Roman 4
1 Vbvrikunamv, ngonu oguv vla minladu, Abraham, ngonugv halung gv abu vre? Ninyigv rikivngki kunamv ogugukudw?
What then shall we say that Abraham our father has discovered according to the flesh?
2 Vkvgv rinam dvdv lokv Pwknvyarnv kaagelo tarwkbak bv vvpv kubolo, hv oguogu rinam dvdv lvkwnglo googv svgobv ridu—vbvritola Pwknvyarnv gv kaagelo rimadu.
If Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
3 Darwknv kitap vv mindu, “Abraham Pwknvyarnvnyi mvngjwngto, okv ogulvgavbolo ninyigv mvngjwng lokv Pwknvyarnv ninyia darwknv gobv laarwk sito.”
For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
4 Yvvnyiv riduvngdudw um rijo ngam jidu, vbvritola hv bunua anyuamin jinam gobv mvngmadu; hv bunugv ogugo paadudw vv nyingnam lokv paadu.
Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift, but as something owed to him.
5 Vbvritola yvvdw mvngjwng lo mvngging dudw, rinamgwngnam lokv mabv, okv yvvdw Pwknvyarnvnyi mvngjwng dunv oogv rimur nvnga apaamanv nga alvmanv gobv minv, vkvgv so mvngjwng lokv Pwknvyarnv sapkamsapa la vvpvdu bunua ninyigv atubogv gvlo tarwkbak bv laalwk kunam lvgabv.
However, to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,
6 Nyidam akonyi Pwknvyarnv tarwkbak nvgobv turwk sitoku ninyigv kudungkua rikunama miya kumabv v achialvbv mvngputo ho mvngpu nam lvkwng bv Dabid svbv minto.
just as David also speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 “Mvngpuv oogv yvvgv rigakpanam am mvngnga pvkudw, yvvgv rimur vdwa mvngnga pvkudw!
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 yvvnyi rimur am Ahtu sapkamsapa namlo vvpv mapvdw vv mvngpuv!”
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord will never count sin.”
9 Soogv mvngpuv vla minamv Dabid yvvnyi ayakmvu lwknam mvngchik lvgabv mimwng pvnvre? Ma vbvrinam lokvma, si ayakmvu lwkmanam jeka. Ngonu Darwknv kitap lokv kaala kuju, “Abraham Pwknvyarnvnyi mvngjwngto, okv ogulvgavbolo ninyigv mvngjwng lokv Pwknvyarnv darwknv gobv ninyia laarwk sitoku.”
Is this blessedness then only for the circumcised, or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say, “Faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.”
10 Vdwlo sum laarwk sipvnv? Kvvlo Abrahamnyi ayakmvu madv yilore vmalo ayakmvu ronga pvku are? Si kvvlo lokvku, kokwngloma.
How then was it counted? When he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not when he was circumcised, but when he was uncircumcised.
11 Hv ayakmvu ropvku kokwng lo, okv ninyigv ayakmvu jinam nga kaatam la rito ogulvgavbolo ninyigv mvngjwng lokv Pwknvyarnv darwknv bv ninyia laarwk sitoku oogv richo pukua ayakmvua mvpvkunv. Okv vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnv lo mvngjwng la doonv dvdvgv Darwkchongjor gvnv abu bv Abrahamnyi mindunv okv ninyi gvlo gvngv darwk nvbv laarwk sidunv, hv bunua ayakmvu majvka laarwk sitoku.
He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe when they are uncircumcised, so that righteousness might be counted to them as well,
12 Hv ka yvvdw ayakmvu pvdw vkvgv abu bv ridukunv, si, yvvdw, ayakmvu minggv kunv gvbvka rinv, Abraham gv dootv madvyilo gvngv kvvlo gv mvngjwng la doodu kalam la donv hv ka ayakmvu pvkunam vkvgv abu bvka ridunv.
and so that he might be the father of those who are not only circumcised in the flesh, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had when he was uncircumcised.
13 Abraham nyila okv ninyigv husi vdwa nyiamookuv ninyi gvbv rire vla milv jinama, hv vbv mvtoku, ogulvgavbolo Abraham Pvbv am tvvnam lokvma vbvritola vkvlvgavbolo hv mvngjwng toku okv darwk kunam lokv Pwknvyarnv gvlo laarwk sila ritoku.
For the promise to Abraham, or to his offspring, that he would be the heir of the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Pvbv am tvvnv vdw sum Pwknvyarnv gv ogunv milvpvdw um jibolo, mvngjwng namsi anyung kaakumare okv Pwknvyarnv gv milv pvkunam vv ogubvka riku mare.
For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith has been made void and the promise has been invalidated,
15 Pvbv vv Pwknvyarnv gv haachiak nvnga laalwk moludo; vbvritola ogolo Pvbv kaama pvdw, hoka Pvbv a tvvmabv ridung dubv riku kamadu.
because the law brings wrath; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.
16 Okv mvngjwng nga kaala yikula milv nam nga milin pvnv, vv Abraham gv singsit dvdv ngam Pwknvyarnv gv vbv anyuamin bv jinam gobv rirungdubv milv pvvjitoku—yvvdw Pvbv am tvvdudw o mvngchik gvbv ma, vbvritola yvvdw Abraham aingbv mvngjwng dudw holvgabvka jidu. Abraham ngonu mvnwng gv lvgabv yalu gv abu riduku;
For this reason the promise comes by faith, so that it may be according to grace and be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring, not only to the one who is of the law, but also to the one who is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
17 Darwknv kitap v vbv mindu, “Ngo nam diringmooku mvnwng gv abu bv rimu pvkunv.” Vkvlvgabv milv pvvnamv Pwknvyarnv gv kaagia lo alvnvbv rito, yvvnyi Abraham mvngjwng pvdw—Pwknvyarnv sikunvnga turmu toku okv oguguchin kaama nvnga ka gamki lokv doomu toku.
(just as it is written, “I have made yoʋ the father of many nations”). He is our father in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.
18 Abraham mvngjwng laku okv mvngtin toku, vdwlo ogu mvngtin pvvsvgo kaama jvka mvngtin pvvla rito, okv vkvlvgabv “diringmooku mvnwng gv abu bv kokwng lo ridukubv rito.” Vjak vbv Darwknv kitap v minjidu, “noogv husiv nyido takar aingbv rire.”
Against all hope Abraham believed in hope that he would become the father of many nations according to what had been spoken: “So shall yoʋr offspring be.”
19 Hvkvgv anying ngv lvnggo bv ritoku; vbvrijvka ninyigv haapok lo adwnamar bv vdwgo nyikam kubvka ninyigv mvngjwng nam nga nyeka moma to, oogv adwnayak v sinro kubvka, Vmajvka vbvka rita doonv si sara ka umvuu doodu bvka riku mato.
Because he was not weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, now as good as dead (since he was somewhere around a hundred years old), or the deadness of Sarah's womb.
20 Ninyigv mvngjwng nam nga hv tupak mabv ridula, okv ninyi Pwknvyarnv gv milvpvvnam aka mvngsarnam bv rimato; ninyigv mvngjwng ngv jwkrw gobv rilwk toku, okv Pwknvyarnvnyi umbonyikv vla hartv jitoku.
And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God
21 Hv ogunvgo milv pvpvdw um Pwknvyarnv rirungre mvngla hv mvngtin pvvtoku.
and being fully assured that God was able to do what he had promised.
22 Vv ogulvkwngbv Abraham, mvngjwng lokv vbolo, “Pwknvyarnv darwknv gobv laarwk sipv kunv.”
Therefore, “it was counted to him as righteousness.”
23 Gaam vdw lokv “Hv darwknv gobv laarwk sinam” vkvgvlvga mvngchik ninyia lvkmato.
Now the statement “it was counted to him” was not written only for Abraham's sake,
24 Hv bunu ngonu aka yvvnyidw darwknv bv laarwk sirekudw, yvvdw Jisunyi ngonugv Ahtu sipikula turkur pvkunv mvngla ninyia mvngjwng dudw holvgabvka lvklwk jidu,
but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 Ogulvgavbolo hv ngonu rimur lvgabv silwk jipvnv, okv Pwknvyarnv gv lvkobv tarwkbak bv ngonua doomu dukubv hv turap pvkunv.
who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.
