¹Eguia diot Christean, eztiot gueçurric, neure conscientiác halaber testificatzen drautalaric Spiritu sainduaz,

¹I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,

²Ecen tristitia handia, eta tormenta ardurazcoa dudala neure bihotzean.

²that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,

³Ecen desir nuque ni neuror Christganic separatua nincén neure anayeacgatic, cein baitirade ene ahaide haraguiaren arauez:

³for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;

⁴Cein baitirade Israeltár: ceinena baita adoptionea, eta gloriá, eta alliançác, eta Leguearen ordenançá, eta cerbitzu diuinoa eta promessac:

⁴who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;

⁵Ceinenac baitirade Aitác, eta hetaric da Christ haraguiaren arauez, cein baita gauça gucién gaineco Iainco, eternalqui benedicatua. Amen.

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

⁶Badaric-ere ecin date Iaincoaren hitza erori den: ecen eztirade Israeleco diraden guciac, Israel.

⁶Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel;

⁷Eta ceren Abrahamen haci diraden eztirade halacotz guciac haour, baina Isaactan haci deithuren çaic hiri.

⁷nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.

⁸Erran nahi da, eztiradela haraguiaren haour diradenac, ha1acotz Iaincoaren haour: baina promessaren haour diradenac estimatzen diradela hacitan.

⁸That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.

⁹Ecen promessaren hitza haur da, Dembora hunetan ethorriren naiz, eta Sarac vkanen du semebat.

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

¹⁰Eta ez haur solament, baina Rebeccac-ere batganic concebitu çuenean, baitzén, gure aita Isaacganic.

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

¹¹Ecen oraino haourrac sorthu gabe, eta hec vnguiric ez gaizquiric eguin gabe (Iaincoaren ordenançá electionearen araura legoençát,

¹¹[the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),

¹²Ez obrén baina deitzen duenaren partez) erran içan çayon hari, Guehienac cerbitzaturen din chipiena.

¹²it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less:

¹³Scribatua den beçala, Iacob onhetsi dut eta Esau gaitzetsi.

¹³according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.

¹⁴Cer beraz erranen dugu? Ala da iniustitiaric Iaincoa baithan? Guertha eztadila.

¹⁴What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.

¹⁵Ecen Moysesi erraiten drauca, Pietate vkanen diát pietate eguin nahi vkanen draucadanaz, eta misericordia eguinen diarocat misericordia eguin nahi vkanen draucadanari.

¹⁵For he says to Moses, I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy, and I will feel compassion for whom I will feel compassion.

¹⁶Halacotz beraz electionea ezta nahi duenaren, ez laster eguiten duenaren, baina Iainco misericordia eguiten duenaren.

¹⁶So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.

¹⁷Ecen badiotsa Scripturác Pharaori, Hunetacotz ber suscitatu aut, eracuts deçadançát hitan neure botherea, eta denuntia dadinçát ene icena lur gucian.

¹⁷For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst [men], that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth.

¹⁸Beraz nahi duenari misericordia eguiten drauca, eta nahi duena gogortzen du.

¹⁸So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens.

¹⁹Erranen drautac bada niri, Cergatic oraino arranguratzen da? ecen nor da haren vorondateari resisti ahal dieçaqueona?

¹⁹Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose?

²⁰Bainaitzitic, o guiçoná, hi nor aiz Iaincoaren contra replicatzen duana? Ala erranen drauca gauça moldatuac hura moldatu duenari, Cergatic hunelaco eguin nauc?

²⁰Aye, but thou, O man, who art *thou* that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

²¹Ala eztu lur-tupinaguileac orhe ber batetaric eguiteco bothere, vnci bataren ohoretaco, eta bercearen desohoretaco?

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

²²Eta cer da, baldin eracutsi nahiz Iaincoac hirá, eta eçagut eraci nahiz bere botherea, suffritu baditu patientia handitan hirazco vnci galtzecotzat apprestatuac?

²²And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;

²³Eta bere gloriazco abrastassunén eçagut eraciteco misericordiazco vnci gloriataco apprestatu dituenetara?

²³and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,

²⁴Cein deithu-ere baititu diot gu, ez solament Iuduetaric, baina Gentiletaric-ere.

²⁴us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations?

²⁵Nola Osea baithan-ere erraiten baitu, Deithuren dut ene populu etzena, neure populu: eta niçaz onhetsi etzena, neure onhetsi.

²⁵As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved.

²⁶Eta içanen da, erran içan çayen lekuan, Etzarete ene populu çuec, han deithuren baitirade Iainco viciaren haour.

²⁶And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, *Ye* [are] not my people, there shall they be called Sons of [the] living God.

²⁷Esaias-ere oihuz dago Israelen gainean, Israeleco haourrén contua itsassoco sablea beçala licen orduan, restançác dirade saluaturen

²⁷But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:

²⁸Ecen Iaunac acabatzen eta laburtzen du beharquia iustitiarequin: ceren beharqui laburtubat eguinen baitu Iaunac lurraren gainean.

²⁸for [he] is bringing the matter to an end, and [cutting [it] short in righteousness; because] a cutting short of the matter will [the] Lord accomplish upon the earth.

²⁹Eta lehen Esaiasec erran çuen beçala, Baldin armadén Iaunac vtzi ezpaleraucu hacia, Sodoma beçalacatu guinatequeen, eta Gomorrha irudi vkan guenduqueen.

²⁹And according as Esaias said before, Unless [the] Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha.

³⁰Cer beraz erranen dugu? Ecen Gentil iustitiari etzarreitzanéc, iustitia ardietsl vkan dutela: etare iustitia fedezcoa:

³⁰What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith.

³¹Baina Israel, iustitiazco Legueari çarreicalaric, iustitiazco Leguera eztela heldu içan.

³¹But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law.

³²Cergatic? ceren ezpaita haur içan fedez, baina Legueco obréz beçala: ecen behaztopatu içan dirade behaztopagarrico harrian.

³²Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,

³³Scribatua den beçala, Huná, eçarten dut Sionen behaztopagarrico harria, eta trebucagarrico harria: eta nor-ere baita hura baithan sinhesten duena, ezta confus içanen.

³³according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
