Bharumi 4
1 Echaikaki lindi ati Abrahamu, Lata weswe okulubhana no mubhili, abhonekene?
Then what shall we say that Abraham, our father according to the flesh, has found?
2 Kulwo kubha alabha Abrahamu abhaliywe obhulengelesi kwe bhikolwa, akabhee na insonga yo kwikuya, mbe nawe atali imbele ya Nyamuanga.
For if Abraham were justified by works, he has glorification; but not before God.
3 Kaoli amaandiko agaika ki? “Abrahamu amwikilisishe Nyamuanga, na nabhalilwa ku mwene kubha mulengelesi.”
For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.
4 Mbe woli kwo munu unu kakola emilimu, omuyelo gwaye gutakubhalwa ati ni chigongo, mbe nawe ati ni bhanja.
But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt;
5 Mbe nawe ku munu unu atakola milimu nawe namwikilisha mwenene unu kamubhalila obhulengelesi unu atali mwelu, elikilisha lyaye omumukingila nabhalilwa kubha mulengelesi.
but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.
6 Daudi one kaika amabhando ingulu yo munu unu Nyamuanga kamubhalila obhulengelesi bhunu bhutali mu bhikolwa.
Indeed David also speaks of the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works,
7 Aikile, “Bhana libhando bhaliya bhanu obhubhibhi bhwebhwe bhyeswaliliywe na bhanu ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe bhyabhisilwe.
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
8 Ana libhando omunu ulya unu Latabhugenyi atamubhalila chibhibhi.”
blessed is the man of whom the Lord may not impute sin.
9 Mbe angu amabhando ganu nikubhaliya bhanu bhatendelwe-la, amwi one na kubhaliya bhanu bhatatendelwe? Kulwo kubha echaika, “Ku Abrahamu okwikilisha kwaye kwabhaliywe kubha bhulengelesi.
Then does this blessedness come on the circumcision, or on the uncircumcision? for we say That faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Kwibhyo woli bhyabhaliywe atiki? kenu mumwanya Abrahamu aliga ali mu lutendo, amwi achali kutendwa? (Jaliga jitali mu kutendwa, nawe mubhutatendwa.)
Then how was it imputed? to him, being in circumcision or uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Abulaamu ayaywe echibhalikisho cho lutendo. Lunu lwaliga luli lwa bhusibhusi lwa bhulia obhulengelesi obho aliga nabho bhwangu achali okutendwa. okubhonekana echibhalikisho chinu ni ati akolekene okubha lata wa bhona abhekilisha, nolwo kutyo bhali mu lutendo. Inu uli na isonga ati obhulengelesi obhubhalwa kubhene.
And he received the sign of circumcision, and the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he should be the father of all who believed, through uncircumcision; and righteousness should be imputed to them;
12 Inu ona yelesishe ati Abulaamu akolekene lata wo lutendo atalila ati ku bhaliya abho abhabhonekana no lutendo, atali ona bhalia abho abhabhiilubha ebhigele bhya lata weswe Aburaamu. Na linu nilyo elikilisha linu aliga analyo kwa bho bhaliga bhatatendelwe.
and the father of circumcision to them 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.
13 Ku lwokubha yaliga itali kwe bhilagilo ati omulago gwasosibhwe ku Aburaamu no lwibhulo lwae, omulago gunu nati abhabha bhali bho bhwandu gwe Chalo. Atali yaliga ili kulwokulabha kwo bhulengesi bhwe likilisha.
For the promise to Abraham or his seed, that he should be the heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Ku lwokubha alabha bhalia abhebhilagilo nibho abhalya omwandu, elikilisha ni Lya kutyo-ela, no mulango ona ni gwa kutyo -ela.
For if the heirs were by the law, faith has been made void, and the promise vitiated.
15 Kunsonga ebhileta lisungu, nawe alia anu bhitali bhilagilo, ona( kutalio okusiga okubhayana.)
For the law works out wrath: for where there is no law, there is no transgression.
16 Ku songa inu linu elibhonekana kwe likilisha, koleleki ibhwe yechigongo. Okubhonekana kwebhyo, omulago guli abhwelu ku lwibhulo lwona. Na bhwebhulwa bhanu bhatali ati ni bhalia abho abhamenya ebhilagilo, nawe one ni bhalya abho ni bhelikisha lya Aburaamu. Ku lwokubha omwenene ni lata weswe eswe bhona,
Therefore it is by faith, in order that it may be by grace; that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not only of the law, but also of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 Lwakutyo jandikilwe,”Nakukola awe okubha lata wa Maanga mafu.”Aburaamu aliga amuliko unu amwikilisishe, niwe, Nyamuanga oyo kabhayana abhafue obhuanga no kugabhilikila amasango ago gatalio koleleki gatule okubhao
as it has been written, That I have constituted thee the father of many nations, before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls things which are not as really existing:
18 Okusigana Nejo jone ejaanja, Aburaamu kwo bhubhasi amwikilsishe Nyamuanga kusiku ejo jilija. kutyo nabha lata wa Maanga mafu, okulubhana na chiliya chaikilwe,”... Nikwo kutyo lulibha olwibhulo lwao.”
who against hope confided in hope, that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be:
19 Omwene alga atalegae mulikilisha. Aburaamu ekilisishe ati omubhili gwaye gulamalile okufwa- aliga nalebhelela okukingya Mwaka egana limwi. Ona ekilishanyishe nejo lufu lwa inda ya Sara.
and being not weak in faith, he considered not his body already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20 Mbe nawe kulwa insonga ye milago ja Nyamuanga, Abrahamu (atalindiliye) mu bhunyatekilisha. nawe, ayanilwe amanaga mu likilisha no kumukusha Nyamuanga.
but he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was filled up with dynamite through faith, having given glory to God;
21 Aliga namenya echimali ati chiliya chinu Nyamuanga alagile, one aliga ali no bhutulo bhwo kuchikumisha.
and being fully assured, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
22 Kulwejo jinu jone jabhalilwe mu mwene kubha jo bhulengelesi.
Therefore it was indeed imputed unto him for righteousness.
23 Mbe woli itandikilwela kwa mabhona gae, ati jabhaliywe ku mwene.
And it was not written on account of him alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 Jandikilwe ingulu yeswe one, bhanu bhaliga bhateyweo okubhalilwa, eswe bhanu echikilisha mu mwene unu amusuluye Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu okusoka mubhafuye.
but on account of us also, to whom it is about to be imputed, who believe on him who raised up our Lord Jesus from the dead;
25 Unu ni ulya unu asosibhwe ingulu ye bhikayo bhyeswe no kusululwa koleleki chibhone okubhalilwa obhulengelesi.
who was delivered on account of our transgressions, and raised for our justification.
