Roma 9
1 Ndin bellu kidegen nan nya Kirsti, na in bellẹ kinuba, ulamiri nighe in tayi iyizi nba nan nya Nruhu Kutellẹ ulau.
Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony 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 grief and unceasing pain 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 wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ — for my brethren, my kindred, 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 lawgiving, 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)
whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Na uwaso nafo likawali Kutellẹ nso hem. Bara na kogha na adi in Israila kidegen nere kunan Israila.
And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;
7 Na tutung vat kuwunun Ibrahimari di nonọ me ba. Kiti litin Ishaku timaso likura.
nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but — 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
8 Usọ, nonọ na kidowo na nonọ Kutellẹri ba. Uso nonọ likawali inugherẹ idin batuzani nonọ likure.
that is, the children of the flesh — these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
9 Bara ulẹ ulirẹ unalikawali ari: '' Nin ko kubẹ nma dak, nmani Saratu ku gọnọ.''
for the word of promise [is] this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
10 Na ulelẹ chas ba, kimalin Rabika wanin nit uwasamme, uchiff bite Ishakuw-
And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one — Isaac our father —
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 they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling, ) it was said to her —
12 Iwa taba ubelinghe, ''Ukune mani ubenẹ tikunẹ.''
'The greater shall serve the less;'
13 Udi nafo na iyerte di, ''Yakub adi kibinayi nin Isuwa inari amẹ.''
according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'
14 Iyari timabellu? Kutellẹ dini dinongha? Na nani wa yitaba. Bara awa bellin Musa ku au,
What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!
15 “Nma dursu ujinkai kitilẹ na indi nin jinkai, Nkunekune kitilẹ na indi nin nkunekune”.
for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, 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 — not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
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 Writing saith to Pharaoh — 'For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
18 Bara nani, a dinij jinkai kitile na ata usu, kitin le na ata usu tutun ataghe gbas.
so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
19 Uma belli nenge, ''Iyarin ta udin pizuru anit nin kulapi? Ghari wasa asu umusu nighe?
Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
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?''
nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?
21 Ani na unan ke na melenghe wasa akoso tiwin ti shife to ake kumeleng kuchine mun, to tutun a ke nkon 'mun nanzang?
hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
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.
And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted 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 kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call — us —
24 umunu arikẹ wang, nya nalẹ na ana yichila, na nan nya nayahudawa chasba, umunu ingisin tilem tileme vat.
not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
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 also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what [is] not My people — My people; and her not beloved — Beloved,
26 Tutun umanin so nenge, kiti ka na iwa yertin na anu anit nighari ba, nene ima yichimunu nọnọ Kutellẹ lai.''
and it shall be — in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called 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 doth cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;
28 Bara Chikilari ma su kata nin lirume nan nya iyi ulelẹ vat na nin molu kubiba.
for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.
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 according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'
30 Iyari tiba ku tibellin? Awurmi na iwadi anan fiu Kutellẹ ba, nene iso anan fiu Kutellẹ bara uyinnu sa uyenu.
What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
31 Inun Israila na iwa dofin ushara nin fiu Kutellẹ, na iwa duru igan i. nin ba.
and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;
32 Iyang wantin? Bara na iwa pizuru nin yinnu sa uyenuba, iwa piziru nin kata kidowo inani wa tirọ litala intirzu.
wherefore? because — not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,
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.''
according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
