Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,
Ngo jvjvbv mindung dunv; ngo kristo gvngv okv ngo mvvma dunv. Ngo mvngnam sum, Darwknv Dow lokv rigv namv, vbvka ngo jvjv rungdu vla mintamjidu
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
vdwlo ngo mindu ngoogv mvngruv vdwgo kaidu, vdwgo ngoogv achiv haapok lokv nyeka madu vdu
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
holvgabv ngoogv nyiv, ngoogv awgv adwnv okv oyiv! Holvgabv ngo atuv bunu lvgabv Pwknvyarnnv gv beenam lo okv Kristo gv lokv apin sito kunvpv vla mvngdu.
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;
Bunu vdwv Pwknvyarnv gv nyi ngv; Hv bunua ninyigv umvuu bv mvtoku okv turnam loung am bunu gvlo kaatam jito; Hv ninyigv umkvpakvvnam am bunugv lvkobv mvtoku okv Pvbv nga bunua jitoku; Bunu vdwv jvjvrungbv kumnya jiduku; bunu vdwv Pwknvyarnv gv milvpvvnam laarwk sinyatoku;
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)
Bunu vdwv Hebrew abuapa yunam lokv ali linvgo; okv kristo, nyia nyidung akobv bunugv lokv lindu. Pwknvyarnv ngv, mvnwng nga rigvdogvnv, hartv tvbv la riyilaka vdunv! Amen. (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:
Ngo Pwknvyarnv gv milvpvvnam v dooku makv vla mima dunv; holvgabv Israel gv nyi mvnwng ngv Pwknvyarnv gv nyi mvngchikbv rimadunv.
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Vmajvka Abraham gv singsit lokv linv mvnwng vka Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv rimwng madunv. Pwknvyarnv Abrahamnyi mintoku, “Ngo nam milvpvvdu kunv Isaak gv lokv noogv husiv twngtv bv doosiksilin reku.”
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.
Soogv vbv minam umvuu bvngnam dvdv ngv bvngdinnv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv ridunv vnam kaama; vbvmayabv, Pwknvyarnv gv milvpvvnam lokv umvuu bvngnam dvdvlo jvjvbv singsit doosiksinam am mindu.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Holvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv milvpvvnamv oogv vkvnv gamchargo mimpv jito; “oogv aluching lo ngo aakur rekunyi, okv sara umvuu go dooreku vto.”
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Okv si tikma, holvgavbolo Rebika gv kuunyilo anyi vka abu akinnv, Isaak ngonugv abuapa ngv.
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; )
Vbvritola oogv vbv minam lokv akonv vv Pwknvyarnv gv atubogv mvngnam lokv gaklin kunamv, Pwknvyarnv ninyia minto, “bvngcho yanam angv vv boru yanga rijivngji yanv gobv rire.” Pwknvyarnv bunua bvngtv madv bv sum mincho jitoku, bunu oguguka alvnvnga alvmanv nga rima dubv; vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv so gaknamv ninyigv goknam lokv rito, okv bunugv oguguka rinamdoonam lokvma.
12 It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Darwknv kitap v vbv minto, “ngo Jakopnyi pakdunv, vbvritola Isaunyi pakma dunv.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? By no means.
Vbvrikubolo ngonu minladunv, vv Pwknvyarnv jwngkadaka madu nvgoi? Ma vbvdv ma.
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.
Vkvlvgabv hv Mosesnyi minto, “ngo yvvnyi mvngdudw um ngo aya dunv; ngo yvvnyi mvngdudw um ngo pakdunv.”
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
Vkvlvgabv vbvrikubolo, ogumvnwng mvnging nama, ngonu nyia mvngdung okv ridung lokv ogudw um rimadu, vbvritola Pwknvyarnv gv aya mvngchik lokv ridunv.
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.
Holvgabv Darwknv kitap v Ejipt gv dvbv nga mindu, “ngo nam ngoogv jwkrwa kaatamla rinvvngnv dubv dvbv gobv mvpvnv okv ngoogv kai am nyiamooku mvnwng lo chinsik karmu dubv vla.”
18 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Holvgabv vbvrikubolo, Pwknvyarnv gv ninyigv aya nga yvvnyi mvngka dudw um jiso mvngnam am hv jidu okv hv ninyigv mvnggwnglo yvvnyika akortor dubv mvso mvngbolo mvladu.
19 Thou wilt say then to me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Vbvritola nonuno akin gonv ngam vbv minre, “si vbvridubolo, oguaingbv Pwknvyarnv nyigonv gv rimur am mapa ridw? Yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gv mvnglwk ka mvtor nyola redw?”
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?
Vbvritola ngoogv ajin vdw, nonu yvvla, Pwknvyarnvnyi mingkurla mirwk sila jinv ngv? Pvchwng ngv mvnv atu am “no nga ogubv svbv mvpvnvri vla tvka sudunvri?”
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
Ogubvrijvka, yvvdw Pvching mvnv ngv vv atugv mvnggwng bv ogubv mvnvrinv nwngdudw vbvching mvnvrinvre, okv takam kvdw nuunum akin lokv pvchwng anyi mvnam um, akonyi apum pamrinyi okv akonyi kvvbi adung lo mvnvrinv mindu.
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:
Okv Pwknvyarnv gv ogugo ripvdw vv jvjvbv vsukaring sibv rito. Hv ninyigv haachi nama kaatam nwngtoku. Okv ninyigv jwkrwa chimu toku. Vbvritola hv achialvbv saktvto yvvdw ninyigv haachi nama hiru rugvdudw, oogv sitvyaatv lakula sigvngoogv tvvdu kunv ngv.
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
Okv hv ninyigv nyitv kairungnv hartvbamtv aka achialvbv kaatam vngroku, oogv ninyigv aya nga paamu dubv vla ngonugv aolo pwlwk kunam vkvnvgo, yvvdw ngonu vdwgvlo hv ninyigv yunglit nama laarwk sidubv mvpvripv dukunv.
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Holvgabv ngonuka goknam nyi bv ridukunv, Jius vdwgv pingko lokv gokmwng mvngchik ma vbvritola Jentail vdwgv pingko loka gokdu.
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.
So si ogubv hv mindudw Hosea kitap lo doodu. “Yvvdw ngoogv nyi bv rima dunv ‘ngoogv nyi’ bv gokreku. Ngoogv pakma nam diringmooku vdwa, ‘ngo pakya yarungnam gobv gokreku.’
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.
Okv achialv bv mooku lo ogolo bunu mimpv kudw, ‘nonu ngoogv nyi makv vla.’ Hoka bunu vdwv turnv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu ngv vla mireku.”
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:
Okv Aijaya ka Israel vdwgv lvkwnglo gokpa jito: “Israel gv nyi vdwv svmasa gv chokri gv aingbv rijeka, vbvrikwng kujvka miang chaigo ringlin komwng rinvpv;
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Um lvgabv Ahtu nyiamookua ninyigv sabsvbusv ngam baapu alvbv kaadartabia reku.”
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.
Sum Aijaya gvlo kvvlo vbvching minto, “Ahtu kainv, singsitnv kvvgonyi ngonua apak jimabolo, ngonu sodom aingbv ripvkunvpv, ngonu Gomora aingbv ripvkunvpv.”
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.
Vkvlvgabv ngonu Jentail vdwgv lvkwnglo mindu, oogv yvvdw bunu atubongv Pwknvyarnv gvlo tarwkbak bv doodubv gwngma dudw, ninyigvlo tarwkbak bv mvngjwng lokv doomudakmudu;
31 But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Pwknvyarnv gv nyi ridula, oogv Pvbv ngam mala tarwkbak bv bunugv Pwknvyarnv gvlo doodubv vla rinv vdwv, vv paamatuku.
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;
Okv vv ogulvgabv paamadunv? Vkvlvgavbolo bunu mvngjwng nama mvnging mabv rito vbvritola bunu ogugo ridudw um mvnging mvngto. Okv vkvlvgabv bunu “vlwng dwktup” kolo dwktupla rito.
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.
Oogv Darwknv gv kitap lo minto: “Kaatoka, ngo Jayon lo vlwng pvgo vvpvdunv vv nyi vdwa dwktup more, vlwng pvngv vv bunua gimup more. Vbvritola yvvdw ninyia mvngjwng dunv um sanga momare.”
