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

¹Jadi', wae lau ta'ala' tapotonco-imi Abraham, ntu'a-ta owi. Beiwa ohea-na Abraham jadi' monoa' hi poncilo Alata'ala?

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

²Ane rapa' -na Abraham jadi' monoa' hi poncilo Alata'ala sabana po'ingku-na to lompe', ma'ala napomolangko nono-na. Aga uma-hawo ria huraa-na Abraham mpomolangko nono-na hi nyanyoa Alata'ala.

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

³Apa' ria te'uki' hi Buku Tomoroli' to mpotompo'wiwi Abraham hewa toi: "Abraham mpopangala' Alata'ala, pai' ngkai pepangala' -na toe Alata'ala mpo'uli' kamonoa' -na hi poncilo-na."

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

⁴Ane rapa' -na tauna to mobago ngkoni' gaji', bate ma'ala-i mpesingarai' gaji' -na. Gaji' -na toe bela pewai' mara, bate anu-na mpu'u-mi-hawo.

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

⁵Tapi' posidaia' -ta hante Alata'ala uma hewa tetu. Apa' uma-hawo ngkai po'ingku-ta pai' alaa-na natarima-ta Alata'ala. Ane mepangala' -ta hi Alata'ala, nau' masala' -ta, na'uli' kamonoa' -ta hi poncilo-na ngkai pepangala' -ta hi Hi'a.

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

⁶Tudui' toi hibalia hante lolita Magau' Daud owi. Apa' Daud mpo'uli' kamarasi' -ra tauna to natarima Alata'ala hewa tauna to monoa', aga bela ngkai po'ingku-ra.

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

⁷Na'uli' hewa toi: Marasi' tauna to te'ampungi sala' -ra, pai' to tetawuhi-mi jeko' -ra.

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

⁸Marasi' mpu'u-ra, apa' Pue' Ala uma-pi mpotuntu' jeko' -ra."

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

⁹Rasi' to na'uli' Daud toe we'i, uma muntu' hi tauna to ratini' ntuku' atura agama Yahudi, tapi' hi tauna to uma ratini' wo'o. Apa' hewa to oti-mi ku'uli' we'i, Alata'ala mpo'uli' kamonoa' -na Abraham ngkai pepangala' -na-wadi.

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

¹⁰Ha nto'uma-i Abraham jadi' monoa' hi poncilo Alata'ala? Ka'oti-na ratini' ba kako'ia-na ratini' -di? Ane tabasa tutura-na, monoto-mi tahilo: Abraham jadi' monoa' hi poncilo Alata'ala kako'ia-na ratini'.

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:

¹¹Ratini' ngkabokoa' -i-damo-hawo, pai' karatini' -na toe jadi' tanda kamonoa' -na hi poncilo Alata'ala. Jadi', monoto-mi tahilo: Abraham jadi' monoa' hi poncilo Alata'ala ngkai pepangala' -na kako'ia-na ratini'. Toe pai' ma'ala-mi ta'uli', Abraham toe tapotuama omea. Abraham rapotuama tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi to mepangala' hi Yesus, apa' nau' uma-ra ratini' ntuku' Atura Pue', bate jadi' monoa' -ramo hi poncilo Alata'ala sabana pepangala' -ra, hibalia hante Abraham.

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.

¹²Wae wo'o Abraham rapotuama to Yahudi, apa' hi'a to rapotonco hawe'ea to Yahudi to ratini' pai' to mepangala' hi Alata'ala hibalia hante Abraham kako'ia-na ratini'.

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.

¹³Owi Alata'ala mojanci hi Abraham pai' hi muli-na kanawai' -ra mpai' dunia'. Patuju-na Alata'ala bona Abraham pai' muli-na mporata napa to najanci toe apa' mepangala' -ra, pai' ngkai pepangala' -ra toe hira' jadi' monoa' hi poncilo-na. Bela tauna to mpotuku' Atura Pue' to mporata napa to najanci Alata'ala.

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

¹⁴Apa' ane rapa' -na tauna to mpotuku' Atura Pue' mporata janci-na, batua-na pepangala' -ta hi Alata'ala uma ntoto ria tuju-na, pai' janci Alata'ala uma mpai' madupa'.

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

¹⁵Apa' roe Alata'ala lau-di to tarata ngkai Atura Pue', apa' mpotiboki-ta Atura-na toe. Ane ke Alata'ala uma mpowai' -ta Atura-na, ke uma-ta masala' mpotiboki Atura-na toe.

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,

¹⁶Jadi', Alata'ala mpo'uli' kamonoa' -ta hi poncilo-na muntu' ngkai pepangala' -ta, bona napa to najanci Alata'ala toe tatarima hewa pewai' mara, bona hawe'ea muli Abraham bate mporata napa to najanci Alata'ala. Janci Alata'ala toe, uma muntu' bagia to Yahudi to mpo'inca Atura Pue'. Janci Alata'ala toe, bate bagia hema-hema to mepangala' hi Alata'ala hewa Abraham. Apa' Abraham jadi' tuama-ta omea.

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.

¹⁷Ria lolita Alata'ala hi Abraham to mpo'uli' hewa toi: "Kupajadi' -moko tuama wori' tauna hi humalili' dunia'." Hi poncilo Alata'ala, Abraham jadi' tuama-ta omea, apa' mepangala' -i hi Alata'ala to mpotuwu' nculii' tomate, mepangala' -i hi Alata'ala to mpohowa' lolita-na mpokahangai' napa to ko'ia ria, alaa-na ria mpu'u-mi.

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.

¹⁸Nau' uma-pi ria poncarumakaa-na Abraham mo'anai', bate mepangala' pai' ncarumaka Alata'ala oa' -i. Napangala' janci-na Alata'ala to mpo'uli': kahi'a-na mpai' jadi' tuama wori' tauna hi humalili' dunia'. Apa' kako'ia-na Abraham mo'anai', Alata'ala mpo'uli' -ki hewa toi: "Muli-nu mpai' hewa betue' hi langi' kawori' -ra."

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:

¹⁹Hiaa' nto'u toe, umuru-na Abraham mohu' ha'atu mpae-mi, woto-na hewa to mate-mi, apa' tu'a-imi. Wae wo'o Sara tobine-na, woto-na hewa to mate wo'o-hawo apa' lalo-i. Na'inca moto hawe'ea toe. Aga nau' wae, uma mere' pepangala' -na.

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

²⁰Uma morara' nono-na hi pojanci Alata'ala. Bate mepangala' oa' -i, pai' pepangala' -na toe mporohoi nono-na. Toe pai' Abraham mpo'uli' tarima kasi ami' -mi hi Alata'ala,

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

²¹apa' naparasaya kamobaraka' -na Alata'ala mpopadupa' janci-na.

²²And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

²²Ngkai pepangala' -na toe-mi, pai' ria to te'uki' hi Buku Tomoroli' owi to mpo'uli': "Alata'ala mpo'uli' kamonoa' -na Abraham hi poncilo-na."

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

²³To te'uki' toe uma muntu' bagia-na Abraham-wadi.

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

²⁴To te'uki' toe bate bagia-ta omea. Kita' toi, natarima wo'o-tamo-tawo Alata'ala, na'uli' kamonoa' -ta hi poncilo-na, apa' mepangala' -ta hi Alata'ala to mpopotuwu' nculii' Pue' -ta, Pue' Yesus.

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

²⁵Yesus toe mpewai' woto-na rapatehi bona mpotolo' sala' -ta. Pai' oti toe Alata'ala mpotuwu' nculii' -i bona kita' jadi' monoa' hi poncilo-na.
