Romans 11
1 I say, then—Hath God cast off his people? Far be it! For, I also, am an Israelite, —of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:
Bai nilongela, buli, Nnongo atikwa kana bandu boti? hata pasene mana nanenga na Muisreal wa lukolo lwa Ibrahimu wa kabila ya Benyamini.
2 God hath not cast off his people, whom he fore approved. Or know ye not, in [the account of] Elijah what the scripture saith, when he intercedeth with God against Israel?
Nnongo hakanikwa bandu bake, batangite buka samani, je? mutangite kwa liandiko likoya buli usu jyo Eliya, jinsi mwampembelike Nnongo kuhusu Israel?
3 Lord! Thy prophets, have they slain, thine altars, have they overthrown, and, I, am left alone, and they are seeking my life!
Nngwana babulige kinabii bako, na batibomwa madhabau gako. Nenga kiyango ngani igalile, na bembe bapala bwomi wango.”
4 But what saith unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal.
Na lijibu lya nnongo likoya buli kayako?”nitebeka kwaajili yango bandu elfu saba babakotoka kunkilikitya Baali”.
5 Thus, then, in the present season also, a remnant, by way of an election of favour, hath come into being.
Nga ata nyoo, masiku yeno babile baba igalile sabato ya sawo wa uruma.
6 If, however, by favour, no longer of works; else, favour, no longer proveth to be favour!
Lakini mana ibii kwa uruma, twenga le kupendelwa. kichongo chanyo uruma yabakai uruma.
7 What then? That which Israel seeketh after, the same, it hath not obtained: —the election, however, have obtained it, and, the rest, have been hardened; —
Namani kae basi? likowe ambalo Israel abile kalipala aina kipata kwa alababa cahaulilwe ngabakipatike, na benge bayejilwe lubendo.
8 Even as it is written—God hath given unto them a spirit of stupor, —eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, —until this very day;
Nakati mwaiandikikilwe, Nnongo apei mwoyo wo pwindala, minyo lenga kene balole na masikio kene bayowe, mpaka lino.
9 And, David, saith—Let their table be turned into a snare, and into gin, and into a trap, and into a recompense unto them,
Nembe Daudi enda baya, “wileke meza yabe ibe lupelele, ntego, pandu pokubala, na poleya kisase sabe.
10 Darkened be their eyes, not to see, and, their back, do thou continually bow down.
Waleke minyo gembe gambe na lubendo linga kene babone ukapindeya migonga sayote”
11 I say then—Did they stumble in order that they might fall? Far be it! But, by their fall, salvation [hath come] unto the nations, to the end of provoking them to jealousy.
Bai nenda longela, je/bakobile mpatulapai? kana ibenyo, badala yake, kwoshindwa kwabe wokovuwikite kwa amataifa, lenga bene kwa yeya bwingu.
12 If, moreover, their fall, is the riches of a world, and their loss, the riches of nations, how much rather their fullness?
Mana itei shindwa kwabe kasabe utajiri wa Dunia na mana hasara yabe utajili wa mataifa, wikiasi gani zaidi yaba ukamilifu kasabe.
13 Unto you, however, am I speaking, —you of the nations; inasmuch, indeed, then, as, I, am an apostle to the nations, my ministry, I glorify,
Na saa yino nalonngela na mwenga bandu ba mataifa kwa sababu ni bii mtume wa mataifa ngenge nipuniya uduma yango.
14 If by any means I may provoke to jealousy my own flesh, and save some from among them; —
Lakini mbala kwa yeya bwigu baba bile yega jino na nenga kwale tulowa kwalopwa baadhi yabe.
15 For, if, the casting away of them, hath become the reconciling of a world, what shall, the taking of them in addition, be, but life from among the dead?
Mana kanilwa kwabe ni ridhiana na Dunia pokelelwa kwabe kwalowa isa bili ila bwomi buka mu kiwo?
16 If, moreover, the first fruit [is] holy, the lump [shall be] also; and, if the root [is] holy, the branches [shall be] also.
Mana matunda ga kwanza akiba, ngamwebile kwa litongi lya bwembe mana ndandai akiba, ndambi nembe kazalika.
17 If, however, some of the branches, have been broken out, and, thou, being a wild olive hast been grafted in among them, and hast become a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive,
Lakini mana itei badhi ya ndambi itikatibwa kati wenga, lutambe mwitu lwa mzeituni, lwati pandikiswa nkati yake, na mana watishiriki pamope na bembe katika mundandai ya utajiri wa mzeituni,
18 Be not boasting over the branches! Howbeit, if thou boast, it is not, thou, that bearest the root, but the root, thee!
Kana wilumbe ju ndambi. Ila mene kawilumba, wenga liwa winyangata ndandai, ila ndandai ikuyagate wenga.
19 Thou wilt say, then—Branches were broken out in order that, I, might he grafted in.
Bai lwalongela, “ndambi yatitemelwa lenga nipate pandikizwa mukipeto”.
20 Well: by their want of faith, they have been broken out, —and, thou, by thy faith, dost stand!—Regard not lofty things, but be afraid;
Ayo kweli sababu yokotoka aminiya kwabe bati lemelwa, lakini wenga wayeni imara kwasababu ya imani yako. kana wiwase wamwene kwa aliya kunani sana ila uyogope.
21 For, if, God, hath not spared, the natural branches, neither, thee, will he spare!
Mana manaitei Nnongo mene ailekalii ndambi ya asili, huku urumiya lii na wenga.
22 See, then, the kindness and the severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity, —but, upon thee, the kindness of God, if thou abide still in the kindness, —otherwise, thou also, shalt he cut out;
Linga wete, mayenda gana noga na ukaliwa Nnongo kwo pande ngumo, ukale waisi kwa Ayahudi ngabembe batitumbuka. Ila kwo upande wenge, uluma ya Nnongo lwisa kunani yako, mene waigala mu wema wake. malayenge wenga na wenga alowa kukana kutalu.
23 Whereas, they also, unless they abide still in their want of faith, shall be grafted in, for God is, able, again to engraft them!
Na kai, mana bayendelelwa kwa mwo kutoka aminiya kwambe. Balowa pandikizwa kai mana Nnongo abile nowo uwezo wopandikiza kai.
24 For, if, thou, out of the naturally wild olive was cut out, and, beyond nature, hast been engrafted into the good olive, how much rather, shall these, the natural [branches] be engrafted into their own olive tree?
Mana manaitei mwenga mwati temelwa panja kwa uliokwa zamani mzeituni wa mwitu, na chachungu cha zamani mwati pandikizwa mu mzaituni wabe bene.
25 For I wish not, ye should be ignorant, brethren, of this sacred secret, lest within yourselves ye be presumptuous, that, a hardening in part, hath befallen Israel, until, the full measure of the nations, shall come in;
Mana mwalongo nipendi kwa kene mutange, usikakana na siri yee. lenga wete kene mwabe na isima nkati ya wasa kwinu mwabene. Siri yeye ni kuwa nonopa kupitike Israel, mpaka kamilika kwa mataifa pwa kwagapala isa.
26 And, so, all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written—There shall have come out of Zion the Deliverer, —He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
Nanyo Israel bote baokoka, kati mweandikilwe, “buka Sayuni alowaisa jwa kutulopwa. Alowa kubuya ubaya buka kwa Yakobo.
27 And, this, for them, is the covenant from me, as soon as I take away their sins.
Na ate alelya panga lilagano lyango pamope na bembe muda panalowa kwibuya zambi yabe”.
28 As touching the joyful-message, indeed, they are enemies for your sake, but, as touching the election, beloved for their father’s sake;
kwo upade wenge husu injili, benda kasirika kwaajili yinu. Kwo upande wenge buka na kuchawa kwa Nnongo, batipendelwa kwa mwanza ya kibokulo.
29 For, not to be regretted, are the gifts and the calling of God: —
Kwa kuwa sawali ya kemelwa na Nnongo igalambuka kwako.
30 For, just as, ye, at one time had not yielded unto God, and yet now have received mercy by their refusal to yield,
Kwa mana hapo zamani mwate kunkana nnongo, ila nambe yambe mujogoprte rehma sababu ya asi kwabe.
31 So, these also, have now refused to yield, by your own mercy, in order that, themselves also, should now become objects of mercy;
Kwa anda yoyo-yo, tubwe aba Ayahudi batiasi. Chakipitike kumbe buka na huruma ya muyaliwite mwenga bendo weza kai pokya rehema.
32 For God hath shut up all together, in a refusal to yield, in order that, upon all, he may bestow mercy. (eleēsē g1653)
Mana Nnongo atabite bandu bote muasi, lenga awese kubahurumia bote. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh! the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments! and untraceable his ways!
Jinsi mwebile ngolo utajili na hekima na malipwa ga nnongo! Ichunguzika kwako ukumu yake, na ndela ya ichunguzika kwako!
34 For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord? Or who hath become his counselor?
Mana nyai lwaitangite liwazo lwa Nngwana? au nyai lwabile shauli wake?
35 Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
Au nyai lwabijwa kwanza kupeya kilebe Nnongo, lenga alepelwe kai?
