< Romans 11 >
1 I ask then, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Su nkosiya, hashi, Mlungu kawalema wantu wakuwi? Ndala! Namweni neni Namwisraeli, mwiwuka gwa Aburahamu, yandawa muwukowu wa Benjamini.
2 God did not reject his people, which he foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
Mlungu kawalemiti ndiri wantu wakuwi, yakawasyaguliti kwanjira kwanja. Muvimana Mumalembu Mananagala ntambu galonga Eliya pakamlalamikiyiti Mlungu kuusu Israeli.
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
“Mtuwa, womberi wawalaga wambuyi waku na kubomolanga shitalawanda shaku sha kutambikira, neni gweka yangu hera nsigala na womberi wankunsakula kundaga.”
4 But how does God answer him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand people, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
Hashi, Mlungu kamwankuliti shishi? Yomberi kawankuliti, “Nulitulira namweni wantu elufu saba hawenimsuntamalira mlungu Baali.”
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Ndo ntambu yayiwera shipindi ashi vinu, kwana wantu wavuwa yagasigaliti, Mlungu kawasyaguliti toziya ya manemu gakuwi.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Usyagula wakuwi ulawirana na manemu gakuwi, kumbiti matendu gawu ndiri. Handa usyagula wa Mlungu menulitumbiri matendu ga wantu, manemu gakuwi megaweri manemu ndiri.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Hashi vinu? Wantu wa Israeli wapatiti ndiri shilii shashiweriti wankushisakula, kumbiti woseri yawasyagulitwi washipatiti. Myoyu ya wamonga iweriti ikamala.
8 According as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.
Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalembwa, “Mlungu kayitenda myoyu yawu kuwera ikamala, Mpaka leru womberi masu gawu gaweza ndiri kuwona na makutu gawu gaweza ndiri kupikinira.”
9 David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
Na Dawudi katakuliti, “Misambu yawu ziweri vyambiru vya kuwagomiziya, waguwi na womberi watozwi!
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and their backs be bent continually."
Masu gawu gaweri na luwindu, hapeni wawezi kuwona, na migongu yawu imindiki kwa kutabika mashaka goseri!”
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Absolutely not. But by their fall salvation has come to the non-Jews, to provoke them to jealousy.
Su nkosiya, hashi, Wayawudi walikwala mpaka wagamira nakamu? Ndala! Kulawirana na likosa lyawu, ulopoziya uwawizira wantu yawawera Wayawudi ndiri, kuwatenda Wayawudi wawawoneri weya womberi.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the non-Jews; how much more their fullness?
Vidoda vya Wayawudi vitenda matekeleru gavuwa pasipanu na uhushu wa shirohu kwawu ujega matekeleru gavuwa kwa wantu yawawera Wayawudi ndiri. Shakapanu ukamilika wa Wayawudi haujegi matekeleru gavuwa nentu.
13 For I speak to you who are the non-Jews. Since then as I am an apostle to the non-Jews, I glorify my ministry;
Su vinu nankutakula kwa mwenga wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi. Shipindi shoseri neni wera ntumintumi kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, nulitumbira lihengu lyaneni,
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
mpati kuwatenda wanalushi wayagu wawawoneri weya na mpati kuwalopoziya wamu wawu.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Womberi pawamlemiti Mlungu, wantu woseri wamonga yawaweriti wangondu wa Mlungu, womberi waweriti waganja wakuwi. Hashi, hayiweri ntambu hashi shipindi womberi pawajimilwa? Su wantu yawahowiti hawazyuki!
16 If the first part is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Handa shipandi sha kwanja sha libumunda shatumpananiti Mlungu, shakapanu libumunda lyoseri liwera lya Mlungu. Handa mishigira ya mtera payiwera miherepa, mitambi yakuwi iwera miherepa viraa.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree;
Mitambi yamu ya mizeyituni mushiwunga idumulitwi, lutambi lwa mizeyituni lya kuntundu liyalitwi pahala pawaliwusiyiti lutambi. Mwenga wantu yawawera ndiri wayawudi mulifana na lutambi lwa mizeyituni lya kuntundu na vinu mtenda pamuhera mumakaliru gagangamala ga shirohu ga Wayawudi.
18 do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
Su namuwazarawu walii yawadumulitwi gambira mitambi. Hashi, gwenga guweri na mtiti? Gwenga gwa lutambi, guitanga ndiri mishigira, kumbiti mishigira ikutanga gwenga.
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
Kumbiti hagutakuli, “Yina, kumbiti mitambi idumulwa kuusu neni kutenderwa shumbakati.”
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
Ndo nakaka. Womberi wadumulitwi toziya wajimiriti ndiri, shipindi pagusigara pahala palii toziya gwenga gujimiri. Naguwera mtiti, kumbiti gumtili Mlungu.
21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Payiwera Mlungu kawonera ndiri lusungu Wayawudi weni ndo gambira ntambi zya kwanjira, hashi gulihola hakakwoneri lusungu gwenga?
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Guliholi, su Mlungu ntambu yakawera muheri na mkalipa, yomberi kakalipa kwa walii yawaguwiti na muheri kwa gwenga payiwera pagwendereya mumuheri yakuwi. Handa pagwendereya ndiri, viraa gwenga hagudumulwi.
23 They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Na wayawudi ntambu iraayi, pawaleka ukondola wawu wa moyu, hawayoshikerwi kayi, toziya Mlungu kana uwezu wa kuwayoshikera kayi.
24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Mwenga wantu yamuwera Wayawudi ndiri, mulifana gambira lutambi lwa mizeyituni ntundu lyalidumulitwi, kumbiti myoshikerwi mumizyeyituni mushiwunga, pahala peni ndo paasili penu ndiri. Wayawudi kwa ntambu ndo gambira mizeyituni ya shiwunga, hashiweri shitwatira laisi nentu kwawu, Mlungu kuwayoshikera kayi mumtera gwawu.
25 For I do not desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the non-Jews has come in,
Waganja wangu, nfira muvimani unakaka yawulififiti namwiza kuliwona muwera na mahala nentu. Umsindu wa Wayawudi uweriti wa katepu hera, mpaka wantu wa Isi zimonga pawafira kuwera wamwizira Mlungu.
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Na hangu ndo ntambu Israeli hayilopoziwi. Ntambu Malembu Mananagala galembwa, Mlopoziya hakizi kulawa Sayuni na hakauwusiyi ukondola wa shiyiwuku sha Yakobu.
27 This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
Hantendi lipatanu lyaneni na womberi panuviwusiya vidoda vyawu.
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake.
Toziya washilema Shisoweru Shiwagira, Wayawudi wawera wangondu wa mwenga wantu yamuwera Wayawudi ndiri. Toziya ya usyagula wa Mlungu, womberi ndo waganja wakuwi toziya ya wambuyi wawu.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Mlungu kagalambula ndiri maholu gakuwi kwa walii yawasyagulitwi na kutekelerwa.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Pamakashu mwenga mumlemiti Mlungu, kumbiti vinu muwanka lusungu lya Mlungu, toziya Wayawudi walemiti kumjimira Mlungu.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may now also obtain mercy.
Ntambu iraa ayi kulawirana na lusungu lwampatiti mwenga, Wayawudi vinu wamlema Mlungu, su womberi viraa wawanki lusungu lwa Mlungu.
32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all. (eleēsē )
Mlungu kawatatira wantu woseri muukondora wawu su kapati kuwawonera lusungu wantu woseri. (eleēsē )
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God. How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out.
Ulunda na luhala na mahala ga Mlungu ndo makulu nentu! Hashi, gaa yakaweza kugatakulira matakulika gakuwi? Hashi, gaa yakaweza kuyimana njira yakuwi?
34 For "Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
Malembu Mananagala ntambu galembwa, “Hashi, gaa yakagamana maholu ga Mtuwa? Hashi, gaa yakaweza kuwera mshauli gwakuwi?
35 "Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
Hashi, gaa yakamupananiti Mlungu shintu shoseri, su kamlipi kayi shintu ashi?”
36 For from him and by him and in him are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Toziya vintu vyoseri viumbitwi na mweni, vintu vyoseri viwera kupitira mweni na viwera kwa mweni. Ukwisa guweri kwakuwi mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (aiōn )
