To the Romans
4 So wetin we can say about our great grandpa Abraham? 2 For example, if God wor coming say da Abraham wor righteous because of the thing dem he do, then Abraham wor coming to get reason to make big mouth, but not in front of God. 3 But wetin the scripture say? “Abraham put faith in Jehovah,* and this one make God to look at him to be righteous person.” 4 If somebody work, his boss man can pay him. The boss man not pay him because the boss man good, but da because he work for it. 5 But when somebody put faith in God and he not put his trust in the thing dem he hisself can do, God can look at him to be righteous because of his faith. Da God can look at people who can sin to be righteous. 6 Da what David mean when he say da the man who God look at to be righteous can be happy even though he not work for it. He say: 7 “The people dem who God forgive for the wicked thing dem they do can be happy. 8 The person who Jehovah* will not hold for his sin again can be happy.”
9 So, da only the people dem who circumcise can be happy, or the people dem who not circumcise can also be happy? Because we say: “Da Abraham faith make God to look at him to be righteous person.” 10 So what time God look at Abraham to be righteous person? Da the time he wor circumcise or da the time he wor not circumcise? Da the time he wor not circumcise. 11 And God tell Abraham to get circumcise. Da wor sign to show da he wor righteous person because of the faith he wor having even before he wor circumcise. This one happen the time he wor not circumcise yet so da he can be the father for all the people dem da get faith. And God look at them to be righteous people. 12 Also Abraham da the father for the people dem who circumcise. He not the father for only the people dem who circumcise. But he also the father for the people dem who follow his example and get faith like him the time he wor not circumcise yet.
13 God not promise to give Abraham and his children dem the new world because they obey the Law. But God look at them to be righteous people because they wor having faith. 14 If God only give the blessing to the people who can obey the Law, then faith not get any benefit. And the promise God made to Abraham will be for nothing. 15 To talk the truth, the Law can bring punishment. But when no law there, nobody will break it.
16 Da because Abraham get faith, da it make it he get the promise. And this one happen because of God special kindness, so da all his children dem can benefit from his promise. Not just the one dem who obey the Law, but all the people dem who follow Abraham in showing faith. And da he the father for all of us. 17 (Da just what the Scriptures say: “I choose you to be the father for plenty nation dem.”) Abraham show this kindna faith in front of God who can make the people who na die to come back to life, and who can talk about thing dem da not happen yet just like they already na happen. 18 Abraham wor not having any hope da he wor coming get children. But because of hope, he wor having faith da he wor coming be the father for plenty nation dem just how God promise him when he say: “Da how your children dem will be plenty.” 19 Even though his faith not get weak, he wor thinking da he wor not coming born children again (because he wor almost 100 years old). And also, he knew da Sarah wor too old to born children. 20 But because of God promise, Abraham wor having faith and he never lose hope. And his faith made him powerful, and he praise God. 21 He wor really sure da God wor able to do what he promise. 22 So because of his faith, “God look at him to be righteous person.”
23 But not only because of him they write this thing in the scripture da say, “God look at him to be righteous person.” 24 But they also write it for us. God will look at us to be righteous too because we believe in Him who bring our Lord Jesus back to life. 25 God allow them to kill Jesus because of our sins. And he bring him back to life so da He can call us righteous people.
