Men Rom 9
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1NAI kin lokaia melel ren Krijtuj, o i jota kin likam, pwe injen ai o Nen jaraui kadede ia da,
1I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.
2Me i kin patautau o injenjued nan monion i kaukaule.
2I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
3Pwe pein nai inon ion en riala, pwen dooki wei jan Krijtuj pweki ri ai kan ni pali uduk.
3For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,
4lei men Ijrael me udan jeri en Ko t, me ar linan, o inau kan, o kapun, o upa Kot, o kokop akan mia,
4the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.
5Me jamaneki jam atail akan me Krijtuj pil tapi jan ia ni pali uduk a, me poedi meakaroj, iei Kot me iajanai kokolata, amen.
5Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen.
6Pwe kaidin dene majan en Kot jo pwaida, pwe kaidin karoj men Ijrael, me tikidar Ijrael;
6It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
7Pil kaidin karoj jeri kan, me kijan kadaudok en Apraam; pwe jan ren Ijaak kadaudok om pan tapi jan ia.
7Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
8Ari, kaidin irail jeri en Kot akan, me jeri kan ni tiak en uduk, a jeri en inau kan pan wad on kadaudok o.
8So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.
9Pwe i majan, majan en inau eu: Ni anjau o I pan kodo, a Jara pan naitikada jeri ol amen.
9For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
10A kaidin i eta, pwe pil Repeka lao lijean on jam atail Ijaak.
10Not only that, but Rebecca’s children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.
11Pwe ni anjau jeri ko kaikenta ipwidier, o pil kaikenta wiadar meakot mau de me jued, o pwe kupur en Kot en pwaida, kaidin ni wiawia a ni lipilipil ren me piladar o,
11Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,
12A kotin majani on i: Me laud o pan papa me tikitik!
12not by works but by Him who calls, she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
13Duen a intinidier: lakop me I pok on er, a Ejau me I likidmalielar.
13So it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14Ari, da me kitail en inda? Kot me japun? O jo!
14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!
15Pwe a kotin majani on Mojej: I pan maki on, me I men maki on, o I pan pokepoke, me I men pokepoke.
15For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16Ari, jota katepa, ma amen pan pein inon ion de tane wei, a ma Kot pan kotin maki on amen.
16So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
17Pwe kijin likau me katitiki on Parao: Nan iet me I kilele uk adar, pwe I en kajale kida uk ai manaman, o pwe mar ai en indandeki jili ni jap akan karoj.
17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
18Ari, a kin kotin maki on, me a kotin kupura, ap kapitakaila, duen me a kotin mauki.
18Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.
19Koe ap pan indan ia: Ari da me a kailon kin ia? Pwe ij me kak palian kupur a?
19One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”
20Ei melel aramaj koe, ij koe, me men palian Kot? Da, dipijou pan indai on me wiadar i: Menda koe wiai on ia momuei?
20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”
21Pala jaun wiada dal jota manaman on, en wia kida lopon en pwel ota dal eu me kajelel, de eu me jakanekan?
21Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?
22A Kot kotin kanonama on dal jued akan, me wiauier on lokidokila, ni a men kajaleda a onion o manaman,
22What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?
23O a pil men kotin kajaleda a dir en linan ki dal en a mak kan, me a kotin kaonopadar maj o en linanla.
23What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—
24Iei kitail, me a kotin waron do, kaidin jan ren Juj akan eta, a pil jan ren men liki kan.
24including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?
25Duen a pil kotin majanier nan puk en Ojea: I pan kaadaneki irail, me kaidin nai, nai aramaj akan, o me jo kompoke pai, kompoke pai.
25As He says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘My People’ who are not My people, and I will call her ‘My Beloved’ who is not My beloved,”
26A pan wiaui waja o me a loki on irail: Komail kaidin nai aramaj, i waja re pan adaneki jeri en Kot ieiaj.
26and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
27A Iejaia likelikwir duen men Ijrael: Ma jeri en Ijrael akan pan raj on pik en oror, lua ta pan maurela. iej.
27Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
28Pwe a pan kotin kairela japwilim a dodok o kamode kila ni a pun, pwe Kaun o pan kotin wiada dok motomot nin jappa.
28For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively.”
29O duen Iejaia majanier maj o: Ma Kaun Jepaot jo nikideki on kitail kaparapar, kitail pan dueta Jodom o Komora.
29It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”
30Ari, da me kitail en inda duen men liki kan me jota rapaki pun, re diaradar pun, a pun eu, me tapi jan pojon.
30What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
31A men Ijrael me inon ion kapwaiada kujoned en pun, ap jota konodi kujoned wet.
31but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
32Pwekida? Pwekia jota tapi jan ni pojon a ni wiawia kan, pwe irail dipikelekeleki takai en dipikelekel.
32Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33Duen a intinidier: Kilan, I pajonedi takai eu nan Jion, takai en dipikelekel eu o paip en kamakar. A me pan pojon i, a jota pan jarodi.
33as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
