tuh kosrkosrla tok, ac kosrala lal sie akul in akkalemye lah, ke sripen lulalfongi lal, God El oakal sie mwet suwoswos meet liki el kosrala. Ke ma inge Abraham el oana papa tumun mwet nukewa su lulalfongi in God, ac God El oakalos mwet suwoswos ye mutal, elos finne tia kosrla.
He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
12 El papa pac tumalos su kosrala, aok, elos su oayapa moul in lulalfongi oana papa tumasr Abraham el moulkin meet liki el tuh kosrala.
He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
13 Ke God El wulela nu sel Abraham ac fwilin tulik natul mu faclu ac fah ma lal, El oru ouinge, tia mweyen Abraham el akos Ma Sap, a mweyen el lulalfongi ac el oaoala sie mwet suwoswos ye mutun God.
For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Tuh fin ma God El wuleang kac ac itukyang na nu selos su akos Ma Sap, na ac wangin kalmen lulalfongi lun mwet uh, ac wuleang lun God wangin sripa.
For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
15 Seakos lun mwet nu ke Ma Sap lun God pwanang kasrkusrak lal, tusruktu yen ma wangin ma sap we, wangin pac seakos ma sap.
For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
16 Ke ma inge, wuleang se inge oakwuki fin lulalfongi, tuh in arulana kalem lah wuleang se inge oanu sie mwe kite lun God su wangin molo, nu sin fwilin tulik natul Abraham nukewa — tia nu selos mukena su akos Ma Sap, a oayapa nu selos su lulalfongi oana Abraham. Tuh Abraham el papa tumasr nukewa in ngun;
For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, 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 oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Nga ac oru kom in papa tumun mutanfahl puspis.” Ke ma inge wulela sac pwayena mweyen ma sin God me, su Abraham el lulalfongi — God su akmoulyauk mwet misa, ac su sap lal uh oru in sikyak ma su wangin meet.
As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
18 Abraham el sruokya lulalfongi ac finsrak lal, finne pacl ma upa na in oasr finsrak. Pa oru el “papa tumun mutanfahl puspis.” In oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah pus oana itu uh.”
Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
19 In pacl sac Abraham el apkuran in sun yac siofok, ac lulalfongi lal tiana munasla, el finne nunku ke manol lah apkuran in misa, ku kacl Sarah lah el kofla orek tulik.
Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
20 Lulalfongi lal tiana wanginla, ac el tiana alolo ke wulela lun God nu sel. Lulalfongi lal akkeyal, ac el kaksakin God.
Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21 El etu na pwaye lah God El ku in oru ma El wulela kac.
and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
22 Pa oru, ke sripen lulalfongi lal Abraham, “God El oakulla sie mwet suwoswos.”
Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
23 Kas inge “God El oakulla sie mwet suwoswos” tia simla kacl Abraham mukena.
Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
24 Simla pac kacsr, su ac fah oaoala mwet suwoswos ke sripen kut lulalfongi in God su akmoulyalak Jesus Leum lasr liki misa.
but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Yeshua our Lord from the dead,
25 God El eisalang Jesus nu ke misa ke sripen ma koluk lasr, ac El akmoulyalak tuh Elan aksuwosye kut ye mutal sifacna.
who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
