Romans 4
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
Tulowa longela namani kai panga Abraham, Tate bitu kwa ndela yenga, Apatikine?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
Kwa Mana manaitei Abraham abalangilwe haki kwa matendo apeba na sababu ya kulumba, ila sio nnonge ya Nnongo.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Kwani maandiko gabaya buli?”Abraham amwamini Nnongo, na abalangilwe panga abi na haki”.
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
Tumbwe kwa mundu jwa pangage lyengo, libilwa kwake kwa ubaya lili kwa bule ila ni haki yake.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
Ila kwa mundu jwange panga lyengo ila amwombilwa jwembe amalangwa haki jwa bile Lili mcha Nnongo, imani yake mundu jwo ibalangilwe panga ibi na haki.
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
Daudi na jwembe alongela kuhusu baraka kwa mundu ambae Nnongo amalanga haki bila matendo.
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Akojike, “Babalikilwe balo masambi gabe basamiilwe na bembe nembe ubaya wabe utiwikejelwa.
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
Atibalikilwa mundu julo ambae Nnongo amalangwa lili na dhambi.
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.
Buli baraka yii ibii'kwaajili ya bandu babainilwe bai, au na babakotwike inilwa? mana twenda longela, “Kwa Abraham aminia kwake yabalangilwe panga haki”.
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Ivi twabalangilwe kitiwi? Wakati Abraham ainilwe au bado inilwa? Yabilelii ainilwe, Ila abi bado inilwa.
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 apoki alama ya likombe. Agogo wabile muhuri yelo haki ya imani abile nayo tayari kabla ana inilwa-lii. Matokeo gake ga alama aye abalangilwe panga Tate ba bahamini, hata bange inilwa kwinama panga hakinga yabalangilwa.
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.
Ayiee inamana Abraham bampangite tate ba torati sio bainama babainilwe bai, ila hata balo babakotwike kwikote njayo lati bitu Abraham. Nayee nga imani yabile nayo kwa bange inilwa.
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.
Mana yabile-lii kwa seliya kwamba ahadi ipiyilwe kwa Abraham na kwa lukolo lwake, ahadi panga barithi lunia. Ilaa yapitya mu haki ya imani.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
Mana itei mana ya panga balo ba seliya ga'barithi, imani ibile ya bule, Na mwatu aidile ingalabwike.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
Mana seliya ileta ukale, lakini palo panga seliya ntupu. napabile kotoka utii.
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.
Kwasababu yeipitya kwa imani, linga ibe kwa neema. Matokeo gake, ahadi ibii dhaili kwa lukolo lwote, Na lukolo lokisabe ngabatangite seliya bai-lii, ila na balo ba imani ya Abraham. Mana jwembe Tate bitu twa boti.
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.
Kati mwaiandikilwe, “Nikupangite panga tate ba nnema goti”. Abraham abile nkati ya upeo wa julo jwa aminile, yani, Nnongo jwapeya maiti ukoto na kugayeya makowe gaga kotwike bali ngagaweze baa.
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.”
Licha ya ali yoti ya panjaa, Abraham kwojasili aliaminiya Nnongo kwa machoba gagaisa. Ndomana abile tati ba mataifa ganansima. bokana silo sakilongelikwe “Ngamwalowa baa lukolo lwako.
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.
Jwembe abile-lii mpungufu muimani. Abraham ayeketi panga kuwa jenga yake mwene iyomwile was abile na miaka karibu mia jimo. Kaibile na hali yowa ya ndumbo ya Sara.
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
Lakini mwanja mwa mwaidi Nnongo, ........
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
Atangite yo panga che'lo cha mwaidi, Nnongo kaiabi na uwezo wo kamilisha.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
Naji nembe yabalalangilwe kasake panga haki.
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
Naandikilwa soon kwa faida yake bai.
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Yaandikilwe kwa faida jitu twenga. Kwabakilwe balangilwa, Twenga twatuaminiya nkati ya jwembe jwa mfufuwite Nngwana witu Yesu buka mukiwo.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Ajo nga yolo jwapijilwe kwa mwanja ga makosa gitu na kunyonya lenga tupate balangilwa kwa haki.
