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

¹Ko lai sakām? Ko panāca mūsu miesīgais ciltstēvs Ābrahams?

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

²Jo, ja Ābrahams kļuvis taisnīgs ar saviem darbiem, tad viņam ir gods, bet ne pie Dieva.

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

³Jo ko saka Raksti? Ābrahams ticēja Dievam, un tas tika viņam pieskaitīts attaisnošanai.

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

⁴Bet tam, kas dara darbus, alga tiek piešķirta ne no žēlastības, bet pienākuma dēļ.

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

⁵Bet tam, kam darbu nav, bet tic uz To, kas bezdievīgo dara taisnīgu, viņa ticība tiek pieskaitīta attaisnošanai saskaņā ar Dieva žēlastības lēmumu.

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

⁶Tā arī Dāvids runā par cilvēka svētlaimību, kuram Dievs no savas labpatikas piešķir attaisnojumu neatkarīgi no darbiem.

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

⁷Svētīgi tie, kam noziegumi piedoti un grēki apklāti.

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

⁸Svētīgs tas vīrs, kuram Kungs grēku nepieskaita.

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

⁹Vai tad šī svētlaimība ir tikai apgraizītajiem, vai arī neapgraizītajiem? Ja sakām, ka Ābrahamam ticība pieskaitīta attaisnojumam,

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

¹⁰Tad kā tā pieskaitīta? Vai apgraizīšanā, vai tad, kad viņš nebija apgraizīts? - Ne apgraizīšanā, bet tad, kad viņš nebija apgraizīts.

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:

¹¹Bet apgraizīšanas zīmi viņš saņēma par apstiprinājumu attaisnojumam ticībā, kas viņam bija vēl neapgraizītam, lai viņš kļūtu visu neapgraizīto ticīgo tēvs, lai arī tiem tā tiktu pieskaitīta attaisnojumam,

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.

¹²Un lai viņš būtu tēvs apgraizītajiem, bet ne tikai apgraizītajiem, bet arī tiem, kas seko ticības pēdās, tās ticības, kura bija mūsu tēvam Ābrahamam pirms apgraizīšanas.

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.

¹³Jo nevis pateicoties likumam Ābrahamam un viņa pēcnācējiem dots solījums iemantot pasauli, bet pateicoties attaisnojumam ticībā.

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

¹⁴Jo ja tie ir mantinieki, pateicoties likumam, tad ticība būtu zaudējusi savu spēku, un solījums būtu atcelts.

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

¹⁵Jo likums rada dusmas. Kur nav likuma, tur nav pārkāpuma.

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,

¹⁶Tāpēc tas nāk no ticības, lai, pateicoties žēlastībai, apsolījums būtu nodrošināts visiem pēcnācējiem, nevien tam, kas pakļauts tikai likumam, bet arī tam, kas seko ticībai, kāda bija mūsu visu tēvam Ābrahamam

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.

¹⁷(Kā rakstīts: Es iecēlu tevi par tēvu daudzām tautām) tā Dieva priekšā, uz kuru viņš ticēja, kas mirušos atdzīvina un sauc vārdā tos, kas vēl nav, tāpat kā tos, kas ir. (1.Moz.17,5)

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.

¹⁸Pretī cerībai cerēdams, viņš ir ticējis, ka viņš kļūs daudzu tautu tēvs, tā kā sacīts: Tādi būs tavi pēcnācēji! (1 Moz 15,5)

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:

¹⁹Un viņš nekļuva vājš ticībā, vērodams savu pamirušo miesu, jo bija jau gandrīz simt gadu vecs, un Sāras pamirušo mātes klēpi.

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

²⁰Viņš neticībā nešaubījās par Dieva apsolījumu, bet, būdams stiprs ticībā, deva Dievam godu,

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

²¹Būdams pilnīgi pārliecināts, ka to, ko solījis, Viņš spēj arī izpildīt.

²²And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

²²Tāpēc tas viņam pieskaitīts attaisnošanai.

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

²³Bet nav jau rakstīts, ka viņa dēļ vien tas pieskaitīts viņam attaisnošanai.

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

²⁴Bet arī mūsu dēļ, kam tas tiks pieskaitīts mūsu ticības dēļ uz To, kas uzmodināja no miroņiem mūsu Kungu Jēzu Kristu,

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

²⁵Kas mūsu grēku dēļ bija nodots un mūsu attaisnošanas labad uzcēlās no miroņiem.
