Romans 4
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
Erah ang abah, sengte sengwah jih ajaat Abraham asuh seng ih tumjih li ih? Heh ih jatje arah tumjijih rah ah?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
Heh reeraang dang ajang jun ih Rangte ngathong nah Abraham ah kateng angta bah, heh ah engaampo jih angta—enoothong Rangte miksok dobah tajen ngaampooka.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Rangteele ni liiha, “Abraham ih Rangte ah tuungmaang etta, erah tuungmaang jun ih Rangte ih heh ah kateng et thiikta”
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
Marah mina moot ni kala abah lakbi thaang ah chola, erah suh thaangmuh lakkot liijih tah angka; erah chola ah heh lakniik thaang.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
Enoothong, marah mina heh mookaat suh lah angthang ih heh hanpi suh laalomte ah, ethih ah ese et jenlekte wah Rangte suh hanpiila, eno erah hanpiila thaang ah kateng mina et thiik ah.
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
Erah raang ih Dewid ih, o mina neng mootkaat muh taat ang abah uh, Rangte ih kateng et thiik rum ano tenroon chote loong asuh amet liiha:
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
“O thetre biin anaan ha loong ah tenroon ang ah, nyia neng rangdah biin anaan ha loong uh tenroon ang ah!
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
Marah mina rangdah Teesu ih larookweka loong ah tenroon ang ah!”
9 Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
Erah tenroon tiit ah Dewid ih baat ha rah khoopkhan banlam hoonchoote loong suh laklak tam baat ha? Emah tah angka! Erah khoopkhan banlam hoon mute loong suh nep baat ha. Tumeah Rangteele ni amet liiha, “Abraham ih Rangte suh hanpiita, erah thoidi heh ah Rangte ih kateng et thiikta.”
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Erah babah angta? Abraham heh khoopkhan banlam maang hoon di tam angta, tamale erah lini angta? Erah heh khoopkhan banlam maang hoon di angta, lini tah angka.
11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
Abraham khoopkhanta banlam ah sin esiit angta heh ah Rangte suh hanpiite ang kano laalek heh ah kateng ih thiikjih angta. Erah thoidi Abraham ah deek akaan ni chiiala pan loongtang raangtaan ih hewah roop angta, mina loong neng khoopkhan banlam hoon muh taat ang abah uh, Rangte suh hanpiite loong abah heh ih kateng et thiik ah.
12 He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
Abraham ah khoopkhan banlam hoonchoote loong raangtaan ih uh neng waroop, erah langla khoopkhan luulu lah angthang ih, sengte sengwah Abraham heh khoopkhan banlam maang hoon di laalomta ah likhiik neng loong ah uh emamah ih laalomla.
13 For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Rangte ih Abraham nyia heh sutoom satoom loong suh kakhamta adi mongrep ah heh raangtaan ang ah ih baatta, eno amiimiisak langta, erah langla Abraham ih Hootthe liphan thaang ih tah angta, enoothong heh hanpi nyia Rangte ih heh ah kateng et thiik thoidi angta.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
Tumeah Rangte kakham ah Hootthe lathong ni songtongte loong raangtaan ih mok ang abah, heh suh tuungmaang nyia heh kakham ah thaangmuh ih hoon ah.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
Hootthe ih Rangte tenkhat ah datpoon ah; enoothong marah di hootthe tajeeka, erah doh hootthe thaangju theng uh tajeeka ang ah.
16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, 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.
Erah thoidi kakham ah tuungmaang jun ih ang ah, tumeah Rangte kakham ah Abraham sutoom loong suh thaangmuh ih kottheng thiinta—Hootthe lathong ni songtongte loong suh laklak lah angthang ih, Abraham ih hanpiita likhiik o ih hanpiiha erah loong suh nep koha. Erah thoidi Abraham ah chiiala lam ni seng waroop;
17 As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
Rangteele ni liiha likhiik ah, “Ngah ih an deek akaan rep raangtaan ih waroop ang thuk ha.” Erah kakham ah, marah Abraham ih hanpiita Rangte miksok di ese—tek nawa ngaakthing thukte nyia heh jengkhaap nawa ih jaatrep maangdi lajeeta loong ah jen dongsiitte Rangte suh ah.
18 Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
Laalomjih lah angka di, Abraham ih hanpi nyia laalom etta, erah thoih “deek akaan rep waroop ang thukta.” Rangteele ni liiha likhiik ah, “An sutoom satoom loong ah reksih thanthan ih jaatjaang ah.”
19 Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
Erah tok adi Abraham ah paang chaasiit angta; enoothong teekaang taat ang abah uh heh tuungmaang ah kamkam angta, amiidi heh ah tek nanah angta eno heh minuh Saara uh heh sah tajeeta.
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
Heh tuungmaang jun ih Rangte kakham asuh tenchi tah angta; heh tuungmaang adi chaan aphaan eje angta, eno heh ih Rangte rangphoong ruh eta.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
Rangte kakhamta asuh Abraham ah kamkam ih laalomta.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
Erah thoidi Abraham ah, heh tuungmaang jun ih “Rangte ih kateng ih thiikta.”
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
Marah Abraham suh “Kateng et liita” erah langla heh suh luulu li tiit taraangka
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Seng loong o kateng et thiik he erah loong raangtaan ih nep raangha nyia Jisu Kristo tek nawa we ngaakthing thukta ih hanpiihi loong ah suh nep raangha.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Tumeah seng rangdah thoi ih heh roidong ah tek haat thukta, eno Rangte ngathong nah seng loong ah kateng angsuh we ngaakthing thukta.
