Erromatarrei 4
1 Cer beraz erranen dugu gure aita Abrahamec eriden duela haraguiaren arauez?
What then shall we say—as touching Abraham our forefather?
2 Ecen baldin Abraham obréz iustificatu içan bada, badu cerçaz gloria dadin, baina ez Iaincoa baithan.
For, if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath whereof to boast; —nevertheless, not towards God, —
3 Baina cer dio Scripturác? Sinhetsi vkan du Abrahamec Iaincoa, eta imputatu içan çayó iustitiatara.
For what doth the Scripture say? And Abraham believed in God, and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.
4 Baina obratzen duenari alocairua etzayó gratiatan contatzen baina hartzetan:
Now, unto him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned by way of favour but by way of obligation,
5 Ordea obratzen eztuenari, baina gaichtoa iustificatzen duena baithan sinhesten duenari, bere fedea iustitiatan contatzen çayó.
Whereas, unto him that worketh not but believeth on him that declareth righteous the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.
6 Nola Dauidec-ere declaratzen baitu Iaincoac obrác gabe iustitiá imputatzen draucan guiçonaren dohain-ontassuna, dioela,
Just as David also affirmeth the happiness of the man unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works: —
7 Dohatsu dirade ceinén iniquitateac quittatu içan baitirade eta ceinén bekatuac estali içan baitirade.
Happy, they whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered,
8 Dohatsu da Iaunac bekatua imputatu eztrauqueon guiçona.
Happy, the man whose sin the Lord will in nowise reckon.
9 Bada dohain-ontassun haur, circoncisionean da solament ala bay preputioan-ere? Ecen erraiten dugu imputatu içan çayola Abrahami fedea iustitiatan.
This happiness, then, [is it] for the circumcision, or for the uncircumcision? for we say—His faith was reckoned unto Abraham as righteousness:
10 Nola bada imputatu içan çayo? circoncisionean cela, ala preputioan? ez circoncisionean, baina preputioan.
How, then, was it reckoned? When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
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, a sign, he received [namely] of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while yet uncircumcised; to the end he might be father of all that believe during uncircumcision, to the end [the same] righteousness might be reckoned unto them, —
12 Eta circonsionearen aita, erran nahi da, ez circoncisionecoén solament, baina gure aita Abrahamen fede preputioan çuenaren hatzari darreizconen-ere.
And father of circumcision—unto them who are not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, while yet uncircumcised, of our father Abraham.
13 Ecen promessa etzayó Legueaz heldu içan Abrahami, edo haren haciari, munduaren heredero içateco, baina fedeazco iustitiáz.
For, not through means of law, doth the promise belong unto Abraham or unto his seed, —that he should be heir of the world; but, through a righteousness by faith.
14 Ecen baldin Leguetic diradenac, heredero badirade ezdeus bilhatu da fedea, eta iraungui da promessa.
For, if they who are of law are heirs, made void is faith and of no effect is the promise.
15 Ceren Legueac hirá engendratzen baitu: ecen non ezpaita legueric, han ezta transgressioneric
For, the law, worketh out anger, but, 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,
For this cause, it is by faith, in order that it may be by way of favour, so that the promise is firm unto all the seed, —not unto that by the law only, but unto that also [which is such] by the faith of Abraham; who is 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.
Even as it is written—Father of many nations, have I appointed thee: before him whom he believed—God, who causeth the dead to live, and calleth the things that are not as things that are: —
18 Ceinec sperançaren contra sperançaz sinhets baitzeçan, anhitz nationeren aita içanen cela: erran içan çayonaren araura, Hala içanen duc hire hacia.
Who, past hope, upon hope believed, so that he became father of many nations, —according to what had been said—So shall be thy seed; —
19 Eta fedean flaccu ez içanez, etzeçan behá bere gorputz ia hilera, ehun vrtheren inguruä baçuen-ere: ezeta Sararen vmunci ia hilera.
And, without becoming weak in his faith, he attentively considered his own body, already deadened—he being a hundred years old, the deadening also of Sarah’s womb;
20 Eta Iaincoaren promessaren gainean etzeçan duda incredulitatez: baina fortifica cedin fedez Iaincoari gloria emanic:
In respect, however, of the promise of God, he was not led to hesitate by unbelief, but received power by his faith, giving glory unto God,
21 Eta frangoqui seguraturic, ecen hari promes eguin ceraucana, botheretsu cela eguiteco-ere.
And being fully persuaded (that), —what he hath promised, able is he also to perform:
22 Halacotz haur -ere iustitiatan imputatu içan çayo.
Wherefore [also], it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.
23 Eta ezta scribatu içan harengatic solament, ecen haur iustitiatan imputatu içan çayola:
Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was reckoned unto him,
24 Baina guregatic-ere, ceini imputaturen baitzaicu, Iesus gure Iauna hiletaric resuscitatu duena baithan sinhesten dugunoy,
But for our sakes also—unto whom it is to be reckoned, —even unto them that believe upon him who raised Jesus our Lord from among the dead:
25 Cein heriotara liuratu içan baita gure bekatuacgatic, eta resuscitatu gure iustificationeagatic.
Who was delivered up on account of our offences and was raised on account of the declaring us righteous.
