Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
Nmaadi moamoani Kilisiti nni mii pua faama, U TIENU Fuoma yua teni ke n pali siedi moko saa li po moamoani.
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
N ye leni ti pabiidiciandi leni ti yanyagiciandi yogunu kuli.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
Kelima n bi baa sugini ki tua ti solindi yua ki paadi leni Kilisiti n kpiiba ya po, yaaba n kpi leni nni ti gbanandi nni.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
ISALELE buolu yaaba, U TIENU n den gandi ya nibuolu ki teni ke bi tua o bimoanmu, ki doagidi bi po O kpiagidi, ki kuani o ŋantaado leni ba ki teni ba O balimaama, ki doagidi bi po ban baa jaandi O maama, ki niani ba u ñoanianu.
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)
Li tie ti yaajanba puoli ŋuani, KILISITI moko den mali bi ya buolun nne ti gbanandi po, wani yua n die li bonla kuli; U TIENU n baa li ŋali ya yogunu kuli. AMINA! (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.
Laa go tie ke U TIENU maama ki go pia mayuli ka. Kelima yaaba n mali ki tie ISALELE puoli ŋuani, bi kuli ka tie ISALELE buolu yaaba moamoani.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Kelima bi tie ABALAHAMA puoli ŋuani yeni naa teni ke bi tie o bimoanmu. Kelima U TIENU den yedi ABALAHAMA: Isaaka puoli ŋuani baa tie a buolu.
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.
Lani n bua ki yedi ke laa tie yaaba n mali nani bi nisaaliba kuli mali maama ka tie U TIENU bila. Ama yaaba n mali nani U TIENU ñoanianu n bili maama n tie O buolu moamoani.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
Diidi U TIENU ñoanianu n tie na: u naa yogunu ya pundi n ba guani ki cua, Sala baa maa bonjaga.
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
LANI bebe ka, Lobeka moko yaapo li den tie yeni leni O bilieda yaaba n den pia baa yendo, lani n tie ti yaaja Isaaka.
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,
ŋali ke bi daa den mali laa bila ke bi daa tieni yaala n ŋani bi yaala n bia, ke U TIENU den tuodi ki jagi yaala n ya ye, ki ŋua O gandima
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
ki naa ŋoadi a tuona, ama ki ŋua U TIENU yiinu, U TIENU den yedi Lobeka:
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Han baa yuandi ki maa yua baa die ŋan baa kpa maa yua, nani lan diani maama: N den bua Jakoabo ki nani Esayu.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
Ti ba yedi lede? U TIENU ki tiegi bii? yeni ka.
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.”
Kelima O den yedi Muusa: N baa gba mi niñima min bua ki ya gba yua yaa po mi niñima, N baa ya dingidi n pali min bua ki ya dingidi n pali yua ya po.
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Lanwani laa ŋua o nilo n bua yaala, laa ŋua o mondili mo, ama li ŋua U TIENU niñingbadima.
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.”
Li diani Falono moko yaa po ki yedi: min yini a ki teni ke a tua badiciamo yaala yaapo tie ke n bua ki doagidi n paalu kelima a yaapo ki go teni n yeli n ña ŋanduna kuli nni kelima a yaapo.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Lanwani U TIENU gba mi niñima wan bua ki ya gba yua yaapo mi niñima, ki go juagi wan bua ki juagi yua ya pali.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
Dalinba yi siiga yendo baa guani ki yedi nni: be yaapo ke U TIENU go fu leni ti? kelima ŋmee n ba fidi ki yie U yanbuama.
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?”
Fini o nisaalo a tie ŋmee ki ba nia leni U TIENU? naani ban maa ya tiagu ba yedi yua n maa gu: be yaapo ke a maa nni nanda?
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
O maado ki pia li bali ki taa ku yoagu ki tieni wan bua yaala yo? O kan ñani yoagikonyenli nni ki ma ya tiagu n baa ye li tuonkpiagili po leni ya tiagu n baa ye li tuonfanli po yoo?
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,
U TIENU mo den bua ki doagidi O pabienli ki teni bi niba n bandi O paalu. Lani yaapo n den juuni ke li waagi leni ya niba n tie nani ya tiadi n tie li tuonfanli po bani yaaba n den pundi U TIENU n cuo ki bolini ba.
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
U TIENU den tieni yeni ki baa doagidi O kpiagidi n yaba maama ya niba n tie nani wan den gbadi ya tiadi po mi niñima ya po wan den tuodi ki ŋanbi yaaba ke ban taani leni o O kpiagidi nni?
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
Lani n tie tinba wan yini yaaba. Waa yini ti yaaba n tie jufinba siiga bebe ka. Ama o go yini ti yaaba n kaa tie jufinba moko y siiga.
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.”
Nani wan yedi maama Ose tili nni: yaa nibuolu n kaa den tie n nibuolu, n baa yi ba n nibuolu, min kaa den bua ya nibuolu yeni, n baa yi ba n buakaaba.
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.’”
Ban den tua ya nibuolu siiga, yii tie n nibuolu, lankani lige bi baa yi ba U TIENU yua n fo ya bijaba.
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;
O sawalipualo Esayi moko kpaani ki maadi Isalele buolu maama ki yedi: ba Isalele buolu yaaba ya yaba nani mi ñincianma tanbiima yeni, nitianba bebe n baa faabi.
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
Kelima O DIEDO baa tieni wan den yedi yaala ki tinga nni ki juodi ke li kan waagi.
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.”
Li baa tie nani Esayi n kpa yedi maama: O Diedo U TIENU bi toatieba yudaano ya ki den cedi ti siiga nitianba sieni, ti den ba tua nani Sodoma yaaba yeni, ki go tua nani Gomola yaaba yeni.
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;
Lanwani ti baa yedi lede? bi nilanba yaaba n kaa liongi mi teginma, bani n baa li moamoansaali kelima li dandanli yaa po.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
Ama Isalele buolu yaaba, yaaba n den lingi ki bua ki baa li moamoansaali kelima li balimaama kubima yaa po naa baa.
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,
Be yaapo, kelima baa den lingi ki baa baa kelima li dandanli yaa po, ama bi den lingi ki bua ki baa li kelima bi tuona po. Lani bi den tuudi li tantuudikaali.
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
Nani lan diani maama: Diidi n bili Siyono kani li tantuudikaali, yaa tancianli n ba teni bi niba n baa yeni. Ama yua n dugi o po kuli kan le i fe ŋali abada.
