Erromatarrei 9
1 Eguia diot Christean, eztiot gueçurric, neure conscientiác halaber testificatzen drautalaric Spiritu sainduaz,
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 Ecen tristitia handia, eta tormenta ardurazcoa dudala neure bihotzean.
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 Ecen desir nuque ni neuror Christganic separatua nincén neure anayeacgatic, cein baitirade ene ahaide haraguiaren arauez:
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Cein baitirade Israeltár: ceinena baita adoptionea, eta gloriá, eta alliançác, eta Leguearen ordenançá, eta cerbitzu diuinoa eta promessac:
Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Ceinenac baitirade Aitác, eta hetaric da Christ haraguiaren arauez, cein baita gauça gucién gaineco Iainco, eternalqui benedicatua. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Badaric-ere ecin date Iaincoaren hitza erori den: ecen eztirade Israeleco diraden guciac, Israel.
Not as though the word of God has taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Eta ceren Abrahamen haci diraden eztirade halacotz guciac haour, baina Isaactan haci deithuren çaic hiri.
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called.
8 Erran nahi da, eztiradela haraguiaren haour diradenac, halacotz Iaincoaren haour: baina promessaren haour diradenac estimatzen diradela hacitan.
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 Ecen promessaren hitza haur da, Dembora hunetan ethorriren naiz, eta Sarac vkanen du semebat.
For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 Eta ez haur solament, baina Rebeccac-ere batganic concebitu çuenean, baitzén, gure aita Isaacganic.
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 Ecen oraino haourrac sorthu gabe, eta hec vnguiric ez gaizquiric eguin gabe (Iaincoaren ordenançá electionearen araura legoençát,
(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls; )
12 Ez obrén baina deitzen duenaren partez) erran içan çayon hari, Guehienac cerbitzaturen din chipiena.
It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 Scribatua den beçala, Iacob onhetsi dut eta Esau gaitzetsi.
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 Cer beraz erranen dugu? Ala da iniustitiaric Iaincoa baithan? Guertha eztadila.
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 Ecen Moysesi erraiten drauca, Pietate vkanen diát pietate eguin nahi vkanen draucadanaz, eta misericordia eguinen diarocat misericordia eguin nahi vkanen draucadanari.
For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 Halacotz beraz electionea ezta nahi duenaren, ez laster eguiten duenaren, baina Iainco misericordia eguiten duenaren.
So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
17 Ecen badiotsa Scripturác Pharaori, Hunetacotz ber suscitatu aut, eracuts deçadançát hitan neure botherea, eta denuntia dadinçát ene icena lur gucian.
For the scripture says to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Beraz nahi duenari misericordia eguiten drauca, eta nahi duena gogortzen du.
Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
19 Erranen drautac bada niri, Cergatic oraino arranguratzen da? ecen nor da haren vorondateari resisti ahal dieçaqueona?
You will say then to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?
20 Bainaitzitic, o guiçoná, hi nor aiz Iaincoaren contra replicatzen duana? Ala erranen drauca gauça moldatuac hura moldatu duenari, Cergatic hunelaco eguin nauc?
No but, O man, who are you that reply against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?
21 Ala eztu lur-tupinaguileac orhe ber batetaric eguiteco bothere, vnci bataren ohoretaco, eta bercearen desohoretaco?
Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?
22 Eta cer da, baldin eracutsi nahiz Iaincoac hirá, eta eçagut eraci nahiz bere botherea, suffritu baditu patientia handitan hirazco vnci galtzecotzat apprestatuac?
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 Eta bere gloriazco abrastassunén eçagut eraciteco misericordiazco vnci gloriataco apprestatu dituenetara?
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared to glory,
24 Cein deithu-ere baititu diot gu, ez solament Iuduetaric, baina Gentiletaric-ere.
Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 Nola Osea baithan-ere erraiten baitu, Deithuren dut ene populu etzena, neure populu: eta niçaz onhetsi etzena, neure onhetsi.
As he says also in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 Eta içanen da, erran içan çayen lekuan, Etzarete ene populu çuec, han deithuren baitirade Iainco viciaren haour.
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Esaias-ere oihuz dago Israelen gainean, Israeleco haourrén contua itsassoco sablea beçala licen orduan, restançác dirade saluaturen
Isaiah also cries concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 Ecen Iaunac acabatzen eta laburtzen du beharquia iustitiarequin: ceren beharqui laburtubat eguinen baitu Iaunac lurraren gainean.
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make on the earth.
29 Eta lehen Esaiasec erran çuen beçala, Baldin armadén Iaunac vtzi ezpaleraucu hacia, Sodoma beçalacatu guinatequeen, eta Gomorrha irudi vkan guenduqueen.
And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like to Gomorrha.
30 Cer beraz erranen dugu? Ecen Gentil iustitiari etzarreitzanéc, iustitia ardietsl vkan dutela: etare iustitia fedezcoa:
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 Baina Israel, iustitiazco Legueari çarreicalaric, iustitiazco Leguera eztela heldu içan.
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Cergatic? ceren ezpaita haur içan fedez, baina Legueco obréz beçala: ecen behaztopatu içan dirade behaztopagarrico harrian.
Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;
33 Scribatua den beçala, Huná, eçarten dut Sionen behaztopagarrico harria, eta trebucagarrico harria: eta nor-ere baita hura baithan sinhesten duena, ezta confus içanen.
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offense: and whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
