¹What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh?

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

²for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast — but not before god;

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

³for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;`

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

⁴and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;

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

⁵and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned — to righteousness:

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

⁶even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:

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

⁷`Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered;

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

⁸happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.`

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

⁹[Is] this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision — for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham — to righteousness?

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

¹⁰how then was it reckoned? he being 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 a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

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 father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that [is] in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

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 not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, 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 who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

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

¹⁵for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression.

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

¹⁶Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,

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 -

¹⁷who is father of us all (according as it hath been written — `A father of many nations I have set thee,`) before Him whom he did believe — God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.

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 in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that 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 not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah`s womb,

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

²⁰and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

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

²¹and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do:

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

²²wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.

²²Seepärast see arvestatigi talle õiguseks.

²³And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him,

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

²⁴but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned — to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,

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

²⁵who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

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