Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
1Nga kaskas pwayena. Nga ma lun Christ, ac nga tia kikiap. Nunak lun insiuk, su kolyuk sin Ngun Mutal, akpwayeye nu sik lah nga tia kikiap
2that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
2ke nga fahk lah nga arulana asor yohk, ac keok lun insiuk tia ku in wanginla
3For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
3ke sripen mwet srahk sifacna, mwet Jew! Ke sripalos nga kena tuh ngan sifacna eisyuyang nu ye selnga lun God ac sriyukla liki Christ, fin ac tuh ku in kasrelos.
4who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
4Elos mwet sulosolla lun God; El oru tuh elos in ma natul ac sang wolana lal nu selos; El oakiya wulela saok lal yorolos ac sang nu selos Ma Sap; alu pwaye oasr selos; elos eis wuleang puspis sin God;
5of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.
5elos tuku ke fwilin tulik nutin papa matu pwengpeng lun mwet Israel; ac Christ, ke el moul in luman mwet, el ma pac wialos. Lela God, su Leum fin ma nukewa, in kaksakinyuk nwe tok! 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.
6Nga tia fahk mu wuleang lun God tia akpwayeyuk; mweyen tia mwet Israel nukewa elos mwet sulosolla lun God.
7Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
7Tia pac fwilin tulik nukewa natul Abraham pa tulik nutin God. Tuh God El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Isaac pa ac sot fwilin tulik nutum ma nga wuleot nu sum.”
8That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
8Kalmen ma se inge pa tulik ma isus ke ouiya lun mwet, elos tia pangpang tulik nutin God; a tulik ma isusla ke sripen wuleang lun God, elos inge pa fwilin tulik na pwaye natul.
9For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
9Mweyen wuleang lun God tuh orekla ke kas inge: “Ke pacl fal nga fah foloko, ac Sarah el fah oswela sie wen.”
10Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
10Ac tia ma inge mukena. Tuh wen luo natul Rebecca eltal papa sefanna, su Isaac, papa matu tumasr.
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,
11Meet liki eltal isusla ku oru kutena ma wo ku koluk, God El oru sulela lal sifacna ac akkalemye lah siena sin tulik luo ah pa ac akfalye sripa lal.
12it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
12Ouinge El fahk nu sel Rebecca mu, “El su matu fah kulansupu el su fusr.” Na pa kalem lah sulela se inge orekla fal nu ke pang lun God, ac tia ke sripen kutena ma eltal oru.
13Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
13Oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Nga tuh lungse Jacob, a nga tia lungse Esau.”
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
14Na mea, kut ac fahk mu God El sesuwos? Mo, tiana ku.
15For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
15Tuh El fahk nu sel Moses, “Nga fah kulang nu sin kutena su nga lungse kulang nu se; nga fah pakoten nu sin kutena su nga lungse pakomuta.”
16So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
16Ke ma inge, ma nukewa orek fal nu ke kulang lun God, ac tia ke lungse ac orekma lun mwet.
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.”
17Tuh Ma Simusla fahk nu sin tokosra lun acn Egypt, “Nga orekom in tokosra tuh nga fah orekmakin kom in akkalemye ku luk, ac tuh pweng keik fah sulkakinyukelik fin faclu nufon.”
18So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
18Ouinge, God El fin lungse kulang nu sin sie mwet, na El oru oana lungse lal, ac El fin lungse akupaye insien sie mwet, na El oru oapana.
19You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
19Sahp sie suwos ac siyuk sik, “Fin ouinge, na efu ku God Elan nununku mwet uh ke ma koluk lalos? Mea, oasr mwet ku in lain lungse lun God?”
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?”
20Na su kom an, mwet kawuk luk, tuh kom in kaskas lain God? Sie ahlu orekla ke fohk kle tia ku in kusen siyuk nu sin mwet se ma oralla, “Efu ku kom oreyula in lumah se inge?”
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?
21Tuh mwet se ma orala ahlu sac, oasr suwohs lal in orekmakin kle sac oana lemlem lal, ac in oru ahlu luo ke srukwal in kle sefanna — sie ma nu ke len lulap mukena, ac sie ma in orekmakinyuk len nukewa.
22What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
22In ouiya se pacna inge, God El tuh lungse akkalemye mulat lal, ac oru tuh ku lal in eteyuk. Tusruktu El arulana mongfisrasr in mutangalos su sripauk kasrkusrak lal, su El akola in kunauselosla.
23and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
23Ac El oayapa lungse akkalemye kasrpen wolana lal, su El ase nu sesr su El pakomuta. Aok, El nuna akola meet tuh kut in eis wolana lal.
24us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
24Na kut pa mwet su El pangon uh, tia inmasrlon mwet Jew mukena a oayapa inmasrlon mwet sayen mwet Jew.
25As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
25Pa inge ma El fahk in book lal Hosea: “Mwet su tia ma luk meet, Nga fah pangon ‘Mwet Luk.’ Mutanfahl ma nga tia lungse meet, Nga fah pangon ‘Mwet Kulo Luk.’
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.’”
26Ac in acn se na ma fwackyang nu selos, ‘Kowos tia mwet luk,’ Elos ac fah pangpang wen nutin God moul.”
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;
27Ac Isaiah el fahkak ke mwet Israel mu: “Pisen mwet Israel finne arulana pukanten oana puk weacn uh, tusruktu mwet pu na selos ac fah moulla;
28for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
28tuh Leum El fah sa in wotela nununku lal ke faclu nufon.”
29As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
29Ac oana ke Isaiah el tuh fahk meet, “Leum God Kulana El funu tia filiya kutu sin mwet ke fwilin tulik natusr in moul na, kut lukun kunausyukla oana acn Sodom, ku oana acn Gomorrah.”
30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
30Na mea kut fah fahk? Mwet sayen mwet Jew, su tia srike elos in suwohs yurin God, aksuwosyeyuk elos ke sripen lulalfongi lalos;
31but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
31a mwet sulosolla lun God, su tuh suk sie ma sap in aksuwosyalos yurin God, elos tiana konauk.
32Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
32Ac efu ku ouinge? Mweyen elos nunku mu elos ac moulla ke sripen orekma lalos, ac tia ke sripen lulalfongi. Ke ma inge elos ikori fin “eot in tukulkul”
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.”
33su Ma Simusla kaskaskin: “Liye, Nga likiya in Zion sie eot Su fah oru mwet in tukulkul, Sie eot su fah oru elos ikori. Tusruktu elos su lulalfongi in el fah tiana toasrla.”
