Romans 9
1 I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience is testifying with me in the Holy Spirit—
nijova isa lweli mwa Kilisite. nanijova uvudesi, uvufumbue vwango vulola palikimo nune mwa Mhepo uMwimike,
2 I have great sorrow and unceasing distress in my heart.
kuuti ali nulusukunalo lukome nu lulemasio luno nalusiala nkate ja mwoojo ghwake.
3 For I keep wishing that I myself could be accursed away from the Messiah for the sake of my brothers, my physical relatives,
nale ninoghelua kuuva une nemwene kughunivua na kuseghusivua kutali nu Kilisite vwimila avanyalukolo vango, vala va munyumba jango ku m'bili.
4 the Israelites. To them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises.
aveene ve va Silaeli. vano vali nuvwakuvombeka kuuva vaanha va vwimike vwa lulaghilona matekelo gha ndaghilo, kunfunya uNguluve nu lufingo.
5 The patriarchs are theirs, and from them came the Christ (the physical part), who is over all, God forever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
avene ve valongosi vano uKilisite iisile ku vukoola kukughufwala um'bili ughu juno umwene ghwe Nguluve ghwa fyooni. ghwope aghinuaghe kuvusila na kusila. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
6 However, it is not as though the Word of God has failed! For not all who have descended from Israel are ‘Israel’.
neke nakwekuuti ulufingo lwa Nguluve lukunilue kuvombeka. lwakuva na muunhu ghweni juno ali ku Isilaeli ghwe Msilaeli ghweghwene.
7 Neither are they all ‘children’ because they are Abraham's descendants; but, “in Isaac will your seed be called.”
Ndali nambe ku vuholuo vwa Abulahamu kuuva vaanha vake kyekyene. neke kwe kukilila uIsaka uvuholuo vwako vulikemelua”.
8 That is, it is not the physical children who are God's ‘children’, but the children of the promise are regarded as ‘seed’.
ulu kwekuuti, avaanha va mb'ili na vaanha va va Nguluve. neke avaanha va lufingo vilolelelevua kuuva vaanha va vuholuo.
9 For this is the word of promise: “At this season I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
lwakuva ili lye lisio lya lufingo: “mu masiki agha nikwisa, Sala ipelua umwana”
10 Not only that, but also when Rebecca had conceived twins by our forefather Isaac
na lye ili lyene, neke uRebeka ye apatile uvukunue kwa muunhu jumo, uIsaka ubaba ghwitu,
11 (though they had not yet been born, not having done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),
kuuti avaanha ye navaholilue kange alyakyale kuvomba lyolyoni lila ilinono nambe ilivivi, neke kuuti igila ja Nguluve kuling'ana nu vutavusi lyime, nambe ku maghendele, neke vwimila kwa jula juno ikemhela.
12 it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger.”
jikajovilue kwa mwene kuuti, “umbaha ukum'bombelagha un'debe”.
13 As it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
ndavule jalembilue: “uYakovo nilyamughanile, neke uEsau nankalalagha.
14 So what shall we say, there is no injustice with God, is there? Of course not!
pe tutisagha kiki kange? pe kuli nu vuhosi kwa Nguluve? Ndali!
15 For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I have compassion.”
ulwakuva ijova kwa Moose, kuuti, Niiva nu lusaghilo kwa jula juno niiva ninsaghile, kange niiva nulusungu kwa jula juno niiva ninsungile”
16 So then, it is not of him who wills nor of him who strives, but of God who shows mercy.
pe lino na kwekuuti kwa jula juno ilonda nambe kwa jula juno ikimbila. neke vwimila Nguluve juno isoona lusaghilo.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
ulwakuva amalembe ghiti kwa Falao, “mu gila iji jino jinoghile nilyakutosisie, neke kuuti nisone ingufu sango kulyuve, kange neke kuuti ilitavua lyango lipulisivue mu iisi sooni”
18 So then, He has mercy on whom He wishes, and He hardens whom He wishes.
pe lino, uNguluve iva nulusaghilo kwa ghwoghwoni juno amughanile, na kwa juno ikumughana, nyamajegho.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has ever resisted His will?”
pe ghuliti kulyune, “kiki nifikughwagha unkole? ghwe veeni juno alyavaghile ku nogheluo saake?
20 Really now, just who are you, O man, to talk back to God? What is formed will not say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this,” will it?
kinsana kyake, uve veve muunhu muki ghejuno ghukwamula mulwa kupingana nu Nguluve? kuli ningufu sosoni ku kila kino kivumbilue kuuti m'bumbi, “kiki ulyanivumbile une ndiki?”
21 Or has the potter no right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
pe um'bumbi nsila kyang'haani ku lihanga kutenda ikyombo kino kinoghile kya kutumila kuhumilanila ni lihanga lilalila, ni kyombo ikinge ikyakutumila jaatu?
22 What if God, wishing to display His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
ndani nave uNguluve juno ndeponu ivonesia ing'alasi jake na kuvonesia ingufu jake kukagulika, akikalile ku lugudo lwa kukwila ifikong'hoolo fya ng'alasi fino filyavikilue neke kubuda?
23 just in order to make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,
ndani nave alyavombile ndiki neke kuuti avonesie uvwinga vwa vwimike vwake kyanya ja fikong'hoolo lusungu, fino alyalinganisie vwimila uvwimike?
24 even us whom He called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
ndani ndeve alyavombile ndiki kange kulyusue, juno kange alyatukemelile nakwekuti kuhuma kuvaYahudi vene neke kange kuhuma ku vaanhu ava pa iisi.
25 As He also says in Hosea: “I will call the ‘not my people’, ‘my people’, and the ‘not loved’ (f), ‘loved’.”
ndavule fino ijova kange ku Hosea: nilikuvakemhela avaanhu vango vano navalyale vango, nu mughanike ghwake juno nalyale mughanike.
26 “And it will be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called sons of the living God.”
kange jiliiva kuuti, pala panojikajovilue kuveene, umue namuli vaanhu vango' pala vilikemhelua vaanha vwa Nguluve juno mwumi”
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved;
uIsaya ikujililila iIsilaeli, kuuti, “nave imbalilo ja vaanha va Silaeli jale jiva hwene lihanga lwa lisumbe, ghiva ghe masala ghano ghilivangulua
28 because He is finishing and cutting short an accounting in righteousness; yes, the Lord will impose a condensed accounting upon the earth.”
ulwakuva uMutwa ilitola ilisio lyake pa iisi, ng'haning'hani na kuvunywilifu.
29 And as Isaiah had said previously: “Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like Gomorrah.”
nambe pa vwasio ndavule uIsaya alyajovile kuuti, “ndavule uMutwa ghwa valua lilugu nalyatulekile kunsana uvuholuo vwimila jitu twale tuuve hwene Sodoma kange twale tuvombua hwene Gomola.
30 So what shall we say? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained to righteousness, namely the righteousness that comes from faith;
pe tuti kiki lino? kuuti avaanhu ava pa iisi vano navalyale vilonda ikyang'haani, valyapatile ikyang'haani ku lwitiko.
31 while Israel, pursuing a standard of righteousness, did not attain to that standard.
neke iIsilaeli, juno alyalondagha indaghilo ja kyang'haani naalyajaghile.
32 Why not? Because it was not from faith, but as from works of the law. They stumbled over the ‘stumbling stone’;
kiki na uluo? ulwakuva navalyajilondile ku lwitiko, looli ku maghendele. valyakuvile pakyanya pa livue lya kukuvalila,
33 as it is written: “Look! I am placing in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense, and no one who believes on Him will be put to shame.”
ndavule dino jilyalembilue, “lola nighonisie ilivue lya kukuvalila ku Sayuni nu mwamba ghwa kukosa. umwene juno ikwitika mu ili nailivona soni.
