Romans 9
1 [Now I would like to discuss the fact that most of my fellow Israelites have rejected Christ]. Because of my relationship with Christ, I say completely truthfully [what I will now tell you]. I am not lying [DOU]! My conscience confirms what I [say] because the Holy Spirit [controls it].

4 We [Jews] are [Israelites, God’s chosen] descendants of [Jacob]. [God has always considered] us as his children [MET]. It was to our ancestors [that he used to appear] gloriously [while they were in the desert]. It was with them that [God made] covenants [several times]. It was to them [that God] gave the laws [at Sinai Mountain]. They were the ones [to whom God showed how they should] worship him. They were the ones [to whom God] promised many things, [especially that the Messiah would come from their race].

5 It was our ancestors, [Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whom God chose to found our nation]. And, [most importantly], it was from us Israelites that the Messiah received his human nature. [Nevertheless, most of my fellow Israelites have rejected Christ], who is the one who controls all things! He is God, the one who is worthy that we praise him forever! This is true! (OR, Amen!) (aiōn g165)

6 [God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that their descendants would all inherit his blessings]. But [although most of my fellow Israelites have rejected Christ], that does not [prove] that God has failed [to do] the things that he promised, because it is not all who are descended from Jacob and who [call themselves the people of] Israel whom [God considers] to be truly his people.
ଇସ୍ୱର୍ତି ରାଣ୍ ଆୱାତାତ୍ନା ଇଞ୍ଜି ଆନ୍ ଇନୁଙ୍ଗା, ଇନେକିଦେଂକି ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ୍ ୱିଜ଼ାର୍ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ତି ଲକୁ ଆକାୟ୍,
7 And it is also not all of Abraham’s natural descendants that [God considers] to be his people. Instead, [God considers only some of them to be Abraham’s children]. [This agrees with what God told Abraham]: “It is Isaac, [not any of your(sg) other sons], whom [I] will consider [to be the true father of] your descendants.”
ନଲେ ଅବ୍ରାହାମ୍ ଲାତ୍ରା ଇଞ୍ଜି ଜେ ୱିଜ଼ାର୍ ମାଜ଼ିର୍, ହେଦାଂ ଆକାୟ୍; ମାତର୍ “ଇସ୍ହାକ୍ ତାକେ ମି ଲାତ୍ରା ଡାକ୍ପୁଟା ଆନାତ୍ ।”
8 That means that it is not all the natural-born descendants [of Abraham] whom God [considers as] his children. Instead, it is those who [believed what God] promised whom [he] considers to be his children.
ଇବେନି ଅରତ୍ ଇଦାଂ, ଗାଗାଡ଼୍ ବାବ୍ରେ ଇମ୍ଣି ମାଜ଼ିର୍ ହେୱାର୍ ଜେ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ତି ମାଜ଼ିର୍, ହେଦାଂ ଆକାୟ୍ ମାତର୍ ପାର୍ମାଣ୍ କିତି ମାଜ଼ିର୍ ଲାତ୍ରା ଲାକେ ଗାଣାକିୟାନାର୍ ।
9 [You know that what God] promised [to Abraham] was this: “About this time [next year] Sarah [your wife] will bear a son [as a result of my enabling] [MTY] [her to do so].” [So Abraham knew that it was not through Ishmael, the son that he already had, that God would fulfill what he had promised him] (OR, [that his true descendants would come]).
ଇନେକିଦେଂକି ଇଦାଂ ତ ପାର୍ମାଣ୍ କିତି ବଚନ୍, ଇ ଦିନ୍ତ ଆପେଂ ୱାନାକା, ଆରେ ସାରା ର ମାଜ଼ି ଗାଟା ଆଜ଼ି ମାନ୍ଗାନାତ୍ ।
10 And not only then did God show [that he did not determine who would be his true children according to who their ancestors were. He showed it again] when Rebecca conceived [twins] by our ancestor Isaac.
ଆରେ କେବଲ୍ ହେଦାଂ ଆକାୟ୍, ମାତର୍ ରିବିକା ପା ରୱାନ୍ ମାନାୟ୍ ହୁଦାଂ, ଇଚିସ୍ ମା ଆକର୍ ଇସ୍ହାକ୍ ହୁଦାଂ ମାଜେଙ୍ଗ୍ଆସ୍ତି ପାଚେ,
11 Before [the twins, Jacob and Esau], were born, when neither one had yet done anything good or bad, [God] said to Rebecca [about the twins she was to bear], “The older one shall later serve the younger one, [contrary to normal custom].” [God said this] in order that [we] might [clearly] understand that what he purposed [for people] was according to what he himself determined. That is, people’s [eternal destiny] does not depend on what they do. Instead, their destiny depends on [God], the one who chooses them.

13 And [this teaching is] ([supported/shown to be true]) [by] what is written [in the Scriptures] {what [a prophet] recorded} [that God said]: “I favored Jacob, [the younger son]. I did not favor [HYP] Esau, [the older son].”
ଇନେସ୍ ଲେକାମାନାତ୍, ଜାକୁବ୍ ଆପ୍ ଜିଉନତାପ୍, ମାତର୍ ଏସୌତିଙ୍ଗ୍ ଗିଣ୍ କିତାପ୍ ।”
14 [Someone] might say, “(Is God unjust [by choosing the ones he wants to choose?/I think] that God is unjust [by choosing the ones he wants to choose!])” [RHQ] [I would reply], “[He is] certainly not [unjust]!”
ବାଟିଙ୍ଗ୍ ଆସେଙ୍ଗ୍ ଇନାକା ଇନାସ୍? “ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ତାକେ କି ଇନାକା ଅନ୍ୟାୟ୍ ମାନାତ୍? ହେଦାଂ ଇନାୱାଡ଼ାଙ୍ଗ୍ ପା ଆମେତ୍ ।”
15 God told Moses, “I will pity and help anyone whom I choose [DOU]!”
ଇନେକିଦେଂକି ହେୱାନ୍ ମସାଙ୍ଗ୍ ଇନାନା, “ଇନାକା ଜପି ମା ଦୟା ମାନାତ୍, ହେଦେଲିଂ ଆସେଙ୍ଗ୍ ଦୟା କିନାସ୍, ଆରେ ଇନାକା ଜପି ମା କାର୍ମା ମାନାତ୍, ହେୱାନିଂ ଆସେଙ୍ଗ୍ କାର୍ମା ଆନାପ୍ ।”
16 So [God chooses people], not because they want [God to choose them] or because they try hard [to do things so that he] will [accept them]. Instead he chooses people because he himself has mercy [on undeserving ones].
ଲାଗିଂ, ଇନେର୍ ମାନ୍ କିନାନ୍, କି ଇନେର୍ ସେସ୍ଟା କିନାନ୍, ହେଦାଂ ତାଂ ଇଦାଂ ଆଉତ୍, ମତର୍ ଦୟାଲୁ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ତାଂ ଆନାତ୍ ।
17 [Moses] recorded [PRS] [that God had told] Pharaoh, “This is why I gave you [(sg)] authority [MTY]: It was in order that I might show [by how I oppose] you [how exceedingly] powerful I am, and in order that people everywhere [HYP] would hear about me [MTY].”
ଲାଗିଂ ସାସ୍ତର୍ ପାରଙ୍ଗ୍ତିଂ ଇନାତ୍, ଆପ୍ ଇନେସ୍ ମି ତାକେ ମା ସାକ୍ତି ଚଚ୍ନାସ୍, “ଆରେ ଇନେସ୍ ୱିଜ଼ୁ ପୁର୍ତିତ ମା ତର୍ ଚଞ୍ଜିୟା ଆନାତ୍, ଇ ଇଦାଂ କାଜିଂ ତ ଆପ୍ ମିଙ୍ଗେଙ୍ଗ୍ ନିକ୍ତାତାପ୍ ।”
18 So [we conclude that God] kindly helps the ones he wants to act kindly towards. But he makes stubborn the ones [such as Pharaoh] that he wants [to make stubborn].

19 [One of] you may [object to this by] saying to me, “[Because God determines ahead of time everything that people do, that also implies that he wants us to do everything that we do]. (No one has resisted what God has willed!/Who has resisted what God has willed?) [RHQ] Therefore, (it would not be right that God would still condemn [a person for having sinned]!/why does God still condemn [a person for having sinned]?) [RHQ]”
ଇବେ ଏପ୍ ନାଙ୍ଗ୍ ଇଞ୍ଜ୍ନାଦେରା, “ତେବେ ହେୱାନ୍ ଆରେ ଦସ୍ ଆସ୍ତାନାର୍ ଇନେକିଦେଂ? ଇନେକିଦେଂକି ହେୱାନ୍ତି ଇଚା ଇନେର୍ ବିରୁଦ୍ କିଦେଙ୍ଗ୍ ଆଡ୍ନାର୍?”
20 [I would reply that since] you [(sg)] are [just a] human being, (you do not [have any right at all to] criticize God!/[who are you to] say that what God does is wrong?) [RHQ] [As a potter is the one who creates a clay pot, God is the one who created you]. (A clay pot [MET] certainly would not [have a right to criticize] the potter by asking [PRS], “Why did you [(sg)] make me this way?”/Would a clay pot [have a right to criticize] the potter by asking [PRS], “Why did you [(sg)] make me this way?”) [RHQ]

22 Although God desires to show that he is angry [about sin], and [although he desires to] make clear that he can powerfully [punish people who have sinned], he tolerated very patiently the people [MET] who caused him to be angry and who deserved to be destroyed (OR, who were made to be destroyed).

I will declare that many people whom I did not love [HYP] before, I love now.
ଇନେସ୍ ହେୱାନ୍ ହସେୟତି ପତିତ ପା ଇନାନ୍, “ଇମ୍ଣାକାର୍ ମା ଲକ୍ ହିଲ୍ୱାତାର୍, ହେୱାରିଂ ନିଜ୍ତି ମା ଲକ୍ ବାବ୍ରେ କୁକ୍ନାପ୍ ।” ଇମ୍ଣି ଜାତିତିଂ ଆପ୍ ଜିଉନୱାଦାଂ ମାଚାପ୍, ହେୱାନିଂ ମା ୱାରିନିକାନ୍ ଇଞ୍ଜି ଇନାସ୍;
26 And [another prophet wrote]: What will happen is that in the places where [God] told them before, “You are not my people,” in those same places [people] will declare truthfully that they are children of God, who is completely powerful.
“ଆରେ, ଇମ୍ଣି ବାହାତ ଏପେଙ୍ଗ୍ ମା ଲକ୍ ଆକାୟ୍ ଇଞ୍ଜି ହେୱାରିଂ ଇନ୍ୟାଜ଼ି ମାଚାତ୍, ହେ ବାହାତ ହେୱାର୍ ଜିତି ଇସ୍ୱର୍ତି ମାଜ଼ିର୍ ଇଞ୍ଜି ଡାକ୍ପୁଟା ଆନାର୍ ।”
27 Isaiah also exclaimed concerning the Israelites: Even though the Israelites are [so many that no one can count them, like] sand [particles on the beach beside] the ocean, [only] a small part of them will be saved {[God] will save [only] a small part of them},
ଆରେ, ଜିସାୟ୍ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ୍ ବିସ୍ରେ ଗାଜା କାଟ୍ତାଂ ଇନାର୍, “ଇସ୍ରାଏଲିୟାର୍ ମାଜ଼ିର୍ତି ଗିଣ୍ନି ହାମ୍ଦୁର୍ନି ବାଲି ଲାକେ ଆତିସ୍ ପା କେବଲ୍ ବାକି ମୁକ୍ତି ଆନାକା ପାୟା ଆନାର୍ ।”
28 because the Lord will punish completely and speedily the [people who live on] this earth, as he said that he would do.
“ଲାଗିଂ ମାପ୍ରୁ ପୁର୍ତିତ ଜାର୍ ବଚନ୍ତ ବାର୍ତି କିନାନ୍, ହେୱାନ୍ ହେଦାଂ ପୁରା ଲାକେ ଅଲପ୍ କିନାନ୍ ।”
29 [Also, we can understand from what the prophet] Isaiah said [that God would not save] anyone if he did not show mercy: If the Lord, who controls everything in heaven, had not mercifully allowed some of our descendants to survive, we would have become like the people of [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah, who were [SIM, DOU] completely destroyed.
ଆରେ, ଇନେସ୍ ଜିସାୟ୍ ଆଗେ ଇଚାନ୍ନା, “ବୁତ୍କୁ ମାପ୍ରୁ ଜଦି ମା କାଜିଂ ର ବାକି ଇଡ୍ୱାତାନ୍ମା, ବାଟିଙ୍ଗ୍ ଆସେଙ୍ଗ୍ ସଦମ୍ ଲାକେ ଆତାସ୍ମା, ଆରି ଗମରା ସମାନ୍ କିୟା ଆତାସ୍ମା ।”
30 We must conclude this: [RHQ] Although non-Jews did not search out [a way by which] God would erase the record of their sins, they actually found that way because they trusted [in what Christ did for them].
ବାଟିଙ୍ଗ୍, ଆସେଙ୍ଗ୍ ଇନାକା ଇନାସ୍? ଇମ୍ଣି ପାର୍ତିକିୱି ଜିହୁଦିର୍ ଦାର୍ମି ଆଦେଂ ମାନ୍ କିୱାଦାଂ ମାଚାର୍, ହେୱାର୍ ଦାର୍ମି, ଇ ଲାକେ କି ପାର୍ତି ଲାକେ ଦାର୍ମି, ଲାବ୍ କିତାର୍ନା ।
31 But although [the people of] Israel sought a basis [by which God would] erase the record of their sins, they did not succeed in [fulfilling the true purpose of the] laws [that God gave to Moses].

32 The reason [RHQ] [that they did not succeed] is that they did not trust that [God would provide a way to save them]. Instead, they were trying to do certain things [in order that God would accept them. Because they did not expect the Messiah to die, the Israelites] felt disgusted about [Jesus’ death, which is like] the stone [MET] on which people stumble.
ଇନେକିଦେଂ? ଇନେକିଦେଂକି ହେୱାର୍ ପାର୍ତି ହୁକେ ହେଦାଂ ଦାହ୍ୱାଦାଂ କାମାୟ୍ ହୁକେ ଦାସ୍ତି ମାଚାର୍ । ହେୱାର୍ ହେ ବାଦା ହିଜ଼ି ମାନି କାଲ୍ଦ ବାଦା ପାୟାଜ଼ି ଉଜ଼୍ତାର୍,
33 This is what [a prophet] predicted when he wrote these words that [God said about the Messiah]: Listen! I am placing in Israel [MTY] [one who is like] a stone [MET] on which people will stumble. What he does will offend people [DOU]. Nevertheless, those who believe in him will not be disappointed.
