eng: “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

amn: Afa mas aman Godum mang faig mo eso namo ehe piske mungo fai.


eng: “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”

amn: Afa God ginof enaig esog; Mas aman Godna onigigim anwanafi. Afa mas aman Godum anwana faig mo.


eng: Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

amn: Oi, Godna lahlag gawig eba hugna lahlag nemug feg! Afa heafna lahlag anwanag i afa lahlag onigig i eba mungwanam fiageg! Afa el mas ehena meaganai onigigim yisiginagig eso ehe mas enam anwanafi God so nihe eseageg.


eng: For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

amn: Afa mungwali el mo flafugbi eso ehengel ofenaiba kalabus el fig. Afa God enam esegim eso eba ehe mungwali enaig elim afafeg wagfunug.


eng: even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

amn: Afa God nem enaig esinigbi eso yawo Ju elim gaba gwenaig pugunig. Afa Ju el Godna mo flafuni eso ma God ehengelim afafeni.


eng: For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

amn: Afa amanim God ati awamonagim afa heafna kigmog faig eso enaba God mas onigig wahigefe.


eng: Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

amn: Afa Ju el Godna lahlag mom kusigim eso ehengel Godum angoluwag finig. Afa ehengel enaig esigbi eso nem afwambanai elim kwaganig. Afa ming ehengam eba God ati ehengelim kanog hwatina afa ehengelni simpim mo ati sihi wahiana eso Ju el eba heafna hihe fif.


eng: This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

amn: Afa God ehe enaig esog ka ehengel nai yi ohuna mo kike sihi wahianig eso ka ehengelni amtakwalig nihem hugufatinif.


eng: and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

amn: eso God mungwali Israel wa nai elim piske wambugum eba Godna ginof enaig esog og; Afa enag kwegfwag el Saion kimbig wa nai bonam, afa ehe Jekopna simbianigagna amtakwalig nihem hugufatinif.


eng: For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

amn: Kana nilite masa ne nimbeafgelni onigigim fingi fif eso ka membeg ne ena mo so autunam meagam sahu gofena so na enam anwanafi. Afa enag mo enaig esog Israel el nai yi mas olug kifutig higeg gohunif. Afa afwambanai el ambugog saho ehengelim pahsihianam mahim yuhwafeiba


eng: For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

amn: Afa ne afwambanai el ne ofenaiba sangwali nai oliv li kigag God nem aso nai oliv li yi tutufe hwatig enaba mang isug puguia mo eba asona awag ehe eseg. Afa Ju el ofenaiba aso nai oliv li kigag fig afa ateamba Ju el olug onigigbi eso eba God hugna sifakalegim ehengelim piske wambu tutufegba eso ehengel enag aso nai oliv li yi piske numwehe tutufif.


eng: See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

amn: Afa so na enam onigim, Godba enaig feg afafeg olug feg afa kifutig kwefihiageg el feg. Afa amangel so amtakwalig wa apaiyeg eba ehengelim kifutigni kwefihianugef afa nem eba afafenif. Ateaba ne heafna ismunagim kwaganig gwese kehla gohugba eba ne lahlag gofuf. Afa ne enam masig fatinagba eba God nem gaba tutohia aitig.


eng: for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

amn: Afa God Ju elim enaig esinig ofenaiba aso nai oliv li kigagim tutohia aitig. Afa ateamba ehe aso nai li enaig esenigbi afa so ahanaig sangwali nai oliv liba esenif? Eba ehe gwenaig esenif.


eng: True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

amn: Afa enaba inim. Afa eba ehengel mas olug onigig mo eso God enaig esenig. Afa ne olug onigigbi eso God ati nem tutufe hwatigba eso ne gwese agfohie. Eso nofeka tutonbusiagi afa so na embefi masa God nem gaba enaig esenif.


eng: You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”

amn: Afa ne enaig esoi me, “Afa God ehengelim tutog aitigba eso kagel ehengelni sigag wa agfohieg.”


eng: don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

amn: Afa enag aso nai li kigagim God so tutohia hwatigba nofeka enam pigi wambwaigo. Afa nofeka tutonbusiagi. Afa ne mas li mogim kweagfui eba ena li mog nem kwegfug.


eng: But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,

amn: Afa Israel el ofenaiba aso nai oliv li fig afa afwambanai el ofenaiba sangwali nai oliv li. Afa so God aso nai oliv li kigag tutogum eso sangwali nai oliv li kigag wambukugum enana sigag wa tutufe hwatiba eso ehengel ehena lahlag bug fig.


eng: If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.

amn: Afa el kwafana amba kufa Godum faibi eso mungwali amba gaba eba Godna feg. Afa el li bigag Godum faigbi eso li kigag gaba eba Godna feg.


eng: For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

amn: Afa mahim God Ju elim hwatigba eba so bite nai el God i piske lahlafeag ahfeg. Afa mahim God Ju elim piske wambuiba eba ofenai melig pigieg el piske nofkenagag fig.


eng: if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

amn: Eba ka membeg kiafna mungo musunai enag gafugagim nangunim eso ambobug fegonig. Afa enaig minaba ehengel so ma piske Godum yisgibi eso God mingnagim wambu.


eng: For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,

amn: Afa ne afwambanai el so hig. Ne anwanafig kaba kanog wahiag el eso God kam afwambanai el nagum ningihiag. Afa ka onigig enag gafugag eba goseg eso ka enam sifakalenag esegim.


eng: Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

amn: Afa Ju el enag amtakwalig esig afa enag mahim esegba eso Godna lahlag gawig mungwali bite nai elim pugunug. Afa Ju el tigefu apaiyeg afa enag mahim esegba eso afwambanai el Godna lahlag gawigim fig. Afa mahim Ju el God nagum piske ahugba big anwanafig Godna lahlag gawig eba mungwanam kukag.


eng: I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

amn: Afa ka nem piske enaig sahini fenig ateaho Ju elbi musiapugug fiahgigim eso ati apaiyeg? Amo, eba awai. Afa Ju el Kraisna mom masig hwatinibi eso God afwambanai elim wambugo. Afa God enaig esegba eso Ju el enaig esogog ahnaig esegba hiau figba kam mo awaienig.


eng: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”

amn: Eso ma ehengelni nofug kigeskofegba eso ehengel mas nangui afa kinigni higeg kahligim fifsafeagiaska.


eng: David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.

amn: Afa Devit enaig elni mo enaig sihifeg og; Afa ehengel enaig onigi fig ka lahlag el fig. Sa ma ehengelni buyis enaig puguf tata mime lofug afa auwula lofug eso ehengel enanai yi apaigo afa mungwag tautig fif.


eng: According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”

amn: Afa Godna ginof enaig esog; Afa God ehengelim esenigbi eso ehengelni onigig kinieskofegba eso yawoga ehengelni nofug mas nangui afa angug mas higi.


eng: And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

amn: Sa hig, mang God ehengelni gafugagim onigin mo eso ehe ehengelim kanog hwatig, amo eba ehe ogna ismunagim kwaganim eso eseg. Afa so ehengelni gafugag hefum kwaganigteba eso Godna ismunagim kwaganig eba isug feg.


eng: Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

amn: Afa yawa gaba gwenaig feg God mungo mungo elim isug kwaganigim afa kanog hwatig eso ehengel heafna el fig.


eng: But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

amn: Afa God ehem ahanaig esona? Ehe enaig og, “Ne mas nem hwai mo fe mo, ka ati feg 7,000 el mas mwakwal God Balim mongkokni kwakwagini mo.”


eng: “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”

amn: “Ainiyag, ehengel neana mo fi sihiaule elim kwaskofinig afa neana sis tuhlug faig sime bamboitifig. Eso ka mungo goba so ehengel kam ogna tigifati.”


eng: God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

amn: Afa autunam God enaig esona ehengel kana el fig afa ehe mas masig fatinig mo. So na piske onigim Godna ginof mo enaig eseg Elaija Israel elim sehtiginam eso Godum enaig sihifena og,


eng: I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

amn: Eso ka nem enaig esahfenig, ateame God heafna Ju elim masig fatig me? Amo, eba awai. Afa kagaba Ju el, Abrahamna simbianiga feg, afa Benjaminna ehengenai feg.


eng: But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

amn: Afa God Israel wa nai elim onigig eso enaig esog; Afa mo filafigim afa tutonbusug el fig eso ka mungwali osuna ka numweheagegim go ehengelim kwaganigim.


eng: Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”

amn: Afa sumi yi Aisaia Godna mom kifutigni enaig esona; Afa el kam mas yisigi mo eso ehengel ati kam nangug. Afa el so kam nanguigim mas sahig mo eso ka ehengelim ambagwa pugunig.


eng: But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”

amn: Afa ka piske sahig ateaho Israel wa nai elbi anwanafig? Ei ati anwanafig. Afa yuwana God Mosesim enaig sihifena; Ka sangwal minaim wambinam lahlafiahgeba eso nengel ehengelim ambobug fegonif. Afa ka anwana hwainig el nai yi esenibi eso nengel olug kakage gonif.


eng: But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

amn: Afa ka enaig sahna ateame ehengel ena mo higi hwainig? Amo, eba ati higig afa Godna buk wa esog; Afa mo sihiag elni mengig mungwali bite gam ikaminefeg afa ehengelni mo ikag bite meyigim wa puguia minefeg.


eng: So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

amn: Afa olug onigig eba ena mo higig wa nai pugug. Afa mahim Kraisna mo sihibi eso ma enag mo higi.


eng: But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”

amn: Afa mingnag el eba ena lahlag mom kusini. Afa Aisaia ehe enaig esog, “Ainiyag, el mas kagelni mo fagonug mo.”


eng: And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”

amn: Afa Godna mo sihiaule elim ningitigig hwanigba eba so moba ahanaig ika minefef? Afa Godna buk wa enaig esog, “Afa enanam el so Godna lahlag mo obuna eba lahlag nemug.”


eng: How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

amn: Afa ehengel Ainiyagim olug onigig hwanigba eso ehengelim kwaganig ahanaig uni ehem fini fi? Afa ehengel mo higig hwanigba ahnaig ese so ehem olug onigini fi? Afa el mas ena mo sihia hwanigba ahnaig ese so ena moba higi fi?


eng: For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

amn: Afa aman el Godum Ainiyagna unehlag wa unenaf eso ehem fafe.


eng: For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.

amn: Afa olugni so big Godum olug onigig eso big Godna nof wa afsug bi fig. Afa mengigna so big enag onigigim sihigbi eso God bigim wambug.


eng: But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:

amn: Afa autunai ginof enaig esog, “Godna mo eba nem muhwa fenagim eso neana mengig wa gohug afa olug yi gohug.” Afa kagel ena mo sihigonig giahuba eso ne olug onigigim Godna nof wa afsug fi.


eng: But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);

amn: Eba el membig olug onigig so ma kam esinibi ka so Godna nof wa afsug finim afa heafgelni onigig eba autunai ginofi mungwalof ahfeg ena mo og, “Nofeka nimbefum enaig eso aman so heven gam fukokanam (eso Kraisimba wanipe buf)?


eng: For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”

amn: Afa Moses enaig ginof feg el membig nihe mo so ma kam esenibi ka so Godna nof wa afsug finim eso higeg mungwali nihe mo pahlukufi.


eng: For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

amn: Afa Krais nihe mona gafugagim tigefakag eso aman ehem olug oniginig ehengel Godna nof wa afsug fig.


eng: For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

amn: Afa ehengel mas anwanafig ahanaig mina God elim esegba eso heafna nof wa afsug feg. Afa ehengel mas Godna lahlag mina pahluhug mo eba ehengel membig afsug figim heafgelni minam pahluhug.


eng: For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

amn: Afa ka ehengelim ati anwanafenigim na so ka esog ehengel hugna membig Godna gafugagim esigimba afa ehengel ena minam mas numwehe anwanafig mo.


eng: Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.

amn: Kana nilite, ka Ju elim hugna oniginigim eso ka Godum enaig sahnafeg so ma ehengelim piske wambu.


eng: even 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.”

amn: Afa Godna ginof enam enaig esog; Sa nangu, ka Saion kimbig wa hun faka wahiag eso enag elim moelig fetife gofufiba eso ehengel apaigo fif. Afa amangel ehem olug oniginibi eba mas ahwanifi.


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

amn: Ahnaig esegba eso enaig esini? Enaba enaig eseg Israel el mas olug onigini mo afa ehengelni onigig enaig eseg kawo kifutig gafugafinim eso ka afsug el fi. Afa mahim el enaig sihififni og Sisas mungo elim piske wambug eso ehengel enam moanagig afa enag ofenaiba hun ehengelim moelig fetifeg.


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

amn: Afa Israel el enaig onigig fini og ka so Godna nof wa afsug el agfo eso ehengel hugna kifutigni nihe mo pahlukuiagim eba mas enaig el fini mo.


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

amn: Ahnaig so big esogof? Afa afwambanai el mas enaig onigig fi so ka Godna nof wa afsug el agfo. Eba ehengel olug onigigbi eso God ehengelim esenigbi eso ehengel Godna nof wa afsug fif.


eng: As 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.”

amn: Afa ming mo autunam Aisaia so sihina eba gwenaig feg afa ehe og; Afa ateamba hugna kifutig Ainiyag bigelni mingnag simbianigam hwati hwanigba eba mas big agfoheite. Afa ehe hwatieg hwanigba eba ehe bigim mungwali amtakwale aitif eso mungwalofug Sodom mi afa Gomora kimbig mi so eseni.


eng: for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”

amn: Eso Ainiyag ikagna bitenai mungwali elim hugna kwefihiagefe.


eng: Isaiah 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;

amn: Afa Aisaia Israel elim oniginim afa enaig esog; Ateaba Israel wa nai el enaig pugu ofefiba ofenaiba bu wa nai angig so mas big suwigi eba mingnagim mungo Godba wambf.


eng: “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.’”

amn: Afa ahnanai yi so ka esona ne mas kana el fig mo, afa gwenanai yi ka nengelim esonif ne God nofkikenagna luwal fig.


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

amn: Afa Godna mo fa sihiaule el Hoseana buk wa God gwenaig esog og; Afa el kana fig hwanigba, eba ka ehengelim esonif kana el fig. Afa ahanaig el so goka so ka mas membenig mo ka ehengelim enaig esonif eba kikeafna nemug fig.


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

amn: Afa ehe enaig eseg eso ehe ogna heafna lahlag gawigim wagfun eba lahlag nemug feg afa elim so ehe afafenig afa enag elim ati numwehenuge wahiag heafna lahlag gawig wa saho agfohiegim.


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

amn: Afa mang God eseg eba gwenaig. Afa ehe ogna tutonbusug elim olug kakagim eso heafna kigmog wagfun. Afa enag elim ehe so olug kakagenigim afa ehe ehengelim ati numwehenuge wahiag amtakwale aitiag figim eso God ogma enag elim olug wahigifenam eso ehe mahimsi eso mas ikagna eseg mo.


eng: Or 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?

amn: Afa el sob efugum so ma heafna membugum pahlukui. Afa ehe mungo liginai sambaga sob efugigim eso ming eba lahlag gafugagna maunum afa mingba nahasna maunum.


eng: But 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?”

amn: Ne mangig el mahim? Ne ateaho enaig eseg eso ne Godum piske esonag? Afa el sob efigba eso mas enag sob elim esonag og, “Ahnaig esegba ne kam ohonai efeg?”


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

amn: Afa ka enaig onigig feg ne kam ogna enaig sahna fena, “Afa ateamba enag inim fegba ahnaig esegba God elim esog ne amtakwalig nihena feg? Afa aman mas Godna sawiegim fingi fati?”


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

amn: Eso eba enaig eseg amanim God ogna afafena eba ehem afafenag afa God amanim ogna angug nihlinage eba ehe esenaf.


eng: For 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.”

amn: Afa Godna mo enaig goheg God autunam Isip nai misog elim enaig esona, “Afa ka nem misog el wahiagba eso mungwali el kana kigmogim nangui afa so mungwali bite nai el kana unehlagim anwanafi.”


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

amn: Eso enaig mas elni onigig mi afa gafugag mi pahlukui. Afa Godna kwefihiage wahiag eba heafna afafegim pahlukug.


eng: For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

amn: Eso ehe Mosesim enaig esog; Afa amanim so koka afafena eba ka ehem afafenaf afa amanim koka lahlafena eba ka ehem lahlafenag.


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

amn: Ahnaig so big esogof? Ateaho God mas lahlag kwefihiag el feg mo? Amo, eba awai.


eng: it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”

God ati kwefihiage wahiana eso ehe ogna mungom kanog wahia eso ehe Rebekam esona, “Eba eteg suminigim ahnai skaugfenafe.” Afa ehe enaig esog eso heafna sawieg kifutig gofi afa ehe elni gafugagim mas oniginam enaig ese amo, ehe heafna onigigim mungo pahlukuna.


eng: Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.

amn: Afa mang ena mungo mo Rebekana sambaga luwal ahgof eba mungo Awagna feg eso eba bigelni simbianga Aisak.


eng: For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”

amn: Afa Godna mo sihi wahiag eba enaig esog God og, “Ming yia ka piske boiba afa Sara luwal ati wanigaf.”


eng: That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.

amn: Eso enaig moba wagfug Abrahamna mungwali simbiangag mas Godna luwalig fig mo eba amangel el Godna mo sihi wahiagna luwalig fig eba naho Abrahamna inim simbiangag fig.


eng: Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”

amn: Afa mungwali Abrahamna simbiangag mas Godna luwalig fig mo. Amo, God enaig Abrahamim esona og, “Nana inim simbiangag Aisak nai yi puguiagef.”


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

amn: Afa ka mas enaig esoi Godna mo sihi wahiag tigefu peg. Amo, eba mungwali Israel wa nai el mas enanai saho Godna el agfohie mo.


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

amn: Kaba Kraisna el eso kana mo inim feg afa ka mas mwakwale afa Godna Sungwag gaba kana onigigim sihinag ka mas mwakwale.

amn: Afa ka ati anwanafeg mas mang Godna membugim bigim kaguni. Afa wahag me afa nofkenagag me afa ofwanai el afa nimbasa afa aisil afa mang yawonai afa mang sumi nai,


eng: nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

amn: afa mang sisyi gohug afa mang bite wa skaug gohug afa mungwali mang God eseagegba eso big Ainiyag Sisas Krais i ahogo, eso enag mungwali gawig Godna membugim bigim mas kaguni. Afa Kraisna gafugag bigim enag membug wagfunig.

eng: He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

amn: Afa God mas heafna Legim hugna kikehlana mo amo eba ehe bigim ningihianigba eso mungwali elim wahanig. Eso ehe bigim mungwali gawigim gaba isug faif.

amn: Afa big anwanafig mungwali mang pugufeg God enam eseageg eso el ehem membenig ma so ehengelim lahlafeni. God ehengelim awamonug eso ehe heafna sawiegim pahluhug.


eng: For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

amn: Afa mahim God bigim piske wambugba afa big onigigim afa nengeafu eso ehe enag gafugag lahlag nemug fiagef. Afa mahim big mang so enaig figbi afa big mas piske enam nengeahufi. Afa el so fag ehe mas enam nengeahufi.


eng: But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

amn: Afa big ati anwanafig mang big mas fig mo eso big enam nengigim nisanago.


eng: For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

amn: Afa big anwanafig mungwali bite nai gawig so eyugog ofenaiba angwafig luwalim fukwagim onigis ikag yawoga gwesego.


eng: that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

amn: autunai wa bite nai gawig nogiag nihe mi afa hugna amtakwale goka mi pigihwatigba eso eba hugna lahlag agfohef ofenaiba Godna luwalig.


eng: For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

amn: Afa autunam Adam amtakwalig nihe esenaba eso God mungwali bite nai gawigim enaig esonig sohnaig gafugagba isug eseagfo. Afa bite nai gawig mas enaig esih mo eba Godna sawieg enaig so puguf. Eso God kiafgigego,


eng: For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

amn: Afa mang mungwali God so eseageg eba enag kiafgigiafo mahim God heafna luwaligim ambagwa opugunibi.


eng: For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

amn: Afa ka enaig onigig feg eba big anwanafig mang lahlag nemug God so bigim esenif. Afa mahim ka enag lahlagim onigigba eso tautig bigim yawo gohunig eba kana onigig wa wesig feg.


eng: and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

eng: For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

amn: Afa mang ne enaig Sungwag fig mo eso nem piske esenigbi eso ne isug gafugag el fig afa ne embefig. Amo, ne enag Sungwag figbi eso nem esenigbi so na luwalig fig eso big Godum esonig, “Humuan ne kana Awag.”


eng: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

amn: Afa aman el Godna Sungwag ahnai skaugfeg eba Godna luwalig fiahsaieg.


eng: If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

amn: Afa amtakwalig nihe goba eso nengelni eligim pigiego. Afa Krais ne nai yi go eso God enaig esog neba afsug el fig eso nengelni sungwag nofkenag agfohie.


eng: because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

amn: Eba autunai eligni sawieg Godim angoluwag fenag. Afa enag mas Godna nihe mom ahnai skaufeg mo. Afa eba nufunam enag sawieg mas ihlafe ena mom patalkuiagim.


eng: Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.

eng: For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

eng: For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

amn: Afa amangel so eligni sawiegim pahluhug eba heafgelni sawieg onigigim gwese luwa. Afa amangel Godna Sungwagim pahluhug eba Sungwagni sawieg onigigim gwese luwa.


eng: that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

amn: Afa God enaig esena eso big eligni sawiegim wahinim afa Godna Sungwagim pahluku. Afa lahlag nihem eso nihe mo esog so na enam esi so ma enag big nai yi inim pugui.


eng: For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

amn: Afa elni onigig mas kifutig feg mo eso Mosesna nihe mo mas yuhwafeg mo amtakwalig nihem fingi fatiagim. Eso God heafna Legim ningihiana.

eng: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

amn: Eba Godna Sungwagni nihe mo bigim esenigbi eso big Krais Sisas nai yi gaba agfohiegim so big ini nofkenagag fig eso ka mas amtakwalig nihe mi afa wahag mi ahnai skaug fenag mo.


eng: There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

amn: Eso yawaba mungwali el Krais Sisas nai yi agfohie eba God ehengelim mas kufeni.


eng: I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.

amn: Afa ka Godum lahlag onag eso bigelni Ainiyag Sisas Krais nai yi ehe enaig eseg. Eso ka enaig goheg. Kana onigig Godna nihe mom ahnai skaufeigba afa ka pahlukug. Afa kana elig amtakwalig nihem ahnai skaufegim afa enam pahlukug.


eng: What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

amn: O kasambam, enag eligni sawieg ogna kam tigefati. Afa aman so enam pigifatif.


eng: but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

amn: Afa ka anwanafeg ming amtakwalig onigig kana elig nai yi go. Afa enag elig yi nai onigig i afa olug yi nai onigig i bigagahfego. Afa amtakwalig onigig kana elig yi gafugafego eso enag kam hugna kikegu.


eng: For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,

amn: Afa kana olug onigig Godna nihe mom sifakalenag.


eng: I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

amn: Eso ka anwanafeg enaig onigig eba inim feg. Afa mahim koka lahlag nihe ese afa so amtakwalig nihe muhwa go enag kam hugufakug.

amn: Afa nihem so ka kusig eso enam ka eseg afa enaba wagfug eba kike enaig ese mo eba amtakwalig nihe ka nai yi go enag ehe eseg.


eng: For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.

amn: Afa lahlag nihe koka ese ka mas eseg mo. Afa amtakwalig nihe ka kusig enaba ka eseg.


eng: So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

amn: Eso kike enaig ese mo eba amtakwalig nihe ka nai yi go enag ehe eseg.


eng: But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

amn: Afa mang so ka kusig eso ka eseg enaba wagfug ka enaig esog nihe mo eba lahlag feg.


eng: For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

amn: Afa ka mas enam anwanafeg mo eso ka eseg. Afa mang koka ese eba mas ka enam esei. Afa nihe so ka kusig eba enam ka eseg.


eng: For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

amn: Ati big anwanafig Godna nihe mo eba Godna Sungwag yi nai bog. Eba ka bite nai el eso ka amtakwalig nihem ahnai skaufenag.


eng: Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.

amn: Ahnaig esegba, ateaho enag lahlag nihe mo kam tigifatig. Amo, eba awai. Afa amtakwalig nihe enag lahlag nihe mo fagim eso enaig eseg. Afa enaba amtakwalig nihem ambagwa wagfug. Afa nihe mo amtakwalig nihem esenagba eso enag hugna amtakwalageg.


eng: Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.

amn: Eso nihe mo eba afsug kabag feg afa ehena mo eba afsug kabag feg afa sufug feg afa lahlag feg.


eng: for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

amn: Afa ka ambagwa ati anwanafeg Mosesna nihe mo enaig esog nofeka enaig ese afa amtakwalig nihe ena fagim eso enana kam mwakwalenag. Afa enag mina gam amtakwalig nihe kam tigefatig.


eng: The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;

amn: Afa mahim amtakwalig nihe gohugba eso kam wahag. Afa nihe mo membenag nofkenagag faig afa enag nihe mo kam esenagba eso kam wahag pugug.


eng: I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

amn: Afa autunam ka mas nihe mom anwanafena mo eso ka og, kaba lahlag nofkenagag el feg. Afa mahim nihe mo pugugba eso amtakwalig nihe kifutigni feg.


eng: But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

amn: Afa ka enag nihe mo onigigim afa ena mina gam amtakwalig nihe kam ahanaig ahanaig onigigim fingi fenagba eso ka elni gawigim membenig. Afa nihe mo hwanigba amtakwalig nihe eba kifutig hwainig.


eng: What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

amn: Ateaho so big enaig esogoi nihe mo eba amtakwalig nihe me? Amo, big mas enaig esogoi. Afa nihe mo kam wagfunag amtakwalig nihe eba mang mahim. Afa nihe mo esog hwanigba nofeka mingnag elni mang gawigim membenim eseagi. Afa eba mas ka enam ambagwa anwanafi enaba eba amtakwalig nihe feg.


eng: But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

amn: Afa mang so bigim kike wambugu yawo ehe mas bigim enaig esenig mo. Afa big wahag eso mas nihe mo ahnai skaugfeg mo. Eso big mas nihe mom Moses ginofegim pahluhug mo eso Godna gafugag esigim. Eba autunai mina afa yawonai minaba big figim eso Godna Sungwagim pahluhug.


eng: For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.

amn: Afa mahim big eligni amtakwalig sawiegim ahnai skaufeiba afa nihe mo bigelni elig nai yi amtakwalig nihem fukwakukug eso bigelni gafugag eba wahagim opugug.


eng: Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

amn: O nilite, neba gwenaig fig. Afa neagaba Krais i ahfegim ahwahagim eso ne mas nihe mo ahnai skaufenig mo. Afa God Sisasim bitekfe nai ilafu waskwes eso ne ehena feg eso big Godna lahlag gafugagim esigbi eso fug luwug.


eng: For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

amn: Afa amtakwalig nihe eba mungwag bigim wahag faig. Afa Godna ismunagim bigim kwaganig eba higeg nofkenagag feg. Enaba bigelni Ainiyag Sisas Krais nai yi go.


eng: But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.

amn: Afa yawo God nem amtakwalig nihe nai pigi hwatigba eso ne Godna isug gafugag el fig. Afa enaba ne afsug kabag nofkenagag fig eso ne higeg nofkenagag mina wa agfohie.


eng: What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

amn: Afa autunai nihe eso ne esini eba nem ahwanefug faig afa enaba mas ne mang fini mo. Afa enaig nihe eba wahag mina feg.


eng: For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

amn: Afa mahim ne amtakwalig nihena isug gafugag el agfohiafenaba enanam lahlag nihe mas nem kikehlana mo.


eng: I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

amn: Afa neana anwanag wesig feg eso enaig mo ka bite nai waskwes mo sihig. Eba inim autunam ne nimbeafna eligim nuhwef nihe wa wahianam afa ahanaig ahanaig amtakwalig nihe wa eseakafenaba eso ne ena nai yi isug gafugag el fini. Eso yawa gaba so na gwenaig esi nimbeafna eligim so lahlag nihe wa ahnai skaugfinim eso afsug kabag agfohiefim.


eng: Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

amn: Ka onigig ati ne enam anwanafig, afa mahim ne enaig esog kaba neana isug gafugag el fef eso ne enag elni mom pahlukug.

Afa ateamba ne Godum higinam pahlukug eba ne afsug nofkenagag fafe.


eng: What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

amn: Afa big mas nihe mom ahnaig skaugfini eba God bigim ismunagim kwaganig. Ahnaig big fig? Sa big amtakwalig niheba eseahuf me? Amo, big mas enaig esi.


eng: Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

amn: Afa bigelni elig eba mwakwalig gohug afa ese nengelni elig amtakwalig nihem pahlukuf eso ne eligni amtakwalig sawiegim ne eseg.


eng: Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

amn: Afa nofeka nimbeafna elig mungo wahiaiba so ma ikai amtakwaligim ahnai skaufenai afa amtakwalig nihe esegim. Amo, ne nimbefum so Godum mungwal faiye ofenai wahag el piske nofkenagag fag. Afa so na nimbeafna mungwali elig Godum ahnai skaufenai eso lahlag nihe eseg.


eng: For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

amn: Afa ese amtakwalig nihe nem gosunaf. Eba mas ne Mosesna nihe mo ahnai skaufenai amo eba ne Godna ismunagim kwaganig wa ahnai skaugfenafe.


amn: Afa ese amtakwalig nihe nem gosenafe. Eba mas ne Mosesna nihe mo ahnai skaufenai amo eba ne Godna esmunagim kwaganig la ahnai skaufenafe.


eng: Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

amn: Eso ne gwenaig onigig fi ne ati wahag eso ne mas amtakwalig nihem ahnai skaufenai. Eba Sisas Krais nai yi ne nofkena goba eso ne Godum esena go.


eng: For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

amn: Afa Krais mungonagim wahagim afa enagba mungwali amtakwalig nihem flafatigba eso gwese higeg go. Afa heafna nofkikenagagba ehe Godum esena go.


eng: knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

amn: Afa big anwanafig Krais wahagim piske bihia afa ehe mas piske wahai eso ehe mas wahagna nihem ahnai skaugfeg mo.


eng: But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

amn: Afa big Krais i ahwahagigba afa big enaig olug onigig fig afa eba ati ehe i ahgofuf.


eng: For he who has died has been freed from sin.

amn: Eso aman el so wahag enaig el mas amtakwalig nihena kifutigim ahnai skaugfeg mo.


eng: knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

amn: Afa big enam anwanafig, bigelni autunai sawieg li katigeg wa Krais i ahwahagim. Eso enag autunai sawieg mas kifutig mo eso big mas amtakwalig nihena gafugag el fig mo.


eng: May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

amn: Amo, mas big enaigba esi. Afa ati big Krais i ahlahag asa big mas amtakwalig nihem ahnai skaufini. Asa nofeka afohienam amtakwalig nihem esiafufum.


eng: Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

amn: Ka onigig ati ne enam anwanafig? Bigelni bu wa apaiyeg eba wagfug bigel Sisas Krais nai yi agfohie eso big ehe i ahwahagim.


eng: We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

amn: Afa big bu wa apaigogba enaba enaig esig big Krais i ahwahagigba eso bigim bitekfe wa kumoatigig. Afa Awagna kigmog lahlagna Kraisim wahag wa nai ilafufatigba eso big gaba mulug nofkenagag mina wa agfohie.

eng: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

amn: Ahnaig onigig big fig? Sa big amtakwalig niheba eseahuf eso God bigim ismunagim kwaganig hugna nalig fiagei?


eng: that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

eng: The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,

amn: Afa nihe mo pugugba eso el enanai yi hugna amtakwalig nihe eseagig. Afa ahnanai yi so amtakwalig nihe nalig fego eso Godna ismunagim kwaganig enam hugunam gosenag.


eng: For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

amn: Afa mungo el Godna mo flafunaba eso mungwali el amtakwalig el fig. Afa gwenaig eseg mungo el Godna mo pahlukunaba eso ma mungwali el Godna nof wa afsug el fig.


eng: So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

amn: Eba enaig eseg mungo amtakwalig nihe pugugba eso God mungwali elim sumi yi mungwag faif. Afa gwenaig eseg mungo lahlag nihe pugugba eso God heafna elim enaig esonig ne mas ahanaig esig mo afa ehengel nofkenagag fig.


eng: For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

amn: Eba inim mungo el amtakwalig esegba eso mungwali el wahagna ahnai skaugfini. Afa mungo elni lahlag nihe puguagim enam gwesim gosenag. Afa aman el Godna nalig ismunagim kwegfwag fagim eso Godna nof wa afsug agfohie eso enaig el Krais nai yi heafgelni nofkenagagim numwehe wambfiahu.


eng: The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.

amn: Afa Godna lahlag nihe i afa Adamna amtakwalig nihe i ahfegim eso sambaganingi li fug ahpugugim afa enmunam ahfeg. Afa Adam amtakwalig mungo esegba eso God ehem kwefihianagenam enaig esog mungwali el eba amtakwalig el fig eso sumi yi God ehengelim mungwag faif. Afa enaksag amtakwalig nihe puguiagegba eso mungo el wahanigim ismunagim kwaganig eso God enaig esog nengel mungwali afsug el fig.


eng: For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

amn: Afa mahim nihe mo gig hwainig fiahfenaba afa enanam amtakwalig ohuna bite wa ati gofena. Eba God mas el ni mungo mungo amtakwalig suwigi eba nihe mo awaiena.


eng: Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

amn: Afa Adam nai yi fenam ikan Moses nai yi pugunaba mungwali el wahagna ahnai skaugfini. Afa ehengelni amtakwalig esigbi eba eso Adam esena mas enaig mungwalofug feg mo. Afa Adam eba Sisasna waskwes mo feg eso enag el sum bog.


amn: Afa Adam nai yi fenam ikan Moses nai yi pugunaba mungwali el lahagna ahnai skaufini. Afa ehengelni amtakwalig esigbi eba asa Adam esena mas enaig mungwalofug feg mo. Afa Adam eba Sisasna lasug mo feg asa enag el sum blog.


eng: Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.

amn: Afa mungo elni nihe wa ohuna bite wa amtakwalig puguiageg afa enag amtakwalig nihe eba wahag opugug. Afa mungwali el amtakwalig esigbi eso mungwali el pigiefug.

amn: Eba ena mungo mo amo big Godum sifakalig esenigbi eso bigelni Ainiyag Sisas Krais wahagba eso big God i piske lahlafeag ahfeg.


eng: For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

amn: Afa big Godna angoluwag el finibi eso heafna Legna wahagna big God i piske lahlafeag ahfeg. Afa eba hugna ambagwa feageg eso Kraisna nofkenagag ati wagfug eba God bigim piske wambuf.

amn: Afa ehena wahag enaig esegba eso big Godna nof wa afsug kabag el fig. Afa so big enam numwehe anwanafi afa ehe nai yi God mas bigim olug kakagenam tautig fai.

amn: Eba God wagfug ehe bigim hugna membenig afa mahim big amtakwalig el agfohie fenaba eso Krais bigim wahanig.


eng: For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.

amn: Afa big bitenai el mas enaigba esi afsug elimbi wahani. Eba mungo mungog el so ma enaig onigig fi lahlag elim wahanig me.


eng: For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

eng: Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,

amn: Afa enag moba Godna ginof wa go, “ehe afsug el lofeg” eba mas Abrahamim mungo esona mo.


eng: Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”

amn: Eso God enaig esog, ehe eba olug onigig el feg eso ehe afsug el feg.


eng: and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

amn: Afa ehe ati anwanafeg God hugna kifutig nafeg eso mang ehe sihi wahiag eba ehe inim esef.


eng: Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

amn: Afa ehe Godna mo sihi wahiag fanam afa mas sambaganingi onigig nafena mo. Amo, heafna olug onigig ehem kifutigna afa so ehe Godum fingi fena.


eng: Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

eng: As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

amn: Afa Godna ginof wa God Abrahamim enaig esona, “Ka nem eseg eso ahanaig ahanaig el mungwali bite nai nem sefi kagelni Awag feg.” Afa Godna nof wa Abraham ehe bigelni awag feg. Afa Abraham enaig olug onigig feg God so ma wahag elim ilafui afa mang so mas gohug mo eso ehe mo bihig esog so opukog.


eng: For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

amn: Eso God elni olug onigigim nangugum afa heafna mo sihi wahiag enaig elim faig.

Amo, el aman Abrahamna olug onigig lofufeg ehe enag mo sihi wahiag faif. Eso Abraham ofenaiba bigelni simbianga fenig.


eng: For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

amn: Afa autunam God Abrahamim enaig esona ne nai yi afa neana simbianigag nubiagenam eso mungwali bitem yuhwafiahgef.

Amo, Abraham Godum olug onigig fenaba eso God ena nai yi nangunam esog namba afsug el afa ka nem enag mo sihi wahiag faig.


eng: He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

amn: Afa ehe gaba nihi lofug kokohiageg elni simp fenig. Afa ehengel nihi lofug kufwag afa ming gaba ehengelni olug onigig eba bigelni simp Abrahamna minam pahluhug. Eso enanam Abraham nihi lofug kufwag feg hwainig gafena.


eng: He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

amn: Eso sumi yi ehe nihi lofug mo kwafuna afa enag eba wagfug enanam ehe mas esena mo God ehena olug onigigim mungo nangugum eso og ne afsug el.

eng: How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

amn: Amansi mahim God Abrahamim ena moba sihina? Ateaho ehe nihi lofug kwafuna? Amo, Abraham nihi lofug kufwag hwainig fiahfenaba eso enanam God ehem sihina og ne afsug el.


eng: Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

amn: Afa Ju el nihi lofug so kukohiagig. Atiahog enaig el mungo sonag lahlag auguiagba fi me? Amo, sonag lahlag auguiag afwambanai el gaba fif. Eba big Godna mom ati onigig eba enaig esog, “Abraham Godum olug onigina eso God ehem og ne afsug kabag el feg.”


eng: Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”

eng: “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

amn: Afa amangelni amtakwaligim God so wahianigim afa isinig eba enaig el so ma lahlag auguf.


eng: Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:

amn: Afa Devit gaba gwenaig esog elim God so esonig ne afsug el afa ehe nihe mo esig hwainig eba enaig el so ma lahlag augufei. Afa Devit enaig esona;


eng: But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

amn: Afa aman el so olug onigig nai yi mungo feg afa ehe mas gafugagfeg mo eba ehe ati anwanafeg God amtakwalig elim lahlafenag eso God enaig elni olug onigigim nangunagim eso og ne afsug el.


eng: Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

amn: Afa el so gafugafegim eso kig fag ehe mas enaig og ka isug fag amo eba heafna ehege pusnanam fag.


eng: For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

amn: Afa Godna mo enaig esog; Abraham Godum olug onigina eso God ehem og ne afsug kabag el feg.


eng: For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

amn: Ateaba Abraham lahlag gafugag fegba eso God ehem og ne afsug el feg eba ehe so ma elni nof wa hefum fingi fei. Afa Godna nof wa eso ehe enaig esef.


eng: What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

amn: Ateaba enam inim feba so big biafna simp Abrahamim onigini. Mang mahim ehe anwanafena?


eng: Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

amn: Ateaho so big enaig esogoi Mosesna nihe mo eba isug feg me? Amo eba awai. Olug onigig esegba nihe mo inim feg.


eng: since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

eng: Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

amn: Atiahog God eba Ju elni mungo? Amo, ehe afwambanai elni God gaba feg.


eng: We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

amn: Afa ati big enam numwehe anwanafig nihe mom pahlukuiag eba mas el Godna nofwa afsug fei. Eba heafna olug onigig mungo ehem enaig esegba eso afsug el feg.

eng: whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;

eng: Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

amn: Afa big anwanafig bigel Ju el nihe mona ahnai skaug agfohie eso big Ju el enaig esof ka mas amtakwalig esena mo. Eso God Ju el mi afa afwambanai el mi bigim gwenaig kwefihiagefe.

eng: Destruction and misery are in their ways.

amn: Afa ehengel nai yi ahanaig ahanaig agi mo memtowa pugunig.

eng: There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.

eng: As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.

amn: Afa Godna buk enaig esog; Mas aman mungo afsug el feg mo. Awai nemug.


eng: What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

eng: But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.

amn: Amo, eba awai. Afa mungwali el eso mwakwalig esig afa God mas enaig esei afa mo eso ehe sihig enam inim eseg. Afa Godna ginof enaig esog; Afa neana mo wagfug ne inim feg. Afa mahim el nem sehinibi afa ne inim mona filaitig.

eng: but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

amn: Afa afwambanai el eso mas nihig lofug kokohiageg mo afa enaig el nihe mom numwehe pahlukuiba eso God ehem nangugim onigig eso ofenai el nihig ati kwafug.


eng: For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

eng: For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

amn: Afa ka mas Kraisna lahlag mom sihiagim mas ka ahwanfeg mo. Afa Godna kigmog enag lahlag mo wa go. Afa aman el eso enag mom olug onigig eso God ehengelim mungwali wambug. Afa enag mo gof Ju elim puguni afa sumi yi gaba afwambanai elim puguni.


eng: So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

eng: Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

amn: O nilite, ka membeg ne anwanafig ka higeg esogo ka nem nangwagfum afa ahanaig ahanaig kam enaig esegim minam kagfunafug. Afa ka ogna nem bo nangwagnam afa nengel nai yi gafugafenam eso fug fafe afa so ka mingnag afwambanai elim gwenaig eseni.

eng: “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”

amn: “Afa sa ne anwenafi hwa suialag mo God esegba elim lambig afa God ena mo afwambanai elim gafa fai. Ehengel sa ena mo higife.”


eng: When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.

amn: Pol ena mo sihi fwahanaba ehengel asa hefum flafihiaginim asa apuke afuiaminefena.

amn: Afunam asa enag elim sihigonibi, ena elbi higafufenaba afa mas anwenafini mo. Afa nanguafufenaba mas numwehe nanguini mo.


eng: For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’

amn: Afa ehengelni misog oniginagig mas afwambuseni mo afa ehegelni angug titie skofena afa nofug kohla skofena.

eng: Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

amn: Afa minganag Pol mahim sihinaba ena mo finim afa minganag mo ena mom mas membini mo.


eng: When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.

amn: Eso ehengel mungo nagim wahinim ogna Pol nangum ambugog. Eso enanam el numb mungwali ambugonaba eso Pol Godna bog meg mo sihiage gofena leana pugunam ikan osupegna fena.

eng: But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”

amn: Afa koka neana mo higim mungwali el Kristenim enaig se ahanaig ambugahu enam mungo ati ka anwanafig.”


eng: They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.

amn: Afa ehengel enaig esogona og, “Ka mas Judia nai pas neana mom enanai yi nanguni mo, afa amangel so Judia nai ambugog mas nem ahanaig mo sihini mo afa mas nem molamp mo faig mo.


eng: For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”

amn: Enaig esegba eso ka nem awamonigim koka nem nangunam mo sihin. God so Ju elim sihi wahianig ena mo ka onigigim naso ka kalabus elbi feg.”


eng: But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

amn: Afa Rom kam kwefihinagigim afa mas kana mangim enanai yi kam wahagim nanguni mo. Afa muhwa ati kam wahigim ofifini,


eng: After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

amn: Afa mahim sambaga mungo osuna awaienaba eso Pol Ju amunai elim Rom wa nai awamoni.

eng: When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

amn: Afa ka ahu Rom nai yi saigonam afa gavman mas Polim kalabus yi fatini mo eba ehe enaig esogona og, “Pol neaga nimbe fwaimu lala gafiba soma soldia nem anwasa fenafof.”


eng: From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

eng: The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

amn: Afa ehena awagba nolug gih i embwele taf i feagenaba eso ehe kug wa gifini. Afa Pol sahu ika nangunam eso beten ena afa ningana tuhnam afa lahlafe fatina.


eng: Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.

eng: But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

amn: Afa el onigig og eba ehem ninga fufug me awai ehem ikagna wahai me. Afa nanguafohun mas ehem ahanaig esena mo eso ehengel nai onigini og eba god me.


eng: However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.

amn: Afa Pol ningam fufsia fiafanaba eso sombine suwi gam pitigifu ikana. Afa mas Polim mang fena mo.


eng: When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”

amn: Afa lala nai el nangunim hefum sihiagini og, “Ka onigig sonag elbi eba el amtakwalig ehe elim tigeule. Bu wa nai nimbasa mas ehem tautig faina mo afa yawo mangig nimbasa ati enag tautig faigba eba wahaf.”


eng: But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.

amn: Afa mahim Pol lihi wambu suwi wa wahlanaba afa pou nanai yi sahu gofna enag suwiana embem pugunam Polim ninga wa tige luwafna.


eng: The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.

amn: Afa el ena kimbig wa nai kam lahla fihiagini. Afa bu kam feniba nineg kam feskofnaba eso ehengel kam wanahunam suwi wahlaginibi eso ka mungwali nanai yi nolugiagini.


eng: When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.

amn: Afa mangigi yi ka lahlag opukonam afa so kam enanai yi el sihigoni og, “Ohuna biteba Malta.”


eng: and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.

amn: Afa minganag mo bot yi nai kukwehiag wa gwese lefiba eso ne ahuian mangigi yi opuko.” Eso gwenaig esini mungwali ahuna lahlag opuko minefena.


eng: But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;

amn: Afa ehengelni misog el mo ogna Polim kweagfu eso ehe kweni og, “Nofeka enaig esi.” Afa ehe enaig esona og, “Aman ne bu sisim anwanafegba eso apaiyenam bu sis ahuian ehegam mangigi yi opukona.


eng: The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

amn: Afa soldia enaig oniginam og eba kalabus el masa bu sis ahunam mangigi yi opukonam embem ahuf. Eso ogna kwaskofi.


eng: But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

amn: Afa engig bu megam nalig fegofnaba eso enanai yi botna gosu ikag ika nanai yi kunam kifuti gofnaba afa sumi nai mo bu tutoitifena.


eng: Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

amn: Afa so anka wegim kofunum bu megam fatinim afa so we pitigi fi wahinimbi eso aga botim wahigi wahigi fefugufnaba afa selim nohbosugam kikiagi wahini soma fufei botim engig gam fakui.

eng: In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.

eng: Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.

amn: Afa ena mo mahim olugim fingi feskofenaba eso ehengel gaba fane wambinim ahgana.


eng: When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.

amn: Ena mo sihi wahianam eso ehe bret fanam Godum lahlag onam so kowagnam nena.


eng: Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”

amn: Yawaba ka nem kifutig mo osihin so na fane wambu ahganam kifuti. Eba mas ne aman mungo awaiye eba mungwal lahlag opukof.”


eng: Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.

amn: Eso soldia wesig botna wem kofu wahianaba eso bot bu sisi langwakafna.


eng: Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”

amn: Afa Pol misog el mi soldia mi sihini og, “Afa sonag bot wa nai el bigim wanafag hwanigba eba bigim awaiyef.”


eng: As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,

amn: Afa minganag bot wa nai el og nawo botim wahiyi ahu. Afa ehe mwakwalini og ka anka botna nofbosugam afati afa ehe wesig botim wena kihlinim eso fifatiniba eso bot bu wa pe gofena.


eng: Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.

amn: Afa so wena bu gihinimba 40 mita enaig fena. Afa mwakwalig gwesim hilifi gihinimbi eba 30 mita enaig fena.


eng: But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.

amn: Afa 14 osuna mahim awaiyenaba bifwat kam Mediterenian bu wa esim esim wambug gohug. Mongkug liputegna afa bot wa nai el onigini og ati big bite muhwa ofi.


eng: But we must run aground on a certain island.”

eng: Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

amn: Afa ehe kam esonag og, ‘Pol nofeka embefe. So na ika Sisarna nofwa gofum. God nem lahlafiafag eso el sohna mungwali go mas awaiyeg mo.’


eng: For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

amn: Ka Godna gafugag el afa amu sinaini heafna of wa nai el bo kam muhwa puguna.


eng: When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete and have gotten this injury and loss.

amn: Afa higeg gofenaba fane mas ahgana mo afa Pol bihianam ehengelim sihini og, “Afa ne kana mom pahlukuite eso big Krit yi auguiafite eba mas ne enag kinig fiti.

eng: Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

amn: Afa ahuiafnaba managig hwainig bifwat nalig gweyi Krit mina bo. Ena bifwatibi sefig angmug nai bifwat bona.


eng: When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

amn: Fufwei wesig sahigifinibi eso ehengel onigini ogma bigim enag fufei soma bigim bot wa wambukuiafi. Eso anka bu wa nai fi bot wa fatinim eso Krit yi bumeigim ahuiafna.


eng: Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking southwest and northwest.

amn: Afa ehengel onigini og masa bot gohonai yi gofiba ese amtakwalig osuna puguf. Afa mungwal esogona, “Sana gihahu so big Finiks yi opukonam enanai yi auguiafiba nengifibi mahim amtakwalig osuna ika awaiyeba.” Afa enanai yi Krit ehegam bite lahlag wa fufei hwainig wa auguiafna.

amn: Afa soldia misog el Polna mo mas higina mo, afa botna awag i afa bot faukuiaule el i ogna ahka eso ehe eheningina mo higini.


eng: and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”

amn: “Sa kam higini, ati ka anwanafeg big ahuiba eba big kinig fif. Bigim mungwali, bot i, gawig i bigim awaiyef.”


eng: When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
