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 am speaking the truth in Christ; I am not lying. My conscience offers testimony to me in the Holy Spirit,
2 Indi nin liburi lisire kang nin konu in salin shizunu nan nya kibinayi nighe.
because the sadness within me is great, and there is a continuous sorrow 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 was desiring that I myself might be anathemized from Christ, for the sake of my brothers, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh.
4 Inun na idi Israila. Idi nin seru, nin zazunu, nin nisilin, nin liru Kutellẹ, a likawali.
These are the Israelites, to whom belongs adoption as sons, and the glory and the testament, and the giving and following of the law, 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)
Theirs are the fathers, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all things, blessed God, for all eternity. 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 that the Word of God has perished. For not all those who are Israelites are of Israel.
7 Na tutung vat kuwunun Ibrahimari di nonọ me ba. Kiti litin Ishaku timaso likura.
And not all sons are the offspring of Abraham: “For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.”
8 Usọ, nonọ na kidowo na nonọ Kutellẹri ba. Uso nonọ likawali inugherẹ idin batuzani nonọ likure.
In other words, those who are the sons of God are not those who are sons of the flesh, but those who are sons of the Promise; these are considered to be the offspring.
9 Bara ulẹ ulirẹ unalikawali ari: '' Nin ko kubẹ nma dak, nmani Saratu ku gọnọ.''
For the word of promise is this: “I will return at the proper time. And there shall be a son for Sarah.”
10 Na ulelẹ chas ba, kimalin Rabika wanin nit uwasamme, uchiff bite Ishakuw-
And she was not alone. For Rebecca also, having conceived by Isaac our father, from one act,
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.
when the children had not yet been born, and had not yet done anything good or bad (such that the purpose of God might be based on their choice),
12 Iwa taba ubelinghe, ''Ukune mani ubenẹ tikunẹ.''
and not because of deeds, but because of a calling, it was said to her: “The elder shall serve the younger.”
13 Udi nafo na iyerte di, ''Yakub adi kibinayi nin Isuwa inari amẹ.''
So also it was written: “I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.”
14 Iyari timabellu? Kutellẹ dini dinongha? Na nani wa yitaba. Bara awa bellin Musa ku au,
What should we say next? Is there unfairness with God? Let it not be so!
15 “Nma dursu ujinkai kitilẹ na indi nin jinkai, Nkunekune kitilẹ na indi nin nkunekune”.
For to Moses he says: “I will pity whomever I pity. And I will offer mercy to whomever I will pity.”
16 Bara nani, na ule na ana kibinayi ariba, a na ulẹ na asu uchumari ba, bara Kutellẹ ari ulẹ na adurso ujinkai.
Therefore, it is not based on those who choose, nor on those who excel, but on God who takes pity.
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 Scripture says to the Pharaoh: “I have raised you up for this purpose, so that I may reveal my power by you, and so that my name may be announced to all the earth.”
18 Bara nani, a dinij jinkai kitile na ata usu, kitin le na ata usu tutun ataghe gbas.
Therefore, he takes pity on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.
19 Uma belli nenge, ''Iyarin ta udin pizuru anit nin kulapi? Ghari wasa asu umusu nighe?
And so, you would say to me: “Then why does he still find fault? For who can resist 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 are you to question God? How can the thing that has been formed say to the One who formed him: “Why have you made me this way?”
21 Ani na unan ke na melenghe wasa akoso tiwin ti shife to ake kumeleng kuchine mun, to tutun a ke nkon 'mun nanzang?
And does not the potter have the authority over the clay to make, from the same material, indeed, one vessel unto honor, yet truly another unto disgrace?
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, wanting to reveal his wrath and to make his power known, endured, with much patience, vessels deserving wrath, fit to be destroyed,
23 Bara tinan yinnọ mgbardang nkune kune kibinayime liti nalẹ na inin dinin kune kune, ale nawa achiu bara a ghanti nani.
so that he might reveal the wealth of his glory, within these vessels of mercy, which he has prepared unto glory?
24 umunu arikẹ wang, nya nalẹ na ana yichila, na nan nya nayahudawa chasba, umunu ingisin tilem tileme vat.
And so it is with those of us whom he has also called, not only from among the Jews, but even from among 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.
just as he says in Hosea: “I will call those who were not my people, ‘my people,’ and she who was not beloved, ‘beloved,’ and she who had not obtained mercy, ‘one who has obtained mercy.’
26 Tutun umanin so nenge, kiti ka na iwa yertin na anu anit nighari ba, nene ima yichimunu nọnọ Kutellẹ lai.''
And this shall be: in the place where 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.
And Isaiah cried out on behalf of Israel: “When the number of the sons of Israel is like 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 he shall complete his word, while abbreviating it out of equity. For the Lord shall accomplish a brief word upon 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 it is just as Isaiah predicted: “Unless the Lord of hosts had bequeathed offspring, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made similar to 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 next? That the Gentiles who did not follow justice have attained justice, even the justice that is of faith.
31 Inun Israila na iwa dofin ushara nin fiu Kutellẹ, na iwa duru igan i. nin ba.
Yet truly, Israel, though following the law of justice, has not arrived at the law of justice.
32 Iyang wantin? Bara na iwa pizuru nin yinnu sa uyenuba, iwa piziru nin kata kidowo inani wa tirọ litala intirzu.
Why is this? Because they did not seek it from faith, but as if it were from works. For they stumbled over a stumbling block,
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.''
just as it was written: “Behold, I am placing a stumbling block in Zion, and a rock of scandal. But whoever believes in him shall not be confounded.”
