Walumi 4
1 Taiganga hwele nantele huje o Ibulahimu, yise wetu hwidala elye bele, apatihene?
What then shall we say concerning Abraham the patriarch, that by the flesh he obtained?
2 Nantele nkashele u Ibulahimu abhaziwa elyoli hu mbombo, hangali nenangwa ezyahwisovye, nantele saga hwitagalila lya Ngolobhe.
But if Abraham was justified by works, he had ground of glorying; yet not before God.
3 Eshi ensimbo zigawele? “Abulahamu amwetesheye Ongolobhe, na bhaziwe hwakwe huje alinelyoli.”
For what saith the scripture? That Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
4 Eshi hwa mtu yawombe embombo eposhenzi zyakwe sezibhaziwa huje hee wenee, hwa huje eshi lideni.
But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as a debt to him.
5 Nantele hwa mtu yasaga abhomba embombo nkashele ahumweteha omwene yali ahubhazizya elyoli yasagali bhatamu, enyinza zyakwe umtu oyo zibhaziwe huje lyoli.
Whereas, to him that worketh not, but only believeth in him that justifieth sinners, his faith is accounted to him for righteousness.
6 O Daudi wope ayanga esalifyo hwa mtu yali Ongolobhe abhazizizye elyoli pasepali nembombo.
As David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man, to whom God reckoneth righteousness without works,
7 Ayajile, “Bhasalifiwe bhala bhabhali embibhi zyabho zisajilwe nabhala abhezambe zyabho zyazikwishilwe.
saying: Blessed are they, whose iniquity is forgiven, and whose sins are covered up:
8 Asalifiwe omtu ola nkashele Ogosi sabhazizizye ezambe.”
and, Blessed is the man, to whom God will not reckon his sin.
9 Eshi huje ensalifyo zyabhala bhabhatahiliwe bhene, huje nabha sebhatahiliwe? Eshi tiyanga, “huje o Ibulahimu enyinza zyakwe zyabhaziwe huje lyoli.”
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 Huje yabhaweweleshi? Shila o Ibulahimu ali hu tohala, nantele sasele atahilwe? Sagayali hu tahilwe, eshi ashele tahilwe.
How then was it reckoned to him? In circumcision, or in uncircumcision? 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.
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 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.
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 Hwa huje sanayahali hudajizyo aje eahadi ehafumiziwe hwa Ibulahimu ne papo yakwe, eahadi ene eyaje bhaibhabhagali bhesi huje ehaliashelenle ehaki eyenyinza.
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 Huje eshi nashi bhala bhe ndajizyo huje bhagali, enyinzizili nahamo, ne ahadi egalu zenywe.
For if they who are of the law were heirs, faith would be made void, and the promise of no force.
15 Huje eshi edajizyo zileta ilyoyo, huje pala pasepali nedajizyo, nahumo huje huli eshishi.
For the law is a worker of wrath; because where no law is, there is no transgression of law.
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,
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 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 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 Hata zibhe zyoti zya hwoze, Abulahamu abhejivi amawaminiye Ongolobhe hu siku zyazihwenza. Eshi abha baba wesi enyinji alengane nahala hahagajilwe,”... Esho shayaibha empapo yaho.”
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 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.
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 Eshi alengane ne ahadi eya Ngolobhe, o Ibulahimu sagasitile ahumweteshe. Nantele, apewilwe eguvu hunyinza nantele asombele Ongolobhe.
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 Ali amenye loli aje hala hahali Ongolobhe haaidiye ali nouwezo owa hakamilisye.
and felt assured, that what God had promised to him, he was able to fulfill.
22 Hweli lyope lyabhaziwe humwene abha haki.
And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.
23 Eshi sagayasimbwilwe wene hufaida yakwe, aje yabhaziwe hwa mwene.
And not for his sake alone, was it written, that his faith was accounted for righteousness;
24 Yasimbwilwe huliti nantele, hwa bhabhishewe abhaziwe atetatili tihweteha aje omwene azyozyeze Ogosi wetu oYesu afume hwa bhafwe.
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 Ono yayola yalifumiziwe hu mbibhi zetu nazyosewe aje tipate abhaziwe ehaki.
who was delivered up, on account of our sins; and arose, that he might justify us.
