Romans 9
1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
Ni wamba vuniti mwa Kreste, kani chengi, mi muhupulo wangu uhindite vupaki name muluho lu Jolola,
2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
kuti kwangu kwina kulira kukando niku chiswa ku nkulo kusa mani.
3 For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
Kaho ni sepa kuti ime ni mwine ni kutiwe nikuvikwa ku mbali kuzwa kwa kreste che vaka lya vamukulwangu, avo va mushovo wangu chokuya ke nyana.
4 Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.
Ma isilaele. vena ku añulwa, inkanya, chilikani, impo zo mulao, kulumbeka kwe Ireeza, ni nsepiso.
5 Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
Va sukukulu vava sukulu kwava kazwi Kreste wa keza ni kute kwi nyama- Iye yali Ireeza konse. Alumbekwe kuya kwile. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:
Kono kena kuti insepiso za Ireeza za kanga. Kaho kena vonse vena mwa Isilaele vazwa mwa Isilaele.
7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
mane ni vaana va Abrahama vaana vakwe ve niti. Kono, “nji ka Isaac kuti vaana venu kava sumpwe.”
8 That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede.
Icho njikuti, vaana ve nyama kena vaana ve Ireeza. Kono vaana ve nsepiso va vikitwe nji vaana.
9 For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
Kaho ilyi nji linzwi lye nsepiso: “keyi nako munize, mi mwana kahewe kwa Sarah.”
10 Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
Isiñi fela ichi, kono haisi Rebecca naye ava zalwa cha mukwame yenke, Ishetu Isaac-
11 For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth)
kaho vaana kena vavali kuzalitwe mi kena vava pangi chintu chilotu kapa chimbi, njokuti intokwahalo za Ireeza chokuya chokuli ketela chiwole kuzimana, isiñi cha mitendo, koho chevaka lyakwe yo sumpa-
12 It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.
iva wambwa kwali, “mukulwana ka seveleze muhwile.”
13 As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.
iswana sina muiva ñolelwa: “Jacovo niva kumusaka, kono Esau niva kumutoyete.”
14 What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
Cwale he katu wambe nzi? kwina kusa jolola ni Ireeza? kanji ipangahali.
15 For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion.
Kaho uwamba kwa Mushe, “kanive ni chishemo kozo yete ninive ni chishemo, mi kanive ni nkumbo kwali yete ninive ni kumbo.”
16 So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.
Cwalehe, kena kuti nji kwakwe we ntato, kapa iye yo mata, kono ivaka lya Ireeza, yo vonisa chishemo.
17 For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth.
Kaho iñolo lyi wamba kwa Pharoah, “kelyi vaka niva kunyemuni, njokuti ni sondeze manta angu kwako, mi hape kuti izina lyangu lyive kuwambwa mwifasi lyonse.”
18 Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
Cwalehe, Ireeza wina chishemo kwavo va saka, mi avo va saka, uvapanga kusa zuwa.
19 Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will?
Kamuwambe cwalehe kwangu, “chinzi hasi wana zifoso? kaho yense ya vazimani he ntato yakwe?”
20 But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
kwimbali imwi, mukwame, njeweni witava havusu vwe Ireeza? kana china chiva vumbwa kachiwole kuwamba kozo yava chivumbi, “Chinzi hova ni pangi mwinzila umu?”
21 Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour?
muvumbi kena mulao hewulu lye tope kupanga kwi lambi iswana ni chivikilo cho musevezi wo vutokwa, mi ni chimwi chivikilo chokusevelisa izuva ni zuva?
22 What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction?
Cwale haiva Ireeza, ya saka ku vonisa vukali niku panga manta akwe aziveke, ava lindizi ninkulo inde yo kuvika vukali vwakwe che nchanganiso?
23 And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?
Cwale kape ava pangi izi njokuti ezivahaze chifumu che nkanya yakwe mukati kezi vukilo ze chishemo, yava vikili kumasule inkanya?
24 Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,
Cwale kape ava chitupangili naswe, avo vava sumpi hape, isiñi fela mukati ka Majuda, kono hape niku ma Genitiles?
25 As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued.
Sina ha wamba hape mwa Hosea: “kani sumpe vantu vangu vasena vavali vantu vangu, ni musakiwa wakwe yasena va kusakwa.
26 And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God.
mi kaive kuti kuiva ka wambwa kuvali iva wambwa kuvali, 'kena muvantu vangu; aho kavasumpwe' vaana ve Ireeza yo hala.'”
27 Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued.
Isaya ulila Isilaele, “haiva i nombolo ya vaana va Isilaele iswana sina ivu lye wate, kaive za shala kwezo ziva hazwa.
28 For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
Kaho Simwine mwahinde linzwi lyakwe he fasi, yahanu niku mana.
29 And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha.
Mi iswana sina Isaya hava wambi, “haiva Simwine kena va siyi vaana
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.
Katu wambenzi cwale? kuti ma Genitiles, kena vave chilili kuchena, kuchena kwe ntumero.
31 But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.
Kono Isilaele, vave chilili kuchena ko mulao, kena vava siki koo.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone,
Ivaka ncinzi? kakuti kena vava ichilili che tumero, kono che misevezi. Vava nkumi hechwe lyokukuma,
33 As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
sina muivañolelwe, “lole, ni lele mwa Zion ichwe lyokukuma ni hechwe lya mafosisa. iye ya zumina muchili kete aswaviswe.”
