Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,
Taani Kiristtoosan tuma odays, worddotikke. Geeshsha Ayyaanay kaalethiya ta kahay taani worddotonnayssa taw markkattees.
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
Ta wozanan Isra7eeletas daro qadhettaysinne qamma gallas qoppays.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Taani, ta ishata gisho, Kiristtoosappe shaakettada Xoossaa qanggethafe garssan de7idaakko dosaysishin.
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertain the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, 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 from whom according to the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Entti yeletethan mayzata zare; qassi Kiristtoosi ashon entta zare gididi yis. Ubbaafe bolla gidida Xoossay merinaw galatetto. Amin7i! (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descended from Israel:
Gidoshin, Xoossay gelida qaalay polettonna attis guussu gidenna. Isra7eele asa ubbay Xoossaa asi gidokkona.
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Qassi Abrahaame zare ubbay Abrahaame nayta gidokkona. Xoossay Abrahames, “Ne zerethay Yisaaqa baggara xeegettana” yaagis.
8 That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Hessa guussay ashon yelettida nayti ubbay Xoossaa nayta gidokkona. Shin tuma Isra7eele nayti Xoossay Abrahames gelida qaalada yelettida nayta.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Xoossay immana gidi gelida qaalay, “Taani wontto laythi hannoode yaana; Saarakka adde na7a yelana” yaageyssa.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Hessa xalaala gidonnashin, Irbbiqinne Yisaaqi yelida mentte adde naytabaa akeekite.
11 ( For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; )
Entti yelettanaappe woykko iita woykko lo77o oothanaappe sinthe Xoossaa dooroy ooson gidonnashin xeessan gideyssa qonccisanaw,
12 It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
“Bayray kaaluwas kiitettana” yaagidi Goday Irbbiqas odis.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Hessika Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Yayqooba dosas, Eesawe ixxas” geetettidi xaafettis.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? By no means.
Yaatin, nuuni woyganee? Xoossay ase asappe shaakkiyye? Gidenna.
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Goday Musekko, “Ta maaranaw koyidayssata maarana; ta qadhettanaw koyidayssatas qadhettana” yaagis.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
Hiza, Xoossaa dooroy asa shenen woykko ooson gidonnashin iya maarotethaana.
17 For the scripture saith to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Geeshsha Maxaafan, Gibxe kawuwakko, “Taani, ta wolqqaa nenan bessanawunne ta sunthay alame ubban erettana mela hessas nena kawothas” geetettidi xaafettis.
18 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Hiza, Xoossay maaranaw koyeyssa maarees; wozanaa muumisanaw koyeyssa wozanaa muumisees.
19 Thou wilt say then to me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Hinttefe issoy, “Yaatin, Xoossay ase iita ooso gisho ays borii? Xoossaa sheniya ixxas gaanay oonee?” yaagidi oychchanaw dandda7ees.
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Shin ta ishaw, Xoossaara palamanaw neeni oonee? Urqqafe Medhettida miishey bana medhdhidayssa, “Tana hayssada oothada ays medhdhadi?” gidi oychchanaw dandda7ii?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
Woykko urqqa medhdheyssi issi urqqafe issuwa bonchcho miishe, hankkuwa qassi tooshe miishe oothidi medhdhanaw maati baawe?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to 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 the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
Hessa I oothiday koyrottidi bonchchoos giigisida, ba doorida naytas ba bonchchuwa qonccisanassa.
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Ayhude gidin, woykko Ayhude gidonna asa ubbay Xoossan doorettida.
25 As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people; and her beloved, who was not beloved.
Nabiya Hose7e maxaafan, “Ta ase gidonnayssata, ‘Ta ase’ gada xeegana. Ta siiqaboonna deriya, ‘Siiqetidayssata’ gada xeegana.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Entti, ‘Ta ase gidekketa’ geetetti xeegettida bessan, ‘De7o Xoossaa nayta’ geetettidi xeegettana” yaagees.
27 Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Nabiya Isayaasi Isra7eele asaabaa, “Isra7eele asay abbaa gaxan de7iya shafiyada darikkoka, enttafe guutha asa xalaali attana.
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Goday alamiya ubbaa bolla ellesidi polo pirddaa pirddana.”
29 And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah.
Qassika Isayaasi, “Ubbaafe Wolqqaama Goday nuus guutha zerethi ashshonnabaa gidiyakko, nuuni Soodomenne Gamoora katamaada dhayanashin” yaagidi koyrottidi odis.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith.
Yaatin, nu woyganee? Xillotethaa koyiboonna Ayhude gidonna asay ammanon xillotethi demmidosona.
31 But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Shin xillotethako gathiya higgey de7iya Isra7eele asay xillotethi demmibookkona.
32 Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Ays demmibookkonaa? Entti xillotethaa ammanon gidonnashin, ooson ekkanaw koyida gishossa. Yaaniya gisho, entti, “Dhubbiya shuchchan” dhubettidosona.
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Taani Xiyoonen dhubbi kunddisiya shuchchaa wothana. Iyan ammaniyaa oonikka yeellatenna” geetettidi xaafettis.
