Romans 9
1 I say the truth in the Messiah, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,
Enaika echimali mu Kristo. Nitakwaika lulimi, no mutima gwani ogumbambalila amwi nanye mu Mwoyo Mwelu,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
ati bhulio obhusulumbae bwafu no bhunyoke bhunu bhutakuwamo mu Mwoyo gwani.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from the Messiah for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Ati anye nakendele omwene nifumilisibhwe no kutaganywa koleleki nibhe kula na Kristo ingulu ya bhaili bhanu, bhaliya abho luganda lwani mu mubhili.
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the promises;
Bhenene ni Bhaisraeli. bhanu bhali no kukoleka bhana, bha likusho lya malagano, ne bhiyanwa bhye bhilagilo, okumulamya Nyamuanga ne emilago.
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh the Messiah came, who is over all, YHWH blessed for ever. (aiōn g165)
Bhenene ni bhanu bhanu bhatangatile bhanu Kristo ejile mu chibhalo no kufwala omubhili gunu- gunu omwene ni Nyamuanga wa bhona. Mwene asimwe kajanende. Amina. (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of YHWH hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Mbe nawe atali ati emilago ja Nyamuanga jasingilwe okukumila. Kulwo kubha atali ati bhuli munu unu ali Israeli ni Mwiisraeli koto.
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Atali nolwo mu lwibhulo lwa Abrahamu ati ni bhana bhae koto. Mbe nawe, “ni kulabha ku lwibhulo lwa Isaka wae olubhilikilwa.”
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of YHWH: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Jinu na ati, abhana bho mubhili bhatali bhana bha Nyamuanga. Mbe nawe abhana bho mulago abhalolelelwa kuti ni lwibhulo.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
Kulwo kubha gunu nigwo omusango gwo mulago: “Mu mwanya kuti gunu enija, na Sara kajo kuyanwa omwana.”
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Litali linu-ela, nawe okumala Rebheka nabhona inda ku munu umwi, Isaka Lata weswe-
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of YHWH according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; )
ati abhana bhaliga bhachali lwibhulo na aliga achali kukola musango gwona gwona gunu guli mukonde amwi mubhibhi, koleleki ati okwenda kwa Nyamuanga okulubhana no bhusosi limelegulu, nolwo atali kulwe bhikolwa, mbe nawe ni kwa insonga ya uliya unu kabhilikila.
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Jaikilwe ku mwene, “Omukulu alimukolela omutoto.”
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Lwa kutyo jeishe nijandikwa: “Yakobho namwendele, mbe nawe Esau namubhiililiywe.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with YHWH? By no means.
Mbe lindi chije chaikeki? Angu bhulio obhunyamuke ku Nyamuanga? Uli nakatyali.
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Kulwo kubha kaika ku. Musa, “Enibha ne chigongo kuyo unu enifwilwa chigongo, na enibha no bhusasisi. kuyo enisasila.”
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of YHWH that sheweth mercy.
Kulwejo woli, atali kunsonga yo mwene unu Kenda, nolwo atali kunsonga yo mwene unu kabhilima, mbe nawe kunsonga ya Nyamuanga unu kelesha echigongo
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Kulwo kubha amaandiko agaika ku Farao, “ku nsonga inu abhwelu nakwauye, koleleki ati neleshe amanaga gani kwae, kunsonga ati lisina lyani likumusibhwe mu chalo chona.”
18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Kwibhyo woli, Nyamuanga kabhaga ane chigongo ku wona wona unu Kenda, na ku unu kamwenda, kamukola kubha mutamu-tamu.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Okumala oujo okwaika kwanye, “Kulwaki uchali niwelesha obhunyamuke? Ni uya unu eile okwikomesha mu kwenda kwae?”
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against YHWH? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Mu bhutasikene bhwae, omwana munu, awe nawega unu ousubhya mu bhutasikene na Nyamuanga? Bhulio obhutulikano bhwona bhwona mu chinu chinu chimogelwe okwaika ku mumogi, “Kulwaki wankolele kutya anye?”
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Angu omumogi one kabhaga ne chimali ingulu ya limoga okukolwa echinu kwo kuchikolela okulubhana na litole lilya lilya, ne chinu chinu kwo kuchikolela bhuli lusiku?
22 What if YHWH, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Kutiki alabha Nyamuanga, unu ali mu bhwangu bhwo kwelesha lisungu lyae no kukola amanaga gae gamenyekane, ekomesishe kwo kwigumilisha kutyo bhiile ku bhinu bhya lisungu kubhinu bhaliga bhilabhile kwo kusimagisha?
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Kutiki alabha akolele kutya koleleki ati eleshe obhwafu bhwa likusho lyae ingulu ye bhinu bhye chigongo, lwa kutyo aliya elabhile ingulu ya likusho?
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Kutiki alabha akolele gunu one kweswe, unu one achibhilikie, atali ati okusoka mu Bhayaudi, nawe one okusoka ku bhanu bha Maanga?
25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Lwakutyo Kaila one mu Hosea: “Enibhabhilikila abhanu bhani bhanu bhaliga bhatali bhanu bhani, no mwendwa wae unu aliga atakwendibhwa.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living Elohim.
Na ejibha ati aliya anu jaikilwe ku bhene, 'emwe mutali bhanu bhani,' Aliya bhalibhilikilwa 'Bhana bha Nyamuanga unu alamile.'”
27 Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Isaya kalila okulubhana na Abhaisraeli, “Nolwo obhukumi bhwa bhana bha Israeli bhwakabhee lwo musenyi gwa ku mwalo, one obhubha bhuli bhusago bhunu obhukisibhwa.
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will YHWH make upon the earth.
Kulwo kubha Latabhugenyi aligugega omusago gwae ingulu ye chalo, bhwangu na kwo kukumisha.
29 And as Isaiah said before, Except YHWH Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
Na lwakutyo Isaya aikile mu bhambilo, “Latabhugenyi we bhise atachisigie inyuma olwibhulo ingulu yeswe, chakabhae lwa Sodoma, na cha kakolelwe lwa Gomola.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
Mbe echaikaki woli? Ati abhanu bha Maanga bhanu bhaliga bhatakuyeja bhulengelesi, bhabhwene obhulengelesi, obhulengelesi mu kwikilisha.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Nawe omuisraeli, unu ayenjaga ebhilagilo mu bhulengelesi, ataikingiye.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Kulwaki jitali kutyo? Kunsonga bhataiyenjele mu kwikilisha, nawe kwe ebhikolwa bhekujuye ingulu ya libhui elyo kwikujula,
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Lwa kutyo jaliga jamalile okwandikwa, “Lola, nimamishe libhui elyo kwikujula mu Sayuni na litale elyo kuyabhya. Mwenene unu kekilisha mu lunu ataliswala.”
