Romans 9
1 Moi Khrista te hosa kotha koi ase. Moi misa nokoi; Pobitro Atma logote moi laga bhitor atma pora moike sakhi di ase,
I am in Christ, and what I say is true. I'm not lying! My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm
2 narukhi kene moi laga monte hodai dukh aru kosto bukhi ase.
how terribly sad I am, how I have never-ending pain in my heart,
3 Kelemane mangso phale, moi nijor laga bhai khan nimite moike shrap hoi kene, Khrista pora alag kori dile bhi etu to moi laga itcha ase.
for my own people, my brothers and sisters. I would rather be cursed myself, separated from Christ, if that would help them.
4 Taikhan Israel manu khan ase. Taikhan pali-luwa bacha ase, aru mohima, kosom pora diya niyom, aru niyom laga uphar, aru Isor ke aradhana kora, aru kosom diya vachan sob taikhan logote he ase.
They are my fellow-Israelites, God's chosen people. God revealed to them his glory and made agreements with them, giving them the law, true worship, and his promises.
5 Taikhan laga baba laga khandan pora he Khrista ahise, mangso hisab te- Jun sob uporte Isor ase. Hodai karone Taike aradhana hobo dibi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
They are our forefathers—ancestors of Christ, humanly-speaking, the one who rules over everything, the eternally-blessed God. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Kintu Isor laga kosom khan to hari ja nohoi. Kelemane Israel pora aha khan sob to Israel jati pora aha nohoi.
It's not that God's promise has failed. For not every Israelite is a true Israelite,
7 Aru sob to Abraham laga asol bacha khan nohoi. Kintu “Isaac dwara tumi laga khandan laga naam hobo.”
and not all those who are descended from Abraham are his true children. For Scripture says, “Your descendants will be counted through Isaac,”
8 Etu motlob to, gaw mangso pora aha khan Isor laga bacha nohoi. Hoilebi jun bacha Isor laga kosom pora jonom hoise taikhan he Isor laga bacha khan ase.
so it's not Abraham's actual children who are counted as God's children, but only those children of God's promise who are considered his true descendants.
9 Kelemane kosom te eneka koi kene ase: “Aha saal eneka somoite, moi ghurai kene ahibo, aru ekjon bacha Sarah ke dibo.”
This is what the promise was: “I will return next year and Sarah will have a son.”
10 Khali etu he nohoi, kintu kitia amikhan laga baba Isaac dwara Rebekah bhi pet te bacha bukhi se-
In addition Rebecca's twin sons had the same father, our forefather Isaac.
11 taikhan jonom nohoi kene thakise aru biya bhal eku nakora age te, etu pora he Isor pora basi luwa hisab te aru Tai laga itcha he hobo karone,
But even before the children were born, and before they'd done anything right or wrong (so that God's purpose could continue, proving God's calling of people is not based on human performance),
12 kaam hisab te nohoi, kintu Tai kun pora mati ase - aru taike eneka koise, “Dangor pora chutu ke sewa koribo.”
she was told, “The older brother will serve the younger one.”
13 Likha thaka nisena: “Jacob ke moi morom korise, kintu Esau ke moi ghin korise.”
As Scripture says, “I chose Jacob, but rejected Esau.”
14 Tinehoile amikhan pora ki kobo? Isor logote adharmik ase naki? Kitia bhi eneka nohoi.
So what should we conclude? That God was unjust? Certainly not!
15 Kelemane Tai pora Moses ke koise, “Moi daya kora khan uporte daya koribo aru morom kora khan ke morom koribo.”
As he said to Moses, “I will be merciful to whoever I should show mercy, and I will have compassion on whoever I should show compassion.”
16 Etu karone, manu khan laga itcha pora nohoi, aru kosis kora pora nohoi, kintu Isor kun logote daya ase Tai laga itcha pora he ase.
So it does not depend on what we want, or our own efforts, but the merciful nature of God.
17 Kelemane Shastro pora Pharoah ke koise, “Etu nimite he moi tumike uthai dise, titia tumikhan uporte moi laga hokti dikhai dibo, aru eneka moi laga naam prithibi sob jagate janai dibo.”
Scripture records God saying to Pharaoh: “I put you here for a reason—so that through you I could demonstrate my power, and so that my name could be made known throughout the earth.”
18 Etu karone, kun logote Isor pora daya kori bole itcha ase, taike daya kore, kintu jun uporte Tai mon tan kori dibole itcha kore, taikhan ke mon tan kori bole diye.
So God is merciful to those he wishes to be, and hardens the attitude of those he wants to.
19 Titia apnikhan pora moike hudibo, “Kile etiya bhi Tai golti pai ase? Kun pora Tai laga itcha ke rukhabo parise?”
Now you'll argue with me and ask, “So why does he still blame us then? Who can resist the will of God?”
20 Kintu, O manu, Isor pora itcha kora kaam te alag jowab dibole manu tumi kun ase? Ki saman hath pora bonaise etu saman pora bona manu ke, “Apuni kele moike eneka bonaise eneka kobo pare naki?”
That's no way to speak, for who are you—a mere mortal—to contradict God? Can something that is created say to its creator, “Why did you make me like this?”
21 Kumar ekjon pora ki kolsi bona bole itcha ase, etu bonabo nimite mati uporte tai adhikar nohoi? Aru eke mati pora kolsi ekta sonman nimite aru dusra ekta mamuli te chola bo nimite bona bole tai adhikar ase nohoi?
Doesn't a potter have the right to use the same batch of clay to make both a decorative bowl and an everyday pot?
22 Kintu, jodi Isor he Tai laga khong dikha bole aru Tai laga hokti jonai dibole nimite itcha thakise, etu pora he Tai kolsi kunkhan nosto kori bole bonaise, eitu khan ke dhorjo korise koile?
It's as if God, wanting to demonstrate his opposition to sin and to reveal his power, bears patiently with these “pots destined for destruction,”
23 Jodi Tai pora etu kora Tai laga dhun laga mohima, kolsi khan uporte daya dikha bole korise koile, kun to Tai age pora mohima nimite bonai kene rakhidise?
so that he might reveal the greatness of his glory through these “pots of mercy” which he has prepared in advance for glory.
24 Aru jodi Tai pora etu korise, amikhan nimite jun khan ke Tai mati loise, khali Yehudi khan majot nohoi kintu Porjati khan majot pora bhi?
This is who we are—people he has called, not just from among the Jews, but from among the foreigners too...
25 Hosea kitab te Tai pora koi ase: “Kun Moi laga jati thaka nai, Moi taikhan ke Moi laga manu khan eneka matibo, Aru kun age te morom napai kene thakise, taike morom kora khan eneka matibo.
As God said in the book of Hosea, “Those who are not my people I will call my people, and those who are not loved I will call the ones I love,”
26 Aru etu jagate taikhan ke eneka bhi kobo, ‘Tumikhan moi laga manu nohoi,’ Ta te taikhan ke, “Jinda Isor laga bacha khan eneka matibo.’”
and, “It will happen that at the place where they were told, ‘You're not my people,’ there they will be called the children of the living God.”
27 Aru Israel nimite Isaiah jor pora awaj chilai kene koi ase, “Israel bacha khan samundar laga balu nisena bisi thakile bhi, Khali basi kene thaka olop jon khan ke he bachabo,
Isaiah cries out regarding Israel: “Even if the children of Israel have become as numerous as the sands of the sea, only a small number will be saved.
28 Kelemane Probhu pora prithibi uporte Tai laga kotha deri nohoi kene joldi kaam kori lobo.”
For the Lord is going to quickly and completely finish his work of judgment on the earth.”
29 Aru Isaiah pora koi thaka nisena, “Jodi sorgo Probhu pora amikhan nimite khandan rakhi diya nai koile, Amikhan bhi Sodom aru Gomorrah nisena he hobo asele.”
As Isaiah previously said, “If the Lord Almighty had not left us some descendants, we would have become just like Sodom and Gomorrah.”
30 Tinehoile, etiya amikhan pora ki kobo? Dharmikta jun to biswas pora pai, etu Porjati khan, kun pora dharmikta hobole bisara nai, taikhan pora he paise naki?
What shall we conclude, then? That even though the foreigners were not even looking to do right, they did grasp what is right, and through their trust in God did what was morally right.
31 Kintu Israel, kun he niyom pora dharmikta hobole bisarise, taikhan etu ke niyom dwara pa-a nai naki?
But the people of Israel, who looked to the law to make them right with God, never succeeded.
32 Kile huwa nai? Kelemane taikhan pora etu biswas pora bisara nai, kintu kaam kora pora he pabo eneka bhabise. Taikhan theng lagija pathor te lagi jaise,
Why not? Because they relied on what they did rather than trusting in God. They tripped on the stumbling-block,
33 eneka likha thaka nisena, “Sabi, Moi Zion te thogar kha pathor ekta rakhidi ase; aru kun pora Taike biswas kore, Tai kitia bhi sorom nahobo.”
just as Scripture predicted: “Look, I'm placing in Zion a stumbling-block, a rock that will offend people. But those who trust in him won't be disappointed.”
