Rom 9
1 Krstosn arikoniye t keewiri, kooratse, S'ayn shayiron t nibonúwere tkorawok'o taash gawirwe.
I am telling you the truth as a Christian man--it is no falsehood, for my conscience enlightened, as it is, by the Holy Spirit adds its testimony to mine--
2 Een shiyanonat k'ut'eraw kic'on t nibotse fa'ee,
when I declare that I have deep grief and unceasing anguish of heart.
3 Meetson t jag wotts tjiruwotssha err taa Krstosatse k'aleyar Ik' c'asho tiyats b́bodink'e shunfee b́teshi.
For I could pray to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my human kinsfolk--for such the Israelites are.
4 Boye Israe'el ashuwotsiye, na'ok'o wotonat mangi wuliyo nemono b́imi, aron Ik'o bo ik'itywok'ono b́kitsi, b́ jangits keewo bíimi.
To them belongs recognition as God's sons, and they have His glorious Presence and the Covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the Temple service, and the ancient Promises.
5 Amants nihwotswere bokne, Krstos meetson b́wáá bo naarotsne, bíye jamoniyere dambe. Bíwere dúre dúrosh deeretso Izar Izeweriye. Amen! (aiōn g165)
To them the Patriarchs belong, and from them in respect of His human lineage came the Christ, who is exalted above all, God blessed throughout the Ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Wotowa eree Ik' aap'tso wonere etaliye, Israe'el naar jamwots ari Israe'el ashnaliye.
Not however that God's word has failed; for all who have sprung from Israel do not count as Israel,
7 Mank'o Abraham naar jamo Abraham nanaúwotsiye etaliye. Ik'o Abrahamsh «N naaro b́ keshetiye Yisak'ne» bíettsoshe,
nor because they are Abraham's true children. But the promise was "Through Isaac shall your posterity be reckoned."
8 Mansh meetson shuwetswots Ik' nanaúwotsiyaliye, ernmó naaro wotar taawetuwots Ik'o Abrahamsh b́jangitsok'on shuwetswots s'uziye.
In other words, it is not the children by natural descent who count as God's children, but the children made such by the promise are regarded as Abraham's posterity.
9 Hanuwere Ik'o b́jangits aap'otse «Hambets naton hank'o aawon weetuwe, Sara nungush na'o shuwitwane» etke b́teshi.
For the words are the language of promise and run thus, "About this time next year I will come, and Sarah shall have a son."
10 Man mec'ro b́ woterawo Rbk'aa naruwotssh niho wottsosh Yisak'sh nungush nana'a maatúwotsi b maac'ro,
Nor is that all: later on there was Rebecca too. She was soon to bear two children to her husband, our forefather Isaac--
11 Ik'i marat' marat'o finon b́woterawo b́s'eegon b́woto kitsosh git nan'úwots boshuwewonat gondonowere sheengonowere bok'aloniyere shino
and even then, though they were not then born and had not done anything either good or evil, yet in order that God's electing purpose might not be frustrated, based, as it was, not on their actions but on the will of Him who called them, she was told,
12 Ik'o Rbk'ash «Eenfo múk'efosh keewek wotituwe» bí eti.
"The elder of them will be bondservant to the younger."
13 Manúwere «Yak'obi shunre Esawunmó shit're» ett guut'etsok'one.
This agrees with the other Scripture which says, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."
14 Eshe eege noeteti? Ik'o boga bogshirwe eronowa? B́jamon mank'o woteratse!
What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God?
15 Ik'oniye Musesh «Bísh doosh tgeyruwosh doowituwe, bísh maac' k'ewo tgeyiruwoshowere maac'o k'ewituwe» etre.
No, indeed; the solution is found in His words to Moses, "Wherever I show mercy it shall be nothing but mercy, and wherever I show compassion it shall be simply compassion."
16 Eshe Ik'i marat'o b́daatset ash shunonat ash finon b́woterawo Ik' dowon b́wottsatsne.
And from this we learn that everything is dependent not on man's will or endeavour, but upon God who has mercy. For the Scripture said to Pharaoh,
17 Manatse tuutson S'ayin mas'aafotse Gbs' nugúsosh «Neen tiango kitsr tshútsonowere dats jamatse b́daneetuwok'o woshosh neen naashiyire» ett aap'etso guut'ere.
"It is for this very purpose that I have lifted you so high--that I may make manifest in you My power, and that My name may be proclaimed far and wide in all the earth."
18 Mansh eshe Ik'o b́shuntsosh maac'o k'ewefe, b́shuntsonowere k'el kúp'etso woshituwe.
This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart.
19 Eshe «Ik'i shunts keewo k'efosh konuwor falratse, béré bí ashuwots bo shuntso bo fintsosh eegishe boon b́ b́s'aamiyiri» err taan aato falfete.
"Why then does God still find fault?" you will ask; "for who is resisting His will?"
20 Nee ashono! Ik'onton mooshosh eegoneya nfali? Shalon dozets k'ac'o bín dooztsosh «Eegishe hank'o kaldek'at taan ndoozi?» etosh falituwa?
Nay, but who are you, a mere man, that you should cavil against GOD? Shall the thing moulded say to him who moulded it, "Why have you made me thus?"
21 Eshe shal wozirwo iknaari shali tok'ootse k'ac iko mangosh, k'oshonowere ketts finosh woshde wozosh alo deshatsá?
Or has not the potter rightful power over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for more honourable and another for less honourable uses?
22 Ik'o b́fayo kitsosho bíangonowere bek'shosh geeyat t'afiyosh k'antsuwotsi fayi k'ac'uwotsi ayoto k'amare wotiyal eendani?
And what if God, while choosing to make manifest the terrors of His anger and to show what is possible with Him, has yet borne with long-forbearing patience with the subjects of His anger who stand ready for destruction,
23 Han b́ k'aluwere shin mangosh b́k'anitso sheeng b́woto dek'ets k'ac'uwotssh b́mangi ayo kitsoshe.
in order to make known His infinite goodness towards the subjects of His mercy whom He has prepared beforehand for glory,
24 Sheeng b́ woto dek'ets k'ac'uwotsnmó ayhudiwots mec'rotse b́woterawon Ik'i ash woterawwotsitsnowere noon s'eegree.
even towards us whom He has called not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles?
25 Hanwere nebiyiyo Hose'n hank'o eteetsok'one, «Tiash teyawuwotsne ‹Tiashuwotsi› err s'eegetuwe, Shuneerawu ashuwotsnowere ‹Shuneeka› err s'eegetuwe,
So also in Hosea He says, "I will call that nation My People which was not My People, and I will call her beloved who was not beloved.
26 Itiye ‹Tiashuwots itnaaliye› eteets beyokoke ‹Beyat beets Ik'o nanaúwotsi› err boon s'eegetuwe.»
And in the place where it was said to them, 'No people of Mine are you,' there shall they be called sons of the everliving God."
27 Isayasuwere Israe'el jangosh hank'o eton b́ k'ááro eenshdek'tine b́keewi, «Isra'el nanaúwots taawo aats k'aritsi shiyok'o dab bíayiyaloru boyitse kashituwots múk'nee.
And Isaiah cries aloud concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sands of the sea, only a remnant of them shall be saved;
28 Doonzo b́ ja'arawo kááronat s'eenon bí angsho imetwe.»
for the Lord will hold a reckoning upon the earth, making it efficacious and brief."
29 Mank'owere Isayas «Dari jirwotssh doonzo shooko noosh oriyo b́k'azink'ere Sedom kituk'o wotiyank'one b́teshi Gemor kitukok'o wotiyank'one b́teshi» ett shin shin keewure.
Even as Isaiah says in an earlier place, "Were it not that the Lord, the God of Hosts, had left us some few descendants, we should have become like Sodom, and have come to resemble Gomorrah."
30 Eshe eege no keewiti? Kááwi weero sha'erawu Ik'i ash woterawwots kááw woto bodaatsi, kááwo wotonwere amanar daatsetuwoniye.
To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it--a righteousness, however, which arises from faith;
31 Ernmó kááw woto daatsit nemo shuuts sha'at teshts Isra'elots, nemo s'eentsosh bomawutsotse kááwok boratsne.
while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.
32 «Eegoshe kááwok bodobok'azi?» eteyala bo kááw wottso daatsosh boge amanon b́woterawon finon b́wottsotsne, manshe t'ugwotsn bo k'is'eyi.
And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way;
33 Manuwere «Hambe! ashuwotsi k'is'iru shútso S'iyonits beezree, Shútsanuwere ashuwotsi k'ic'de'er dikitu s'aloniye, Bín amanituwonmó jiitsratse» ett guut'etsok'one.
in agreement with the statement of Scripture, "See, I am placing on Mount Zion a stone for people to stumble at, and a rock for them to trip over, and yet he whose faith rests upon it shall never have reason to feel ashamed."
