1 ଅସ୍ମାକଂ ପୂର୍ୱ୍ୱପୁରୁଷ ଇବ୍ରାହୀମ୍ କାଯିକକ୍ରିଯଯା କିଂ ଲବ୍ଧୱାନ୍ ଏତଦଧି କିଂ ୱଦିଷ୍ୟାମଃ?
WHAT shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 ସ ଯଦି ନିଜକ୍ରିଯାଭ୍ୟଃ ସପୁଣ୍ୟୋ ଭୱେତ୍ ତର୍ହି ତସ୍ୟାତ୍ମଶ୍ଲାଘାଂ କର୍ତ୍ତୁଂ ପନ୍ଥା ଭୱେଦିତି ସତ୍ୟଂ, କିନ୍ତ୍ୱୀଶ୍ୱରସ୍ୟ ସମୀପେ ନହି|
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରେ କିଂ ଲିଖତି? ଇବ୍ରାହୀମ୍ ଈଶ୍ୱରେ ୱିଶ୍ୱସନାତ୍ ସ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସସ୍ତସ୍ମୈ ପୁଣ୍ୟାର୍ଥଂ ଗଣିତୋ ବଭୂୱ|
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 କର୍ମ୍ମକାରିଣୋ ଯଦ୍ ୱେତନଂ ତଦ୍ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହସ୍ୟ ଫଲଂ ନହି କିନ୍ତୁ ତେନୋପାର୍ଜିତଂ ମନ୍ତୱ୍ୟମ୍|
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯଃ ପାପିନଂ ସପୁଣ୍ୟୀକରୋତି ତସ୍ମିନ୍ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସିନଃ କର୍ମ୍ମହୀନସ୍ୟ ଜନସ୍ୟ ଯୋ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସଃ ସ ପୁଣ୍ୟାର୍ଥଂ ଗଣ୍ୟୋ ଭୱତି|
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 ଅପରଂ ଯଂ କ୍ରିଯାହୀନମ୍ ଈଶ୍ୱରଃ ସପୁଣ୍ୟୀକରୋତି ତସ୍ୟ ଧନ୍ୟୱାଦଂ ଦାଯୂଦ୍ ୱର୍ଣଯାମାସ, ଯଥା,
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 ସ ଧନ୍ୟୋଽଘାନି ମୃଷ୍ଟାନି ଯସ୍ୟାଗାଂସ୍ୟାୱୃତାନି ଚ|
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 ସ ଚ ଧନ୍ୟଃ ପରେଶେନ ପାପଂ ଯସ୍ୟ ନ ଗଣ୍ୟତେ|
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 ଏଷ ଧନ୍ୟୱାଦସ୍ତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦିନମ୍ ଅତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦିନଂ ୱା କଂ ପ୍ରତି ଭୱତି? ଇବ୍ରାହୀମୋ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସଃ ପୁଣ୍ୟାର୍ଥଂ ଗଣିତ ଇତି ୱଯଂ ୱଦାମଃ|
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 ସ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସସ୍ତସ୍ୟ ତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦିତ୍ୱାୱସ୍ଥାଯାଂ କିମ୍ ଅତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦିତ୍ୱାୱସ୍ଥାଯାଂ କସ୍ମିନ୍ ସମଯେ ପୁଣ୍ୟମିୱ ଗଣିତଃ? ତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦିତ୍ୱାୱସ୍ଥାଯାଂ ନହି କିନ୍ତ୍ୱତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦିତ୍ୱାୱସ୍ଥାଯାଂ|
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 ଅପରଞ୍ଚ ସ ଯତ୍ ସର୍ୱ୍ୱେଷାମ୍ ଅତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦିନାଂ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସିନାମ୍ ଆଦିପୁରୁଷୋ ଭୱେତ୍, ତେ ଚ ପୁଣ୍ୟୱତ୍ତ୍ୱେନ ଗଣ୍ୟେରନ୍;
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 be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12 ଯେ ଚ ଲୋକାଃ କେୱଲଂ ଛିନ୍ନତ୍ୱଚୋ ନ ସନ୍ତୋ ଽସ୍ମତ୍ପୂର୍ୱ୍ୱପୁରୁଷ ଇବ୍ରାହୀମ୍ ଅଛିନ୍ନତ୍ୱକ୍ ସନ୍ ଯେନ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସମାର୍ଗେଣ ଗତୱାନ୍ ତେନୈୱ ତସ୍ୟ ପାଦଚିହ୍ନେନ ଗଚ୍ଛନ୍ତି ତେଷାଂ ତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦିନାମପ୍ୟାଦିପୁରୁଷୋ ଭୱେତ୍ ତଦର୍ଥମ୍ ଅତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦିନୋ ମାନୱସ୍ୟ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସାତ୍ ପୁଣ୍ୟମ୍ ଉତ୍ପଦ୍ୟତ ଇତି ପ୍ରମାଣସ୍ୱରୂପଂ ତ୍ୱକ୍ଛେଦଚିହ୍ନଂ ସ ପ୍ରାପ୍ନୋତ୍|
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 ଇବ୍ରାହୀମ୍ ଜଗତୋଽଧିକାରୀ ଭୱିଷ୍ୟତି ଯୈଷା ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା ତଂ ତସ୍ୟ ୱଂଶଞ୍ଚ ପ୍ରତି ପୂର୍ୱ୍ୱମ୍ ଅକ୍ରିଯତ ସା ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥାମୂଲିକା ନହି କିନ୍ତୁ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସଜନ୍ୟପୁଣ୍ୟମୂଲିକା|
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 ଯତୋ ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥାୱଲମ୍ବିନୋ ଯଦ୍ୟଧିକାରିଣୋ ଭୱନ୍ତି ତର୍ହି ୱିଶ୍ୱାସୋ ୱିଫଲୋ ଜାଯତେ ସା ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାପି ଲୁପ୍ତୈୱ|
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 ଅଧିକନ୍ତୁ ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥା କୋପଂ ଜନଯତି ଯତୋ ଽୱିଦ୍ୟମାନାଯାଂ ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥାଯାମ୍ ଆଜ୍ଞାଲଙ୍ଘନଂ ନ ସମ୍ଭୱତି|
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16 ଅତଏୱ ସା ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା ଯଦ୍ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହସ୍ୟ ଫଲଂ ଭୱେତ୍ ତଦର୍ଥଂ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସମୂଲିକା ଯତସ୍ତଥାତ୍ୱେ ତଦ୍ୱଂଶସମୁଦାଯଂ ପ୍ରତି ଅର୍ଥତୋ ଯେ ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥଯା ତଦ୍ୱଂଶସମ୍ଭୱାଃ କେୱଲଂ ତାନ୍ ପ୍ରତି ନହି କିନ୍ତୁ ଯ ଇବ୍ରାହୀମୀଯୱିଶ୍ୱାସେନ ତତ୍ସମ୍ଭୱାସ୍ତାନପି ପ୍ରତି ସା ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା ସ୍ଥାସ୍ନୁର୍ଭୱତି|
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 ଯୋ ନିର୍ଜୀୱାନ୍ ସଜୀୱାନ୍ ଅୱିଦ୍ୟମାନାନି ୱସ୍ତୂନି ଚ ୱିଦ୍ୟମାନାନି କରୋତି ଇବ୍ରାହୀମୋ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସଭୂମେସ୍ତସ୍ୟେଶ୍ୱରସ୍ୟ ସାକ୍ଷାତ୍ ସୋଽସ୍ମାକଂ ସର୍ୱ୍ୱେଷାମ୍ ଆଦିପୁରୁଷ ଆସ୍ତେ, ଯଥା ଲିଖିତଂ ୱିଦ୍ୟତେ, ଅହଂ ତ୍ୱାଂ ବହୁଜାତୀନାମ୍ ଆଦିପୁରୁଷଂ କୃତ୍ୱା ନିଯୁକ୍ତୱାନ୍|
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, ) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 ତ୍ୱଦୀଯସ୍ତାଦୃଶୋ ୱଂଶୋ ଜନିଷ୍ୟତେ ଯଦିଦଂ ୱାକ୍ୟଂ ପ୍ରତିଶ୍ରୁତଂ ତଦନୁସାରାଦ୍ ଇବ୍ରାହୀମ୍ ବହୁଦେଶୀଯଲୋକାନାମ୍ ଆଦିପୁରୁଷୋ ଯଦ୍ ଭୱତି ତଦର୍ଥଂ ସୋଽନପେକ୍ଷିତୱ୍ୟମପ୍ୟପେକ୍ଷମାଣୋ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସଂ କୃତୱାନ୍|
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
20 ଅପରମ୍ ଅୱିଶ୍ୱାସାଦ୍ ଈଶ୍ୱରସ୍ୟ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାୱଚନେ କମପି ସଂଶଯଂ ନ ଚକାର;
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 ଇତି ହେତୋସ୍ତସ୍ୟ ସ ୱିଶ୍ୱାସସ୍ତଦୀଯପୁଣ୍ୟମିୱ ଗଣଯାଞ୍ଚକ୍ରେ|
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 ଯତୋଽସ୍ମାକଂ ପାପନାଶାର୍ଥଂ ସମର୍ପିତୋଽସ୍ମାକଂ ପୁଣ୍ୟପ୍ରାପ୍ତ୍ୟର୍ଥଞ୍ଚୋତ୍ଥାପିତୋଽଭୱତ୍ ଯୋଽସ୍ମାକଂ ପ୍ରଭୁ ର୍ୟୀଶୁସ୍ତସ୍ୟୋତ୍ଥାପଯିତରୀଶ୍ୱରେ
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
