Romans 4
1 What shall we then say that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
Hottelah pawiteh maimae na pa Abraham teh takthai lahoi bang mouh ahawinae a coe vaw.
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath something to glory about; but not before God.
Abraham teh a tawksaknae hoi lannae koe phat pawiteh kâoupkhai kawi lah ao. Cathut hmalah teh hottelah nahoeh.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
Cakathoung dawk a dei navah Abraham teh Cathut a yuem dawkvah ahnie yuemnae teh lannae lah a khoe pouh.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Thaw tawknae lahoi kutphu hmu e teh lungmanae nahoeh, a hmu hanelah a kamcu dawk a hmu e doeh.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Thaw tawknae awmhoeh eiteh, tamikayonnaw hanlah na lan toe telah katetkung Bawipa hah, ka yuem e tami teh ahnie yuemnae hah lannae lah khoe pouh lah ao.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputeth righteousness apart from works,
Hot patetlah Cathut ni a thaw tawknae khen pouh laipalah a poe e lannae kacoekung e a yawhawinae hah Devit ni a dei navah,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
yon ngaithoum lah kaawm e, yonnae naw ramuk pouh lah kaawm naw teh a yawhawi awh.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Cathut ni yonpennae dawk hoi ka hlout e tami teh a yawhawi telah ati.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Vuensoma lah kaawm naw dueng maw hote yawhawi ka coe han vaw. Ka a hoeh naw hai a coe han maw. Abraham e yuemnae teh ahnie lannae lah a khoe pouh, ati.
10 How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Hot hah, bangpatinah maw a khoe pouh. Vuensoma nah maw. Hoehpawiteh, vuensoma hoehnahlan maw. Vuensoma hnukkhu laipalah, vuensoma hoehnahlan vah hottelah khoe e lah ao toe.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they are not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed to them also:
Hot patetvanlah, Abraham teh vuensoma hoehnahlan yuemnae dawk hoi tamikalan telah khoenae hah vuensomanae lahoi a kamnue sak. Het hateh Abraham hah, vuensoma laipalah ka yuem e tami pueng e na pa lah ao nahane hoi ahnimanaw hai lannae a coe awh nahane doeh.
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
Hahoi, Abraham teh kayuemnaw pueng e na pa lah ao hane hoi vuensoma dawk dueng laipalah, a hoehnahlan hoi kaawm e yuemnae dawk ka cet naw e na pa lahai ao nahane doeh.
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Hete talaivan heh râw lah na pang sak han telah Abraham koe poe e lawkkam teh, kâlawk khetsin lahoi poe e tho laipalah, yuemnae lahoi coe e lannae dawk hoi doeh poe e lah ao.
14 For if they who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of no effect:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kâlawk hoi kâkuen e naw ni râw coe awh pawiteh, yuemnae teh ayawmyin lah awm vaiteh, lawkkam hai karawk han doeh.
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Kâlawk ni teh lungkhueknae a tâcokhai. Hatei kâlawk awm hoeh pawiteh, payonnae hai awmhoeh.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Hatdawkvah lawkkam teh yuemnae hoi doeh a kâkuet. Hote lawkkam teh lungmanae lahoi a coung sak teh, kâlawk hoi kâkuen e miphunnaw hane dueng laipalah, Abraham e yuemnae hoi kâkuen e catoun lah kaawm e catounnaw pueng hanelah a caksak nahane doeh.
17 As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, ) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth those things which are not as though they were.
Kai ni nang teh moikapap e miphunnaw e na pa lah na coung sak toe telah Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah Abraham teh ama ni a yuem e Cathut, kadout e naw hah kahring sak niteh, kaawm hoeh e hnonaw hah ao thai nahanelah kâ ka poe thai e Cathut hmalah, maimouh pueng e na pa lah ao.
18 Who against hope believed with hope, that he should become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Ahni teh ngaihawi hanlah kaawm hoeh toung e hah a ngaihawi, a yuem teh, na catoun teh hettelah ao han telah lawkkam pouh e patetlah moikapap e miphunnaw e na pa lah ao.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
Ahni teh a kum cum touh bang a pha nah, amae a tak teh kadout e patetlah ao e hoi, Sarah e von a due toe tie hai a panue eiteh yuemnae dawk a thayounnae awmhoeh.
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Cathut e lawkkam dawk lunghringnae tawn laipalah yuemnae a len poung teh Cathut a pholen.
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Cathut teh lawkkam a poe e patetlah a sak thai tie hai khoeroe a yuem.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Hatdawkvah, yuemnae hah ahnie lannae lah khoe pouh e lah ao.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
Hatei, ahni hah khoe e lah ao telah Cakathoung dawk a thut e teh, Abraham buet touh hane dueng nahoeh. Maimouh hanelah hai thut e lah ao.
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Maimae Bawipa Jisuh hah duenae koehoi kathawsakkung hah ka yuem e maimouh hai na lan toe telah na khoe awh han.
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification.
Bawipa Jisuh teh maimae payonnae dawkvah, thei e lah ao teh maimouh lansaknae coe nahanelah a thaw toe.
