Romans 4
1 What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N(K)O*) of us according to [the] flesh?
Ana tujileje uli yankati atati ŵetu ŵa chiundu che Iblahimu? Ŵachimanyilile chindu chi?
2 If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward (*k*) God.
Iŵaga che Iblahimu jwaŵalanjikwe kuŵa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya ipanganyo yao, akwete chakulifunila, nambo ngaŵa paujo pa Akunnungu.
3 What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Che Iblahimu ŵaakulupilile Akunnungu, ni kwa ligongo lya chikulupi chao jwaŵalanjikwe kuŵa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu.”
4 To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to (*k*) debt;
Jwakupanganya masengo, mbote jakwe ngajikuŵalanjilwa nti ntulilo, nambo gali malipilo gakwe gakuŵajilwa.
5 To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.
Nambo mundu jwangakuikulupilila ipanganyo yakwe nsyene, nambo akwakulupilila Akunnungu ŵakwatenda ŵandu ŵaali ni sambi kuŵa ŵandu ŵangali ni sambi. Nipele Akunnungu akuchiŵalanjila chikulupi cha mundu jo ni kuntenda mundu jo kuŵa jwambone paujo pao.
6 just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Ni che Daudi ŵatite iyiyi paŵatite mmbaya kwa mundu jwakuŵalanjikwa jwambone ni Akunnungu paujo pakwe pangailolechesya ipanganyo yakwe.
7 Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;
“Mmbaya kwa ŵandu ŵalecheleswe ileŵo yao, ni sambi syao syepukute.
8 blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N(k)O*) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.
Mmbaya kwa mundu jwati Ambuje ngaakukumbuchila sambi syakwe.”
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.
Ana mmbaya ji jili kwa ŵaumbale pe, pane ni ŵangaumbala nombe nawo? Ni kwa ŵangaumbala nombe nawo. Pakuŵa tusasile kuti, “Che Iblahimu ŵakulupilile nombe Akunnungu ŵammalanjle kuŵa jwambone paujo pao.”
10 How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;
Ana che Iblahimu ŵaŵalanjikwe jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu katema chi? Akanaŵe kuumbala pane ali aumbele? Ŵaŵalanjikwe jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu akanaŵe kuumbala ni ngaŵa ali aumbele.
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,
Che Iblahimu ŵaumbele kanyuma, ni kuumbala ko kwaliji chimanyisyo chichalosisye kuti Akunnungu ŵammalanjile kuŵa jwambone paujo pao kwa ligongo lya chikulupi chiŵakwete akanaumbale. Kwapele che Iblahimu aŵele atati ŵa ŵandu wose ŵakwakulupilila Akunnungu namuno nganaumbala kuti Akunnungu ŵaŵalanjile kuŵa ŵambone paujo pao.
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.
Iyoyo peyo che Iblahimu ali atati ŵa ŵaumbale, nambo ngaŵa pakuŵa aumbele pe, nambo akukuya litala lilalila lya chikulupi cha atati ŵetu che Iblahimu chiŵakwete akanaŵe kuumbala.
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.
Akunnungu ŵapele chilanga che Iblahimu ni uŵelesi ŵakwe kuti chachapa chilambo chose. Chachapa chilambo cho ngaŵa kuti che Iblahimu ŵagajitichisye Malajisyo nambo ligongo ŵaakulupilile Akunnungu ni Akunnungu ŵammalanjile kuŵa jwambone paujo pao.
14 If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;
Pakuŵa iŵaga ŵakugapilikanichisya Malajisyo ni ŵachapochele chilanga cha Akunnungu, kwayele chikulupi changalimate, iyoyo peyo chilanga cha Akunnungu changali chindu.
15 For law wrath brings; where (now *N(k)O*) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.
Pakuŵa Malajisyo ni gakwikanago lutumbilo lwa Akunnungu, nambo ngakagapagwe Malajisyo, ngakukapagwe kuleŵa.
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 —
Kwa ligongo lyo chilanga chikukuyana ni chikulupi, kuti chilanga cho chili ntuuka wa Akunnungu ni kuti chili chimanyisyo chachikulosya kuti isyene chilanga chili kwa uŵelesi wose u che Iblahimu, ngaŵa kwa aŵala pe ŵakugapilikanichisya Malajisyo nambo kwa aŵala ŵakwete chikulupi mpela che Iblahimu, jwali atati ŵetu uweji wose.
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;
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Nammisile mme atati jwa ŵandu ŵa ilambo yejinji.” Chilanga cho chili chisyene paujo pa Akunnungu juŵakulupililwe ni che Iblahimu. Akunnungu ŵakwasyusya ŵawe, ni kwa malajisyo gakwe indu yanganiipagwe ikupagwa.
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;
Nachiŵamuno nganichipagwa chindu chichantesile che Iblahimu akulupilile chilanga. Che Iblahimu ŵaakulupilile Akunnungu ni kuchilolela chilanga ni ŵatendekwe “Atati jwa ŵandu ŵa ilambo yejinji.” Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Uŵelesi ŵenu chiuŵe wejinji nti ndondwa.”
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,
Che Iblahimu ŵaŵandichile yaka mia moja, nambo chikulupi chao nganichiweseka, namuno ŵaimanyilile kuti ngakukombola kuŵeleka, pakuŵa chiilu chao chaliji nti mundu jwammwe, ni che Sala ŵankwakwe nganakombola kuŵeleka.
20 About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God
Che Iblahimu nganaleka kukulupilila pane kuchikolela lipamba chilanga chapegwilwe ni Akunnungu, nambo ŵapatile machili kwa chikulupi chakwe, kwa yele ŵaakusisye Akunnungu.
21 and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;
Ŵaimanyi kwa usyene kuti Akunnungu akukombola kuitendekanya aila yalanjile.
22 Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.
Kwa ligongo lya chikulupi chao, Akunnungu ŵammalanjile che Iblahimu kuŵa jwambone paujo pao.
23 Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,
Ni maloŵe ga, “Akunnungu ŵammalanjile che Iblahimu kuŵa jwambone paujo pao,” nganigalembekwa kwa ligongo lyakwe nsyene pe,
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,
nambo galembekwe ni kwa ligongo lya uweji utuŵalanjikwe kuŵa ŵambone paujo pao, uŵeji ŵatukwakulupilila Akunnungu ŵaŵasyusisye Che Yesu Ambuje ŵetu.
25 who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
Che Yesu ŵatyosyekwe kuwa kwa ligongo lya sambi syetu ni ŵasyuchile kuti tuŵalanjikwe kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
