Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
NAI kin lokaia melel ren Krijtuj, o i jota kin likam, pwe injen ai o Nen jaraui kadede ia da,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
Me i kin patautau o injenjued nan monion i kaukaule.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Pwe pein nai inon ion en riala, pwen dooki wei jan Krijtuj pweki ri ai kan ni pali uduk.
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
lei men Ijrael me udan jeri en Ko t, me ar linan, o inau kan, o kapun, o upa Kot, o kokop akan mia,
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Me jamaneki jam atail akan me Krijtuj pil tapi jan ia ni pali uduk a, me poedi meakaroj, iei Kot me iajanai kokolata, amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of God has taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Pwe kaidin dene majan en Kot jo pwaida, pwe kaidin karoj men Ijrael, me tikidar Ijrael;
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called.
Pil kaidin karoj jeri kan, me kijan kadaudok en Apraam; pwe jan ren Ijaak kadaudok om pan tapi jan ia.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Ari, kaidin irail jeri en Kot akan, me jeri kan ni tiak en uduk, a jeri en inau kan pan wad on kadaudok o.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Pwe i majan, majan en inau eu: Ni anjau o I pan kodo, a Jara pan naitikada jeri ol amen.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
A kaidin i eta, pwe pil Repeka lao lijean on jam atail Ijaak.
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls; )
Pwe ni anjau jeri ko kaikenta ipwidier, o pil kaikenta wiadar meakot mau de me jued, o pwe kupur en Kot en pwaida, kaidin ni wiawia a ni lipilipil ren me piladar o,
12 It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
A kotin majani on i: Me laud o pan papa me tikitik!
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Duen a intinidier: lakop me I pok on er, a Ejau me I likidmalielar.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Ari, da me kitail en inda? Kot me japun? O jo!
15 For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Pwe a kotin majani on Mojej: I pan maki on, me I men maki on, o I pan pokepoke, me I men pokepoke.
16 So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
Ari, jota katepa, ma amen pan pein inon ion de tane wei, a ma Kot pan kotin maki on amen.
17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Pwe kijin likau me katitiki on Parao: Nan iet me I kilele uk adar, pwe I en kajale kida uk ai manaman, o pwe mar ai en indandeki jili ni jap akan karoj.
18 Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
Ari, a kin kotin maki on, me a kotin kupura, ap kapitakaila, duen me a kotin mauki.
19 You will say then to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?
Koe ap pan indan ia: Ari da me a kailon kin ia? Pwe ij me kak palian kupur a?
20 No but, O man, who are you that reply against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?
Ei melel aramaj koe, ij koe, me men palian Kot? Da, dipijou pan indai on me wiadar i: Menda koe wiai on ia momuei?
21 Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?
Pala jaun wiada dal jota manaman on, en wia kida lopon en pwel ota dal eu me kajelel, de eu me jakanekan?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
A Kot kotin kanonama on dal jued akan, me wiauier on lokidokila, ni a men kajaleda a onion o manaman,
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared to glory,
O a pil men kotin kajaleda a dir en linan ki dal en a mak kan, me a kotin kaonopadar maj o en linanla.
24 Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Iei kitail, me a kotin waron do, kaidin jan ren Juj akan eta, a pil jan ren men liki kan.
25 As he says also in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Duen a pil kotin majanier nan puk en Ojea: I pan kaadaneki irail, me kaidin nai, nai aramaj akan, o me jo kompoke pai, kompoke pai.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
A pan wiaui waja o me a loki on irail: Komail kaidin nai aramaj, i waja re pan adaneki jeri en Kot ieiaj.
27 Isaiah also cries concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
A Iejaia likelikwir duen men Ijrael: Ma jeri en Ijrael akan pan raj on pik en oror, lua ta pan maurela. iej.
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make on the earth.
Pwe a pan kotin kairela japwilim a dodok o kamode kila ni a pun, pwe Kaun o pan kotin wiada dok motomot nin jappa.
29 And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like to Gomorrha.
O duen Iejaia majanier maj o: Ma Kaun Jepaot jo nikideki on kitail kaparapar, kitail pan dueta Jodom o Komora.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
Ari, da me kitail en inda duen men liki kan me jota rapaki pun, re diaradar pun, a pun eu, me tapi jan pojon.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
A men Ijrael me inon ion kapwaiada kujoned en pun, ap jota konodi kujoned wet.
32 Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;
Pwekida? Pwekia jota tapi jan ni pojon a ni wiawia kan, pwe irail dipikelekeleki takai en dipikelekel.
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offense: and whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
Duen a intinidier: Kilan, I pajonedi takai eu nan Jion, takai en dipikelekel eu o paip en kamakar. A me pan pojon i, a jota pan jarodi.
