Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
Ibagak ti kinapudno gapu kenni Cristo. Saanak nga agulbod ken makipagpaneknek kaniak ti konsensiak iti Espiritu Santo,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
nga addaanak iti nakaro a ladingit ken saan nga agsarsardeng a panaas iti pusok.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
Ta mabalin a kalikagumak a mailunod ken maisinaak manipud kenni Cristo a para kadagiti kakabsatko a lallaki, dagiti nagtaud iti pulik segun iti lasag.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
Israelitada. Naamponda, naaddaanda iti dayag, dagiti tulag, ti sagut iti linteg, ti panagdayaw iti Dios, ken dagiti karkari.
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kaputotan ida dagiti kapuonan iti iyaay ni Cristo no maipapan iti lasag—isuna a Dios iti amin. Maidaydayaw koma isuna iti agnanayon. Amen. (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.
Ngem kasla saan a nagballigi dagiti karkari ti Dios. Ta pudno a saan nga amin iti Israel ti maibilang iti Israel.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Kasta met a pudno a saan nga amin a kaputotan ni Abraham ket annakna. Ngem, “Ni Isaac ti gapuna a maawaganto dagiti kaputotam.”
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 heirs.
Dayta ket, saan nga annak ti Dios dagiti annak iti lasag. Ngem dagiti annak ti kari ket maibilang a kaputotan.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
Ta daytoy ti sao ti kari: “Umayakto iti daytoy a tiempo, ken maikkanto iti anak a lalaki ni Sara.”
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
Saan laeng a daytoy, ngem kalpasan met a nagsikug ni Rebecca babaen iti maysa a lalaki, ti amatayo a ni Isaac—
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,
ta saan pay a naipasngay dagiti ubbing ken saanpay a nakaaramid iti aniaman a naimbag wenno dakes, tapno mapasamak ti panggep ti Dios segun iti panangpilina, saan a gapu kadagiti ar-aramid, ngem gapu kenkuana a mangay-ayab—
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
naibaga kenkuana, “Pagserbianto ti inauna ti inaudi.”
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Dayta ket kas iti naisurat: “Inayatko ni Jacob, ngem ginurak ni Esau.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
Ania ngarud iti makunatayo? Adda kadi kinakillo iti Dios? Awan koma.
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.”
Gapu ta kinunana kenni Moises, “Kaasiakto ti kaasiak, ken makipagriknaakto iti pakipagriknaak.”
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Ngarud, saan a gapu kenkuana a makin pagayatan, wenno gapu kenkuana nga agtartaray, ngem gapu iti Dios, a manangngaasi.
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.”
Ta kuna iti Nasantoan a Surat kenni Faraon, “Binangonka gapu iti daytoy a panggep, tapno maiparangarangko ti pannakabalinko kenka, ken tapno maiwaragawag ti naganko iti sangalubongan.”
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Ngarud, kaasian ti Dios iti kayatna a kaasian, ken pagbalinenna a natangken ti ulo ti kayatna a patangkenen.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
Ket ibagayonto kaniak, “Apay nga adda pay laeng ti masarakanna a biddut? Ta adda kadi iti nakasupring iti pagayatanna?”
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
Ngem sika a tao, siasinoka a sumungbat maibusor iti Dios? Ibaga kadi ti nadamili iti nangdamili kenkuana, “Apay nga inaramidnak a kastoy?”
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honour, and another for dishonour?
Awan kadi karbengan ti agdamdamili a mangusar iti daga tapno agaramid iti pagkargaan para iti naisangsangayan a pakausaran manipud iti isu met laeng a daga, ken sabali a pagkargaan a mausar iti inaldaw?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
No ngay ti Dios, a situtulok a mangipakita iti pungtot ken mangipakaammo iti pannakabalinna, inan-anusanna nga inibturan dagiti pagkargaan ti pungtot a naisagana a pangdadael?
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
No ngay inaramidna daytoy tapno ipakaammona dagiti kinabaknang ti dayagna nga adda kadagiti pagkargaan ti asi, nga insagananan para iti dayag?
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
No ngay inaramidna met daytoy a maipaay kadatayo nga inayabanna, saan laeng a manipud kadagiti Judio, ngem manipud met kadagiti Hentil?
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
Kas kunana met iti Libro ni Oseas: “Awagakto a tattaok dagiti saanko a tattao, ken ti ay-ayatenna a saan a maay-ayat.
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.’”
Ket mapasamakto dayta iti lugar a nakaibagaan kadakuada, 'Saan a dakayo dagiti tattaok,' maawagandanto sadiay nga 'annak ti sibibiag a Dios.”'
27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
Ipukkaw ni Isaias maipapan iti Israel, “No ti bilang dagiti annak ti Israel ket kas iti darat ti baybay, dagitinto laeng mabati iti maisalakan.
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
Ta asidegen nga ipatungpalto ti Apo ti saona ditoy lubong
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
Ken kas iti imbaga ni Isaias idi, “No saan a nangibati ti Apo a Mannakabalin-Amin iti kaputotan para kadatayo, nagbalintayo koma a kas iti Sodoma, ken nagbalintayo koma a kas iti Gomorra.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
Ania ngarud iti makunatayo? A dagiti Hentil, a saan a mangsursurot iti kinalinteg, nagun-odda iti kinalinteg, ti kinalinteg babaen iti pammati.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
Ngem ti Israel, a nangsurot iti linteg ti kinalinteg, ket saan a dimteng iti dayta.
32 Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
Apay ta saan? Gapu ta saanda a sinurot daytoy babaen iti pammati, ngem babaen kadagiti aramid. Naitibkolda iti bato a pakaitibkolan,
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offence; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
kas iti naisurat, “Kitaenyo, mangikabilak sadiay Sion iti pakaitibkolan a bato ken dakkel a bato a pakarurodan. Saan a maibabain ti mamati iti dayta.”
