Louma 9
1 Na da dafawane sia: sa! Na da Gelesu dunu. Amaiba: le, na da ogogosu hame dawa: Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa da na asigi dawa: su amoma na da hame ogogosa sia: sa.
I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.
2 Na da da: i dioi bagade. Na dogo ganodini mae yolesili se naba.
I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
3 Bai na da na osobo bagade fi dunu amo dawa: beba: le, se naba. Amo hou da na fi fidimu ganiaba, na da Godema gagabusu aligi amola Gelesu amoma afafae hame higala: loba.
For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,
4 Ilia da Gode Ea fi dunu esala. E da ili amo Ea mano hamone, Ea hadigi ili ba: ma: ne ilima olelei. E da ilima Ea gousa: su hou olelei amola ilima Sema i dagoi, Ilia da sia: ne gadosu houdafa dawa: Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu ilegele sia: i liligi huluane da ilima doaga: i dagoi.
the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.
5 Ilia da musa: Hibulu siba fi dunu bagade amo ilia mano esala. Yesu Gelesu da osobo bagade dunu ea da: i hodo lale, ilia fi amo ganodini lalelegei. Gode da liligi huluane amoma ouligisuwane esalebeba: le, Ema eso huluane nodonanumu da defea. Ama. (aiōn g165)
Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Gode Ea fi dunuma hahawane dogolegele imunu ilegele sia: i, - amo da yolesi dagoi na da hame sia: sa. Isala: ili dunu mogili da Gode Ea fi dunu, mogili da Gode Ea fi dunu hame.
It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
7 Amola A: ibalaha: me ea fi dunu mogili ilia da Gode Ea mano hame. Gode da A: ibalaha: mema amane sia: i, “Aisage ea mano lalelegesea, amo fawane da digaga manodafa fi Na da dima ilegele sia: i defele, esalumu.”
Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
8 Bai agoane diala. Mano da osobo bagade dunu ilia hou defele lalelegesea da Gode Ea mano hame. Be Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele ilegele sia: beba: le lalelegei mano, ilia fawane da Gode Egaga fidafa.
So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.
9 Gode da hahawane dogolegele iasu imunusa: amane ilegele sia: i, “Na eso ilegei amoga Na da bu masea, Sela da dunu mano lalelegemu.”
For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
10 Be amo fawane hame. Lebega ea dunu mano aduna da eda afadafa fawane esalu. Elea eda da ninia aowa Aisage esalu.
Not only that, but Rebecca’s children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.
Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,
12 Be Gode da Hi fawane Ea mano ilegesa amo olelema: ne, E da Lebegama amane olelei, “Magobo mano da fa: no lalelegei mano amoma hawa: hamosu dunu agoane ba: mu.” Ela da mae lalelegele, wadela: i mae hamone, hou ida: i mae hamone, Gode da hidadea amo olelebeba: le, dunu ilia hawa: hamobeba: le hame, be Ea hanaiba: le fawane ilegesa, amo olelei.
not by works but by Him who calls, she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
13 Amo defele Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Na Ya: igobema asigiba: le ilegei. Be Na da Iso hame hanaiba: le yolesi dagoi.
So it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 Amaiba: le Gode Ea hou da defele hame, moloi hame, amo ninia da sia: ma: bela: ? Hame mabu!
What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!
15 Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i, “Nowa dunuma Na da gogolema: ne olofomusa: dawa: sea, Na da ea hou gogolema: ne olofomu. Nowa dunuma Na asigimu dawa: sea, Na da ema asigimu.”
For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16 Amaiba: le, hou huluane bai da dunu ilia hanaiba: le o hawa: hamobeba: le hame, be bai da Gode Ea hanaiba: le gogolema: ne olofosu hou fawane ba: sa.
So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
17 Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Gode da Idibidi Ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i, ‘Na gasa olelema: ne amola osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane Na hou dawa: ma: ne, Na da di Idibidi ouligisu ilegei dagoi!’”
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
18 Amaiba: le, Gode da nowa dunuma olofosu imunusa: dawa: sea, E da amo dunuma olofosu iaha. Amola nowa dunu ea dogo E da igiwane hamomusa: dawa: sea, E da amo dunu ea dogo igiwane hamosa.
Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.
19 Be dunu afae da nama agoane adole ba: mu, “Gode da agoane hamoi dagoiba: le, e da abuliba: le osobo bagade dunuma fofada: sala: ? Gode Ea hanai hou afadenemu da ninima hamedei galebe.”
One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”
20 Be agoane sia: mu galea, na da bu adole imunu, “Na: iyado! Di da Godema bu gagabole sia: mu da hamedei. Ofodo amo da laga osoboga hamoi, da amo ofodo hahamosu dunuma bu gagabole amane sia: mu, “Dia da abuliba: le na agoane hamobela: ? amo sia: mu da hamedei!” na amane adole imunu.
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”
21 Ofodo hahamosu dunu, hi fawane da ea hanai defele osobo hamone, ofodo hisu hisu hamomu da defea. E da ofodo afadafa eso bagade lolo nabe eso agoane ganodini ha: i manu ligisimusa: hisu hamosa, eno da eso fonobahadi ganodini ha: i manu ligisimusa: hisu hamomu da defea.
Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?
22 Gode Ea hou hamoi da amo defele diala. E da wadela: i hou amoga Ea ougi hou amola Ea gasa bagade hou, amo olelemusa: dawa: i. Be E da dunu hobea Ea wadela: ma: ne fofada: su ba: mu dunu, ilima E da hedolo hame se dabe iasu i.
What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?
23 Eno amola E da Ea baligiliwane hadigi hou olelemusa: dawa: i. Amo hou E da nini (Ea gogolema: ne olofosu lai dagoi dunu, Ea hadigi lama: ne E da hahamoi) ninima Ea hadigi hou E da baligiliwane i dagoi.
What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—
24 Gode da Yu dunuma fawane hame wele sia: su, be Dienadaile dunu amola ilima wele sia: i dagoi. Ninia da amo fi diala.
including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?
25 Gode da Hosia meloa ganodini agoane sia: sa, “Musa: fi dunu amo da Na fi dunu hame Na sia: i. Be Na da hobea amo fi dunu da Na fi dunu sia: mu. Fi dunu da musa: Na da ilima hame asigi, amo fi dunuma Na da amane sia: mu, ‘Dilia da Na dogolegei fi!’
As He says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘My People’ who are not My people, and I will call her ‘My Beloved’ who is not My beloved,”
26 Amola sogebi amo ganodini Na da musa: ilima sia: i, ‘Dilia da Na fi dunu hame!’ amo sogebi ganodini Na da ilima amane sia: mu, ‘Dilia da Esalebe Gode Ea mano!’
and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
27 Gode Sia: eno da agoane dedei diala. Aisaia da Isala: ili dunu ilia hou olelemusa: amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili dunu ilia idi da sa: i amo hano bagade bega: diala, amo ea idi defele gala ba: sa ganiaba, bagahame fawane da Gode Ea gaga: su hou ba: mu.
Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
28 Bai Gode Ea wadela: ma: ne fofada: su da osobo bagadega hedolowane doaga: mu!”
For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively.”
29 Amola Aisaia da Isala: ili fi ilia hou dawa: beba: le, amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa da ninigaga fi ganodini afae afae hame fane legei ganiaba, ninia da Sodame moilai fi amola Goumola moilai fi, agoaiwane ba: la: loba.”
It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”
30 Amaiba: le, ninia agoane dawa: Dienadaile dunu da Gode ba: ma: ne, ilia hou afadenei moloidafa hamoi, amo ba: ma: ne logo hame hogoi. Be ilia Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, ilia afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi ba: i dagoi
What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
31 Be Gode Ea fidafa dunu da sema hamobeba: le, ilia da Gode da ili hahawane moloidafa hamoi dagoi dawa: i galu. Be amo logo hogoi helele, hame ba: i.
but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
32 Ilia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou mae dawa: le, be ilisu hawa: hamobe amo dawa: beba: le, logo hame ba: i. Amaiba: le fedege agoane, ilia igi amoga emo udagagubiba: le, dafai.
Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33 Amo igi ea hou olelema: ne, Gode Sia: da amane dedei diala, “Ba: ma! Na da dunu ilia emo udagaguli dafama: ne, Saione moilai amo ganodini igi ligisimu. Dunu da amo igiga dafamu. Be nowa dunu da Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: sea, amo da hamedafa gogosiamu.”
as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
