Romans 9
1 Truth I say in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
Taani Kiristtoosan tuma odays, worddotikke. Geeshsha Ayyaanay kaalethiya ta kahay taani worddotonnayssa taw markkattees.
2 that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart—
Ta wozanan Isra7eeletas daro qadhettaysinne qamma gallas qoppays.
3 for I was wishing, I myself, to be accursed from the Christ—for my brothers, my relatives, according to the flesh,
Taani, ta ishata gisho, Kiristtoosappe shaakettada Xoossaa qanggethafe garssan de7idaakko dosaysishin.
4 who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, 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 [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is God over all, blessed for all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Entti yeletethan mayzata zare; qassi Kiristtoosi ashon entta zare gididi yis. Ubbaafe bolla gidida Xoossay merinaw galatetto. Amin7i! (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;
Gidoshin, Xoossay gelida qaalay polettonna attis guussu gidenna. Isra7eele asa ubbay Xoossaa asi gidokkona.
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but, “in Isaac will a seed be called to you”;
Qassi Abrahaame zare ubbay Abrahaame nayta gidokkona. Xoossay Abrahames, “Ne zerethay Yisaaqa baggara xeegettana” yaagis.
8 that is, the children of the flesh—these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
Hessa guussay ashon yelettida nayti ubbay Xoossaa nayta gidokkona. Shin tuma Isra7eele nayti Xoossay Abrahames gelida qaalada yelettida nayta.
9 for the word of promise [is] this: “According to this time I will come, and there will be to Sarah a son.”
Xoossay immana gidi gelida qaalay, “Taani wontto laythi hannoode yaana; Saarakka adde na7a yelana” yaageyssa.
10 And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one—our father Isaac
Hessa xalaala gidonnashin, Irbbiqinne Yisaaqi yelida mentte adde naytabaa akeekite.
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),
Entti yelettanaappe woykko iita woykko lo77o oothanaappe sinthe Xoossaa dooroy ooson gidonnashin xeessan gideyssa qonccisanaw,
12 it was said to her, “The greater will serve the less”;
“Bayray kaaluwas kiitettana” yaagidi Goday Irbbiqas odis.
13 according as it has been written: “Jacob I loved, and Esau I hated.”
Hessika Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Yayqooba dosas, Eesawe ixxas” geetettidi xaafettis.
14 What, then, will we say? Unrighteousness [is] with God? Let it not be!
Yaatin, nuuni woyganee? Xoossay ase asappe shaakkiyye? Gidenna.
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”;
Goday Musekko, “Ta maaranaw koyidayssata maarana; ta qadhettanaw koyidayssatas qadhettana” yaagis.
16 so then—not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness;
Hiza, Xoossaa dooroy asa shenen woykko ooson gidonnashin iya maarotethaana.
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”;
Geeshsha Maxaafan, Gibxe kawuwakko, “Taani, ta wolqqaa nenan bessanawunne ta sunthay alame ubban erettana mela hessas nena kawothas” geetettidi xaafettis.
18 so then, to whom He wills, He does kindness, and to whom He wills, He hardens.
Hiza, Xoossay maaranaw koyeyssa maarees; wozanaa muumisanaw koyeyssa wozanaa muumisees.
19 You will say, then, to me, “Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His counsel?”
Hinttefe issoy, “Yaatin, Xoossay ase iita ooso gisho ays borii? Xoossaa sheniya ixxas gaanay oonee?” yaagidi oychchanaw dandda7ees.
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?
Shin ta ishaw, Xoossaara palamanaw neeni oonee? Urqqafe Medhettida miishey bana medhdhidayssa, “Tana hayssada oothada ays medhdhadi?” gidi oychchanaw dandda7ii?
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?
Woykko urqqa medhdheyssi issi urqqafe issuwa bonchcho miishe, hankkuwa qassi tooshe miishe oothidi medhdhanaw maati baawe?
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,
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 vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He called—us—
Hessa I oothiday koyrottidi bonchchoos giigisida, ba doorida naytas ba bonchchuwa qonccisanassa.
24 not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
Ayhude gidin, woykko Ayhude gidonna asa ubbay Xoossan doorettida.
25 as also in Hosea He says, “I will call what [is] not My people—My people; and her not beloved—Beloved,
Nabiya Hose7e maxaafan, “Ta ase gidonnayssata, ‘Ta ase’ gada xeegana. Ta siiqaboonna deriya, ‘Siiqetidayssata’ gada xeegana.
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.”
Entti, ‘Ta ase gidekketa’ geetetti xeegettida bessan, ‘De7o Xoossaa nayta’ geetettidi xeegettana” yaagees.
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;
Nabiya Isayaasi Isra7eele asaabaa, “Isra7eele asay abbaa gaxan de7iya shafiyada darikkoka, enttafe guutha asa xalaali attana.
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.”
Goday alamiya ubbaa bolla ellesidi polo pirddaa pirddana.”
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.”
Qassika Isayaasi, “Ubbaafe Wolqqaama Goday nuus guutha zerethi ashshonnabaa gidiyakko, nuuni Soodomenne Gamoora katamaada dhayanashin” yaagidi koyrottidi odis.
30 What, then, will we say? That nations who are not pursuing righteousness attained to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
Yaatin, nu woyganee? Xillotethaa koyiboonna Ayhude gidonna asay ammanon xillotethi demmidosona.
31 and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at a law of righteousness;
Shin xillotethako gathiya higgey de7iya Isra7eele asay xillotethi demmibookkona.
32 why? Because—not by faith, but as by works of law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,
Ays demmibookkonaa? Entti xillotethaa ammanon gidonnashin, ooson ekkanaw koyida gishossa. Yaaniya gisho, entti, “Dhubbiya shuchchan” dhubettidosona.
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.”
Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Taani Xiyoonen dhubbi kunddisiya shuchchaa wothana. Iyan ammaniyaa oonikka yeellatenna” geetettidi xaafettis.
