Roma 4
1 Nene, Ibrahim uchifi bite nan nya kidowo tibaworu ana se iyang?
What then say we of Abraham, the chief of the fathers, that he found 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 by works was justified, he had cause for boasting; but not with Aloha.
3 Bari iyanghri uliru Kutellẹ na bellin? “Ibrahim na yinni ni liru Kutellẹ inalẹ wa batuzughne mu feu Kutellẹ.”
For what saith the scripture? That Abraham believed Aloha, and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.
4 Nene urika na adi katwa, na idin batuzughe mun nafo ubollu Kutellẹ ba, ina din batuzughe mu nafo ulẹ na min urẹ.
But to him who worketh, his wages are not reckoned to him as of favour, but as that which is owing to him:
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 to him who worketh not, but believeth only in him who justifieth sinners, his faith is reckoned to him for righteousness.
6 Dauda wa belli nmari di litin nit ulẹ na Kutellẹ din batuzu feu mẹ sa katwa.
As also David hath spoken concerning the blessedness of the man to whom Aloha reckoneth righteousness without works, saying,
7 A belle “anan nmareri alẹ na alapi mins ina shawa mun, tutun alẹ na ina tursu nani alapi mine.
Blessed are they whose iniquity is forgiven, And whose sins are covered.
8 Unan nmareri unit urika na chikilari ma batuzu alapi me ba.”
Blessed is the man to whom Aloha reckoneth not his 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 blessedness, then, upon the circumcision (only), or upon the uncircumcision (also)? Now we have said, that his faith was reckoned to Abraham 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
When, then, was it reckoned to him? In circumcision or in uncircumcision? It was 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.
For he received the sign of circumcision (as) a seal of the righteousness of his faith, which (was his) in uncircumcision, that he should be the father of all them who believe of the uncircumcision; that it might be accounted also to them for righteousness:
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.
and the father of the circumcision, not of them who are of the circumcision only, but of them who pursue the footsteps of the faith of uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
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 not through the law was the promise unto Abraham and to his seed that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Bari andi alẹ na inuzu, nshara din nan nya nannan serẹ, uyinnu sa uyenu nso hemmari une, tutun ubellu Kutellẹ nnana.
For if they who are of the law were heirs, faith would be vain, and the promise be abolished.
15 Bari usharawẹ din dasu nin tinanayi, vat nin nani, kitẹ na ushara dukuba, na udirun ndortun nshara duku wang ba.
For the law is the worker of wrath. For where there is no law, there also is no transgression of the law.
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
Therefore it is by faith, which is through grace, that we are justified, that the promise might be firm unto all his seed; not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all:
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 ordained thee the father of many nations before Aloha, in whom thou hast believed, who maketh alive the dead, and calleth those who are not as though they were: )
18 Vat nin yenju ndas, Ibrahim wayinin nin Kutellẹ iwo aba yitu uchif nisudu gbardang, nafo na iwa bellu “Alelẹ ma yitu isudu fẹ.”
and who, without hope, unto hope believed that he should be the father of many nations, as it is written, that " so shall be thy seed."
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.
Nor was he weak in his faith, while considering his body dead, (for he was the son of an hundred years, ) and the dead womb of Sara;
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.
and at the promise of Aloha he wavered not as deficient in faith, but was strong in faith, and gave glory to Aloha;
21 Awaynin vat imon irika na Kutellẹ bellẹ, adinin nagan usuninin.
and was sure that what he had promised to him Aloha could fulfil.
22 Bara nani iwakuru ibatizaghe mun nafo fiu Kutellẹ.
Wherefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
23 Nene na iwa su iyertẹ nwọ ibatizaghe mugha usame nimon ichineba,
And not for his sake only was this written, that his faith was reckoned for righteousness,
24 Vat nin gherik wang, nya narika na ima batuzu, arikẹ na tiyina nin lẹ na a fiya Yisa chikilaribit nan nya kul.
but for our sake, because it should be reckoned to us also who believe in Him who hath raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead;
25 Yisa dana iwa nakpaghe bara alapi ikuru ifiyghe bari akusu ari.
who was delivered for our sins, and rose that he might justify us.
