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:
Naizvozvo ndinoti: Mwari wakarasa vanhu vake here? Ngazvisadaro! Nokuti iniwo ndiri muIsraeri, kubva pambeu yaAbhurahama, werudzi rwaBhenjamini.
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?
Mwari haana kurasa vanhu vake vaakagara aziva. Kana hamuzivi kuti rugwaro rwunoti kudini kuna Eria here? Kuti anoreverera sei kuna Mwari achipesana neVaIsraeri, achiti:
3 Lord! Thy prophets, have they slain, thine altars, have they overthrown, and, I, am left alone, and they are seeking my life!
Ishe, vakauraya vaporofita venyu, uye vakaputsa aritari dzenyu; zvino ini ndasara ndega, uye vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu.
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.
Asi mhinduro yaMwari inoti kudii kwaari? Inoti: Ndakazvisiira zvuru zvinomwe zvevarume, vasina kufugamira ibvi kuna Bhaari.
5 Thus, then, in the present season also, a remnant, by way of an election of favour, hath come into being.
Zvino saizvozvo nemunguva yaikozvino variko vakasara maererano nesananguro yenyasha.
6 If, however, by favour, no longer of works; else, favour, no longer proveth to be favour!
Asi kana zviri zvenyasha, hazvichabvi pamabasa; kana zvisakadaro, nyasha hadzisisiri nyasha. Asi kana zvichibva pamabasa, hadzisati dzichiri nyasha; kana zvisakadaro basa harisati richiri basa.
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; —
Ko zvino? Israeri zvaakange achitsvaka, haana kuzviwana, asi vasanangurwa vakazviwana, vamwewo vakaomeswa;
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;
sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi: Mwari wakavapa mweya wehope huru, meso kuti varege kuona, nenzeve kuti varege kunzwa, kusvikira zuva ranhasi.
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,
NaDhavhidhi anoti: Tafura yavo ngaiitwe rudzingi nemusungo, nechigumbuso nekutsiva kwavari;
10 Darkened be their eyes, not to see, and, their back, do thou continually bow down.
meso avo ngaasvibirwe kuti varege kuona, uye mukotamise musana wavo narinhi.
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.
Naizvozvo ndinoti: Vakagumbuswa kuti vawe here? Ngazvisadaro! Asi nekudarika kwavo ruponeso rwakasvika kuvahedheni, kuvamutsira godo.
12 If, moreover, their fall, is the riches of a world, and their loss, the riches of nations, how much rather their fullness?
Zvino kana kudarika kwavo kuri fuma yenyika, nekukundikana kwavo ifuma yevahedheni, zvikuru sei kuzara kwavo?
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,
Nokuti ndinotaura kwamuri vahedheni; sezvo ndiri ini muapositori wevahedheni, ndinokudza ushumiri hwangu;
14 If by any means I may provoke to jealousy my own flesh, and save some from among them; —
kuti zvimwe ndingamutsira godo venyama yangu, uye ndiponese vamwe vavo.
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?
Nokuti kana kuraswa kwavo kuri kuyananiswa kwenyika, kugamuchirwa kuchaveiko, kunze kwekuti upenyu hunobva kuvakafa?
16 If, moreover, the first fruit [is] holy, the lump [shall be] also; and, if the root [is] holy, the branches [shall be] also.
Zvino kana chibereko chekutanga chiri chitsvene, bunduwo rakadaro; uye kana mudzi uri mutsvene, nematavi akadaro.
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,
Asi kana mamwe ematavi akavhuniwa, newe uri muorivhi wekudondo ukabatanidzwa pakati pawo, ukava mugovani pamwe nawo pamudzi nepamafuta emuorivhi,
18 Be not boasting over the branches! Howbeit, if thou boast, it is not, thou, that bearest the root, but the root, thee!
usazvikudza pamusoro pematavi; asi kana uchizvikudza, hausi iwe anotakura mudzi, asi mudzi unokutakura iwe.
19 Thou wilt say, then—Branches were broken out in order that, I, might he grafted in.
Zvino uchati: Matavi akavhuniwa, kuti ini ndibatanidzwe.
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;
Zvakanaka; nekusatenda vakavhuniwa, iwe umire nerutendo. Usazvikudza, asi itya;
21 For, if, God, hath not spared, the natural branches, neither, thee, will he spare!
nokuti kana Mwari asina kurega matavi echisikirwo, zvimwe haangakuregi iwewo.
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;
Zvino tarira unyoro nekuomarara kwaMwari; kune vanowa, kuomarara; asi kwauri, unyoro, kana uchigara paunyoro hwake; kana zvikasadaro newe ungatemwa.
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!
Naivowo, kana vasingagari pakusatenda, vachabatanidzwa, nokuti Mwari anogona kuvabatanidzazve.
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?
Nokuti kana iwe wakatemwa kumuorivhi uri wedondo pachisikirwo, ukabatanidzwa zvinopesana nechisikirwo pamuorivhi wakasimwa, vangabatanidzwa zvikuru sei avo vari matavi echisikirwo pamuorivhi wekwavo?
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;
Nokuti handidi kuti musaziva, hama, zvechakavanzika ichi, kuti murege kuzviita vakangwara, kuti kuomeswa kwemoyo kwakawira Israeri muchidimbu kusvikira kwapinda kuzara kwavahedheni;
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;
saizvozvowo Israeri wese achaponeswa; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: PaZiyoni pachabva Musununguri achabvisa kusada Mwari kuna Jakobho.
27 And, this, for them, is the covenant from me, as soon as I take away their sins.
Uye iyi isungano yangu kwavari, pandichabvisa zvivi zvavo.
28 As touching the joyful-message, indeed, they are enemies for your sake, but, as touching the election, beloved for their father’s sake;
Maererano neevhangeri vavengi nekuda kwenyu; asi maererano nekusanangura vadikanwi nekuda kwemadzibaba;
29 For, not to be regretted, are the gifts and the calling of God: —
nokuti zvipo nekudana kwaMwari hazvishanduki.
30 For, just as, ye, at one time had not yielded unto God, and yet now have received mercy by their refusal to yield,
Nokuti semwiwo kare musina kuteerera Mwari, asi zvino makanzwirwa tsitsi nekusateerera kwavo;
31 So, these also, have now refused to yield, by your own mercy, in order that, themselves also, should now become objects of mercy;
saizvozvo naivava ikozvino havana kuteerera, kuti netsitsi dzenyu naivo vanzwirwe tsitsi;
32 For God hath shut up all together, in a refusal to yield, in order that, upon all, he may bestow mercy. (eleēsē g1653)
nokuti Mwari wakavapfigira vese mukusateera, kuti ave netsitsi kwavari vese. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh! the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments! and untraceable his ways!
Haiwa kudzika kwefuma, zvese yeuchenjeri neruzivo rwaMwari! Kutonga kwake hakunzverwi zvakadini, nenzira dzake hadzirondwi!
34 For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord? Or who hath become his counselor?
Nokuti ndiani wakaziva fungwa yaIshe? Kana ndiani wakange ari murairidzi wake?
35 Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
Kana ndiani wakatanga kupa kwaari, uye zvichadzorerwa kwaari?
