|
1我在基督裏說真話，並不謊言，有我良心被聖靈感動，給我作見證； |
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, |
1 I speak the truth in Christ -- I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit-- |
|
|||||||||
|
2我是大有憂愁，心裏時常傷痛；
|
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
|
2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
|
|
|||||||||
|
3為我弟兄，我骨肉之親，就是自己被咒詛，與基督分離，我也願意。
|
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
|
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,
|

|
4他們是以色列人；那兒子的名分、榮耀、諸約、律法、禮儀、應許都是他們的。 |
4 Who are Israelites; to whom [pertaineth] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
|
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.
|
|
|||||||||
|
5列祖就是他們的祖宗，按肉體說，基督也是從他們出來的，他是在萬有之上，永遠可稱頌的神。阿們！
|
5 Whose [are] the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ [came], who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
|
5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.
|
|
|||||||||
|
6這不是說神的話落了空。因為從以色列生的不都是以色列人，
|
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel:
|
6 It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
|
|
|||||||||
|
7也不因為是亞伯拉罕的後裔就都作他的兒女；惟獨「從以撒生的才要稱為你的後裔。」
|
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
|
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."
|
|
|||||||||
|
8這就是說，肉身所生的兒女不是神的兒女，惟獨那應許的兒女才算是後裔。 |
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. |
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.
|
|
|||||||||
|
9因為所應許的話是這樣說：「到明年這時候我要來，撒拉必生一個兒子。」
|
9 For this [is] the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
|
9 For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son."
|
和合本中的「明年」，在KJV和NIV中都沒有出現。 |
|||||||||
|
10不但如此，還有利百加，既從一個人，就是從我們的祖宗以撒懷了孕，
|
10 And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac;
|
10 Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same father, our father Isaac.
|
|
|||||||||
|
11 （雙子還沒有生下來，善惡還沒有做出來，只因要顯明神揀選人的旨意，不在乎人的行為，乃在乎召人的主。）
|
11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; )
|
11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad--in order that God's purpose in election might stand:
|
|
|||||||||
|
12神就對利百加說：「將來大的要服事小的。」
|
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
|
12 not by works but by him who calls -- she was told, "The older will serve the younger."
|
NIV中的「not by works but by him who calls」，在和合和KJV是在隽11節中 |
|||||||||
|
13正如經上所記：雅各是我所愛的；以掃是我所惡的。
|
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
|
13 Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
|
|
|||||||||
|
14這樣，我們可說甚麼呢？難道神有甚麼不公平嗎？斷乎沒有！
|
14 What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
|
14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!
|
和含本和NIV中的「斷乎沒有斷乎沒有Not at all」，在KJV中作「God forbid」。 |
|||||||||
|
15因他對摩西說：我要憐憫誰就憐憫誰，要恩待誰就恩待誰。
|
15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. |
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."
|
|
|||||||||
|
16據此看來，這不在乎那定意的，也不在乎那奔跑的，只在乎發憐憫的神。
|
16 So then [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
|
16 It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
|
|
|||||||||
|
17因為經上有話向法老說：「我將你興起來，特要在你身上彰顯我的權能，並要使我的名傳遍天下。」
|
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
|
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."
|
|
|||||||||
|
18如此看來，神要憐憫誰就憐憫誰，要叫誰剛硬就叫誰剛硬。
|
18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.
|
18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
|
|
|||||||||
|
19這樣，你必對我說：「他為甚麼還指責人呢？有誰抗拒他的旨意呢？」
|
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
|
19 One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?"
|
|
|||||||||
|
20你這個人哪，你是誰，竟敢向神強嘴呢？受造之物豈能對造他的說：「你為甚麼這樣造我呢？
|
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus? |
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?' "
|
|
|||||||||
|
21窰匠難道沒有權柄從一團泥裏拿一塊作成貴重的器皿，又拿一塊作成卑賤的器皿嗎？
|
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
|
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?
|
|
|||||||||
|
|
|
|
|||||||||
|
23又要將他豐盛的榮耀彰顯在那蒙憐憫早預備得榮耀的器皿上。
|
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
|
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--
|
|
|||||||||
|
24這器皿就是我們被神所召的，不但是從猶太人中，也是從外邦人中。這有甚麼不可呢？
|
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? |
24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
|
|
|||||||||
|
25就像神在何西阿書上說：那本來不是我子民的，我要稱為「我的子民」；本來不是蒙愛的，我要稱為「蒙愛的」。
|
25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
|
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,"
|
|
|||||||||
|
26從前在甚麼地方對他們說：你們不是我的子民，將來就在那裏稱他們為「永生神的兒子」。 |
26 And it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
|
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.' "
|
|
|||||||||
|
27以賽亞指著以色列人喊著說：「以色列人雖多如海沙，得救的不過是剩下的餘數；
|
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: |
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.
|
|
|||||||||
|
28因為主要在世上施行他的話，叫他的話都成全，速速地完結。」 |
28 For he will finish the work, and cut [it] short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
|
28 For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality."
|
KJV為「cut [it] short in righteousness」，沒有在和合本和NIV中出現 |
|||||||||
|
29又如以賽亞先前說過：若不是萬軍之主給我們存留餘種，我們早已像所多瑪，蛾摩拉的樣子了。 |
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. |
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."
|
|
|||||||||
|
30這樣，我們可說甚麼呢？那本來不追求義的外邦人反得了義，就是因信而得的義。 |
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
|
30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
|
|
|||||||||
|
31但以色列人追求律法的義，反得不著律法的義。 |
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
|
31 but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
|
|
|||||||||
|
32這是甚麼緣故呢？是因為他們不憑著信心求，只憑著行為求，他們正跌在那絆腳石上。 |
32 Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone; |
32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone."
|
|
|||||||||
|
33就如經上所記：我在錫安放一塊絆腳的石頭，跌人的磐石；信靠他的人必不至於羞愧。 |
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. |
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." |
