Romans 11
1 I ask then, has God rejected his people? Certainly not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Bhai ngunabhuya, bhuli a Nnungu bhashikwaakananga bhandunji bhabho? Nng'oo! Pabha nkali nne namwene na Ng'ishilaeli, jwa lukolo lwa a Bhulaimu, kabhila ja a Bhenjamini.
2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,
A Nnungu bhangaakananga bhandunji bhabho bhubhaagulenje kuumila bhukala. Eu nkakugamanyanga Majandiko shigabheleketa ga a Eliya? Shibhashite kwaalugulanga Ishilaeli kwa a Nnungu kuti,
3 “Lord, they have killed yoʋr prophets and demolished yoʋr altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life”?
“Mmakulungwa, bhashikwaabhulaganga ashinkulondola bhenu nibhomola itala yenu. Nepeshe nne jikape, numbe bhapinga mulaganga!”
4 But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed down to Baal.”
Bhuli a Nnungu bhaajangwileje nndi? “Njikwilepesheya bhandunji elupu shabha bhangatindibhalilanga shanamu sha nnungu ashemwa Bhaali.”
5 So then, in the present time also there is a remnant chosen by grace.
Bhai nneyo peyo nkali agano mobha gano, bhapalinji bhalepekenje bhaagwilwenje kwa nema.
6 Now if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace. But if it is by works, it is no longer grace, otherwise work would no longer be work.
Bhai ibhaga bhaagwilwenje kwa nema, nngabha bhaagwilwenje kwa itendi, na ibhaga bhaagwilwenje kwa itendi, nngabha bhaagwilwenje kwa nema.
7 What then? Israel did not obtain what it was seeking. The chosen obtained it, but the rest were hardened,
Igala nndi? Shindu shibhaloleyangaga Ishilaeli shila bhangashipatanga. Bhashipatilenje ni bhaagwilwenje bhala, ikabheje bhananji ninonopeywa mitima.
8 as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, down to this very day.”
Malinga Majandiko shigalugula, “A Nnungu bhashikwaanonopeyanga mitima jabhonji, Na meyo gabhonji ganalole Na wala makutu gabhonji ganapilikane mpaka lelo.”
9 And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
Na a Daudi gubhashite, “Kalamu yabhonji ibhe lukonji lwya kwaatanjiyanga muyanyata, Na shindu sha kwiikubhala, bhagwanganje ni ukumulwa mboteko.
10 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and keep their backs forever bent.”
Meyo gabhonji gatagwe lubhindu Bhanalolanje. Migongo jabhonji jipinde mobha gowe!”
11 I ask then, did the Israelites stumble so as to fall? Certainly not! Rather, by their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke Israel to jealousy.
Bhai ngunabhuya kabhili, bhuli, Bhayaudi bhashinkwiikubhalanga nigwanganga kaje? Ng'oo! Ikabheje kwa lebha kwabhonji, ntapulo uishe ku bhandu bha ilambo ina, nkupinga ashaayene bhakolanje lupimilo.
12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will it mean when their full number is included?
Bhai monaga kulebha kwa Bhayaudi kushibha utajili kushilambolyo na kulebha kwabhonji kushibha utajili ku bhandu bhananji bha ilambo ina, bhuli aki jabhonji nngabha shijibhe utajili gwa punda?
13 Now I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry
Bhai, ngunabheleketa na mmanganyanji nninginji nngabha Bhayaudi. Pabha nne ntume jwa bhandunji bha ilambo ina, numbe nne ngunakwiiniya ga liengo lyangu,
14 if somehow I provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.
nkupinga naatendanje ashaalongo ajangu bhammonelanje lupimililo mmanganyanji naatapulanje bhananji munkumbi gwabhonji.
15 For if their rejection means reconciliation for the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?
Bhai monaga kukanwa kwabhonji kushilundanya bhandunji na a Nnungu, bhuli kuposhelwa kwabhonji shikubhe nndi, ikabhe gumi ku bhawilenje?
16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Monaga nnimbu ubhaga gwa ukonjelo, bhai, gakagulago shigabhe ga ukonjelo na litepo libhaga lya ukonjelo na nyambi shiibhe nneyo peyo.
17 Now if some of the branches have been broken off, and yoʋ, a wild olive branch, have been grafted in among them and have become a fellow partaker of the root and richness of the olive tree,
Nyambi ina ya misheituni ishelilwe, nipandishila nyambi ya nsheituni nng'itu. Bhai, mmanganyanji nninginji nngabha Bhayaudi, ni lujambi lwa nsheituni nng'itu. Nnaino nnakwiikonjanga utwenje gwa litepo lya nsheituni gwa nshitalu.
18 do not boast against the branches. But if yoʋ do boast against them, remember that yoʋ do not sustain the root, but the root sustains yoʋ.
Nnainyegayanje nyambi ishelilwe ila, eu monaga nkuipuna, bhai nkumbushile kuti nngabha mmwe nkujigala litepo, ikabheje litepo ni likunnjigala mmwe.
19 Yoʋ will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
Pana shimmelekete kuti, “Nyambi ila yashinkushelwa nkupinga mbandishilwe nne.”
20 Right! They were broken off because of unbelief, but yoʋ stand because of faith. So do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
Elo! Yashinkushelwa kwa ligongo lya ungakulupalila, ikabheje mmwe nshipandishilwa kwa ligongo lya ngulupai yenu, nnailumbilile ikabhe nnjogope.
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare yoʋ either.
Pabha monaga a Nnungu bhangaaleshelelanga Bhayaudi bhalinginji malinga nyambi iyene, bhuli punkuganishiya shibhammonele shiya mmwe?
22 Consider therefore the kindness and severity of God: to those who have fallen, severity; but to yoʋ, kindness, if yoʋ continue in his kindness; otherwise yoʋ too will be cut off.
Nnole uguja gwa a Nnungu na shibhakuti kalipa kwa bhaagwanganga, ikabheje bhanguja kwenu mmwe, monaga shinnonjeye muuguja gwabho. Bhai ikabhe nneyo, numbe mmwe shinshelwe.
23 And if they do not continue in unbelief, they will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.
Nabhalabhonji Bhayaudi bhalekangaga ungakulupalila gwabhonji, shibhapandishilwanje kabhili. Pabha a Nnungu bhanakombola kwapandishilanga kabhili.
24 For if yoʋ were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will the natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree?
Monaga mmanganyanji mwashinkushelwanga kopoka munsheituni nng'itu, gumpandishilwenje munsheituni gwa nshitalu, bhai pangali ukomu ashaayenenji bhashelilwenje, nipandishilwa kabhili munkongo gwabhonji.
25 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation: A partial hardening has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles has come in,
Ashaalongo ajangu, nne ngunapinga nshimanyanje ashino shinjubhi shino, nkupinga nnaibhonanje kuti nshikolanga nngomo. Kunonopa kwa mitima ja Ishilaeli pukwaaliji nngabha kwa lonjeya, mpaka bhandunji bha ilambo ina pushibhaamanyanje a Nnungu.
26 and in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion and will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”
Penepo Ishilaeli bhowe shibhatapulwanje, malinga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo shigataya kuti, “Nkugombola shaishe kopoka ku Shayuni, Shaalushoye lubheleko lwa a Yakobho muilebho yabho.
27 “And this will be my covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”
Gegano ni malagano gangu na bhene bhanganyabho pushinaaleshelelanje yambi yabhonji.”
28 With respect to the gospel, the Israelites are enemies for your sake; but with respect to being chosen, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
Bhai kwa ligongo lya Ngani ja Mmbone bhashibhanganga bhamagongo ajenunji, ikabheje ga agulwa kwabhonji bhaapingwanga na a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya asha nakulu bhabhonji bha bhukala.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.
Pabha a Nnungu bhakatendebhuka kwa upo yabho wala nshemo gwabho.
30 Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience,
Pabha malinga mmanganyanji bhukala shumwaaleshilenje a Nnungu, ikabheje nnaino bhashikummonelanga shiya kwa ligongo lya lebha kwa Bhaishilaeli.
31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they also may receive mercy.
Nneyo peyo na Bhaishilaeli bhashilebhanga nkupinga kubhonelwa shiya kwenunji, na bhalabhonji bhabhonelwanje shiya.
Pabha a Nnungu bhashikwaatabhanga bhandu bhowe muilebho yabhonji, nkupinga bhaabhonelanje shiya bhowe. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh the depth of the riches, wisdom, and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and untraceable his ways!
Nnole, shiushite punda upalume gwa lunda na lumanyio lwa a Nnungu! Ukumu yabho jwakwa jwa kombola kwiimanya, wala mipango jabho jwakwa akujimanya!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has become his counselor?”
Pabha gani aimanyi ng'aniyo ya Bhakulungwa? Eu gani abhapele lunda?
35 “Or who has first given to God, that he should be repaid?”
Eu gani shakombole kwaapa shindu bhenebho, Nkupinga abhujishiywe kabhili shenesho?
