Ŵaloma 10
1 Achalongo achinjangu, chingulajila kwannope mu ntima mwangu, ni ngwapopelela Akunnungu kwaligongo lya Ŵaisilaeli, kuti akulupuswe.
BRETHREN, the kind wish of my heart indeed, and the prayer which I offer to God for Israel, is for their salvation.
2 Pakuŵa isyene ngunsalila umboni kuti akuchalila kwatumichila Akunnungu, nambo ngaŵa mu umanyilisi wambone.
For I am a witness for them, that they have a 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 being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and seeking to establish a righteousness of their own, 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 for righteousness to every one that believeth.
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 describeth the righteousness which is by the law, “That the man who doeth these 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 that is by faith speaketh thus, “Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend 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 Christ up again 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 saith 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 thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from 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 faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation.
11 Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwalijose jwakunkulupilila jwelejo ngajakola soni.”
For the scripture saith, “Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded.”
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 either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him.
13 Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mundu jwalijose juchaŵilanje kwa liina lya Ambuje chakulupuswe.”
“For every one shall be saved, whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord.”
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? but 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 shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those who preach the 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 gospel. For Isaiah saith, “Lord, who hath believed our report?”
17 Kwayele, chikulupi chikuika kwa kupilikana utenga, ni utenga wo ukwika kwa kulalichilwa Liloŵe lya Kilisito.
Faith then cometh by report, but the report by the word of God.
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 verily, “the sound of their voice is gone forth 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, Did not Israel know? Moses first saith, “I will excite your jealousy by what is no nation, and by an ignorant people will I provoke you to wrath.”
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 very bold, and saith, “I have been found by those who sought me not; I have become manifest to those who inquired not 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 saith, “All the day long have I stretched out my hands unto a people disobedient and contradicting.”
