1 W hat about Abraham, our early father? What did he learn?

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

2 I f Abraham was made right with God by what he did, he would have had something to be proud of. But he could not be proud before God.

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

3 T he Holy Writings say, “Abraham put his trust in God and that made him right with God.”

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

4 I f a man works, his pay is not a gift. It is something he has earned.

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

5 I f a man has not worked to be saved, but has put his trust in God Who saves men from the punishment of their sins, that man is made right with God because of his trust in God.

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

6 D avid tells of this. He spoke of how happy the man is who puts his trust in God without working to be saved from the punishment of sin.

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

7 “ Those people are happy whose sinful acts are forgiven and whose sins are covered.

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

8 T hose people are happy whose sins the Lord will not remember.”

Waxaa barakaysan ninkii Rabbigu uusan dembi u tirinayn.

9 I s this happiness given to the Jews only? Or is it given also to the people who are not Jews? We say again, “Abraham put his trust in God and that made him right with God.”

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 W hen did this happen? Was it before or after Abraham went through the religious act of becoming a Jew? It was before.

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

11 H e went through the religious act after he had put his trust in God. That religious act proved that his trust in God made him right with God even before he went through the religious act of becoming a Jew. In that way, it made him the early father of all those who believe. It showed that those who did not go through the religious act of becoming a Jew could be right with God.

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 H e is also the early father of all those who have gone through the religious act of becoming a Jew. It is not because they went through the act. It is because they put their trust in God the same as Abraham did before he went through the religious act of becoming a Jew.

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 G od promised to give the world to him and to all his family after him. He did not make this promise because Abraham obeyed the Law. He promised to give the world to Abraham because he put his trust in God. This made him right with God.

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 those who obey the Law are to get the world, then a person putting his trust in God means nothing. God’s promise to Abraham would be worth nothing.

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 G od’s anger comes on a man when he does not obey the Law. But if there were no Law, then no one could break it.

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

16 S o God’s promise is given to us because we put our trust in Him. We can be sure of it. It is because of His loving-favor to us. It is for all the family of Abraham. It is for those who obey the Law. It is for those who put their trust in God as Abraham did. In this way, he is the father of all Christians.

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 T he Holy Writings say, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This promise is good because of Who God is. He makes the dead live again. He speaks, and something is made out of nothing.

(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 A braham believed he would be the father of many nations. He had no reason to hope for this, but he had been told, “Your children will become many nations.”

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 A braham was about one hundred years old. His body was about dead, but his faith in God was not weak when he thought of his body. His faith was not weak when he thought of his wife Sarah being past the age of having children.

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

20 A braham did not doubt God’s promise. His faith in God was strong, and he gave thanks to God.

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

21 H e was sure God was able to do what He had promised.

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

22 A braham put his trust in God and was made right with Him.

Sidaas daraaddeedna waxaa loogu tiriyey xaqnimo.

23 T he words, “He was made right with God,” were not for Abraham only.

Wixii loo tiriyey looma qorin isaga aawadiis oo keliya,

24 T hey were for us also. God will make us right with Himself the same way He did Abraham, if we put our trust in 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 J esus died for our sins. He was raised from the dead to make us right with God.

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