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.
pe niti, neke uNguluve alyavakanile avaanhu vake? nambe padebe. ulwakuva najune kange nili mwiSilaeli ghwa kikolo kya Abulahamu, ghwa kikolo kya 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,
UNguluve nalyavakanile avaanhu vake, vano alyavamanyile kuhuma mu vwandilo. pe namukagula ililembe liti kiki kuhusu uEliya, ndavule alyansumile uNguluve kyanya ja Silaeli?
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Ntua vabudile avavili vako vope vanyemwile ilitekelo lyako. nijighe ene ne mwene, vope vinoghua uvwumi vwango”.
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.
neke ulwamulo lwa Nguluve luti kiki kuveene? “nivike vwimila jango avaanhu imbilima lekela lubale vano navikumfughamila uBaali”.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
nambe lino unsiki ughu ghwa lino kange kwevale vano vasighile vwimila vusalusi vwa vumosi.
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.
neke nave vwe vumosi, sio kange kumaghendele,
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
pe kiki? imbombo jino uIsilaeli alyale ilonda nakakyaghile looli havakemelua vakakyagha, navange vakaponesevua uvusito.
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.
ndavule jilyalembilue: “'uNguluve avapelile umwoojo ghwa ghano naghilila neke valekaghe kulola, ni mbughulutu neke navangapulikaghe kuhanga umusyughi iji.”
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
ghwope uDavidi iti, “leka imesa save sive vwafu, lutengo, lubale lwa kukuvala, na kuhombekesia uluhombo kuvene.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
leka aamaso ghaponekesivue ing'iisi neke vakunue kulola. ukaghaghunamisie amasana ghave ifighono fyoni”
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.
pe nijova, “pe vakuvile nambe kughua?” nalungavisaghe nahele ifighono fyoni. pepano kwa kukunua kuveene, uvuvangi vufikile ku iisi, neke vavuo vaponekesivue uvwifu
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?
lino nave kukunua kwave vwe vumofu vwa iisi, pe kalingi pwevuli uvukamilifu kwave kukila.
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
na lino nijova numue mwevaanhu va pa iisi. ulwakuva muli vasung'ua va vaanhu va iisi isinge, nikujighinia mu mbombole jango inofu.
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might save some of them.
ndeponu nikuvaponia uvwifu ku vano valim'bili ghumo nune. pamo ndeponu tukuvapoka vamonga.
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?
ulwakuva nave kukanilua kwave ghe mapuling'ano gha pa iisi, pe luvisagha ndani kukwupilua kwave, looli vwumi kuhuma ku vafue?
16 For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.
nave imheke isa kwanda sa kuvikilisia, pe jilivuo inonge ja vutine. nave ghuvikilisia amalela na gha matafi vulevule.
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;
neke nave amatafi ghadumulivue ndavule uve, ilitafi lya museituni ghukavwalilue mu vamonga, nave ulyavombile palikimo na vavo mu malela gha vumofu vwa mseituni,
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
nungajighiniaghe ku matafi neke nave ghukughinia na veve ghwejuno ghukughatanga amalela, looli amalela ghikukutanga uve.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
pe ghuliti, “amatafi ghakadumulivue neke nipate uvwalua mu limela”.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
lino pe lweli vwimila kuleka kukwitika kwave vakadumulivue, neke uve ukimile ku lukangafu lwa lwitiko lwako. nungajisaghile juve ghwemwene mu lywa kwighinia kyongo, looli oghopagha.
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
ulwakuva nave uNguluve nakaghalekila amatafi gha vutengulilo kange nailikusaghila najuve.
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.
lola himbe amaghendele amaagholofu nu vukali vwa Nguluve. ku lubale lumo, uvukali vulyisile kyanya ja vaYahudi vano valyaghwile. neke kulubale ulunge uvugholofu vwa Nguluve vukwisa kulyuve, nave ghukukala mu vugholofu vwake. nave na uluo najuve vikukubudila kutali.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
nave avene navighendelela kuleka kukwitika vivyalilila kange. ulwakuva uNguluve aliningufu sa kuvwavyala kange.
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?
ulwakuva nave umue mukadumulivue kunji ndavule umseituni ghwa mulisoli ughwa muvutengulilo, pe kusyetuka na kuvyalua mumseituni ghuno nono, nakwekukila kyongo ava Yahudi, vano hwene matafi gha muvutengulilo ghano ndeponu ghivwalua kange nkate ja mseituni gwave vene?
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.
ulwakuva vanyalukolo nanilonda muleke kukagula sino sifisime neke kuuti namungavisaghe vakoola kwa kusagha kwinu jumue. ulufiso ulu kwe kuuti ulutalamu luhumile ku Isilaeli kuhanga kukamilika kwa iisi kyale kwisile.
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:
lino avasilarli voni vilipokua ndavule jalembilue, “kuhuma ku saYuni ilikwisa uMpoki ivusia uvuhosi kuhuma ku Yakovo.
27 For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
nili liiva lipuling'ano palikimo navo, unsiki ghuno kyale nikusivusia isambi save”.
28 As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
ku lubale lumo kujova isa livangili vwimila jinu. ku lubale ulunge kuhumilanila nu vutavusi vwa Nguluve, vaghanilue vwimila avaghogholo,
29 For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance.
ulwakuva ilitekelo nuvukemelo lwa Nguluve nalubadilika.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
ulwakuva muvwasio umue mulyamuhokile uNguluve, neke lino mwupile ulusungu vwimila uvuhosi kwave.
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
ku sila jijijio lino avayahudi ava vahokile. amahumile ghake kwekuuti kuhumila mulusungu luno mulyapelilue umue ndeponu kange mukwupila ulusungu,
ulwakuva uNguluve avapinyile avaanhu vooni ku vuhosi neke awesie kukuvasaghila voni. (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!
ndavule silivuo mbaha uvomofu nu vukoola nu luhala lwa Nguluve! nasiloleka inyigho sake na kusila sa mwene nasiloleka!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
ulwakuva ghwe veni juno ikagula uvufumbue vwa Mutwa? nambe ghwe veni umuvungi ghwake?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
neke ghweveni juno ampelile kimonga uNguluve, neke ahombue kange?
