Romans 11
1 I ask then, Has God cast off His People? No, indeed. Why, I myself am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham and of the tribe of Benjamin.
Basi nijobha, je, K'yara abhabelili bhanu bha muene? Hata kidusu. Kwa kujha nene kabhele na Mwiisraeli, ghwa lukholo lwa Abrahamu, ghwa likabila lya Benyamini.
2 God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah--how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,
K'yara abhabelilepi bhanu bha muene, bhaabhamanyili kuhoma kubhwandeli. Je mumanyilepi liandiku lijobhabhuli kuhusu Eliya, namna kyaan'sihili K'yara panani pa bha Israeli?
3 "Lord, they have put Thy Prophets to death, and have overthrown Thy altars; and, now that I alone remain, they are thirsting for my blood"?
“Bwana, bhabhakhomili manabii bhajhobhi, ni bhene bhabomuili madhabahu gha jhobhi. Nene ne muene nisiele, ni bhene bhilonda uhai bhwa nene.”
4 But what did God say to him in reply? "I have reserved for Myself 7,000 men who have never bent the knee to Baal."
Lakini lijibu lya K'yara lijobhuli kwa bhebhe? “Nitunzili kwandabha jha nene bhanu elfu saba ambabho bhakampigila lepi magoti Baali.”
5 In the same way also at the present time there has come to be a remnant whom God in His grace has selected.
Hata nahu, wakati obho bhwa henu kabhele bhajhele bhabhasiele kwa ndabha jha uchaguzi bhwa neema.
6 But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer.
Lakini jhikajhiajhi kwa neema, sio kabhele kwa matendo, finginefyo neema jhibetalepi kujha kabhele neema.
7 How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.
Kiki kabhele? Lijambo ambalyo Israeli akajha akalilonda, akikabhi lepi, bali bhateule bhakikabhili, ni bhamana bhajhongesibhu uzito.
8 And so Scripture says, "God has given them a spirit of drowsiness--eyes to see nothing with and ears to hear nothing with--even until now."
Ni kama kyajhilembibhu: “K'yara abhapelili roho jha ubutu, mihu ili bhasibhone, ni mb'ol'okhoto ili bhasipel'eki mpaka lelu ejhe.”
9 And David says, "Let their very food become a snare and a trap to them, a stumbling-block and a retribution.
Ni muene Daudi ijobha, “Silekajhi meza sya bhene sijhelayi mikwabhu, miteghu, sehemu jha kwikungufula ni kulepesya kisasi dhidi jha bhene.
10 Let darkness come over their eyes that they may be unable to see, and make Thou their backs continually to stoop."
Ghalekayi mihu gha bhene ghasopibhwayi ngisi ili bhasibhwesi kulola. Ukabhajhinimisiajhi migongo ghya bhene daima.”
11 I ask, however, "Have they stumbled so as to be finally ruined?" No, indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come to the Gentiles in order to arouse the jealousy of the descendants of Israel;
Basi nijobha, “Je, bhakikungufuili bila kubina?” Jhisijhi naha kamwe. Badala jhiake, kwa kusindwa kwa bhene, bhwokovu bhufikili kwa bha Mataifa, ili bhabho bhene bhajhelayi ni bhuifu.
12 and if their lapse is the enriching of the world, and their overthrow the enriching of the Gentiles, will not still greater good follow their restoration?
Henu jhikajhiajhi kusindwa kwa bhene ndo utajiri bhwa ulimwengu ni kama hasara jha bhene ndo utajiri bhwa mataifa, ndo kiasi khelekhu nesu kibetakujha kukamilika kwa bhene?
13 But to you Gentiles I say that, since I am an Apostle specially sent to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry,
Ni henu nilongela namu bhanu bha Mataifa. Kwa kujha na mtume kwa bhanu bha Mataifa ghangi, ni kwifunila huduma jha jhoni.
14 trying whether I can succeed in rousing my own countrymen to jealousy and thus save some of them.
Labda nibetakubhapela bhwifu bhabhajhele mb'el'e umonga ni nene. Labda twibeta kubhaokola baadhi jha bhene.
15 For if their having been cast aside has carried with it the reconciliation of the world, what will their being accepted again be but Life out of death?
Ndabha jhikajhelayi kubelekeli bhwa kwa bhene ndo maridhiano gha dunia, kupokelibhwa kwa bhene kubetakujha bhuli ili bhuomi kuhoma kwa bhafu?
16 Now if the firstfruits of the dough are holy, so also is the whole mass; and if the root of a tree is holy, so also are the branches.
Kama matunda gha kubhwandu ndo akiba, ndo kyajhijhele ku lidonge lya sembe. Kama mzizi ndo akiba, matawi ni ghene.
17 And if some of the branches have been pruned away, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among them and have become a sharer with others in the rich sap of the root of the olive tree,
Lakini kama baadhi jha matafi ghadumulibhu, kama bhebhe litafi lya mudasi lya misyongoti, bhwapandibhu pagati pa bhene, ni kama ghwashiriki pamonga ni bhene mu mizizi ghya utajiri bhwa misyongoti,
18 beware of glorying over the natural branches. Or if you are so glorying, do not forget that it is not you who uphold the root: the root upholds you.
usikitufyi panani pa matafi. Lakini kama ukisifila, bhebhelepi jhaukajhitangatila mizizi bali mizizi ghikutangatila bhebhe.
19 "Branches have been lopped off," you will say, "for the sake of my being grafted in."
Basi wibetakujobha, “Matafi ghadumulibhu ili nikabhayi kupandikisibhwa mu lishina.”
20 This is true; yet it was their unbelief that cut them off, and you only stand through your faith.
Ejhu ndo kweli. Kwa ndabha jha kutokukiera kwa bhene bhadumulibhu, lakini bhebhe ghwajhemili imara kwandabha jha imani jha jhobhi. Usikifikiriri ghwe muene kwa hali jha panani nesu, bali tilayi.
21 Do not be puffed up with pride. Tremble rather--for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.
Kwa ndabha akajhiajhi k'yara aghalekilepi mataifa gha asili, ibetalepi kuhurumila bhebhe kabhele.
22 Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.
Langayi, basi, matendo manofu ni bhukali bhwa K'yara. Kwa lubhafu lumonga, ukalibhwahidili panani pa Bhayahudi ambabho bhabinili. Lakini kwa lubhafu longi bhwema bhwa K'yara bhwihida panani pa jhobhi kam wibeta kudumu mu wema bhwa muene. La sivyo ni bhebhe wibetakudumulibhwa patali.
23 Moreover, if they turn from their unbelief, they too will be grafted in. For God is powerful enough to graft them in again;
Ni kabhele, kama bhibetalepi kujhendelela, mu kutokukiera kwa bhene bhibetakubandibhwa kabhele.
24 and if you were cut from that which by nature is a wild olive and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree, how much more certainly will these natural branches be grafted on their own olive tree?
Ndabha K'yara ajhe ni bhuwezo bhwa kupandikisya kabhele. Kwa ndabha jhikajhiajhi muenga mwadumulibhu kwibhala kwa bhujhele bhwa asili jha n'spngoti bhwa mudasi, ni kinyume kya asili mwapandikisibhu mu n'syongoti bhwabhujhele bhunofu, nesu lepi abha Bhayahudi, ambabho ndo kama matafi gha asili kubhwesya kupandikisibhwa kabhele mugati mu mizeituni bhabhu bhene?
25 For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves--the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;
Kwa ndabha bhalongo nilonda lepi musimanyi, kuhusiana ni siri ejhe, ili kwamba musijhi ni hekima mu kufikiri kwa jhomu mwebhene. Siri ejhe ndo kwamba bhunonono bhuhomili Israeli, hadi kukamilika kwa mataifa pawibetakuhida.
26 and so all Israel will be saved. As is declared in Scripture, "From Mount Zion a Deliverer will come: He will remove all ungodliness from Jacob;
Efyo Israeli bhoha bhibetakuokolibhwa, kama kyajhilembibhu: “Kuhoma Sayuni ibetakuhida Mkombokozi. Ibetakuubhosya bhuovu kuhoma kwa Yakobo.
27 and this shall be My Covenant with them; when I have taken away their sins."
Ni e'le libetakujha liagano lya nene pamonga ni bhene, panibetakusibhosya dhambi sya bhene.”
28 In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.
Ku lubhafu lumonga kuhusu injili, bhidadibhwa kwa ndabha jha muenga. Kwa lubhafu l'ongi kutokana ni bhusalanu bhwa K'yara, bhaganikibhu kwandabha jha bhakhokho.
29 For God does not repent of His free gifts nor of His call;
Kwa kujha zawadi ni bhwitobhwa K'yara bhwibadilika lepi.
30 but just as you were formerly disobedient to Him, but now have received mercy at a time when they are disobedient,
Kwa ndabha kubhwandelu muenga mwan'kosili K'yara, henu mujhipokili rehema kwandabha jha kuasi kwa muenga.
31 so now they also have been disobedient at a time when you are receiving mercy; so that to them too there may now be mercy.
Kwa njela jhejhuejhu, henu abha Bhayahudi bhan'kosili. Matokeo ghake ndo kujha kuhomela ni k'esa jha mupelibhu muenga bhibhuesya kabhele kupokela rehema.
32 For God has locked up all in the prison of unbelief, that upon all alike He may have mercy. (eleēsē g1653)
Ndabha K'yara abhadendili bhanu bhoha mu kuasi, ili abhwesiajhi kubhahurumila bhoha. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh, how inexhaustible are God's resources and God's wisdom and God's knowledge! How impossible it is to search into His decrees or trace His footsteps!
Namna kyasijhele sibhaha bhutajiri ni hekima ni maaria gha K'yara! Sichunguzika lepi hukumu sya muene, ni njela sya muene sigundulika lepi!
34 "Who has ever known the mind of the Lord, or shared His counsels?"
“Ndabha niani jhaajhimanyili nia jha Bwana? Au niani mshauri ghwa muene?
35 "Who has first given God anything, so as to receive payment in return?"
Au niani hoti jha ampelili khenu K'yara, ili alepibhwayi kabhele?”
36 For the universe owes its origin to Him, was created by Him, and has its aim and purpose in Him. To Him be the glory throughout the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kwa ndabha kuhoma kwa muene, ni kwa njela jha muene ni kwa muene, fenu fyoha fijhele. Kwa muene bhujhelayi utukufu milele. Amina. (aiōn g165)
