Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
Ngo jvjvbv mindung dunv; ngo kristo gvngv okv ngo mvvma dunv. Ngo mvngnam sum, Darwknv Dow lokv rigv namv, vbvka ngo jvjv rungdu vla mintamjidu
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
vdwlo ngo mindu ngoogv mvngruv vdwgo kaidu, vdwgo ngoogv achiv haapok lokv nyeka madu vdu
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
holvgabv ngoogv nyiv, ngoogv awgv adwnv okv oyiv! Holvgabv ngo atuv bunu lvgabv Pwknvyarnnv gv beenam lo okv Kristo gv lokv apin sito kunvpv vla mvngdu.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
Bunu vdwv Pwknvyarnv gv nyi ngv; Hv bunua ninyigv umvuu bv mvtoku okv turnam loung am bunu gvlo kaatam jito; Hv ninyigv umkvpakvvnam am bunugv lvkobv mvtoku okv Pvbv nga bunua jitoku; Bunu vdwv jvjvrungbv kumnya jiduku; bunu vdwv Pwknvyarnv gv milvpvvnam laarwk sinyatoku;
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.
Bunu vdwv Hebrew abuapa yunam lokv ali linvgo; okv kristo, nyia nyidung akobv bunugv lokv lindu. Pwknvyarnv ngv, mvnwng nga rigvdogvnv, hartv tvbv la riyilaka vdunv! Amen. (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.
Ngo Pwknvyarnv gv milvpvvnam v dooku makv vla mima dunv; holvgabv Israel gv nyi mvnwng ngv Pwknvyarnv gv nyi mvngchikbv rimadunv.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Vmajvka Abraham gv singsit lokv linv mvnwng vka Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv rimwng madunv. Pwknvyarnv Abrahamnyi mintoku, “Ngo nam milvpvvdu kunv Isaak gv lokv noogv husiv twngtv bv doosiksilin reku.”
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.
Soogv vbv minam umvuu bvngnam dvdv ngv bvngdinnv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv ridunv vnam kaama; vbvmayabv, Pwknvyarnv gv milvpvvnam lokv umvuu bvngnam dvdvlo jvjvbv singsit doosiksinam am mindu.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
Holvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv milvpvvnamv oogv vkvnv gamchargo mimpv jito; “oogv aluching lo ngo aakur rekunyi, okv sara umvuu go dooreku vto.”
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
Okv si tikma, holvgavbolo Rebika gv kuunyilo anyi vka abu akinnv, Isaak ngonugv abuapa ngv.
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,
Vbvritola oogv vbv minam lokv akonv vv Pwknvyarnv gv atubogv mvngnam lokv gaklin kunamv, Pwknvyarnv ninyia minto, “bvngcho yanam angv vv boru yanga rijivngji yanv gobv rire.” Pwknvyarnv bunua bvngtv madv bv sum mincho jitoku, bunu oguguka alvnvnga alvmanv nga rima dubv; vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv so gaknamv ninyigv goknam lokv rito, okv bunugv oguguka rinamdoonam lokvma.
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Darwknv kitap v vbv minto, “ngo Jakopnyi pakdunv, vbvritola Isaunyi pakma dunv.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
Vbvrikubolo ngonu minladunv, vv Pwknvyarnv jwngkadaka madu nvgoi? Ma vbvdv ma.
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.”
Vkvlvgabv hv Mosesnyi minto, “ngo yvvnyi mvngdudw um ngo aya dunv; ngo yvvnyi mvngdudw um ngo pakdunv.”
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Vkvlvgabv vbvrikubolo, ogumvnwng mvnging nama, ngonu nyia mvngdung okv ridung lokv ogudw um rimadu, vbvritola Pwknvyarnv gv aya mvngchik lokv ridunv.
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.”
Holvgabv Darwknv kitap v Ejipt gv dvbv nga mindu, “ngo nam ngoogv jwkrwa kaatamla rinvvngnv dubv dvbv gobv mvpvnv okv ngoogv kai am nyiamooku mvnwng lo chinsik karmu dubv vla.”
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Holvgabv vbvrikubolo, Pwknvyarnv gv ninyigv aya nga yvvnyi mvngka dudw um jiso mvngnam am hv jidu okv hv ninyigv mvnggwnglo yvvnyika akortor dubv mvso mvngbolo mvladu.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
Vbvritola nonuno akin gonv ngam vbv minre, “si vbvridubolo, oguaingbv Pwknvyarnv nyigonv gv rimur am mapa ridw? Yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gv mvnglwk ka mvtor nyola redw?”
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?”
Vbvritola ngoogv ajin vdw, nonu yvvla, Pwknvyarnvnyi mingkurla mirwk sila jinv ngv? Pvchwng ngv mvnv atu am “no nga ogubv svbv mvpvnvri vla tvka sudunvri?”
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?
Ogubvrijvka, yvvdw Pvching mvnv ngv vv atugv mvnggwng bv ogubv mvnvrinv nwngdudw vbvching mvnvrinvre, okv takam kvdw nuunum akin lokv pvchwng anyi mvnam um, akonyi apum pamrinyi okv akonyi kvvbi adung lo mvnvrinv mindu.
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,
Okv Pwknvyarnv gv ogugo ripvdw vv jvjvbv vsukaring sibv rito. Hv ninyigv haachi nama kaatam nwngtoku. Okv ninyigv jwkrwa chimu toku. Vbvritola hv achialvbv saktvto yvvdw ninyigv haachi nama hiru rugvdudw, oogv sitvyaatv lakula sigvngoogv tvvdu kunv ngv.
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
Okv hv ninyigv nyitv kairungnv hartvbamtv aka achialvbv kaatam vngroku, oogv ninyigv aya nga paamu dubv vla ngonugv aolo pwlwk kunam vkvnvgo, yvvdw ngonu vdwgvlo hv ninyigv yunglit nama laarwk sidubv mvpvripv dukunv.
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
Holvgabv ngonuka goknam nyi bv ridukunv, Jius vdwgv pingko lokv gokmwng mvngchik ma vbvritola Jentail vdwgv pingko loka gokdu.
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.”
So si ogubv hv mindudw Hosea kitap lo doodu. “Yvvdw ngoogv nyi bv rima dunv ‘ngoogv nyi’ bv gokreku. Ngoogv pakma nam diringmooku vdwa, ‘ngo pakya yarungnam gobv gokreku.’
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.’”
Okv achialv bv mooku lo ogolo bunu mimpv kudw, ‘nonu ngoogv nyi makv vla.’ Hoka bunu vdwv turnv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu ngv vla mireku.”
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;
Okv Aijaya ka Israel vdwgv lvkwnglo gokpa jito: “Israel gv nyi vdwv svmasa gv chokri gv aingbv rijeka, vbvrikwng kujvka miang chaigo ringlin komwng rinvpv;
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
Um lvgabv Ahtu nyiamookua ninyigv sabsvbusv ngam baapu alvbv kaadartabia reku.”
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.”
Sum Aijaya gvlo kvvlo vbvching minto, “Ahtu kainv, singsitnv kvvgonyi ngonua apak jimabolo, ngonu sodom aingbv ripvkunvpv, ngonu Gomora aingbv ripvkunvpv.”
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;
Vkvlvgabv ngonu Jentail vdwgv lvkwnglo mindu, oogv yvvdw bunu atubongv Pwknvyarnv gvlo tarwkbak bv doodubv gwngma dudw, ninyigvlo tarwkbak bv mvngjwng lokv doomudakmudu;
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at the law of righteousness.
Pwknvyarnv gv nyi ridula, oogv Pvbv ngam mala tarwkbak bv bunugv Pwknvyarnv gvlo doodubv vla rinv vdwv, vv paamatuku.
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,
Okv vv ogulvgabv paamadunv? Vkvlvgavbolo bunu mvngjwng nama mvnging mabv rito vbvritola bunu ogugo ridudw um mvnging mvngto. Okv vkvlvgabv bunu “vlwng dwktup” kolo dwktupla rito.
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.”
Oogv Darwknv gv kitap lo minto: “Kaatoka, ngo Jayon lo vlwng pvgo vvpvdunv vv nyi vdwa dwktup more, vlwng pvngv vv bunua gimup more. Vbvritola yvvdw ninyia mvngjwng dunv um sanga momare.”
