Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
KE olelo aku nei au i ka oiaio ma Kristo, aole o'u hoopunipuni, a o kuu lunamanao kekahi e hoike nei ia'u, ma ka Uhane Hemolele;
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
He kaumaha nui ko'u a me ka ehaeha mau ma kuu naau.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
No ka mea, he pono i kuu manao e okiia mai au, mai o Kristo mai, no kuu poe hoahanau, na hanauna o'u ma ke kino.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
He poe Iseraela lakou, ia lakou ka hookamaia, a me ka nani, a me na berita, a me ka haawi ana mai i ke kanawai, a me ka hoomana, a me na olelo pomaikai;
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
No lakou hoi ka poe kupuna, a na lakou mai hoi o Kristo ma ke kino, oia no maluna o na mea a pau, ke Akua hoomaikai mau loa ia. Amene. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
Aole nae i haule wale ka olelo a ke Akua. No ka mea, aole ka poe Iseraela lakou a pau na Iseraela mai:
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Aole hoi he poe keiki lakou a pau ka poe mamo na Aberahama mai; aka, maloko o Isaaka e kohoia ai kaa poe mamo;
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
Oia hoi o na keiki ma ke kino, aole lakou ka poe keiki na ke Akua; aka, o na keiki a ka olelo hoopomaikai e heluia na mamo.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
No ka mea, penei ka olelo hoopomaikai, I keia wa e hoi mai ana au, a e loaa ia Sara he keiki kane.
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
Aole hoi keia wale no; aka, o Rebeka kekahi, hapai ae la ia na kekahi, na Isaaka ko kakou kupuna kane,
11 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,
No ka mea, (aole laua i hanau, aole hoi i hana i ka mea maikai, aole hoi i ka hewa, i kupaa ai ka manao o ke Akua, ma ka wae ana, aole no ka hana, aka, no ka mea nana i koho mai, )
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
Ua haiia mai keia ia ia, E hookauwa aku ke kaikuaana na ke kaikaina;
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Me ka mea i palapalaia mai, O Iakoba ka'u i aluha ai, a o Esau hoi ka'u i hoowahawaha ai.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
Heaha hoi ka kakou e olelo nei? He hewa anei ko ke Akua? Aole loa.
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
No ka mea, ua olelo mai la oia ia Mose, E aloha ana au i ka'u mea e aloha aku ai, a e menemene ana au i ka'u mea e menemene aku ai.
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
No ia hoi, aole na ka mea e makemake ana, aole hoi na ka mea e holo ana, aka, na ke Akua no, nana i aloha mai.
17 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.”
No ka mea, olelo mai la ka Palapala hemolele ia Parao, No keia wahi mea ua hoala mai au ia oe, i hoike aku au i ko'u mana ma ou la, a i kaulana ai ko'u inoa ma ka honua a pau.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Nolaila hoi, ua aloha mai ai oia i kana mea i manao ai, a ua hoopaakiki hoi oia i kana mea i manao ai.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
A e ninau mai no hoi oe ia'u, No ke aha la ia i hoohewa mai ai? Nawai la hoi kona makemake i pale aku?
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
Kahaha, E ke kanaka, owai la hoi oe ke pakike aku i ke Akua? E pono anei i ka mea i hanaia, ke olelo aku i ka mea nana i hana, No ke aha la oe i hana mai ai ia'u pela?
21 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?
Aole anei e hiki i ka potera ke hana iho noloko o ka popo lepo hookahi i kekahi ipu no ka mahaloia, a i kekahi no ka mahalo ole ia?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
Heaha hoi, ina, e manao ana ke Akua, e hoomaopopo i koua huhu, a e hoike hoi i kona mana, ua hoomanawanui mai ia mo ke ahonui loa i na ipu e huhuia i hoomakaukauia no ka luku;
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
A e hoike mai hoi i ka nui o kona lokomaikai mai i na ipu e alohaia ana i hoomakaukau mua ai no ka nani,
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
Ia kakou hoi ka poe ana i koho mai ai, aole mawaena o ka poe Indaio wale no, mawaena o na kauaka e kekahi.
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
E like me kana i olelo mai ai ma Hosea, E kapa ana au i ka poe kanaka aole no'u, i poe kanaka no'u, a me ka mea i aloha ole ia, i mea aloha.
26 “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.’”
A ma kahi i oleloia'i ia lakou, Aole o ko'u poe kanaka oukou; ma laila e kapaia'i lakou he poe keiki lakou a ke Akua ola.
27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
Ua olelo mai hoi o Isaia no ka Iseraela, Ina he lehulehu na mamo a Iseraela, e like me ke one o ke kai, he hapa ka poe e hoolaia.
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
No ka mea, e hooko ana oia i kana olelo, a ua paa ia ma ka pono, no ka mea, e hana ana ka Haku ma ka honua i kana mea i hai maopopo ai.
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
E like hoi me ka Isaia i olelo mua mai ai, Ina i waiho ole mai Iehova Sabaota i koena no kakou, ina, ua like pu kakou me Sodoma, a ua hoohalikeia hoi me Gomora.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
Heaha ka kakou e olelo nei no ia? O ko na aina e, ka poe i imi ole i ka hoaponoia, ua loaa ia lakou ka hoaponoia, o ka hoaponoia ma ka manaoio.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
Aka, o ka Iseraela, ka poe i imi i ke kanawai e hoaponoia'i, aole loaa ia lakou ke kanawai e hoaponoia'i.
32 Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
No ke aha? No ka mea, aole imi ma ka manaoio, aka, ma na hana ana o ke kanawai: no ka mea, ua kuia lakou i kela pohaku e kuia'i;
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
E like me ka mea i palapalaia, Eia hoi, ke waiho nei au ma Ziona i ka pohaku e kuia'i, a i ka pohaku e hina ai: a o ka mea i manaoio ia ia, aole ia e hoka.
