Romans 9
1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
Nazali koloba solo kati na Klisto, nazali kokosa te mpe motema na ngai ezali koyebisa ngai solo na nzela ya Molimo Mosantu:
2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
motema na ngai etondi na mawa mpe na pasi oyo ezali kosila te.
3 For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
Mpo na yango, eleki kutu malamu mpo na ngai kolakelama mabe mpe kokabwana na Klisto mpo na bandeko na ngai, bato ya ekolo na ngai,
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.
oyo bazali bana ya Isalaele. Nzambe akomisa bango bana na Ye, apesa bango nkembo, asala boyokani elongo na bango, apesa bango Mobeko, alakisa bango kosambela na solo, apesa bango bilaka
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)
mpe bakoko. Ezali na nzela ya bakoko yango nde Klisto, oyo azali na likolo ya nyonso, ayaki na mokili lokola moto. Tika ete Nzambe apambolama libela na libela! 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:
Elingi koloba te ete Liloba na Nzambe ebimaki na pamba, pamba te bakitani nyonso ya Isalaele bazali bana ya Isalaele te,
7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
mpe bakitani nyonso ya Abrayami bazali bana na ye te. Pamba te Nzambe alobaki na Abrayami: « Ezali na nzela ya Izaki nde okozwa bakitani. »
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.
Elingi koloba ete bana nyonso oyo Abrayami abotaki bazali bakitani na ye te, kasi ezali kaka bana oyo abotaki kati na elaka ya Nzambe nde batangamaka lokola bakitani na ye.
9 For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
Pamba te, tala ndenge Nzambe alakaki Abrayami: « Kaka na eleko oyo, nakozonga, mpe Sara akozala na mwana mobali. »
10 Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
Esukaki kaka wana te: Rebeka mpe abotaki bana mibali mibale na nzela ya tata moko, Izaki, koko na biso.
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)
Nzokande, liboso ete mapasa yango babotama mpe basala likambo moko ya malamu to ya mabe, mpo ete mabongisi ya lolenge Nzambe aponaka ekokisama,
12 It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.
kolanda misala ya bato te kasi kolanda mokano ya Ye oyo abengaka, Nzambe alobaki na Rebeka: « Kulutu akosalela leki, »
13 As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.
kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Nalingaki Jakobi, kasi nayinaki Ezawu. »
14 What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
Boye toloba nini? Mabe ezali kati na Nzambe? Soki moke te!
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.
Pamba te alobaki na Moyize: « Nakotalisa ngolu epai ya moto oyo Ngai nasepeli kosalela ngolu, mpe nakoyokela mawa moto oyo Ngai nasepeli koyokela mawa. »
16 So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.
Boye, yango ewuti te na posa to na makasi ya moto, kasi ewuti na Nzambe oyo asalaka ngolu.
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.
Pamba te, tala ndenge Makomi elobaki na tina na Faraon: « Nakomisaki yo mokonzi mpo na kotalisa nguya na Ngai kati na yo, mpe mpo ete lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai epanzana na mokili mobimba. »
18 Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
Boye Nzambe asalaka ngolu na moto oyo Ye asepeli kosalela ngolu, mpe ayeisaka motema libanga moto oyo Ye asepeli koyeisa motema libanga.
19 Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will?
Bato bakoki koloba: « Mpo na nini Nzambe apamelaka biso, pamba te moto moko te akoki kotelemela mokano na Ye? »
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?
Oh moto, ozali nani mpo ete obeta tembe na Nzambe? Mbeki ya mabele ekoki solo koloba na moto oyo asali yango: « Mpo na nini osali ngai na lolenge oyo? »
21 Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour?
Mosali mbeki azali na bokonzi te ya kosala nzungu ya lokumu mpe nzungu oyo ezanga lokumu na nzela ya potopoto kaka moko?
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?
Okoloba nini soki Nzambe, mpo na kolakisa kanda mpe nguya na Ye, ayikelaki mingi mpiko mbeki oyo etumbolaka kanda na Ye, mbeki oyo ebongisami mpo na kobebisama?
23 And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?
Okoloba lisusu nini, soki Nzambe asalaki bongo mpo na kolakisa bomengo ya nkembo na Ye mpo na bolamu ya bato oyo asepeli kosalela ngolu, ba-oyo abongisa wuta kala mpo na nkembo?
24 Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,
Ezali biso nde Nzambe abengaki, kaka kati na Bayuda te kasi mpe kati na Bapagano,
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.
kolanda ndenge azali koloba kati na mokanda ya Oze: « Nakobenga bato oyo bazalaka ya Ngai te bato na Ngai, mpe nakobenga ye oyo azalaka molingami na Ngai te molingami na Ngai. »
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.
Mpe, « kaka na esika oyo balobaki na bango: ‹ Bozali bato na ngai te, › bakokoma kobenga bango ‹ bana na Nzambe na bomoi. › »
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.
Ezayi agangaki na tina na Isalaele: « Ata soki motango ya bana ya Isalaele ezalaki lokola zelo ya ebale monene, ndambo kaka nde bakobika.
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.
Pamba te Nkolo akokokisa Liloba na Ye na mobimba na yango mpe na lombangu kati na mokili. »
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.
Ezali ndenge kaka Ezayi amisakolelaki: « Soki Nkolo, Mokonzi ya mampinga, atikelaki biso bakitani te, tolingaki kokoma lokola engumba Sodome, tolingaki kokokana na engumba Gomore. »
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.
Boye, toloba lisusu nini? Bapagano oyo bazalaki koluka te kokoma bato ya sembo bakomi sembo na nzela ya kondima,
31 But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.
kasi Isalaele oyo azalaki koluka kokoma sembo na nzela ya kotosa Mobeko atikali kokoma sembo te.
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,
Mpo na nini? Pamba te balukaki te kokoma sembo na nzela ya kondima, kasi na nzela ya misala. Yango wana babetaki libaku na libanga oyo ekweyisaka,
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.
kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Tala, nazali kotia kati na Siona libanga oyo ebetisaka bato mabaku, libanga monene oyo ekweyisaka bato; moto oyo akotiela yango motema akotikala koyokisama soni te. »
