Arumi 4
1 Tulowa longela namani kai panga Abraham, Tate bitu kwa ndela yenga, Apatikine?
What shall we then say that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 Kwa Mana manaitei Abraham abalangilwe haki kwa matendo apeba na sababu ya kulumba, ila sio nnonge ya Nnongo.
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory, but not before God.
3 Kwani maandiko gabaya buli?”Abraham amwamini Nnongo, na abalangilwe panga abi na haki”.
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
4 Tumbwe kwa mundu jwa pangage lyengo, libilwa kwake kwa ubaya lili kwa bule ila ni haki yake.
Now to him that worketh, is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 Ila kwa mundu jwange panga lyengo ila amwombilwa jwembe amalangwa haki jwa bile Lili mcha Nnongo, imani yake mundu jwo ibalangilwe panga ibi na haki.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Daudi na jwembe alongela kuhusu baraka kwa mundu ambae Nnongo amalanga haki bila matendo.
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man to whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Akojike, “Babalikilwe balo masambi gabe basamiilwe na bembe nembe ubaya wabe utiwikejelwa.
[Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Atibalikilwa mundu julo ambae Nnongo amalangwa lili na dhambi.
Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Buli baraka yii ibii'kwaajili ya bandu babainilwe bai, au na babakotwike inilwa? mana twenda longela, “Kwa Abraham aminia kwake yabalangilwe panga haki”.
[Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only], or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Ivi twabalangilwe kitiwi? Wakati Abraham ainilwe au bado inilwa? Yabilelii ainilwe, Ila abi bado inilwa.
How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Abraham apoki alama ya likombe. Agogo wabile muhuri yelo haki ya imani abile nayo tayari kabla ana inilwa-lii. Matokeo gake ga alama aye abalangilwe panga Tate ba bahamini, hata bange inilwa kwinama panga hakinga yabalangilwa.
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;
12 Ayiee inamana Abraham bampangite tate ba torati sio bainama babainilwe bai, ila hata balo babakotwike kwikote njayo lati bitu Abraham. Nayee nga imani yabile nayo kwa bange inilwa.
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.
13 Mana yabile-lii kwa seliya kwamba ahadi ipiyilwe kwa Abraham na kwa lukolo lwake, ahadi panga barithi lunia. Ilaa yapitya mu haki ya imani.
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.
14 Mana itei mana ya panga balo ba seliya ga'barithi, imani ibile ya bule, Na mwatu aidile ingalabwike.
For if they who are of the law [are] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of no effect.
15 Mana seliya ileta ukale, lakini palo panga seliya ntupu. napabile kotoka utii.
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
16 Kwasababu yeipitya kwa imani, linga ibe kwa neema. Matokeo gake, ahadi ibii dhaili kwa lukolo lwote, Na lukolo lokisabe ngabatangite seliya bai-lii, ila na balo ba imani ya Abraham. Mana jwembe Tate bitu twa boti.
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;
17 Kati mwaiandikilwe, “Nikupangite panga tate ba nnema goti”. Abraham abile nkati ya upeo wa julo jwa aminile, yani, Nnongo jwapeya maiti ukoto na kugayeya makowe gaga kotwike bali ngagaweze baa.
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who reviveth the dead, and calleth those things which are not, as though they were.
18 Licha ya ali yoti ya panjaa, Abraham kwojasili aliaminiya Nnongo kwa machoba gagaisa. Ndomana abile tati ba mataifa ganansima. bokana silo sakilongelikwe “Ngamwalowa baa lukolo lwako.
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.
19 Jwembe abile-lii mpungufu muimani. Abraham ayeketi panga kuwa jenga yake mwene iyomwile was abile na miaka karibu mia jimo. Kaibile na hali yowa ya ndumbo ya Sara.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb.
20 Lakini mwanja mwa mwaidi Nnongo, ........
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 Atangite yo panga che'lo cha mwaidi, Nnongo kaiabi na uwezo wo kamilisha.
And being fully persuaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 Naji nembe yabalalangilwe kasake panga haki.
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Naandikilwa soon kwa faida yake bai.
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 Yaandikilwe kwa faida jitu twenga. Kwabakilwe balangilwa, Twenga twatuaminiya nkati ya jwembe jwa mfufuwite Nngwana witu Yesu buka mukiwo.
But for us also, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 Ajo nga yolo jwapijilwe kwa mwanja ga makosa gitu na kunyonya lenga tupate balangilwa kwa haki.
Who was delivered for our offenses, and raised again for our justification.
