Romans 4
1 What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N+KO) of us according to [the] flesh?
Igala tujile bhuli ga ainabhetu a Bhulaimu?
2 If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward God.
Pabha monaga a Bhulaimu bhashinkupegwa aki kwa ligongo lya itendi yabho, bhai, bhakwete shindu sha kwiiniya, ikabheje nngabha kwa a Nnungu.
3 What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Pabha Majandiko ga Ukonjelo gakuti “A Bhulaimu bhashinkwaakulupalila a Nnungu, kwa nneyo a Nnungu gubhaapele aki.”
4 To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to debt;
Ikabheje ntumishi anapegwa nshaala, nshaala gula ukabha nema, ikabhe mbuti ligambo kwa liengo lyakamwile.
5 To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.
Ikabheje mundu akakwiikulupalila itendi yakwe nnyene, ikabhe anakwaakulupalila a Nnungu, bhakwaaleshelelanga bhalebhilenje, bhai a Nnungu bhanajali ngulupai jika jwene mundujo, nikumpa aki.
6 just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Malinga a Daudi shibhataya, mbaya jwene mundu apegwa aki kwa a Nnungu, gwangali kutolelela itendi yakwe.
7 Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;
“Mbaya bhaleshelelwenje yambi yabhonji Na bhaunishilwenje yambi yabhonji.
8 blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N+kO) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.
Mbaya jwene mundujo, Bhakulungwa bhakakwiitolelela yambi yakwe.”
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.
Bhai, bhuli yene mbayayo, ku bhajalukenjepe eu nkali bhangajalukanga? Pabha tukuti, a Bhulaimu bhashinkupegwa aki kwa ligongo lya ngulupai yabho.
10 How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;
Bhuli, a Bhulaimu pubhapegwilwe aki bhali bhajalwishe eu bhakanabhe jaluka? Nngabha bhali bhajalwishe, ikabhe bhakanabhe jaluka.
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,
A Bhulaimu pubhajalwishe kungai, na kwene jalukako, pukwaliji shilangulo na lulembo lwa kundwa kwabho na a Nnungu kuti, bhakwete aki kwa ligongo lya ngulupai jabho, jibhakwete bhakanabhe jaluka. Kwa nneyo, a Bhulaimu bhashibha ainamundu bha bhandu bhowe bhakwaakulupalilanga a Nnungu, nkali bhangajalukanga, gubhapegwilwenje aki.
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.
Nneyo peyo bhenebho ni ainamundu bha bhandunji bhajalukenje, ikabheje nngabha kwa jaluka, ila kwa ligongo lya kagula ngulupai ja ainabhetu a Bhulaimu, jibhaakwete bhakanabhe jaluka.
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.
Pabha a Nnungu bhashinkwaalajila a Bhulaimu na lubheleko lwabho kuti, shibhapegwanje shilambolyo. Bhashinkutenda nneyo nngabha kwa shalia ja a Musha, ikabhe kwa ligongo lya kulupalila kwabho, gubhapegwilwe aki.
14 If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;
Monaga bhapinga pegwanga ibhalugwile a Nnungu, ni bhaakamulilanga shalia ja a Musha bhala, bhai, ngulupai yetu yangali shindu na malagano ga a Nnungu nngabha shindu.
15 For law wrath brings; where (now *N+kO) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.
Pabha shalia ja a Musha jinapeleshela nnjimwa ja a Nnungu, ikabheje jikapagwe shalia, bhai kwakwa kulebha.
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 nneyo, malagano ga a Nnungu pugapatikana kwa ngulupai, shigaishe kwa nema ja a Nnungu, nkupinga gabhe ku bhandunji bhowe, nngabha ku bhaakulupalilanga shalia ja a Mushape, ikabhe ku bhakwetenje ngulupai malinga a Bhulaimu. Bhenebho ni atati bhetu, uwe tubhowe.
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;
Malinga shigalugula Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti, “Njikummika mme atati bha ilambo yaigwinji.” Gene malaganogo ni ga kweli, kwa a Nnungu bhakulupalilwe na a Bhulaimu, a Nnungu bhakwaayuyanga bhawilenje, na kwa lilobhe lyabho, indu ikapaliji inapagwa.
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;
A Bhulaimu bhatendaga lolela indu yangakulupalika, kwa nneyo nibha atati bha ilambo yaigwinji, malinga shigalugula Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti, “Lubheleko lwenu shilushulushe mbuti 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,
Pubhaliji bhakongopa bha yaka makumi kumi, ikabheje ngulupai jabho jangapuganyika, bhalinkumumanya kuti shiilu shabho shikongopele numbe shiiwilile na akongobhabho a Shala, lipitiu lyaho liiwilile.
20 About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God
Ikabheje a Bhulaimu bhakakweteje lipamba na malagano ga a Nnungu gala, ikabhe bhashinkukola mashili kwa ngulupai yabho, nikwaakuya a Nnungu.
21 and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;
Gubhamumanyi kuti a Nnungu bhanakombola tenda gene gubhalajiyego.
22 Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.
Kwa nneyo a Nnungu gubhaapele aki.
23 Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,
Malobhe gakuti, “Bhashipegwa aki” nngabha kwa ligongo lyabhope,
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,
ikabhe nkali kwetu uwe, tukwaakulupalila a Nnungu, bhaayushiye a Yeshu Bhakulungwa bhetu, bhakaweje.
25 who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
Bhabhulegwe kwa ligongo lya yambi yetu, gubhayushile nkupinga tupate aki.
