¹I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying 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 sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.

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

³For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the 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, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, 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;

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

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

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

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, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a 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 is a word of promise, “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.” Genesis 18:10,14

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

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

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

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.

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 elder will serve the younger.” Genesis 25:23

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.

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

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? May it never be!

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

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

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 who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has 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 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

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, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.

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

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

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

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

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 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?

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.

²²What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made 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 on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand 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 also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?

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 them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.” Hosea 2:23

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.

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

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

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;

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 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

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

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

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 shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is 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, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.

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

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

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,

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

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.
