1What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.
1To tih nahaeloe hae hmuen pongah aicae ampa Abraham mah taksa ah tih atho maw hnuk?
2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
2Abraham mah toksakhaih hoiah toenghaih hnu nahaeloe, anih amoek hanah hmuen maeto oh; toe Sithaw hmaa ah loe amoek thai mak ai.
3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
3Cabu mah timaw thuih? Abraham mah Sithaw to tang pongah, to tanghaih to toenghaih ah tapom pae, tiah oh.
4Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.
4Toksahkung mah a toksakhaih atho hnuk naah, tahmenhaih hoiah hnuk ih tangqum ah om ai, a hnuk han koi a tok sakhaih atho to ni a hnuk.
5But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.
5Toe toksakhaih tawn ai kami loe Anih tanghaih tawn kami hanah toenghaih Paekkung to tang nahaeloe, a tanghaih rang hoiah katoeng kami ah oh.
6As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:
6To baktih toengah toksakhaih om ai ah, Sithaw mah paek ih toenghaih hnu kami ih tahamhoihaih to David mah,
7Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
7sakpazaehaihnawk tahmen pae moe, zaehaihnawk khuk pae ah kaom kaminawk loe tahamhoih o.
8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.
8Angraeng zae nethaih thung hoi loih kami loe tahamhoih, tiah thuih.
9This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only, or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.
9Abraham tanghaih loe toenghaih ah tapom pae, tiah a thuih o boeh. To tiah nahaeloe hae tahamhoihhaih loe tangyat hin aat kami han khue maw oh, tangyat hin aat ai kaminawk han doeh oh toeng maw?
10How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
10Kawbangah oh naah maw to tiah tapom pae? Tangyat hin a aah pacoengah maw? To tih ai boeh loe aat ai na ah? Aah pacoengah na ai, aat ai na ah ni toenghaih to hnuk boeh.
11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith, which he had, being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised, that unto them also it may be reputed to justice:
11Anih loe tangyat hin aat o ai, toe to toenghaih to nihcae mah hnuk o toeng, tangcaanawk boih ih ampa ah a oh hanah, Abraham loe tangyat hin aat ai naah ni, tanghaih hoiah kaom toenghaih tacik tangyat hin aah angmathaih to hnuk boeh.
12And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
12Abraham loe tangyat hin aat kaminawk ih ampa khue na ai ni, tangyat hin aat ai naah Abraham tanghaih khokkong pazui kaminawk boih ih ampa ah doeh oh.
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 justice of faith.
13Abraham loe long qawktoepkung ah om tih, tiah lokkamhaih to oh: to lokkamhaih loe Abraham mah kaalok pazui pongah na ai ni, tanghaih rang hoiah kaom toenghaih hoiah ni oh.
14For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, the promise is made of no effect.
14Kaalok hoiah hing kaminawk mah qawk to toep o nahaeloe, tanghaih loe avanghaih tidoeh om mak ai ueloe, lokkamhaih doeh azom pui ah ni om tih boeh:
15For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
15Kaalok mah palungphuihaih to ohsak: kaalok om ai ahmuen ah loe zaehaih doeh om ai.
16Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm 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,
16Abraham ih caanawk boih khaeah tahmenhaih rang hoiah kaom lokkamhaih to caaksak hanah, tanghaih loe lokpui koekah oh; lokkamhaih loe kaalok thungah kaom kaminawk han khue na ai ni, kaminawk boih ih ampa ah kaom, Abraham tanghaih tawn kaminawk boih khaeah doeh om tih,
17(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations,) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.
17Abraham loe kadueh kaminawk hinghaih paekkung, kaom ai hmuennawk omsakkung hoi a tang ih Sithaw hmaa ah, (Nang loe acaeng kaminawk boih ih ampa ah kang sak boeh,) tiah tarik ih lok to oh.
18Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.
18Na caanawk loe to tiah om o nasoe, tiah anih khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Abraham mah kai loe acaengnawk ih ampa ah ka om tih, tiah oephaih to tawn ai, toe tanghaih rang hoiah oephaih a tawnh pongah ni, anih loe acaengnawk boih ih ampa ah oh.
19And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.
19Abraham loe (saning cumvaito thuemtham oh boeh,) Sarah doeh caa kak, toe tanghaih thazok ai, kadueh baktiah kaom a takpum doeh poek khing ai.
20In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
20Anih loe Sithaw lokkamhaih nuiah palunghaenghaih tawn ai, tanghaih bangah thacak moe, Sithaw to pakoeh;
21Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
21lokkamhaih sah Sithaw loe lokkam ih baktiah sak thaih, tiah kacaak tanghaih to a tawnh.
22And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
22To pongah, anih to kami katoeng ah tapom.
23Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,
23Anih to katoeng kami ah tapom, tiah tarik ih lok loe anih han khue tarik ai;
24But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
24aicae han doeh tarik ah oh toeng, aicae Angraeng Jesu duekhaih thung hoi pathawkkung Anih to a tang o nahaeloe, to tiah tanghaih to aicae toenghaih ah tapom pae toeng tih;
25Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.
25Jesu loe aicae zaehaih pongah duek hanah angpaek moe, aicae toenghaih hnuk hanah duekhaih thung hoi angthawk let boeh.
