Romans 9
1 I am speaking the truth in Christ; I am not lying. My conscience offers testimony to me in the Holy Spirit,
Ani Kiristoosiin dhugaa nan dubbadha; ani hin sobu; yaadni koos Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan naa mirkaneessa;
2 because the sadness within me is great, and there is a continuous sorrow in my heart.
ani gadda guddaa fi dhiphina wal irraa hin cinne garaa koo keessaa qaba.
3 For I was desiring that I myself might be anathemized from Christ, for the sake of my brothers, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh.
Ani iyyuu obboloota koo warra akka fooniitti sanyii koo taʼaniif jedhee utuun Kiristoos irraa gargar baʼee abaaramee nan hawwa tureetii;
4 These are the Israelites, to whom belongs adoption as sons, and the glory and the testament, and the giving and following of the law, and the promises.
isaan saba Israaʼel. Ilmummaan, ulfinni, kakuun, seera fudhachuun, tajaajiluu fi waadaan kan isaanii ti.
5 Theirs are the fathers, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all things, blessed God, for all eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Abbootiin kan isaanii ti; Kiristoosis isaan irraa fooniin dhalate; inni waan hunda irratti Waaqa; inni bara baraan haa eebbifamu! Ameen. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not that the Word of God has perished. For not all those who are Israelites are of Israel.
Kun garuu dubbiin Waaqaa diigameera jechuu miti. Kan Israaʼel irraa dhalate hundi Israaʼel miti.
7 And not all sons are the offspring of Abraham: “For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.”
Yookaan isaan sababii sanyii Abrahaam taʼaniif hundi isaanii ijoollee isaa miti. Garuu, “Sanyiin kee Yisihaaqiin siif waamama” jedhameera.
8 In other words, those who are the sons of God are not those who are sons of the flesh, but those who are sons of the Promise; these are considered to be the offspring.
Kana jechuunis ijoollee waadaatu sanyiitti lakkaaʼama malee ijoolleen foon irraa dhalatan ijoollee Waaqaa miti.
9 For the word of promise is this: “I will return at the proper time. And there shall be a son for Sarah.”
Dubbiin waadaa sunis kan, “Ani yeroo murteeffametti deebiʼee nan dhufa; Saaraanis ilma ni deessi” jedhu tureetii.
10 And she was not alone. For Rebecca also, having conceived by Isaac our father, from one act,
Kana qofa miti; Ribqaan yeroo namuma tokkoof, abbaa keenya Yisihaaqiif ulfooftetti,
11 when the children had not yet been born, and had not yet done anything good or bad (such that the purpose of God might be based on their choice),
ijoolleen sun utuu hin dhalatin yookaan utuu waan gaarii yookaan waan hamaa hin hojjetin akka kaayyoon filannoo Waaqaa raawwatamuuf,
12 and not because of deeds, but because of a calling, it was said to her: “The elder shall serve the younger.”
utuu hojiin hin taʼin isa waamicha Waaqaatiin, “Inni hangafni isa quxisuu tajaajila” jedhamee isheetti himame.
13 So also it was written: “I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.”
Kunis akkuma, “Yaaqoobin nan jaalladhe; Esaawun garuu nan jibbe” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
14 What should we say next? Is there unfairness with God? Let it not be so!
Egaa maal jenna ree? Waaqni jalʼaadhaa? Gonkumaa akkas miti!
15 For to Moses he says: “I will pity whomever I pity. And I will offer mercy to whomever I will pity.”
Inni Museedhaan, “Ani kanan maaru nan maara; kanan garaa laafuufiis garaa nan laafa” jedhaatii.
16 Therefore, it is not based on those who choose, nor on those who excel, but on God who takes pity.
Kanaafuu wanti kun araara Waaqaatiin malee hawwii yookaan carraaqqii namaatiin miti.
17 For Scripture says to the Pharaoh: “I have raised you up for this purpose, so that I may reveal my power by you, and so that my name may be announced to all the earth.”
Katabbiin qulqulluun Faraʼooniin, “Ani humna koo sirratti argisiisuuf, maqaan koos akka lafa hunda irratti labsamuuf kaayyoo kanaaf si kaaseera” jedhaatii.
18 Therefore, he takes pity on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.
Kanaaf Waaqni kan maaruu barbaadu ni maara; kan mata jabeessa gochuu barbaadu immoo mata jabeessa godha.
19 And so, you would say to me: “Then why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?”
Isinis, “Yoos Waaqni maaliif amma iyyuu dogoggora nurra barbaada? Fedhii isaas eenyutu mormuu dandaʼa?” naan jettu.
20 O man, who are you to question God? How can the thing that has been formed say to the One who formed him: “Why have you made me this way?”
Garuu yaa namichoo, Waaqaan mormuuf ati eenyu? “Wanti tolfame tokko kan isa tolcheen, ‘Ati maaliif akkanatti na tolchite?’” jedhaa?
21 And does not the potter have the authority over the clay to make, from the same material, indeed, one vessel unto honor, yet truly another unto disgrace?
Suphee dhooftuun tokko dhoqqee suphee kan bukaaʼe irraa qodaa ulfinaa fi salphinaaf oolu tolchuuf mirga hin qabuu?
22 What if God, wanting to reveal his wrath and to make his power known, endured, with much patience, vessels deserving wrath, fit to be destroyed,
Waaqni dheekkamsa isaa argisiisuu fi humna isaas beeksisuuf jedhee yoo miʼa dheekkamsaa kanneen badiisaaf qopheeffaman obsa guddaan bira darbe hoo?
23 so that he might reveal the wealth of his glory, within these vessels of mercy, which he has prepared unto glory?
Inni badhaadhummaa ulfina isaa yoo miʼa araara isaa kanneen duraan dursee ulfinaaf qopheessetti beeksisuuf jedhee waan kana godhe hoo?
24 And so it is with those of us whom he has also called, not only from among the Jews, but even from among the Gentiles,
Nus warra waamaman keessaa tokkoo dha; inni Yihuudoota qofa keessaa utuu hin taʼin Namoota Ormaa keessaas waameera.
25 just as he says in Hosea: “I will call those who were not my people, ‘my people,’ and she who was not beloved, ‘beloved,’ and she who had not obtained mercy, ‘one who has obtained mercy.’
Inni kitaaba Hooseʼaa keessatti akkana jedha: “Ani warra saba koo hin taʼiniin, ‘saba koo’ nan jedha; ishee jaallatamtuu hin taʼiniin immoo, ‘jaallatamtuu’ nan jedha.”
26 And this shall be: in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they shall be called the sons of the living God.”
Akkasumas isaan, “Iddoodhuma itti, ‘Isin saba koo miti’ isaaniin jedhame sanatti, ‘ilmaan Waaqa jiraataa’ jedhamanii ni waamamu.”
27 And Isaiah cried out on behalf of Israel: “When the number of the sons of Israel is like the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
Isaayyaas akkana jedhee waaʼee Israaʼel iyya: “Baayʼinni ilmaan Israaʼel yoo akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa taʼe iyyuu, hambaa qofatu fayya.
28 For he shall complete his word, while abbreviating it out of equity. For the Lord shall accomplish a brief word upon the earth.”
Gooftaan utuu hin turin, yeroo dhumaatiif lafa irratti ni muraatii.”
29 And it is just as Isaiah predicted: “Unless the Lord of hosts had bequeathed offspring, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made similar to Gomorrah.”
Kunis akkuma Isaayyaas duraan dursee akkana jedhee dubbatee dha: “Utuu Gooftaan Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, sanyii nuuf hambisuu baatee, nu silaa akkuma Sodoom taanee, Gomoraas fakkaanna turre.”
30 What should we say next? That the Gentiles who did not follow justice have attained justice, even the justice that is of faith.
Egaa maal jenna ree? Namoonni Ormaa kan qajeelummaa duukaa hin buʼin qajeelummaa karaa amantiitiin taʼe argataniiru.
31 Yet truly, Israel, though following the law of justice, has not arrived at the law of justice.
Israaʼeloonni seera qajeelummaa duukaa buʼan garuu qajeelummaa hin arganne.
32 Why is this? Because they did not seek it from faith, but as if it were from works. For they stumbled over a stumbling block,
Maaliif dhaban? Kunis sababii isaan utuu karaa amantiitiin hin taʼin hojiidhaan qajeelummaa argachuu barbaadaniif; isaanis dhagaa nama gufachiisuun gufatan.
33 just as it was written: “Behold, I am placing a stumbling block in Zion, and a rock of scandal. But whoever believes in him shall not be confounded.”
Kunis akkuma, “Kunoo, ani dhagaa nama gufachiisu, kattaa nama kuffisu Xiyoon keessa nan kaaʼa; namni isatti amanu gonkumaa hin qaanaʼu” jedhamee barreeffame sanaa dha.
