¹I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

²Napa to ku'uli' toi, ku'uli' ngkai nono-ku mpu'u. Uma-a boa', apa' aku' toi bagia Kristus. Pai' Inoha' Tomoroli' mposabii' kamakono-na lolita-ku toi. Uma mowo kasusa' nono-ku toi-e! Susa' lia ku'epe pai' peda' ncuu nono-ku, apa' hingka to Yahudi-ku, oja' -ra mepangala' hi Yesus.

²That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

³Ane ke ma'ala, ke aku' lau ratotowi pai' ragaa' ngkai Kristus, asala ompi' -ku to Yahudi toera rabahaka ngkai huku' jeko' -ra.

³For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

⁴Owi to Israel mporata wori' rasi' ngkai Alata'ala, apa' hira' toe tauna to napobagia Alata'ala ngkai owi, napajadi' -ra ana' -na moto. Napopohiloi-ra baraka' -na. Ngkai pojanci Alata'ala hi to Israel owi, ria posidaia' -ra hante Alata'ala. Nawai' -ra Atura-na, natudui' -ra ada mpepue' -ra. Wori' pojanci Alata'ala to lompe' hi to Israel.

⁴Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

⁵Hira' toe muli Abraham, Ishak pai' Yakub, totu'a-ra owi to napelihi Alata'ala. Pai' hi kaputu-na Magau' Topetolo' mewali manusia', putu ngkai muli to Israel wo'o-i-wadi-hawo. Magau' Topetolo' toei meliu kuasa-na ngkai hawe'ea, Hi'a-mi Alata'ala to masipato' ta'une' duu' kahae-hae-na. Amin!

⁵Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

⁶Tempo toi, kaworia' to Yahudi uma napobagia Alata'ala. Aga neo' ta'uli' hewa toi: "Alata'ala uma mpo'ihii' janci-na hi to Yahudi." Uma makono lolita toe! Apa' uma hawe'ea muli Israel to napelihi Alata'ala jadi' bagia-na.

⁶Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

⁷Uma hawe'ea muli Abraham to jadi' ana' Abraham mpu'u. Apa' hewa toi lolita Alata'ala hi Abraham: "Muntu' muli Ishak-wadi to jadi' muli-nu ntuku' janci-ku, bela muli-nu to ntani' -na."

⁷Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

⁸Batua-na: uma kabua' -bua' tauna to napomuli wotoloka' Abraham to jadi' ana' -ana' Alata'ala. Muntu' tauna to putu ntuku' pojanci Alata'ala-wadi to jadi' ana' -na.

⁸That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

⁹Ana' Abraham to rahanga' Ishak putu ntuku' pojanci Alata'ala hi Abraham. Alata'ala mpo'uli' -ki Abraham hewa toi: "Tumai-a mpai' mpae boko', pai' Sara tobine-nu mo'ana', mpo'ote hadua ana' tomane."

⁹For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.

¹⁰Pai' uma muntu' toe, hi tutura Esau pai' Yakub monoto tena tahilo beiwa Alata'ala mpopelihi tauna jadi' bagia-na. Esau pai' Yakub toera, ana' to moropa' to na'ote Ribka. Tuama-ra hadua lau-wadi, hanga' -na Ishak, ntu'a-ta owi.

¹⁰And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;

¹²Nto'u-na Ribka neo' mo'ana' -mi, Alata'ala mpo'uli' -ki: "Ana' ulumua' -nu mpai' mengkoru hi tu'ai-na." Nto'u pololita toe, ana' to rodua toe ko'ia-ra putu, pai' ko'ia-ra mpobabehi napa-napa to lompe' ba to dada'a. Tapi' nto'u toe-mi Alata'ala mpakatantu ami' to'uma to napelihi mporata gane' -na. Patuju Alata'ala mpobabehi hewa toe, bona monoto mpu'u tahilo: ane Alata'ala mpopelihi tauna jadi' bagia-na, uma-ra napelihi sabana po'ingku-ra. Napelihi-rale ngkai kabotu' -na moto-hawo.

¹¹(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

¹³Hi rala Buku Tomoroli' tabasa Lolita Alata'ala tohe'i: "Muli Yakub to kupelihi, muli Esau uma."

¹²It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

¹⁴Aga neo' ta'uli' hewa toi: "Ane Alata'ala mpopelihi to hadua pai' mpoka'oja' to hadua, uma-i monoa'!" Uma-e' makono lolita toe!

¹³As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

¹⁵Kiwoi-dile lolita Alata'ala hi nabi Musa owi to mpo'uli': Aku' moto-kuwo to mpobotuhi hema to kupopohiloi ahi' -ku pai' hema to kupe'ahi'."

¹⁴What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

¹⁶Jadi', ane Alata'ala doko' mpopohiloi ahi' -na hi tau hadua, bela konoa manusia' to mpobotuhi toe, bela wo'o pobago manusia'. Alata'ala moto-wadi to mpobotuhi.

¹⁵For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

¹⁷Kiwoi wo'o lolita Alata'ala hi Firaun, magau' tana' Mesir owi, to mpo'uli': "Ku'ongko' -ko jadi' magau' hante hanyala lau-wadi patuju-ku: bona ngkai pesapuaka-nu kupopohiloi kabaraka' -ku, alaa-na mpai' hanga' -ku rapomobohe hi humalili' dunia'."

¹⁶So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

¹⁸Jadi', Alata'ala mpopohiloi ahi' -na hi tau hadua, pai' napokatu'a nono to hadua. Nababehi toe ntuku' konoa-na moto.

¹⁷For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

¹⁹Jadi', bate ria mpai' tauna to mpo'uli' hewa toi: "Ane hewa toe-di, napa-hana pai' Alata'ala mposalai' kehi-ta to dada'a, apa' kehi-ta toe bate ntuku' kabotu' -na ami' -midie!"

¹⁸Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

²⁰Neo' ta'uli' hewa toe, ompi'! Uma-hawo bela ohea-na ane kita' manusia' mehono' hewa toe hi Alata'ala. Ha natao hameha' kura mpo'uli' -ki tauna to mpobabehi-i hewa toi: "Napa-di-kona pai' nubabehi hewa toi-ae?"

¹⁹Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

²¹Ria huraa-na topobabehi mpobabehi kura ntuku' konoa-na moto-hawo. Ngkai haluntea tana' pulu', ma'ala nababehi hameha' kura to napenasa pai' hameha' to uli' kanababehi-na.

²⁰Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

²²Wae wo'o hante Alata'ala: ria kuasa-na mpobabehi napa konoa-na hante kita' manusia'. Kakoo-kono-na, dota moto-i mpokaroe tauna to dada'a pai' mpopohiloi baraka' -na, apa' masipato' lia-ra rahuku' duu' kahae-hae-na. Aga nau' wae, mosabara-i-pidi hi tauna to natao nakaroe toera.

²¹Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

²³Nababehi toe bona mpopohiloi ka'uma-na mowo kabohe tuwu' -na hi tauna to napoka'ahi' pai' to napakasadia ami' -mi mporata bagia hi rala kabohe tuwu' -na toe.

²²What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

²⁴Kita' toi-mi to nakio' mporata rasi' toe, uma muntu' ngkai olo' to Yahudi-wadi, tapi' ngkai olo' -ra to bela-ra to Yahudi wo'o.

²³And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

²⁵Hi rala sura nabi Hosea, Alata'ala mpo'uli' hewa toi: Tauna to bela-ra topetuku' -ku pai' to uma mpo'incai ahi' -ku, kukio' -ra mpai' jadi' topetuku' -ku pai' kupopohiloi-ra ahi' -ku."

²⁴Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

²⁶"Owi Alata'ala mpo'uli' -raka: `Bela-koi bagia-ku.' Tapi' rata mpai' tempo-na tauna toera rapololitai hewa toi: `Napo'ana' mpu'u-mokoi Alata'ala to Tuwu'!'"

²⁵As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

²⁷Wae-mi lolita Alata'ala to mpotompo'wiwi-ra to bela-ra to Yahudi. Aga ane tauna to Yahudi-hana, ria lolita nabi Yesaya to lonto' lia to mpotompo'wiwi-ra. Moni-na hewa toi: Tauna to napomuli-ki Israel, wori' lia, hewa kawori' wo'one hi wiwi' tahi'. Aga nau' wae, hangkedi' -wadi mpai' to mporata kalompea'.

²⁶And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

²⁸Apa' rata mpai' tempo-na Pue' mpobotuhi kara-kara hawe'ea tauna hi dunia' hante kanoa' -noa' -na, naposipolea mpu'u-mi, uma-pi naderu' -deru' tempo-na."

²⁷Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

²⁹Ria wo'o lolita pelowa nabi Yesaya to mpo'uli': Ane rapa' -na Pue' Alata'ala to mobaraka' uma mpetoro-taka ba hangkuja dua pomuli, ke ropu' mpu'u-tamo, hewa pue' ngata Sodom pai' Gomora owi."

²⁸For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

³⁰Jadi', hewa toi lolita-ku: Tauna to bela-ra to Israel, uma-ra mpopali' ohea-ra bona jadi' monoa' hi poncilo Alata'ala. Aga ria moto-ra hantongo' to jadi' monoa' hi poncilo-na. Alata'ala mpomonoa' -ra hi poncilo-na sabana pepangala' -ra.

²⁹And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

³¹To Israel, mahae-ramo doko' jadi' monoa' hi poncilo Alata'ala hi petuku' -ra hi Atura Pue' to naparata Musa, tapi' uma oa' raratai to rapali' toe.

³⁰What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

³²Uma raratai, apa' mpoperaha-ra po'ingku-ra mpotuku' Atura Pue', uma ngkai pepangala' -ra hi Alata'ala. Tewinci' -ra hi watu katewincia'-- batua-na: uma-ra dota mepangala' hi Magau' Topetolo'.

³¹But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

³³Katewinci' -ra toe telowa ami' -mi hi rala Buku Tomoroli' owi. Na'uli' Alata'ala hewa toi: Mpu'u-mpu'u ku'uli': Magau' to kutu'u hi Bulu' Sion, kurapai' -ki hameha' watu. Wori' tauna tewinci' hi watu toe, alaa-ra tehopo'. Aga hema-hema to mepangala' hi Hi'a, uma-ra mpai' hala'nawu'."

³²Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

³³As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
