Ŵaloma 11
1 Nipele, nguusya, ana Akunnungu ŵakanile ŵandu ŵakwe? Ngwamba! Uneji nansyene ndili Mwisilaeli jwa uŵelesi u che Iblahimu ni jwa lukosyo lu che Benyamini.
I say therefore, did God thrust away his people? May it not happen! For I also am an Israelite from the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Akunnungu nganiŵakana ŵandu ŵakwe ŵaŵasagwile chitandile kundanda. Nkukumbuchila yagakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu nkati che Elia, katema paŵalalatile Ŵaisilaeli paujo pa Akunnungu?
God did not thrust away his people whom he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture tells by Elijah? How he encounters God about Israel.
3 Ŵatite, “Ambuje, ŵauleje ŵakulondola ŵenu ni kugumula ilisa yenu, noneji sigalile jika. Ni ŵanyawo akuusosa amulaje.”
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and they have torn down thine altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 Nambo Akunnungu ŵanjanjile uli? Ŵansalile, “Nalisigachisye ŵandu elufu saba ŵaŵakanile kuntindiŵalila Baali nnungu jwa unami.”
But what does the divine response say to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed a knee to Baal.
5 Ni iyoyo peyo katema ka sambano kano, apali ŵandu kanandi ŵasigalile ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu ligongo lya umbone wao.
So then also at this present time there has become a remnant according to the selection of grace.
6 Lusagu lwa Akunnungu lukukulupilila umbone wakwe, ni ngiiŵa kwa ipanganyo ya ŵandu, iŵaga Akunnungu akwasagula ŵandu kwa litala lya ipanganyo yao, nipele umbone wakwe ngaukaŵe umbone wa usyene.
And if it is by grace, it is no longer from works, otherwise grace becomes no longer grace. But if it is from works it is no longer grace, otherwise work is no longer work.
7 Nipele, itite uli? Chindu chiŵachisosaga Ŵaisilaeli nganachisimana, nambo aŵala ŵaŵasagulikwe ŵachisimene, ni ŵane ŵaŵasigalile wo Akunnungu ŵatesile aŵe ŵakukakatima ntima.
What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain. But the chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened,
8 Mpela yaitite kulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Akunnungu ŵaapele lunda lwangamanyilila, ŵaapele meeso nambo ngakulola ni ŵaapele mawiwi nambo ngakupilikana mpaka lelo jino.”
just as it is written that God gave them a spirit of slumber: eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, until this very day.
9 Ni che Daudi akuti, “Chindimba chao chiŵe chitanje chakwatanjisya, agwanje ni kulagaswa.
And David says, Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them.
10 Meeso gao gatajikwe chipi kuti akalola ni migongo jao jipindiche moŵa gose.”
Let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and may thou bow down their back always.
11 Nipele, nguusya sooni, ana Ŵayahudi alikuŵele kwichila kugwa kusyene? Ngwamba! Nambo kwa chileŵo cha Ŵayahudi, ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi waichilile ukulupusyo, kuti Ŵayahudi ŵakolele wiu.
I say then, did they stumble so that they would fall? May it not happen! But in their transgression, salvation is to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Kuleŵa kwa Ŵayahudi kuichisye upile weujinji pachilambo, ni kupunguchilwa kwao kwa chikulupi kuichisye upile weujinji kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Ana ngakukuichisya upile wakupunda nnope katema Ŵayahudi wose pachiŵaujilile Akunnungu?
Now if their transgression is wealth of the world, and their failure is wealth of Gentiles, how much more their fullness?
13 Sambano, nguŵecheta ni mwanya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Pakuŵa uneji ndili nduna kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ngulilapila masengo gangu.
For I speak to you the Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of Gentiles, I enhance my ministry,
14 Pane chingombole kwatenda Ŵayahudi akole wiu kuti ngombole kwakulupusya ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo.
if somehow I may provoke my flesh to jealousy and may save some of them.
15 Pakuŵa iŵaga kukanikwa kwao ni Akunnungu kuichisye kwilana pasikati ja Akunnungu ni ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo, isyene pachakundikwe ni Akunnungu chikuŵe mpela kuichisya umi kwa ŵandu ŵawile.
For if the casting away of them is reconciliation of the world, what is the acceptance except life from the dead?
16 Naga chipande chandanda cha nkate chityochekwe ligongo lya Akunnungu, nkate chiuŵe wakwe iyoyo peyo, ni nchiga watyochekwaga ligongo lya Akunnungu, nipele nyambi syakwe chisiŵe syakwe iyoyo peyo.
And if the first fruit is holy, the branch is also. And if the root is holy, the branches are also.
17 Nyambi simpepe sya mseituni wepande syekate ni lujambi lwa mseituni wa mwitinji upandichikwe pachanya chitela cha mseituni wepande. Ŵanyamwe ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nkulandana ni mseituni wa mwitinji, sambano nkupoka umi wa chimbumu wa Ŵayahudi.
And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive tree,
18 Kwayele kasimwajalusya aŵala ŵakatikwe mpela nyambi. Ŵanyamwe nganinkola chakulifunila, pakuwa nganimma ŵanyamwe ŵankujikamulila michiga, nambo michiga jo ni jajikunkamulila ŵanyamwe.
do not boast against the branches. But if thou boast, thou do not bear the root, but the root thee.
19 Panepa chinjile, “Nyambi syakatikwe melepe kuti une ngapandichikwe pachanya pakwe.”
Thou will therefore say, Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.
20 Mwambone! Syakatikwe kwaligongo lya ungakulupilila wao ni mmwejo ntemi pamalo pao kwaligongo lya kukulupilila. Sambano nkalifuna nambo njogope.
Correct! They were broken off for their unbelief, and thou stand by thy faith. Be not high-minded but fear,
21 Pakuŵa iŵaga Akunnungu nganiŵalechelela Ŵayahudi ŵakulandana ni nyambi sisyene, ana Akunnungu channechelele mmwe?
for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps neither will he spare thee.
22 Nipele, nganichisye yankati umbone wa Akunnungu ni chikali chao nombe nacho. Ŵelewo ali ŵachikali kwa aŵala ŵagwile nambo ŵelewo ali ŵambone kwa aŵala ŵakutama mu umbone wao. Naga ngaŵa yele, nomwe ŵakwe tachintyosya.
Behold therefore the goodness and the severity of God. Indeed toward those who fell, severity, but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness, otherwise thou too will be cut off.
23 Ni Ŵayahudi nombe nawo alekaga ungakulupilila wao chapandichikwe peuto paŵaliji kundanda, pakuŵa Akunnungu akupakombola kwapandichisya sooni.
And also those, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nkulandana ni lujambi lwa mseituni wa mwitinji lwekate ni kupandichikwa pa mseituni waupandikwe. Nambo chelechi nganichiŵa chindu chachipago. Ŵayahudi akulandana ni mseituni wepande ni chiiŵe yangasakalisya kwa Akunnungu kupandichisya sooni nyambi sisyakatikwe pa chitela chao cha chipago.
For if thou were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree.
25 Achalongo achinjangu ngusaka mmanyilile usyene wausisiche, nambo ngusaka mmanyilile kuti nkalilapa nkwete lunda nnope. Makani ga Ŵaisilaeli galiji ga katema pe mpaka ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi wose ŵakusachilwa pachiŵaujilile Akunnungu.
For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise according to yourselves, that a callousness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles come in.
26 Pelepo Ŵaisilaeli wose chakulupuswe mpela yaitite pakulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Mu Sayuni chachityochela nkulupusyo chachichityosya chigongomalo pasikati ja uŵelesi u che Yakobo.
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob.
27 Lyeleli lili lilangano lyangu lichindende ni ŵelewo katema pachinaalechelesye sambi syao.”
And this is the covenant from me to them when I will take away their sins.
28 Pakuŵa akujikana Ngani Jambone, Ŵayahudi aŵele ŵammagongo ŵa Akunnungu nambo kwa kupoka kwenu ŵanyamwe ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Nambo pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaasagwile, chiŵela Akunnungu akwanonyela kwa ligongo lya achambuje ŵao.
They are indeed enemies toward the good news for your sake, but toward selection, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
29 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakugalausya nganisyo syao kwa aŵala ŵaŵasagwile ni kwapa upile.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30 Kalakala ko ŵanyamwe nganimwajitichisya Akunnungu nambo sambano ankolele chanasa ŵanyamwe ligongo lya ungapilikanichisya wa Ŵayahudi.
For as ye once were also disobedient to God, but now have received mercy at the disobedience of these,
31 Iyoyo peyo mpela ŵanyamwe yantite pakukolelwa chanasa, Ŵayahudi nombewo ngakwajitichisya Akunnungu melepe kuti nombewo akolelwe chanasa.
so also now these have been disobedient for thy mercy, so that they also may receive mercy.
32 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaatesile ŵandu wose aŵe ŵangajitichisya kuti ŵakolele chanasa ŵanawose. (eleēsē g1653)
For God has confined all men in disobedience, so that he might be merciful to all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Ipanje ya Akunnungu ni lunda ni umanyilisi wao ili yekulungwa kupunda! Ngapagwa jwakupakombola kusosasosa ulamusi wao natamuno kugamanyilila matala gao.
O the depth of wealth, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways beyond finding out!
34 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Ana ŵaani ŵakusimanyilila ng'anisyo sya Ambuje? Ana ŵaani uchiŵasalile chakupanganya?
For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who became his counselor?
35 Ana ŵaani ŵalongolele kwapa Akunnungu chindu kuti ni ŵelewo ŵauchisye?”
Or who first gave to him, and it will be repaid to him?
