Walumi 4
1 Taiganga hwele nantele huje o Ibulahimu, yise wetu hwidala elye bele, apatihene?
What then shall we say of Abraham, our ancestor in the flesh?
2 Nantele nkashele u Ibulahimu abhaziwa elyoli hu mbombo, hangali nenangwa ezyahwisovye, nantele saga hwitagalila lya Ngolobhe.
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to be proud of, but not before God.
3 Eshi ensimbo zigawele? “Abulahamu amwetesheye Ongolobhe, na bhaziwe hwakwe huje alinelyoli.”
For what does Scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was set down to his account as righteousness.
4 Eshi hwa mtu yawombe embombo eposhenzi zyakwe sezibhaziwa huje hee wenee, hwa huje eshi lideni.
Now if a man earn his pay by his work, it is not counted to him as a favor, but it is paid him as a debt;
5 Nantele hwa mtu yasaga abhomba embombo nkashele ahumweteha omwene yali ahubhazizya elyoli yasagali bhatamu, enyinza zyakwe umtu oyo zibhaziwe huje lyoli.
but a man who does not "work," but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, has his faith imputed to him for righteousness.
6 O Daudi wope ayanga esalifyo hwa mtu yali Ongolobhe abhazizizye elyoli pasepali nembombo.
Just as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from actions.
7 Ayajile, “Bhasalifiwe bhala bhabhali embibhi zyabho zisajilwe nabhala abhezambe zyabho zyazikwishilwe.
Blessed he says are they whose iniquities have been forgiven, And whose sins have been covered.
8 Asalifiwe omtu ola nkashele Ogosi sabhazizizye ezambe.”
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Eshi huje ensalifyo zyabhala bhabhatahiliwe bhene, huje nabha sebhatahiliwe? Eshi tiyanga, “huje o Ibulahimu enyinza zyakwe zyabhaziwe huje lyoli.”
Is this blessing, then, for the circumcised alone? or for the uncircumcised also? Abraham’s faith, I say, was imputed to him for righteousness.
10 Huje yabhaweweleshi? Shila o Ibulahimu ali hu tohala, nantele sasele atahilwe? Sagayali hu tahilwe, eshi ashele tahilwe.
How then was it imputed to him? When he was circumcised? or uncircumcised? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
11 O Ibulahimu ahambilile ehalama yatahilwe. Ogu gwali muhuli gwela ehaki enyinza yalinayo hani sasele atahilwe. Efumizyo ezyandolesyo ene huja abhombeshe abhe baba wa bhoti bhabhahweteha. Atankashile bhahweli bhabhali atahilwe. Eshi hwahuje ehaki yaibhaziwa hwabhene.
and he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the faith- righteousness which he had while he was in uncircumcision; in order that he might be the father of all who believe, even though they are uncircumcised; so that righteousness might be imputed to them.
12 Ene yope yamisizye aje o Ibulahimu abhombeshe baba we tohala saga hwabhala bhabhafumila mutohala aje nabhala bhabhazilondola enyayo zya baba wetu o Ibulahimu. Huje ene nyinza yalinayo hwabhatahilwe.
He is the father of circumcision to those who are not merely circumcised, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he held while he was as yet uncircumcised.
13 Hwa huje sanayahali hudajizyo aje eahadi ehafumiziwe hwa Ibulahimu ne papo yakwe, eahadi ene eyaje bhaibhabhagali bhesi huje ehaliashelenle ehaki eyenyinza.
For the promise that he should be heir of the world did not come to Abraham or to his posterity through law, but through faith- righteousness.
14 Huje eshi nashi bhala bhe ndajizyo huje bhagali, enyinzizili nahamo, ne ahadi egalu zenywe.
For if those who are righteous through law are heirs, faith is empty and the promise becomes void.
15 Huje eshi edajizyo zileta ilyoyo, huje pala pasepali nedajizyo, nahumo huje huli eshishi.
For law works wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
16 Hwa huje eli sagalyafumie hunyinza, aje ebheye wene. Amafumilo gakwe, eahadi elipazelu hu mpapo yoti. Na zawa ebha sagaje bhala bhabhamenye edajizyo, huje bhala bhali nenza ezya Ibulahimu. Huje omwene isewetu ate tenti,
This is why righteousness is of faith, that it may be a free gift; so that the promise stands firm to all Abraham’s posterity; not to his children of his faith. For in the sight of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which is not, Abraham is the father of us all both Jews and Gentiles,
17 nashi sesibwilweli, “Ebheshele awe abhe baba wensi enyiji.” O Ibulahimu ali hweli hwola ya menye yaani Ongolobhe yasaga abhapiye abhafwe owomi na kwizye enongwa zyanazimo ajezibhe.
as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations.
18 Hata zibhe zyoti zya hwoze, Abulahamu abhejivi amawaminiye Ongolobhe hu siku zyazihwenza. Eshi abha baba wesi enyinji alengane nahala hahagajilwe,”... Esho shayaibha empapo yaho.”
For Abraham, hoping against hope, had faith to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So numberless shall your descendants be.
19 Omwene sagali bhinu hunyinza. Abulahamu aheteshe aje obele gwakwe yoyoo gumalishe afwe - ali no umuli wesiku amaha emia emo. Nantele ahetehene nehali eyafwe eyevyanda uya Sala.
Though he was about a hundred years old, his faith did not fail him when he regarded his own body, now as good as dead. and remembered Sarah’s barrenness.
20 Eshi alengane ne ahadi eya Ngolobhe, o Ibulahimu sagasitile ahumweteshe. Nantele, apewilwe eguvu hunyinza nantele asombele Ongolobhe.
Nor did he with regard to the promise of God waver in unbelief, but he waxed strong in faith, while he gave God glory,
21 Ali amenye loli aje hala hahali Ongolobhe haaidiye ali nouwezo owa hakamilisye.
and was fully persuaded that what God had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 Hweli lyope lyabhaziwe humwene abha haki.
And so his faith was reckoned to him for righteousness.
23 Eshi sagayasimbwilwe wene hufaida yakwe, aje yabhaziwe hwa mwene.
Now these words were not written simply for his sake, but for us as well.
24 Yasimbwilwe huliti nantele, hwa bhabhishewe abhaziwe atetatili tihweteha aje omwene azyozyeze Ogosi wetu oYesu afume hwa bhafwe.
For it will be "reckoned for righteousness." to us also, who believe on him that raised from the dead our Lord Jesus;
25 Ono yayola yalifumiziwe hu mbibhi zetu nazyosewe aje tipate abhaziwe ehaki.
who was betrayed to death for our transgressions, and raised again to life for our justification.
