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

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

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 has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before 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 does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as 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 works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but 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 who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as 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 declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

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

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

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

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

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.

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 has it been 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 [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;

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 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.

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 [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.

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 which [are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no 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 law works wrath; but where no law is 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.

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,

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(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;

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 against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was 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 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,

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,

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

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

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

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 to him as righteousness.

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

²³Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to 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 on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,

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