As its name implies, "pdb4amber" is designed to prepare pdb files for *Amber*,
which internally always numbers atoms and residues starting at 1. It creates
a "renum" file than can be used to map the original numbering scheme to the new
one.
If you don't want the renumbering to occur, then it seems likely(?) that you are
planning to use the output for something else than feeding to Amber.
So: there is no option to avoid the renumbering, since that is in many ways
crucial to what pdb4amber is designed to do. There are a number of ways
to reference the "original" residue numbers: see, e.g. the addPdb action
in parmed, and the -ext flag in ambpdb.
