Erromatarrei 4
1 Cer beraz erranen dugu gure aita Abrahamec eriden duela haraguiaren arauez?
WHAT then shall we say that Abraham our father hath obtained by the flesh?
2 Ecen baldin Abraham obréz iustificatu içan bada, badu cerçaz gloria dadin, baina ez Iaincoa baithan.
For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath cause for glorying; though not before God.
3 Baina cer dio Scripturác? Sinhetsi vkan du Abrahamec Iaincoa, eta imputatu içan çayó iustitiatara.
For what doth the scripture say? Abraham truly believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.
4 Baina obratzen duenari alocairua etzayó gratiatan contatzen baina hartzetan:
Now to him that worketh, the reward is not brought to account as a favour, but as a debt.
5 Ordea obratzen eztuenari, baina gaichtoa iustificatzen duena baithan sinhesten duenari, bere fedea iustitiatan contatzen çayó.
But to him who doth not work, but believeth in him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned in account for righteousness.
6 Nola Dauidec-ere declaratzen baitu Iaincoac obrác gabe iustitiá imputatzen draucan guiçonaren dohain-ontassuna, dioela,
As David also describeth the blessedness of that man, to whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Dohatsu dirade ceinén iniquitateac quittatu içan baitirade eta ceinén bekatuac estali içan baitirade.
“Blessed are they whose unrighteousnesses are forgiven, and whose sins are covered up.
8 Dohatsu da Iaunac bekatua imputatu eztrauqueon guiçona.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will in nowise impute sin.”
9 Bada dohain-ontassun haur, circoncisionean da solament ala bay preputioan-ere? Ecen erraiten dugu imputatu içan çayola Abrahami fedea iustitiatan.
This blessedness then, is it for the circumcision, or for the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Nola bada imputatu içan çayo? circoncisionean cela, ala preputioan? ez circoncisionean, baina preputioan.
How then was it imputed to him? when circumcised, or while uncircumcised? Not when circumcised, but whilst uncircumcised.
11 Guero recebi ceçan circoncisionearen seignalea, fedealen iustitiataco cigulutan cein baitzen preputioan: preputioan diradela sinhesten duten gucién aita licençát, hæy-ere iustitiá imputa lequiençát:
And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had when uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all those who believe, though uncircumcised; that to them also the righteousness might be imputed:
12 Eta circonsionearen aita, erran nahi da, ez circoncisionecoén solament, baina gure aita Abrahamen fede preputioan çuenaren hatzari darreizconen-ere.
and the father of circumcision, not to those who are of the circumcision merely, but who also tread in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he exercised while uncircumcised.
13 Ecen promessa etzayó Legueaz heldu içan Abrahami, edo haren haciari, munduaren heredero içateco, baina fedeazco iustitiáz.
For not by the law came the promise to Abraham and his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but by the righteousness of faith.
14 Ecen baldin Leguetic diradenac, heredero badirade ezdeus bilhatu da fedea, eta iraungui da promessa.
For if they who are of the law are heirs, faith becomes vain, and the promise is useless:
15 Ceren Legueac hirá engendratzen baitu: ecen non ezpaita legueric, han ezta transgressioneric
for the law causeth wrath: for where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
16 Harren fedez da heretagea, gratiaz dençát, promessa haci guciaren fermu dençát: ez Leguetic den haciaren solament, baina Abrahamen fedetic denaren-ere, cein baita gure gución aita,
Therefore it is by faith, that it might be of grace; in order that the promise might be secured to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 (Scribatua den beçala, Anhitz nationeren aita ordenatu vkan aut) Iaincoaren aitzinean, cein sinhetsi vkan baitu: ceinec hiley vicitze emaiten baitraue, eta deitzen baititu eztiraden gauçác balirade beçala.
(as it is written “that I have constituted thee father of many nations,”) before God, in whom he trusted, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth things that are not as if existing.
18 Ceinec sperançaren contra sperançaz sinhets baitzeçan, anhitz nationeren aita içanen cela: erran içan çayonaren araura, Hala içanen duc hire hacia.
Who contrary to hope, in hope believed, that he should be the father of many nations, according to what was said, “So shall thy seed be.”
19 Eta fedean flaccu ez içanez, etzeçan behá bere gorputz ia hilera, ehun vrtheren inguruä baçuen-ere: ezeta Sararen vmunci ia hilera.
And not being weak in faith, he regarded not his own body now deadened, being about an hundred years old, nor the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
20 Eta Iaincoaren promessaren gainean etzeçan duda incredulitatez: baina fortifica cedin fedez Iaincoari gloria emanic:
for he disputed not against the promise of God with unbelief; but was mighty in faith, giving glory to God;
21 Eta frangoqui seguraturic, ecen hari promes eguin ceraucana, botheretsu cela eguiteco-ere.
and enjoyed the fullest assurance, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 Halacotz haur -ere iustitiatan imputatu içan çayo.
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Eta ezta scribatu içan harengatic solament, ecen haur iustitiatan imputatu içan çayola:
Now it was not written for his sake only, that it was imputed to him;
24 Baina guregatic-ere, ceini imputaturen baitzaicu, Iesus gure Iauna hiletaric resuscitatu duena baithan sinhesten dugunoy,
but also for our sakes, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe in him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Cein heriotara liuratu içan baita gure bekatuacgatic, eta resuscitatu gure iustificationeagatic.
who was delivered up for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
