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

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

²For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward 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? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6

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

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

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 doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for 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 pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from 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:

⁷“Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are 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 is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.” Psalm 32:1-2

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

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

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

¹⁰How then was it counted? 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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;

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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