Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 I tell the truth in Messiah. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Ruach HaKodesh,
1
Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
2
that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart --
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Messiah for my brothers' sake, my relatives according to the flesh,
3
for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,
4 who are Yisra'elites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
4
who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
5 whose are the fathers, and of whom is Messiah as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amein.
5
whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Yisra'el, that are of Yisra'el.
6
And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;
7 Neither, because they are Avraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In Yitzchak will your seed be called."
7
nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but -- `in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.
8
that is, the children of the flesh -- these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
9 For this is a word of promise, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
9
for the word of promise [is] this; `According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
10 Not only so, but Rivka also conceived by one, by our father Yitzchak.
10
And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one -- Isaac our father --
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
11
(for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her --
12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
12
`The greater shall serve the less;'
13 Even as it is written, "Ya`akov I loved, but Esav I hated."
13
according as it hath been written, `Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
14
What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!
15 For he said to Moshe, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
15
for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
16
so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
17 For the Scripture says to Par`oh, "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 published abroad in all the eretz."
17
for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- `For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
18
so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
19
Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
20 But no, man, who are you who replies against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"
20
nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?
21 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?
21
hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,
22
And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
23
and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us --
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Yehudim only, but also from the Goyim?
24
not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
25 As he says also in Hoshea, "I will call them 'my people,' which were not my people; And her 'beloved,' who was not beloved."
25
as also in Hosea He saith, `I will call what [is] not My people -- My people; and her not beloved -- Beloved,
26 "It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'sons of the living God.'"
26
and it shall be -- in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.'
27 Yesha`yahu cries concerning Yisra'el, "If the number of the children of Yisra'el are as the sand of the sea, It is the remnant who will be saved;
27
And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, `If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;
28 For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the eretz."
28
for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.
29 As Yesha`yahu has said before, "Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, We would have become like Sedom, And would have been made like `Amorah."
29
and according as Isaiah saith before, `Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'
30 What shall we say then? That the Goyim, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
30
What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
31 but Yisra'el, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness.
31
and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;
32 Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
32
wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,
33 even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Tziyon a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; And no one who believes in him will be put to shame."
33
according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
