¹What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?

¹Apo so te mothas, so lia o Abraham amaro dat?

²For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;

²Te avilino o Abraham arakhlo vorta katar O Del palal dieli kai kerdia, sai kerdino barimata, numa nashtil te kerel barimata angla Del. Chaches E Vorba le Devleski mothol.

³for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

³"O Abraham pachaiape ando Del, ai O Del jinelas les vorta pala pesko pachamos."

⁴Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but of debt:

⁴O manush kai kerel buchi si les pochin; kodia pochin nai jindi sar iek podarka ivia, numa kerdia buchi pala late.

⁵but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

⁵Numa kana iek manush bi te kerel buchi thol ferdi pesko pachamos ando Del, ai O Del jinel vorta le bezexa leske, O Del dikhel lesko pachamos te jinel les sar vorta angla leste.

⁶Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

⁶Ai kadia si kai o David del duma pa raduimos le manushesko, kai O Del jinel les vorta bi te lel sama so kerel:

⁷Blessed [they] whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered:

⁷"Raduime te aven kodola kai O Del iertisardia lenge shipki, ai kai iertisardia lenge bezexa. Raduime o manush kai O Del chi jinel lesko bezex.

⁸blessed [the] man to whom [the] Lord shall not at all reckon sin.

⁸Kado mishtimos si ferdi le manushenge kai si semno pe lende, vai vi le manushenge kai nai semno pe lende?

⁹[Does] this blessedness then [rest] on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

⁹Akana so phendiam ke O Del jinel le Abrahamos sa vorta, ke lel sama ka lesko pachamos." (Gen 15:6).

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

¹⁰Kana kodia diela kerdili? Sas mai angla vai mai palal kana Abraham sas semno pe leste? Nichi mai palal, numa mai anglal.

¹¹And he received [the] sign of circumcision [as] seal of the righteousness of faith which [he had] being in uncircumcision, that he might be [the] father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;

¹¹O Abraham sas les dino o semno te dichol, kodia sas o semno te sikavel ke O Del jinelas les sa vorta pala pesko pachamos mai anglal sar te avel semno pe leste, o Abraham kai si o dat sa kodolenge kai pachanpe ando Del, bi te aven semnome, kodia si kodola kai nai ferdi ke si semnome, numa ke lenpe pala traio le pachamasko ke sar amaro dat, o Abraham traiisardia mai anglal sar te avel semnome.

¹²and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of [the] circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.

¹³O Del shinadia le Abrahamoske ai kodolenge kai aven pala leste ke e lumia avela lenge. Kodo shinaimos na ke o Abraham kerdia o zakono, numa ke sas jindo sa vorta katar O Del pala pesko pachamos.

¹³For [it was] not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of [the] world, but by righteousness of faith.

¹⁴Te avilino kodola kai keren o zakono ferdi won te len so sas shinado. Apo o pachamos intaino lo, ai so sas shinado katar O Del nas te mol kanch.

¹⁴For if they which [are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.

¹⁵Ke o zakono anel e xoli le Devleski; Numa kotse kai nai zakono, nai chi bezexa.

¹⁵For law works wrath; but where no law is neither [is there] transgression.

¹⁶Anda kodia so sas shinado katar O Del sas pala pachamos, saxke te avel ek podarka ivia katar O Del, ai te avel lashi sas kodolenge kai avena katar o Abraham. Na ferdi kodolenge kai keren o zakono, numa vi kodolenge kai pachanpe sar o Abraham pachaiape, o Abraham si amaro dat savorhenge;

¹⁶Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,

¹⁷Sar mothol E Vorba le Devleski, "Kerdem anda tute o dat bute themengo." Wo si amaro dat angla Del ande kodo kai pachaiape, O Del kai del o traio le mulen, ai kerel te avel so nas shoxar.

¹⁷(according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;

¹⁸O Abraham pachaiape ai azhukerelas, kana nas kanch te azhukerelas, ai kerdilo kadia "O dat bute themengo" Vorta sar O Del phendiasas leske, 'Avela but narodo pala tute.'

¹⁸who against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be:

¹⁹Pashte iek shel bershengo sas; numa lesko pachamos chi kovliolas kana delas pe goji ka pesko stato, kai sas vunzhe sar mulo, ai e Sarah kai nashtilas te avel la glate.

¹⁹and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah's womb,

²⁰Chi xasardo pesko pachamos, ai pachalaspe ande so shinadiasas leske O Del; inker lesko pachamos bariolas, ai naisilas le Devles.

²⁰and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;

²¹Pachalaspe zurales ke O Del si les e putiera te kerel so shinadia.

²¹and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;

²²Anda kodia o Abraham pala pesko pachamos, sas jindo vorta katar O Del.

²²wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

²³Numa kadala vorbi "jindo sar vorta" nas ferdi ramome leske,

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

²⁴Sas ramome vi amenge, ai iame sam jinde sa vorta, ame kai pachas ande leste kai vazdia andai martia ka traio O Jesus amaro Del.

²⁴but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,

²⁵Sas dino kai martia pala amare bezexa, ai sas andino palpale ka traio amenge te kerel anda amende vorta angla Del.

²⁵who has been delivered for our offences and has been raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.
