1 i f so, what shall we say about Abraham, our forefather humanly speaking— find out?

Haddaba maxaynu nidhaahnaa inuu helay Ibraahim oo awowgeennii hore ahaa xagga jidhka?

2 F or if Abraham was justified ( established as just by acquittal from guilt) by good works he has grounds for boasting. But not before God!

Waayo, haddii Ibraahim shuqullo xaq ku noqday, wax uu ku faano buu leeyahay ee Ilaah hortiisa ma aha.

3 F or what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed in (trusted in) God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness (right living and right standing with God).

Maxaa Qorniinku leeyahay? Ibraahimna Ilaah buu rumaystay, oo waxaa isaga loogu tiriyey xaqnimo.

4 N ow to a laborer, his wages are not counted as a favor or a gift, but as an obligation (something owed to him).

Haddee kii shaqeeya abaalgudkiisa looguma tiriyo sida nimco laakiinse sida qaan oo kale.

5 B ut to one who, not working, trusts (believes fully) in Him Who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited to him as righteousness (the standing acceptable to God).

Laakiin kii aan shaqayn illowse rumaysta kan xaq ka dhiga kuwa aan cibaadada lahayn, rumaysadkiisa waxaa lagu tiriyaa xaqnimo.

6 T hus David congratulates the man and pronounces a blessing on him to whom God credits righteousness apart from the works he does:

Sida Daa'uudna uga sheegayo barakadii ninkii Ilaah xaq u tiriyo shuqullola'aantood, isagoo leh,

7 B lessed and happy and to be envied are those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered up and completely buried.

Waxaa barakaysan kuwa xadgudubyadooda la cafiyey, Oo dembiyadooda la daboolay.

8 B lessed and happy and to be envied is the person of whose sin the Lord will take no account nor reckon it against him.

Waxaa barakaysan ninkii Rabbigu uusan dembi u tirinayn.

9 I s this blessing (happiness) then meant only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.

Haddaba barakadan miyaa lagaga hadlay kuwa gudan oo keliya, mise kuwa buuryoqabka ahna waa lagaga hadlay? Waayo, waxaannu nidhaahnaa, Ibraahim rumaysadkiisii waxaa loogu tiriyey xaqnimo.

10 H ow then was it credited ? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.

Sidee baa haddaba loogu tiriyey? Ma markuu gudnaa, mise markuu buuryoqabka ahaa? Ma aha markuu gudnaa, laakiinse waa markuu buuryoqabka ahaa;

11 H e received the mark of circumcision as a token or an evidence seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised— so that he was to be made the father of all who believe, though without circumcision, and who thus have righteousness (right standing with God) imputed to them and credited to their account,

oo wuxuu helay calaamada gudniinta, tan ahayd shaabaddii xaqnimada oo rumaysadkii uu haystay intuu buuryoqabka ahaa; inuu noqdo aabbihii inta rumaysata oo dhan in kastoo ay buuryoqab yihiin, in xaqnimo loo tiriyo iyaga,

12 A s well as the father of those circumcised persons who are not merely circumcised, but also walk in the way of that faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

iyo inuu aabbaha gudniinta u noqdo kuwa aan ahayn kuwa gudan oo keliya laakiinse kuwa ku socda tallaabooyinka rumaysadka ee Aabbeheen Ibraahim haystay intuu buuryoqabka ahaa. Ballankii Waxaa Lagu Helay Rumaysadka

13 F or the promise to Abraham or his posterity, that he should inherit the world, did not come through the Law but through the righteousness of faith.

Waayo, ballankii lagula ballamay Ibraahim ama farcankiisii inuu ku noqdo kii dunida dhaxli lahaa, uguma iman sharciga, laakiinse wuxuu ugu yimid xaqnimada rumaysadka.

14 I f it is the adherents of the Law who are to be the heirs, then faith is made futile and empty of all meaning and the promise is made void (is annulled and has no power).

Waayo, haddii kuwa sharciga leh ay noqdaan kuwa dhaxalka leh, de markaas rumaysadkii waxaa laga dhigay wax aan waxtar lahayn, ballankiina waa la buriyey,

15 F or the Law results in wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.

maxaa yeelay, sharcigu wuxuu keenaa cadho, laakiinse meeshii aan sharci jirin xadgudubna ma jiro.

16 T herefore, the promise is the outcome of faith and depends on faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to the devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

Taas daraaddeed waa xagga rumaysadka inay noqoto xagga nimcada, in ballanku hubaal u ahaado farcanka oo dhan; ee uusan u ahayn kan sharciga leh oo keliya, laakiinse inuu u ahaado kan leh rumaysadkii Ibraahim, kan aabbaha inoo ah kulligeen,

17 A s it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that as if they existed.

(sida qoran, Quruumo badan baan aabbe kaaga dhigay) Ilaaha uu rumaystay hortiisa, kan nooleeya kuwii dhintay oo u yeedha waxyaalaha aan jirin sida iyagoo jira.

18 h ope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So shall your descendants be.

Ibraahim rajuu wax ku rumaystay iyadoo aan rajo jirin inuu aabbe u noqdo quruumo badan, sida waxyaalihii lagula hadlay leeyihiin, Farcankaagu sidaasuu noqon doonaa.

19 H e did not weaken in faith when he considered the impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or the barrenness of Sarah’s womb.

Isagoo aan rumaysadkii ku tabaryaraan wuxuu ka fikiray jidhkiisii sida meyd oo kale ahaa (isagoo boqol jir ku dhow) iyo meydnimadii maxalkii Saarah.

20 N o unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God,

Ballankii Ilaah rumaysaddarro kagama uu shakiyin, laakiinse rumaysad buu ku xoogaystay, isagoo Ilaah ammaanaya

21 F ully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.

oo aad u huba in wixii uu u ballanqaaday uu samayn karo.

22 T hat is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God).

Sidaas daraaddeedna waxaa loogu tiriyey xaqnimo.

23 B ut, It was credited to him, were written not for his sake alone,

Wixii loo tiriyey looma qorin isaga aawadiis oo keliya,

24 B ut for our sakes too. will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

laakiin waxaa loo qoray innaga aawadeenna. Waa loo tirin doonaa kuweenna rumaysan kii kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kiciyey Rabbigeenna Ciise,

25 W ho was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal),.

kii loo bixiyey xadgudubkeenna aawadiis oo loo sara kiciyey inuu xaq inaga dhigo.
