Romans 9
1 I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience is testifying with me in the Holy Spirit—
Hita fo mana nenefutu-paꞌaꞌ to Kristus, olaꞌ tetebꞌes. Dadꞌi au nda olaꞌ peko-lelekoꞌ neu nggi sa. Au rala ngga nafadꞌe au nae, Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen mana nalalao rala ngga.
2 I have great sorrow and unceasing distress in my heart.
Au ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: rala ngga susa-sona. Au medꞌa beran taꞌo naa, huu usunedꞌa atahori ngga ra. Au nau fo nusa Yahudi nggara o nenefutu-paꞌaꞌ ro Kristus, te hetar nda ramahere E sa. Onaꞌ au bisa soi dalaꞌ fee se, au sadꞌia oꞌe fo Lamatuaꞌ huku-dꞌoki au, fo nggati se. Ma au o sadꞌia oꞌe fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌadꞌodꞌooꞌ au mia Kristus, naa fo atahori nggara bisa nenefutu-paꞌaꞌ ro E.
3 For I keep wishing that I myself could be accursed away from the Messiah for the sake of my brothers, my physical relatives,
4 the Israelites. To them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises.
Tao-tao te sira, atahori Israꞌel, naeni nusaꞌ esa mana onton seli. Lamatuaꞌ soꞌu nala se dadꞌi eni ana nara eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a. Ana natudꞌu koasan manaseliꞌ neu se. Ana hengge-nee hehelu-fufuliꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ no se. Ana fee hohoro-lalanen neu se. Sira mana rahineꞌ beꞌutee neu E, ma tao ues fee neu E. Ana helu-fuli nae natudꞌu rala malolen neu se.
5 The patriarchs are theirs, and from them came the Christ (the physical part), who is over all, God forever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Sira laoꞌ mia bei-baꞌi tara, naeni: baꞌi Abraham, baꞌi Isak, ma baꞌi Yakob (atahori haꞌi naraꞌ ‘Israꞌel’ mia e). Ma Kristus, fo Lamatuaꞌ helu-fuli memaꞌ mia lele uluꞌ a fo nae haitua nemaꞌ naa, laoꞌ mia hita nusa Yahudi ra bei-baꞌi tara. Kristus naa o, naeni Lamatualain mana parenda basa-bꞌasaꞌ e. Dadꞌi nandaa mete ma soꞌu rananaru E losa doo nduꞌu-dꞌoon neu. Tebꞌe! (aiōn g165)
6 However, it is not as though the Word of God has failed! For not all who have descended from Israel are ‘Israel’.
Onaꞌ mae atahori Israꞌel hetar nda feꞌe simbo Kristus sa, te atahori nda bisa olaꞌ rae, Lamatuaꞌ hehelu-fufulin naa nda dadꞌi sa. Ma afiꞌ duꞌa mae, basa atahori mana laoꞌ mia bei-baꞌi Israꞌel naa, dadꞌi nusa Israꞌel fo Lamatuaꞌ tengga nala dadꞌi Eni atahorin.
7 Neither are they all ‘children’ because they are Abraham's descendants; but, “in Isaac will your seed be called.”
Conto onaꞌ, atahori hetar laoꞌ mia bei-baꞌi tara, baꞌi Abraham. Te basa se nda Abraham tititi-nonosin fo Lamatuaꞌ tengga nalaꞌ ra sa. Huu Lamatuaꞌ nafadꞌe basa Abraham nae, “Tititi-nonosim fo au uhineꞌ ra, akaꞌ mana laoꞌ mia Isak ana nara.”
8 That is, it is not the physical children who are God's ‘children’, but the children of the promise are regarded as ‘seed’.
Sosoan nae, mia maꞌahulun losa oras ia, nda basa tititi-nonosiꞌ mana laoꞌ mia hita atahori Yahudi ra baꞌin Abraham, dadꞌi Lamatualain ana nara. Akaꞌ tititi-nonosin mana laoꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ hehelu-fufulin fee neu Abraham, fo Lamatuaꞌ reken se dadꞌi eni ana matetu nara.
9 For this is the word of promise: “At this season I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
Huu Lamatuaꞌ hengge-nee hehelu-fufuliꞌ nae, “Mbei ma too mana nemaꞌ ia, Au baliꞌ uma. Leleꞌ naa, sao ma Sara bꞌonggi ana touꞌ sa ena.”
10 Not only that, but also when Rebecca had conceived twins by our forefather Isaac
Nda taꞌoꞌ a naa sa. Huu hita baꞌi Isak na no saon Ribka bonggi rala ana duaꞌ ra.
11 (though they had not yet been born, not having done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),
Leleꞌ Ribka nda feꞌe bꞌonggi nala se sa, ara nda feꞌe tao dala maloleꞌ do dala deꞌulakaꞌ sa. Mae taꞌo naa o, Lamatuaꞌ nafadꞌe memaꞌ soꞌal Ribka ana duaꞌ mana dea neu naꞌahulu a nae, “Dei fo aꞌa ka tao ues fee odꞌin.” Lamatuaꞌ nafadꞌe taꞌo naa, fo natudꞌu nae, mete ma Eni tengga nala atahori esa ena, Eni nahine nae pake atahori na fo tao taꞌo bee. De Lamatuaꞌ tengga nala odꞌi ka fo dꞌadi atahorin. Ana nda parlu nahati fo mete sobꞌa odꞌi ka nae tao taꞌo bee sa boe, huu Lamatua nahine memaꞌ ena.
12 it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger.”
13 As it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Huu Lamatuaꞌ olaꞌ sia Susura Meumaren soꞌal ana duaꞌ naa ra nae, Au tengga ala Yakob, te au nda simbo Esau sa.”
14 So what shall we say, there is no injustice with God, is there? Of course not!
Dadꞌi ata feꞌe tae saa fai? Mbei ma hambu ruma rae, “Lamatuaꞌ nda naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat no matetuꞌ sa, do?” Nda bisa sa!
15 For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I have compassion.”
Huu mia lele uluꞌ a Lamatualain nafadꞌe neu baꞌi Musa nae, “Au utudꞌu susue ngga neu atahori fo Au tengga alaꞌ ra. Ma Au kasian neu atahori fo Au dudꞌu ao ngga.”
16 So then, it is not of him who wills nor of him who strives, but of God who shows mercy.
Dadꞌi atahori naa nda medꞌa Lamatuaꞌ susuen sa huu eni hihii-nanaun, do huu eni tatao-nonoin. Te huu Lamatuaꞌ mesaꞌ ne mana nae natudꞌu susuen neu atahori naa.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Huu sia Susura Meumareꞌ a, Lamatuaꞌ olaꞌ no mane Masir nae, “Au soꞌu nggo dadꞌi maneꞌ, huu Au ae pake koasa ngga fo labꞌan nggo fo atahori hetar rita. No taꞌo naa, basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia soꞌu rananaru Au nara ngga.”
18 So then, He has mercy on whom He wishes, and He hardens whom He wishes.
Dadꞌi mete ma Lamatuaꞌ nae natudꞌu kasian neu atahori esa, na, Ana taoꞌ a. Ma mete ma Ana nae tao atahori sa ralan manggatee, na, Ana o tao boe.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has ever resisted His will?”
Naa! Mete ma hambu atahori nda simbo au rae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, Lamatuaꞌ nae tao dalaꞌ esa, seka bisa labꞌan E? Nda hambu sa, to? Dadꞌi, taꞌo bee fo Eni nae mbia salaꞌ neu nggita? Naa nda matetuꞌ sa!”
20 Really now, just who are you, O man, to talk back to God? What is formed will not say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this,” will it?
Mete ma hambu ruma duꞌa taꞌo naa, na au utaa, taꞌo ia: “Duꞌa mae ho ia, seka?! Ho mae olaꞌ labꞌan Lamatuaꞌ, do?” Afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Huu sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren nenesuraꞌ nae, “Mete ma atahori tao saa esa na, taꞌo bee de saa fo ana taoꞌ naa natane baliꞌ atahori mana tao e nae, ‘Taꞌo bee de ho tao au taꞌo ia!?’”
21 Or has the potter no right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
Conto Onaꞌ mana tao huraꞌ. Mia rae huraꞌ bubꞌueꞌ esa, ana naꞌena hak fo nae tao nggusi makahahadꞌok esa fo atahori koa e. Ana o naꞌena hak pake rae bubꞌueꞌ naa fo tao neu mamana manggarauꞌ, tunggaꞌ a eni hihii-nanaun.
22 What if God, wishing to display His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
Onaꞌ naa boe Lamatualain. Ana naꞌena hak fo tao tungga hihii-nanaun. Nae natudꞌu neu basa atahori nae, Eni namanasa, ma nda simbo atahori tatao deꞌulaka nara sa. Ana o nau fo atahori bubꞌuluꞌ rae, Eni naꞌena koasa naen seli. Fo atahori rahine taꞌo naa, na Ana naꞌatataaꞌ Aon no atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Te atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ ra, rahaniꞌ a fain fo rambalutu eto-etoꞌ
23 just in order to make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,
Ana tao taꞌo naa, fo nae natudꞌu neu atahori hetar oi, Eni nae natudꞌu susue lalain neu atahori ruma. Sira, fo Ana tengga nala memaꞌ, fo nae soꞌu nananaru se. Ma Ana nau atahori bubꞌuluꞌ rae, Eni mesaꞌ ne manaseliꞌ.
24 even us whom He called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
Huu hita ia ra, fo Ana tengga memaꞌ dadꞌi atahori nara. Hita ia ra, ruma mia atahori Yahudi, boe ma ruma mia nusa feaꞌ ra.
25 As He also says in Hosea: “I will call the ‘not my people’, ‘my people’, and the ‘not loved’ (f), ‘loved’.”
Feꞌesaꞌan, Lamatuaꞌ pake mana ola-olan Hosea, fo suraꞌ soꞌal atahori nda Yahudi ra oi, Hambu atahori ruma dalahulun nda Au atahori ngga sa, te Au ae oꞌe se ae, “Hei, Au atahori nggara,’ Ma hambu nusa fo dalahulun Au nda sue sa, te Au ae oꞌe se ae, ‘Hei, nusaꞌ fo Au sueꞌ a.’”
26 “And it will be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called sons of the living God.”
Ana o suraꞌ oi, “Sia naa, Sia mamanaꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ nafadꞌe neu se oi, Hei, nda dadꞌi Au atahori ngga sa!’ Dei fo Lamatuaꞌ mana masodꞌaꞌ a nae nafadꞌe nggi nae, ‘Ia naa, hei dadꞌi Au ana nggara ena!’” Ana olaꞌ taꞌo naa, huu Ana kasian atahori nda Yahudi ra sa.
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved;
Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan laen, naeni Yesaya, olaꞌ nita soꞌal nusa Israꞌel ra leleo-lalao nara nae, “Onaꞌ mae atahori Israꞌel ra dadꞌi naen seli, onaꞌ saraꞌaeꞌ sia tasi suun, te dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee masodꞌaꞌ neuꞌ a sira hidꞌaꞌ a, mia sala-kilu nara.
28 because He is finishing and cutting short an accounting in righteousness; yes, the Lord will impose a condensed accounting upon the earth.”
Te dei fo losa fai neneman, fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat fee basa atahori sia ndule raefafoꞌ ia, onaꞌ Ana nafadꞌe memaꞌ ena. Te Ana nda nahati sa, Huu Ana tao nabasaꞌ no lai-lai!”
29 And as Isaiah had said previously: “Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like Gomorrah.”
Dalahulun, Yesaya nafadꞌe soꞌal atahori Yahudi nae, “Hita onton, huu Lamatuaꞌ mana naꞌena koasa manaseliꞌ, hela hita tititi-nonosi tara ruma hambu masodꞌaꞌ. Huu mete ma nda taꞌo naa saa, na, basa hendi hita ena, onaꞌ atahori kota Sodꞌom no kota Gomora ra.”
30 So what shall we say? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained to righteousness, namely the righteousness that comes from faith;
Dadꞌi ata feꞌe tae saa fai? Olaꞌ tae, atahori nda Yahudi ra mia bee-bꞌee, fo dꞌalahulun nda sangga fo rae maloleꞌ ro Lamatuaꞌ sa, ia naa maloleꞌ ro E ena, huu ramahere neu Yesus Kristus.
31 while Israel, pursuing a standard of righteousness, did not attain to that standard.
Tao-tao te atahori Israꞌel ra, sobꞌa tao tungga Musa hohoro-lalanen fo ara bisa malolole ro Lamatuaꞌ, te nda dadꞌi maloleꞌ ro E sa.
32 Why not? Because it was not from faith, but as from works of the law. They stumbled over the ‘stumbling stone’;
Saa de ara nda bisa maloleꞌ ro Lamatuaꞌ sa? Huu ara nau tao tungga akaꞌ a hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa, fo Ana simbo sira ona atahori rala ndoos, te ara nda ramahere neu Yesus Kristus sa. Dadꞌi onaꞌ ara raꞌatunu dai “fatu neꞌetunus”. Ia fo Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren sosoan nae, “Mete ia dei! Te Au tao Atahori esa sia lete Sion, sia kota Yerusalem. Atahori naa onaꞌ fatu esa, mana tao atahori raꞌatunu. Te seka namahere neu E, na, afiꞌ mae.” Fatu naa, naeni Yesus. Te atahori Israꞌel ra nda simbo E sa. Naa onaꞌ ara raꞌatunu, boe ma raꞌaloli huu fatu naa.
33 as it is written: “Look! I am placing in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense, and no one who believes on Him will be put to shame.”
