< Romans 4 >

1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
Dadꞌi mete conto mia hita atahori Yahudi ra, baꞌi Abraham na. Hita bisa tanori saa mia e, soꞌal atahori maloleꞌ ro Lamatualain, huu ramahere neu Kristus?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
Hita bisa tanori taꞌo ia: mete ma Abraham bisa maloleꞌ no Lamatualain huu ana tao dala maloleꞌ, na ana naꞌena netehuuꞌ de mbarani olaꞌ naeꞌ sia atahori mata nara. Te sia Lamatualain matan, ana nda mbarani olaꞌ saa sa boe.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Te nenesuraꞌ sia Lamatualain Susura Meumaren oi, “Huu Abraham namahere neu Lamatualain, naa de Lamatualain cap e, atahori rala ndoos mana maloleꞌ no Eni.”
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
Na, atahori mana tao ues, simbo nggadꞌin. Nggadꞌin naa nda doiꞌ parsen sa, te doiꞌ fo malangga bae fo nggati atahori naa bebꞌenggen. Huu atahori mana tao ues naa hak na naa.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
Te nda hambu atahori bisa tao rala dalaꞌ esa, fo ana malolole no Lamatualain. Huu atahori musi ramahere neu Yesus Kristus, naa fo Lamatualain cap se onaꞌ atahori rala ndoos, ma simbo e. Huu Lamatualain mana naꞌena hak fo nae, atahori mana namahere neu Yesus Kristus bisa malole baliꞌ no E, mae dalahulun atahori naa tao salaꞌ ma nda tao afiꞌ mbali Lamatuaꞌ sa.
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
Mane Daud o nafadꞌeꞌ nae, atahori ralan maꞌahe leleꞌ Lamatualain cap se nae, sira atahori rala ndoos, mae ara nda tao tungga hohoro-lalaneꞌ no matetuꞌ sa. Huu Daud suraꞌ, nae:
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
“Mae atahori ia ra ralena-langga Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen, te Ana tefa-soi hendi sala nara ena. Naa de ara onton seli! Atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ ra, Lamatualain liliiꞌ hendi sala nara ena.
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
Te mete ma Lamatualain nda ito-reken atahori sala nara sa, na, atahori naa onton tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ!”
9 Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
Naa, mbei ma hei duꞌa mae, akaꞌ atahori Yahudi mana sunat ra, mana onton fo maloleꞌ ro Lamatualain, do? Ma atahori nusa feaꞌ nda mana sunat ra sa, nda bisa sa, do? Hokoꞌ! Dudꞌuꞌat naa, sala! Naa de hai fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu nggi mae, huu Abraham namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ, naa de Lamatuaꞌ cap e, atahori rala ndos mana maloleꞌ no E.
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Eni bes Lamatuaꞌ cap Abraham taꞌo naa? Leleꞌ ana sunat ena, do nda feꞌe sunat sa? Matetun, nda leleꞌ ana sunat basa sa, te leleꞌ ana nda feꞌe sunat sa.
11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
Tebꞌe! Leleꞌ Abraham nda feꞌe sunat sa, te Lamatualain cap e, nae atahori rala ndoos mana maloleꞌ no Lamatuaꞌ. Dꞌoo-dꞌoo, dei de ana sunat fo dadꞌi bukti oi, eni dadꞌi atahori mamahereꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ. No taꞌo naa, Abraham mana soi dalaꞌ fee neu basa atahori mana ramahere Lamatualain. Huu Lamatuaꞌ simbo basa atahori mana ramahere neu E, fo ara maloleꞌ ro Lamatua, mae ara mana nenesunat, do hokoꞌ.
12 He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
Abraham o soi dalaꞌ fee hita atahori Yahudi mana sunat ra boe. Nda huu hita sunat sa, te huu hita tamahere Kristus, onaꞌ Abraham namahere Lamatuaꞌ leleꞌ ana nda feꞌe sunat sa.
13 For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Lamatualain hengge-nee hehelu-fufulin no Abraham ma tititi-nonosi nara nae, dꞌoo-dꞌoo te raefafoꞌ dadꞌi sira hata-heto nara. Lamatuaꞌ helu-fuli taꞌo naa, huu Abraham namahere E, de Lamatuaꞌ cap e nae, atahori rala ndoos ma mana maloleꞌ no Eni. Te Lamatuaꞌ nda helu-fuli taꞌo naa sa, huu Abraham tao tungga Eni Hohoro-lalanen.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
Huu mete ma atahori mana tao tunggaꞌ a Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen bisa simbo nala hata-hetoꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ helu-fuliꞌ naa, naa sosoan nae, parsumaꞌ a nemehere neu Lamatuaꞌ. Ma Lamatuaꞌ a hehelu-fufulin naa o nda naꞌena ngguna sa boe.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
Sia bee hambu Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen, na, sia naa o atahori ralena-langga Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra boe. Ma mete ma atahori ralena-langga Hohoro-lalanen, na, Lamatuaꞌ namanasa, de huku-dꞌoki se. Onaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen nese, na, neꞌo nda hambu atahori ralena-langga Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa sa. Te memaꞌ hohoro-lalane naa sia.
16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, 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.
Naa de hita musi tamahere E. Naa, nenendin seli lenaꞌ basaꞌ e. Te Lamatuaꞌ hiiꞌ a natudꞌu rala malolen neu atahori mana ramahere neu E. De mete ma tamahere neu E onaꞌ Abraham, neꞌo hita tae simbo saa fo Ana helu-fuliꞌ a, mae hita atahori Yahudi mana tao tungga Hohoro-lalanen, do hokoꞌ. Dadꞌi basa hita mana tamahereꞌ ra, onaꞌ Abraham tititi-nonosin.
17 As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
Sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren, Ana helu-fuli neu Abraham ena nae, “‘Au tao fo dadꞌi muu nusaꞌ hetar bei-baꞌi nara.” Abraham namahere neu Lamatualain. De dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma Lamatualain tao natetu hehelu-fufulin. Ana o mana tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates ra. Ana olaꞌ a, na saa nese o, dadꞌi neuꞌ ena.
18 Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
Abraham namahere Lamatuaꞌ, ma nahani E, mae ana nda feꞌe ma anaꞌ sa. Naeni de Lamatuaꞌ tao e dadꞌi “Nusaꞌ hetar bei-baꞌi nara.” Naa onaꞌ mana nenesuraꞌ sia Susura Meumareꞌ a nae, “Tititi-nonosiꞌ hetar dei fo laoꞌ mia nggo.”
19 Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
Abraham namahere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ, mae ana bubꞌuluꞌ eni lasi kakaluꞌ ena, too natun esa ena. Ma Sara mamana anan naꞌateꞌeme, ma ana nggonggoo ena.
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
Te Abraham nemeheren nda nanggongga sa, do dꞌua nae Lamatuaꞌ nda bisa tao natetu hehelu-fufulin sa. Nemeheren neu Lamatuaꞌ bau manggate leleꞌ ana soꞌu nananaru Lamatuaꞌ naran.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
Abraham namahere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ nae, saa fo Lamatua helu-fuli, Ana bisa tao natetu e.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
Naa de Lamatualain cap Abraham, atahori rala ndoos mana maloleꞌ no E.
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
Te Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren nae, Lamatuaꞌ nda ito-reken taꞌo naa fee neuꞌ a Abraham sa,
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
te fee neu nggita boe! Huu mete ma tamahere neu E, Ana o cap nggita atahori rala ndoos mana maloleꞌ to E. Lamatuaꞌ naa, mana tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ hita Lamatuan Yesus mia mamaten.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Yesus mate, huu sala singgo tara. Basa boe ma, Ana nasodꞌa baliꞌ fo soi dalaꞌ, naa fo ata bisa maloleꞌ baliꞌ to Lamatualain.
