Romans 9
1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
Milaza ny marina ao amin’ i Kristy aho, fa tsy mandainga, sady miara-milaza amiko ao amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna koa ny fieritreretako,
2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
fa mafy ny alaheloko, ka tsy mety mitsahatra ny fahorian’ ny foko.
3 For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
Fa efa saiky niriko aza ho voaozona ho afaka tamin’ i Kristy ny tenako mba hahavonjeko ny rahalahiko, havako araka ny nofo,
4 Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.
izay Isiraelita sady manana ny fananganan’ anaka sy ny voninahitra sy ny fanekena sy ny fanomezana ny lalàna sy ny fombam-pivavahana ary ny teny fikasana;
5 Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
azy koa ny razana, sady avy taminy araka ny nofo Kristy, Izay ambonin’ izy rehetra, Andriamanitra isaorana mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōn g165)
6 Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:
Kanefa tsy lazaiko fa foana ny tenin’ Andriamanitra tsy akory. Fa tsy izay rehetra avy amin’ ny Isiraely no Isiraely.
7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
Ary na dia taranak’ i Abrahama aza ireo, tsy dia ary zanany avokoa; fa avy amin’ isaka no hantsoina izay taranaka ho anao.
8 That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede.
Izany hoe: Tsy ny zanaky ny nofo no zanak’ Andriamanitra; fa ny zanaky ny teny fikasana no isaina ho taranaka.
9 For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
Fa izao no filàzan’ ny teny fikasana: Raha avy ny taona toy izao, dia ho avy Aho, ary hanana zazalahy Saraha.
10 Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
Ary tsy izany ihany, fa Rebeka koa dia nanan’ anaka tamin’ ny anankiray, dia tamin’ isaka razantsika;
11 For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth)
fa raha tsy mbola teraka ireo, ary tsy mbola nanao tsara na ratsy (mba hitoeran’ ny fikasan’ Andriamanitra araka ny fifidianana, tsy avy amin’ ny asa, fa avy amin’ izay miantso),
12 It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.
dia nolazaina tamin-dravehivavy hoe: Ny zokiny hanompo ny zandriny;
13 As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.
araka ny voasoratra hoe: Jakoba no tiako, fa Esao no halako.
14 What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
Ahoana ary no holazaintsika? Misy tsi-fahamarinana va amin’ Andriamanitra? Sanatria izany!
15 For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion.
Fa hoy Izy tamin’ i Mosesy: Izaho hiantra izay hiantrako, ary hamindra fo amin’ izay hamindrako fo.
16 So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.
Koa dia tsy avy amin’ izay maniry na amin’ izay mihazakazaka izany, fa avy amin’ Andriamanitra Izay miantra.
17 For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth.
Fa hoy ny Soratra Masìna tamin’ i Farao: Izany no nanandratako anao, mba ho entiko mampiseho ny heriko, ary mba hanambarana ny anarako any amin’ ny tany rehetra.
18 Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
Koa izay tiany hamindrana fo no amindrany fo, ary izay tiany hohamafìna fo no hamafiny fo.
19 Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will?
Hianao ary dia hanao amiko hoe: Koa nahoana Izy no manome tsiny ihany? Fa iza no manohitra ny sitrapony?
20 But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Tsia, ralehilahy, fa iza moa ianao, no mamaly an’ Andriamanitra? Izay zavatra noforonina va hanao amin’ izay namorona azy hoe: Nahoana Hianao no nanao ahy toy izao?
21 Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour?
Ny mpanefy vilany va tsy manam-pahefana amin’ ny tanimanga, ka ny vongany iray ihany no anaovany zavatra samy hafa, ny iray hohajaina, ary ny iray hatao tsinontsinona?
22 What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction?
Sa ahoana kosa raha Andriamanitra, na dia ta-haneho ny fahatezerany sy hampahafantatra ny heriny aza, dia be fahari-po ka nandefitra tamin’ izay fanaky ny fahatezerana voavoatra hosimbana,
23 And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?
mba hampahafantarina koa ny haren’ ny voninahiny amin’ izay fanaky ny famindram-po, izay namboariny rahateo hahazo voninahitra,
24 Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,
dia isika izay nantsoiny koa, tsy ny avy amin’ ny Jiosy ihany, fa ny avy amin’ ny jentilisa koa,
25 As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued.
araka izay lazainy eo amin’ i Hosea hoe: Hiantso ny tsy oloko hoe oloko Aho; Ary ilay tsy malala hoe malala;
26 And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God.
Ary any amin’ ny tany izay nilazana taminy hoe: Tsy oloko ianareo, Dia any no hiantsoana azy hoe zanak’ Andriamanitra velona.
27 Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued.
Ary Isaia milaza ny amin’ ny Isiraely hoe: Na dia toy ny fasika any amin’ ny ranomasina aza ny isan’ ny Zanak’ isiraely, dia izay sisa ihany no hovonjena;
28 For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
fa amin’ ny fahatanterahana faingana no hanefan’ i Jehovah ny teniny ambonin’ ny tany;
29 And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha.
ary araka izay nolazain’ Isaia fahiny hoe: Raha tsy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no namela taranaka ho antsika, Dia efa tonga tahaka an’ i Sodoma sy tonga tahaka an’ i Gomora isika.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.
Ahoana ary no holazaintsika? Ny jentilisa, izay tsy nitady fahamarinana, no nahazo fahamarinana, nefa fahamarinana izay avy amin’ ny finoana?
31 But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.
fa ny Isiraely, izay nitady lalàn’ ny fahamarinana kosa, dia tsy nahatratra izany lalàna izany.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone,
Nahoana moa? Satria tsy tamin’ ny finoana, fa toa tamin’ ny asa, ka tafintohina tamin’ ny vato mahatafintohina izy;
33 As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
araka ny voasoratra hoe: Indro Aho mametraka vato mahatafintohina sy vatolampy mahasolafaka ao Ziona; Ary izay mino Azy tsy ho menatra.
