1

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

Wat sal ons dan sê dat Abraham, ons vader, volgens die vlees gevind het?

2

For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God.

Want as Abraham deur werke geregverdig is, het hy iets om in te roem; maar nie voor God nie.

3

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

Want wat sê die Skrif? Abraham het God geglo, en dit is hom tot geregtigheid gereken.

4

Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

Nou aan hom wat werk, word die loon nie gereken volgens genade nie, maar volgens skuld.

5

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Maar aan hom wat nie werk nie, maar glo in Hom wat die goddelose regverdig, word sy geloof tot geregtigheid gereken.

6

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

Net soos Dawid ook die geseëndheid van die mens beskryf, aan wie God geregtigheid toereken sonder werke,

7

[Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Sê, Geseënd is hulle wie se ongeregtighede vergewe is, en wie se sondes bedek is.

8

Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Geseënd is die man aan wie die Here die sonde nie toereken nie.

9

[Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only], or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Kom hierdie geseëndheid dan op die besnydenis alleen, of op die onbesnedenheid ook? want ons sê dat die geloof aan Abraham tot geregtigheid gereken is.

10

How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

Hoe is dit dan gerekend? toe hy in die besnydenis was, of in die onbesnedenheid? Nie in die besnydenis nie, maar in die onbesnedenheid.

11

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which [he had yet] being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

En hy het die teken van die besnydenis ontvang, ’n seël van die geregtigheid van die geloof wat hy gehad het terwyl hy nog onbesnede was: dat hy die vader van almal sou wees wat glo, al is hulle nie besny nie; dat die geregtigheid ook aan hulle toegereken mag word:

12

And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which [he had] being [yet] uncircumcised.

En die vader van die besnydenis aan hulle wat nie alleen van die besnydenis is nie, maar ook wandel in die voetstappe van daardie geloof van ons vader Abraham, wat hy gehad het terwyl hy nog onbesnede was.

13

For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Want die belofte, dat hy die erfgenaam van die wêreld sou wees, is nie aan Abraham of aan sy saad deur die wet gegee nie, maar deur die geregtigheid van die geloof.

14

For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

Want as hulle wat van die wet is erfgename is, is die geloof tot niet gemaak, en die belofte tot niet gemaak:

15

Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.

Omdat die wet toorn werk: want waar geen wet is nie, is daar geen oortreding nie.

16

Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to the end the promise might be sure 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,

Daarom is dit uit die geloof, dat dit volgens genade mag wees; tot die einde dat die belofte seker mag wees aan die hele saad; nie alleen aan dié wat van die wet is nie, maar ook aan dié wat van die geloof van Abraham is; wat die vader is van ons almal,

17

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

(Soos geskrywe is, Ek het jou ’n vader van baie nasies gemaak,) voor Hom wat hy geglo het, selfs God, wat die dooies lewend maak, en die dinge roep wat nie is nie asof hulle is.

18

Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

Wat teen hoop op hoop geglo het, dat hy die vader van baie nasies sou word, volgens dit wat gespreek is, So sal jou saad wees.

19

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:

En nie swak in die geloof nie, het hy nie sy eie liggaam nou al dood ag nie, toe hy omtrent ’n honderd jaar oud was, of die doodsheid van Sara se skoot:

20

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

Hy het ook nie aan die belofte van God getwyfel deur ongeloof nie; maar is sterk in die geloof, en het God die eer gegee;

21

And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

En was ten volle oortuig dat, wat Hy beloof het, Hy ook in staat was om te doen.

22

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

En daarom is dit hom tot geregtigheid gereken.

23

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

Nou is dit nie alleen om sy ontwil geskrywe dat dit hom toegereken is nie;

24

But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Maar ook om ons ontwil, aan wie dit toegereken sal word, as ons glo in Hom wat Jesus onse Here uit die dooies opgewek het;

25

Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Wat oorgelewer is om ons oortredinge, en opgewek is om ons regverdigmaking.
