Roomaa 9
1 Ani Kiristoosiin dhugaa nan dubbadha; ani hin sobu; yaadni koos Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan naa mirkaneessa;
I say the truth in Christ, I lye not, (my conscience bearing me witness in the holy Ghost, )
2 ani gadda guddaa fi dhiphina wal irraa hin cinne garaa koo keessaa qaba.
that I have great grief and continual sorrow in my heart:
3 Ani iyyuu obboloota koo warra akka fooniitti sanyii koo taʼaniif jedhee utuun Kiristoos irraa gargar baʼee abaaramee nan hawwa tureetii;
for I could wish that I myself were made a curse after the manner of Christ, for my brethren, my kindred according to the flesh;
4 isaan saba Israaʼel. Ilmummaan, ulfinni, kakuun, seera fudhachuun, tajaajiluu fi waadaan kan isaanii ti.
who are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the form of divine worship, and the promises:
5 Abbootiin kan isaanii ti; Kiristoosis isaan irraa fooniin dhalate; inni waan hunda irratti Waaqa; inni bara baraan haa eebbifamu! Ameen. (aiōn g165)
whose are the fathers, and of whom, as to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Kun garuu dubbiin Waaqaa diigameera jechuu miti. Kan Israaʼel irraa dhalate hundi Israaʼel miti.
Not that the word of God hath failed. For they are not all Israel, who are descended from Israel.
7 Yookaan isaan sababii sanyii Abrahaam taʼaniif hundi isaanii ijoollee isaa miti. Garuu, “Sanyiin kee Yisihaaqiin siif waamama” jedhameera.
Nor because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children of promise: but "in Isaac shall thy seed be called."
8 Kana jechuunis ijoollee waadaatu sanyiitti lakkaaʼama malee ijoolleen foon irraa dhalatan ijoollee Waaqaa miti.
That is, not the children of the flesh are the children of God, but the children of the promise are accounted for the seed.
9 Dubbiin waadaa sunis kan, “Ani yeroo murteeffametti deebiʼee nan dhufa; Saaraanis ilma ni deessi” jedhu tureetii.
For this is the word of the promise, "According to this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son:"
10 Kana qofa miti; Ribqaan yeroo namuma tokkoof, abbaa keenya Yisihaaqiif ulfooftetti,
and not to her only; but Rebecca also being with child by our father Isaac,
11 ijoolleen sun utuu hin dhalatin yookaan utuu waan gaarii yookaan waan hamaa hin hojjetin akka kaayyoon filannoo Waaqaa raawwatamuuf,
(when the children were not yet born, nor had done either good or evil, that the purpose of God according to his choice might abide, not on account of works, but of Him that calleth, ) it was said to her, the elder shall serve the younger:
12 utuu hojiin hin taʼin isa waamicha Waaqaatiin, “Inni hangafni isa quxisuu tajaajila” jedhamee isheetti himame.
as it is written,
13 Kunis akkuma, “Yaaqoobin nan jaalladhe; Esaawun garuu nan jibbe” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
"I loved Jacob and I hated Esau."
14 Egaa maal jenna ree? Waaqni jalʼaadhaa? Gonkumaa akkas miti!
What shall we say then? Is there injustice in God?
15 Inni Museedhaan, “Ani kanan maaru nan maara; kanan garaa laafuufiis garaa nan laafa” jedhaatii.
God forbid! 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."
16 Kanaafuu wanti kun araara Waaqaatiin malee hawwii yookaan carraaqqii namaatiin miti.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17 Katabbiin qulqulluun Faraʼooniin, “Ani humna koo sirratti argisiisuuf, maqaan koos akka lafa hunda irratti labsamuuf kaayyoo kanaaf si kaaseera” jedhaatii.
And the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, for this very purpose have I raised thee up, that I may shew forth my power in thee, and that my name may be declared through all the earth.
18 Kanaaf Waaqni kan maaruu barbaadu ni maara; kan mata jabeessa gochuu barbaadu immoo mata jabeessa godha.
So then He hath mercy on whom He pleaseth, and whom He will, He hardeneth.
19 Isinis, “Yoos Waaqni maaliif amma iyyuu dogoggora nurra barbaada? Fedhii isaas eenyutu mormuu dandaʼa?” naan jettu.
Thou wilt say then, Why doth he yet blame us? who hath resisted his will?
20 Garuu yaa namichoo, Waaqaan mormuuf ati eenyu? “Wanti tolfame tokko kan isa tolcheen, ‘Ati maaliif akkanatti na tolchite?’” jedhaa?
Nay but, O man, who art thou, that disputest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
21 Suphee dhooftuun tokko dhoqqee suphee kan bukaaʼe irraa qodaa ulfinaa fi salphinaaf oolu tolchuuf mirga hin qabuu?
Hath not the potter power over the clay, out of the same mass to make one vessel to honor and another to dishonor?
22 Waaqni dheekkamsa isaa argisiisuu fi humna isaas beeksisuuf jedhee yoo miʼa dheekkamsaa kanneen badiisaaf qopheeffaman obsa guddaan bira darbe hoo?
And what if God, though resolved to shew his displeasure at last, and to make known his power, yet bore with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction?
23 Inni badhaadhummaa ulfina isaa yoo miʼa araara isaa kanneen duraan dursee ulfinaaf qopheessetti beeksisuuf jedhee waan kana godhe hoo?
and that He might make known the riches of his glory in the vessels of mercy, which He hath prepared for glory?
24 Nus warra waamaman keessaa tokkoo dha; inni Yihuudoota qofa keessaa utuu hin taʼin Namoota Ormaa keessaas waameera.
whom He hath also called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.
25 Inni kitaaba Hooseʼaa keessatti akkana jedha: “Ani warra saba koo hin taʼiniin, ‘saba koo’ nan jedha; ishee jaallatamtuu hin taʼiniin immoo, ‘jaallatamtuu’ nan jedha.”
As He saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.
26 Akkasumas isaan, “Iddoodhuma itti, ‘Isin saba koo miti’ isaaniin jedhame sanatti, ‘ilmaan Waaqa jiraataa’ jedhamanii ni waamamu.”
And 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.
27 Isaayyaas akkana jedhee waaʼee Israaʼel iyya: “Baayʼinni ilmaan Israaʼel yoo akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa taʼe iyyuu, hambaa qofatu fayya.
And Esaias crieth out concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved.
28 Gooftaan utuu hin turin, yeroo dhumaatiif lafa irratti ni muraatii.”
For in finishing the account and cutting it short in righteousness, the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.
29 Kunis akkuma Isaayyaas duraan dursee akkana jedhee dubbatee dha: “Utuu Gooftaan Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, sanyii nuuf hambisuu baatee, nu silaa akkuma Sodoom taanee, Gomoraas fakkaanna turre.”
And as Esaias said before, "Except the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and we had been made like unto Gomorrah."
30 Egaa maal jenna ree? Namoonni Ormaa kan qajeelummaa duukaa hin buʼin qajeelummaa karaa amantiitiin taʼe argataniiru.
What shall we say then? that the Gentiles, who sought not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith;
31 Israaʼeloonni seera qajeelummaa duukaa buʼan garuu qajeelummaa hin arganne.
but Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness: why?
32 Maaliif dhaban? Kunis sababii isaan utuu karaa amantiitiin hin taʼin hojiidhaan qajeelummaa argachuu barbaadaniif; isaanis dhagaa nama gufachiisuun gufatan.
because they sought it not by faith, but by the works of the law, for they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;
33 Kunis akkuma, “Kunoo, ani dhagaa nama gufachiisu, kattaa nama kuffisu Xiyoon keessa nan kaaʼa; namni isatti amanu gonkumaa hin qaanaʼu” jedhamee barreeffame sanaa dha.
as it is written, "Behold I lay in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence:" and again, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."
