Romans 9
1 I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
Neni ntakula nakaka hera, neni wera gwa Kristu na hapeni nzyangi. Mahala ganeni galongoziwa na Rohu Mnanagala, viraa gawera ukapitawu kuwera nakaka neni nzyanga ndiri
2 that there is great sorrow to me and incessant grief to my heart.
pantakula kuwera nana maholu makulu na utama nentu mumoyu mwaneni
3 For I would pray, that I myself might be an offering from Christ; in behalf of my brethren, my kindred according to the flesh:
kwa wantu wa isi yaneni! Handa meyiweri kwa mota yawu, mensyaguli kuwera mupangira ya Mlungu na kulekana na Kristu.
4 who are Israelites, of whom is the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises:
Womberi ndo wantu wa Israeli, yomberi kawatenditi womberi waweri wana wakuwi na kawagubutuliti ukwisa wakuwi na katenditi lipatanu lyakuwi na womberi na kuwapanani Lilagaliru lya Musa, womberi wamguwiri nakaka na wawankiti lagilu lya Mlungu.
5 of whom are the fathers, and of whom is Christ according to the flesh. Who is over all, God blessed forever: amen. (aiōn g165)
Womberi wawera washiyiwuku kulawa kwa wazewi yawamanikana na Kristu munshimba yakuwi kalawa muukowu wawu. Ukwisa uweri kwa Mlungu yakakolamlima muvyoseri mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (aiōn g165)
6 But not as that the word of God has been a failure. For these are not all Israel who are of Israel;
Neni ntakula ndiri kuwera Mlungu kaweza ndiri kutenda ntambu yakalonga, toziya hapeni tulongi kuwera wantu woseri wa Israeli ndo wantu wa Mlungu,
7 neither are the children all the seed of Abraham; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called;
ama walerwa woseri wa Aburahamu ndo wana wa Mlungu. Mlungu kamgambiriti Aburahamu, “Kupitira Isaka haguweri na shiyiwuku shanukulagiliti.”
8 that is the children of the flesh the same are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Kwa njira yamonga kulonga, wana woseri ndiri yawamshemiti Aburahamu “Tati” waweriti wana wa Mlungu, kumbiti wana wa lagilu hera ndo washemitwi wana wa Aburahamu.
9 For this is the word of the promise, About this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
Toziya lagilu yeni ndo ayi, “Mushinja shashiza Sara hakapati mwana.”
10 Not only so; but Rebecca also having cohabitation of one, our father Isaac;
Na aga goseri ndiri, Rebeka kaweriti na wana wawili wa tati yumu, mbuyi gwetu Isaka.
11 for the children not having been born, neither having done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election not of works, but of him that calleth,
Katakuliti aga pamberi kwiwuka kwa womberi, womberi pamberi hawenitendi shoseri shiherepa ama shidoda, su usyagula wa Mlungu uwusu ushema wakuwi na kwahera shoseri shawatenditi womberi.
12 and it was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger:
Kumbiti usyagula wa mwana yumu kuweriti malawiranu kamili ga mpangu gwa Mlungu mweni, Mlungu kamgambiriti mdala ulii, “Mkulu hakamtenderi mpusu.”
13 as has been written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalembwa, “Neni numufira Yakobu, kumbiti numkalalira Esawu.”
14 Then what shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? It could not be so.
Hashi, tutakuli shishi? Hashi, Mlungu kankubagula? Ndala!
15 For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I do have mercy, and I will commiserate whom I do commiserate.
Yomberi kamgambiriti Musa, “Hanumwoneri lusungu muntu yoseri yanfira kumwonera lusungu, hanumfiri muntu yoseri yanumfira.”
16 Then it is not of him that willeth, nor him that runneth, but of God who shows mercy.
Galitumbira ndiri ntambu yatufira twenga ama kutenda, kumbiti su goseri galitumbira lusungu lya Mlungu.
17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing have I raised you up, that I may show forth my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.
Malembu Mananagala galonga hangu kwa Farawu mfalumi gwa Misri, “Nukutenda gwenga guweri mfalumi su kukutumiya gwenga kulanguziya makakala gangu na kutenda litawu lyangu limanikani pasipanu poseri.”
18 Then therefore he has mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardens.
Mlungu kamwonera lusungu muntu yoseri yakafira na pakafira kamtenda muntu yoseri kuwera mkayidi.
19 Then thou wilt say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?
Kumbiti yumu gwenu hakankosiyi neni, Hashi, vitwatira paviwera hangu, Mlungu kaweza hashi kumlawumu muntu? Hashi, gaa yakaweza kugadiwira mafiliru ga Mlungu?
20 O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus?
Hashi, ganja gwangu, gwenga gwa gaa gumkosiya Mlungu? Hashi, shiwiga shiweza kumkosiya mnyawa gwakuwi, “Iwera hashi gunyawa ntambu ayi?”
21 Has not the potter the right of the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
Mnyawa shiwiga kaweza kugutendera ukaka ntambu yakafira mweni na kuvinyawa viwiga viwili kwa ukaka ulaa ulii, shimu kwa matenderu ga ligoya na shimonga kwa matenderu ga ntambu irahayi.
22 But if God, wishing to show forth his indignation and make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of indignation having been perfected unto destruction:
Hangu ndo ntambu yayiwera nakaka kwa Mlungu. Yomberi kafiriti kulanguziya maya gakuwi na kutenda makakala gakuwi gamanikani. Kumbiti yomberi ndo muhepelera kwa walii yawaweriti lengu lya azabu yakuwi, walii yawafiruwitwi kuharabisiwa.
23 and in order that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he before prepared unto glory?
Yomberi kafiriti kugubutula ulunda wa ukwisa wakuwi, yakatumiminiriti twenga yatuweriti lengu lya lusungu lwakuwi, twenga walii yakatutandiriti kala kuwanka ukwisa wakuwi.
24 whom he called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles:
Twenga twawantu yawashemitwi, twenga tulawa ndiri pakati pa Wayawudi kumbiti viraa kulawa pakati pa wantu yawawera Wayawudi ndiri.
25 as he says in Hosea, I will call them my people, who are not my people; and her beloved, who is not beloved:
Hangu ndo ntambu yakalonga mushindora sha Hoseya, “Wantu yawawera ndiri waneni Hanuwashemi ‘Wantu waneni.’ Isi yanuyifiriti ndiri Hanuyishemi ‘Mfira gwangu.’
26 and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:
Palii pawagambiritwi, ‘Mwenga mwa wantu waneni ndiri,’ womberi hawashemwi wana wa Mlungu yakalikala.”
27 but Isaiah cries out in behalf of Israel, Though the number of sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu kankubota kuusu Israeli, “Ata handa wantu wa Israeli wawera wavuwa gambira muhanga gwa kumpwani, wavuwa ndiri ndo hawalopoziwi.
28 For perfecting the word and cutting it short, will the Lord do a complete work on the earth:
Mtuwa hakatendi kanongola kutoza kwakuwi kamilika pasipanu poseri.”
29 and as Isaiah has before spoken; Unless the Lord of Sabaoth left to us a seed, we would have become as Sodom, and would have been made like unto Gomorrah:
Ndo gambira pakatakuliti Isaya pamberi, “Handa Mtuwa yakawera na uwezu metulekiriti twenga shiyiwuku wamu, metwizi kuwera gambira lushi lwa Sodoma, metuweri gambira lushi lwa Gomora.”
30 Then what shall we say? That the Gentiles, not pursuing righteousness, received righteousness, and the righteousness which is from faith:
Su twenga tutakula kuwera wantu yawawera wayawudi ndiri, yawalitenda ndiri weni kuwera waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu kupitira ugangamala wawu weni, womberi wawera waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu kupitira njimiru,
31 but Israel, following after the law, did not attain unto the law of righteousness.
kumbiti Wayawudi, yawasakula malagaliru ga kuwatenda waweri waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu, wapata ndiri.
32 Why? Because they sought it not from faith, but as it were from works: they stumbled over the stone of stumbling,
Kwa shishi? Toziya walitumbira matendu gawu pa kutumbira njimiru. Su womberi walikwaliti panani pa “libuwi lya kulikwala.”
33 as has been written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: and he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Ntambu Malembu Mnanagala galonga, “Guloli, hantuli aku Sayuni libuwi lya kuwatenda wantu walikwali, Litalawu haliwatendi wantu waguwi. Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakamjimira yomberi hapeni kasoniziwi.”
