Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Ghost,
Ani Kiristoosiin dhugaa nan dubbadha; ani hin sobu; yaadni koos Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan naa mirkaneessa;
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
ani gadda guddaa fi dhiphina wal irraa hin cinne garaa koo keessaa qaba.
3 For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren’s sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Ani iyyuu obboloota koo warra akka fooniitti sanyii koo taʼaniif jedhee utuun Kiristoos irraa gargar baʼee abaaramee nan hawwa tureetii;
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
isaan saba Israaʼel. Ilmummaan, ulfinni, kakuun, seera fudhachuun, tajaajiluu fi waadaan kan isaanii ti.
5 whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Abbootiin kan isaanii ti; Kiristoosis isaan irraa fooniin dhalate; inni waan hunda irratti Waaqa; inni bara baraan haa eebbifamu! Ameen. (aiōn g165)
6 But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Kun garuu dubbiin Waaqaa diigameera jechuu miti. Kan Israaʼel irraa dhalate hundi Israaʼel miti.
7 neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Yookaan isaan sababii sanyii Abrahaam taʼaniif hundi isaanii ijoollee isaa miti. Garuu, “Sanyiin kee Yisihaaqiin siif waamama” jedhameera.
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
Kana jechuunis ijoollee waadaatu sanyiitti lakkaaʼama malee ijoolleen foon irraa dhalatan ijoollee Waaqaa miti.
9 For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Dubbiin waadaa sunis kan, “Ani yeroo murteeffametti deebiʼee nan dhufa; Saaraanis ilma ni deessi” jedhu tureetii.
10 And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac—
Kana qofa miti; Ribqaan yeroo namuma tokkoof, abbaa keenya Yisihaaqiif ulfooftetti,
11 for [the children] 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 that calleth,
ijoolleen sun utuu hin dhalatin yookaan utuu waan gaarii yookaan waan hamaa hin hojjetin akka kaayyoon filannoo Waaqaa raawwatamuuf,
12 it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
utuu hojiin hin taʼin isa waamicha Waaqaatiin, “Inni hangafni isa quxisuu tajaajila” jedhamee isheetti himame.
13 Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
Kunis akkuma, “Yaaqoobin nan jaalladhe; Esaawun garuu nan jibbe” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Egaa maal jenna ree? Waaqni jalʼaadhaa? Gonkumaa akkas miti!
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
Inni Museedhaan, “Ani kanan maaru nan maara; kanan garaa laafuufiis garaa nan laafa” jedhaatii.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.
Kanaafuu wanti kun araara Waaqaatiin malee hawwii yookaan carraaqqii namaatiin miti.
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might shew in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.
Katabbiin qulqulluun Faraʼooniin, “Ani humna koo sirratti argisiisuuf, maqaan koos akka lafa hunda irratti labsamuuf kaayyoo kanaaf si kaaseera” jedhaatii.
18 So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Kanaaf Waaqni kan maaruu barbaadu ni maara; kan mata jabeessa gochuu barbaadu immoo mata jabeessa godha.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?
Isinis, “Yoos Waaqni maaliif amma iyyuu dogoggora nurra barbaada? Fedhii isaas eenyutu mormuu dandaʼa?” naan jettu.
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
Garuu yaa namichoo, Waaqaan mormuuf ati eenyu? “Wanti tolfame tokko kan isa tolcheen, ‘Ati maaliif akkanatti na tolchite?’” jedhaa?
21 Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Suphee dhooftuun tokko dhoqqee suphee kan bukaaʼe irraa qodaa ulfinaa fi salphinaaf oolu tolchuuf mirga hin qabuu?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:
Waaqni dheekkamsa isaa argisiisuu fi humna isaas beeksisuuf jedhee yoo miʼa dheekkamsaa kanneen badiisaaf qopheeffaman obsa guddaan bira darbe hoo?
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,
Inni badhaadhummaa ulfina isaa yoo miʼa araara isaa kanneen duraan dursee ulfinaaf qopheessetti beeksisuuf jedhee waan kana godhe hoo?
24 [even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
Nus warra waamaman keessaa tokkoo dha; inni Yihuudoota qofa keessaa utuu hin taʼin Namoota Ormaa keessaas waameera.
25 As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, which was not beloved.
Inni kitaaba Hooseʼaa keessatti akkana jedha: “Ani warra saba koo hin taʼiniin, ‘saba koo’ nan jedha; ishee jaallatamtuu hin taʼiniin immoo, ‘jaallatamtuu’ nan jedha.”
26 And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.
Akkasumas isaan, “Iddoodhuma itti, ‘Isin saba koo miti’ isaaniin jedhame sanatti, ‘ilmaan Waaqa jiraataa’ jedhamanii ni waamamu.”
27 And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
Isaayyaas akkana jedhee waaʼee Israaʼel iyya: “Baayʼinni ilmaan Israaʼel yoo akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa taʼe iyyuu, hambaa qofatu fayya.
28 for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
Gooftaan utuu hin turin, yeroo dhumaatiif lafa irratti ni muraatii.”
29 And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.
Kunis akkuma Isaayyaas duraan dursee akkana jedhee dubbatee dha: “Utuu Gooftaan Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, sanyii nuuf hambisuu baatee, nu silaa akkuma Sodoom taanee, Gomoraas fakkaanna turre.”
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:
Egaa maal jenna ree? Namoonni Ormaa kan qajeelummaa duukaa hin buʼin qajeelummaa karaa amantiitiin taʼe argataniiru.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law.
Israaʼeloonni seera qajeelummaa duukaa buʼan garuu qajeelummaa hin arganne.
32 Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
Maaliif dhaban? Kunis sababii isaan utuu karaa amantiitiin hin taʼin hojiidhaan qajeelummaa argachuu barbaadaniif; isaanis dhagaa nama gufachiisuun gufatan.
33 even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
Kunis akkuma, “Kunoo, ani dhagaa nama gufachiisu, kattaa nama kuffisu Xiyoon keessa nan kaaʼa; namni isatti amanu gonkumaa hin qaanaʼu” jedhamee barreeffame sanaa dha.
