Baloma 4
1 Nomba twambe cani afwe Bayuda pamushali wetu Abulahamu? Nibyani mbyalacana mubuyumi bwakendi?
What shall we saye then that Abraham oure father as pertayninge to ye flesshe dyd finde?
2 Na walalulamikwa ne Lesa kupitila mubintu mbyalensa, nshinga nalacana pakulitukumunina. Nomba liya kulitukumuna pamenso a Lesa sobwe.
If Abraham were iustified by dedes the hath he wherin to reioyce: but not with god.
3 Nomba Mabala alambangaconi? Akute kwambeti “Abulahamu walashoma Lesa, kayi mpwalashoma, Lesa walamubona kwambeti walulama.”
For what sayth the scripture? Abraham beleved god and it was counted vnto him for rightewesnes.
4 Muntu asebensa ncito, ukute kutambula malipilo. Nomba nteko kwambeti ni cipo sobwe, nsombi tukute kwambeti embyelela kutambula pacebo ca ncito yakendi.
To him that worketh is the rewarde not reckened of favour: but of duty.
5 Muntu lashomo kwakubula kushimpila mu ncito shakendi ne kushoma muli Lesa, Lesa eukute kumuboneti nimuyawu, ulu elushomo Lesa ndwakute kulangaula kwambeti abe walulama pamenso akendi.
To him that worketh not but beleveth on him that iustifieth the vngodly is his fayth counted for rightewesnes.
6 Nendi Dafeti walamba copeleco pacindi mpwalambeti ukute colwe uyo Lesa ngwalasuminisheti walulama kwakubula pacebo cabintu mbyalenshi. Walambeti,
Even as David describeth the blessedfulnes of the man vnto whom god ascribeth rihgtewesnes without dedes.
7 “Bakute colwe bantu Lesa bwalalekelela bwipishi bwabo, Abo mbwalashimanganya bwipishi bwabo,
Blessed are they whose vnrightewesnes are forgeven and whose synnes are covered.
8 Ukute colwe muntuyo Mwami ngweshakabule kubelengela bwipishi bwakendi.”
Blessed is that ma to whom the Lorde imputeth not synne.
9 Sena colwe ici nica bantu bapalulwa bonka nambi ne babula kupalulwa? Sobwe naboyo babula kupalulwa nikwabo. Pakwinga Mabala ngotulambapo alambangeti, “Abulahamu walashoma Lesa, lino mpwalashoma walacanika kwambeti walulama pamenso a Lesa.”
Came this blessednes then vpon the circumcised or vpon the vncircucised? We saye verely how that fayth was rekened to Abraham for rightewesnes.
10 Nomba ibi byalenshika lilyoni? Sena nipacindi mpwalapalulwa nambi katana? Nkabyalenshika mpwalapalulwa sobwe nsombi nkatana apalulwa.
How was it rekened? in the tyme of circumcision? or in the tyme before he was circumcised? Not in tyme of circucision: but when he was yet vncircumcised.
11 Kupalulwa kwalenshika panyuma pakendi, kwambeti cikabe cishibisho cebo calushomo lwakendi nambi nkalikuba wapalulwa, nsombi walacanika kwambeti walulama pamenso a Lesa mpwalashoma. Neco Abulahamu nimushali wabo bonse bashoma Lesa, kayi Lesa ukute kumubona kuba muntu walulama nambi nkapalulwa.
And he receaved the signe of circumcision as a seale of yt rightewesnes which is by fayth which fayth he had yet beynge vncircucised: that he shuld be the father of all them that beleve though they be not circumcised that rightewesnes myght be imputed to them also:
12 Kayi ni mushali wa bonse bapalulwa, kutamba bonka bapalulwa mumubili monka, nsombi uyo ukute kukonka citondesho ca lushomo lwa mushali wetu Abulahamu nkatana apalulwa.
and that he myght be the father of the circumcised not because they are circumcised only: but because they walke also in the steppes of that fayth yt was in oure father Abraham before the tyme of circumcision.
13 Abulahamu ne bashikulu bakendi balatambula cishomesho cakwambeti cishi capanshi nicikabe cabo. Balatambula cishomesho ici, nteko kupitila mukukonkela Milawo sobwe, nsombi pacebo ca kululama kulafumunga mulushomo.
For the promes that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde was not geven to Abraha or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow ye rightewesnes which cometh of fayth.
14 Neco na cishomesho ca Lesa nicikapewe kuli balakonkelenga Milawo, ekwambeti lushomo luliyawa ncito kayi ne cishomesho ca Lesa nicabulyo.
For yf they which are of the lawe be heyres then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte.
15 Milawo ikute kuleta bukalu bwa Lesa, nsombi kwabula Milawo kuliyawa kayi ne kwipwaya.
Because the lawe causeth wrathe. For where no lawe is there is no trasgression.
16 Neco cishomesho calapewa kupitila mulushomo, kwambeti cibe cipo ca Lesa ncalalaya kuli bonse bashikulu ba Abulahamu ntebo bonka balakonkelenga Milawo, nsombi ne kuli bashoma mbuli Abulahamu ncalensa, pakwinga Abulahamu ni mushali wetu twense.
Therfore by fayth is the inheritauce geven that it myght come of faveour: and the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the lawe: but also to them which are of the fayth of Abraham which is the father of vs all.
17 Pakwinga Mabala alambangeti, “Ndakubiki kwambeti ube mushali wa mishobo ingi ya bantu.” Cishomesho ici Abulahamu walacitambula kuli Lesa ngwalikuba washoma. Endiye Lesa ukute kubweshela buyumi kubantu bafwa, kayi kupitila mu maswi akendi ukute kupesheti bintu byabulapo bibepo.
As it is wrytten: I have made the a father to many nacions even before god whom thou hast beleved which quyckeneth the deed and called those thinges which be not as though they were.
18 Lesa walambeti, “bashukulu bakobe nibakafule.” Neco nendi walapitilisha kushoma ne kukabeti nkabyalikuba bintu byeshibikwa, weco nendi walaba mushali wa mishobo ingi ya bantu.
Which Abraham contrary to hope beleved in hope that he shuld be the father of many nacions accordynge to that which was spoken:
19 Byaka byakendi byalikuba byakwana pepi mwanda. Nomba lushomo lwakendi luliya kulefuka nambi mubili wakendi walabeti wafwa cebo cakucekula. Neye Sala walikuba wayuma palibunda.
So shall thy seed be. And he faynted not in the fayth nor yet consydered hys awne body which was now deed even when he was almost an hondred yeare olde: nether yet that Sara was past chyldeberinge.
20 Nendi uliya kutaya lushomo kayi nkalacitonshanya cishomesho ca Lesa sobwe, nsombi walapitilisha kushoma ne kulumbaisha Lesa.
He stackered not at the promes of God thorow vnbelefe: but was made stronge in the fayth and gave honour to God
21 Walashomeshesha kwambeti Lesa nakacikonshe kwinsa bintu mbyalamushomesha.
full certifyed that what he had promised that he was able to make good.
22 Weco, mbuli maswi a Lesa ncalambilingeti, “Lesa walamubona kuba walulama.”
And therfore was it reckened to him for rightewesnes.
23 Mabala alambangeti, “Lesa walamubona kwambeti walulama,” Nkalambanga shakendi enka sobwe.
It is not written for him only that it was reckened to him for rightewesnes:
24 Nsombi alambanga kayi pali njafwe tweshi tukacaniketi twalulama pakushoma Lesa, uyo walapundusha Yesu Mwami wetu kubafu.
but also for vs to whom it shalbe counted for rightewesnes so we beleve on him that raysed vp Iesus oure Lorde from deeth.
25 Yesu walabengwa kwambeti afwe pacebo ca bwipishi bwetu, kayi walapunduka kubafu kwambeti tube balulama pamenso a Lesa.
Which was delivered for oure synnes and rose agayne forto iustifie vs.
