I am in Christ, and what I say is true. I'm not lying! My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm
| مَمانْتَرَتِشَیَدُحکھَں نِرَنْتَرَں کھیدَشْچَ | 2 |
how terribly sad I am, how I have never-ending pain in my heart,
| تَسْمادْ اَہَں سْوَجاتِییَبھْراترِناں نِمِتّاتْ سْوَیَں کھْرِیشْٹاچّھاپاکْرانْتو بھَوِتُمْ اَیچّھَمْ۔ | 3 |
for my own people, my brothers and sisters. I would rather be cursed myself, separated from Christ, if that would help them.
| یَتَسْتَ اِسْراییلَسْیَ وَںشا اَپِ چَ دَتَّکَپُتْرَتْوَں تیجو نِیَمو وْیَوَسْتھادانَں مَنْدِرے بھَجَنَں پْرَتِجْناح پِترِپُرُشَگَنَشْچَیتیشُ سَرْوّیشُ تیشامْ اَدھِکاروسْتِ۔ | 4 |
They are my fellow-Israelites, God's chosen people. God revealed to them his glory and made agreements with them, giving them the law, true worship, and his promises.
| تَتْ کیوَلَں نَہِ کِنْتُ سَرْوّادھْیَکْشَح سَرْوَّدا سَچِّدانَنْدَ اِیشْوَرو یَح کھْرِیشْٹَح سوپِ شارِیرِکَسَمْبَنْدھینَ تیشاں وَںشَسَمْبھَوَح۔ (aiōn g165) | 5 |
They are our forefathers—ancestors of Christ, humanly-speaking, the one who rules over everything, the eternally-blessed God. Amen. (aiōn g165)
| اِیشْوَرَسْیَ واکْیَں وِپھَلَں جاتَمْ اِتِ نَہِ یَتْکارَنادْ اِسْراییلو وَںشے یے جاتاسْتے سَرْوّے وَسْتُتَ اِسْراییلِییا نَ بھَوَنْتِ۔ | 6 |
It's not that God's promise has failed. For not every Israelite is a true Israelite,
| اَپَرَمْ اِبْراہِیمو وَںشے جاتا اَپِ سَرْوّے تَسْیَیوَ سَنْتانا نَ بھَوَنْتِ کِنْتُ اِسْہاکو نامْنا تَوَ وَںشو وِکھْیاتو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 7 |
and not all those who are descended from Abraham are his true children. For Scripture says, “Your descendants will be counted through Isaac,”
| اَرْتھاتْ شارِیرِکَسَںسَرْگاتْ جاتاح سَنْتانا یاوَنْتَسْتاوَنْتَ ایویشْوَرَسْیَ سَنْتانا نَ بھَوَنْتِ کِنْتُ پْرَتِشْرَوَنادْ یے جایَنْتے تَایویشْوَرَوَںشو گَنْیَتے۔ | 8 |
so it's not Abraham's actual children who are counted as God's children, but only those children of God's promise who are considered his true descendants.
| یَتَسْتَتْپْرَتِشْرُتے رْواکْیَمیتَتْ، ایتادرِشے سَمَیے ہَں پُنَراگَمِشْیامِ تَتْپُورْوَّں سارایاح پُتْرَ ایکو جَنِشْیَتے۔ | 9 |
This is what the promise was: “I will return next year and Sarah will have a son.”
| اَپَرَمَپِ وَدامِ سْوَمَنوبھِلاشَتَ اِیشْوَرینَ یَنِّرُوپِتَں تَتْ کَرْمَّتو نَہِ کِنْتْواہْوَیِتُ رْجاتَمیتَدْ یَتھا سِدّھیَتِ | 10 |
In addition Rebecca's twin sons had the same father, our forefather Isaac.
| تَدَرْتھَں رِبْکانامِکَیا یوشِتا جَنَیکَسْمادْ اَرْتھادْ اَسْماکَمْ اِسْہاکَح پُورْوَّپُرُشادْ گَرْبھے دھرِتے تَسْیاح سَنْتانَیوح پْرَسَواتْ پُورْوَّں کِنْچَ تَیوح شُبھاشُبھَکَرْمَّنَح کَرَناتْ پُورْوَّں | 11 |
But even before the children were born, and before they'd done anything right or wrong (so that God's purpose could continue, proving God's calling of people is not based on human performance),
| تاں پْرَتِیدَں واکْیَمْ اُکْتَں، جْییشْٹھَح کَنِشْٹھَں سیوِشْیَتے، | 12 |
she was told, “The older brother will serve the younger one.”
| یَتھا لِکھِتَمْ آسْتے، تَتھاپْییشاوِ نَ پْرِیتْوا یاکُوبِ پْرِیتَوانْ اَہَں۔ | 13 |
As Scripture says, “I chose Jacob, but rejected Esau.”
| تَرْہِ وَیَں کِں بْرُومَح؟ اِیشْوَرَح کِمْ اَنْیایَکارِی؟ تَتھا نَ بھَوَتُ۔ | 14 |
So what should we conclude? That God was unjust? Certainly not!
| یَتَح سَ سْوَیَں مُوسامْ اَوَدَتْ؛ اَہَں یَسْمِنْ اَنُگْرَہَں چِکِیرْشامِ تَمیوانُگرِہْلامِ، یَنْچَ دَیِتُمْ اِچّھامِ تَمیوَ دَیے۔ | 15 |
As he said to Moses, “I will be merciful to whoever I should show mercy, and I will have compassion on whoever I should show compassion.”
| اَتَایویچّھَتا یَتَمانینَ وا مانَوینَ تَنَّ سادھْیَتے دَیاکارِنیشْوَرینَیوَ سادھْیَتے۔ | 16 |
So it does not depend on what we want, or our own efforts, but the merciful nature of God.
| پھِرَونِ شاسْتْرے لِکھَتِ، اَہَں تْوَدّوارا مَتْپَراکْرَمَں دَرْشَیِتُں سَرْوَّپرِتھِوْیاں نِجَنامَ پْرَکاشَیِتُنْچَ تْواں سْتھاپِتَوانْ۔ | 17 |
Scripture records God saying to Pharaoh: “I put you here for a reason—so that through you I could demonstrate my power, and so that my name could be made known throughout the earth.”
| اَتَح سَ یَمْ اَنُگْرَہِیتُمْ اِچّھَتِ تَمیوانُگرِہْلاتِ، یَنْچَ نِگْرَہِیتُمْ اِچّھَتِ تَں نِگرِہْلاتِ۔ | 18 |
So God is merciful to those he wishes to be, and hardens the attitude of those he wants to.
| یَدِ وَدَسِ تَرْہِ سَ دوشَں کُتو گرِہْلاتِ؟ تَدِیییچّھایاح پْرَتِبَنْدھَکَتْوَں کَرْتَّں کَسْیَ سامَرْتھْیَں وِدْیَتے؟ | 19 |
Now you'll argue with me and ask, “So why does he still blame us then? Who can resist the will of God?”
| ہے اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَتِپَکْشَ مَرْتْیَ تْوَں کَح؟ ایتادرِشَں ماں کُتَح سرِشْٹَوانْ؟ اِتِ کَتھاں سرِشْٹَوَسْتُ سْرَشْٹْرے کِں کَتھَیِشْیَتِ؟ | 20 |
That's no way to speak, for who are you—a mere mortal—to contradict God? Can something that is created say to its creator, “Why did you make me like this?”
| ایکَسْمانْ مرِتْپِنْڈادْ اُتْکرِشْٹاپَکرِشْٹَو دْوِوِدھَو کَلَشَو کَرْتُّں کِں کُلالَسْیَ سامَرْتھْیَں ناسْتِ؟ | 21 |
Doesn't a potter have the right to use the same batch of clay to make both a decorative bowl and an everyday pot?
| اِیشْوَرَح کوپَں پْرَکاشَیِتُں نِجَشَکْتِں جْناپَیِتُنْچیچّھَنْ یَدِ وِناشَسْیَ یوگْیانِ کْرودھَبھاجَنانِ پْرَتِ بَہُکالَں دِیرْگھَسَہِشْنُتامْ آشْرَیَتِ؛ | 22 |
It's as if God, wanting to demonstrate his opposition to sin and to reveal his power, bears patiently with these “pots destined for destruction,”
| اَپَرَنْچَ وِبھَوَپْراپْتْیَرْتھَں پُورْوَّں نِیُکْتانْیَنُگْرَہَپاتْرانِ پْرَتِ نِجَوِبھَوَسْیَ باہُلْیَں پْرَکاشَیِتُں کیوَلَیِہُودِناں نَہِ بھِنَّدیشِنامَپِ مَدھْیادْ | 23 |
so that he might reveal the greatness of his glory through these “pots of mercy” which he has prepared in advance for glory.
| اَسْمانِوَ تانْیاہْوَیَتِ تَتْرَ تَوَ کِں؟ | 24 |
This is who we are—people he has called, not just from among the Jews, but from among the foreigners too...
| ہوشییَگْرَنْتھے یَتھا لِکھِتَمْ آسْتے، یو لوکو مَمَ ناسِیتْ تَں وَدِشْیامِ مَدِییَکَں۔ یا جاتِ رْمےپْرِیا چاسِیتْ تاں وَدِشْیامْیَہَں پْرِیاں۔ | 25 |
As God said in the book of Hosea, “Those who are not my people I will call my people, and those who are not loved I will call the ones I love,”
| یُویَں مَدِییَلوکا نَ یَتْریتِ واکْیَمَوچْیَتَ۔ اَمَریشَسْیَ سَنْتانا اِتِ کھْیاسْیَنْتِ تَتْرَ تے۔ | 26 |
and, “It will happen that at the place where they were told, ‘You're not my people,’ there they will be called the children of the living God.”
| اِسْراییلِییَلوکیشُ یِشایِیوپِ واچَمیتاں پْراچارَیَتْ، اِسْراییلِییَوَںشاناں یا سَںکھْیا سا تُ نِشْچِتَں۔ سَمُدْرَسِکَتاسَںکھْیاسَمانا یَدِ جایَتے۔ تَتھاپِ کیوَلَں لوکَیرَلْپَیسْتْرانَں وْرَجِشْیَتے۔ | 27 |
Isaiah cries out regarding Israel: “Even if the children of Israel have become as numerous as the sands of the sea, only a small number will be saved.
| یَتو نْیایینَ سْوَں کَرْمَّ پَریشَح سادھَیِشْیَتِ۔ دیشے سَایوَ سَںکْشیپانِّجَں کَرْمَّ کَرِشْیَتِ۔ | 28 |
For the Lord is going to quickly and completely finish his work of judgment on the earth.”
| یِشایِیوپَرَمَپِ کَتھَیاماسَ، سَینْیادھْیَکْشَپَریشینَ چیتْ کِنْچِنّودَشِشْیَتَ۔ تَدا وَیَں سِدومیوابھَوِشْیامَ وِنِشْچِتَں۔ یَدْوا وَیَمْ اَمورایا اَگَمِشْیامَ تُلْیَتاں۔ | 29 |
As Isaiah previously said, “If the Lord Almighty had not left us some descendants, we would have become just like Sodom and Gomorrah.”
| تَرْہِ وَیَں کِں وَکْشْیامَح؟ اِتَرَدیشِییا لوکا اَپِ پُنْیارْتھَمْ اَیَتَمانا وِشْواسینَ پُنْیَمْ اَلَبھَنْتَ؛ | 30 |
What shall we conclude, then? That even though the foreigners were not even looking to do right, they did grasp what is right, and through their trust in God did what was morally right.
| کِنْتْوِسْراییلّوکا وْیَوَسْتھاپالَنینَ پُنْیارْتھَں یَتَماناسْتَنْ نالَبھَنْتَ۔ | 31 |
But the people of Israel, who looked to the law to make them right with God, never succeeded.
| تَسْیَ کِں کارَنَں؟ تے وِشْواسینَ نَہِ کِنْتُ وْیَوَسْتھایاح کْرِیَیا چیشْٹِتْوا تَسْمِنْ سْکھَلَنَجَنَکے پاشانے پادَسْکھَلَنَں پْراپْتاح۔ | 32 |
Why not? Because they relied on what they did rather than trusting in God. They tripped on the stumbling-block,
| لِکھِتَں یادرِشَمْ آسْتے، پَشْیَ پادَسْکھَلارْتھَں ہِ سِییونِ پْرَسْتَرَنْتَتھا۔ بادھاکارَنْچَ پاشانَں پَرِسْتھاپِتَوانَہَمْ۔ وِشْوَسِشْیَتِ یَسْتَتْرَ سَ جَنو نَ تْرَپِشْیَتے۔ | 33 |
just as Scripture predicted: “Look, I'm placing in Zion a stumbling-block, a rock that will offend people. But those who trust in him won't be disappointed.”
