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

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

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.

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

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."

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

⁶Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,

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

⁷[saying], Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.

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

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

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.

⁹Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.

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'.

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

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.

¹¹and he 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 them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;

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'.

¹²and the father of circumcision to them 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.

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.

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

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'.

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

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.

¹⁵for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

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.

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

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.

¹⁷(as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

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."

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 shall thy seed be.

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.

¹⁹And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb;

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,

²⁰yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,

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

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

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."

²²Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

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

²³Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;

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.

²⁴but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

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.

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