My LORD’s BibleRomans 9
2That I have great sadness and continual sorrow in my heart.
quoniam tristitia mihi magna est, et continuus dolor cordi meo.
5Whose are the fathers and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.
quorum patres, et ex quibus est Christus secundum carnem, qui est super omnia Deus benedictus in sæcula. Amen.
6Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel.
Non autem quod exciderit verbum Dei. Non enim omnes qui ex Israël sunt, ii sunt Israëlitæ:
8That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh are the children of God: but they that are the children of the promise are accounted for the seed.
id est, non qui filii carnis, hi filii Dei: sed qui filii sunt promissionis, æstimantur in semine.
9For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come. And Sara shall have a son.
Promissionis enim verbum hoc est: Secundum hoc tempus veniam: et erit Saræ filius.
10And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once of Isaac our father.
Non solum autem illa: sed et Rebecca ex uno concubitu habens, Isaac patris nostri.
11For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God according to election might stand):
Cum enim nondum nati fuissent, aut aliquid boni egissent, aut mali (ut secundum electionem propositum Dei maneret),
12Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.
non ex operibus, sed ex vocante dictum est ei quia major serviet minori,
14What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid!
Quid ergo dicemus? numquid iniquitas apud Deum? Absit.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Igitur non volentis, neque currentis, sed miserentis est Dei.
17For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Dicit enim Scriptura Pharaoni: Quia in hoc ipsum excitavi te, ut ostendam in te virtutem meam: et ut annuntietur nomen meum in universa terra.
18Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will. And whom he will, he hardeneth.
Ergo cujus vult miseretur, et quem vult indurat.
19Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? For who resisteth his will?
Dicis itaque mihi: Quid adhuc queritur? voluntati enim ejus quis resistit?
20O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?
O homo, tu quis es, qui respondeas Deo? numquid dicit figmentum ei qui se finxit: Quid me fecisti sic?
21Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour?
an non habet potestatem figulus luti ex eadem massa facere aliud quidem vas in honorem, aliud vero in contumeliam?
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,
Quod si Deus volens ostendere iram, et notum facere potentiam suam, sustinuit in multa patientia vasa iræ, apta in interitum,
23That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he hath prepared unto glory?
ut ostenderet divitias gloriæ suæ in vasa misericordiæ, quæ præparavit in gloriam.
24Even us, whom also he hath called, not only of the Jews but also of the Gentiles.
Quos et vocavit nos non solum ex Judæis, sed etiam in gentibus,
25As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy; one that hath obtained mercy.
sicut in Osee dicit: Vocabo non plebem meam, plebem meam: et non dilectam, dilectam: et non misericordiam consecutam, misericordiam consecutam.
26And it shalt be in the place where it was said unto them: you are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.
Et erit: in loco, ubi dictum est eis: Non plebs mea vos: ibi vocabuntur filii Dei vivi.
27And Isaias cried out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
Isaias autem clamat pro Israël: Si fuerit numerus filiorum Israël tamquam arena maris, reliquiæ salvæ fient.
29And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabbaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom and we had been like unto Gomorrha.
et sicut prædixit Isaias: Nisi Dominus Sabaoth reliquisset nobis semen, sicut Sodoma facti essemus, et sicut Gomorrha similes fuissemus.
30What then shall we say? That the Gentiles who followed not after justice have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
Quid ergo dicemus? Quod gentes, quæ non sectabantur justitiam, apprehenderunt justitiam: justitiam autem, quæ ex fide est.
31But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
Israël vero sectando legem justitiæ, in legem justitiæ non pervenit.
32Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
Quare? Quia non ex fide, sed quasi ex operibus: offenderunt enim in lapidem offensionis,
