Romans 9
1 I am speaking the truth as one in union with Christ; it is no lie; and my conscience, enlightened by the Holy Spirit,
Eyanga elyoli hwa Kilisiti. Seyangailenga, humwoyo gwene eshudila pandwemo nane hwidala Opepo Ofinjile,
2 bears me out when I say that there is a great weight of sorrow on me and that my heart is never free from pain.
huje huli azugumile ohogosi abhawe hwa saga humaliha muhati yemwoyo gwane.
3 I could wish that I were myself accursed and severed from the Christ, for the sake of my people – my own flesh and blood.
Nezagazilishe ane nemwene alogwe abhehwe hutali nu Kilisiti huje aholo bhane, bhala abheshikholo shane ashilile obele.
4 For they are Israelites, and theirs are the adoption as children, the visible presence, the covenants, the revealed Law, the Temple worship, and the promises.
Abhene bha Israeli. Bhabhehwelwe huje bhana, abhe tufiwe ayangane, ezawadi eya logwe, hupute Ongolobhe, na malagano.
5 They are descended from the patriarchs, and, as far as his human nature was concerned, from them came the Christ – he who is supreme over all things, God for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ebhene bhabhatagalizizye ohwo Kilisiti ahenzele enshinshi akwate obele oguu - huje oyo uo Ngolobhe wa bhoti. Wope ayeme hwaje wilawila. Amina. (aiōn g165)
6 Not that God’s Word has failed. For it is not all who are descended from Israel who are true Israelites;
Sehuje amalagano ga Ngolobhe hujezikunilwe afishe. Sehuje kila mutu wali Israeli nasebha Israeli bhebho.
7 nor, because they are Abraham’s descendants, are they all his children; but – “It is Isaac’s children who will be called your descendants.”
Sehuje bhoti bhali bhana bha Abulahamu huje bhali bhana bhakwe bhebho. Lakini, “naashilile u Isaka abhana bhaho waikwiziwa.”
8 This means that it is not the children born in the course of nature who are God’s children, but it is the children born in fulfilment of the promise who are to be regarded as Abraham’s descendants.
Hweli hwahuje, abhana abha mbele sagabhana bha Ngolobhe. Lakini abhana abhe ahadi bhahwenyezewa huje ebha ndabhana.
9 For these words are the words of a promise – “About this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
Elilizuu elyahadi: “Nane majira ego naye hweza, nu Sala aipata omwana.”
10 Nor is that all. There is also the case of Rebecca, when she was about to bear children to our ancestor Isaac.
Sagalyalyeli tu, lakini pamaade u Lebeka abhapate evyanda hwa mtu omo, o Isaka udaada wetu-
11 For in order that the purpose of God, working through selection, might not fail – a selection depending, not on obedience, but on his call – Rebecca was told, before her children were born and before they had done anything either right or wrong,
hwahuje abhana bhali nsele apapwe na alibado abhombe ijambo lyolyonti elinza au ibhibhi, huje ikusudi elya Ngolobhe alengane nachagule lyemelele, wala sehuje humiza, lakini sehwahuje yola wahukwizya.
12 that the elder would be a servant to the younger.
Lyayagwilwe huje, “Ogosi abhahutumishile ododo.”
13 The words of scripture are – “I loved Jacob, but I hated Esau.”
Nashi sashili huje lyahandihwe: “U Yakobo nagene, lakini u Esau navitilwe.”
14 What are we to say, then? Is God guilty of injustice? Heaven forbid!
Hwa huje tiyanje yenu? Huje lihweli ilenga hwa Ngolobhe? Huje dadi
15 For his words to Moses are – “I will take pity on whom I take pity, and be merciful to whom I am merciful.”
Hwa huje eyaanga ahusu oMusa, “embabhe neisajilo hula wembahusajile, na ebhabhe ne sajilo hwola wembahusajile.”
16 So, then, all depends, not on human wishes or human efforts, but on God’s mercy.
Hwa huje bhasi, saga yuyo oyo wabhahwanze, wala sagayuyo oyo wanyila, lakini hwa huje yu Ngolobhe, hwa huje abhonesha asajile.
17 In scripture, again, it is said to Pharaoh – “It was for this purpose that I raised you to the throne, to show my power by my dealings with you, and to make my name known throughout the world.”
Hwa huje aamazu gayanga hwa Falao, “Hwa huje ega goti galinsini ambuinule, huje ebhoneshe aguvu zyane ashilile wewe, nahuje iitawa lyane lirumbelelwe ensi yoti.”
18 So, then, where God wills, he takes pity, and where he wills, he hardens the heart.
Huje bhasi, Ongolobhe abhane sajilohwa wowoti wagene, nahwola wahugana, ahubheha abhe hali.
19 Perhaps you will say to me – “How can anyone still be blamed? For who withstands his purpose?”
Nantele ubhayanje hwalini, “Yenu alola ikosa? Yo lihu wagamalile agajimbile amambo gakwe?”
20 I might rather ask “Who are you who are arguing with God?” Does a thing which a person has moulded say to the person who has moulded it “Why did you make me like this?”
Ahosi yakwe, omwanadamu, awewe nanu woyanga kinyume nu Ngolobhe? Huhweli aweze hane lyolyoti lya hahabhombelwe hayanga hwula wahabhombele, “Huje yenu wambombele eshi ane?”
21 Has not the potter absolute power over their clay, so that out of the same lump they make one thing for better, and another for common, use?
Je wabhomba sagali nehaki hwilongo elyaleganyizye evyombo humatumizi gega hweli afumilane nuvilima ulaula, ne shombo esha mwabho shibha na matumizi kila siku?
22 And what if God, intending to reveal his displeasure and make his power known, bore most patiently with the objects of his displeasure, though they were fit only to be destroyed,
Wole nashi Ongolobhe, umwene alitayali wabhonesye enkuni yakwe naabhombe amaha gakwe amanyishe, ajimbile navumilile huiye evyombo evya enkumi vyevibhehwelwe kwajili ya goje?
23 so as to make known his surpassing glory in dealing with the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared beforehand for glory,
Woole nkashile abhombile enga abhonesye ohwinji we utukufu wakwe hu vyombo evya rehema, avibeshele tayali kwajili yeutukufu?
24 and whom he called – even us – not only from among the Jews but from among the Gentiles also!
Wole kashile abhombile eli, je hulitu, hwa huje nate alitwizizye sagahuje afume Wayahudi, nantele afume nahwa bhantu bha Mataifa?
25 This, indeed, is what he says in the book of Hosea – “Those who were not my people, I will call my people, and those who were unloved I will love.
Nashi sayanga mwa Oseya: “Embabhakwizye abhantu bhane bhabhali saga bhantu bhane, nuula wagene natele nuula wasaga agenwe.
26 And in the place where it was said to them – ‘You are not my people’, they will be called sons of the living God.”
Na abhabhe huje pala palyayagwilwe hwa bhene, 'amwesagamlibhantu bhane,' pala bhezekwiziwe 'abhana bha Ngolobhe wali mwomi.”'
27 And Isaiah cries aloud over Israel – “Though the sons of Israel are like the sand of the sea in number, only a remnant of them will escape!
O Isaya alila ashilile nebha Israeli, “Huje abhazye abhana bha Israeli engelinashi usanga gwa mbahali, ebabhe nashi bhebhasageye bhazabhe nashi bhabhahwokolewe.
28 For the Lord will execute his sentence on the world, fully and without delay.”
Hwa huje Ogosi abhahweje izuu lyakwe hwumwanya na pansi, sasele nahwa utimilifu.
29 It is as Isaiah foretold – “Had not the Lord of Hosts spared some few of our people to us, we should have become like Sodom and been made to resemble Gomorrah.”
Nashi oIsaya sayanjile ehale, “Nashi Ogosi owemanjeshi sagatilesheye akhosi ouzao kwaajili yaliti, angatili nashi e Sodoma, nangatibhombilwe nashi e Gomora.
30 What are we to say, then? Why, that Gentiles, who were not in search of righteousness, secured it – a righteousness which was the result of faith;
Tibhayanje genu lelo? huje abhantu abhe Mataifa huje bhahali sagabhahwanza elyoli bhapente elyoli, elyoli huimani.
31 while Israel, which was in search of a Law which would ensure righteousness, failed to discover one.
Lakini abha Israeli, bhahazile ikalata elyelyoli, sagayiifishie.
32 And why? Because they looked to obedience, and not to faith, to secure it. They stumbled over the stumbling-block.
Yenu yalyesho? Hwa huje sagabhaiyazile huimani, bali huu matendo. Wabomele pamwanya yiwee na bhabomelee,
33 As scripture says – “See, I place a stumbling-block in Zion – a rock which will prove a hindrance; and he who believes in him will have no cause for shame.”
nashi seyagwilwe enyenye, endigonizye iee elya abomelee, hu Sayuni nahuje owakose. Omwene wahuposhela hwelii sagabhakenyesewe.
