Romans 11
1 I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Huje eyanga, huje, Ongolobhe abhakhanine abhantu bhakwe? Hata hashe. Hwa huje nane ne Mwiisraeli, wa mshikolo sha Abulahamu, hwi kabela lya Benyamini.
2 God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel,
Ongolobhe zagabhakhene abhantu bhakwe abhamanye afume huwandilo. Je sagamenye izuu liyanga yenu ahusu o Eliya, jinsi sabholele Ongolobhe humwanya ye Israeli?
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
“Ogosi, bhabhagojile ankoha bhaho, bhope bhabomoye pashiputo paho. Nene nimwene esagalye, bhope bhahwaza owomi wane.”
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
Lakini ijibu elya Ngolobhe liyanga yenu huliwe? “Embeshele kwaajili yalini abhantu elfu saba ebho sagabhayikhomela amafu gamo Baali.”
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Hata eshi, wakati ou esalezi bhahweli bhabhasagaliye ashilile ouchaguzi wiwenee.
6 But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
Lakini kashile huweene, sehuje hwu matendo. Kashile weene sagaibhabhe nantele weene. Yeni bhasi?
7 What then? That which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:
Ahantu ambaho Eisraeli yaliehwaza, sagahajile, huje bhabha chaguliwe bhahajile, nabhamwabho bhabhehwele bhamwamu.
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, unto this very day.
Nashi sagasimbilwe: “Ongolobhe abhapie opepo ogwasajilwe, amaso huje bhasilole, na makutu huje bhasiyovwe, epaka sanyono eeshii.”
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
Wope o Daudi ayanga, “Leha emeza zyabho nazibhe nyavu, tengo sehemu yaabomelee nalipizye eshisasi hwa bhene bhebho.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow thou down their back alway.
Leha amaso gabho gabhehwe akisi huje bhagajelole. Ubhaundamishe amasana gabhowila.”
11 I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Basi eyanga, “Huje bhabomelee hata bhagwile egajebhe?” Esho na mwaha. Badala yakwe, amenwe hwabho, olokole ufishe hwa Mataifa, ili bhebho bhene bhabhe nu wivu.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Nkashile amenwe hwabho hutabhale evya paulimwengu, nakashile hasalayabho atabhale wa mataifa, nazibhabhe zilenga enyinji akamilishe hwabho?
13 But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry:
Na esalezi eyanga namwe mubhantu bhe Mataifa. Hwa huje enditumwa wa bhantu abhe Mataifa aganje, ehwivunira huduma yane.
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy [them that are] my flesh, and may save some of them.
Labda engabhabhehe owivu gwambele pandwemo nanene. Nkanga tigabhokola bhabha hweli bhamo.
15 For if the casting away of them [is] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
Maana huje akhanile hwabho bhapatene ne dunia, aposhelelwe hwabho haibhawole ila uwomi afume hwaabhafwe?
16 And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Nkashire amadondo agapawandilo akiba, shesho sashihweli hwibhomba elye ousu. Nkashile amazi gope akiba, esamba zyope shesho.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;
Lakini nkashile zihweli esamba zyazidumulwe, nashi wewe, isamba lya mwipoli elya mzeituni, watotilwe pandwemo nabho, na nkashile wali pandwemo nabjo namumazi age otabhalo hwa mzeituni,
18 glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
oganje hwintutumule amwanya yemasamba. Lakini nkashile uhwintutumula, nasaga wewe ohwavya mumazi, bali amazi gahumwavya awe.
19 Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Basi ubhayanje, “Amasamba gadumulwe huje epate atotwe mwilende.”
20 Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Ego gali lyoli. Husababu yakutowiteshe hwabho bhadumule, lakini awe wahemeleye shinza husababu yelweteho lwaho. Ugaje hwise bhelele umwene huhaliyamwanya sana, heli ogopaga.
21 for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.
Kwa maana nkashile Ongolobhe hagagalesheye amasamba amakolo, sagabhahusajile nawe shesho.
22 Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Hwiyenye, basi, amadala amiza nuhali wa Ngolobhe. Na hudwemo humo, okhali wahenzele amwanya ya Ayahudi ebho bhagwiye. Lakini nahudwemo uwamwabho, owiza wa Ngolobhe guweza amwanya yaho, nkashile obhakhale mumiza gakwe. Shoshoti nawe amanye obhatagwe hutali.
23 And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
Natele, nkashile sagabhezehwendelele mlweteshelo lyakwe, bhezatotwe natele. Maana Ongolobhe alinagwo ouwezo ogwa totele natele.
24 For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which are the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive tree?
Hwa huje amwekashile mwadumulwe hwoze ashilile huhale omzeituni ogwamwipoli, na kinyume shakwe ehale mwa vyalilwe mu mzeituni omwieza, sehuje hwenje sana hwebha Ayahudi, sawa nahuje masamba amakolo gowezya agavyale natele muhati ye mzeituni gabho bhebho?
25 For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;
Hwa huje mwaholo sehwaza huje msimanye afyatane nesiri ene, huje msibhe ne eshinshi nashi asebhanye hwenyu mwemwe. Esiri ene huje okhome guifumilene na Israeli, hadi akamilisye hwa mataifa nahwayiyenza.
26 and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Epo aIsraeli yote bhaihwokoha, nashi sagasimbilwe afume: “Afume hu Sayuni ayihwenza Owakhokole. Ayihwefya oubhibhi afume hwa Yakobo.
27 And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.
Neli lyayibha malagano gane pandwemo nabhene, ensiku ezyo naihwefye embibhi zyabho.”
28 As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
Ahusuhudwemo humo ashilile iizuu, bhavitilwa hwu sababu yenyu. Hudwemo ohwamwabho ashilile nasalule hwa Ngolobhe, bhagenwe husababu ya amaamaa.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
Hwa huje ezawadi nakwiziwe hwa Ngolobhe sagahugaluhana.
30 For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Hwa huje ehale amwee mwalimleshile Ongolobhe, lakini esalezi muiposheye ewene hwusababu ya aleshe hwabho.
31 even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shewn to you they also may now obtain mercy.
Hwidala lyelyo esalezi, ebha Ayahudi bhaleshile. Afumilane nego huuje nesanjilo zya mlinazyo amwe bhawezizye bhope aposhele ewene.
Maana Ongolobhe abhankonjele abhantu woti ashilile huleshe, huje awezizye abhasajile bhoti. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O 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!
Shahuhweli outabhalo nenshinshi nenjele eya Ngolobhe! Zagapimwapimwa naloonje hwakwe, namadala gakwe sagazimanyiha!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
“Maana yonanu walimenye ilengo lya Gosi? Au yonanu waliyanzi wakwe?
35 or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Au yonanu owakwanza hupele ahantu Ongolobhe, huje alipwe nantele?”
