1Te koinih pumsa ah a pa Abraham loh a hmuh te metla n'thui uh eh?
1What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
2Abraham he khoboe loh tang sak koinih thangpomnah a khueh, Tedae Pathen taengkah moenih,
2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
3Te dongah cacim loh balae a thui? Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
4A saii dongkah thapang te lungvatnah la n'nawt pawt vetih a laiba banghui ni te.
4Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
5Saii pawt dae baltalh aka tang sak kung soah a tangnah vaengkah tangnah te duengnah la a nawt pah.
5But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
6David long pataeng khaw, “Khoboe kah voelah Pathen loh duengnah la a nawt pah hlang te tah yoethennah ni,” a ti.
6Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7Olaeknah loh a hlah tih a tholh a muekdah pah rhoek te tah a yoethen uh.
7“Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8Boeipa loh tholh a nawt pah voel pawt hlang te tah a yoethen,
8Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
9Tangkhuet la, “He yoethennah tah yahvinrhetnah soah pawt atah pumdul ham a?” n'ti uh vaengah Abraham kah a tangnah te ni duengnah la a nawt pah.
9Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10Te vaengah metlam a nawt pah? yahvinrhetnah a om vaengah a? Pumdul vaengah a? yahvinrhetnah vaengah pawt tih pumdul vaengah ni.
10How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11Te dongah yahvinrhetnah he miknoek la a dang te pumdul vaengkah aka tangnah kah duengnah kutnoek ni. Anih te pumdul lamloh aka tangnah rhoek boeih kah a napa la om sak ham neh amih te khaw duengnah la nawt ham ni ana khueh.
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.
12Te phoeiah, yahvinrhetnah kah pa he, yahvinrhetnah bueng kah pawt tih a pa Abraham pumdul vaeng kah tangnah kholaeh te aka vai rhoek ham khaw a om sak.
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.
13Abraham neh a tiingan te Diklai rhopangkung la om ham te olkhueng nen pawt tih tangnah kah duengnah nen ni olkhueh a paek.
13For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14Olkhueng rhang neh rhopangkung la om koinih, tangnah te tlongtlai tih olkhueh te a hmil coeng.
14For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
15Olkhueng loh thintoek a thoeng sak dae olkhueng a om na pawt ah boekoeknah a om moenih,
15For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
16A lungvatnah vanbangla olkhueh kah tiingan boeih taengah a khangmai la om sak ham khaw tangnah nen ni a om tangloeng. Olkhueng kah tiingan taeng bueng ah pawt tih Abraham kah tangnah kah tiingan taengah khaw a om sak. Amah tah mamih boeih kah napa la om.
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 offspring, 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.
17Namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la nang kan coelh tila a daek tangtae vanbangla anih loh a tangnah hlan ah aka duek rhoek te aka hing sak tih, aka om pawt te aka om bangla aka khue, Pathen te om lamhma coeng.
17As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” 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.
18Anih tah a ngaiuepnah voel ah a ngaiuep tih a tangnah dongah namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la om ni tila a thui vanbangla nang kah tiingan te om van ni.
18Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
19Kum yacut pakhat lo tih aka duek tangtae amah pum neh Sarah kah bung duekrhok te a poek dae tangnah dongah a thathae pawh,
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.
20Tedae Pathen kah olkhueh soah hnalvalnah neh boelhkhoeh pawt tih tangnah neh a thaphoh,
20Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21Pathen te thangpomnah a paek vaengah olkhueh te aka rhoi thai khaw amah ni tila m'ming.
21and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
22Te dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
22Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
23Tedae anih taengah a nawt te amah bueng ham a daek pah moenih,
23Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
24Tedae mamih ham khaw, duek lamkah aka thoo mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh aka tangnah rhoek ham khaw amah te a nawt coeng.
24but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25Amah te mamih kah tholhdalhnah kongah a voeih tih mamih kah tiktamnah ham a thoh coeng.
25who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
