¹Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,

¹Runtaan ku sheegayaa Masiixa, oo been sheegi maayo, qalbigayguna marag buu iigu furayaa Ruuxa Quduuskaa

²that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart —

²in caloolxumo weyn iyo xanuun aan joogsanaynin ay ku jiraan qalbigayga.

³for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ — for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,

³Waayo, waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan aniga qudhaydu ka inkaarnaado Masiixa walaalahay aawadood oo ah xigaalkayga aannu isku jidhka nahay,

⁴who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,

⁴kuwa ah reer binu Israa'iil, oo leh carruur-ka-dhigidda, iyo ammaanta, iyo axdiyada, iyo sharciga siintiisa, iyo u-adeegidda Ilaah, iyo ballamada,

⁵whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.

⁵kuwa awowayaasha leh, oo xagga jidhka Masiixu ka yimid iyaga, kan wax walba ka sarreeya oo ah Ilaah ammaanta leh weligiis. Aamiin.

⁶And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;

⁶Laakiin mana aha sidii iyadoo ereygii Ilaah dhacay. Waayo, kuwa Israa'iil ka dhashay kulligood reer binu Israa'iil ma wada aha.

⁷nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but — `in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;`

⁷Farcankii Ibraahim oo ay yihiin aawadeed kulligood carruur kuma wada aha, laakiin waxaa la yidhi, Kuwa Isxaaq ka farcama ayaa farcankaaga loogu yeedhi doonaa.

⁸that is, the children of the flesh — these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;

⁸Taas waxaa weeyaan, inaan carruurta jidhku ahayn carruurta Ilaah, laakiin carruurtii loo ballanqaaday ayaa farcan lagu tiriyaa.

⁹for the word of promise [is] this; `According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.`

⁹Waayo, kanu waa hadal ballan ah, Wakhtigan oo kale ayaan kuu iman doonaa, oo Saarah waxay dhali doontaa wiil.

¹⁰And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one — Isaac our father —

¹⁰Oo taas oo keliyana ma ahee, laakiin Rebeqahna mid bay u uuraysatay, kaas oo ahaa aabbeheen Isxaaq.

¹¹(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 —

¹¹Waayo, carruurta oo aan weli dhalan oo aan weli samayn wanaag iyo xumaan midna, in qasdiga Ilaah doorashada ku istaago, oo uusan ahaan xagga shuqullada, laakiin xagga kii dadka u yeedha,

¹²`The greater shall serve the less;`

¹²waxaa iyada lagu yidhi, Kan weynu wuxuu u adeegi doonaa kan ka yar.

¹³according as it hath been written, `Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.`

¹³Sida qoran, Yacquub waan jeclaaday, Ceesawse waan necbaaday.

¹⁴What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!

¹⁴Maxaan nidhaahnaa haddaba? Ma xaqdarro baa Ilaah la jirta? Ma suurtowdo!

¹⁵for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;`

¹⁵Waayo, wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Waan u naxariisan doonaa kii aan u naxariisto, waanan u nixi doonaa, kii aan u naxo.

¹⁶so, then — not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:

¹⁶Sidaas daraaddeed xagga kan doonaya ma aha, xagga kan ordana ma aha, laakiinse waa xagga Ilaaha naxariista leh.

¹⁷for 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;`

¹⁷Waayo, Qorniinku wuxuu Fircoon ku leeyahay, Tan daraaddeed baan kuu sara kiciyey inaan xooggayga adiga kaa dhex muujiyo iyo in magacayga dhulka oo dhan lagu faafiyo.

¹⁸so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.

¹⁸Haddaba kuu doonayo wuu u naxariistaa, kuu doonayona qalbigiisuu engejiyaa.

¹⁹Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?`

¹⁹Waxaad igu odhan doontaa, Muxuu weli ii eedaynayaa? Waayo, yaa doonistiisa ka gees noqda?

²⁰nay, 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?

²⁰Laakiinse, nin yahow, kumaad tahay kaaga Ilaah u jawaabayow? Wixii la sameeyey miyey kii sameeyey ku odhan doonaan, Maaxad sidan noogu samaysay?

²¹hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?

²¹Dheriyasameeyuhu miyuusan lahayn amar uu ugu taliyo dhoobada inuu fud keliya in ka sameeyo weel cisa leh, inta kalena mid aan cisa lahayn?

²²And 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,

²²Bal maxay la tahay Ilaah haddii, isagoo doonaya inuu cadhadiisa muujiyo oo xooggiisa dadka ogeysiiyo, uu samir badan ugu dulqaatay weelasha cadhada oo loo diyaariyey baabbi'idda,

²³and 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 —

²³iyo inuu hodantinimadii ammaantiisa ogeysiiyo weelasha naxariista oo uu hore ugu diyaariyey ammaanta,

²⁴not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,

²⁴xataa kuweenna uu u yeedhay oo uusan uga yeedhin Yuhuudda oo keliya laakiinse uu uga yeedhay quruumaha kalena?

²⁵as also in Hosea He saith, `I will call what [is] not My people — My people; and her not beloved — Beloved,

²⁵Siduu Hooseeca ka dhex yidhi, Kuwo aan dadkaygii ahayn ayaan u bixin doonaa, Dadkayga, Tu aan ahayn gacalisadaydiina waxaan u bixin doonaa, Gacaliso.

²⁶and 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.`

²⁶Oo waxay noqon doontaa, meeshii laga yidhi iyaga, Dadkayga ma ihidin, Meeshaas waxaa looga bixin doonaa, Carruurtii Ilaaha nool.

²⁷And 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;

²⁷Oo Isayos wuxuu ku qayliyey wax Israa'iil ku saabsan isagoo leh, In kastoo tirada reer binu Israa'iil noqoto sida cammuudda badda, intii hadhay waa badbaadi doontaa,

²⁸for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.

²⁸waayo, Rabbigu hadalkiisa dhulkuu ku samayn doonaa, isagoo dhammaystiraya oo soo gaabinaya,

²⁹and 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.`

²⁹oo sidii Isayos hore u yidhi, Haddaan Rabbigii Saba'ood farcan inoo reebin, Sidii Sodom baan noqon lahayn, oo sidii Gomora baa laynaga dhigi lahaa.

³⁰What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,

³⁰Maxaan nidhaahnaa haddaba? Dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn oo aan xaqnimada raacin, waxay heleen xaqnimada, oo ah xaqnimada rumaysad lagu helo;

³¹and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

³¹laakiin reer binu Israa'iil iyagoo raaca sharciga xaqnimada, sharcigaas ma ay gaadhin.

³²wherefore? because — not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,

³²Tan sababteedu waa maxay? Maxaa yeelay, rumaysad kuma ay doondoonin, shuqullada samayntooda mooyaane. Waxay ku turunturoodeen dhagaxii turunturada;sida qoran, Bal eega, waxaan Siyoon dhex dhigayaa dhagax lagu turunturoodo oo ah sallax lagu xumaado; Oo kii rumaysta isaga ma ceeboobi doono.

³³according 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.`

³³sida qoran, Bal eega, waxaan Siyoon dhex dhigayaa dhagax lagu turunturoodo oo ah sallax lagu xumaado; Oo kii rumaysta isaga ma ceeboobi doono.
