Romans 11
1 I say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:
Nipele, nguusya, ana Akunnungu ŵakanile ŵandu ŵakwe? Ngwamba! Uneji nansyene ndili Mwisilaeli jwa uŵelesi u che Iblahimu ni jwa lukosyo lu che Benyamini.
2 God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have ye not known — in Elijah — what the Writing saith? how he doth plead with God concerning Israel, saying,
Akunnungu nganiŵakana ŵandu ŵakwe ŵaŵasagwile chitandile kundanda. Nkukumbuchila yagakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu nkati che Elia, katema paŵalalatile Ŵaisilaeli paujo pa Akunnungu?
3 'Lord, Thy prophets they did kill, and Thy altars they dug down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;'
Ŵatite, “Ambuje, ŵauleje ŵakulondola ŵenu ni kugumula ilisa yenu, noneji sigalile jika. Ni ŵanyawo akuusosa amulaje.”
4 but what saith the divine answer to him? 'I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.'
Nambo Akunnungu ŵanjanjile uli? Ŵansalile, “Nalisigachisye ŵandu elufu saba ŵaŵakanile kuntindiŵalila Baali nnungu jwa unami.”
5 So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been;
Ni iyoyo peyo katema ka sambano kano, apali ŵandu kanandi ŵasigalile ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu ligongo lya umbone wao.
6 and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work.
Lusagu lwa Akunnungu lukukulupilila umbone wakwe, ni ngiiŵa kwa ipanganyo ya ŵandu, iŵaga Akunnungu akwasagula ŵandu kwa litala lya ipanganyo yao, nipele umbone wakwe ngaukaŵe umbone wa usyene.
7 What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened,
Nipele, itite uli? Chindu chiŵachisosaga Ŵaisilaeli nganachisimana, nambo aŵala ŵaŵasagulikwe ŵachisimene, ni ŵane ŵaŵasigalile wo Akunnungu ŵatesile aŵe ŵakukakatima ntima.
8 according as it hath been written, 'God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' — unto this very day,
Mpela yaitite kulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Akunnungu ŵaapele lunda lwangamanyilila, ŵaapele meeso nambo ngakulola ni ŵaapele mawiwi nambo ngakupilikana mpaka lelo jino.”
9 and David saith, 'Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them;
Ni che Daudi akuti, “Chindimba chao chiŵe chitanje chakwatanjisya, agwanje ni kulagaswa.
10 let their eyes be darkened — not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.'
Meeso gao gatajikwe chipi kuti akalola ni migongo jao jipindiche moŵa gose.”
11 I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation [is] to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;
Nipele, nguusya sooni, ana Ŵayahudi alikuŵele kwichila kugwa kusyene? Ngwamba! Nambo kwa chileŵo cha Ŵayahudi, ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi waichilile ukulupusyo, kuti Ŵayahudi ŵakolele wiu.
12 and if the fall of them [is] the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them?
Kuleŵa kwa Ŵayahudi kuichisye upile weujinji pachilambo, ni kupunguchilwa kwao kwa chikulupi kuichisye upile weujinji kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Ana ngakukuichisya upile wakupunda nnope katema Ŵayahudi wose pachiŵaujilile Akunnungu?
13 For to you I speak — to the nations — inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;
Sambano, nguŵecheta ni mwanya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Pakuŵa uneji ndili nduna kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ngulilapila masengo gangu.
14 if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them,
Pane chingombole kwatenda Ŵayahudi akole wiu kuti ngombole kwakulupusya ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo.
15 for if the casting away of them [is] a reconciliation of the world, what the reception — if not life out of the dead?
Pakuŵa iŵaga kukanikwa kwao ni Akunnungu kuichisye kwilana pasikati ja Akunnungu ni ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo, isyene pachakundikwe ni Akunnungu chikuŵe mpela kuichisya umi kwa ŵandu ŵawile.
16 and if the first-fruit [is] holy, the lump also; and if the root [is] holy, the branches also.
Naga chipande chandanda cha nkate chityochekwe ligongo lya Akunnungu, nkate chiuŵe wakwe iyoyo peyo, ni nchiga watyochekwaga ligongo lya Akunnungu, nipele nyambi syakwe chisiŵe syakwe iyoyo peyo.
17 And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become —
Nyambi simpepe sya mseituni wepande syekate ni lujambi lwa mseituni wa mwitinji upandichikwe pachanya chitela cha mseituni wepande. Ŵanyamwe ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nkulandana ni mseituni wa mwitinji, sambano nkupoka umi wa chimbumu wa Ŵayahudi.
18 do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee!
Kwayele kasimwajalusya aŵala ŵakatikwe mpela nyambi. Ŵanyamwe nganinkola chakulifunila, pakuwa nganimma ŵanyamwe ŵankujikamulila michiga, nambo michiga jo ni jajikunkamulila ŵanyamwe.
19 Thou wilt say, then, 'The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;' right!
Panepa chinjile, “Nyambi syakatikwe melepe kuti une ngapandichikwe pachanya pakwe.”
20 by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;
Mwambone! Syakatikwe kwaligongo lya ungakulupilila wao ni mmwejo ntemi pamalo pao kwaligongo lya kukulupilila. Sambano nkalifuna nambo njogope.
21 for if God the natural branches did not spare — lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee.
Pakuŵa iŵaga Akunnungu nganiŵalechelela Ŵayahudi ŵakulandana ni nyambi sisyene, ana Akunnungu channechelele mmwe?
22 Lo, then, goodness and severity of God — upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off.
Nipele, nganichisye yankati umbone wa Akunnungu ni chikali chao nombe nacho. Ŵelewo ali ŵachikali kwa aŵala ŵagwile nambo ŵelewo ali ŵambone kwa aŵala ŵakutama mu umbone wao. Naga ngaŵa yele, nomwe ŵakwe tachintyosya.
23 And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in;
Ni Ŵayahudi nombe nawo alekaga ungakulupilila wao chapandichikwe peuto paŵaliji kundanda, pakuŵa Akunnungu akupakombola kwapandichisya sooni.
24 for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who [are] according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nkulandana ni lujambi lwa mseituni wa mwitinji lwekate ni kupandichikwa pa mseituni waupandikwe. Nambo chelechi nganichiŵa chindu chachipago. Ŵayahudi akulandana ni mseituni wepande ni chiiŵe yangasakalisya kwa Akunnungu kupandichisya sooni nyambi sisyakatikwe pa chitela chao cha chipago.
25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret — that ye may not be wise in your own conceits — that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in;
Achalongo achinjangu ngusaka mmanyilile usyene wausisiche, nambo ngusaka mmanyilile kuti nkalilapa nkwete lunda nnope. Makani ga Ŵaisilaeli galiji ga katema pe mpaka ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi wose ŵakusachilwa pachiŵaujilile Akunnungu.
26 and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, 'There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,
Pelepo Ŵaisilaeli wose chakulupuswe mpela yaitite pakulembekwa mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Mu Sayuni chachityochela nkulupusyo chachichityosya chigongomalo pasikati ja uŵelesi u che Yakobo.
27 and this to them [is] the covenant from Me, when I may take away their sins.'
Lyeleli lili lilangano lyangu lichindende ni ŵelewo katema pachinaalechelesye sambi syao.”
28 As regards, indeed, the good tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; and as regards the choice — beloved on account of the fathers;
Pakuŵa akujikana Ngani Jambone, Ŵayahudi aŵele ŵammagongo ŵa Akunnungu nambo kwa kupoka kwenu ŵanyamwe ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Nambo pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaasagwile, chiŵela Akunnungu akwanonyela kwa ligongo lya achambuje ŵao.
29 for unrepented of [are] the gifts and the calling of God;
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakugalausya nganisyo syao kwa aŵala ŵaŵasagwile ni kwapa upile.
30 for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these:
Kalakala ko ŵanyamwe nganimwajitichisya Akunnungu nambo sambano ankolele chanasa ŵanyamwe ligongo lya ungapilikanichisya wa Ŵayahudi.
31 so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness;
Iyoyo peyo mpela ŵanyamwe yantite pakukolelwa chanasa, Ŵayahudi nombewo ngakwajitichisya Akunnungu melepe kuti nombewo akolelwe chanasa.
32 for God did shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness. (eleēsē g1653)
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaatesile ŵandu wose aŵe ŵangajitichisya kuti ŵakolele chanasa ŵanawose. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
Ipanje ya Akunnungu ni lunda ni umanyilisi wao ili yekulungwa kupunda! Ngapagwa jwakupakombola kusosasosa ulamusi wao natamuno kugamanyilila matala gao.
34 for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor?
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Ana ŵaani ŵakusimanyilila ng'anisyo sya Ambuje? Ana ŵaani uchiŵasalile chakupanganya?
35 or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again?
Ana ŵaani ŵalongolele kwapa Akunnungu chindu kuti ni ŵelewo ŵauchisye?”
