(HebDelitzsch)
אֱמֶת אֲנִי מְדַבֵּר בַּמָּשִׁיחַ וְלֹא אֲשַׁקֵּר וְדַעְתִּי מְעִידָה לִי בְּרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ׃
aI am
telling the
truth in
Christ, I am not
lying; my
conscience testifies with me in the
Holy Spirit,
(HebDelitzsch)
כִּי־גָדוֹל עִצְּבוֹנִי וְאֵין־קֵץ לְדַאֲבוֹן לִבִּי׃
that I have
great sorrow and
unceasing grief in my
heart.
(HebDelitzsch)
כִּי מִי־יִתֵּן הֱיוֹתִי אֲנִי מָחֳרָם מִן־הַמָּשִׁיחַ בְּעַד אַחַי שְׁאֵרִי וּבְשָׂרִי׃
For
bI could
▼wish that I
myself were
daccursed,
separated from
Christ for the sake of my
countrymen, my
kinsmen eaccording to the
flesh,
(HebDelitzsch)
אֲשֶׁר הֵם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיֵשׁ לָהֶם מִשְׁפַּט הַבָּנִים וְהַכָּבוֹד וְהַבְּרִיתוֹת וּמַתַּן הַתּוֹרָה וַעֲבוֹדַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְהַהַבְטָחוֹת׃
who are
fIsraelites, to
whom belongs
gthe
adoption as sons and daughters, hthe
glory,
ithe
covenants,
jthe
giving of the Law,
kthe
temple service, and
lthe
promises;
(HebDelitzsch)
וְלָהֶם הָאָבוֹת וַאֲשֶׁר מֵהֶם יָצָא הַמָּשִׁיחַ לְפִי בְשָׂרוֹ אֲשֶׁר־הוּא אֵל עַל־הַכֹּל מְבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָמִים אָמֵן׃
whose are
mthe
fathers, and
nfrom
whom is the
▼Christ according to the
flesh,
pwho is
over all,
qGod rblessed ▼forever.
Amen.
(HebDelitzsch)
אֲבָל לֹא כְאִלּוּ נָפַל דְּבַר אֱלֹהִים אָרְצָה כִּי לֹא־כֹל אֲשֶׁר הֵם מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל גַּם יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵמָּה׃
But
it is not as
though tthe
word of
God has
failed.
uFor they are not
all Israel who are
descended from
Israel;
(HebDelitzsch)
וְלֹא עַל־הֱיוֹתָם זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם כֻּלָּם בָּנִים הֵם כִּי בְיִצְחָק יִקָּרֵא לְךָ זָרַע׃
nor are they
all children vbecause they are
Abraham’s ▼ xdescendants, but: “
▼ zthrough I
saac your ▼descendants shall be named.”
(HebDelitzsch)
כְּלוֹמַר לֹא בְנֵי־הַבָּשָׂר הֵמָּה בְּנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי אִם־בְּנֵי הַהַבְטָחָה הֵם הַנֶּחֱשָׁבִים לְזָרַע׃
That is, it is not the
children of the
flesh ▼who are
acchildren of
God, but the
adchildren of the
promise are
regarded as
▼ afdescendants.
(HebDelitzsch)
כִּי־דְבַר הַבְטָחָה הוּא מַה־שֶּׁנֶּאֱמַר לַמּוֹעֵד אָשׁוּב וּלְשָׂרָה בֵן׃
For
this is the
word of
promise: “
agA
t this time I
will come,
and S
arah will have a son.”
(HebDelitzsch)
וְלֹא־זֹאת בִּלְבָד כִּי־כֵן הָיָה גַּם־בְּרִבְקָה בִּהְיוֹתָהּ הָרָה לְאֶחָד לְיִצְחָק אָבִינוּ׃
ahAnd not
only that, but there was
also aiRebekah, when she had
conceived twins by
one man, our
father Isaac;
(HebDelitzsch)
כִּי בְטֶרֶם יֻלְּדוּ בָנֶיהָ וְעוֹד לֹא־עָשֹוּ טוֹב אוֹ־רָע לְמַעַן תָּקוּם עֲצַת הָאֱלֹהִים כְּפִי בְחִירָתוֹ לֹא מִתּוֹךְ מַעֲשִׂים כִּי אִם־כִּרְצוֹן הַקֹּרֵא׃
for though
the twins were not
yet born and had not
done anything good or bad,
so that ajGod’s purpose according to
His choice would
▼stand, not
▼because of
works but
▼because of Him who
calls,
(HebDelitzsch)
נֶאֱמַר לָהּ כִּי־רַב יַעֲבֹד צָעִיר׃
it was
said to her, “
anT
he older will serve the younger.”
(HebDelitzsch)
כַּכָּתוּב וָאֹהַב אֶת־יַעֲקֹב וְאֶת־עֵשָׂו שָׂנֵאתִי׃
Just as it is
written: “
aoJacob I
have loved,
but Esau I
have hated.”
(HebDelitzsch)
אִם־כֵּן מַה־נֹּאמַר הֲכִי יֶשׁ־עָוֶל בֵּאלֹהִים חָלִילָה׃
apWhat shall we
say then?
aqThere is
no injustice with
God, is there?
▼▼Lit
May it never happen! asFar from it!
(HebDelitzsch)
כִּי לְמשֶׁה אָמַר וְחַנֹּתִי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר אָחֹן וְרִחַמְתִּי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר אֲרַחֵם׃
For He
says to
Moses, “
atI
will have mercy on whomever I
have mercy,
and I
will show compassion to whomever I
show compassion.”
(HebDelitzsch)
וְעַל־כֵּן אֵין הַדָּבָר לֹא־בְיַד הָרֹצֶה וְלֹא־בְיַד הָרָץ כִּי אִם־בְּיַד הָאֱלֹהִים הַמְרַחֵם׃
So then,
it does not
depend on the
person who
▼wants it nor the one who
▼▼I.e., to win mercy or favor
awruns, but on
axGod who
has mercy.
(HebDelitzsch)
כִּי־כֵן הַכָּתוּב אֹמֵר לְפַרְעֹה בַּעֲבוּר זֹאת הֶעֱמַדְתִּיךָ בַּעֲבוּר הַרְאֹתְךָ אֶת־כֹּחִי וּלְמַעַן סַפֵּר שְׁמִי בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ׃
For the
Scripture says to
Pharaoh, “
ayF
or this very reason I
raised you up,
in order to demonstrate M
y power in you,
and that M
y name might be proclaimed ▼throughout the earth.”
(HebDelitzsch)
וְיוֹצֵא מִזֶּה כִּי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ יְחֻנֶּנּוּ וְאֶת־אֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ יַקְשֵׁהוּ׃
So then He
has mercy on
whom He
desires, and He
bahardens whom He
desires.
(HebDelitzsch)
וְכִי תֹאמַר אֵלַי מַדּוּעַ יוֹכִיחַ עוֹד נֶגֶד רְצוֹנוֹ מִי יִתְיַצָּב׃
bbYou will
say to me
then, “
bcWhy does He
still find fault? For
bdwho has
resisted His
will?”
(HebDelitzsch)
אָמְנָם בֶּן־אָדָם מִי אַתָּה אֲשֶׁר תָּרִיב אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים הֲיֹאמַר יֵצֶר לְיֹצְרוֹ לָמָּה כָּכָה עֲשִׂיתָנִי׃
On the contrary,
who are you,
▼ bfyou
foolish person, who
bganswers back to
God?
bhThe
thing molded will not
say to the
molder, “
Why did you
make me
like this,” will it?
(HebDelitzsch)
אִם־אֵין רְשׁוּת לַיֹּצֵר עַל־הַחֹמֶר לַעֲשׂוֹת מִגֹּלֶם אֶחָד כְּלִי אֶחָד לְכָבוֹד וְאֶחָד לְקָלוֹן׃
Or does the
potter not
have a
right over the
clay, to
make from the
same lump one object ▼for
honorable use, and
another ▼for
common use?
(HebDelitzsch)
וּמָה אֵפוֹא אִם־הָאֱלֹהִים הֶחָפֵץ לְהַרְאוֹת זַעְמוֹ וּלְהוֹדִיעַ גְּבוּרָתוֹ נָשָׂא בְּכָל־אֹרֶךְ רוּחוֹ אֶת־כְּלֵי הַזַּעַם הַנְּכוֹנִים לַאֲבַדּוֹן׃
▼What if God, although
willing to
demonstrate His
wrath and to
make His
power known,
endured with
great blpatience objects of
wrath bmprepared for
destruction?
(HebDelitzsch)
לְהוֹדִיעַ גַּם־אֶת־עשֶׁר כְּבוֹדוֹ עַל־כְּלֵי הַחֲנִינָה אֲשֶׁר יְעָדָם לַכָּבוֹד׃
And
He did so to
make known bnthe
riches of His
glory upon
boobjects of
mercy,
which He
bpprepared beforehand for
glory,
(HebDelitzsch)
וְהֵם אֲנַחְנוּ אֲשֶׁר קְרָאָם לֹא מִן־הַיְּהוּדִים בִּלְבַד כִּי אַף מִן־הַגּוֹיִם׃
namely us,
whom He
also bqcalled,
brnot
only from
among Jews, but
also from
among Gentiles,
(HebDelitzsch)
כְּדַבְּרוֹ בְהוֹשֵׁעַ אֶקְרָא לְלֹא־עַמִּי עַמִּי וּלְלֹא־רֻחָמָה רֻחָמָה׃
as He
also says in
Hosea:
“
bsI
will call those who were not M
y people, ‘M
y people,’
A
nd her who was not beloved, ‘
beloved.’”
(HebDelitzsch)
וְהָיָה בִּמְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־יֵאָמֵר לָהֶם לֹא־עַמִּי אַתֶּם יֵאָמֵר לָהֶם בְּנֵי אֵל־חָי׃
“
btA
nd it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘
you are not M
y people,’
T
here they shall be called sons of buthe living God.”
(HebDelitzsch)
וִישַׁעְיָהוּ קָרָא בְּקוֹלוֹ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי אִם־יִהְיֶה מִסְפַּר בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּחוֹל הַיָּם שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב בּוֹ כִּלָּיוֹן חָרוּץ שֹׁטֵף צְדָקָה׃
Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “
bvT
hough the number of the sons of I
srael may be bwlike the sand of the sea,
only bxthe remnant will be saved;
(HebDelitzsch)
כִּי כָלָה וְנֶחֱרָצָה אֲדֹנָי עֹשֶׂה בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ׃
byfor the L
ord will execute H
is word on the earth,
▼thoroughly and ▼quickly.”
(HebDelitzsch)
וְכַאֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְשַׁעְיָהוּ לְפָנִים לוּלֵי יְהוָֹה צְבָאוֹת הוֹתִיר לָנוּ שָׂרִיד כִּמְעָט כִּסְדֹם הָיִינוּ לַעֲמֹרָה דָּמִינוּ׃
And
just as Isaiah foretold:
“
cbIf ccthe Lord ▼▼Gr
sabaoth, for Heb
tsebaoth (armies)
of armies had not left us ▼ cfdescendants,
cgW
e would have become like Sodom,
and would have ▼been like Gomorrah.”
(HebDelitzsch)
וְעַתָּה מַה־נֹּאמַר הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא רָדְפוּ אַחֲרֵי הַצְּדָקָה הִשִּׂיגוּ אֶת־הַצְּדָקָה הִיא הַצְּדָקָה אֲשֶׁר מִתּוֹךְ הָאֱמוּנָה׃
ciWhat shall we
say then? That
Gentiles, who did not
pursue righteousness,
attained righteousness, but
cjthe
righteousness that is
▼by
faith;
(HebDelitzsch)
וְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּבַקְשׁוֹ אַחֲרֵי תּוֹרַת צְדָקָה לְתוֹרַת הַצְּדָקָה לֹא הִגִּיעַ׃
however,
Israel,
clpursuing a
law of
righteousness, did not
cmarrive at
that law.
(HebDelitzsch)
וְעַל־מָה יַעַן אֲשֶׁר־לֹא מֵאֱמוּנָה דְּרָשׁוּהָ כִּי אִם־מִמַּעֲשֵׂי הַתּוֹרָה כִּי הִתְנַגְּפוּ בְּאֶבֶן נָגֶף׃
Why?
Because they did not
pursue it ▼by
faith, but
as though they could ▼by
works. They
stumbled over cpthe
stumbling stone,
(HebDelitzsch)
כַּכָּתוּב הִנְנִי יִסַּד בְּצִיּוֹן אֶבֶן נֶגֶף וְצוּר מִכְשׁוֹל וְכָל־הַמַּאֲמִין בּוֹ לֹא יֵבוֹשׁ׃
just as it is
written:
“
cqBehold, I
am laying in Zion cra stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,
csA
nd the one who believes in Him ctwill not be ▼put to shame.”
