Romans 4
1 What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N+KO) of us according to [the] flesh?
Te koinih pumsa ah a pa Abraham loh a hmuh te metla n'thui uh eh?
2 If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward God.
Abraham he khoboe loh tang sak koinih thangpomnah a khueh, Tedae Pathen taengkah moenih,
3 What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Te dongah cacim loh balae a thui? Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
4 To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to debt;
A saii dongkah thapang te lungvatnah la n'nawt pawt vetih a laiba banghui ni te.
5 To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.
Saii pawt dae baltalh aka tang sak kung soah a tangnah vaengkah tangnah te duengnah la a nawt pah.
6 just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
David long pataeng khaw, “Khoboe kah voelah Pathen loh duengnah la a nawt pah hlang te tah yoethennah ni,” a ti.
7 Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;
Olaeknah loh a hlah tih a tholh a muekdah pah rhoek te tah a yoethen uh.
8 blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N+kO) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.
Boeipa loh tholh a nawt pah voel pawt hlang te tah a yoethen,
9 [Is] the blessing then this on the circumcision or also on the uncircumcision? We are saying for (that: *k) was credited to Abraham the faith as righteousness.
Tangkhuet la, “He yoethennah tah yahvinrhetnah soah pawt atah pumdul ham a?” n'ti uh vaengah Abraham kah a tangnah te ni duengnah la a nawt pah.
10 How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;
Te vaengah metlam a nawt pah? yahvinrhetnah a om vaengah a? Pumdul vaengah a? yahvinrhetnah vaengah pawt tih pumdul vaengah ni.
11 And [the] sign he received of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] [while] in the uncircumcision; for the to be him father of all those believing in uncircumcision, for to be credited also to them the righteousness,
Te dongah yahvinrhetnah he miknoek la a dang te pumdul vaengkah aka tangnah kah duengnah kutnoek ni. Anih te pumdul lamloh aka tangnah rhoek boeih kah a napa la om sak ham neh amih te khaw duengnah la nawt ham ni ana khueh.
12 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only but also to those walking in the steps during (the *k) uncircumcision (of the *k) faith of the father of us Abraham.
Te phoeiah, yahvinrhetnah kah pa he, yahvinrhetnah bueng kah pawt tih a pa Abraham pumdul vaeng kah tangnah kholaeh te aka vai rhoek ham khaw a om sak.
13 Not for through [the] Law [was] the promise to Abraham or to the descendants of him that heir he being (of the *k) world but through [the] righteousness of faith.
Abraham neh a tiingan te Diklai rhopangkung la om ham te olkhueng nen pawt tih tangnah kah duengnah nen ni olkhueh a paek.
14 If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;
Olkhueng rhang neh rhopangkung la om koinih, tangnah te tlongtlai tih olkhueh te a hmil coeng.
15 For law wrath brings; where (now *N+kO) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.
Olkhueng loh thintoek a thoeng sak dae olkhueng a om na pawt ah boekoeknah a om moenih,
16 Therefore it [is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for to be sure the promise to all the seed, not to that of the law only but also to that of [the] faith of Abraham, who is [the] father of all of us —
A lungvatnah vanbangla olkhueh kah tiingan boeih taengah a khangmai la om sak ham khaw tangnah nen ni a om tangloeng. Olkhueng kah tiingan taeng bueng ah pawt tih Abraham kah tangnah kah tiingan taengah khaw a om sak. Amah tah mamih boeih kah napa la om.
17 even as it has been written that A father of many nations I have made you, before whom he believed God, who is giving life to the dead and calling the [things] not [into] being as existing;
Namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la nang kan coelh tila a daek tangtae vanbangla anih loh a tangnah hlan ah aka duek rhoek te aka hing sak tih, aka om pawt te aka om bangla aka khue, Pathen te om lamhma coeng.
18 who against hope in hope believed for to become him [the] father of many nations according to that spoken; So will be the offspring of you;
Anih tah a ngaiuepnah voel ah a ngaiuep tih a tangnah dongah namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la om ni tila a thui vanbangla nang kah tiingan te om van ni.
19 And not having become weak in the faith (not *K) he considered his own body already expired, a hundred years old about being, and the lifelessness of the womb of Sarah,
Kum yacut pakhat lo tih aka duek tangtae amah pum neh Sarah kah bung duekrhok te a poek dae tangnah dongah a thathae pawh,
20 About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God
Tedae Pathen kah olkhueh soah hnalvalnah neh boelhkhoeh pawt tih tangnah neh a thaphoh,
21 and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;
Pathen te thangpomnah a paek vaengah olkhueh te aka rhoi thai khaw amah ni tila m'ming.
22 Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.
Te dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
23 Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,
Tedae anih taengah a nawt te amah bueng ham a daek pah moenih,
24 but also on account of us to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the [One] having raised Jesus the Lord of us out from [the] dead,
Tedae mamih ham khaw, duek lamkah aka thoo mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh aka tangnah rhoek ham khaw amah te a nawt coeng.
25 who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
Amah te mamih kah tholhdalhnah kongah a voeih tih mamih kah tiktamnah ham a thoh coeng.
