1 I am telling the truth because I belong to Christ. The Holy Spirit tells my heart that I am not lying.

Runtaan ku sheegayaa Masiixa, oo been sheegi maayo, qalbigayguna marag buu iigu furayaa Ruuxa Quduuskaa

2 I have much sorrow. The pain in my heart never leaves.

in caloolxumo weyn iyo xanuun aan joogsanaynin ay ku jiraan qalbigayga.

3 I could even wish that I might be kept from being with Christ if that would help my people to be saved from the punishment of sin. They are of my own flesh and blood.

Waayo, waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan aniga qudhaydu ka inkaarnaado Masiixa walaalahay aawadood oo ah xigaalkayga aannu isku jidhka nahay,

4 T hey are Jews and are the people God chose for Himself. He shared His shining-greatness with them and gave them His Law and a way to worship. They have His promises.

kuwa ah reer binu Israa'iil, oo leh carruur-ka-dhigidda, iyo ammaanta, iyo axdiyada, iyo sharciga siintiisa, iyo u-adeegidda Ilaah, iyo ballamada,

5 T he early preachers came from this family. Christ Himself was born of flesh from this family and He is over all things. May God be honored and thanked forever. Let it be so.

kuwa awowayaasha leh, oo xagga jidhka Masiixu ka yimid iyaga, kan wax walba ka sarreeya oo ah Ilaah ammaanta leh weligiis. Aamiin. Ilaah Ballamadiisii Ma Uu Beenayn

6 I am not saying that God did not keep His promises. Not all the Jews are people God chose for Himself.

Laakiin mana aha sidii iyadoo ereygii Ilaah dhacay. Waayo, kuwa Israa'iil ka dhashay kulligood reer binu Israa'iil ma wada aha.

7 N ot all of Abraham’s family are children of God. God told Abraham, “Only the family of Isaac will be called your family.”

Farcankii Ibraahim oo ay yihiin aawadeed kulligood carruur kuma wada aha, laakiin waxaa la yidhi, Kuwa Isxaaq ka farcama ayaa farcankaaga loogu yeedhi doonaa.

8 T his means that children born to Abraham are not all children of God. Only those that are born because of God’s promise to Abraham are His children.

Taas waxaa weeyaan, inaan carruurta jidhku ahayn carruurta Ilaah, laakiin carruurtii loo ballanqaaday ayaa farcan lagu tiriyaa.

9 T his was the promise God made: “About this time next year I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”

Waayo, kanu waa hadal ballan ah, Wakhtigan oo kale ayaan kuu iman doonaa, oo Saarah waxay dhali doontaa wiil.

10 N ot only this, but there was Rebecca also. Rebecca gave birth to two sons at the same time. Both of them were sons of Isaac.

Oo taas oo keliyana ma ahee, laakiin Rebeqahna mid bay u uuraysatay, kaas oo ahaa aabbeheen Isxaaq.

11 E ven before the two sons were born, we see God’s plan of choosing. God could choose whom He wanted. It could not be changed because of anything the older son tried to do about it. It was before either one had done anything good or bad.

Waayo, carruurta oo aan weli dhalan oo aan weli samayn wanaag iyo xumaan midna, in qasdiga Ilaah doorashada ku istaago, oo uusan ahaan xagga shuqullada, laakiin xagga kii dadka u yeedha,

12 R ebecca was told, “The older son will work for the younger son.”

waxaa iyada lagu yidhi, Kan weynu wuxuu u adeegi doonaa kan ka yar.

13 T he Holy Writings say, “I loved Jacob, but hated Esau.”

Sida qoran, Yacquub waan jeclaaday, Ceesawse waan necbaaday. Ilaah Xaqdarro Ma Leh

14 W hat about it then? Can we say that God is not fair? No, not at all!

Maxaan nidhaahnaa haddaba? Ma xaqdarro baa Ilaah la jirta? Ma suurtowdo!

15 G od said to Moses, “I will have loving-kindness and loving-pity for anyone I want to.”

Waayo, wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Waan u naxariisan doonaa kii aan u naxariisto, waanan u nixi doonaa, kii aan u naxo.

16 T hese good things from God are not given to someone because he wants them or works to get them. They are given because of His loving-kindness.

Sidaas daraaddeed xagga kan doonaya ma aha, xagga kan ordana ma aha, laakiinse waa xagga Ilaaha naxariista leh.

17 T he Holy Writings say to Pharaoh, “I made you leader for this reason: I used you to show My power. I used you to make My name known over all the world.”

Waayo, Qorniinku wuxuu Fircoon ku leeyahay, Tan daraaddeed baan kuu sara kiciyey inaan xooggayga adiga kaa dhex muujiyo iyo in magacayga dhulka oo dhan lagu faafiyo.

18 S o God has loving-kindness for those He wants to. He makes some have hard hearts if He wants to.

Haddaba kuu doonayo wuu u naxariistaa, kuu doonayona qalbigiisuu engejiyaa. Ilaah Baa Xukunka Leh

19 B ut you will ask me, “Why does God blame men for what they do? Who can go against what God wants?”

Waxaad igu odhan doontaa, Muxuu weli ii eedaynayaa? Waayo, yaa doonistiisa ka gees noqda?

20 W ho are you to talk back to God? A pot being made from clay does not talk to the man making it and say, “Why did you make me like this?”

Laakiinse, nin yahow, kumaad tahay kaaga Ilaah u jawaabayow? Wixii la sameeyey miyey kii sameeyey ku odhan doonaan, Maaxad sidan noogu samaysay?

21 T he man making the pots has the right to use the clay as he wants to. He can make two pots from the same piece of clay. One can have an important use. The other one can be of little use.

Dheriyasameeyuhu miyuusan lahayn amar uu ugu taliyo dhoobada inuu fud keliya in ka sameeyo weel cisa leh, inta kalena mid aan cisa lahayn?

22 I t may be that God wants to show His power and His anger against sin. He waits a long time on some men who are ready to be destroyed.

Bal maxay la tahay Ilaah haddii, isagoo doonaya inuu cadhadiisa muujiyo oo xooggiisa dadka ogeysiiyo, uu samir badan ugu dulqaatay weelasha cadhada oo loo diyaariyey baabbi'idda,

23 G od also wanted to show His shining-greatness to those He has given His loving-kindness. He made them ready for His shining-greatness from the beginning.

iyo inuu hodantinimadii ammaantiisa ogeysiiyo weelasha naxariista oo uu hore ugu diyaariyey ammaanta,

24 W e are the ones He chose. He did not only choose Jews. He also chose some from among the people who are not Jews.

xataa kuweenna uu u yeedhay oo uusan uga yeedhin Yuhuudda oo keliya laakiinse uu uga yeedhay quruumaha kalena?

25 I n the Book of Hosea He says, “Those who are not My people, I will call, ‘My people.’ Those who are not loved, I will call, ‘My loved ones.’”

Siduu Hooseeca ka dhex yidhi, Kuwo aan dadkaygii ahayn ayaan u bixin doonaa, Dadkayga, Tu aan ahayn gacalisadaydiina waxaan u bixin doonaa, Gacaliso.

26 “ And where it said, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called sons of the living God.”

Oo waxay noqon doontaa, meeshii laga yidhi iyaga, Dadkayga ma ihidin, Meeshaas waxaa looga bixin doonaa, Carruurtii Ilaaha nool.

27 I saiah says this about the Jews, “Even if there are as many Jews as the sand by the sea, only a few of them will be saved from the punishment of sin.

Oo Isayos wuxuu ku qayliyey wax Israa'iil ku saabsan isagoo leh, In kastoo tirada reer binu Israa'iil noqoto sida cammuudda badda, intii hadhay waa badbaadi doontaa,

28 F or the Lord will do on earth what He says in His Word. He will work fast when He says what will happen here.”

waayo, Rabbigu hadalkiisa dhulkuu ku samayn doonaa, isagoo dhammaystiraya oo soo gaabinaya,

29 I saiah said also, “If God had not left some of the Jews, we would have all been destroyed like the people who lived in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.”

oo sidii Isayos hore u yidhi, Haddaan Rabbigii Saba'ood farcan inoo reebin, Sidii Sodom baan noqon lahayn, oo sidii Gomora baa laynaga dhigi lahaa. Waxa Reer Binu Israa'iil U Xumaadeen

30 W hat are we to say about these things? The people who are not Jews were not made right with God by the Law. They were made right with God because they put their trust in Him.

Maxaan nidhaahnaa haddaba? Dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn oo aan xaqnimada raacin, waxay heleen xaqnimada, oo ah xaqnimada rumaysad lagu helo;

31 T he Jews tried to be right with God by obeying the Law, but they did not become right with God.

laakiin reer binu Israa'iil iyagoo raaca sharciga xaqnimada, sharcigaas ma ay gaadhin.

32 W hy? Because they did not put their trust in God. They tried to be right with God by working for it. They tripped over the most important Stone (Christ).

Tan sababteedu waa maxay? Maxaa yeelay, rumaysad kuma ay doondoonin, shuqullada samayntooda mooyaane. Waxay ku turunturoodeen dhagaxii turunturada;

33 T he Holy Writings say, “See! I put in Jerusalem a Stone that people will trip over. It is a Rock that will make them fall. But the person who puts his trust in the Rock (Christ) will not be put to shame.”

sida qoran, Bal eega, waxaan Siyoon dhex dhigayaa dhagax lagu turunturoodo oo ah sallax lagu xumaado; Oo kii rumaysta isaga ma ceeboobi doono.
