Romans 9
1 I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,
Ninchova icha yelweli mwa Klisite. Saninchova uvudesi, ni nyievonelo nchengo nchikhumbula paninie nune mumepo umbalanche,
2 that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,
Ukhuta khulinulusu valo uluvaha nuluvavo ulusalwisila ngati munumbula yango.
3 for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;
Ukhuta nale ninogwe une nie mwene ukhukotoliwa nu khutengiwa patali nu Klisite khunogwa ya valokolo lwango, uvuvahwani nune khimbili.
4 who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;
Avene vanya Israeli, uvalivumbikhe vana, va vuvalanche, nu lwokhelo lwa lutagilo, ukhwisa ya khwa Nguluve nu lwokhelo.
5 whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Avene vuvalongonchi u Klisite wa inchile kwu lisima ukhofwala umbili ugu - umwene vi Nguluve va fyoni. Navope agini vwage imiaka. Amina. (aiōn g165)
6 Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel;
Khange sakhukhuta ulwidihano lwa Nguluve lukemilwe ukhutimila. Ulwakhuva sakhilo munu uviavile inya Israeli vi muIsrael lweli.
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
Ate ne khikhipapo kya Abrahamu ukhuva vana va mwene lweli, “Pwu ukhugendela kwa Isaka ikhipago kyoko khikhwelangiwa.”
8 That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.
Ukhuta avana va mbili savana va Nguluve. Pwu avanu va lwidihano viloliwa ukhuva khipapo.
9 For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
Uhwakhuva ili lyu limenyu lya lwidiheno: “Mwu misinkhi haya nikhwincha, nu Sara iva nu mwana.”
10 And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father,
Salili vuvule, nayu Rebeka ukhukhava unchigo khu munu yumo, u Isaka udada vitu-
11 [the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),
Ukhuta avana vakhasigalile ukhu holiwa khange sakha vomba imbombo yoyoni inonu apange imbivi, apange uvunogwe wa Nguluve ukhukongana nu vuhale wime, sio khu mbombo, ulwakhuva ukuta.
12 it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less:
Lyanchovile khu mwene, “Umbaha ikhumbombela udebe.”
13 according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.
Nduvuyisimbiwe: U Yakobo naaganile, pwu Esau ansulile.”
14 What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.
Pwu lino pwu twinchova ikhikhi? Khuli vuvivi khwa Nguluve? Ata.
15 For he says to Moses, I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy, and I will feel compassion for whom I will feel compassion.
Ulwakuva inchova kwa Mose, “Niva nikhisa kwulo uvinikwu nsyikhela, niva nu lusyikhilo kwa ula uviya nikwu n'syikhila, khange niva huruma khu yule uvinikwusyikila.
16 So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.
Pwu lino sayivile umwene uviinogwa khange sa lwakuva inyile uviivonesya ikhisa.
17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst [men], that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth.
Ulwakuva uvusimbe vwita kwa Farao, “Khuvunogwe uvu uvuvamana nikha khwimikha une nivonesye amakha gango khulyuve, nukuva ilitavwa lyango linchovivwage ikhilunga kyoni.”
18 So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
Pwu lino uNguluve iva ni khisa khumunu yoni uvyaganile, na uvyaganile, ikhumbikhe ukhuvanya ngani.
19 Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose?
Pwu yawita khulione, “Pwu khikhi vupilola uvuvivi? Pwu alikhi uviegumilinche uvunogwe vwa mwene?”
20 Aye, but thou, O man, who art thou that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Vi munu veve veni vi vukhumbulo vunge uNguluve? vwiwesya ukhulumanye ikhinu ikyu vumbile ukunchova kwu munu uvya khivumbile, “Khekhi ukhambikhile evwo une?”
21 Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
Khukhu uvivumba inchila vwa yelweli kwu ng'anga ukhuvumba ikhivombelo ukhumana nu ng'anga gula gule, ni khyombo khinge khu mbombo yi figono fyoni?
22 And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;
Ndakhekhi ingave, uNguluve, uvi alinuvunu vwa khuvonesya uvuvivi vwa uvuvivi vwa mwene nu khuvomba ne makhaga mwene ukhuvoneka, akhanogile ukwiyumilinche, iatbu iyuyivikhiwe kwa khuyancho?
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
Ndakhikhi ingave avombile evo avonesye uwingi vwa vulancha vwa mwene kwu fyombo fya khisa, ifyo ifi fikhavikhilwe kwu vuvalanche?
24 us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations?
Ndakhikhi ingave akhavombile khuvanu va khilunga?
25 As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved.
Nduvwichova khange khwa Hosea: “Nikhuvilanga avanu vango uvuvale savanu vangu nu ngane va mwene uvisakhe ngane.
26 And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people, there shall they be called Sons of [the] living God.
Khange yayiva ukhuta pala upwa khanchovivivwe kuvene, 'Umwe samlivanu vango,' pala vikhilangiwa 'vana va Nguluve umwumi.'”
27 But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:
Uyisaya ilila ukhukongano ni Israeli, “Ingave imbalilo ncha vana va Israeli ncha chivenchage ndu nganga ugwa nyanja, igiva gu melagalila legu giva masigalila uvu yavipokiwa.
28 for [he] is bringing the matter to an end, and [cutting [it] short in righteousness; because] a cutting short of the matter will [the] Lord accomplish upon the earth.
Ulwakhuva unkuludeva ayikulitola ilimenyu lya mwene pakhanya pakhilunga, khimbivi nu uvukwilanile.
29 And according as Esaias said before, Unless [the] Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha.
Nduvu Isaya vu anchovile, “Ingave unkuludeva vavasikhali sa khatulekhe khunsana kwu khivumbukho kyito, tukhale twiva ndu Sodoma, na tuvombivwa nda Mgomora.
30 What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith.
twita khekhi lino? Ukhuta avanu va nkilunga uvu savalikhulonda uvwa yilweli, uvwa yilweli wa lwidincho.
31 But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law.
Pwu lino unya Israeli, vyalikhulobda ululagilo lwe vwa yilweli sakhefikha.
32 Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,
Khekhi sayikhale ivwo? Ulwakhuva savalikhu nu lwidikho, valikholonde kwu mbombo. Vakhi khuvancha pakyanya paliwe ilya kwi kuvancho,
33 according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
Nduvuyivile yisimbiwe, “Lola, nivikhile ilivwe lya kwi kuvancha mSayuni nu umwene uviikhwidikha salasukha.”
