Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
Ma tok bilenke mor Kiritti. Ma cwerbo cwerke, dume ner miro ne warke dor miir mor yuwa tangbe ko wucakke,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
La man wiki fir nerero dur kange buwarum ne wo man ki dika mor nere mi.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
Man cwi na ci cilim ye ri ri naci tikangum ye kange Almaciya ker keb mib bo bwiyeu buro nyi ceru bitine wiineu.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
Cii Icrailawa, ciin wi ki yilaka bi bei Kwamak, duktangka, nor tini, luma nere bolangek, wabka Kwamak, kange diker co ciya con macineneu.
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed for the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
Tenkwanibbo na ce wo Kiritti ceru wi ki te bwi yeu- Co wo cin Kwama dor dikero gwameu. Cak lanka nace diri. A ti nyo. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
Dila kebo ki nor Kwama ro dii be. Kebo nubo gwam mor Icraila wo nii Icraila bilenke.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Kaka naniya Ibraime ko gwam bibeiyo loce ken. Dila “Na niya mweko a cuwo Icaku nen”
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
Bi beiyo tebwiye kebo bi bei Kwamab. Dila be bei nore bo cii ci tuu cii ti bi bei naniya ke.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
Wo co noro: “ki kwama wo bilang matin bou, Caratu an bō bwe.”
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
Kebo ka wo, Rifkatu tū fwer kange nii kange wiin, tee be Icaku-
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
la cii bō bo bi beiyo bwiri takeu cii mabo dikero ken kaka dikero bwir, na cwika Kwama ko ki cokka ceko atin dim, kebo ker nangen tini dila ker ker cer wo cuwo bi cuworeu.
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
Cin yi co ki “Durko atin yila canga bi duwareu.”
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Kin na wo cii mulangeu: “Yakubu ma cwi ye, la Icuwa ma kowe.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
Ye ba tok tiye? bwini cak-cake wi Kwama nina? Mani nyo.
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
Con yi Muca coki,”Man nung cii duwe ki nii wo ma nung ten cii duwe tiye, ta keu man nung bwinang ka ki nii wo ma nung ten bunang ka tiye.”
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
La kebo cwii ka niik kaka ker nii wo cwa cwake, dila ker Kwama, wo nung cii duwe.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
La bifumero yi Fir'auna, “Wo co diker bwi ma kung neneu, nyori nami nung bi Kwan liyare miu monen, tak ri na dor bitinero gwam nuwa den miro.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
La Kwama nung cii duwe dor nii co cwi ye, tak ri ciki dok bongtu ki nubo co cwiye.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
Mon yiye moki,” Ye bwi cito bwirake ti duwale? We ma kwobkanka wi kange dike co cwi tiye?”
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
Nii fir, we mo mwa kwobkang ti kange Kwama? Dike ci mu-muweu atin yi nii wo muu ceu,”Ye bwi mwa muuye nya?”
21 Or has not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
La nii muu kubar tiyeu man ki bi kwan liyare dor kubaro ci lūweu naci muu tilar wo nangendo ken nece kange tilar nangener kangkang lo ki kubaro cuwo wiin ci lūwe ka?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
Nye no Kwama, wo cwiti naci nung funer cer tak ri naci nung bikwan liyare ceu, mwirumom ki biirom nere ducce dukum funero cii yo na twalangka ko ce ri?
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
La nye, noci ma wuro nyo naci nung cuweka duktangka cek dor nubo co nungten ciire duwe, wo ki ƙaba ci ywel bwice duktangka?
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
La ta keno ci mam dike wuro ki bo ken, wo co cuwo takeu, kebo ka Yahudawa ki kwaci, dila more nubo kumta cile ken?
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
Kambo co toki tak mor Hosea: “Ma tin cuwo cii nubo lo mii, buro kebo nubo lo miyeu, kange nii co wo no kebo wo ma cwiyeu matin cuwo co nawiye ma cwitiye.
26 “It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”
La an yilam, fiye ci yicii ki, “kom kebo nubo lo mi, 'wi ci a cuwo cii ki 'bi bei Kwama ki dume.'”
27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
Icaya kung diir ker Icraila, “Bwenno kila ka bi bei Icraila kino na yabum mor caji duwaleu, Cwab ce a fiya fulo tiye,
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
Wori Teeluwe atin ma warke dor bitiner, gwam mani a tab bwi ti.”
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
Nawo Icaya toki ki kabau, “Na no Teeluwe nob kwene dob nyi nen bo naniyatini ri, nyoki yilam na Caduma, takeu nyoki yilam na Gwamrata.”
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
Ye ba tokti kake? Ri nubo kumtaciliu, buro no tibo doka cak-cakeu, fiyam cak-cake, cak-cake fiye bilenke.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at the law of righteousness.
Dila Icrailawa, buro ti doka werfun cak-cakeu, cii fiya bo.
32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
Ye bwiye? Wori cii dobo ki bilenke, dila ki nangentini. Ciin kottangi ki ter kottangkar.
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
Na wo mulangum mulangeu, To, ma yo ter kottangkati kange cwela ko dok ȳare tiye Cihiyona. Nii wo ne bilenke dorcere ri, mania nuwa kwen duwe ti.
