Romans 9
1 Truth I say in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
| ܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܓܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܪܥܝܢܝ ܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ |
2 that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart—
| ܕܟܪܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܠܝ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܟܐܒܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܝ ܠܐ ܫܠܐ |
3 for I was wishing, I myself, to be accursed from the Christ—for my brothers, my relatives, according to the flesh,
| ܡܨܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܐ ܩܢܘܡܝ ܚܪܡܐ ܐܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܠܦ ܐܚܝ ܘܐܚܝܢܝ ܕܒܒܤܪ |
4 who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
| ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܗܘܬ ܤܝܡܬ ܒܢܝܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܘܩܝܡܐ ܘܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܒܗ ܘܡܘܠܟܢܐ |
5 whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is God over all, blessed for all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
| ܘܐܒܗܬܐ ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܠܗ ܬܫܒܚܢ ܘܒܘܪܟܢ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ (aiōn g165) |
6 And it is not possible that the word of God has failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these of Israel;
| ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܦܠ ܢܦܠܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ |
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but, “in Isaac will a seed be called to you”;
| ܐܦܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܕܒܐܝܤܚܩ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܠܟ ܙܪܥܐ |
8 that is, the children of the flesh—these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
| ܗܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܠܙܪܥܐ |
9 for the word of promise [is] this: “According to this time I will come, and there will be to Sarah a son.”
| ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܒܪܐ ܠܤܪܐ |
10 And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one—our father Isaac
| ܘܠܘ ܗܕܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܪܦܩܐ ܟܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܐܒܘܢ ܐܝܤܚܩ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ |
11 (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to [divine] selection, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling),
| ܥܕܠܐ ܢܬܝܠܕܘܢ ܒܢܝܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܤܥܪܘܢ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܩܕܡܬ ܐܬܝܕܥܬ ܓܒܝܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܗܝ ܬܩܘܐ ܠܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܝܕ ܡܢ ܕܩܪܐ |
12 it was said to her, “The greater will serve the less”;
| ܐܬܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܠܙܥܘܪܐ |
13 according as it has been written: “Jacob I loved, and Esau I hated.”
| ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܪܚܡܬ ܘܠܥܤܘ ܤܢܝܬ |
14 What, then, will we say? Unrighteousness [is] with God? Let it not be!
| ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܐܡܪ ܕܠܡܐ ܥܘܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܤ |
15 For to Moses He says, “I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion”;
| ܗܐ ܐܦ ܠܡܘܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܪܚܡ ܥܠ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܚܘܢ ܠܐܝܢܐ ܕܚܐܢ ܐܢܐ |
16 so then—not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness;
| ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܡܢ ܕܪܗܛ ܐܠܐ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ |
17 for the Writing says to Pharaoh, “For this very thing I raised you up, that I might show in you My power, and that My Name might be declared in all the land”;
| ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܠܦܪܥܘܢ ܕܠܗ ܠܗܕܐ ܐܩܝܡܬܟ ܕܐܚܘܐ ܒܟ ܚܝܠܝ ܘܕܢܬܟܪܙ ܫܡܝ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܟܠܗ |
18 so then, to whom He wills, He does kindness, and to whom He wills, He hardens.
| ܡܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܗܘ ܡܪܚܡ ܘܥܠ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܡܩܫܐ |
19 You will say, then, to me, “Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His counsel?”
| ܘܟܒܪ ܬܐܡܪ ܕܠܡܢܐ ܪܫܐ ܡܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܩܘܡ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܨܒܝܢܗ |
20 No, but, O man, who are you that are answering again to God? Will the thing formed say to Him who formed [it], Why did you make me thus?
| ܐܢܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܐܘ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܬ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܡܪܐ ܓܒܝܠܬܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܓܒܠܗ ܕܠܡܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܒܠܬܢܝ |
21 Does the potter not have authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honor and one to dishonor?
| ܐܘ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܦܚܪܐ ܥܠ ܛܝܢܗ ܕܡܢܗ ܡܢ ܓܒܝܠܬܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܡܐܢܐ ܚܕ ܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܚܕ ܠܨܥܪܐ |
22 And if God, willing to show the wrath and to make known His power, endured, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
| ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܢܘܕܥ ܚܝܠܗ ܐܝܬܝ ܒܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܗ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܥܠ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܐ ܕܓܡܝܪܝܢ ܠܐܒܕܢܐ |
23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He called—us—
| ܘܐܫܦܥ ܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܪܚܡܐ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ |
24 not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
| ܕܐܝܬܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܩܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ |
25 as also in Hosea He says, “I will call what [is] not My people—My people; and her not beloved—Beloved,
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܗܘܫܥ ܐܡܪ ܕܐܩܪܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܝ ܥܡܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܘܠܠܐ ܐܬܪܚܡܬ ܐܬܪܚܡܬ |
26 and it will be—in the place where it was said to them, You [are] not My people; there they will be called sons of the living God.”
| ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܟܪ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܥܡܝ ܬܡܢ ܢܬܩܪܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ |
27 And Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved;
| ܐܫܥܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܟܪܙ ܥܠ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܐܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܚܠܐ ܕܒܝܡܐ ܫܪܟܢܐ ܕܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܚܐ |
28 for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the LORD do on the land.”
| ܡܠܬܐ ܓܪܡ ܘܦܤܩ ܘܢܥܒܕܝܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ |
29 And according as Isaiah says before, “Except the LORD of Hosts left to us a seed, we had become as Sodom, and we had been made like Gomorrah.”
| ܘܐܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܡܪ ܗܘ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܕܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܨܒܐܘܬ ܐܘܬܪ ܠܢ ܤܪܝܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܤܕܘܡ ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܠܥܡܘܪܐ ܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ |
30 What, then, will we say? That nations who are not pursuing righteousness attained to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
| ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܐܡܪ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܗܛܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܐܕܪܟܘ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܝ |
31 and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at a law of righteousness;
| ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܗܛ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܕܪܟ |
32 why? Because—not by faith, but as by works of law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,
| ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܬܬܩܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܟܐܦܐ ܕܬܘܩܠܬܐ |
33 according as it has been written: “Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and everyone who is believing thereon will not be ashamed.”
| ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܗܐ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܕܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܕܡܟܫܘܠܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܒܗ ܢܗܝܡܢ ܠܐ ܢܒܗܬ |
