Romans 11
1 I say then, did God cast away His people? Let it not be! For I am also an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:
Bhai ngunabhuya, bhuli a Nnungu bhashikwaakananga bhandunji bhabho? Nng'oo! Pabha nkali nne namwene na Ng'ishilaeli, jwa lukolo lwa a Bhulaimu, kabhila ja a Bhenjamini.
2 God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have you not known—in Elijah—what the Writing says? How he pleads with God concerning Israel, saying,
A Nnungu bhangaakananga bhandunji bhabho bhubhaagulenje kuumila bhukala. Eu nkakugamanyanga Majandiko shigabheleketa ga a Eliya? Shibhashite kwaalugulanga Ishilaeli kwa a Nnungu kuti,
3 “LORD, they killed Your prophets, and they dug down Your altars, and I was left alone, and they seek my life”;
“Mmakulungwa, bhashikwaabhulaganga ashinkulondola bhenu nibhomola itala yenu. Nepeshe nne jikape, numbe bhapinga mulaganga!”
4 but what does the divine answer say to him? “I left to Myself seven thousand men who did not bow a knee to Ba‘al.”
Bhuli a Nnungu bhaajangwileje nndi? “Njikwilepesheya bhandunji elupu shabha bhangatindibhalilanga shanamu sha nnungu ashemwa Bhaali.”
5 So then also in the present time there has been a remnant according to the [divine] selection of grace;
Bhai nneyo peyo nkali agano mobha gano, bhapalinji bhalepekenje bhaagwilwenje kwa nema.
6 and if by grace, no longer of works, otherwise grace becomes no longer grace; and if of works, it is no longer grace, otherwise work is no longer work.
Bhai ibhaga bhaagwilwenje kwa nema, nngabha bhaagwilwenje kwa itendi, na ibhaga bhaagwilwenje kwa itendi, nngabha bhaagwilwenje kwa nema.
7 What then? What Israel seeks after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen obtained, and the rest were hardened,
Igala nndi? Shindu shibhaloleyangaga Ishilaeli shila bhangashipatanga. Bhashipatilenje ni bhaagwilwenje bhala, ikabheje bhananji ninonopeywa mitima.
8 according as it has been written: “God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, to this very day,”
Malinga Majandiko shigalugula, “A Nnungu bhashikwaanonopeyanga mitima jabhonji, Na meyo gabhonji ganalole Na wala makutu gabhonji ganapilikane mpaka lelo.”
9 and David says, “Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a repayment to them;
Na a Daudi gubhashite, “Kalamu yabhonji ibhe lukonji lwya kwaatanjiyanga muyanyata, Na shindu sha kwiikubhala, bhagwanganje ni ukumulwa mboteko.
10 let their eyes be darkened—not to behold, and You always bow down their back.”
Meyo gabhonji gatagwe lubhindu Bhanalolanje. Migongo jabhonji jipinde mobha gowe!”
11 I say then, did they stumble that they might fall? Let it not be! But by their fall the salvation [is] to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;
Bhai ngunabhuya kabhili, bhuli, Bhayaudi bhashinkwiikubhalanga nigwanganga kaje? Ng'oo! Ikabheje kwa lebha kwabhonji, ntapulo uishe ku bhandu bha ilambo ina, nkupinga ashaayene bhakolanje lupimilo.
12 and if their fall [is] the riches of [the] world, and their diminishment the riches of nations, how much more their fullness?
Bhai monaga kulebha kwa Bhayaudi kushibha utajili kushilambolyo na kulebha kwabhonji kushibha utajili ku bhandu bhananji bha ilambo ina, bhuli aki jabhonji nngabha shijibhe utajili gwa punda?
13 For to you I speak—to the nations—inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;
Bhai, ngunabheleketa na mmanganyanji nninginji nngabha Bhayaudi. Pabha nne ntume jwa bhandunji bha ilambo ina, numbe nne ngunakwiiniya ga liengo lyangu,
14 if I will arouse my own flesh to jealousy by any means, and will save some of them,
nkupinga naatendanje ashaalongo ajangu bhammonelanje lupimililo mmanganyanji naatapulanje bhananji munkumbi gwabhonji.
15 for if the casting away of them [is] a reconciliation of the world, what the reception—if not life out of the dead?
Bhai monaga kukanwa kwabhonji kushilundanya bhandunji na a Nnungu, bhuli kuposhelwa kwabhonji shikubhe nndi, ikabhe gumi ku bhawilenje?
16 And if the first-fruit [is] holy, the lump also; and if the root [is] holy, the branches also.
Monaga nnimbu ubhaga gwa ukonjelo, bhai, gakagulago shigabhe ga ukonjelo na litepo libhaga lya ukonjelo na nyambi shiibhe nneyo peyo.
17 And if certain of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree—
Nyambi ina ya misheituni ishelilwe, nipandishila nyambi ya nsheituni nng'itu. Bhai, mmanganyanji nninginji nngabha Bhayaudi, ni lujambi lwa nsheituni nng'itu. Nnaino nnakwiikonjanga utwenje gwa litepo lya nsheituni gwa nshitalu.
18 do not boast against the branches; and if you boast, you do not bear the root, but the root you!
Nnainyegayanje nyambi ishelilwe ila, eu monaga nkuipuna, bhai nkumbushile kuti nngabha mmwe nkujigala litepo, ikabheje litepo ni likunnjigala mmwe.
19 You will say, then, “The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in”; right!
Pana shimmelekete kuti, “Nyambi ila yashinkushelwa nkupinga mbandishilwe nne.”
20 By unbelief they were broken off, and you have stood by faith; do not be high-minded, but be fearing;
Elo! Yashinkushelwa kwa ligongo lya ungakulupalila, ikabheje mmwe nshipandishilwa kwa ligongo lya ngulupai yenu, nnailumbilile ikabhe nnjogope.
21 for if God did not spare the natural branches—lest perhaps He also will not spare you.
Pabha monaga a Nnungu bhangaaleshelelanga Bhayaudi bhalinginji malinga nyambi iyene, bhuli punkuganishiya shibhammonele shiya mmwe?
22 Behold, then, goodness and severity of God—on those indeed who fell, severity; and on you, goodness, if you may remain in the goodness, otherwise, you also will be cut off.
Nnole uguja gwa a Nnungu na shibhakuti kalipa kwa bhaagwanganga, ikabheje bhanguja kwenu mmwe, monaga shinnonjeye muuguja gwabho. Bhai ikabhe nneyo, numbe mmwe shinshelwe.
23 And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again;
Nabhalabhonji Bhayaudi bhalekangaga ungakulupalila gwabhonji, shibhapandishilwanje kabhili. Pabha a Nnungu bhanakombola kwapandishilanga kabhili.
24 for if you, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, were cut out, and contrary to nature, were grafted into a good olive tree, how much rather will they, who [are] according to nature, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Monaga mmanganyanji mwashinkushelwanga kopoka munsheituni nng'itu, gumpandishilwenje munsheituni gwa nshitalu, bhai pangali ukomu ashaayenenji bhashelilwenje, nipandishilwa kabhili munkongo gwabhonji.
25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of this secret—that you may not be wise in your own conceits—that hardness in part to Israel has happened until the fullness of the nations may come in;
Ashaalongo ajangu, nne ngunapinga nshimanyanje ashino shinjubhi shino, nkupinga nnaibhonanje kuti nshikolanga nngomo. Kunonopa kwa mitima ja Ishilaeli pukwaaliji nngabha kwa lonjeya, mpaka bhandunji bha ilambo ina pushibhaamanyanje a Nnungu.
26 and so all Israel will be saved, according as it has been written: “There will come forth out of Zion He who is delivering, and He will turn away impiety from Jacob,
Penepo Ishilaeli bhowe shibhatapulwanje, malinga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo shigataya kuti, “Nkugombola shaishe kopoka ku Shayuni, Shaalushoye lubheleko lwa a Yakobho muilebho yabho.
27 and this to them [is] the covenant from Me when I may take away their sins.”
Gegano ni malagano gangu na bhene bhanganyabho pushinaaleshelelanje yambi yabhonji.”
28 As regards, indeed, the good tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; and as regards the [divine] selection—beloved on account of the fathers;
Bhai kwa ligongo lya Ngani ja Mmbone bhashibhanganga bhamagongo ajenunji, ikabheje ga agulwa kwabhonji bhaapingwanga na a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya asha nakulu bhabhonji bha bhukala.
29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable;
Pabha a Nnungu bhakatendebhuka kwa upo yabho wala nshemo gwabho.
30 for as you also once did not believe in God, and now found kindness by the unbelief of these,
Pabha malinga mmanganyanji bhukala shumwaaleshilenje a Nnungu, ikabheje nnaino bhashikummonelanga shiya kwa ligongo lya lebha kwa Bhaishilaeli.
31 so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness;
Nneyo peyo na Bhaishilaeli bhashilebhanga nkupinga kubhonelwa shiya kwenunji, na bhalabhonji bhabhonelwanje shiya.
32 for God shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness. (eleēsē g1653)
Pabha a Nnungu bhashikwaatabhanga bhandu bhowe muilebho yabhonji, nkupinga bhaabhonelanje shiya bhowe. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
Nnole, shiushite punda upalume gwa lunda na lumanyio lwa a Nnungu! Ukumu yabho jwakwa jwa kombola kwiimanya, wala mipango jabho jwakwa akujimanya!
34 For who knew the mind of the LORD? Or who became His counselor?
Pabha gani aimanyi ng'aniyo ya Bhakulungwa? Eu gani abhapele lunda?
35 Or who first gave to Him, and it will be given back to him again?
Eu gani shakombole kwaapa shindu bhenebho, Nkupinga abhujishiywe kabhili shenesho?
