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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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;

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

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.

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

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

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

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."

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 —

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.

¹²`The greater shall serve the less;`

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

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

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

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

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.'

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

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

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

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."

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;`

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

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

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

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

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?

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?

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.

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?

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.

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,

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

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 —

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

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

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.

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

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

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.`

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

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;

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

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

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.

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.`

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.

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

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

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

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,

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

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.

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.`
