< Romans 9 >

1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,
ܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܓܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܪܥܝܢܝ ܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
ܕܟܪܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܠܝ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܟܐܒܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܝ ܠܐ ܫܠܐ
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my physical 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 giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;
ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܗܘܬ ܤܝܡܬ ܒܢܝܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܘܩܝܡܐ ܘܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܒܗ ܘܡܘܠܟܢܐ
5 of whom are the patriarchs, and from whom is the Christ, as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ܘܐܒܗܬܐ ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܠܗ ܬܫܒܚܢ ܘܒܘܪܟܢ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܦܠ ܢܦܠܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ
7 Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants be called."
ܐܦܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܕܒܐܝܤܚܩ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܠܟ ܙܪܥܐ
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
ܗܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܠܙܪܥܐ
9 For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܒܪܐ ܠܤܪܐ
10 And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by one, our father Isaac.
ܘܠܘ ܗܕܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܪܦܩܐ ܟܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܐܒܘܢ ܐܝܤܚܩ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
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 elder will serve the younger."
ܐܬܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܠܙܥܘܪܐ
13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܪܚܡܬ ܘܠܥܤܘ ܤܢܝܬ
14 What should we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.
ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܐܡܪ ܕܠܡܐ ܥܘܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܤ
15 For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, 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 it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܡܢ ܕܪܗܛ ܐܠܐ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܠܦܪܥܘܢ ܕܠܗ ܠܗܕܐ ܐܩܝܡܬܟ ܕܐܚܘܐ ܒܟ ܚܝܠܝ ܘܕܢܬܟܪܙ ܫܡܝ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܟܠܗ
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
ܡܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܗܘ ܡܪܚܡ ܘܥܠ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܡܩܫܐ
19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
ܘܟܒܪ ܬܐܡܪ ܕܠܡܢܐ ܪܫܐ ܡܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܩܘܡ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܨܒܝܢܗ
20 But who indeed are you, a human being, to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"
ܐܢܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܐܘ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܬ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܡܪܐ ܓܒܝܠܬܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܓܒܠܗ ܕܠܡܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܒܠܬܢܝ
21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
ܐܘ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܦܚܪܐ ܥܠ ܛܝܢܗ ܕܡܢܗ ܡܢ ܓܒܝܠܬܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܡܐܢܐ ܚܕ ܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܚܕ ܠܨܥܪܐ
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made 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 mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
ܘܐܫܦܥ ܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܪܚܡܐ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
ܕܐܝܬܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܩܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ
25 As he says also in Hosea, "I will call them which were not my people 'my people,' and her who was not loved, 'loved.'"
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܗܘܫܥ ܐܡܪ ܕܐܩܪܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܝ ܥܡܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܘܠܠܐ ܐܬܪܚܡܬ ܐܬܪܚܡܬ
26 "It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'children of the living God.'"
ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܟܪ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܥܡܝ ܬܡܢ ܢܬܩܪܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be kept safe.
ܐܫܥܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܟܪܙ ܥܠ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܐܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܚܠܐ ܕܒܝܡܐ ܫܪܟܢܐ ܕܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܚܐ
28 For he will fulfill the word and decisively in righteousness; because the Lord will carry out the word decisively in the midst of the earth."
ܡܠܬܐ ܓܪܡ ܘܦܤܩ ܘܢܥܒܕܝܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ
29 As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, and would have 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 should we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܐܡܪ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܗܛܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܐܕܪܟܘ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܝ
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.
ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܗܛ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܕܪܟ
32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܬܬܩܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܟܐܦܐ ܕܬܘܩܠܬܐ
33 even as it is written, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock to trip over; and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."
ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܗܐ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܕܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܕܡܟܫܘܠܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܒܗ ܢܗܝܡܢ ܠܐ ܢܒܗܬ
