Romans 4
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
Taiganga hwele nantele huje o Ibulahimu, yise wetu hwidala elye bele, apatihene?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
Nantele nkashele u Ibulahimu abhaziwa elyoli hu mbombo, hangali nenangwa ezyahwisovye, nantele saga hwitagalila lya Ngolobhe.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Eshi ensimbo zigawele? “Abulahamu amwetesheye Ongolobhe, na bhaziwe hwakwe huje alinelyoli.”
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
Eshi hwa mtu yawombe embombo eposhenzi zyakwe sezibhaziwa huje hee wenee, hwa huje eshi lideni.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
Nantele hwa mtu yasaga abhomba embombo nkashele ahumweteha omwene yali ahubhazizya elyoli yasagali bhatamu, enyinza zyakwe umtu oyo zibhaziwe huje lyoli.
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
O Daudi wope ayanga esalifyo hwa mtu yali Ongolobhe abhazizizye elyoli pasepali nembombo.
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Ayajile, “Bhasalifiwe bhala bhabhali embibhi zyabho zisajilwe nabhala abhezambe zyabho zyazikwishilwe.
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
Asalifiwe omtu ola nkashele Ogosi sabhazizizye ezambe.”
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.
Eshi huje ensalifyo zyabhala bhabhatahiliwe bhene, huje nabha sebhatahiliwe? Eshi tiyanga, “huje o Ibulahimu enyinza zyakwe zyabhaziwe huje lyoli.”
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Huje yabhaweweleshi? Shila o Ibulahimu ali hu tohala, nantele sasele atahilwe? Sagayali hu tahilwe, eshi ashele tahilwe.
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.
O Ibulahimu ahambilile ehalama yatahilwe. Ogu gwali muhuli gwela ehaki enyinza yalinayo hani sasele atahilwe. Efumizyo ezyandolesyo ene huja abhombeshe abhe baba wa bhoti bhabhahweteha. Atankashile bhahweli bhabhali atahilwe. Eshi hwahuje ehaki yaibhaziwa hwabhene.
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.
Ene yope yamisizye aje o Ibulahimu abhombeshe baba we tohala saga hwabhala bhabhafumila mutohala aje nabhala bhabhazilondola enyayo zya baba wetu o Ibulahimu. Huje ene nyinza yalinayo hwabhatahilwe.
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.
Hwa huje sanayahali hudajizyo aje eahadi ehafumiziwe hwa Ibulahimu ne papo yakwe, eahadi ene eyaje bhaibhabhagali bhesi huje ehaliashelenle ehaki eyenyinza.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
Huje eshi nashi bhala bhe ndajizyo huje bhagali, enyinzizili nahamo, ne ahadi egalu zenywe.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
Huje eshi edajizyo zileta ilyoyo, huje pala pasepali nedajizyo, nahumo huje huli eshishi.
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.
Hwa huje eli sagalyafumie hunyinza, aje ebheye wene. Amafumilo gakwe, eahadi elipazelu hu mpapo yoti. Na zawa ebha sagaje bhala bhabhamenye edajizyo, huje bhala bhali nenza ezya Ibulahimu. Huje omwene isewetu ate tenti,
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.
nashi sesibwilweli, “Ebheshele awe abhe baba wensi enyiji.” O Ibulahimu ali hweli hwola ya menye yaani Ongolobhe yasaga abhapiye abhafwe owomi na kwizye enongwa zyanazimo ajezibhe.
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.”
Hata zibhe zyoti zya hwoze, Abulahamu abhejivi amawaminiye Ongolobhe hu siku zyazihwenza. Eshi abha baba wesi enyinji alengane nahala hahagajilwe,”... Esho shayaibha empapo yaho.”
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.
Omwene sagali bhinu hunyinza. Abulahamu aheteshe aje obele gwakwe yoyoo gumalishe afwe - ali no umuli wesiku amaha emia emo. Nantele ahetehene nehali eyafwe eyevyanda uya Sala.
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
Eshi alengane ne ahadi eya Ngolobhe, o Ibulahimu sagasitile ahumweteshe. Nantele, apewilwe eguvu hunyinza nantele asombele Ongolobhe.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
Ali amenye loli aje hala hahali Ongolobhe haaidiye ali nouwezo owa hakamilisye.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
Hweli lyope lyabhaziwe humwene abha haki.
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
Eshi sagayasimbwilwe wene hufaida yakwe, aje yabhaziwe hwa mwene.
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Yasimbwilwe huliti nantele, hwa bhabhishewe abhaziwe atetatili tihweteha aje omwene azyozyeze Ogosi wetu oYesu afume hwa bhafwe.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Ono yayola yalifumiziwe hu mbibhi zetu nazyosewe aje tipate abhaziwe ehaki.
