Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Messiah. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Ruach ha-Kodesh,
Ndinotaura chokwadi muna Kristu, handinyepi, hana yangu ichipupurirana neni muMweya Mutsvene,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
kuti ndinoshushikana kwazvo, neshungu dzisingaperi mumoyo mangu.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Messiah for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives according to the flesh,
Nokuti ndaishuva kuti ini ndomene nditukwe kuna Kristu nekuda kwehama dzangu, verudzi rwangu panyama;
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;
vari VaIsraeri, vane kuitwa vana, nekubwinya, nesungano, nekupiwa kwemurairo, neushumiri hwaMwari, nezvivimbiso,
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)
madzibaba ndeavo, naKristu wakabva kwavari panyama, ari pamusoro pezvese, Mwari anokudzwa narinhi. Ameni. (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.
Asi kwete shoko raMwari serakakundikana. Nokuti havasi vese vakabva kuna Israeri, vari VaIsraeri;
7 Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants be called."
kwete nokuti imbeu yaAbhurahama, vese vana; asi zvinonzi: Kuna Isaka ndiko kuchadanwa mbeu yako.
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.
Ndiko kuti, havasi vana venyama, ivo vari vana vaMwari; asi vana vechivimbiso vanoverengerwa kumbeu.
9 For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
Nokuti iri ishoko rechivimbiso rinoti: Nenguva ino ndichauya, uye Sara achava nemwanakomana.
10 And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by one, our father Isaac.
Handizvo chete, asi naRibheka wakati ava nemimba neumwe, Isaka baba vedu;
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,
nokuti vana vasati vaberekwa, kana kumboita chakanaka kana chakaipa, kuti zano raMwari maererano nesananguro rigare, kwete kubva pamabasa, asi kubva kune anodana,
12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
zvakataurwa kwaari kuti: Mukuru achashumira mudiki,
13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Jakobho ndakamuda, asi Esau ndakamuvenga.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.
Ko zvino tichatii? Kusarurama kuriko kuna Mwari here? Ngazvisadaro!
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."
Nokuti anoti kuna Mozisi: Ndichava netsitsi kune wandine tsitsi naye, ndichanzwira ngoni wandinonzwira ngoni.
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Naizvozvo zvakadaro hazvisi zveanoda, kana zveanomhanya, asi zvaMwari anonzwira tsitsi.
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."
Nokuti rugwaro rwunoti kuna Farao: Ndizvozvi zvandakakumutsira, kuti ndiratidze simba rangu mauri, uye kuti zita rangu riparidzwe panyika yese.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Naizvozvo zvino anonzwira tsitsi iye waanoda; uye anowomesa moyo wewaanoda.
19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
Zvino iwe uchati kwandiri: Iye achiri kuwanirei mhosva? Nokuti ndiani angapikisa kuda kwake?
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?"
Haiwa, iwe munhu ndiwe ani anokakavadza Mwari? Chakaumbiwa chingati here kune wakaumba: Wakandiitirei sezvizvi?
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?
Kana muumbi haana simba pamusoro pevhu here, kuti nebundu rimwe aite mudziyo umwe unokudzwa, neumwe unozvidzwa?
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,
Uye kana Mwari achida kuratidza hasha, nekuzivisa simba rake, wakatakura nemoyo murefu kwazvo midziyo yehasha yakagadzirirwa kuparadzwa;
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
uye kuti azivise fuma yekubwinya kwake pamidziyo yetsitsi, yaakagara agadzirira kubwinya,
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
nesu, vaakadana, yatiri isu, kusiri kuVaJudha chete, asi nekuvahedheni?
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.'"
Sezvaanorevawo muna Hosiya achiti: Ndichavaidza vanhu vangu ivo vasiri vanhu vangu; naiye wakange asingadikanwi mudikanwi;
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.'"
zvino zvichaitika kuti, panzvimbo pazvakanzi kwavari: Hamusi vanhu vangu imwi, ipapo vachaidzwa vana vaMwari mupenyu.
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.
Isaya anodanidzirawo maererano naIsraeri achiti: Kunyange uwandu hwevana vaIsraeri hukaita sejecha regungwa, vakasara vachaponeswa;
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."
nokuti achapedza basa nekurigurisira mukururama; nokuti Ishe achagurisira basa panyika.
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."
Uye Isaya sezvaakagara areva achiti: Dai Ishe wehondo asina kutisiira mbeu, tingadai takava seSodhoma, uye takaitwa takafanana neGomora.
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;
Ko tichatii? Kuti vahedheni vasingatsvaki kururama, vakabata kururama, iko kururama kunobva parutendo;
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.
asi Israeri, achitsvaka murairo wekururama, haana kusvika pamurairo wekururama.
32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
Nekuda kwei? Nokuti havana kutsvaka nerutendo, asi nezvainge namabasa emurairo; nokuti vakagumburwa pabwe rekugumbura.
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."
Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Tarira, ndinoisa paZiyoni ibwe rekugumbura nedombo rechipinganidzo; uye ani nani anotenda kwaari haanganyadziswi.
