Romans 4
1 What shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh?
Twibetakujobha kiki kabhele kujha Abrahamu, dadi jhitu kwa namna jha mb'el'e, abhonekene?
2 For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God.
Kwa ndabha ikajhelayi Abrahamu abhalangibhu haki kwa matendo, na aajhe ni sababu jha kwitufya, lakini sio palongolo pa K'yara.
3 For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse.
Kwani majhandiku ghijobhuli? “Abrahamu an'kyeriri K'yara na abhalangibhu kwa muene kujha haki.”
4 Nowe to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by fauour, but by dette:
Henu kwa munu jha ibhomba mbombo, mal'epu gha muene ghibhalangibhwa lepi kujha ni neema, bali kujha lideni.
5 But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse.
Lakini kwa munu jha ibhomba lepi mbombo jhojhioha bali akan'kiera muene ambajhe akambalangila haki jhaabeli kujha mtauwa, imani jha muene munu ojhu jhibalangibhu kujha haki.
6 Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying,
Daudi ni muene ijobha baraka panani pa munu ambajhe K'yara akambalangila haki bila matendo.
7 Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.
Ajobhili, “Bhabarikibhu bhala ambabho maovu gha bhene ghasamehibhu ni ambapo dhambi sya bhene sigupikibhu.
8 Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne.
Abarikibhu munu jhola ambajhe Bwana akambalangila lepi dhambi.”
9 Came this blessednesse then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? For we say, that faith was imputed vnto Abraham for righteousnesse.
Basi je baraka e'se ndo kwa bhala bhabhatahiribhu tu, au kabhele ni kwa bhala bhabhabelikutahiribhwa? Kwa ndabha twijobha, “kwa Abrahamu imani jha muene jhabhalangiki kujha jha haki.”
10 Howe was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or vncircumcised? not when he was cricumcised, but when he was vncircumcised.
Henu jhabhalangibhu bhuli? Wakati Abrahamu ajhele mu tohara, au bho akhona kutahiribhwa? Jhajhelepi mu kutahiribhwa, bali kubela kutahiribhwa.
11 After, he receiued the signe of circumcision, as the seale of the righteousnesse of ye faith which he had, when he was vncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that beleeue, not being circumcised, that righteousnesse might be imputed to them also,
Abrahamu apokili alama jha kutahiribhwa. Obho bhwajhele bhola muhuribhwa jhela haki jha amani jhaajhe nayu tayari kabla jha kutahiribhwa. Matokeo jha ishara ejhe ndo kwamba abhombiki kujha dadi ghwa bhoha bhabhikiera, hata kama bhajhele mu kutokutahiribhwa. Ejhe jhijhe ni maana kujha haki jhibetakubhalangibhwa kwa bhene.
12 And the father of circumcision, not vnto them onely which are of the circumcision, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had when he was vncircumcised.
Ejhe kabhele jha maamisi kujha Abrahamu abhombiki kujha dadi ghwa tohara sio tu kwa bhala bhabhitokana ni tohara, bali bhala bhabhakasikesya nyayu sya dadijhitu Abrahamu. Na ejhe ndo imani jhaajhe najhu kwa bhabeli kutahiribhwa.
13 For the promise that he should be the heire of the worlde, was not giuen to Abraham, or to his seede, through the Lawe, but through the righteousnesse of faith.
Kwa ndabha jha jhelepi kwa sheria kwamba ahadi jhahomesibhu kwa Abrahamu ni uzao bhwa muene, ahadi ejhe jha kujha bhibetakujha bharithi bha dunia. Isipokujha jhajhele kup'et'ela haki jha imani.
14 For if they which are of the Lawe, be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise is made of none effect.
Kwa maana kama bhala, bha sheria ndo bharithi, imani ijhele jha bhwaka, ni ahadi jhibatiliki.
15 For the Lawe causeth wrath: for where no Lawe is, there is no transgression.
Kwa ndabha sheria jhileta ghadhabu, lakini pala ambapo ijhelepi sheria, kabhele kujhelepi kutii.
16 Therefore it is by faith, that it might come by grace, and the promise might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely which is of the Lawe: but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of vs all,
Kwa ndabha ejhe e'le lihomela kwa imani, ili ijhelayi kwa neema. Matokeo ghake, ahadi ndo dhahiri kwa uzao bhuha. Ni bhazawa abha sio tu bhala bhabhajhimanyi sheria, bali kabhele bhala ambabho ndo bha imani jha Abrahamu. Kwa maana muene ndo dadijhitu tete twebhoka,
17 (As it is written, I haue made thee a father of many nations) euen before God whom he beleeued, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those thinges which be not, as though they were.
kama kyajhilembibhu, “Nikubhombili bhebhe kujha dadi ghwa mataifa ghamehele.” Abrahamu ajhele mu uwepo bhwa jhola jhaamwamini, yaani, K'yara ambajhe akabhapela bhanu uzima ni kughakuta mambo ambagho ghajhelepi ili ghabhwesiajhi kujha.
18 Which Abraham aboue hope, beleeued vnder hope, that he should be the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken to him, So shall thy seede be.
Licha jha hali syoha syakwibhala, Abrahamu kwa ujasiri an'kieriri K'yara kwa magono ghaghahideghe. Naha ajhele dadi ghwa mataifa ghamehele, kul'engana ni khela kyakyajobhibhu, “... Ndo kwawibetakujha uzao bhwa bhebhe.”
19 And he not weake in the faith, considered not his owne bodie, which was nowe dead, being almost an hundreth yeere olde, neither the deadnes of Saraes wombe.
Muene ajhelepi dhaifu mu imani. Abrahamu ajobhili kujhamb'el'e ghwa muene bhwamalili kujha bhufwili - ajhele ni umuli kulibila miaka mia moja. Kabhele ajhedekili ni hali jha kufwa jha lileme lya Sara.
20 Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe, but was strengthened in the faith, and gaue glorie to God,
Lakini kwa ndabha jha ahadi jha K'yara, Abrahamu abelilepi kubela kukiera, bali apelibhu nghofu mu imani ni kun'tufya K'yara.
21 Being fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to doe it.
Ajhele amanyili bhukweli kujha khela ambakyo K'yara aahidi, ajhele kabhele ni bhuwezo bhwa kukikamilisya.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse.
Henu ejhe kabhele jhabhalangibhu kwa muene kujha ndo haki.
23 Nowe it is not written for him onely, that it was imputed to him for righteousnesse,
Henu jhalembibhu lepi tu kwa faida jha muene, kujha jhabhalangibhu kwa muene.
24 But also for vs, to whom it shalbe imputed for righteousnesse, which beleeue in him that raised vp Iesus our Lord from the dead,
Jhalembibhu kwa ndabha jha tete kabhele, kwa bhabhekibhu kubhalangibhwa tete ambabho twikiera kwa muene jha amfufuili Bwana bhitu Yesu kuhoma kwa bhafu.
25 Who was deliuered to death for our sinnes, and is risen againe for our iustification.
Ojho ndo jhola ambajhe apisibhu kwandabha jha makosa ghitu ni kufufulibhwa ili tukabhayi kubhalangibhwa haki.
