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

¹What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

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

²For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

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

³For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6

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

⁴Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

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

⁵But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

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

⁶Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

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

⁷“Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

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

⁸Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.” Psalm 32:1-2

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

⁹Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

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.

¹⁰How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

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,

¹¹He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

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.

¹²He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

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

¹³For the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

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

¹⁴For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

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

¹⁵For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

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 -

¹⁶For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may 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.

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.

¹⁷As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” Genesis 17:5 This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

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

¹⁸Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your seed be.” Genesis 15:5

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

¹⁹Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

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

²⁰Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

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

²¹and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

²²Seepärast see arvestatigi talle õiguseks.

²²Therefore it also was “reckoned to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6

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

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

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

²⁴but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,

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

²⁵who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
