Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, (pneuma)
Taani Kiristtoosan tuma odays, worddotikke. Geeshsha Ayyaanay kaalethiya ta kahay taani worddotonnayssa taw markkattees.
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
Ta wozanan Isra7eeletas daro qadhettaysinne qamma gallas qoppays.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Taani, ta ishata gisho, Kiristtoosappe shaakettada Xoossaa qanggethafe garssan de7idaakko dosaysishin.
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;
Entti Isra7eeleta, Xoossay entta ba nayta oothis, ba bonchchuwa enttaw qonccisis. Enttara caaqqis; higgiya enttaw immis. Entti Xoossaa goynnana tuma ogiya bessis; Xoossay ufayssa qaala enttaw immis.
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)
Entti yeletethan mayzata zare; qassi Kiristtoosi ashon entta zare gididi yis. Ubbaafe bolla gidida Xoossay merinaw galatetto. Amin7i! (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word (logos) of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Gidoshin, Xoossay gelida qaalay polettonna attis guussu gidenna. Isra7eele asa ubbay Xoossaa asi gidokkona.
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called.
Qassi Abrahaame zare ubbay Abrahaame nayta gidokkona. Xoossay Abrahames, “Ne zerethay Yisaaqa baggara xeegettana” yaagis.
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.
Hessa guussay ashon yelettida nayti ubbay Xoossaa nayta gidokkona. Shin tuma Isra7eele nayti Xoossay Abrahames gelida qaalada yelettida nayta.
9 For this is the word (logos) of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Xoossay immana gidi gelida qaalay, “Taani wontto laythi hannoode yaana; Saarakka adde na7a yelana” yaageyssa.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Hessa xalaala gidonnashin, Irbbiqinne Yisaaqi yelida mentte adde naytabaa akeekite.
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; )
Entti yelettanaappe woykko iita woykko lo77o oothanaappe sinthe Xoossaa dooroy ooson gidonnashin xeessan gideyssa qonccisanaw,
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
“Bayray kaaluwas kiitettana” yaagidi Goday Irbbiqas odis.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Hessika Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Yayqooba dosas, Eesawe ixxas” geetettidi xaafettis.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Yaatin, nuuni woyganee? Xoossay ase asappe shaakkiyye? Gidenna.
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.
Goday Musekko, “Ta maaranaw koyidayssata maarana; ta qadhettanaw koyidayssatas qadhettana” yaagis.
16 So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
Hiza, Xoossaa dooroy asa shenen woykko ooson gidonnashin iya maarotethaana.
17 For the scripture says unto 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.
Geeshsha Maxaafan, Gibxe kawuwakko, “Taani, ta wolqqaa nenan bessanawunne ta sunthay alame ubban erettana mela hessas nena kawothas” geetettidi xaafettis.
18 Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
Hiza, Xoossay maaranaw koyeyssa maarees; wozanaa muumisanaw koyeyssa wozanaa muumisees.
19 You will say then unto me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?
Hinttefe issoy, “Yaatin, Xoossay ase iita ooso gisho ays borii? Xoossaa sheniya ixxas gaanay oonee?” yaagidi oychchanaw dandda7ees.
20 On the contrary; , 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?
Shin ta ishaw, Xoossaara palamanaw neeni oonee? Urqqafe Medhettida miishey bana medhdhidayssa, “Tana hayssada oothada ays medhdhadi?” gidi oychchanaw dandda7ii?
21 Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Woykko urqqa medhdheyssi issi urqqafe issuwa bonchcho miishe, hankkuwa qassi tooshe miishe oothidi medhdhanaw maati baawe?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Xoossay ba hanquwa bessanawunne ba wolqqaa erisanaw koyidi, pirddas giigida hanqo nayta daro genccan dandda7idaakko ne ay eray?
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared unto glory,
Hessa I oothiday koyrottidi bonchchoos giigisida, ba doorida naytas ba bonchchuwa qonccisanassa.
24 Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Ayhude gidin, woykko Ayhude gidonna asa ubbay Xoossan doorettida.
25 As he says also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Nabiya Hose7e maxaafan, “Ta ase gidonnayssata, ‘Ta ase’ gada xeegana. Ta siiqaboonna deriya, ‘Siiqetidayssata’ gada xeegana.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, All of you are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Entti, ‘Ta ase gidekketa’ geetetti xeegettida bessan, ‘De7o Xoossaa nayta’ geetettidi xeegettana” yaagees.
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:
Nabiya Isayaasi Isra7eele asaabaa, “Isra7eele asay abbaa gaxan de7iya shafiyada darikkoka, enttafe guutha asa xalaali attana.
28 For he will finish the work, (logos) and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work (logos) will the Lord make upon the earth.
Goday alamiya ubbaa bolla ellesidi polo pirddaa pirddana.”
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 unto Gomorrha.
Qassika Isayaasi, “Ubbaafe Wolqqaama Goday nuus guutha zerethi ashshonnabaa gidiyakko, nuuni Soodomenne Gamoora katamaada dhayanashin” yaagidi koyrottidi odis.
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.
Yaatin, nu woyganee? Xillotethaa koyiboonna Ayhude gidonna asay ammanon xillotethi demmidosona.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
Shin xillotethako gathiya higgey de7iya Isra7eele asay xillotethi demmibookkona.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;
Ays demmibookkonaa? Entti xillotethaa ammanon gidonnashin, ooson ekkanaw koyida gishossa. Yaaniya gisho, entti, “Dhubbiya shuchchan” dhubettidosona.
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Taani Xiyoonen dhubbi kunddisiya shuchchaa wothana. Iyan ammaniyaa oonikka yeellatenna” geetettidi xaafettis.
