Romans 11
1 I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Ningĩ ngũũria atĩrĩ: Ngai nĩkũrega aaregire andũ ake? Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Niĩ mwene ndĩ Mũisiraeli, wa rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu, na wa mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini.
2 God hath not cast away his people, which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias; how he calleth on God against Israel?
Ngai ndaigana kũrega andũ ake arĩa aamenyete o mbere. Kaĩ mũtooĩ ũrĩa Maandĩko moigĩte harĩa handĩkĩtwo ũhoro wa Elija, ũrĩa aathaithire Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli, akiuga atĩrĩ:
3 Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
“Mwathani, nĩmoragĩte anabii aku na nĩmatharĩtie igongona ciaku; no niĩ nyiki ndigarĩte, nao nĩkũnjaria maranjaria manjũrage”?
4 But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.
Ngai aamũcookeirie atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩĩtigĩirie andũ ngiri mũgwanja arĩa matarĩ maaturĩria Baali ndu.”
5 Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o na hĩndĩ ĩno tũrĩ, nĩ kũrĩ na matigari marĩa Ngai ethuurĩire nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake.
6 And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
Na angĩkorwo Ngai aamathuurire nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake-rĩ, gũtingĩgĩtuĩka atĩ maathuurirwo nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao; korwo nĩ ũguo-rĩ, wega wa Ngai ndũngĩgĩtuĩka nĩ wega rĩngĩ.
7 What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it; and the rest have been blinded.
Rĩu tũkiuge atĩa? Nĩ atĩrĩ, ũndũ ũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatũire macaragia na kĩyo kĩnene matiawonire, no andũ arĩa athuure-rĩ, nĩmawonire. Acio angĩ nao nĩmoomirio ngoro,
8 As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.
o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Ngai nĩamaheire roho ta wa andũ magonetio nĩ toro, akĩmahe maitho matekuona, na matũ matekũigua, o nginya ũmũthĩ ũyũ.”
9 And David saith: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them.
Nake Daudi ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Metha yao ya kũrĩĩra ĩrotuĩka mũtego, na kĩndũ gĩa kũmagwatia, o na ĩtuĩke ya kũmahĩnga, na irĩhi rĩa ũũru wao.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.
Maitho mao marogĩa nduma, matige gũcooka kuona, na mathiiage mainamĩrĩire nginya tene.”
11 I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.
Ningĩ ngũũria atĩrĩ: Ayahudi nĩkũhĩngwo maahĩngirwo makĩgũa ũndũ matangĩũkĩra? Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo! Aca ti guo o na atĩa! Ũrĩa kũrĩ nĩ atĩ, tondũ wa mehia mao, ũhonokio nĩũkinyĩire andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ nĩgeetha andũ a Isiraeli maigue ũiru.
12 Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?
No angĩkorwo ũremi wao nĩũtuĩkĩte ũtonga kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ gĩa thĩ, nayo hathara yao ĩgatuĩka ũtonga kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ-rĩ, githĩ kũiyũrĩrĩrwo kwao gũtingĩkĩrehe ũtonga mũingĩ makĩria!
13 For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,
Rĩu-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ndĩraarĩria. Tondũ ndĩ mũtũmwo ũtũmĩtwo kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ-rĩ, ũtungata ũcio wakwa nĩndĩwĩkĩrĩire mũno,
14 If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
ngĩĩgeragĩria kana hihi ndahota kwarahũra andũ a rũruka rwakwa kĩũmbe maigue ũiru, na ndũme amwe ao mahonokio.
15 For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
Tondũ angĩkorwo kũregwo kwao nĩkuo gwa gũtũma kĩrĩndĩ gĩa thĩ kĩiguithanio na Ngai-rĩ, ĩ gwĩtĩkĩrwo kwao kũngĩkĩrehe kĩĩ, tiga o kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Angĩkorwo kĩenyũ gĩa kĩmere kĩrĩa kĩrutĩirwo Ngai kĩrĩ maciaro ma mbere nĩ gĩtheru-rĩ, o nakĩo kĩmere gĩothe no gĩtheru; angĩkorwo mũri nĩ mũtheru-rĩ, o nacio honge no theru.
17 And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,
Angĩkorwo honge imwe cia mũtamaiyũ wa mũgũnda nĩciakahũrirwo, nawe, o na watuĩka ũrĩ rũhonge rwa mũtamaiyũ wa gĩthaka-rĩ, ũgĩciarithanio na honge icio ingĩ, na rĩu nĩũgayanaga ũnoru na icio ingĩ kuuma mũri wa mũtamaiyũ ũcio-rĩ,
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
menya ndũkae kwĩganĩra honge icio ingĩ. Ũngĩka ũguo-rĩ, ririkana ũndũ ũyũ: Wee tiwe ũnyiitĩrĩire mũri ũcio, no nĩ mũri ũcio ũkũnyiitĩrĩire.
19 Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
No wee no ũkiuge atĩrĩ, “Honge icio ciakahũrirwo nĩgeetha njiarithanio na mũtĩ.”
20 Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.
Ũguo noguo. No rĩrĩ, honge icio ciakahũrirwo tondũ wa kwaga gwĩtĩkia, nawe wĩhaandĩte nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia. Ndũkae gwĩtĩĩa, no wĩtigagĩre.
21 For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
Tondũ angĩkorwo Ngai ndaacaĩire honge icio cia ndũire-rĩ, o nawe ndangĩgũcaĩra.
22 See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwĩcũraniei ũhoro wa ũtugi wa Ngai na kwaga tha gwake: harĩ andũ acio maagũire, nĩagire kũmaiguĩra tha, no inyuĩ, nĩkũmũtuga amũtugaga, angĩkorwo nĩmũgũtũũra thĩinĩ wa ũtugi wake. Kwaga ũguo-rĩ, o na inyuĩ no mũtinio mweherio.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
Andũ acio nao mangĩtiga kũrũmia ũhoro ũcio wa kwaga gwĩtĩkia-rĩ, nĩmagaciarithanio na mũtĩ, nĩgũkorwo Ngai arĩ na ũhoti wa kũmaciarithania naguo rĩngĩ.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, angĩkorwo mwatinirio kuuma mũtamaiyũ-inĩ wa kĩrĩti, na mũgĩcooka mũgĩciarithanio na mũtamaiyũ wa mũgũnda, na ũcio nĩ ũhoro ũtarĩ wa ndũire-rĩ, githĩ ti ũhũthũ makĩria honge ici, o ici ciarĩ ciaguo, gũciarithanio na mũtamaiyũ wa mũgũnda o ũcio warĩ wao kĩũmbe!
25 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndikwenda mũikare mũrigĩtwo nĩ ũhoro ũyũ wa hitho, nĩgeetha mũtikae kwĩona ta mũrĩ oogĩ: Hitho nĩ atĩ, andũ amwe a Isiraeli nĩanyiite nĩ kũũmia ngoro, o nginya rĩrĩa mũigana wa andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ũkaahinga gũtoonya.
26 And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmakahonokio, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Mũhonokia nĩakoima Zayuni; naguo ũhoro wa kũregana na Ngai nĩakaweheria kuuma kũrĩ Jakubu.
27 And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.
Nakĩo gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ngaarĩkanĩra nao, rĩrĩa ngaamehereria mehia mao.”
28 As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.
Ha Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmatuirwo thũ nĩ ũndũ wanyu, no ha ũhoro wa gũthuurwo-rĩ, nĩmendetwo nĩ ũndũ wa maithe mao ma tene,
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
nĩgũkorwo iheo iria Ngai aheanaga na gwĩtana kũrĩa etanaga nakuo ndacookaga kwĩricũkwo.
30 For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;
O ta ũrĩa inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩmwe mwaremeire Ngai, no rĩu nĩamũiguĩrĩire tha nĩ ũndũ wa ũremi wao-rĩ,
31 So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
rĩu no taguo o nao matuĩkĩte aremi, nĩgeetha o nao rĩu maiguĩrwo tha nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa Ngai amũiguĩrĩire tha.
Nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩatuĩte andũ othe aremi nĩgeetha acooke amaiguĩre tha othe. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
Hĩ! Ĩ ũũgĩ wa Ngai, o naguo ũmenyo wake, itikĩrĩ nyingĩ na ndiku mũno! Matuĩro make gũtirĩ ũngĩhota kũmatuĩria, na mĩthiĩre yake kaĩ ndĩngĩmenyeka-ĩ!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?
“Nũũ ũmenyete meciiria ma Mwathani? Kana nũũ ũkoretwo akĩmũtaara?”
35 Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
“Nũũ wanahe Ngai kĩndũ, atĩ nĩguo Ngai acooke amũrĩhe kĩndũ kĩu?”
