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.
Then I say, Did God cast away his people? it could not be so. For I am indeed an Israelite, of 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 cast away his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says in Elijah, how he makes intercession to God against Israel?
3 Ŵatite, “Ambuje, ŵauleje ŵakulondola ŵenu ni kugumula ilisa yenu, noneji sigalile jika. Ni ŵanyawo akuusosa amulaje.”
Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars: and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life.
4 Nambo Akunnungu ŵanjanjile uli? Ŵansalile, “Nalisigachisye ŵandu elufu saba ŵaŵakanile kuntindiŵalila Baali nnungu jwa unami.”
But what says the answer to him? I have left unto myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
5 Ni iyoyo peyo katema ka sambano kano, apali ŵandu kanandi ŵasigalile ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu ligongo lya umbone wao.
Thus then there is even at this time a remnant left according to the election 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 by grace, it is not at all by works: since in that case grace is no more grace.
7 Nipele, itite uli? Chindu chiŵachisosaga Ŵaisilaeli nganachisimana, nambo aŵala ŵaŵasagulikwe ŵachisimene, ni ŵane ŵaŵasigalile wo Akunnungu ŵatesile aŵe ŵakukakatima ntima.
What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election 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.”
as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day.
9 Ni che Daudi akuti, “Chindimba chao chiŵe chitanje chakwatanjisya, agwanje ni kulagaswa.
And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
10 Meeso gao gatajikwe chipi kuti akalola ni migongo jao jipindiche moŵa gose.”
and let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and 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.
Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came 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?
But if the fall of them was the riches of the world, and the depletion of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 Sambano, nguŵecheta ni mwanya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Pakuŵa uneji ndili nduna kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ngulilapila masengo gangu.
But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry:
14 Pane chingombole kwatenda Ŵayahudi akole wiu kuti ngombole kwakulupusya ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo.
if perchance I may provoke my flesh, and 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 was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be, but 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.
But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was 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 certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a 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.
boast not against the branches: but if you boast, you are not bearing the root, but the root you.
19 Panepa chinjile, “Nyambi syakatikwe melepe kuti une ngapandichikwe pachanya pakwe.”
Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in.
20 Mwambone! Syakatikwe kwaligongo lya ungakulupilila wao ni mmwejo ntemi pamalo pao kwaligongo lya kukulupilila. Sambano nkalifuna nambo njogope.
Beautifully; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith, Think not high things, but fear.
21 Pakuŵa iŵaga Akunnungu nganiŵalechelela Ŵayahudi ŵakulandana ni nyambi sisyene, ana Akunnungu channechelele mmwe?
For if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
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.
Then behold the goodness and severity of God: upon those who fell indeed, severity; but upon you the goodness of God, if you may abide in his goodness: since you too may be cut off.
23 Ni Ŵayahudi nombe nawo alekaga ungakulupilila wao chapandichikwe peuto paŵaliji kundanda, pakuŵa Akunnungu akupakombola kwapandichisya sooni.
But these also, if they may not abide in unbelief, shall 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 you, having been cut off the olive tree which is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall these, who are the natural branches, 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.
I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to this mystery, in order that you may not he wise with yourselves, that blindness in part has happened unto Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles may 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 shall be saved: as has been written, A leader shall come out of Zion, shall turn ungodliness from Jacob.
27 Lyeleli lili lilangano lyangu lichindende ni ŵelewo katema pachinaalechelesye sambi syao.”
And this is the covenant with me unto them, that I may 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 enemies indeed, as touching the gospel, for your sakes: but beloved with reference to election for the sake of the fathers:
29 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakugalausya nganisyo syao kwa aŵala ŵaŵasagwile ni kwapa upile.
for the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 Kalakala ko ŵanyamwe nganimwajitichisya Akunnungu nambo sambano ankolele chanasa ŵanyamwe ligongo lya ungapilikanichisya wa Ŵayahudi.
For as you at one time were disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy through their disobedience,
31 Iyoyo peyo mpela ŵanyamwe yantite pakukolelwa chanasa, Ŵayahudi nombewo ngakwajitichisya Akunnungu melepe kuti nombewo akolelwe chanasa.
even also these were now disobedient, in order that through the mercy shown to you they themselves may now also obtain mercy.
32 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaatesile ŵandu wose aŵe ŵangajitichisya kuti ŵakolele chanasa ŵanawose. (eleēsē g1653)
For God has shut up all in unbelief, in order that he may have mercy on 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 the riches of the wisdom of the knowledge of God! His judgments are unsearchable, and his ways past tracing 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? who became his counsellor?
35 Ana ŵaani ŵalongolele kwapa Akunnungu chindu kuti ni ŵelewo ŵauchisye?”
or who has given unto him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
