Men Rom 9
1 NGAI kin lokaia melel ren Kristus, o i sota kin likam, pwe insen ai o Ngen saraui kadede ia da,
Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 Me i kin patautau o insensued nan mongiong i kaukaule.
that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart —
3 Pwe pein ngai inong iong en riala, pwen dooki wei sang Kristus pweki ri ai kan ni pali uduk.
for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ — for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,
4 Iei men Israel me udan seri en Kot, me ar lingan, o inau kan, o kapung, o upa Kot, o kokop akan mia,
who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
5 Me samaneki sam atail akan me Kristus pil tapi sang ia ni pali uduk a, me poedi meakaros, iei Kot me iasanai kokolata, amen. (aiōn g165)
whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Pwe kaidin dene masan en Kot so pwaida, pwe kaidin karos men Israel, me tikidar Israel;
And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;
7 Pil kaidin karos seri kan, me kisan kadaudok en Apraam; pwe sang ren Isaak kadaudok om pan tapi sang ia.
nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but — 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
8 Ari, kaidin irail seri en Kot akan, me seri kan ni tiak en uduk, a seri en inau kan pan wad ong kadaudok o.
that is, the children of the flesh — these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
9 Pwe i masan, masan en inau eu: Ni ansau o I pan kodo, a Sara pan naitikada seri ol amen.
for the word of promise [is] this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
10 A kaidin i eta, pwe pil Repeka lao lisean ong sam atail Isaak.
And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one — Isaac our father —
11 Pwe ni ansau seri ko kaikenta ipwidier, o pil kaikenta wiadar meakot mau de me sued, o pwe kupur en Kot en pwaida, kaidin ni wiawia a ni lipilipil ren me piladar o,
(for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling, ) it was said to her —
12 A kotin masani ong i: Me laud o pan papa me tikitik!
'The greater shall serve the less;'
13 Duen a intingidier: Iakop me I pok ong er, a Esau me I likidmalielar.
according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'
14 Ari, da me kitail en inda? Kot me sapung? O so!
What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!
15 Pwe a kotin masani ong Moses: I pan maki ong, me I men maki ong, o I pan pokepoke, me I men pokepoke.
for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'
16 Ari, sota katepa, ma amen pan pein inong iong de tange wei, a ma Kot pan kotin maki ong amen.
so, then — not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
17 Pwe kisin likau me katitiki ong Parao: Nan iet me I kilele uk adar, pwe I en kasale kida uk ai manaman, o pwe mar ai en indandeki sili ni sap akan karos.
for the Writing saith to Pharaoh — 'For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
18 Ari, a kin kotin maki ong, me a kotin kupura, ap kapitakaila, duen me a kotin mauki.
so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
19 Koe ap pan indang ia: Ari da me a kailong kin ia? Pwe is me kak palian kupur a?
Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
20 Ei melel aramas koe, is koe, me men palian Kot? Da, dipisou pan indai ong me wiadar i: Menda koe wiai ong ia momuei?
nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?
21 Pala saun wiada dal sota manaman ong, en wia kida lopon en pwel ota dal eu me kaselel, de eu me sakanekan?
hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
22 A Kot kotin kanongama ong dal sued akan, me wiauier ong lokidokila, ni a men kasaleda a ongiong o manaman,
And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
23 O a pil men kotin kasaleda a dir en lingan ki dal en a mak kan, me a kotin kaonopadar mas o en linganla.
and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call — us —
24 Iei kitail, me a kotin warongdo, kaidin sang ren Sus akan eta, a pil sang ren men liki kan.
not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
25 Duen a pil kotin masanier nan puk en Osea: I pan kaadaneki irail, me kaidin nai, nai aramas akan, o me so kompoke pai, kompoke pai.
as also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what [is] not My people — My people; and her not beloved — Beloved,
26 A pan wiaui wasa o me a loki ong irail: Komail kaidin nai aramas, i wasa re pan adaneki seri en Kot ieias.
and it shall be — in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.'
27 A Iesaia likelikwir duen men Israel: Ma seri en Israel akan pan rasong pik en oror, lua ta pan maurela.
And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;
28 Pwe a pan kotin kairela sapwilim a dodok o kamode kila ni a pung, pwe Kaun o pan kotin wiada dok motomot nin sappa.
for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.
29 O duen Iesaia masanier mas o: Ma Kaun Sepaot so nikideki ong kitail kaparapar, kitail pan dueta Sodom o Komora.
and according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'
30 Ari, da me kitail en inda duen men liki kan me sota rapaki pung, re diaradar pung, a pung eu, me tapi sang poson.
What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
31 A men Israel me inong iong kapwaiada kusoned en pung, ap sota konodi kusoned wet.
and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;
32 Pwekida? Pweki a sota tapi sang ni poson a ni wiawia kan, pwe irail dipikelekeleki takai en dipikelekel.
wherefore? because — not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,
33 Duen a intingidier: Kilang, I pasonedi takai eu nan Sion, takai en dipikelekel eu o paip en kamakar. A me pan poson i, a sota pan sarodi.
according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
