Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,
Nijobha bhukweli mu Kristu. Nijobha lepi udesi, ni dhamira jha nene jhishuhudila pamonga ni nene mu Roho Mtakatifu,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
kwamba jhijhelepi huzuni mbaha ni maumifu ghaghabeli kumalika mugati mu muoyo bhwa nene.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives according to the flesh,
Kwamba ninogheleghe ne muene kulaanibhwa ni kutengibhwa patali ni Kristu kwa ndabha jha bhalongo bhangu, bhala bha jamii jha nene mu mb'el'e.
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;
Bhene ndo Bhaisraeli. Bhabhajhe ni hali jha kujha bhana, bha utukufu, bhwa maaganu, ni zawadi jha sheria, kumwabudu K'yara, ni ahadi.
5 of whom are the patriarchs, and from whom is the Christ, as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Bhene bhalongolesi ambako Kristu ahidili kwa litengu kufuala mb'el'e obho - ambajhe muene ndo K'yara ghwa fyoha. Ni muene atufibhwajhi milele. Amina. (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.
Lakini sio kujha ahadi sya K'yara sisindilu kutimila. Ndabha sio khila munu jha ajhele Israeli ndo Mwisraeli halisi.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants be called."
Naha lepi, hata kwa bhuzao bhwa Abrahamu kujha ndo bhanamunu halisi. Lakini, “ni kup'et'ela Isaka uzao bhwa jhobhi wibetakukutibhwa.”
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.
Ejhe ndo kwamba, bhana bha mb'el'e sio bhana bha K'yara. Lakini bhana bha ahadi bhilolelibhwa kujha kama uzao.
9 For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
Ndabha e'le ndo lilobhi lya ahadi: “Mu majira agha nibetakuhida, ni Sara ibetakupelibhwa muana.”
10 And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by one, our father Isaac.
E'le lepi tu, lakini baada jha Rebeka kukabha luleme kwa munu mmonga, Isaka dadi jhitu-
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,
kwamba bhana bhajhe bhakhona kuhogoleka na ajhele akhetilepi khenu kyokyoha khela kinofu au kibhibhi, ili kwamba kusudi lya K'yara kul'engana na bhusalanu lijhemajhi, Bhwali kwa matendo lepi, lakini kwa ndabha jha jhola jhaikhuta.
12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
Lijabhibhu kwa muene, “Mbaha ibetakun'tumikila n'debe.”
13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
Kama kyajhalembibhu: “Yakobo nan'ganili, lakini Esau nan'dadili.”
14 What should we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.
Basi kabhele twibetakujobha kiki? Je bhujhe bhudhalimu kwa K'yara? La hasha.
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."
Kwa kujha ijobha kwa Musa, “nibetakujha ni rehema kwa jhola jhanibetakundehemu, na nibetakujha ni k'esa kwa jhola jhanibetakun'hurumila.”
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Henu basi, kwandabha jha muene lepi jhailonda, wala ndabha jha muene lepi jhaijumba, lakini kwandabha jha K'yara, ambajhe ilasya rehema.
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."
Kwa kujha majhandiku ghijobha kwa Farao, “Kwa kusudi e'le maalumu nakujhimuli, ili kwamba nilasiajhi nghofu sya nene kwa bhebhe, ni kabhele ili lihina lya nene litangasibhwayi mu nchi jhioha.”
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Henu basi, K'yara huwa ijha ni rehema kwa jhejhioha jhaan'ganili, ni kwa ambajhe akan'gana akambeka kujha mkaidi.
19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
Kabhele wibetakujobha kwa nene, “Kwandabha jha kiki wako na wibhona likosa? Jholeku jha abhwahili kustahimili matakwa gha muene?”
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?"
Kinyume kyake, mwanadamu, bhebhe ghweniani jhaghwijibu kinyume ni k'yara? Kujha ni bhuwesekanu bho bhuoha bhwa kyakifyogholibhu kujobha kwa mfanyanzi, “Kwandajhakiki ghwanikhetili nene naha?”
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?
Je mfinyazi huwa ijha ni haki panani pa bhud'opi kutengenesya khenu kwa matumizi maalumu kufwatana ni libonge lelalela, ni khenu kheng'e kwa matumizi gha khila ligono?
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,
Bhuli kama K'yara, ambajhe ajhe ni bhutayari bhwa kulasya gadhabu jha muene kumanyikana, asindemele kwa bhuvumilifu bhwa kutosha fenu fya gadhabu fyafyaandalibhu kwa kujhangamisibhwa?
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
Bhuli kama abhombili naha ili kwamba alasiajhi bhwingi bhwa bhutukufu bhwa muene panani pa fenu fya rehema ambafyo amalikufiandala kwa ndabha jha utukufu?
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
Bhuli kama abhombi naha ni kwa muenga kabhele, ambajhe ndo jhaatukhutili sio tu kuhoma kwa Bhayahudi, lakini kabhele kuhoma kwa bhanu bha Mataifa?
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.'"
Kama kyaijobha kabhele kwa Hosea: “Nibetakubhakuta bhanu bha jhoni, ambabho bhajhelepi bhanu bhangu, ni mpendwa ghwa muene ambajhe aganikibhu lepi.
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.'"
Na jhibeta kujha kwamba pala ajobhibhu kwa bhene, 'Muenga mwebhanu bha nene lepi,' pala bhibete kukutibhwa bhanu bha K'yara jhaajhe muomi.”
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 ilela kuhusiana ni Israeli, “Kama hesabu jha bhana bha Israeli ngajhijhele kama n'sanga bhwa bahari, jhibetakujha ndo masalu ambagho bhibetakiokolibhwa.
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."
Kwa kujha Bwana ibetakulitola lilobhi lya muene panani pa nchi, manyata ni kwa bhutimilifu.
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."
Ni kama Isaya kyaajobhili kubhuandu, “Kama Bwana ghwa majeshi atulekilepi kumbele uzao kwa ndabha jha tete, ngatujhele kama Sodoma, na ngatubhombibhu kama Gomora.
30 What should we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
Tubetajobha bhuli? kwamba bhanu bha Mataifa ambabho bhajhele bhilondalepi haki, bhakabhili haki, haki kwa amani.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.
Lakini Israeli, ambajhe elondili sheria jha haki, ajhifikilepi.
32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
Kwandajhakiki naha lepi? Kwandabha bhajhilondilepi kwa imani, bali kwa matendo. Bhakhobhele panani pa liganga lya kukhobhala,
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."
kama kyajhelembibhu, “Langayi, niligonisi liganga lya kwikungufula mu Sayuni ni mwamba bhwa kudula. Muene ambajhe ikiera kwa e'le ibetalepi kwikosya soni.”
