Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Messiah. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Ruach ha-Kodesh,
Nguŵecheta isyene kuti une ndili jwa Kilisito, ngangusala unami. Nningwa wangu ukuumalanjila umboni kwakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, isyene ngangulambusya.
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
Ngusupuka kwannope ni ndili ni ipwetesi yangamala mu ntima mwangu,
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Messiah for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives according to the flesh,
pakuŵa ngakombwele kupopelela nweseche ni kulekanganywa ni Kilisito kwa ligongo lya achinjangu Ŵaisilaeli, ŵaali lukosyo lumo ni une kwa chiilu.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;
Ŵelewo ali Ŵaisilaeli ŵaŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu aŵe ŵanache ŵao ŵaŵalosisye ukulu wao. Ŵalangene nawo ni kwapa Malajisyo, ŵaalosisye yakuti pakwapopelela ni kwapa ilanga yakwe.
5 of whom are the patriarchs, and from whom is the Messiah, as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ŵanyawo ali isukulu ya achambuje ŵetu, ni kutyochela mu uŵelesi wao, Kilisito ŵapagwile kwa chiilu. Ŵelewo ali Akunnungu ŵakutawala yose, alapikwe moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.
Nganguŵecheta kuti chilanga cha Akunnungu nganichimalila. Pakuŵa nganaŵa Ŵaisilaeli wose ŵaali ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants be called."
Atamuno nganaŵa uŵelesi wose u che Iblahimu ŵaali ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, nambo Akunnungu ŵapele chilanga che Iblahimu achitiji, “Uŵelesi wenu chiutyochele ni che Isaka.”
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
Malumbo gakwe gali, ngaŵa ŵanache ŵaŵapagwile kwa chiilu ni ŵaali ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, nambo aŵala ŵanache ŵaŵapagwile kwa chilanga cha Akunnungu ni ŵachaŵilanjikwe uŵelesi u che Iblahimu.
9 For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
Pakuŵa chilanga chiŵachilanjile Akunnungu ni chelechi, “Katema kakasagulikwe chingaiche, ni che Sala chaligopole mwanache jwannume.”
10 And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by one, our father Isaac.
Ni ngaŵa yeleyo pe, nambo che Lebeka ŵakwete ŵanache ŵaŵili ŵachilume ŵaŵaŵelekwe ni atati ŵamo, ŵaali che Isaka ambuje ŵetu.
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
Pakuŵa akanapagwe maŵila, namose akanatende indu yambone pane yangalumbana, pakuti nningwa wa Akunnungu wa kusagula uwoneche.
12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
Akunnungu ŵansalile che Lebeka, “Jwankulungwa chachintumichila mpwakwe.” Lusagu lwa Akunnungu lukutendekwa malinga ni uŵilanje wakwe ni ngaŵa kwa ipanganyo ya ŵandu.
13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Naanonyele a Yakobo nambo a Esau naachimile.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.
Nipele, ana tujileje uli? Ana Akunnungu ngakulamula yaikuti pakusachilwa? Namuno kanandi!
15 For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
Pakuŵa ŵaasalile che Musa, “Chinjintendela wema jungunsaka kuntendela wema, ni chinjimpililila ajula jungunsaka kumpililila.”
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Nipele, yele yose ikukulupilila chanasa cha Akunnungu ni ngaŵa kwa kuchalila kwa mundu atamuno kwa usache wa mundu.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti yeleyi kwa mwenye jwa ku Misili, “Nanjimiche mme mwenye melepe, kwa litala lya mmwejo nosye machili gangu ni kuti liina lyangu limanyiche pachilambo pose.”
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Kwayele, Akunnungu akunkolela chanasa ajula jwakunsaka nsyene, nombe jwakusaka aŵe jwa kulimba ntima, akunlimbisya.
19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
Pane chimuusye, “Iŵaga ili yele, ana ligongo lyachi Akunnungu akuti ŵandu aleŵile? Pakuŵa ŵaani ŵakukombola kukanilana ni aila yakuisaka Akunnungu?”
20 But who indeed are you, a human being, to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"
Nambo mmwe mundu, ana mmwe nduni junkwajanga Akunnungu? Ana chiŵiga chikukombola kummusya juŵachigumbile, “Kwachichi mung'umbile yeleyi?”
21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
Jwakugumba akukombola kugumba iŵiga iŵili kwa lilongo limo yakuti pakusaka, chiŵiga chimo kwa ligongo lya masengo gakuchimbichikwa ni chine kwa ligongo lya masengo gangachimbichikwa.
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,
Yeleyo ni iyaliji kwa Akunnungu. Ŵasachile kulosya lutumbilo lwao ni kugamanyisya machili gao. Nambo ŵaapililile nnope aŵala ŵandu ŵaŵaŵajilwe kulamulikwa ni lutumbilo lwao, ŵelewo ni ŵaakuŵajilwa konangwa.
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
Sooni ŵasachile aumanyisye winji wa ukulu wao uŵapele aŵala ŵaŵaŵajilwe kupochela chanasa chao, aŵala ŵaŵaŵichikwe chile kalakala apochele ukulu wakwe.
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
Uweji ni ŵatuŵilanjikwe ni jwelejo, ngaŵa kutyochela kwa Ŵayahudi pe nambo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nombe nawo.
25 As he says also in Hosea, "I will call them which were not my people 'my people,' and her who was not loved, 'loved.'"
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala mu chitabu chi che Hosea jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu, “Aŵala ŵangaŵa ŵandu ŵangu, chinaŵilanje, ‘Ŵandu ŵangu.’ Ni aŵala ŵangangwanonyela, ‘Chinanonyele.’
26 "It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'children of the living God.'"
Ni pamalo paŵaŵilanjikwe, ‘Ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵandu ŵangu,’ chaŵilanjikwe ‘Ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ŵajumi.’”
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be kept safe.
Nombe che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu akwakalipila Ŵaisilaeli kuti, “Namose winji wa uŵelesi wa Ŵaisilaeli uli mpela nsanga wa kumbwani, nambo nganatupa ŵachachikulupuswa.
28 For he will fulfill the word and decisively in righteousness, because the Lord will carry out the word decisively in the midst of the earth."
Pakuŵa, Ambuje ngaakaŵa kwalamula ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa.”
29 As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah."
Mpela che Isaya iŵalongolele kusala, “Ambuje ŵa ukombole ngakatulechele uŵelesi wa Ŵaisilaeli, wose tukaawile mpela ŵandu ŵa ku Sodoma, tukalandene ni ŵandu ŵa ku Gomola.”
30 What shall we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
Nipele, ana tujileje uli? Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵanganatenda chindu chachili chose kuti aloleche ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵaloleche ali ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.
Nambo Ŵaisilaeli ŵasosile malajisyo gakatesile aloleche ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa litala lya malajisyo, nganalolecheka ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
Ligongo lyachi nganalolecheka ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu? Pakuŵa ŵasosile kutendekwa ŵambone kwa ipanganyo yao, ngaŵa kwa litala lya chikulupi. Ŵalikuŵele pa “Liganga lya kulikuŵalila.”
33 even as it is written, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock to trip over; and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Nnole chimiche liganga ku Sayuni, lichilyatende ŵandu agwanje, misile lwala luchilwagwisye ŵandu. Nambo juchankulupilile jwelejo, jwelejo ngajaluswa kose.”
