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.

¹I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,

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

²that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.

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.

³For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh,

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!

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

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.

⁵of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

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."

⁶But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.

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.

⁷Neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children. But, “In Isaac will your seed be called.” Genesis 21:12

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."

⁸That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.

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.

⁹For this is a word of promise, “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.” Genesis 18:10,14

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.

¹⁰Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.

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

¹¹For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls, NA puts the phrase “not of works, but of him who calls” at the beginning of verse 12 instead of the end of verse 11.

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!

¹²it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.” Genesis 25:23

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'."

¹³Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” Malachi 1:2-3

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.

¹⁴What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!

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'."

¹⁵For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” Exodus 33:19

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

¹⁶So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.

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!"

¹⁷For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” Exodus 9:16

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?"

¹⁸So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.

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.

¹⁹You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”

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.

²⁰But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” Isaiah 29:16; 45:9

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.

²¹Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?

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.

²²What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,

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."

²³and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,

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'!'"

²⁴us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?

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'.

²⁵As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.” Hosea 2:23

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."

²⁶“It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ There they will be called ‘children of the living God.’” Hosea 1:10

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."

²⁷Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;

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.

²⁸for He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth.” Isaiah 10:22-23

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.

²⁹As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies Greek: Sabaoth (for Hebrew: Tze’va’ot) had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.” Isaiah 1:9

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'.

³⁰What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

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'."

³¹but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.

³²Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

³³even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.” Isaiah 8:14; 28:16
