Bawlos Waa U Tiraanyooday Reer Binu Israa'iil Rumaysaddarradooda

Runtaan ku sheegayaa Masiixa, oo been sheegi maayo, qalbigayguna marag buu iigu furayaa Ruuxa Quduuskaa in caloolxumo weyn iyo xanuun aan joogsanaynin ay ku jiraan qalbigayga. Waayo, waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan aniga qudhaydu ka inkaarnaado Masiixa walaalahay aawadood oo ah xigaalkayga aannu isku jidhka nahay, kuwa ah reer binu Israa'iil, oo leh carruur-ka-dhigidda, iyo ammaanta, iyo axdiyada, iyo sharciga siintiisa, iyo u-adeegidda Ilaah, iyo ballamada, 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

Laakiin mana aha sidii iyadoo ereygii Ilaah dhacay. Waayo, kuwa Israa'iil ka dhashay kulligood reer binu Israa'iil ma wada aha. Farcankii Ibraahim oo ay yihiin aawadeed kulligood carruur kuma wada aha, laakiin waxaa la yidhi, Kuwa Isxaaq ka farcama ayaa farcankaaga loogu yeedhi doonaa. Taas waxaa weeyaan, inaan carruurta jidhku ahayn carruurta Ilaah, laakiin carruurtii loo ballanqaaday ayaa farcan lagu tiriyaa. Waayo, kanu waa hadal ballan ah, Wakhtigan oo kale ayaan kuu iman doonaa, oo Saarah waxay dhali doontaa wiil. 10 Oo taas oo keliyana ma ahee, laakiin Rebeqahna mid bay u uuraysatay, kaas oo ahaa aabbeheen Isxaaq. 11 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 waxaa iyada lagu yidhi, Kan weynu wuxuu u adeegi doonaa kan ka yar. 13 Sida qoran, Yacquub waan jeclaaday, Ceesawse waan necbaaday.

Ilaah Xaqdarro Ma Leh

14 Maxaan nidhaahnaa haddaba? Ma xaqdarro baa Ilaah la jirta? Ma suurtowdo! 15 Waayo, wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Waan u naxariisan doonaa kii aan u naxariisto, waanan u nixi doonaa, kii aan u naxo. 16 Sidaas daraaddeed xagga kan doonaya ma aha, xagga kan ordana ma aha, laakiinse waa xagga Ilaaha naxariista leh. 17 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 Haddaba kuu doonayo wuu u naxariistaa, kuu doonayona qalbigiisuu engejiyaa.

Ilaah Baa Xukunka Leh

19 Waxaad igu odhan doontaa, Muxuu weli ii eedaynayaa? Waayo, yaa doonistiisa ka gees noqda? 20 Laakiinse, nin yahow, kumaad tahay kaaga Ilaah u jawaabayow? Wixii la sameeyey miyey kii sameeyey ku odhan doonaan, Maaxad sidan noogu samaysay? 21 Dheriyasameeyuhu miyuusan lahayn amar uu ugu taliyo dhoobada inuu fud keliya in ka sameeyo weel cisa leh, inta kalena mid aan cisa lahayn? 22 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 iyo inuu hodantinimadii ammaantiisa ogeysiiyo weelasha naxariista oo uu hore ugu diyaariyey ammaanta, 24 xataa kuweenna uu u yeedhay oo uusan uga yeedhin Yuhuudda oo keliya laakiinse uu uga yeedhay quruumaha kalena? 25 Siduu Hooseeca ka dhex yidhi,

Kuwo aan dadkaygii ahayn ayaan u bixin doonaa, Dadkayga,
Tu aan ahayn gacalisadaydiina waxaan u bixin doonaa, Gacaliso.
26 Oo waxay noqon doontaa, meeshii laga yidhi iyaga, Dadkayga ma ihidin,
Meeshaas waxaa looga bixin doonaa, Carruurtii Ilaaha nool.

27 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 waayo, Rabbigu hadalkiisa dhulkuu ku samayn doonaa, isagoo dhammaystiraya oo soo gaabinaya, 29 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 Maxaan nidhaahnaa haddaba? Dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn oo aan xaqnimada raacin, waxay heleen xaqnimada, oo ah xaqnimada rumaysad lagu helo; 31 laakiin reer binu Israa'iil iyagoo raaca sharciga xaqnimada, sharcigaas ma ay gaadhin. 32 Tan sababteedu waa maxay? Maxaa yeelay, rumaysad kuma ay doondoonin, shuqullada samayntooda mooyaane. Waxay ku turunturoodeen dhagaxii turunturada; 33 sida qoran,

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

Paul’s Anguish Over Israel

I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying,(A) my conscience confirms(B) it through the Holy Spirit— I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself(C) were cursed(D) and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people,(E) those of my own race,(F) the people of Israel.(G) Theirs is the adoption to sonship;(H) theirs the divine glory,(I) the covenants,(J) the receiving of the law,(K) the temple worship(L) and the promises.(M) Theirs are the patriarchs,(N) and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah,(O) who is God over all,(P) forever praised![a](Q) Amen.

God’s Sovereign Choice

It is not as though God’s word(R) had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.(S) Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[b](T) In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,(U) but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.(V) For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”[c](W)

10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.(X) 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad(Y)—in order that God’s purpose(Z) in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”[d](AA) 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[e](AB)

14 What then shall we say?(AC) Is God unjust? Not at all!(AD) 15 For he says to Moses,

“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
    and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f](AE)

16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(AF) 17 For 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.”[g](AG) 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.(AH)

19 One of you will say to me:(AI) “Then why does God still blame us?(AJ) For who is able to resist his will?”(AK) 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?(AL) “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,(AM) ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[h](AN) 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?(AO)

22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience(AP) the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?(AQ) 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory(AR) known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory(AS) 24 even us, whom he also called,(AT) not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?(AU) 25 As he says in Hosea:

“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
    and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”[i](AV)

26 and,

“In the very place where it was said to them,
    ‘You are not my people,’
    there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”[j](AW)

27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,(AX)
    only the remnant will be saved.(AY)
28 For the Lord will carry out
    his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”[k](AZ)

29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:

“Unless the Lord Almighty(BA)
    had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
    we would have been like Gomorrah.”[l](BB)

Israel’s Unbelief

30 What then shall we say?(BC) That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;(BD) 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness,(BE) have not attained their goal.(BF) 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.(BG) 33 As it is written:

“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
    and a rock that makes them fall,
    and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[m](BH)
