Romans 11
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin.
Nipele, nguusya, ana Akunnungu ŵakanile ŵandu ŵakwe? Ngwamba! Uneji nansyene ndili Mwisilaeli jwa uŵelesi u che Iblahimu ni jwa lukosyo lu che Benyamini.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Akunnungu nganiŵakana ŵandu ŵakwe ŵaŵasagwile chitandile kundanda. Nkukumbuchila yagakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu nkati che Elia, katema paŵalalatile Ŵaisilaeli paujo pa Akunnungu?
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Ŵatite, “Ambuje, ŵauleje ŵakulondola ŵenu ni kugumula ilisa yenu, noneji sigalile jika. Ni ŵanyawo akuusosa amulaje.”
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of] Baal.
Nambo Akunnungu ŵanjanjile uli? Ŵansalile, “Nalisigachisye ŵandu elufu saba ŵaŵakanile kuntindiŵalila Baali nnungu jwa unami.”
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Ni iyoyo peyo katema ka sambano kano, apali ŵandu kanandi ŵasigalile ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu ligongo lya umbone wao.
6 And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Lusagu lwa Akunnungu lukukulupilila umbone wakwe, ni ngiiŵa kwa ipanganyo ya ŵandu, iŵaga Akunnungu akwasagula ŵandu kwa litala lya ipanganyo yao, nipele umbone wakwe ngaukaŵe umbone wa usyene.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Nipele, itite uli? Chindu chiŵachisosaga Ŵaisilaeli nganachisimana, nambo aŵala ŵaŵasagulikwe ŵachisimene, ni ŵane ŵaŵasigalile wo Akunnungu ŵatesile aŵe ŵakukakatima ntima.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; ) unto this day.
Mpela yaitite kulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Akunnungu ŵaapele lunda lwangamanyilila, ŵaapele meeso nambo ngakulola ni ŵaapele mawiwi nambo ngakupilikana mpaka lelo jino.”
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Ni che Daudi akuti, “Chindimba chao chiŵe chitanje chakwatanjisya, agwanje ni kulagaswa.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
Meeso gao gatajikwe chipi kuti akalola ni migongo jao jipindiche moŵa gose.”
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Nipele, nguusya sooni, ana Ŵayahudi alikuŵele kwichila kugwa kusyene? Ngwamba! Nambo kwa chileŵo cha Ŵayahudi, ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi waichilile ukulupusyo, kuti Ŵayahudi ŵakolele wiu.
12 Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Kuleŵa kwa Ŵayahudi kuichisye upile weujinji pachilambo, ni kupunguchilwa kwao kwa chikulupi kuichisye upile weujinji kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Ana ngakukuichisya upile wakupunda nnope katema Ŵayahudi wose pachiŵaujilile Akunnungu?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Sambano, nguŵecheta ni mwanya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Pakuŵa uneji ndili nduna kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ngulilapila masengo gangu.
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might save some of them.
Pane chingombole kwatenda Ŵayahudi akole wiu kuti ngombole kwakulupusya ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo.
15 For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
Pakuŵa iŵaga kukanikwa kwao ni Akunnungu kuichisye kwilana pasikati ja Akunnungu ni ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo, isyene pachakundikwe ni Akunnungu chikuŵe mpela kuichisya umi kwa ŵandu ŵawile.
16 For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.
Naga chipande chandanda cha nkate chityochekwe ligongo lya Akunnungu, nkate chiuŵe wakwe iyoyo peyo, ni nchiga watyochekwaga ligongo lya Akunnungu, nipele nyambi syakwe chisiŵe syakwe iyoyo peyo.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Nyambi simpepe sya mseituni wepande syekate ni lujambi lwa mseituni wa mwitinji upandichikwe pachanya chitela cha mseituni wepande. Ŵanyamwe ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nkulandana ni mseituni wa mwitinji, sambano nkupoka umi wa chimbumu wa Ŵayahudi.
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Kwayele kasimwajalusya aŵala ŵakatikwe mpela nyambi. Ŵanyamwe nganinkola chakulifunila, pakuwa nganimma ŵanyamwe ŵankujikamulila michiga, nambo michiga jo ni jajikunkamulila ŵanyamwe.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Panepa chinjile, “Nyambi syakatikwe melepe kuti une ngapandichikwe pachanya pakwe.”
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Mwambone! Syakatikwe kwaligongo lya ungakulupilila wao ni mmwejo ntemi pamalo pao kwaligongo lya kukulupilila. Sambano nkalifuna nambo njogope.
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
Pakuŵa iŵaga Akunnungu nganiŵalechelela Ŵayahudi ŵakulandana ni nyambi sisyene, ana Akunnungu channechelele mmwe?
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Nipele, nganichisye yankati umbone wa Akunnungu ni chikali chao nombe nacho. Ŵelewo ali ŵachikali kwa aŵala ŵagwile nambo ŵelewo ali ŵambone kwa aŵala ŵakutama mu umbone wao. Naga ngaŵa yele, nomwe ŵakwe tachintyosya.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Ni Ŵayahudi nombe nawo alekaga ungakulupilila wao chapandichikwe peuto paŵaliji kundanda, pakuŵa Akunnungu akupakombola kwapandichisya sooni.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own olive tree?
Ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nkulandana ni lujambi lwa mseituni wa mwitinji lwekate ni kupandichikwa pa mseituni waupandikwe. Nambo chelechi nganichiŵa chindu chachipago. Ŵayahudi akulandana ni mseituni wepande ni chiiŵe yangasakalisya kwa Akunnungu kupandichisya sooni nyambi sisyakatikwe pa chitela chao cha chipago.
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Achalongo achinjangu ngusaka mmanyilile usyene wausisiche, nambo ngusaka mmanyilile kuti nkalilapa nkwete lunda nnope. Makani ga Ŵaisilaeli galiji ga katema pe mpaka ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi wose ŵakusachilwa pachiŵaujilile Akunnungu.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Pelepo Ŵaisilaeli wose chakulupuswe mpela yaitite pakulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Mu Sayuni chachityochela nkulupusyo chachichityosya chigongomalo pasikati ja uŵelesi u che Yakobo.
27 For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Lyeleli lili lilangano lyangu lichindende ni ŵelewo katema pachinaalechelesye sambi syao.”
28 As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
Pakuŵa akujikana Ngani Jambone, Ŵayahudi aŵele ŵammagongo ŵa Akunnungu nambo kwa kupoka kwenu ŵanyamwe ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Nambo pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaasagwile, chiŵela Akunnungu akwanonyela kwa ligongo lya achambuje ŵao.
29 For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakugalausya nganisyo syao kwa aŵala ŵaŵasagwile ni kwapa upile.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Kalakala ko ŵanyamwe nganimwajitichisya Akunnungu nambo sambano ankolele chanasa ŵanyamwe ligongo lya ungapilikanichisya wa Ŵayahudi.
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Iyoyo peyo mpela ŵanyamwe yantite pakukolelwa chanasa, Ŵayahudi nombewo ngakwajitichisya Akunnungu melepe kuti nombewo akolelwe chanasa.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaatesile ŵandu wose aŵe ŵangajitichisya kuti ŵakolele chanasa ŵanawose. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Ipanje ya Akunnungu ni lunda ni umanyilisi wao ili yekulungwa kupunda! Ngapagwa jwakupakombola kusosasosa ulamusi wao natamuno kugamanyilila matala gao.
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Ana ŵaani ŵakusimanyilila ng'anisyo sya Ambuje? Ana ŵaani uchiŵasalile chakupanganya?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Ana ŵaani ŵalongolele kwapa Akunnungu chindu kuti ni ŵelewo ŵauchisye?”
