Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Messiah. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Ruach ha-Kodesh,
ahaM kAJcid kalpitAM kathAM na kathayAmi, khrISTasya sAkSAt satyameva bravImi pavitrasyAtmanaH sAkSAn madIyaM mana etat sAkSyaM dadAti|
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
mamAntaratizayaduHkhaM nirantaraM khedazca
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Messiah for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives according to the flesh,
tasmAd ahaM svajAtIyabhrAtRNAM nimittAt svayaM khrISTAcchApAkrAnto bhavitum aiccham|
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;
yatasta isrAyelasya vaMzA api ca dattakaputratvaM tejo niyamo vyavasthAdAnaM mandire bhajanaM pratijJAH pitRpuruSagaNazcaiteSu sarvveSu teSAm adhikAro'sti|
5 of whom are the patriarchs, and from whom is the Messiah, as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
tat kevalaM nahi kintu sarvvAdhyakSaH sarvvadA saccidAnanda Izvaro yaH khrISTaH so'pi zArIrikasambandhena teSAM vaMzasambhavaH| (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.
Izvarasya vAkyaM viphalaM jAtam iti nahi yatkAraNAd isrAyelo vaMze ye jAtAste sarvve vastuta isrAyelIyA na bhavanti|
7 Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants be called."
aparam ibrAhImo vaMze jAtA api sarvve tasyaiva santAnA na bhavanti kintu ishAko nAmnA tava vaMzo vikhyAto bhaviSyati|
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.
arthAt zArIrikasaMsargAt jAtAH santAnA yAvantastAvanta evezvarasya santAnA na bhavanti kintu pratizravaNAd ye jAyante taevezvaravaMzo gaNyate|
9 For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
yatastatpratizrute rvAkyametat, etAdRze samaye 'haM punarAgamiSyAmi tatpUrvvaM sArAyAH putra eko janiSyate|
10 And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by one, our father Isaac.
aparamapi vadAmi svamano'bhilASata IzvareNa yannirUpitaM tat karmmato nahi kintvAhvayitu rjAtametad yathA siddhyati
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,
tadarthaM ribkAnAmikayA yoSitA janaikasmAd arthAd asmAkam ishAkaH pUrvvapuruSAd garbhe dhRte tasyAH santAnayoH prasavAt pUrvvaM kiJca tayoH zubhAzubhakarmmaNaH karaNAt pUrvvaM
12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
tAM pratIdaM vAkyam uktaM, jyeSThaH kaniSThaM seviSyate,
13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
yathA likhitam Aste, tathApyeSAvi na prItvA yAkUbi prItavAn ahaM|
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.
tarhi vayaM kiM brUmaH? IzvaraH kim anyAyakArI? tathA na bhavatu|
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."
yataH sa svayaM mUsAm avadat; ahaM yasmin anugrahaM cikIrSAmi tamevAnugRhlAmi, yaJca dayitum icchAmi tameva daye|
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
ataevecchatA yatamAnena vA mAnavena tanna sAdhyate dayAkAriNezvareNaiva sAdhyate|
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."
phirauNi zAstre likhati, ahaM tvaddvArA matparAkramaM darzayituM sarvvapRthivyAM nijanAma prakAzayituJca tvAM sthApitavAn|
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
ataH sa yam anugrahItum icchati tamevAnugRhlAti, yaJca nigrahItum icchati taM nigRhlAti|
19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
yadi vadasi tarhi sa doSaM kuto gRhlAti? tadIyecchAyAH pratibandhakatvaM karttaM kasya sAmarthyaM vidyate?
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?"
he Izvarasya pratipakSa martya tvaM kaH? etAdRzaM mAM kutaH sRSTavAn? iti kathAM sRSTavastu sraSTre kiM kathayiSyati?
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?
ekasmAn mRtpiNDAd utkRSTApakRSTau dvividhau kalazau karttuM kiM kulAlasya sAmarthyaM nAsti?
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,
IzvaraH kopaM prakAzayituM nijazaktiM jJApayituJcecchan yadi vinAzasya yogyAni krodhabhAjanAni prati bahukAlaM dIrghasahiSNutAm Azrayati;
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
aparaJca vibhavaprAptyarthaM pUrvvaM niyuktAnyanugrahapAtrANi prati nijavibhavasya bAhulyaM prakAzayituM kevalayihUdinAM nahi bhinnadezinAmapi madhyAd
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
asmAniva tAnyAhvayati tatra tava kiM?
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.'"
hozeyagranthe yathA likhitam Aste, yo loko mama nAsIt taM vadiSyAmi madIyakaM| yA jAti rme'priyA cAsIt tAM vadiSyAmyahaM priyAM|
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.'"
yUyaM madIyalokA na yatreti vAkyamaucyata| amarezasya santAnA iti khyAsyanti tatra te|
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.
isrAyelIyalokeSu yizAyiyo'pi vAcametAM prAcArayat, isrAyelIyavaMzAnAM yA saMkhyA sA tu nizcitaM| samudrasikatAsaMkhyAsamAnA yadi jAyate| tathApi kevalaM lokairalpaistrANaM vrajiSyate|
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."
yato nyAyena svaM karmma parezaH sAdhayiSyati| deze saeva saMkSepAnnijaM karmma kariSyati|
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."
yizAyiyo'paramapi kathayAmAsa, sainyAdhyakSaparezena cet kiJcinnodaziSyata| tadA vayaM sidomevAbhaviSyAma vinizcitaM| yadvA vayam amorAyA agamiSyAma tulyatAM|
30 What shall we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
tarhi vayaM kiM vakSyAmaH? itaradezIyA lokA api puNyArtham ayatamAnA vizvAsena puNyam alabhanta;
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.
kintvisrAyellokA vyavasthApAlanena puNyArthaM yatamAnAstan nAlabhanta|
32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
tasya kiM kAraNaM? te vizvAsena nahi kintu vyavasthAyAH kriyayA ceSTitvA tasmin skhalanajanake pASANe pAdaskhalanaM prAptAH|
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."
likhitaM yAdRzam Aste, pazya pAdaskhalArthaM hi sIyoni prastarantathA| bAdhAkAraJca pASANaM paristhApitavAnaham| vizvasiSyati yastatra sa jano na trapiSyate|
