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.
Diawu minu thubidi ti: A buevi, Nzambi wulozidi batu bandi e? Buawu ko. Bila minu veka ndidi muisi Iseli, mu nkuna Abalahami; mu dikanda di Benzami.
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:
Nzambi kasia loza ko batu bandi; bobo kazaba tona thama. Lusi zaba ko mambu masonoko mantuba mu diambu di Eli, buevi kafundila Iseli kuidi Nzambi bu katuba:
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
Pfumu, bameni vonda mimbikudi miaku ayi bameni tulula mintalamiaku. Minu veka ndisiedi, vayi balembo tombi kuphonda.
4 But how does God answer him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand people, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
Vayi buevi bubela mvutu wu Nzambi e? Ndisueka tsambudi mili yi batu mu diambu diama; bobo basia fukimina Bali ko.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Buawu kuandi buididi, mu thangu yayi, vadi ndambu yi batu basiedi boso buididi tsobodolo yi nlemvo wu Nzambi.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Enati mu nlemvo, buna yisiedi diaka mu mavanga ko. Bila enati buawu bobo buna nlemvo wusiedi nlemvo ko.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Buna buevi e? Iseli kasia tambula ko mambu momo kaba tomba vayi bobo basobolo batambula mawu. Vayi bankaka bakitulu mintima mi matadi
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.
banga bu disonimina: Nzambi wuba vana Pheve yi tulu, wuba vana meso muingi babika mona; wuba vana matu muingi babika wa, nate lumbu kiaki!
9 David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
Davidi wutuba: Bika minyengo miawu mikituka mu diambu diawu dikondi, ntambu ayi diluaku di balenda buila ayi thumbudulu awu.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and their backs be bent continually."
Bika meso mawu maba mu tombi muingi mabika mona; bika mingongo miawu miba mikomvama mu zithangu zioso.
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.
Minu thubidi: babumina thutu muingi babua e? Nana! Mu mbuilu awu muawu Bapakanu batambudila phulusu muingi Bayuda babasila kiphala.
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?
Vayi enati mbuilu awu yidi kimvuama ki nza ayi enati dekuka kuawu kuidi kimvuama ki Bapakanu, buna buevi buela bela kimvuama mu thangu Bayuda boso bela balula mavanga e?
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;
Bila kuidi beno Bapakanu ndintuba bu ndidi mvuala wu Bapakanu; ndieti niemisa kisalu kiama
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
bila enati baka bubela, totula kiphala kuidi bibutu biama ayi vukisa bankaka mu bawu.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Bila enati ndozolo awu yidi mu diambu di vutula nguizani ayi nza buna buevi buela bela bu bela kuba tambula e? Buna keti yela ba banga mfulukulu mu bafua.
16 If the first part is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Bila enati bitini bitheti bidi binlongo, buna kuku kimvimba kidi kinlongo. Enati muanzi widi wunlongo buna matafi madi manlongo.
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;
Vayi enati ndambu yi matafi mankaka mazengo ayi ngeyo wubaditafi di nti wu olive wukambu kunu, wuyiza kuiku va buangu ki matafi mazengo; wuyikidi kithuadi ayi bawu mu bakanga maka mantotukila mu muanzi wu nti wu olive wukunu
18 do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
buna bika kukiniemisa mu diambu di matafi. Enati wulenda kukiniemisa, buna bika sia ngeyo wunnatanga mianzi vayi muanzi wawu weti kunatanga.
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
Ngeyo wulenda tuba: A keti matafi mazengo mu diambu minu ndikuiku.
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
Bumboti kuandi. Mawu mazengolo mu diambu di kambu ku minu vayi ngeyo widi wutelama mu minu. Bika kukiniemisa vayi mona tsisi.
21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Bila enati Nzambi kasia mona kiadi ko matafi momo madi khatika matafi ma nti, buna ngeyo kalendi kumona kiadi ko.
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.
Tala buididi mamboti ayi nganzi yi Nzambi. Nganzi kuidi bawu babua, mamboti kuidi ngeyo; enati wunzingila kaka mu mamboti momo. Bila enati buawu ko buna ngeyo mamvaku wela zengo.
23 They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Ayi bawu mamvawu, enati bakadi zingila mu kambu kuawu ku minu, buna bela kuiku. Bila Nzambi beki lulendo lu kuba kuikila diaka.
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?
Bila enati ngeyo wuba wuzengo mu nti wu olive wukambu kunu wowo wumena wawu veka ayi wuyiza kuiku mu nti wu olive wukunu, buna keti matafi momo matotukila mu nti wowo wu olive mela kuiku mu nti beni e?
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,
A bakhomba, thidi luzaba disuekama diadi muingi luedi kukimonanga banga batu badiela. Muaki ndambu yi Iseli bawilukilanga ko. Kambu kuawu ku minu kuela zingila nate Bapakanu boso bela kuiza kuidi Nzambi.
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.
Buna bosi Iseli dioso diela vuka. Banga bu masonimina ti: Nkudi wela totukila ku Sioni, niandi wela katula kambu ku tumamana koso mu Yakobi
27 This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
Tala buela bela Nguizani ama ayi bawu: Ndiela lemvukila masumu mawu.
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake.
Mu matedi Nsamu Wumboti, bawu badi bambeni mu diambu dieno vayi mu matedi tsobodolo bawu badi bakiluzolo mu diambu di bakulu.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Bila makaba ma nlemvo ayi lutelo lu Nzambi bilendi balulu ko.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Mu thama, beno mamveno lusia tumukina Nzambi ko vayi buabu balumueni kiadi mu diambu di kambu ku tumama ku batu baba.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may now also obtain mercy.
Bobuawu, enati kambu kuawu ku tumamana buabu kulunatini kiadi buna diodi didi mu diambu mamvawu bamono kiadi.
Bila Nzambi wukanga batu boso, mu diambu di kambu ku tumamana muingi kamona batu boso kiadi. (eleēsē g1653)
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.
A nga phila thipula yidi mu kimvuama, mu nzayilu ayi mu nduenga bi Nzambi! Zinzengolo ziandi zilendi fiongonono ko ayi zinzila ziandi zilendi bakulu ko.
34 For "Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
Bila: A buna nani wuzaba mayindu ma Pfumu e? Voti nani wuba kumvananga zindongi e?
35 "Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
Voti nani wutuama kumvana makaba muingi niandi kamvutudila ku nzimunina e?
