Men Rom 9
1 NAI kin lokaia melel ren Krijtuj, o i jota kin likam, pwe injen ai o Nen jaraui kadede ia da,
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 Me i kin patautau o injenjued nan monion i kaukaule.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
3 Pwe pein nai inon ion en riala, pwen dooki wei jan Krijtuj pweki ri ai kan ni pali uduk.
For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren’s sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 lei men Ijrael me udan jeri en Ko t, me ar linan, o inau kan, o kapun, o upa Kot, o kokop akan mia,
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
5 Me jamaneki jam atail akan me Krijtuj pil tapi jan ia ni pali uduk a, me poedi meakaroj, iei Kot me iajanai kokolata, amen. (aiōn g165)
whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Pwe kaidin dene majan en Kot jo pwaida, pwe kaidin karoj men Ijrael, me tikidar Ijrael;
But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:
7 Pil kaidin karoj jeri kan, me kijan kadaudok en Apraam; pwe jan ren Ijaak kadaudok om pan tapi jan ia.
neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 Ari, kaidin irail jeri en Kot akan, me jeri kan ni tiak en uduk, a jeri en inau kan pan wad on kadaudok o.
That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
9 Pwe i majan, majan en inau eu: Ni anjau o I pan kodo, a Jara pan naitikada jeri ol amen.
For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 A kaidin i eta, pwe pil Repeka lao lijean on jam atail Ijaak.
And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac—
11 Pwe ni anjau jeri ko kaikenta ipwidier, o pil kaikenta wiadar meakot mau de me jued, o pwe kupur en Kot en pwaida, kaidin ni wiawia a ni lipilipil ren me piladar o,
for [the children] 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 that calleth,
12 A kotin majani on i: Me laud o pan papa me tikitik!
it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 Duen a intinidier: lakop me I pok on er, a Ejau me I likidmalielar.
Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
14 Ari, da me kitail en inda? Kot me japun? O jo!
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 Pwe a kotin majani on Mojej: I pan maki on, me I men maki on, o I pan pokepoke, me I men pokepoke.
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
16 Ari, jota katepa, ma amen pan pein inon ion de tane wei, a ma Kot pan kotin maki on amen.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.
17 Pwe kijin likau me katitiki on Parao: Nan iet me I kilele uk adar, pwe I en kajale kida uk ai manaman, o pwe mar ai en indandeki jili ni jap akan karoj.
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.
18 Ari, a kin kotin maki on, me a kotin kupura, ap kapitakaila, duen me a kotin mauki.
So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19 Koe ap pan indan ia: Ari da me a kailon kin ia? Pwe ij me kak palian kupur a?
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?
20 Ei melel aramaj koe, ij koe, me men palian Kot? Da, dipijou pan indai on me wiadar i: Menda koe wiai on ia momuei?
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
21 Pala jaun wiada dal jota manaman on, en wia kida lopon en pwel ota dal eu me kajelel, de eu me jakanekan?
Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22 A Kot kotin kanonama on dal jued akan, me wiauier on lokidokila, ni a men kajaleda a onion o manaman,
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:
23 O a pil men kotin kajaleda a dir en linan ki dal en a mak kan, me a kotin kaonopadar maj o en linanla.
and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,
24 Iei kitail, me a kotin waron do, kaidin jan ren Juj akan eta, a pil jan ren men liki kan.
[even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
25 Duen a pil kotin majanier nan puk en Ojea: I pan kaadaneki irail, me kaidin nai, nai aramaj akan, o me jo kompoke pai, kompoke pai.
As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.
26 A pan wiaui waja o me a loki on irail: Komail kaidin nai aramaj, i waja re pan adaneki jeri en Kot ieiaj.
And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.
27 A Iejaia likelikwir duen men Ijrael: Ma jeri en Ijrael akan pan raj on pik en oror, lua ta pan maurela. iej.
And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
28 Pwe a pan kotin kairela japwilim a dodok o kamode kila ni a pun, pwe Kaun o pan kotin wiada dok motomot nin jappa.
for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
29 O duen Iejaia majanier maj o: Ma Kaun Jepaot jo nikideki on kitail kaparapar, kitail pan dueta Jodom o Komora.
And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.
30 Ari, da me kitail en inda duen men liki kan me jota rapaki pun, re diaradar pun, a pun eu, me tapi jan pojon.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:
31 A men Ijrael me inon ion kapwaiada kujoned en pun, ap jota konodi kujoned wet.
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law.
32 Pwekida? Pwekia jota tapi jan ni pojon a ni wiawia kan, pwe irail dipikelekeleki takai en dipikelekel.
Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
33 Duen a intinidier: Kilan, I pajonedi takai eu nan Jion, takai en dipikelekel eu o paip en kamakar. A me pan pojon i, a jota pan jarodi.
even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
