Romans 11
1 I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For I also am an Israelite, of [the] seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.
Nipele, nguusya, ana Akunnungu ŵakanile ŵandu ŵakwe? Ngwamba! Uneji nansyene ndili Mwisilaeli jwa uŵelesi u che Iblahimu ni jwa lukosyo lu che Benyamini.
2 God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in [the history of] Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?
Akunnungu nganiŵakana ŵandu ŵakwe ŵaŵasagwile chitandile kundanda. Nkukumbuchila yagakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu nkati che Elia, katema paŵalalatile Ŵaisilaeli paujo pa Akunnungu?
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I have been left alone, and they seek my life.
Ŵatite, “Ambuje, ŵauleje ŵakulondola ŵenu ni kugumula ilisa yenu, noneji sigalile jika. Ni ŵanyawo akuusosa amulaje.”
4 But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.
Nambo Akunnungu ŵanjanjile uli? Ŵansalile, “Nalisigachisye ŵandu elufu saba ŵaŵakanile kuntindiŵalila Baali nnungu jwa unami.”
5 Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.
Ni iyoyo peyo katema ka sambano kano, apali ŵandu kanandi ŵasigalile ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu ligongo lya umbone wao.
6 But if by grace, no longer of works: since [otherwise] grace is no more grace.
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.
7 What [is it] then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,
Nipele, itite uli? Chindu chiŵachisosaga Ŵaisilaeli nganachisimana, nambo aŵala ŵaŵasagulikwe ŵachisimene, ni ŵane ŵaŵasigalile wo Akunnungu ŵatesile aŵe ŵakukakatima ntima.
8 according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.
Mpela yaitite kulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Akunnungu ŵaapele lunda lwangamanyilila, ŵaapele meeso nambo ngakulola ni ŵaapele mawiwi nambo ngakupilikana mpaka lelo jino.”
9 And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for a gin, and for a fall-trap, and for a recompense to them:
Ni che Daudi akuti, “Chindimba chao chiŵe chitanje chakwatanjisya, agwanje ni kulagaswa.
10 let their eyes be darkened not to see, and bow down their back alway.
Meeso gao gatajikwe chipi kuti akalola ni migongo jao jipindiche moŵa gose.”
11 I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall [there is] salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.
Nipele, nguusya sooni, ana Ŵayahudi alikuŵele kwichila kugwa kusyene? Ngwamba! Nambo kwa chileŵo cha Ŵayahudi, ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi waichilile ukulupusyo, kuti Ŵayahudi ŵakolele wiu.
12 But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather their fulness?
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?
13 For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as I am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;
Sambano, nguŵecheta ni mwanya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Pakuŵa uneji ndili nduna kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ngulilapila masengo gangu.
14 if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.
Pane chingombole kwatenda Ŵayahudi akole wiu kuti ngombole kwakulupusya ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo.
15 For if their casting away [be the] world's reconciliation, what [their] reception but life from among [the] dead?
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.
16 Now if the first-fruit [be] holy, the lump also; and if the root [be] holy, the branches also.
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.
17 Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and thou, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,
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.
18 boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, [it is] not thou bearest the root, but the root thee.
Kwayele kasimwajalusya aŵala ŵakatikwe mpela nyambi. Ŵanyamwe nganinkola chakulifunila, pakuwa nganimma ŵanyamwe ŵankujikamulila michiga, nambo michiga jo ni jajikunkamulila ŵanyamwe.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that I might be grafted in.
Panepa chinjile, “Nyambi syakatikwe melepe kuti une ngapandichikwe pachanya pakwe.”
20 Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and thou standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
Mwambone! Syakatikwe kwaligongo lya ungakulupilila wao ni mmwejo ntemi pamalo pao kwaligongo lya kukulupilila. Sambano nkalifuna nambo njogope.
21 if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.
Pakuŵa iŵaga Akunnungu nganiŵalechelela Ŵayahudi ŵakulandana ni nyambi sisyene, ana Akunnungu channechelele mmwe?
22 Behold then [the] goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since [otherwise] thou also wilt be cut away.
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.
23 And they too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.
Ni Ŵayahudi nombe nawo alekaga ungakulupilila wao chapandichikwe peuto paŵaliji kundanda, pakuŵa Akunnungu akupakombola kwapandichisya sooni.
24 For if thou hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?
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.
25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;
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.
26 and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Pelepo Ŵaisilaeli wose chakulupuswe mpela yaitite pakulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Mu Sayuni chachityochela nkulupusyo chachichityosya chigongomalo pasikati ja uŵelesi u che Yakobo.
27 And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.
Lyeleli lili lilangano lyangu lichindende ni ŵelewo katema pachinaalechelesye sambi syao.”
28 As regards the glad tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.
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.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God [are] not subject to repentance.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakugalausya nganisyo syao kwa aŵala ŵaŵasagwile ni kwapa upile.
30 For as indeed ye [also] once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of these;
Kalakala ko ŵanyamwe nganimwajitichisya Akunnungu nambo sambano ankolele chanasa ŵanyamwe ligongo lya ungapilikanichisya wa Ŵayahudi.
31 so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that they also may be objects of mercy.
Iyoyo peyo mpela ŵanyamwe yantite pakukolelwa chanasa, Ŵayahudi nombewo ngakwajitichisya Akunnungu melepe kuti nombewo akolelwe chanasa.
32 For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all. (eleēsē g1653)
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaatesile ŵandu wose aŵe ŵangajitichisya kuti ŵakolele chanasa ŵanawose. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!
Ipanje ya Akunnungu ni lunda ni umanyilisi wao ili yekulungwa kupunda! Ngapagwa jwakupakombola kusosasosa ulamusi wao natamuno kugamanyilila matala gao.
34 For who has known [the] mind of [the] Lord, or who has been his counsellor?
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Ana ŵaani ŵakusimanyilila ng'anisyo sya Ambuje? Ana ŵaani uchiŵasalile chakupanganya?
35 or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?
Ana ŵaani ŵalongolele kwapa Akunnungu chindu kuti ni ŵelewo ŵauchisye?”
