Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I do not lie, and my conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
nijova isa lweli mwa Kilisite. nanijova uvudesi, uvufumbue vwango vulola palikimo nune mwa Mhepo uMwimike,
2 that for me there is great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
kuuti ali nulusukunalo lukome nu lulemasio luno nalusiala nkate ja mwoojo ghwake.
3 For I could wish that I myself would be cursed and set apart from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race according to the flesh.
nale ninoghelua kuuva une nemwene kughunivua na kuseghusivua kutali nu Kilisite vwimila avanyalukolo vango, vala va munyumba jango ku m'bili.
4 They are Israelites. They have adoption, the glory, the covenants, the gift of the law, the worship of God, and the promises.
aveene ve va Silaeli. vano vali nuvwakuvombeka kuuva vaanha va vwimike vwa lulaghilona matekelo gha ndaghilo, kunfunya uNguluve nu lufingo.
5 Theirs are the ancestors from whom Christ has come with respect to the flesh—he who is God over all. May he be praised forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
avene ve valongosi vano uKilisite iisile ku vukoola kukughufwala um'bili ughu juno umwene ghwe Nguluve ghwa fyooni. ghwope aghinuaghe kuvusila na kusila. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as though the promises of God have failed. For it is not everyone in Israel who truly belongs to Israel.
neke nakwekuuti ulufingo lwa Nguluve lukunilue kuvombeka. lwakuva na muunhu ghweni juno ali ku Isilaeli ghwe Msilaeli ghweghwene.
7 Neither are all Abraham's descendants truly his children. But, “It is through Isaac that your descendants will be called.”
Ndali nambe ku vuholuo vwa Abulahamu kuuva vaanha vake kyekyene. neke kwe kukilila uIsaka uvuholuo vwako vulikemelua”.
8 That is, the children of the flesh are not the children of God. But the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
ulu kwekuuti, avaanha va mb'ili na vaanha va va Nguluve. neke avaanha va lufingo vilolelelevua kuuva vaanha va vuholuo.
9 For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come, and a son will be given to Sarah.”
lwakuva ili lye lisio lya lufingo: “mu masiki agha nikwisa, Sala ipelua umwana”
10 Not only this, but after Rebekah also had conceived by one man, our father Isaac—
na lye ili lyene, neke uRebeka ye apatile uvukunue kwa muunhu jumo, uIsaka ubaba ghwitu,
11 for the children were not yet born and had not yet done anything good or bad, so that the purpose of God according to choice might stand, not because of actions, but because of him who calls—
kuuti avaanha ye navaholilue kange alyakyale kuvomba lyolyoni lila ilinono nambe ilivivi, neke kuuti igila ja Nguluve kuling'ana nu vutavusi lyime, nambe ku maghendele, neke vwimila kwa jula juno ikemhela.
12 it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger.”
jikajovilue kwa mwene kuuti, “umbaha ukum'bombelagha un'debe”.
13 It is just as had been written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
ndavule jalembilue: “uYakovo nilyamughanile, neke uEsau nankalalagha.
14 What then will we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be.
pe tutisagha kiki kange? pe kuli nu vuhosi kwa Nguluve? Ndali!
15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
ulwakuva ijova kwa Moose, kuuti, Niiva nu lusaghilo kwa jula juno niiva ninsaghile, kange niiva nulusungu kwa jula juno niiva ninsungile”
16 So then, it is not because of him who wills, nor because of him who runs, but because of God, who shows mercy.
pe lino na kwekuuti kwa jula juno ilonda nambe kwa jula juno ikimbila. neke vwimila Nguluve juno isoona lusaghilo.
17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I raised you up, so that I might demonstrate my power in you, and so that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
ulwakuva amalembe ghiti kwa Falao, “mu gila iji jino jinoghile nilyakutosisie, neke kuuti nisone ingufu sango kulyuve, kange neke kuuti ilitavua lyango lipulisivue mu iisi sooni”
18 So then, God has mercy on whom he wishes, and whom he wishes, he makes stubborn.
pe lino, uNguluve iva nulusaghilo kwa ghwoghwoni juno amughanile, na kwa juno ikumughana, nyamajegho.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who has ever withstood his will?”
pe ghuliti kulyune, “kiki nifikughwagha unkole? ghwe veeni juno alyavaghile ku nogheluo saake?
20 On the contrary, man, who are you who answers against God? Will what has been molded say to the one who molds it, “Why did you make me this way?”
kinsana kyake, uve veve muunhu muki ghejuno ghukwamula mulwa kupingana nu Nguluve? kuli ningufu sosoni ku kila kino kivumbilue kuuti m'bumbi, “kiki ulyanivumbile une ndiki?”
21 Does the potter not have the right over the clay to make from the same lump a container for special use, and another container for daily use?
pe um'bumbi nsila kyang'haani ku lihanga kutenda ikyombo kino kinoghile kya kutumila kuhumilanila ni lihanga lilalila, ni kyombo ikinge ikyakutumila jaatu?
22 What if God, who is willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience containers of wrath prepared for destruction?
ndani nave uNguluve juno ndeponu ivonesia ing'alasi jake na kuvonesia ingufu jake kukagulika, akikalile ku lugudo lwa kukwila ifikong'hoolo fya ng'alasi fino filyavikilue neke kubuda?
23 What if he did this in order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon containers of mercy, which he had previously prepared for glory?
ndani nave alyavombile ndiki neke kuuti avonesie uvwinga vwa vwimike vwake kyanya ja fikong'hoolo lusungu, fino alyalinganisie vwimila uvwimike?
24 What if he did this also for us, whom he also called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles?
ndani ndeve alyavombile ndiki kange kulyusue, juno kange alyatukemelile nakwekuti kuhuma kuvaYahudi vene neke kange kuhuma ku vaanhu ava pa iisi.
25 As he says also in Hosea: “I will call my people who were not my people, and her beloved who was not beloved.
ndavule fino ijova kange ku Hosea: nilikuvakemhela avaanhu vango vano navalyale vango, nu mughanike ghwake juno nalyale mughanike.
26 Then it will be that where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons of the living God.'”
kange jiliiva kuuti, pala panojikajovilue kuveene, umue namuli vaanhu vango' pala vilikemhelua vaanha vwa Nguluve juno mwumi”
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, it will be a remnant that will be saved,
uIsaya ikujililila iIsilaeli, kuuti, “nave imbalilo ja vaanha va Silaeli jale jiva hwene lihanga lwa lisumbe, ghiva ghe masala ghano ghilivangulua
28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence on the earth, completely and without delay.”
ulwakuva uMutwa ilitola ilisio lyake pa iisi, ng'haning'hani na kuvunywilifu.
29 As Isaiah had said previously, “If the Lord of hosts had not left us descendants, we would be like Sodom, and we would have become like Gomorrah.”
nambe pa vwasio ndavule uIsaya alyajovile kuuti, “ndavule uMutwa ghwa valua lilugu nalyatulekile kunsana uvuholuo vwimila jitu twale tuuve hwene Sodoma kange twale tuvombua hwene Gomola.
30 What will we say then? That the Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, obtained righteousness, the righteousness by faith.
pe tuti kiki lino? kuuti avaanhu ava pa iisi vano navalyale vilonda ikyang'haani, valyapatile ikyang'haani ku lwitiko.
31 But Israel, who did pursue a law of righteousness, did not arrive at it.
neke iIsilaeli, juno alyalondagha indaghilo ja kyang'haani naalyajaghile.
32 Why not? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but by works. They stumbled over the stone of stumbling,
kiki na uluo? ulwakuva navalyajilondile ku lwitiko, looli ku maghendele. valyakuvile pakyanya pa livue lya kukuvalila,
33 as it has been written, “Look, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. He who believes in it will not be ashamed.”
ndavule dino jilyalembilue, “lola nighonisie ilivue lya kukuvalila ku Sayuni nu mwamba ghwa kukosa. umwene juno ikwitika mu ili nailivona soni.
