Romans 11
1 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.
Lino ndepushungeti, “Sena Lesa walataya bantu bakendi?” Sobwe, nkacela kwinshika pakwinga ne njame nde mu Islayeli, umo wa bashikulu ba Abulahamu, kayi wamukowa wa Benjamini.
2 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.
Lesa nkalabakana bantu bakendi abo mbwalasala kaindi. Mucinsheti mu Mabala muli maswi ayo mushinshimi Eliya ngalikudandaulila Lesa eti ababoneshe bukalu bwakendi Baislayeli? Pakwinga walambeti,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and they have torn down thine altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
“Mwami, bantu aba balashina bashinshimi benu ne kuwisha nteme shenu. Ndashala ndenka, lino nenjame balandanga kunshina”
4 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.
Lino Lesa walamukumbula aconi? Walambeti, “Ndalibikila bantu bakwana myanda makumi asanu ne abili abo batana bapaililapo Baala, lesa wabundengamano usa.”
5 So then also at this present time there has become a remnant according to the selection of grace.
Lino encocibele ne cino cindi. Kulashala Baislayeli bang'ana abo Lesa mbwalasala mu kwina moyo kwakendi.
6 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.
Neco, na walabasala mu kwina moyo kwakendi, lino nte pacebo ca bintu mbyobalensa. Necalaba mushobo uyo kwina moyo kwakendi ne kwalabula kuba kwinamoyo kwancinencine sobwe.
7 What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain. But the chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened,
Aconi lino? Baislayeli nkabalacanapo mbyobalikuyanda. Nsombi bantu bang'anowa abo Lesa mbwalasala ebalabicana. Bashala bonse balashinka matwi ku maswi a Lesa,
8 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.
Mbuli Mabala ncakute kwambeti, “Lesa walabapa moyo wakuta nyumfwishisha bintu, nomba kushikila lino nkabakute kubona nambi kunyumfwa.”
9 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.
Lino Dafeti ukute kwambeti, “malyalya abo abe kose ne liliba lyabo, kayi bawe panshi ne kupewa cisubulo.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and may thou bow down their back always.
Menso abo apofole kwambeti bacileke kubona, kayi misana yabo ikonkomane cindi conse mu mapensho abo.”
11 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.
Ndepushunga, “Sena Bayuda balalisuntula ne kuwila limo kwakubula kayi kupunduka?” Sobwe. Nsombi pacebo ca bwipishi bwabo lupulusho lwalashika kuli bantu ba mishobo naimbi, kwambeti Bayuda babenshile minyono.
12 Now if their transgression is wealth of the world, and their failure is wealth of Gentiles, how much more their fullness?
Na bwipishi bwa Bayuda bwalaleta bwinishi bwingi ku bantu pacishi capanshi conse, neco kayi na kwalilwa kwabo kwalaleta bwinishi bwingi ku bantu ba mishobo naimbi. Nomba nikukabeconi Bayuda bonse beti bakapuluke bakasankana pamo ne bashoma bashobo naimbi, ekwambeti colwe nicikakonempe nditu.
13 For I speak to you the Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of Gentiles, I enhance my ministry,
Lino ndambilinga njamwe mobakunsa. Pacebo cakwambeti ndalatumwa ku bantu bamishobo naimbi, neco, nkute kutwanga pancito iyi.
14 if somehow I may provoke my flesh to jealousy and may save some of them.
Kayi nkute kuyandeti ndibapeshe bufuba bantu bamushobo wakame, ne kupulushapo nabambi pali endibo.
15 For if the casting away of them is reconciliation of the world, what is the acceptance except life from the dead?
Nomba na bantu bapacishi conse capanshi bakabweshiwa kayi mu bwanse ne Lesa pacebo ca kubabika pambali Bayuda, nomba nicikabe aconi nendi akabatambula kayi? Nibakabeti bantu bafwa balapunduku kubafu.
16 And if the first fruit is holy, the branch is also. And if the root is holy, the branches are also.
Na muntu upa Lesa cimpansha ca shinkwa cakutanguna, ekwambeti shinkwa wonse niwa Lesa. Kayi na muntu upa Lesa muyanda wa citondo ekwambeti ne misampi yonse niya Lesa.
17 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,
Amwe bantu bakunsa njamwe mulyeti misampi yacitondo cama olivi camucisuwa, mwanungwako ku citondo cabyalwa camaolivi. Nomba lino mulamanta musena wa misampi isa yalatimbulwako. Pacebo ici, mulatambulungonga ngofu sha mumiyanda ya citondo cakubyala ca maolifi, okwambeti cilyeti Bayuda.
18 do not boast against the branches. But if thou boast, thou do not bear the root, but the root thee.
Weco mutabanyanshanga sobwe abo balakwempulwako mbuli misampi isa. Nomba ngamulitukumuna aconi? Amwe njamwe kamusampi owa. Ntamwe mwekata miyanda sobwe, nsombi miyanda endiyo yamwikatilila.
19 Thou will therefore say, Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.
Nomba amwe ngamwambeti, “Cakubinga misampi isa yalakwempulwa kwambeti banjikatanishepo ame.”
20 Correct! They were broken off for their unbelief, and thou stand by thy faith. Be not high-minded but fear,
Cakubinga, nabo balakwempulwako pakwinga nkabalashoma, nomba amwe cebo cakushoma, lino nimwikale pabusena ubo, nsombi kamutatwangilapo, lino kamubani ne buyowa.
21 for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps neither will he spare thee.
Lesa nkalabalekowa Bayuda abo balyeti misampi ya citondo yancinencine. Sena lino mulayeyengeti nakamuleke amwe?
22 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.
Kamwinshibani kwambeti Lesa ni wankumbo, nsombi kayi nimukalu. Ku bantu abo balawa wakalala, nsombi kulinjamwe ukute inkumbo, na mupitilisha kwinsa bintu byela kuleta nkumbo shakendi. Namubula kwinseco nenjamwe nakamukwempule.
23 And also those, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Nomba na abo Bayuda basanduka nekutatika kushoma Klistu, nakabanungeko kucitondo. Pakwinga Lesa ukute ngofu shakubanungako kayi.
24 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.
Nomba amwe bantu ba mishobo naimbi mulyeti misampi ya citondo ca ma olivi camucisuwa, Lesa walamukwempula kucitondo calamusema, nekumununga kucitondo ca ma olivi cakubyala. Lino na cilico, sena lino ngawalilwa kunungako ku citondo cama olivi cakubyala misampi iyo yalakwempulwa? Bayuda balyeti citondo ca maolifi cakubyala, neco capuba kwambeti Lesa ainungeko misampiyo kayi.
25 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.
Nomba lino mobanse bame, pali casolekwa ncondayandangeti mucinshibe, kutineti ngamulibona kuba bamano, nicakwambeti kuyuma myoyo kwa Baislayeli nteti kukapitilile nsombi nikukapwe mpaka cindi cibelengelo ca bakunsa beti bakenshibe Lesa cikakwane.
26 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.
Popelapo bonse Baislayeli nibakapuluke. Mbuli mabala ncalambangeti, “Mupulushi nakafumine ku Siyoni, nakafunye bwipishi bonse bwa bashikulu bendi Yakobo bonse.
27 And this is the covenant from me to them when I will take away their sins.
Ninkapangane nabo cipangano copeleci ndakabafunyinapo bwipishi bwabo.”
28 They are indeed enemies toward the good news for your sake, but toward selection, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
Pacebo cakukana Mulumbe Waina, Bayuda balaba balwani ba Lesa, kwambeti amwe bantu bamishobo naimbi mucaninepo bwinishi. Nsombi na Lesa walabasala, nabo nibansebendi basunika pacebo ca bamashali babo bakaindi.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Pakwinga Lesa nkakute kushinta mano na lakuwu muntu ne kumupa colwe.
30 For as ye once were also disobedient to God, but now have received mercy at the disobedience of these,
Kaindi amwe bamishobo naimbi nkamwali kumunyumfwila Lesa, nsombi lino Lesa lamwinshilinga inkumbo pacebo ca kutanyumfwa kwa Bayuda.
31 so also now these have been disobedient for thy mercy, so that they also may receive mercy.
Weco naboyo Bayuda nkabalanyumfwilinga Lesa pacino cindi, nsombi nipacebo cakwambeti naboyo bakatambule nkumbo sha Lesa pacindi cayandika, nkumbo nshomulatambulu.
32 For God has confined all men in disobedience, so that he might be merciful to all. (eleēsē g1653)
Pakwinga Lesa walasandula bantu bonse kuba basha cebo ca kutanyumfwa, kwambeti nendi abanyumfwile nkumbo bonse. (eleēsē g1653)
33 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!
Buboni bwa lesa nibunene cikamba. Mano akendi nkakumu ne lwishibo lwakendi nkalwishibiki. Nomba niyani welela kunyumfwishisha kombolosha kwakendi? Kayi niyani welela kwishiba nshila shakendi?
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who became his counselor?
Mbuli Mabala ncakute kwambeti, “Niyani welela kwinshiba miyeyo ya Lesa, niyani welela kumupa mano?”
35 Or who first gave to him, and it will be repaid to him?
“Nomba niyani walamupapo kantu Lesa kwambeti nendi amubweshele kantu ako?”
