Ŵaloma 9
1 Nguŵecheta isyene kuti une ndili jwa Kilisito, ngangusala unami. Nningwa wangu ukuumalanjila umboni kwakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, isyene ngangulambusya.
I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
2 Ngusupuka kwannope ni ndili ni ipwetesi yangamala mu ntima mwangu,
That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
3 pakuŵa ngakombwele kupopelela nweseche ni kulekanganywa ni Kilisito kwa ligongo lya achinjangu Ŵaisilaeli, ŵaali lukosyo lumo ni une kwa chiilu.
For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
4 Ŵelewo ali Ŵaisilaeli ŵaŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu aŵe ŵanache ŵao ŵaŵalosisye ukulu wao. Ŵalangene nawo ni kwapa Malajisyo, ŵaalosisye yakuti pakwapopelela ni kwapa ilanga yakwe.
Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.
5 Ŵanyawo ali isukulu ya achambuje ŵetu, ni kutyochela mu uŵelesi wao, Kilisito ŵapagwile kwa chiilu. Ŵelewo ali Akunnungu ŵakutawala yose, alapikwe moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (aiōn g165)
Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Nganguŵecheta kuti chilanga cha Akunnungu nganichimalila. Pakuŵa nganaŵa Ŵaisilaeli wose ŵaali ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.
Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Atamuno nganaŵa uŵelesi wose u che Iblahimu ŵaali ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, nambo Akunnungu ŵapele chilanga che Iblahimu achitiji, “Uŵelesi wenu chiutyochele ni che Isaka.”
Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
8 Malumbo gakwe gali, ngaŵa ŵanache ŵaŵapagwile kwa chiilu ni ŵaali ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, nambo aŵala ŵanache ŵaŵapagwile kwa chilanga cha Akunnungu ni ŵachaŵilanjikwe uŵelesi u che Iblahimu.
That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede.
9 Pakuŵa chilanga chiŵachilanjile Akunnungu ni chelechi, “Katema kakasagulikwe chingaiche, ni che Sala chaligopole mwanache jwannume.”
For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
10 Ni ngaŵa yeleyo pe, nambo che Lebeka ŵakwete ŵanache ŵaŵili ŵachilume ŵaŵaŵelekwe ni atati ŵamo, ŵaali che Isaka ambuje ŵetu.
Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
11 Pakuŵa akanapagwe maŵila, namose akanatende indu yambone pane yangalumbana, pakuti nningwa wa Akunnungu wa kusagula uwoneche.
For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth)
12 Akunnungu ŵansalile che Lebeka, “Jwankulungwa chachintumichila mpwakwe.” Lusagu lwa Akunnungu lukutendekwa malinga ni uŵilanje wakwe ni ngaŵa kwa ipanganyo ya ŵandu.
It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.
13 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Naanonyele a Yakobo nambo a Esau naachimile.”
As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.
14 Nipele, ana tujileje uli? Ana Akunnungu ngakulamula yaikuti pakusachilwa? Namuno kanandi!
What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
15 Pakuŵa ŵaasalile che Musa, “Chinjintendela wema jungunsaka kuntendela wema, ni chinjimpililila ajula jungunsaka kumpililila.”
For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion.
16 Nipele, yele yose ikukulupilila chanasa cha Akunnungu ni ngaŵa kwa kuchalila kwa mundu atamuno kwa usache wa mundu.
So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.
17 Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti yeleyi kwa mwenye jwa ku Misili, “Nanjimiche mme mwenye melepe, kwa litala lya mmwejo nosye machili gangu ni kuti liina lyangu limanyiche pachilambo pose.”
For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth.
18 Kwayele, Akunnungu akunkolela chanasa ajula jwakunsaka nsyene, nombe jwakusaka aŵe jwa kulimba ntima, akunlimbisya.
Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
19 Pane chimuusye, “Iŵaga ili yele, ana ligongo lyachi Akunnungu akuti ŵandu aleŵile? Pakuŵa ŵaani ŵakukombola kukanilana ni aila yakuisaka Akunnungu?”
Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will?
20 Nambo mmwe mundu, ana mmwe nduni junkwajanga Akunnungu? Ana chiŵiga chikukombola kummusya juŵachigumbile, “Kwachichi mung'umbile yeleyi?”
But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Jwakugumba akukombola kugumba iŵiga iŵili kwa lilongo limo yakuti pakusaka, chiŵiga chimo kwa ligongo lya masengo gakuchimbichikwa ni chine kwa ligongo lya masengo gangachimbichikwa.
Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour?
22 Yeleyo ni iyaliji kwa Akunnungu. Ŵasachile kulosya lutumbilo lwao ni kugamanyisya machili gao. Nambo ŵaapililile nnope aŵala ŵandu ŵaŵaŵajilwe kulamulikwa ni lutumbilo lwao, ŵelewo ni ŵaakuŵajilwa konangwa.
What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction?
23 Sooni ŵasachile aumanyisye winji wa ukulu wao uŵapele aŵala ŵaŵaŵajilwe kupochela chanasa chao, aŵala ŵaŵaŵichikwe chile kalakala apochele ukulu wakwe.
And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?
24 Uweji ni ŵatuŵilanjikwe ni jwelejo, ngaŵa kutyochela kwa Ŵayahudi pe nambo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nombe nawo.
Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,
25 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala mu chitabu chi che Hosea jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu, “Aŵala ŵangaŵa ŵandu ŵangu, chinaŵilanje, ‘Ŵandu ŵangu.’ Ni aŵala ŵangangwanonyela, ‘Chinanonyele.’
As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued.
26 Ni pamalo paŵaŵilanjikwe, ‘Ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵandu ŵangu,’ chaŵilanjikwe ‘Ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ŵajumi.’”
And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God.
27 Nombe che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu akwakalipila Ŵaisilaeli kuti, “Namose winji wa uŵelesi wa Ŵaisilaeli uli mpela nsanga wa kumbwani, nambo nganatupa ŵachachikulupuswa.
Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued.
28 Pakuŵa, Ambuje ngaakaŵa kwalamula ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa.”
For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
29 Mpela che Isaya iŵalongolele kusala, “Ambuje ŵa ukombole ngakatulechele uŵelesi wa Ŵaisilaeli, wose tukaawile mpela ŵandu ŵa ku Sodoma, tukalandene ni ŵandu ŵa ku Gomola.”
And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha.
30 Nipele, ana tujileje uli? Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵanganatenda chindu chachili chose kuti aloleche ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵaloleche ali ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.
31 Nambo Ŵaisilaeli ŵasosile malajisyo gakatesile aloleche ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya malajisyo, nganalolecheka ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.
32 Ligongo lyachi nganalolecheka ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu? Pakuŵa ŵasosile kutendekwa ŵambone kwa ipanganyo yao, ngaŵa kwa litala lya chikulupi. Ŵalikuŵele pa “Liganga lya kulikuŵalila.”
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone,
33 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Nnole chimiche liganga ku Sayuni, lichilyatende ŵandu agwanje, misile lwala luchilwagwisye ŵandu. Nambo juchankulupilile jwelejo, jwelejo ngajaluswa kose.”
As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
