Ŵaloma 10
1 Achalongo achinjangu, chingulajila kwannope mu ntima mwangu, ni ngwapopelela Akunnungu kwaligongo lya Ŵaisilaeli, kuti akulupuswe.
Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them is for salvation.
2 Pakuŵa isyene ngunsalila umboni kuti akuchalila kwatumichila Akunnungu, nambo ngaŵa mu umanyilisi wambone.
For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Pakuŵa nganaimanyilila yakuti Akunnungu pakwaŵalanjila ŵandu kuŵa ŵambone paujo pao, nombewo atandisye litala lyao achinsyene. Ngakulikuya litala lya kuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own [righteousness], have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
4 Pakuŵa kwa kwika kwakwe Kilisito, malajisyo gaichile kumbesi kwakwe, pakuŵa mundu jwalijose jwakunkulupilila Kilisito aŵalanjikwe jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
For Christ is [the] end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.
5 Nkati ngani ja kuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya kukamula Malajisyo, che Musa ŵalembile yele, “Mundu jwakugakamulichisya Malajisyo chatame kwa litala lya Malajisyo go.”
For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.
6 Nambo nkati ngani ja kuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi, ikuŵechetekwa yele: “Kasinliusya mu ntima mwenu kuti, ana ŵaani ŵachakwele kwinani kuti annyichisye Kilisito paasi kukwetu?”
But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;
7 Atamuno kasinliusya kuti, “Ŵaani juchatuluche mu lisimbo lyangali mbesi kuti annyichisye Kilisito pachanya?” (Abyssos g12)
or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead. (Abyssos g12)
8 Nambo Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti yeleyi: “Liloŵe lya Akunnungu liŵandikene nomwe, lili mu kang'wa jenu ni mu ntima wenu.” Liloŵe lyo lili utenga wa chikulupi chachitukwalalichila ŵandu.
But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
9 Mwajitichisyaga ni kuŵecheta kwa kang'wa jenu kuti Che Yesu ali Ambuje ni kukulupilila mu ntima mwenu kuti Akunnungu ŵasyusisye mu ŵawe, chinchikulupuswa.
that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 Pakuŵa kwa ntima mundu akukulupilila ni kuŵalanjikwa kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, sooni kwa kang'wa jakwe pakwitichisya ni kuŵecheta, akukulupuswa.
For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.
11 Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwalijose jwakunkulupilila jwelejo ngajakola soni.”
For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.
12 Chindu chi chili kwa ŵandu wose, nganikupagwa kulekangana pasikati ja Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, pakuŵa Akunnungu ali Ambuje ŵa ŵandu wose, ni sooni ali ŵambone kwa ŵandu ŵakwapopela.
For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.
13 Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwalijose juchaŵilanje kwa liina lya Ambuje chakulupuswe.”
For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
14 Nipele, ana champopele chinauli jwelejo jwanganankulupilila? Ana chankulupilile uli iŵaga nganapilikana utenga wakwe? Sooni chapilikanile chinauli utenga wakwe pangali ŵandu ŵakwalalichila?
How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without one who preaches?
15 Ana chalalichile chinauli Ngani Jambone pangaalajisya? Mpela Malembelo gamaswela yagakuti pakusala, “Nlole yaikuti kusengwasya kwika kwa aŵala ŵakulalichila Ngani Jambone!”
and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!
16 Nambo ngaŵa ŵandu wose ŵaŵakulupilile Ngani Jambone. Pakuŵa che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu ŵatite, “Ambuje, ana nduni jwaukulupilile utenga wetu?”
But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?
17 Kwayele, chikulupi chikuika kwa kupilikana utenga, ni utenga wo ukwika kwa kulalichilwa Liloŵe lya Kilisito.
So faith then [is] by a report, but the report by God's word.
18 Nambo nguusya, ana nganaupilikana utenga wo? Elo, kupilikana ŵapilikene! Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti, “Liloŵe lyao lyapikaniche mu chilambo mose ni maloŵe gao gaichile mpaka kumbesi kwa chilambo chose.”
But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.
19 Nguusya sooni, ana Ŵaisilaeli nganaimanyilila? Akunnungu ŵatandite kuŵecheta kwa litala li che Musa, “Chinantende nkole wiu kwa litala lya ŵandu ŵangaŵa chilambo, chinantesye ntumbile kwa litala lya ŵandu ŵakuloŵela.”
But I say, Has not Israel known? First, Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy through [them that are] not a nation: through a nation without understanding I will anger you.
20 Che Isaya jwakulondola ŵaŵechete pangali woga maloŵe ga, Akunnungu ŵatite, “Mbatikene kwa ŵandu ŵanganasosasosa une, naliunukwile kwa ŵandu ŵanganausya nkati ngani jangu.”
But Esaias is very bold, and says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become manifest to those not inquiring after me.
21 Nambo nkati Ŵaisilaeli, che Isaya akutusalila kuti, “Akunnungu ŵatite yeleyi, ‘Lyuŵa tetete najongwele makono gangu kwa ŵandu kwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵangakunyitichisya ni ŵamakani.’”
But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
