Ŵaloma 10
1 Achalongo achinjangu, chingulajila kwannope mu ntima mwangu, ni ngwapopelela Akunnungu kwaligongo lya Ŵaisilaeli, kuti akulupuswe.
Brethren, indeed the desire of my heart and my prayer to God in their behalf, is for their salvation.
2 Pakuŵa isyene ngunsalila umboni kuti akuchalila kwatumichila Akunnungu, nambo ngaŵa mu umanyilisi wambone.
For I testify to them, that they have a zeal of God, but not according to perfect 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 being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they 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 the law unto righteousness to every one who 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 describes the righteousness which is of the law, that the man having done this shall live in it.
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, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend up into heaven? 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 him up from 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 nigh 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 you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall 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 it is believed unto righteousness; and with the mouth it is confessed unto salvation.
11 Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwalijose jwakunkulupilila jwelejo ngajakola soni.”
For the scripture says, Every one believing on him shall not 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 between Jew and Greek: for the same is Lord of all, rich unto all that call on him.
13 Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwalijose juchaŵilanje kwa liina lya Ambuje chakulupuswe.”
For every one who may 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?
Then how can they call on him on whom they have not believed? and how can they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 Ana chalalichile chinauli Ngani Jambone pangaalajisya? Mpela Malembelo gamaswela yagakuti pakusala, “Nlole yaikuti kusengwasya kwika kwa aŵala ŵakulalichila Ngani Jambone!”
And how can they preach, unless they may be sent forth? as has been written, How beautiful are the feet of those, who preach the gospel 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 heard the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?
17 Kwayele, chikulupi chikuika kwa kupilikana utenga, ni utenga wo ukwika kwa kulalichilwa Liloŵe lya Kilisito.
Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
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 all heard? Yea, truly, Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the 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, Whether does not Israel know? Moses first says, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, and with a nation void of 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 Isaiah is bold, and says, I was found by those not seeking after me; and made 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 to Israel he says, All day long have I reached forth my hands to a gainsaying and disobedient people.
