1What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, has discovered?
1A LAILA, heaha la ka kakou mea e olelo ai, ua loaa ia Aberahama ko kakou makua ma ke kino?
2If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.
2A, ina ua hoaponoia mai o Aberahama ma na hana, he mea kana e kaena ai, aole nae imua o ke Akua.
3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
3Heaha ka mea a ka palapala hemolele i olelo mai ai? Ua manaoio o Aberahama i ko Akua, a ua hooliloia hoi ia i pono nona.
4Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.
4A o ka mea e hana ana, aole i manaoia kona uku no ka lokomaikai ia, aka, no ka aie.
5However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
5Aka, o ka mea hana ole, a i manaoio aku i ka mea nana e hoapono mai i ka mea pono ole, ua hooliloia mai kona manaoio i pono nona.
6And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
6Pela no hoi o Davida i olelo mai ai i ka pomaikai ana o ke kanaka, ia ia ko ke Akua hoolilo ana i ka pono me ka hana ole;
7“Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
7Pomaikai ka poe i kalaia ko lakou hala, a i uhiia ko lakou hewa:
8Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”
8Pomaikai ke kanaka ke hoopili ole ka Haku i ka hewa ia ia.
9Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
9Maluna o ka poe i okipoepoeia wale no anei keia pomaikai? A maluna anei o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia kekahi? No ka mea, ke olelo nei makou, ua hooliloia ka manaoio i pono no Aberahama.
10In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.
10Ihea la ia i hooliloia'i? I kona noho okipoepoeia anei? a i kona noho okipoepoe ole ia anei? Aole i kona noho okipoepoeia, aka, i kona noho okipoepoe ole ia.
11And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
11A ua loaa ia ia ke okipoepoeia i hoailona no ka pono o kona manaoio ana i kona wa i okipoepoe ole ia'i; i lilo ai oia i makua no ka poe a pau e manaoio ana me ke okipoepoe ole ia, i hooliloia'i ka pono ia lakou;
12And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
12A i makua no ka poe i okipoepoeia kekahi, aole ka poe i okipoepoe wale ia no, aka, o hele ana hoi ma na kapuwai o ko kakou makua o Aberahama i kona noho okipoepoe ole ia.
13For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
13No ka mea, o ka olelo mai ia Aberahama a i kana mamo, e lilo ia i hooilina no ke ao nei, aole ia ma ke kanawai, aka, ma ka pono o ka manaoio.
14For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,
14No ka mea, ina i lilo ka poe ma ke kanawai i poe hooilina, ina ua lilo ka manaoio i mea ole, a ua ole no hoi ka mea i oleloia mai:
15because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.
15No ka mea, o ke kanawai ke kumu o ka inaina; no ka mea, ma kahi kanawai ole, aole he ae ana maluna.
16Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
16Nolaila, ma ka manaoio ia, i haawi lokomaikai ia mai ia; i oiaio ai ka olelo hoopomaikai na ka poe mamo a pau, aole na na mea ma ke kanawai wale no, aka, na na mea hoi ma ka manaoio o Aberahama; oia ka makua o kakou a pau,
17As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.
17(E like me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua hoolilo au ia oe i makua no na lahuikanaka he nui no,) imua o ke alo o ke Akua ana i manaoio ai, ka mea i haawi i ke ola no ka poe make, a i olelo hoi i na mea i hana ole ia, me he mau mea la i hanaia.
18Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”
18Oia ka mea, imua o ka manaolana, i paulele ai me ka manaolana, e lilo ia i makua no na lahuikanaka he nui no; e like me ka mea i oleloia, Pela no kau poe mamo.
19Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.
19A i kona nawaliwali ole ana ma ka manaoio, aole ia i manao i kona kino iho me he mea make la, i kona kokoke ana i ka haneri o kona mau makahiki, aole hoi i ka make o ka opu o Sara:
20Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
20Aole hoi ia i kanalua i ka olelo ana mai a ke Akua, ma ka hoomaloka; aka, ua ikaika ia ma ka manaoio, e hoonani ana i ke Akua;
21being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.
21A ua maopopo lea kona manao e hiki no ia ia ke hooko mai i ka mea ana i olelo mai ai.
22This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”
22No ia mea, ua hooliloia ia i pono nona.
23Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,
23Aole nona wale no i palapalaia'i, ua hooliloia ia nona:
24but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
24Aka, no kakou kekahi, ka poe e hooliloia mai ai ia, ka poe e manao ana i ka mea nana i hoala mai ia Iesu ko kakou Haku mai waena mai o ka poe make,
25He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.
25Ka mea i haawiia no ko kakou hewa, a ua hoala hou ia mai i hoapanoia'i kakou.
