Romans 11
1 I say, then, has God cast off his people? By no means. For, even I am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Hinu, nikota, wu Chapanga avabelili vandu vaki, hati padebe avabelili lepi! Nene mundu wa ku Isilaeli, mjukulu wa Ibulahimu, nihuma mu likabila la Benjamini.
2 God has not cast off his people whom formerly he acknowledged. Do you not know, what the scripture says to Elijah; when he complains to God against Israel, saying,
Chapanga avabelili lepi vandu vaki veavahagwili kutumbula kadeni. Wu msomili lepi Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova kumvala Eliya mweatakili vandu va Isilaeli kwa Chapanga?
3 "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and have digged down thy altars, and I am let alone, and they seek my life?"
Akajova, “BAMBU, vavakomili vamlota va Chapanga voha na kudenya pa lusanja lwa luteta. Nisigalili namwene ndu, navene vigana kunikoma!”
4 But what says the answer to God to him? "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
Wu Chapanga amuyangwili kyani? Amjovili, “Nijivikili vandu elufu saba vangamfugamila Baali, chapanga wa udese.”
5 So, then, even at this present time, there is a remnant according to an election by favor.
Ndi cheyivili hinu vavi vandu vadebe vevasigalili vevahaguliwi na Chapanga kwa ubwina waki.
6 And if by favor, it is no more of works: otherwise favor is no more favor.
Ngati vahaguliwi na Chapanga, uhagula wa Chapanga wihuvalila ubwina waki, lepi matendu gavi. Ngati Chapanga akuvahagula vandu ndava ya matendu gavi, ndi ubwina wa Chapanga wivya lepi wa chakaka.
7 What then? The thing Israel earnestly seeks, that he has not obtained. But the election has obtained it, and the rest are blinded.
Wu hinu? Vandu va Isilaeli vachipatili lepi chindu chevachilondayi, nambu voha vevahaguliwi vachipatili. Vangi vevasigalili vakitiwi kuvya na mitima yeyinonopa,
8 As it is written, "God has given them a spirit of deep sleep; eyes not seeing, and ears not hearing, until this present day."
Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Chapanga akitili luhala lwavi luhiluka, mbaka lelu iyi vihotola lepi kulola kwa mihu gavi amala kuyuwana kwa makutu gavi.”
9 And David says, "Let their table be for a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense to them.
Na Daudi ijova, “Mselebuko wavi uvyayi likoka la kuvayonjola, vagwayi na kubuniwa!
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so as not to see; and let them bow down their back continually.
Mihu gavi gasopewayi chitita vakotoka kulola, migongo yavi yigundamayi kwa kung'ahika magono goha.”
11 I ask, then, have they stumbled, that they may fall? By no means. But, through their fall, salvation is given to the Gentiles, to excite them to emulation.
Hinu nikota kavili, wu Vayawudi vajikuvili hati kufwa? Hati padebe! Ndava ya kubuda kwavi usangula uvabwelili vandu vangali Vayawudi, muni Vayawudi vavawonela wihu.
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 fullness?
Kubuda kwa Vayawudi kuletili mota yamahele pamulima, na kupungukiwa kwa sadika yavi, kuletili mota yamahele kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi. Ndi ngati Vayawudi vihenga gala geigana Chapanga hinu yati vileta mota yamahele neju.
13 Now, I speak to you, Gentiles, (and inasmuch as I am the Apostle to the Gentiles, I do honor to my ministry, )
Hinu nijova na nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi. Muni nene namtumi kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi, nimekela lihengu langu.
14 if by any means I may excite to emulation my kindred, and may save some of them.
Kwa huvalila nihotola kuvakita Vayawudi vayangu vavawonelayi wihu nyenye, muni nipatayi kuvasangula Vayawudi pagati yavi.
15 For, if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world; what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
Ndava muni ngati Vayawudi chevabeleliwi ndi vandu voha va pamulima vitepulaniswa na Chapanga. Hinu ndi chakaka kuvya kuyidakiliwa kwavi na Chapanga yati kwivya ngati kwileta wumi kwa vala vevafwili!
16 Moreover, if the first fruit be holy, the mass is also holy; and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Ngati chipandi cha kutumbula cha libumunda livikiwi kwa Chapanga, mewawa libumunda loha livikiwi kwa Chapanga, mikiga ya mikongo yikavikiwayi kwa Chapanga mewawa matutu gaki givikiwa kwa Chapanga.
17 Now, if some of the branches were broken off, and you who are a wild olive, are ingrafted among them, and are become a joint partaker of the root and fatness of the olive;
Matutu gangi ga mzeituni weupandiwi kumgunda gadumuliwi, ndi pahala paki lapandiwi litutu la mizeituni la kudahi. Nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi mwiwanangana na mzeitini wa kudahi, hinu mwihanganila wumi wa chimpungu wa Vayawudi.
18 boast not against the branches: but if you boast, still, you bear not the root, but the root you.
Hinu, mkoto kuvavevesa vala vevadumuliwi ngati matutu! Hinu mwihotola wuli kumekela? Mmanya kuvya ndi lepi nyenye mwemukukamulila mikiga, nambu mikiga yikuvakamulila nyenye.
19 You will say, however, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Nambu yati mwijova, “Matutu gadumuliwi ndava muni nene nipandikiziwi pandu paki.”
20 True: by unbelief they were broken off, and you by faith, stand. Be not high-minded, but fear.
Chabwina! Gadumuliwi ndava muni gangasadika, nambu veve utamili pandu pavi ndava usadiki. Nambu kotoka kumeka, nambu uvyai na wogohi.
21 For, if God spared not the natural branches; perhaps, neither will he spare you.
Ngati Chapanga avakitili lepi lipyana Vayawudi ndi vevavili ngati matutu ga mkongo wenuwo, wu uholalela yati akuhengela lipyana veve?
22 Behold, then, the goodness and severity of God! Toward them who fell, severity: but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise, you also shall be cut off.
Hinu mlola ubwina na ukali wa Chapanga. Mwene ndi mkali kwa vala vevagwili, nambu ndi mbwina kwa vala veviyendelela kutama muubwina waki, nambu ngati lepi na veve yati udumuliwa.
23 And even they, if they continued not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
Na Vayawudi mewawa vakasadikayi yati vipandwa kangi, muni Chapanga anauhotola wa kuvapandikisa kangi.
24 For if you were cut off from the olive, by nature wild, and were contrary to nature, grafted into the good olive; how much rather shall those who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive?
Nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi, mwiwanangana litutu la mzeituni wa kudahi, nambu muwusiwi kwenuko, na mupandizwi pamzeituni weupandiwi. Lijambu lenilo ndi mumbele ya cheyiyovalili kukula kwa mikongo. Nambu Vayawudi mwiwanangana na mzeituni weupandiwi mumgunda, yati yivya yeywa kwa Chapanga kugapanda matutu gegadumuliwi mu mkongo waki wene.
25 For, brethren, that you may not be, wise in your own conceits, I would not have you ignorant of this secret, that blindness, in part, has happened to Israel, till the fullness of the Gentiles come in.
Valongo vangu, nigana mmanyayi uchakaka uwu weufiyiki, mkotoka kulola kuvya mna luhala neju. Ndindani ya vandu va Isilaeli yavili kwa lukumbi ndu, mbaka vandu voha vangali Vayawudi veviganikiwa vambwelelayi Chapanga.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written, "The deliverer shall come out of Zion, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Penapo ndi vandu va Isilaeli pevisanguliwa, ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Msangula yati ibwela kuhuma Siyoni, yati akuuwusa uhakau wa chiveleku cha Yakobo.
27 For this is my covenant with them, when I shall take away their sins."
Lenili ndi lilaganu lenikita nawu, lukumbi penikuvalekekesa mabudilu gavi.”
28 With respect to the gospel, indeed, they are enemies, on your account: but with respect to the election, they are beloved on account of the fathers.
Ndava Vayawudi vabelili Lilovi la Bwina, ndava vene vavi makoko va Chapanga nambu ndava ya chiyonjokesu chinu nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi. Nambu ndava muhaguliwi, Chapanga akona akuvagana ndava ya vagogo vavi.
29 For the free gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Muni Chapanga ibadili lepi maholo gaki kwa vala veavahagwili na kuvamotisa.
30 Besides, as you, in times past, have disobeyed God, yet now have obtained mercy through their disobedience;
Kadeni nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi mwabeli kumuyidakila Chapanga, nambu hinu avahengili lipyana ndava ya kumyidakila kwa Vayawudi.
31 even so these, also, have no disobeyed, that through your mercy, they also may obtain mercy.
Mewawa, ndava ya kuvahengela lipyana nyenye, na vene Vayawudi vakumyidakila lepi Chapanga, muni na vene mewa vahengewayi lipyana na Chapanga.
32 For God has shut up together all for disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all. (eleēsē g1653)
Muni Chapanga avakitili vandu voha kuvya vakungiwa vangamyidakila muni avahengela lipyana vandu voha. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh that depth of the riches and of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Umahele wa Chapanga ndi mvaha neju na luhala lwaki luvaha neju, kumanya kwaki kuvaha. Yani mweimanya cheihamula? Yani mweimanya njila zaki.
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? or who has been his counsellor?
Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, yani mwamanyili maholo ga BAMBU? “Yani mweihotola kumjovela chindu cha kukita?
35 or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
Yani mweilongolela kumpela Chapanga chindu kangi Chapanga amuwuyasilayi?”
