¹What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

¹Mis me siis ütleme oma lihase esiisa Aabrahami leidnud olevat?

²For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

²Sest kui Aabraham on mõistetud õigeks tegude tõttu, siis tal on, millega kiidelda, kuid mitte Jumala ees.

³For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

³Sest mida ütleb Pühakiri? 'Aabraham uskus Jumalat, ja see arvestati talle õiguseks.'

⁴Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

⁴Tegude tegijale ei arvestata palka mitte armust, vaid vastavalt võlale.

⁵But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

⁵Aga sellele, kes tegusid ei tee, vaid usub temasse, kes teeb õigeks jumalakartmatu, arvestatakse õiguseks tema usk,

⁶Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

⁶nõnda nagu Taavet ütleb õndsa olevat inimese, kellele Jumal arvestab õigust tegudest sõltumatult:

⁷Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

⁷'Õndsad on need, kelle ülekohus on andeks antud ja kelle patud on kinni kaetud.

⁸Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

⁸Õnnis on mees, kelle pattu Issand ei arvesta.'

⁹Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

⁹Kas see õndsusekuulutus käib nüüd ümberlõigatute või ka ümberlõikamatute kohta? Me ju ütleme: Aabrahamile arvestati usk õiguseks.

¹⁰How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

¹⁰Kuidas seda siis arvestati? Kas siis, kui ta oli ümberlõigatu või alles ümber lõikamata? Seda tehti, kui ta ei olnud ümber lõigatud, vaid ümber lõikamata.

¹¹And 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 be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

¹¹Ja ümberlõikamise tähise sai ta selle usu õiguse pitseriks, mis tal oli juba ümberlõikamata põlves, et ta oleks kõikide isa, kes usuvad ümberlõikamata põlves, et õigus arvestataks ka neile,

¹²And 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.

¹²ja et ta oleks ka nende ümberlõigatute isa, kes ei ole üksnes ümber lõigatud, vaid käivad ka meie isa Aabrahami usu jälgedes, mis tal oli ümberlõikamata põlves.

¹³For 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.

¹³Jah, seda tõotust, et ta saab maailma pärijaks, ei antud Aabrahamile ega tema soole Seaduse kaudu, vaid usuõiguse kaudu.

¹⁴For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

¹⁴Sest kui need, kes on Seadusest, oleksid pärijad, siis oleks usk muutunud tühjaks ja tõotus oleks tühistatud.

¹⁵Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

¹⁵Sest Seadus soetab viha, aga kus Seadust ei ole, seal ei ole ka üleastumist.

¹⁶Therefore 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,

¹⁶Seepärast siis on pärijaks saamine usust, et see oleks armust ja tõotus jääks kindlaks kogu soole, mitte ainult sellele, kes on Seadusest, vaid ka sellele, kes on Aabrahami usust, kes on meie kõikide isa -

¹⁷(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

¹⁷nõnda nagu on kirjutatud: 'Ma olen su pannud paljude rahvaste isaks!' - Jumala ees, keda ta on uskunud, kes teeb elavaks surnud ja kutsub olematuid nagu olevaid.

¹⁸Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

¹⁸Aabraham uskus, kui lootus näis lootusetu, et ta saab paljude rahvaste isaks, selle ütluse järgi: 'Nõnda peab olema sinu sugu.'

¹⁹And 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:

¹⁹Ta ei jäänud usus nõdraks, pannes tähele oma elatanud, ligi saja-aastast ihu ja Saara surnud lapsekoda.

²⁰He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

²⁰Ta ei kahelnud Jumala tõotuses uskmatuna, vaid sai vägevaks usus, ülistades Jumalat

²¹And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

²¹ja olles täiesti veendunud, et Jumal on vägev ka täitma seda, mida on tõotanud.

²²And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

²²Seepärast see arvestatigi talle õiguseks.

²³Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

²³Aga et see arvestati talle õiguseks, ei ole kirjutatud üksnes tema pärast,

²⁴But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

²⁴vaid ka meie pärast, kellele see samuti arvestatakse, sest me usume temasse, kes äratas surnuist üles meie Issanda Jeesuse,

²⁵Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

²⁵kes loovutati meie üleastumiste pärast ja äratati üles meie õigekssaamise pärast.
