罗9:1
I speak the truth in Christ -- I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit --
我在基督里说真话，并不谎言，有我良心被圣灵感动，给我作见证。


罗9:2
I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
我是大有忧愁，心里时常伤痛；


罗9:3
For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race,
为我弟兄、我骨肉之亲，就是自己被咒诅，与基督分离，我也愿意。


罗9:4
the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises.
他们是以色列人，那儿子的名分、荣耀、诸约、律法、礼仪、应许，都是他们的。


罗9:5
Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.
列祖就是他们的祖宗，按肉体说，基督也是从他们出来的，他是在万有之上，永远可称颂的 神。阿们！


罗9:6
It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
这不是说 神的话落了空，因为从以色列生的，不都是以色列人；


罗9:7
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."
也不因为是亚伯拉罕的后裔，就都作他的儿女；惟独“从以撒生的，才要称为你的后裔。”


罗9:8
In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.
这就是说，肉身所生的儿女不是 神的儿女；惟独那应许的儿女才算是后裔。


罗9:9
For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son."
因为所应许的话是这样说：“到明年这时候我要来，撒拉必生一个儿子。”


罗9:10
Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same father, our father Isaac.
不但如此，还有利百加，既从一个人，就是从我们的祖宗以撒怀了孕，


罗9:11
Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad -- in order that God's purpose in election might stand:
（双子还没有生下来，善恶还没有作出来，只因要显明 神拣选人的旨意，不在乎人的行为，乃在乎召人的主。）


罗9:12
not by works but by him who calls -- she was told, "The older will serve the younger."
神就对利百加说：“将来大的要服事小的。”


罗9:13
Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
正如经上所记：“雅各是我所爱的，以扫是我所恶的。”


罗9:14
What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!
这样，我们可说什么呢？难道 神有什么不公平吗？断乎没有！


罗9:15
For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
因他对摩西说：“我要怜悯谁，就怜悯谁；要恩待谁，就恩待谁。”


罗9:16
It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
据此看来，这不在乎那定意的，也不在乎那奔跑的，只在乎发怜悯的 神。


罗9:17
For the 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."
因为经上有话向法老说：“我将你兴起来，特要在你身上彰显我的权能，并要使我的名传遍天下。”


罗9:18
Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
如此看来， 神要怜悯谁，就怜悯谁；要叫谁刚硬，就叫谁刚硬。


罗9:19
One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?"
这样，你必对我说：“他为什么还指责人呢？有谁抗拒他的旨意呢？”


罗9:20
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it,'Why did you make me like this?'"
你这个人哪，你是谁，竟敢向 神强嘴呢？受造之物岂能对造他的说：“你为什么这样造我呢？”


罗9:21
Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?
窑匠难道没有权柄从一团泥里拿一块做成贵重的器皿，又拿一块做成卑贱的器皿吗？


罗9:22
What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath -- prepared for destruction?
倘若 神要显明他的忿怒，彰显他的权能，就多多忍耐宽容那可怒、预备遭毁灭的器皿；


罗9:23
What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory --
又要将他丰盛的荣耀彰显在那蒙怜悯、早预备得荣耀的器皿上。


罗9:24
even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
这器皿就是我们被 神所召的，不但是从犹太人中，也是从外邦人中。这有什么不可呢？


罗9:25
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,"
就像 神在何西阿书上说：“那本来不是我子民的，我要称为'我的子民'；本来不是蒙爱的，我要称为'蒙爱的'。


罗9:26
and, "It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them,'You are not my people,' they will be called'sons of the living God.'"
从前在什么地方对他们说，'你们不是我的子民'，将来就在那里称他们为'永生 神的儿子'。”


罗9:27
Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
以赛亚指着以色列人喊着说：“以色列人虽多如海沙，得救的不过是剩下的余数。


罗9:28
For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality."
因为主要在世上施行他的话，叫他的话都成全，速速地完结。”


罗9:29
It is just as Isaiah said previously: "Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah."
又如以赛亚先前说过：“若不是万军之主给我们存留余种，我们早已像所多玛、蛾摩拉的样子了。”


罗9:30
What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
这样，我们可说什么呢？那本来不追求义的外邦人反得了义，就是因信而得的义；


罗9:31
but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
但以色列人追求律法的义，反得不着律法的义。


罗9:32
Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone."
这是什么缘故呢？是因为他们不凭着信心求，只凭着行为求，他们正跌在那绊脚石上。


罗9:33
As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
就如经上所记：“我在锡安放一块绊脚的石头，跌人的磐石；信靠他的人必不至于羞愧。”
