Roma Yaaba 9
1 N maadi mɔmɔni Krisiti nni, mini ki pua faama U Tienu fuoma wangi nni ke n ki pia faama.
I say the truth in Meshiha, and lie not; my conscience witnesseth for me in the Spirit of Holiness,
2 N ye yeni ti yanyagiciandi yeni li pabɔnli yogunukuli.
that I have great grief, and (that) the sorrow of my heart ceaseth not.
3 kelima n bi baa bua ban solini nni ki paadi nni yeni Krisiti, n kpiiba yapo, yaaba n kpi yeni ti gbannandi nni yaa ŋamu po.
For I could pray that I myself might be one accursed from Meshiha instead of my brethren and my kinsmen who are in the flesh;
4 Bani Isalele buolu buudi yaaba, U Tienu den cedi ke bi tua bimɔnmu, ki dɔgidi bi po o kpiagidi, ki kuani i yantaadi yeni ba, ki tieni ba o bali maama, ki dɔgidi bi po ban baa jaandi o maama, ki niani ba o ñɔniagu.
who are the sons of Israel, and whose was the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law, and the ministry, and the promises,
5 Bi tie ti yaja nba puoli ŋuani, Krisiti moko den mali li yaa buolu nni ti gbannandi po. Wani yua n die bonla kuli. U Tienu n pagidi hali yaa yogunu kuli, Amina (aiōn g165)
and the fathers; and from whom appeared the Meshiha in the flesh, who is Aloha over all: his be praises and benedictions to the age of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Mii bua yedi ke U Tienu ñɔnianu kipia mayuli ka. Kelima yaaban mali ki tie Isalele puoli ŋuani, bi kuli ka tie Isalele buolu yaaba mɔmɔni.
FOR the word of Aloha hath not really fallen: for not all who are of Israel are Israel;
7 Laa gɔ tie Abrahama puoli ŋuani kuli ka tie o bi mɔnmu. Ama li yedi: «Isaka puoliŋuani n baa tie a buolu»
neither also are they who are of the seed of Abraham all children; because it was said, In Ishok shall be called unto thee the seed:
8 Li bua yedi ke laa tie yaaba mali nani bi nisaaliba kuli n maa maama n ba tie U Tienu bila. Ama yaaba n mali nani wani U Tienu n bili u ŋɔnianu maama n tie o buolu mɔmɔni.
but that is, the children of the flesh are not the children of Aloha, but the children of the promise are reckoned the seed.
9 U Tienu n bu niani yaa ñɔnianu n tie ne: «Binli, tin ye yaa yogunu ne yaa pundi, n baa guani ki cua, sala ba maali i bonjaga.»
For the promise is this word, In this time I will come, and a son shall be unto Sara.
10 Ama lani baba ka, Rebeka yeni Isaaka den taani bi yaaba ki mali a sanpola bilie.
And not this only, but also Raphka when with one, our father Ishok, she had association,
11 Li bilieda daa den ke cua li ŋandunli nni, ki buali ban tieni ti tuonbiadi lani yaa kaa a tuonŋanma ke U Tienu den gandi ba ke lan togini bi tuona po, ama li den ñani U Tienu yua yi wanbua yua kani.
before her sons were born, and had not wrought good or evil, the (choice) of Aloha was (made) known before that it should remain: not by works, but by him who called:
12 U Tienu den yedi Rebeka: «ŋan baa kpaa ki mali yua baa tuo ke daa tie nacenbiga.»
for it was said, The elder shall be servant to the less;
13 Li ba tieni nani lan diani maama: «N den bua Jakobo ki nani Esyu»
as it is written, Jakub have I loved, and Isu have I hated.
14 Lanwani, ti baa yedi be? U Tienu ki tiegi ba? yeni ka.
What then say we? Is there iniquity with Aloha? Not so:
15 U Tienu den yedi Musa: «N baa gbia mi ninñinma min bua yua yapo. N gɔ baa li palisiadili min buayua yapo.
behold, also, he said unto Musha, I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious.
16 Lanwani, laa ñani yua bua naani kani kaa, bii o mɔndilipo ka, ama li ñani U Tienu niñingbadima po.
Therefore it is not by him who willeth, nor by him who runneth, but by Aloha the Merciful.
17 kelima li diani ki yedi Farawon: «N yeni a ke a tua o badiciamo yaala yapo tie ke n bua min dɔgini n paalu kelima a yapo, ki gɔ cedi n yeli n pundi ŋanduna kuli nni kelima a yapo.
For it is said in the scripture to Pherun, For this I have raised thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
18 Lanwani U Tienu gbia mi niñima wan bua yua yapo ki gɔ juadi li paliwan bua yua ya pali.
Then upon whom he willeth he is merciful, and whom he willeth he hardeneth.
19 Yendo bu guani ke yedi nni: Be yapo ke U Tienu fu yeni ti? kelima ŋma n baa fidi ki yie o yanbuama?
Perhaps thou wilt say, Of what then doth he complain; for who shall arise against his will?
20 Fini o nisaalo, a tie ŋma ke baa nia yeni U Tienu? U tiagu baa tuo yedi o tiamaalo ke: «Be yapo ke a maa n nni nanda?
Who then art thou, O man, who givest answer against Aloha? Will the mass say to him who formeth it, Why thus hast thou formed me?
21 o tiamaalo ki pia li bali yeni wan ñani yɔgikonyenli nni ki maa yaa tiagu n ba tuuni li tuonli mɔnli, ki ñani laa yɔgikonyenli nni ki maa yaa tiagu n kan tuuni tuon mɔnli.
Or, hath not the potter power over his clay, that from the (same) mass he might make vessels, the one to honour, and the other to vileness?
22 Ti ji baa maadi be, U Tienu bua wan waani o pabienli ke dɔgidi u paalu ama ke nan cuo o ba bonciala ke yaabu ke dagidi, o mutuoli
BUT if Aloha, willing to reveal his wrath, and to make known his power, in his much patience bore with the vessels of wrath who were perfected for destruction,
23 kelima u bua wan dɔgi o kpiagidi n yabi maama yaa niba n tie nani wan den gbadi yaa tiadi po n ninñima wan den tuodi ke gandi yaaba ke ban taani yeni o o kpiagidi nni.
and poured his mercy upon the vessels of mercy who were prepared of Aloha for glory,
24 Lanwani wa yini ti Sufinba siiga baba ka, ama o yini ti yaaba n ki tie Sufinba moko siiga.
who are we, (ourselves) the called, not only of the Jihudoyee, but also of the Gentiles:
25 Nani wan yedi o sawalipualo Ose tili maama: «N baa yeni yaa nibuoli n ki tie n buolu niba, ke gɔ yini yaa buoli ki mii bua baa min bua yaaba»
so also in Husha he said, I will call them my people who were not my people, and on those on whom I was not merciful, will I be merciful:
26 Li baa tieni yeni bi po nani kani ke yedi ba: «yii tie n buolu» Lankani bi yini ba: «U Tienu yua fuo bijaba»
for it shall be in the place where they were not called my people, there shall they be called the children of Aloha the Living.
27 O sawalipualo Esayi den kpaandi ki maadi Isayeli ki yedi: «Isirayeli buolu yaa tie nani n ñincianma tanbini yeni, yaaba n baa tindi baa tie waamu.
But Eshaia proclaims of the sons of Israel: Though the number of the sons of Israel were as the sand which is on the sea, the residue of them shall be saved.
28 kelima O Diedo ba tieni ki juodi i tinga nni wan den yedi yaala ke li kan waagi»
The Lord hath decreed and determined the word, and will perform it upon the earth.
29 Li baa tie nani Esayi n kpia maama ki yedi: Li miali Diedo u paciamu kuli daani o yua den cedi ke ti ti siiga nitianba sieni, ti buolu den baa bodi tn tua nani Sodomi yeni Gomori yaaba yeni.
And as that which Eshaia had said before: Unless the Lord of sebaoth had left to us a residue, as Sedum should we have been, and to Amura have been likened.
30 Lanwani ti baa yedi ledi? Yaa nibuoli n ki tie Isirayeli yaaba ki den lingi n teginma laa n teginma bi dandanli po.
WHAT then shall we say? That the Gentiles who have not followed after righteousness have attained righteousness, but that righteousness which is of faith:
31 Ama Isirayeli buolu yaaba den lingi n teginmakelima li bali maama kubima po naa den baa.
but Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, unto the law of righteousness have not attained.
32 Be yaapo ke baa den laa n teginma? Baa den lingi ki baa kelima li dandanli yapo. Lanwani bi den tuudi li tantuudikaala.
For why? Because it was not by faith, but by the works of the law: for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
33 Nan lan diani maama: «diidi ke laa, n bili siyoa juali kani yaa tanli n baa cedi bi niba n baa, Ama yua n dugi o po kuli, o kan laa i fe baa yaa daali n cuoni.»
as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling And a rock of offence; And whosoever in him shall believe Shall not be ashamed.
