Romans 4
1 What shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh?
Hinu tijova wuli, ndava ya Ibulahimu gogo witu? Ajiwulili kyani?
2 For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God.
Muni ngati Ibulahimu avalangiwi ubwina palongolo ya Chapanga kwa gala geakitili, ngaavili na chindu cha kumekela, nambu lepi palongolo ya Chapanga.
3 For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse.
Ndava muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Ibulahimu amusadiki Chapanga, ndi mwene Chapanga amuyidikili kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki.”
4 Nowe to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by fauour, but by dette:
Muhenga lihengu ilipwa luhuna, luhuna lwaki lepi njombi nambu ndi chindu cheiganikiwa kupewa.
5 But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse.
Nambu mundu mwangahuvalila matendu gaki mwene, nambu akumsadika Chapanga mweakuvakita vabudanu kuvya vangabuda, hinu Chapanga akuyidakila sadika ya mundu mwenuyo, akumyidakila kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki.
6 Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying,
Na mwene Daudi ajovili chindu chichichi, luheku lwa mundu yula Chapanga mweakumyidakila kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki changalola matendu gaki.
7 Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.
“Vamotisiwi vala vevalekekiswi uhakau wavi, kumbudila kwavi Chapanga kuwusiwi.
8 Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne.
Amotisiwi mundu yula, ndi BAMBU ivalanga lepi kubuda kwaki.”
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.
Wu, kumotisiwa kwenuko yeajovili Daudi ndi vandu vevadumwili jandu vene? Lepi mewawa vandu vangadumula jandu. Ngati chenalongolili kujova, “Ibulahimu amsadiki Chapanga na kwa sadika yaki Chapanga amvalangili kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki.”
10 Howe was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or vncircumcised? not when he was cricumcised, but when he was vncircumcised.
Wu, Ibulahimu ayidakiwi kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga peavi akona kudumula jandu amala peamali kudumula jandu? Kwakona kudumuliwa jandu, na lepi peamalili kudumuliwa jandu.
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,
Ibulahimu adumwili jandu mwanakandahi, na kudumula jandu kwaki kwavili ulangisu kuvya Chapanga amyidikili kuvya mbwina ndava ya kusadika kwaki kwakona kudumula jandu. Hinu, Ibulahimu avi Dadi wa vandu voha vevakumsadika Chapanga, hati ngati vangadumula jandu, muni Chapanga avavalangila ubwina palongolo yaki.
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.
Mewawa Ibulahimu ndi Dadi wa vala vevadumwili jandu, nambu lepi ndava ya kudumula jandu ndu, ndi ndava vilanda njila yilayila ya sadika yeavi nayu Dadi witu Ibulahimu kwakona angadumula jandu.
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.
Ndava muni chealagini Chapanga kuvya yati ukuuhala mulima yabweli lepi kwa Ibulahimu amala mu chiveleku chaki kwa kuyidakila Malagizu nambu mu njila ya kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga yeyibwela kwa sadika.
14 For if they which are of the Lawe, be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise is made of none effect.
Ngati chealagazili Chapanga chipokelewa na vandu veviyidakila Malagizu ndu, hinu sadika chindu lepi.
15 For the Lawe causeth wrath: for where no Lawe is, there is no transgression.
Malagizu gileta ligoga la Chapanga, malagizu ngati kawaka, ngakuvi lepi kudenya Malagizu.
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,
Ndava yeniyo, chila chealagini Chapanga chibwela kwa sadika, genago geajovili gihuma mu ubwina waki, na ndi ulangisu wa kulangisa kuvya ndi chakaka kulagana kwenuko ndava ya viveleku vyaki, lepi ndava ya vala vevikamula Malagizu ndu, ndi mewawa kwa vevisadika ngati cheakitili Ibulahimu, mweavili Dadi witu tavoha.
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.
Ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Nikuhagwili uvyai Dadi wa makabila gamahele.” Mwene ndi Dadi witu palongolo ya Chapanga mweamsadiki. Chapanga mweakuvapela vevafwili wumi, na kwa amuli yaki, vindu vyangavya vivya.
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.
Hati payavili kawaka chindu chechamkitili Ibulahimu ahuvalila chila chealagini Chapanga, Ibulahimu amusadiki Chapanga na kulihuvalila lilaganu, ndi akavya dadi wa makabila goha. Ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Chiveleku chaku yati chivya chamahele ngati ndondo.”
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.
Ibulahimu avili mgogolo neju, miyaka yahegalili miya yimonga nambu mwene asadiki neju, hati ngati amanyili ihotola lepi kupata mwana ndava higa yaki yavili ngati yifwili, na mdala waki Sala avili ngaveleka,
20 Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe, but was strengthened in the faith, and gaue glorie to God,
Ibulahimu alekili lepi kulisadika lilaganu la Chapanga na alyungi lyungili lepi apatili makakala ndava ya sadika yaki, akamulumba Chapanga.
21 Being fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to doe it.
Chakaka amanyili ngati Chapanga ihotola kugakita gala gealagini nayu.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse.
Ndava ya sadika yaki, “Chapanga amvalangili Ibulahimu kuvya mundu mbwina palongolo yaki.”
23 Nowe it is not written for him onely, that it was imputed to him for righteousnesse,
Malovi aga, “Avalangiwi ubwina palongolo ya Chapanga,” Gayandikwi lepi ndava ya Ibulahimu mwene,
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,
genaga tayandikiwi tete vetivalangiwi vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga, tete vetikumsadika amuyukisi Yesu, BAMBU witu, kuhuma kwevafwili.
25 Who was deliuered to death for our sinnes, and is risen againe for our iustification.
Mwene awusiwi akomiwa ndava ya kubuda kwitu, kangi ayukili muni tivalangiwa kuvya tavabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
