Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Messiah. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
N maadi mɔmɔni Krisiti nni, mini ki pua faama U Tienu fuoma wangi nni ke n ki pia faama.
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
N ye yeni ti yanyagiciandi yeni li pabɔnli yogunukuli.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Messiah for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
kelima n bi baa bua ban solini nni ki paadi nni yeni Krisiti, n kpiiba yapo, yaaba n kpi yeni ti gbannandi nni yaa ŋamu po.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
Bani Isalele buolu buudi yaaba, U Tienu den cedi ke bi tua bimɔnmu, ki dɔgidi bi po o kpiagidi, ki kuani i yantaadi yeni ba, ki tieni ba o bali maama, ki dɔgidi bi po ban baa jaandi o maama, ki niani ba o ñɔniagu.
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Messiah as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Bi tie ti yaja nba puoli ŋuani, Krisiti moko den mali li yaa buolu nni ti gbannandi po. Wani yua n die bonla kuli. U Tienu n pagidi hali yaa yogunu kuli, Amina (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.
Mii bua yedi ke U Tienu ñɔnianu kipia mayuli ka. Kelima yaaban mali ki tie Isalele puoli ŋuani, bi kuli ka tie Isalele buolu yaaba mɔmɔni.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Laa gɔ tie Abrahama puoli ŋuani kuli ka tie o bi mɔnmu. Ama li yedi: «Isaka puoliŋuani n baa tie a buolu»
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.
Li bua yedi ke laa tie yaaba mali nani bi nisaaliba kuli n maa maama n ba tie U Tienu bila. Ama yaaba n mali nani wani U Tienu n bili u ŋɔnianu maama n tie o buolu mɔmɔni.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
U Tienu n bu niani yaa ñɔnianu n tie ne: «Binli, tin ye yaa yogunu ne yaa pundi, n baa guani ki cua, sala ba maali i bonjaga.»
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
Ama lani baba ka, Rebeka yeni Isaaka den taani bi yaaba ki mali a sanpola bilie.
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,
Li bilieda daa den ke cua li ŋandunli nni, ki buali ban tieni ti tuonbiadi lani yaa kaa a tuonŋanma ke U Tienu den gandi ba ke lan togini bi tuona po, ama li den ñani U Tienu yua yi wanbua yua kani.
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
U Tienu den yedi Rebeka: «ŋan baa kpaa ki mali yua baa tuo ke daa tie nacenbiga.»
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Li ba tieni nani lan diani maama: «N den bua Jakobo ki nani Esyu»
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
Lanwani, ti baa yedi be? U Tienu ki tiegi ba? yeni ka.
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.”
U Tienu den yedi Musa: «N baa gbia mi ninñinma min bua yua yapo. N gɔ baa li palisiadili min buayua yapo.
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Lanwani, laa ñani yua bua naani kani kaa, bii o mɔndilipo ka, ama li ñani U Tienu niñingbadima po.
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.”
kelima li diani ki yedi Farawon: «N yeni a ke a tua o badiciamo yaala yapo tie ke n bua min dɔgini n paalu kelima a yapo, ki gɔ cedi n yeli n pundi ŋanduna kuli nni kelima a yapo.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Lanwani U Tienu gbia mi niñima wan bua yua yapo ki gɔ juadi li paliwan bua yua ya pali.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
Yendo bu guani ke yedi nni: Be yapo ke U Tienu fu yeni ti? kelima ŋma n baa fidi ki yie o yanbuama?
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?”
Fini o nisaalo, a tie ŋma ke baa nia yeni U Tienu? U tiagu baa tuo yedi o tiamaalo ke: «Be yapo ke a maa n nni nanda?
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honour, and another for dishonour?
o tiamaalo ki pia li bali yeni wan ñani yɔgikonyenli nni ki maa yaa tiagu n ba tuuni li tuonli mɔnli, ki ñani laa yɔgikonyenli nni ki maa yaa tiagu n kan tuuni tuon mɔnli.
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,
Ti ji baa maadi be, U Tienu bua wan waani o pabienli ke dɔgidi u paalu ama ke nan cuo o ba bonciala ke yaabu ke dagidi, o mutuoli
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
kelima u bua wan dɔgi o kpiagidi n yabi maama yaa niba n tie nani wan den gbadi yaa tiadi po n ninñima wan den tuodi ke gandi yaaba ke ban taani yeni o o kpiagidi nni.
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
Lanwani wa yini ti Sufinba siiga baba ka, ama o yini ti yaaba n ki tie Sufinba moko siiga.
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.”
Nani wan yedi o sawalipualo Ose tili maama: «N baa yeni yaa nibuoli n ki tie n buolu niba, ke gɔ yini yaa buoli ki mii bua baa min bua yaaba»
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.’”
Li baa tieni yeni bi po nani kani ke yedi ba: «yii tie n buolu» Lankani bi yini ba: «U Tienu yua fuo bijaba»
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;
O sawalipualo Esayi den kpaandi ki maadi Isayeli ki yedi: «Isirayeli buolu yaa tie nani n ñincianma tanbini yeni, yaaba n baa tindi baa tie waamu.
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
kelima O Diedo ba tieni ki juodi i tinga nni wan den yedi yaala ke li kan waagi»
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
Li baa tie nani Esayi n kpia maama ki yedi: Li miali Diedo u paciamu kuli daani o yua den cedi ke ti ti siiga nitianba sieni, ti buolu den baa bodi tn tua nani Sodomi yeni Gomori yaaba yeni.
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;
Lanwani ti baa yedi ledi? Yaa nibuoli n ki tie Isirayeli yaaba ki den lingi n teginma laa n teginma bi dandanli po.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
Ama Isirayeli buolu yaaba den lingi n teginmakelima li bali maama kubima po naa den baa.
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,
Be yaapo ke baa den laa n teginma? Baa den lingi ki baa kelima li dandanli yapo. Lanwani bi den tuudi li tantuudikaala.
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offence; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
Nan lan diani maama: «diidi ke laa, n bili siyoa juali kani yaa tanli n baa cedi bi niba n baa, Ama yua n dugi o po kuli, o kan laa i fe baa yaa daali n cuoni.»
