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

¹O chachimos phenav, le Kristosko sim ai chi xoxavav, ke murho ilo pherdo lo katar o Swunto Duxo, ai mothol mange ke o chachimos si.

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

²Baro nekazo si ma, ai ande murho ilo sagda iek nekazo si ma pala murho narodoske.

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

³Manglemas te avav dino armaia katar O Del, ai te na mai avav le Kristosa te sai aven murhe phral skepime, murhe phralenge le Zhiduvuria.

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

⁴Won andai vitsa le Zhidovongi; O Del kerdia anda lende peske shave ai dia le te avel peske luvudimasa lensa; kerdia lensa shinaimata ai dia len o zakono; dia le te rhuginpe ai dia le shinaimata;

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

⁵Won si andai vitsa le phurenge, ai o Kristo, sar iek manush, vi wo si anda lenge vitsa, wo kai si opral pa swako fialo, O Del te avel Swuntsome anda swako vriama! Amen.

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

⁶Ai chi mothav ke E Vorba le Devleski chi kerdia kanchi; Ke sa kodola kai si andai vitsa le Zhidovonge nai savorhe chache Zhiduvuria.

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

⁷Ai kodola kai si andai vitsa le Abrahamoski nai savorhe chache shave le Abrahamoske, ke O Del phendia le Abrahamoske ferdi kodola kai si andai vitsa le Isaakoske avena jinde sar te aven chire."

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.

⁸Kodia si nai le shave kai kerdile e pervo data kai si le shave le Devleske numa ferdi kodola shave kai sas shinade katar O Del si jinde sa le chache anda kodia vitsa.

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

⁹Ke eta so phendia O Del kana shinadia, "Kana avela e vriama avava palpale ai Sarah avela la iek shav.

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

¹⁰Ai mai le dui shave la Rebekake sa iek dat sas le, amaro dat o Isaak.

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),

¹¹Numa O Del zhanel sar te alol le manushen, lesko alomos si sar akharela len wo ai na ke won keren vari so te sikaven ke saikfialo beshen sar mangel O Del.

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

¹²O Del phendia la Rebekake, kana lake shave inker chi kerdile sas, ai chi kerde sas chi mishtimos ai chi nasulimos; ke lako shav o mai baro podaila le mai ternes.

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

¹³Sar si ramome ande Vorba le Devleski, "Drago sas mange o Iakov, ai gratsia sas mange o Esau.

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

¹⁴So te mothas? Ke O Del chi kerel vorta? Nichi.

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.

¹⁵Ke phendia le Mosesoske, "Avela mange mila anda kaste mangav te avel mange mila, ai avela mange drago anda kaste mangava te avel mange drago.'

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

¹⁶No kodia nai katar o manush ke mangel vai te kerel vari so, numa ferdi O Del si kai si leske mila.

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.

¹⁷Ande Vorba le Devleski O Del mothol le amperatoske kai si ande Egypt o Pharaoh, "Thodem tu te aves amperato saxke te sikavav ande tute murhi putiera, ai te kerav te zhanen murho anav pe sa e lumia."

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

¹⁸No le Devleske si mila anda kaste mangel, ai zuralel o ilo kodolesko kai mangel.

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

¹⁹Amborim phenena mange, "Te si kadia, so si kai O Del inker arakhel shipki pel manush? Ke kon sai inkerel kai putiera le Devleski?"

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?

²⁰Numa kon san tu, manusha, kai des atweto le Devles? Pate o khoro la chikako phushel kodoles kai kerdia les? Sostar kerdian anda mande kadia?

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

²¹O manush kai kerel buchi la chikasa kerel so mangel andai chik, sa anda iek chik sai kerel iek khoro kai mol kuchi, ai vi sai kerel iek prosto khoro.

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;

²²Apo so si tume te mothon pa Del, manglia te sikavel peski xoli, saxke te sikavel leski putiera. Anda kodia rhevdisardia but ai azhukerdia kodolen kai trobulas te xoliavol pe lende, ai kai sai mudardino le.

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

²³Numa manglia vi te sikavel sode lesko barimos, barvalo lo amenge, No mila leske anda amende, kai lashardia mai anglal te las lesko barimos.

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

²⁴Ke ame sam kodola kai akhardia ame, na ferdi mashkar le Zhiduvuria, numa vi mashkar le kolaver thema.

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

²⁵Ai kodia mothol ande Vorba le Devleske ando Hosea, "Kodola kai nas anda murho narodo, akharava le murho narodo; ai o them kai nas mange drago, avela mange kodo them drago.

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.

²⁶Ai kotse kai mothonas lenge 'Ke nai murho narodo,' avena akharde shave le Devleske kai si zhuvindo."

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:

²⁷O Isaiah mothol pai Israel, "Kana sa o narodo le shave le Israelonge avena sar e chishai la mariaki, ferdi xantsi avena skepime.

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.

²⁸Ke O Del kerela so godi phendia ai sigo peski vorba pe phuv."

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.

²⁹Ai sar phendiasas o Esais mai anglal, te na meklino amenge O Del xantsi anda amari vitsa, iame aviliamas sar o Sodom sas te miazovas po Gormorrha.

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.

³⁰Apo so te mothas andal manush? Kai nai Zhiduvuria, ai kai chi roden te aven vorta angla Del, kerdile vorta angla Del katar pengo pachamos.

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

³¹Numa le Zhiduvuria, kai rodenas iek zakono te kerel anda lende te aven vorta angla Del, chi aresle te arakhen kasavestar zakono.

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

³²Sostar? Ke chi rodenas te aven vorta angla Del anda pachamos, numa gindinas ke sai aven vorta angla Del penga buchasa, pele pa bax kai peravel,

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.

³³Kai E Vorba le Devleski mothol pa leste, "Dikhen, tsav ando Zion iek bax kai kerela le manush te peraven, iek bax kai kerel le te peraven; numa kodo kai pachalpe ande leste chi avela leske lazhav.
