Roma 9
1 Ndin bellu kidegen nan nya Kirsti, na in bellẹ kinuba, ulamiri nighe in tayi iyizi nba nan nya Nruhu Kutellẹ ulau.
I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 Indi nin liburi lisire kang nin konu in salin shizunu nan nya kibinayi nighe.
that there is great sorrow to me and incessant grief to my heart.
3 Nafo meng litinighe in yita nin su in ti litini unu in nana kitin kirsti bara nuana ning, likura ning nya kidowo.
For I would pray, that I myself might be an offering from Christ; in behalf of my brethren, my kindred according to the flesh:
4 Inun na idi Israila. Idi nin seru, nin zazunu, nin nisilin, nin liru Kutellẹ, a likawali.
who are Israelites, of whom is the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises:
5 Inighari nin na chiff nburnu minere Kirsti na dak nin toltinu nan nya kidowo- Kirsti na amerẹ kitenen vat nimon, unan nmari Kutellẹ sa lingan. Usonani. (aiōn g165)
of whom are the fathers, and of whom is Christ according to the flesh. Who is over all, God blessed forever: amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Na uwaso nafo likawali Kutellẹ nso hem. Bara na kogha na adi in Israila kidegen nere kunan Israila.
But not as that the word of God has been a failure. For these are not all Israel who are of Israel;
7 Na tutung vat kuwunun Ibrahimari di nonọ me ba. Kiti litin Ishaku timaso likura.
neither are the children all the seed of Abraham; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called;
8 Usọ, nonọ na kidowo na nonọ Kutellẹri ba. Uso nonọ likawali inugherẹ idin batuzani nonọ likure.
that is the children of the flesh the same are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 Bara ulẹ ulirẹ unalikawali ari: '' Nin ko kubẹ nma dak, nmani Saratu ku gọnọ.''
For this is the word of the promise, About this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
10 Na ulelẹ chas ba, kimalin Rabika wanin nit uwasamme, uchiff bite Ishakuw-
Not only so; but Rebecca also having cohabitation of one, our father Isaac;
11 na iwadi isa mara nonọ ba, ana isa ta imoimon i, hine sa inanzang ba, inan woro ukpilizu kibinayi Kutellẹ inbelen nferu me nan so nani, na bara kata kidowo ba, unuzu kitin nlẹ na ana yichila.
for the children not having been born, neither having done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election not of works, but of him that calleth,
12 Iwa taba ubelinghe, ''Ukune mani ubenẹ tikunẹ.''
and it was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger:
13 Udi nafo na iyerte di, ''Yakub adi kibinayi nin Isuwa inari amẹ.''
as has been written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 Iyari timabellu? Kutellẹ dini dinongha? Na nani wa yitaba. Bara awa bellin Musa ku au,
Then what shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? It could not be so.
15 “Nma dursu ujinkai kitilẹ na indi nin jinkai, Nkunekune kitilẹ na indi nin nkunekune”.
For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I do have mercy, and I will commiserate whom I do commiserate.
16 Bara nani, na ule na ana kibinayi ariba, a na ulẹ na asu uchumari ba, bara Kutellẹ ari ulẹ na adurso ujinkai.
Then it is not of him that willeth, nor him that runneth, but of God who shows mercy.
17 Uliru Kutellẹ w bellin Firauna ku, Bara ma manufẹ rẹ ina fiyafi, innanse indurso likara nighe litife, Lisa nighe nan se upiru kowe nan nya inyẹ.
For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing have I raised you up, that I may show forth my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.
18 Bara nani, a dinij jinkai kitile na ata usu, kitin le na ata usu tutun ataghe gbas.
Then therefore he has mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardens.
19 Uma belli nenge, ''Iyarin ta udin pizuru anit nin kulapi? Ghari wasa asu umusu nighe?
Then thou wilt say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?
20 Kai unit, saka uyenu, fe ghari na uma kpanu Kutellẹ? Tiwin to na ina ke ma bellu unan kewe, ''Iyari ta una keyi nenẹ?''
O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus?
21 Ani na unan ke na melenghe wasa akoso tiwin ti shife to ake kumeleng kuchine mun, to tutun a ke nkon 'mun nanzang?
Has not the potter the right of the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22 Andi Kutellẹ, dinin su adurso tinanayi me, akuru ati iyene likarame, awunno kubi nin shew kibinayi me, bara anan da wese anan mizunu tinanayi nibinayi mine.
But if God, wishing to show forth his indignation and make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of indignation having been perfected unto destruction:
23 Bara tinan yinnọ mgbardang nkune kune kibinayime liti nalẹ na inin dinin kune kune, ale nawa achiu bara a ghanti nani.
and in order that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he before prepared unto glory?
24 umunu arikẹ wang, nya nalẹ na ana yichila, na nan nya nayahudawa chasba, umunu ingisin tilem tileme vat.
whom he called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles:
25 Tutun nafo ubellu me in Hosea: “Nma yichilu anit nin alẹ na iwadi anit nin ba, nin nalẹ na indi kauna, bara na inwadi kauna mine uworsuba.
as he says in Hosea, I will call them my people, who are not my people; and her beloved, who is not beloved:
26 Tutun umanin so nenge, kiti ka na iwa yertin na anu anit nighari ba, nene ima yichimunu nọnọ Kutellẹ lai.''
and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:
27 Ishaya wa su kuchulu bara nonọn Israila, ''Andi ingbardang in nonọ Israila masin licicin kurawa, ingisinghari mase utuchu.
but Isaiah cries out in behalf of Israel, Though the number of sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
28 Bara Chikilari ma su kata nin lirume nan nya iyi ulelẹ vat na nin molu kubiba.
For perfecting the word and cutting it short, will the Lord do a complete work on the earth:
29 Nafo ubellu Ishaya na awa bellin mun. “lndafo na Ugo Kutellẹ wa sun nari ingisin nisudu ba, tiwaso nafo Usodom, tutun tiwa lawu masin Ugomorah
and as Isaiah has before spoken; Unless the Lord of Sabaoth left to us a seed, we would have become as Sodom, and would have been made like unto Gomorrah:
30 Iyari tiba ku tibellin? Awurmi na iwadi anan fiu Kutellẹ ba, nene iso anan fiu Kutellẹ bara uyinnu sa uyenu.
Then what shall we say? That the Gentiles, not pursuing righteousness, received righteousness, and the righteousness which is from faith:
31 Inun Israila na iwa dofin ushara nin fiu Kutellẹ, na iwa duru igan i. nin ba.
but Israel, following after the law, did not attain unto the law of righteousness.
32 Iyang wantin? Bara na iwa pizuru nin yinnu sa uyenuba, iwa piziru nin kata kidowo inani wa tirọ litala intirzu.
Why? Because they sought it not from faith, but as it were from works: they stumbled over the stone of stumbling,
33 Nafo na ina yertin, ''yenen in na nonko kutala in tirzu nan nyan Zion a kupara kulapi. Ule na ayinna mun na ama lanzu inchin ba.''
as has been written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: and he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
