< Aroma 9 >
1 Niĩ ngwaria ũhoro-wa-ma ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, ti maheeni ndĩraaria, o nayo thamiri yakwa nĩyo mũira wakwa thĩinĩ wa Roho Mũtheru,
I saye the trueth in Christ and lye not in that wherof my conscience beareth me witnes in the holy gost
2 atĩ ndĩ na kĩeha kĩnene na ruo rwa ngoro rũtarathira.
that I have gret hevynes and continuall sorowe in my hert.
3 Nĩgũkorwo ingĩendire niĩ mwene nyiitwo nĩ kĩrũmi na nyingatwo ndigithanio na Kristũ handũ-inĩ ha ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ acio a rũrĩrĩ rwitũ kĩũmbe,
For I have wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Christ for my brethren and my kynsmen as pertayninge to the flesshe
4 nĩo andũ a Isiraeli. O nĩo Ngai aatuire ciana ciake; na nĩo maikaraga na riiri wake, na no-o matuĩtwo andũ a kĩrĩkanĩro, na a kwamũkĩra watho, na a kũhooyaga hekarũ-inĩ, o na ningĩ nĩo merĩirwo ciĩranĩro.
which are the Israelites. To whom pertayneth the adopcion and the glorie and the covenauntes and the law that was geven and the service of God and the promyses:
5 Ningĩ maithe maitũ marĩa ma tene maarĩ a kĩruka kĩu, nake Kristũ aarĩ wa rũciaro rwao ha ũhoro wa mwĩrĩ, o we Ngai ũrĩa wathaga maũndũ mothe, ũrĩa ũgoocagwo nginya tene! Ameni. (aiōn )
whose also are the fathers and they of whome (as concernynge the flesshe) Christ came which is God over all thinges blessed for ever Amen. (aiōn )
6 Ũguo ti kuuga atĩ kiugo kĩa Ngai nĩkĩagĩte kũhinga. Nĩgũkorwo ti andũ othe arĩa maciarĩirwo Isiraeli marĩ andũ a Ngai a ma.
I speake not these thinges as though the wordes of god had take none effecte. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel:
7 O na ningĩ ti othe ciana cia Iburahĩmu, o na gũtuĩka nĩ a rũciaro rwake. No rĩrĩ, eerirwo atĩrĩ, “Rũciaro rũrĩa rũgeetanio nawe rũkoima harĩ Isaaka.”
nether are they all chyldren strayght waye because they are the seed of Abraham. But in Isaac shall thy seede be called:
8 Ũguo nĩ ta kuuga atĩrĩ, ti ciana iria iciarĩtwo na njĩra ya ndũire ingĩtuĩka ciana cia Ngai, no nĩ ciana cia kĩĩranĩro ituuagwo cia mbeũ ya Iburahĩmu.
that is to saye they which are the chyldren of the flesshe are not the chyldren of god. But the chyldren of promes are counted the seede.
9 Nĩgũkorwo kĩĩranĩro kĩoigĩte atĩrĩ: “Ihinda rĩrĩa rĩamũre rĩakinya nĩngacooka, nake Sara nĩakagĩa kaana ga kahĩĩ.”
For this is a worde of promes aboute this tyme will I come and Sara shall have a sonne.
10 Na to ũguo wiki, o nacio ciana cia Rebeka ciarĩ cia ithe o ũmwe, na nĩwe ithe witũ Isaaka.
Nether was it so wt her only: but also when Rebecca was with chylde by one I meane by oure father Isaac
11 No rĩrĩ, ciana icio cia mahatha itanaciarwo, o na itekĩte ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ mwega kana mũũru, nĩguo mũbango ũrĩa Ngai aathugundĩte wa gwĩthuurĩra andũ ũhinge:
yeer the chyldren were borne when they had nether done good nether bad: that the purpose of God which is by election myght stonde
12 ti na ũndũ wa ciĩko iria mekĩte, no nĩ ũndũ wa wendi wa ũcio wĩtanaga, nĩerire Rebeka atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa mũkũrũ nĩagatungatĩra ũrĩa mũnini.”
it was sayde vnto her not by the reason of workes but by grace of ye caller: the elder shall serve the yonger.
13 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Nĩndendire Jakubu, no ngĩrega Esaũ.”
As it is written: Iacob he loved but Esau he hated.
14 Tũkiuge atĩa nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio? Ngai no atuanĩre ũndũ ũtarĩ wa kĩhooto? Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!
What shall we saye then? is there eny vnrightewesses with God? God forbyd.
15 Nĩgũkorwo erire Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩiguagĩra tha ũrĩa ndenda kũiguĩra tha, na ngacaĩra ũrĩa ndenda gũcaĩra.”
For he sayth to Moses: I will shewe mercye to who I shewe mercy: and will have compassion on whom I have copassion.
16 Tondũ ũcio-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio nduonekaga nĩ ũndũ wa wendi wa mũndũ, kana nĩ ũndũ wa kĩyo gĩake, no nĩ ũndũ wa tha cia Ngai.
So lieth it not then in a mans will or cunnynge but in ye mercye of god.
17 Nĩgũkorwo Maandĩko-inĩ Firaũni erĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Ndagũtũũgĩririe nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ kĩũmbe, nĩguo nyonanie hinya wakwa thĩinĩ waku, na nĩguo rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩhunjio thĩ yothe.”
For the scripture sayth vnto Pharao: Even for this same purpose have I stered ye vp to shewe my power on ye and that my name myght be declared thorow out all the worlde.
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai aiguagĩra tha mũndũ ũrĩa enda kũiguĩra tha, na akoomia ngoro ya ũrĩa enda kũũmia.
So hath he mercye on whom he will and whom he will he maketh hearde herted.
19 Ũmwe wanyu ahota kũnjũũria atĩrĩ: “Ngai atũire atũtuagĩra mahĩtia nĩkĩ? Tondũ nũũ ũngĩkĩhota kũregana na ũrĩa Ngai ekwenda?”
Thou wilt saye then vnto me: why then blameth he vs yet? For who can resist his will?
20 No wee-rĩ, ũkĩrĩ ũ mũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũcookanĩrie na Ngai? “Kĩndũ kĩrĩa kĩombirwo-rĩ, no kĩũrie ũcio wakĩũmbire, ‘Wanyũmbire ũũ nĩkĩ?’”
But o man what arte thou which disputest with God? Shall the worke saye to the workeman: why hast thou made me on this fassion?
21 Githĩ mũũmbi wa nyũngũ ndarĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kũhũthĩra rĩũmba o ũrĩa angĩenda; kĩenyũ kĩmwe kĩa rĩũmba rĩu athondeke indo imwe cia kũhũthĩrwo na njĩra ya gũtĩĩka na ingĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mahũthĩro ma ndũire?
Hath not the potter power over the claye even of the same lompe to make one vessell vnto honoure and a nother vnto dishonoure?
22 Ĩ kũngĩkorwo Ngai, tondũ nĩathuurĩte kuonania mangʼũrĩ make na kũmenyithania hinya wake, nĩakirĩrĩirie mũno arĩ na wetereri mũnene andũ arĩa mahaana to indo icio cia kũrakarĩrwo, o icio ciahaarĩirio kwanangwo?
Even so God willynge to shewe his wrath and to make his power knowen suffered with longe pacience the vessels of wrath ordeyned to damnacion
23 Ĩ kũngĩkorwo ekaga ũguo nĩgeetha atũme ũingĩ wa riiri wake ũmenyeke nĩ arĩa mahaana ta indo iria akaiguĩra tha, arĩa aahaarĩirie o mbere matuĩke a kũgaya riiri ũcio,
that he myght declare ye ryches of his glory on the vessels of mercye which he had prepayred vnto glorie:
24 na nĩo ithuĩ, ithuĩ arĩa eetire, na to arĩa moimĩte kũrĩ Ayahudi, no nĩ kuuma o na kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ?
that is to saye vs which he called not of the Iewes only but also of ye gentyls.
25 O ta ũrĩa oigĩte Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Hosea, atĩrĩ: “Andũ arĩa matarĩ akwa nĩo ngeeta ‘andũ akwa’; nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ũtarĩ mwende nĩwe ngeeta ‘mwendwa wakwa.’”
As he sayth in Osee: I will call them my people which were not my people: and her beloved which was not beloved.
26 na ningĩ, “Nĩgũgatuĩka atĩ, o handũ harĩa meerĩirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũtirĩ andũ akwa,’ no ho mageetĩrwo ‘ariũ a Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo’.”
And it shall come to passe in the place where it was sayd vnto them ye are not my people: that there shalbe called the chyldren of the lyvynge God.
27 Naguo ũhoro ũkoniĩ Isiraeli, Isaia nĩanĩrĩire, akiuga atĩrĩ: “O na gũtuĩka andũ a Isiraeli maigana ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ-rĩ, no matigari mao makaahonoka.
But Esaias cryeth concernynge Israel though the nomber of the chyldren of Israel be as the sonde of the see yet shall a remnaut be saved.
28 Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani nĩagatuĩra andũ a gũkũ thĩ ciira o narua, na aũkinyie mũthia.”
He finyssheth the worde verely and maketh it short in ryghtwesses. For a short worde will god make on erth.
29 Na o ta ũrĩa Isaia oigĩte o mbere ũndũ ũcio ũtanakinya, atĩrĩ: “Tiga Mwathani Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aatũtigĩirie njiaro-rĩ, ithuĩ tũngĩatuĩkire ta Sodomu, na tũhaane o ta Gomora.”
And as Esaias sayd before: Except the Lorde of sabaoth had left us seede we had bene made as Zodoma and had bene lykened to Gomorra.
30 Tũkiuge atĩa ha ũhoro ũcio? Atĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, arĩa mataathingatire ũthingu, nĩmagĩire naguo, ũthingu ũrĩa ũgĩĩagwo naguo na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia;
What shall we saye then? We saye that the gentyls which followed not rightewesnes have overtaken rightewesnes: I meane the rightewesnes which cometh of fayth.
31 no atĩ andũ a Isiraeli, arĩa maathingatire watho wa ũthingu-rĩ, matiigana kũgĩa na watho ũcio.
But Israel which folowed the lawe of rightewesnes coulde not attayne vnto ye lawe of rightewesnes.
32 Maagire kũgĩa naguo nĩkĩ? Tondũ matiaũthiingatire na njĩra ya wĩtĩkio, no maũcaririe na njĩra ya gwĩka maũndũ. O nao nĩmahĩngirwo nĩ “ihiga rĩrĩa rĩhĩnganaga”.
And wherfore? Because they sought it not by fath: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they have stombled at the stomblynge stone.
33 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo: “Atĩrĩrĩ, kũu Zayuni nĩnjigĩte ihiga rĩrĩa rĩtũmaga andũ mahĩngwo, na ngaiga rwaro rwa ihiga rũrĩa rũtũmaga magũe, nake mũndũ ũrĩa ũmwĩhokete ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaaconorithio.”
As it is written: Beholde I put in Syon a stomblynge stone and a rocke which shall make men faule. And none yt beleve on him shalbe a shamed.
