Romans 9
1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
Ndinotaura chokwadi muna Kristu, handinyepi, hana yangu ichipupurirana neni muMweya Mutsvene,
2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
kuti ndinoshushikana kwazvo, neshungu dzisingaperi mumoyo mangu.
3 For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
Nokuti ndaishuva kuti ini ndomene nditukwe kuna Kristu nekuda kwehama dzangu, verudzi rwangu panyama;
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.
vari VaIsraeri, vane kuitwa vana, nekubwinya, nesungano, nekupiwa kwemurairo, neushumiri hwaMwari, nezvivimbiso,
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)
madzibaba ndeavo, naKristu wakabva kwavari panyama, ari pamusoro pezvese, Mwari anokudzwa narinhi. Ameni. (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:
Asi kwete shoko raMwari serakakundikana. Nokuti havasi vese vakabva kuna Israeri, vari VaIsraeri;
7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
kwete nokuti imbeu yaAbhurahama, vese vana; asi zvinonzi: Kuna Isaka ndiko kuchadanwa mbeu yako.
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.
Ndiko kuti, havasi vana venyama, ivo vari vana vaMwari; asi vana vechivimbiso vanoverengerwa kumbeu.
9 For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
Nokuti iri ishoko rechivimbiso rinoti: Nenguva ino ndichauya, uye Sara achava nemwanakomana.
10 Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
Handizvo chete, asi naRibheka wakati ava nemimba neumwe, Isaka baba vedu;
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)
nokuti vana vasati vaberekwa, kana kumboita chakanaka kana chakaipa, kuti zano raMwari maererano nesananguro rigare, kwete kubva pamabasa, asi kubva kune anodana,
12 It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.
zvakataurwa kwaari kuti: Mukuru achashumira mudiki,
13 As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.
sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Jakobho ndakamuda, asi Esau ndakamuvenga.
14 What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
Ko zvino tichatii? Kusarurama kuriko kuna Mwari here? Ngazvisadaro!
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.
Nokuti anoti kuna Mozisi: Ndichava netsitsi kune wandine tsitsi naye, ndichanzwira ngoni wandinonzwira ngoni.
16 So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.
Naizvozvo zvakadaro hazvisi zveanoda, kana zveanomhanya, asi zvaMwari anonzwira tsitsi.
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.
Nokuti rugwaro rwunoti kuna Farao: Ndizvozvi zvandakakumutsira, kuti ndiratidze simba rangu mauri, uye kuti zita rangu riparidzwe panyika yese.
18 Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
Naizvozvo zvino anonzwira tsitsi iye waanoda; uye anowomesa moyo wewaanoda.
19 Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will?
Zvino iwe uchati kwandiri: Iye achiri kuwanirei mhosva? Nokuti ndiani angapikisa kuda kwake?
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?
Haiwa, iwe munhu ndiwe ani anokakavadza Mwari? Chakaumbiwa chingati here kune wakaumba: Wakandiitirei sezvizvi?
21 Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour?
Kana muumbi haana simba pamusoro pevhu here, kuti nebundu rimwe aite mudziyo umwe unokudzwa, neumwe unozvidzwa?
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?
Uye kana Mwari achida kuratidza hasha, nekuzivisa simba rake, wakatakura nemoyo murefu kwazvo midziyo yehasha yakagadzirirwa kuparadzwa;
23 And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?
uye kuti azivise fuma yekubwinya kwake pamidziyo yetsitsi, yaakagara agadzirira kubwinya,
24 Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,
nesu, vaakadana, yatiri isu, kusiri kuVaJudha chete, asi nekuvahedheni?
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.
Sezvaanorevawo muna Hosiya achiti: Ndichavaidza vanhu vangu ivo vasiri vanhu vangu; naiye wakange asingadikanwi mudikanwi;
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.
zvino zvichaitika kuti, panzvimbo pazvakanzi kwavari: Hamusi vanhu vangu imwi, ipapo vachaidzwa vana vaMwari mupenyu.
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 anodanidzirawo maererano naIsraeri achiti: Kunyange uwandu hwevana vaIsraeri hukaita sejecha regungwa, vakasara vachaponeswa;
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.
nokuti achapedza basa nekurigurisira mukururama; nokuti Ishe achagurisira basa panyika.
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.
Uye Isaya sezvaakagara areva achiti: Dai Ishe wehondo asina kutisiira mbeu, tingadai takava seSodhoma, uye takaitwa takafanana neGomora.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.
Ko tichatii? Kuti vahedheni vasingatsvaki kururama, vakabata kururama, iko kururama kunobva parutendo;
31 But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.
asi Israeri, achitsvaka murairo wekururama, haana kusvika pamurairo wekururama.
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,
Nekuda kwei? Nokuti havana kutsvaka nerutendo, asi nezvainge namabasa emurairo; nokuti vakagumburwa pabwe rekugumbura.
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.
Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Tarira, ndinoisa paZiyoni ibwe rekugumbura nedombo rechipinganidzo; uye ani nani anotenda kwaari haanganyadziswi.
