Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me testimony in the Holy Spirit,
Ngunabheleketa kweli nkulundana na a Kilishitu na wala nngabha unami, ng'aniyo yangu ya muntima nkulongoywa naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo inangong'ondela,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
kuti njiinjika kaje na mboteko yangali mpelo muntima gwangu.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ, for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Ikaliji mbaya nne kuloshwa na lekanywa na a Kilishitu, monaga shiyaapwaanje ashaalongo ajangu bha shipinga shangu.
4 Who are Israelites; to whom [pertain] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
Ni Bhaishilaeli bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu kubha bhana bhabho, gubhapegwilwenje ukonjelo, na miadi, na shalia, na lilanga lya tindibhalila, na malagano ga a Nnungu.
5 Whose [are] the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh, Christ [came], who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Bhanganyabho ni uukulu gwa ashaambuje, ni kubhabhelekwe a Kilishitu shigundu. A Nnungu bhaatagwala indu yowe, bhakuywe pitipiti. Amina. (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they [are] not all Israel, who are [descendants] from Israel?
Nngabha kuti miadi ja a Nnungu jangamalila. Pabha nngabha Bhaishilaeli bhowe bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu.
7 Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Wala nngabha bhowe bhabhelekwenje kwa a Bhulaimu kuti ni bhana bhabho, ikabhe malinga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo shigalugula, “Bhana bhenu shibhakoposhelanje kwa a Ishaka.”
8 That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Yani nngabha bhabhelekwenjepe ni bhalinginji bhana bha a Nnungu, ikabhe bhabhelekwenje kwa ligongo lya miadi ja a Nnungu, ni bhalinginji bhana bhabho.
9 For this [is] the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Pabha miadi jiyene jikuti nnei, “Malinga malanga gano shimuje, na a Shala shibhakole mwana jwannume.”
10 And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac,
Na nngabha nneyo pe, ikabhe nkali na bhalabho a Lebheka, gubhakwete bhammba kubhashileu bhamo, a Ishaka anakulu bhetu.
11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)
Ikabheje bhana bhala bhakanabhe bhelekwanga na wala bhakanabhe kombolanga kushimanya sha mmbone eu shanyata, bhai nkupinga luagu lwa bhayene a Nnungu lubhoneshe,
12 It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
nngabha kwa ligongo lya itendi, ikabhe kwa tumbilila kwabho bhayene, a Lebheka gubhabhalanjilwe kuti, jwa nkulu shantumishile jwa nnung'una.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Malinga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo shigalugula, “Njikumpinga Yakobho, ikabhe Eshau njikunkana.”
14 What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? By no means.
Bhai tubhelekete nndi? A Nnungu bhakaakagula aki? Ng'oo!
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Pabha kungai a Nnungu bhaabhalanjile a Musha, “Shinimmonele shiya jungumpinga kummonela shiya, na shininnjangutile jungupinga kunnjangutila.”
16 So then, [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
Bhai monaga nneyo, nngabha kwa pinga wala kwa tumbila kuka mundu, ikabhe kwa shiya sha a Nnungu.
17 For the scripture saith to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Pabha Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kwa ngani ja a Palao gakuti, “Njikumpa upalume nkupinga kwenu mmwe, nanguye mashili gangu na lina lyangu lishume nshilambolyo.”
18 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.
Bhai monaga nneyo, jubhapinga kummonela shiya, bhanakummonela shiya na jubhapinga kunnonopya ntima, bhanakunnonopya.
19 Thou wilt say then to me, Why doth he yet find fault? for who hath resisted his will?
Pana shimmuye, “Pakuti bhanakutugamba tubhandu? Gani akombola kuibhilila ibhapinga a Nnungu.”
20 No, but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus?
Ikabheje mmwe anamundu, mmwe agani nkwaatauka a Nnungu? Bhuli shindu shipengenywe kukombola kummalanjila jwene ashipengenye, “Kwa nndi kumbanganya nnei?”
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay of the same lump to make one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?
Eu bhuli, nkugumba akaengwa kwa lilongo lyakwe kugumba shoshowe, kugumba shindu shimo sha ishima na shina sha kawaida?
22 [What] if God, willing to show [his] wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Bhai shipali nndi? A Nnungu bhashinkupinga kulangula kutumbala kwabho na mashili gabho, kwa nneyo bhashinkwaapilililanga kaje bhalinginji ndumbililo ya tumbala kwabho, bhapinjikwenje kuangabhanywa.
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
Numbe bhashinkupinga kulanguya ukonjelo gwabho gwangwinji kwetu uwe, tuli ndumbililo ya shiya shabho, bhatubhishile kuumila bhukala tuposhele ukonjelo gwabho.
24 Even us whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.
Ni uwe bhatushemile, nngabha bha munkumbi gwa Bhayaudipe, ikabhe nkali bhandunji bha ilambo ina.
25 As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them My people, who were not my people; and her Beloved, who was not beloved.
Malinga shibhaalugula nshitabhu sha a Osheya kuti, “Bhene bhalinginji nngabha bhandu bhangu Shinaashemanje, ‘Bhandu bhangu!’ Na aliji jwangapingwa na nne Shaashemwe, ‘Apingwa na nne!’
26 And it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people; there shall they be called, The children of the living God.
Na shiibhe pene pubhabhalanjilwenje, ‘Mmanganyanji nngabha bhandu bhangu’ Penepo shibhashemwanje, ‘Bhana bha a Nnungu bhakwete gumi’”
27 Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Numbe a Ishaya ga bha Ishilaeli bhanakweya lilobhe bhalinkuti, “Nkali bhana bha bha Ishilaeli bhashulukanje malinga nng'anji gwa ku bhaali, bhapinga tapulwanga ni bhashokope.
28 For he will finish the work, and cut [it] short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Pabha Bhakulungwa shibhatende ukumu jabho pashilambolyo jitimilile kwa kaje shangupe.”
29 And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah.
Numbe malinga a Ishaya shibhalongolele bheleketa kuti, “Kaliji Bhakulungwa bha bhandu bhowe pa shilambolyo bhakanatuleshele bhana, tukaliji malinga bhandunji bha shilambo sha Shodoma tukalingenywe na bhandunji bha shilambo sha Gomola.”
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith:
Bhai tubhelekete nndi? Kuti bhandunji bha ilambo ina bhangaloleyanga kukola aki, bhapatilenje aki kwa ngulupai.
31 But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Ikabheje bha Ishilaeli bhaloleyangaga aki kwa shalia, bhangajipatanga.
32 Why? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;
Kwa nndi? Pabha bhangakagulilanga kwa ngulupai, ikabhe kwa kamulila shalia ja a Musha, kwa nneyo gubhaikubhelenje nniganga lya kubhala lila.
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone, and rock of offense: and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Malinga shigalugula Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti, “Nnole ngunabhika ku Shayuni liganga lya kwiikubhala, Liganga likulu lya gwiya bhandu. Ikabheje jojowe shaabhakulupalile akatokomala.”
