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 tell the truth in Messiah. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 Indi nin liburi lisire kang nin konu in salin shizunu nan nya kibinayi nighe.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in 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 could wish that I myself were accursed from Messiah for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives according to the flesh,
4 Inun na idi Israila. Idi nin seru, nin zazunu, nin nisilin, nin liru Kutellẹ, a likawali.
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, 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 patriarchs, and from whom is the Messiah, as concerning 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 it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.
7 Na tutung vat kuwunun Ibrahimari di nonọ me ba. Kiti litin Ishaku timaso likura.
Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants be called."
8 Usọ, nonọ na kidowo na nonọ Kutellẹri ba. Uso nonọ likawali inugherẹ idin batuzani nonọ likure.
That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
9 Bara ulẹ ulirẹ unalikawali ari: '' Nin ko kubẹ nma dak, nmani Saratu ku gọnọ.''
For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
10 Na ulelẹ chas ba, kimalin Rabika wanin nit uwasamme, uchiff bite Ishakuw-
And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by 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 being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
12 Iwa taba ubelinghe, ''Ukune mani ubenẹ tikunẹ.''
it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
13 Udi nafo na iyerte di, ''Yakub adi kibinayi nin Isuwa inari amẹ.''
Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
14 Iyari timabellu? Kutellẹ dini dinongha? Na nani wa yitaba. Bara awa bellin Musa ku au,
What should we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.
15 “Nma dursu ujinkai kitilẹ na indi nin jinkai, Nkunekune kitilẹ na indi nin nkunekune”.
For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
16 Bara nani, na ule na ana kibinayi ariba, a na ulẹ na asu uchumari ba, bara Kutellẹ ari ulẹ na adurso ujinkai.
So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has 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 purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
18 Bara nani, a dinij jinkai kitile na ata usu, kitin le na ata usu tutun ataghe gbas.
So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
19 Uma belli nenge, ''Iyarin ta udin pizuru anit nin kulapi? Ghari wasa asu umusu nighe?
You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands 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?''
But who indeed are you, a human being, to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"
21 Ani na unan ke na melenghe wasa akoso tiwin ti shife to ake kumeleng kuchine mun, to tutun a ke nkon 'mun nanzang?
Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for 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.
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,
23 Bara tinan yinnọ mgbardang nkune kune kibinayime liti nalẹ na inin dinin kune kune, ale nawa achiu bara a ghanti nani.
and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
24 umunu arikẹ wang, nya nalẹ na ana yichila, na nan nya nayahudawa chasba, umunu ingisin tilem tileme vat.
us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
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 also in Hosea, "I will call them which were not my people 'my people,' and her who was not loved, 'loved.'"
26 Tutun umanin so nenge, kiti ka na iwa yertin na anu anit nighari ba, nene ima yichimunu nọnọ Kutellẹ lai.''
"It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'children of the living God.'"
27 Ishaya wa su kuchulu bara nonọn Israila, ''Andi ingbardang in nonọ Israila masin licicin kurawa, ingisinghari mase utuchu.
And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be kept safe.
28 Bara Chikilari ma su kata nin lirume nan nya iyi ulelẹ vat na nin molu kubiba.
For he will fulfill the word and decisively in righteousness, because the Lord will carry out the word decisively 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
As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah."
30 Iyari tiba ku tibellin? Awurmi na iwadi anan fiu Kutellẹ ba, nene iso anan fiu Kutellẹ bara uyinnu sa uyenu.
What should we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
31 Inun Israila na iwa dofin ushara nin fiu Kutellẹ, na iwa duru igan i. nin ba.
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.
32 Iyang wantin? Bara na iwa pizuru nin yinnu sa uyenuba, iwa piziru nin kata kidowo inani wa tirọ litala intirzu.
Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
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.''
even as it is written, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock to trip over; and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."
