Roma 4
1 Nene, Ibrahim uchifi bite nan nya kidowo tibaworu ana se iyang?
What then shall we say of Abraham, our ancestor in the flesh?
2 Bari andi Ibrahim wa se nin katwarik kidowo awa yitu nin nimon fofigiri, tutun na nbun Kutellẹ ba.
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to be proud of, but not before God.
3 Bari iyanghri uliru Kutellẹ na bellin? “Ibrahim na yinni ni liru Kutellẹ inalẹ wa batuzughne mu feu Kutellẹ.”
For what does Scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was set down to his account as righteousness.
4 Nene urika na adi katwa, na idin batuzughe mun nafo ubollu Kutellẹ ba, ina din batuzughe mu nafo ulẹ na min urẹ.
Now if a man earn his pay by his work, it is not counted to him as a favor, but it is paid him as a debt;
5 Nani tutun kitin nlẹ na adin suzu katwẹ ba, ame na yinna ni lẹ nadi nutuuzunu nchaut kiti na lẹ na iyiru Kutellẹ ba, uyinnu sa uyenu me ibata nafo feu Kutellẹ.
but a man who does not "work," but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, has his faith imputed to him for righteousness.
6 Dauda wa belli nmari di litin nit ulẹ na Kutellẹ din batuzu feu mẹ sa katwa.
Just as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from actions.
7 A belle “anan nmareri alẹ na alapi mins ina shawa mun, tutun alẹ na ina tursu nani alapi mine.
Blessed he says are they whose iniquities have been forgiven, And whose sins have been covered.
8 Unan nmareri unit urika na chikilari ma batuzu alapi me ba.”
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Nene mọ nmarẹ idin bellu minin kiti nannan bowarẹ sa vat nin nanna salin nbowe wang? Bari tiworo, “uyinnu sa uyenun Ibrahim iwa bataghe mun feu Kutellẹ.”
Is this blessing, then, for the circumcised alone? or for the uncircumcised also? Abraham’s faith, I say, was imputed to him for righteousness.
10 Iyizari iwa nin bata? Kube na Ibrahim wa dinin bowarẹ sa nin salin nbo? Na iwa bataghe mun nan nya nbowari ba, iwa bataghe nan nya salin nbo
How then was it imputed to him? When he was circumcised? or uncircumcised? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
11 Ibrahim wa seru alama nbowe usoghe utinchara feu Kutellẹ na awadimu adutu sa ubowe, bari anan so uchifin vat n lẹ na iyinna, ko idin nan nya ndirun bowari, inan bata nani feu Kutellẹ.
and he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the faith- righteousness which he had while he was in uncircumcision; in order that he might be the father of all who believe, even though they are uncircumcised; so that righteousness might be imputed to them.
12 tutun anan yita uchif nannan dak kitin nbowari machas ba, ndu vat kiti nalẹ na idin chin nabunun inyinnu uyenu inchifbite Ibrahim uyinnu sa uyenu me na awadimun nan nya ndirun nbo.
He is the father of circumcision to those who are not merely circumcised, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he held while he was as yet uncircumcised.
13 Bari na nan nya sharawari ubellu Kutellẹ wa kulo litin Ibrahime nin nisudume, au ima so anan minu iyii, nan nya nani fiu Kutellẹn iyinnu sa uyenu.
For the promise that he should be heir of the world did not come to Abraham or to his posterity through law, but through faith- righteousness.
14 Bari andi alẹ na inuzu, nshara din nan nya nannan serẹ, uyinnu sa uyenu nso hemmari une, tutun ubellu Kutellẹ nnana.
For if those who are righteous through law are heirs, faith is empty and the promise becomes void.
15 Bari usharawẹ din dasu nin tinanayi, vat nin nani, kitẹ na ushara dukuba, na udirun ndortun nshara duku wang ba.
For law works wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
16 Bari nani. libau inyinnu sa uyenuwari, inan so libau nbolu Kutellẹ, bara ubellu me nan yita vat nisudu. Tutun ilẹ isudẹ na imayitu chas kiti nalẹ na iyiru usharawaba, imayitu vat nin na lẹ na idin nuzun yinu sa uyennun Ibrahim
This is why righteousness is of faith, that it may be a free gift; so that the promise stands firm to all Abraham’s posterity; not to his children of his faith. For in the sight of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which is not, Abraham is the father of us all both Jews and Gentiles,
17 (urika na adi uchifbit vat, nafo na ina idi nya niyertẹ, “meng natifi uchif nisudu gbardang”). Amẹ Ibrahim wadi nbun lẹ na awayinin ninghe, Kutellẹri une, urika na adin nizu ulai nalẹ na ikuzu, akuru ayichila ilẹ imon na idiba imone yita.
as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations.
18 Vat nin yenju ndas, Ibrahim wayinin nin Kutellẹ iwo aba yitu uchif nisudu gbardang, nafo na iwa bellu “Alelẹ ma yitu isudu fẹ.”
For Abraham, hoping against hope, had faith to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So numberless shall your descendants be.
19 Na nan nya ndiru nagan inyinnu sa uyenuba, Ibrahim wa yau kidowo me kin kulari-awadi kupo nakus akut likuru, tutun kiti kumatin Saraya wadi kiku kubẹ.
Though he was about a hundred years old, his faith did not fail him when he regarded his own body, now as good as dead. and remembered Sarah’s barrenness.
20 Vat nin nani, bara ubellu Kutellẹ, Ibrahim wa daudau nan nya indirun yinnu sa uyenuba, awana kwii agaghari nan nya iyinnu sa uyenu, nin liru Kutellẹ.
Nor did he with regard to the promise of God waver in unbelief, but he waxed strong in faith, while he gave God glory,
21 Awaynin vat imon irika na Kutellẹ bellẹ, adinin nagan usuninin.
and was fully persuaded that what God had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 Bara nani iwakuru ibatizaghe mun nafo fiu Kutellẹ.
And so his faith was reckoned to him for righteousness.
23 Nene na iwa su iyertẹ nwọ ibatizaghe mugha usame nimon ichineba,
Now these words were not written simply for his sake, but for us as well.
24 Vat nin gherik wang, nya narika na ima batuzu, arikẹ na tiyina nin lẹ na a fiya Yisa chikilaribit nan nya kul.
For it will be "reckoned for righteousness." to us also, who believe on him that raised from the dead our Lord Jesus;
25 Yisa dana iwa nakpaghe bara alapi ikuru ifiyghe bari akusu ari.
who was betrayed to death for our transgressions, and raised again to life for our justification.
