Loma 11
1 Lanwani n yedi: U TIENU luni O nibuolu Isalelenba bii? Kalam! mini n baa, n tie Isalele buolu, ABALAHAMA puoli ŋuanu leni BENJAMINA buolu yua.
I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 U TIENU naa luni O nibualu wan den tuodi ki bani yaaba. yii bani i diani n yedi yaala naani kani ke ELIA den yenbidi U TIENU kani ISALELE buolu yaaba po ki yedi:
God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
3 N DIEDO bi kpa a sawalipuaba ki go tudi ki luni a padibinbina; MINI N bebe n sieni, ke bi go lingi ki ba ñani n moko ya miali.
“Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
4 Ama U TIENU den guani o be? O den guani ki yedi o; n kubi n yuli po niba tuda lele, yaaba n daa gbaani ki pugi baali.
But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Li go tie yenma moala na, nitianba sieni, U TIENU n gandi yaaba kelima o ŋanbili po.
Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 Lanwani li yaa tie ke o gandima ŋua o ŋanbili, laa ŋua a tuona. Lani yaka o ŋanbili ki go tie ŋanbili. Li yaa tie leni a tuona, laa go tie ŋanbili, lani yaaka a tuona ki go tie tuona.
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
7 Lankuli doagidi be? ISALELE buolu yaaba naa baa ban den lingi yaala leni li yankuali. Ama U TIENU n gandi yaaba bebe n baa la, yaaba n sieni kuli ya pala den juaga.
What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
8 Nani lan diani maama: U TIENU kuani bi niinni mi guama yantiali ke bi gonbidi. Bi pia i nuni ki naa nua liba, bi pia a tuba moko ki naa gba liba ki taa ki pundi ŋali dinla.
According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”
9 DAFIDI moko yedi: bi sajekaani n tua bi po diagu, leni taalu leni tingbali bonla. ban baa bi biadima panpaani.
David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
10 Bi nuni n tadigi ki da go nua, bi ciamu n poali ki buani ya yogunu kuli po.
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
11 Lanwani n yedi: Naani bi tuudi ki baa yoo? yeni ka. Ama bi tingbali teni ke bi nilanba fidi ki baa mi tindima ke lan ya ñundi bani Isalelenba li mutuoli.
I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
12 TO, Isalele buolu yaaba tingbali ya cuani a sela ŋanduna kuli po, ke bi gbalima mo teni ke bi nilanba mo baa a sela, laa pia kuli tama bi ya guani U TIENU kani bi baa cuani ŋanduna kuli po ya sela n yaba ki cie.
Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
13 Moala n maadi leni yinba bi nilanba kelima n tie U TIENU tondo bi nilanba po; n jigini min pia ya tuonli bi nilanba siiga.
For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an emissary to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
14 Ke li ya baa tuo min yaa ñundi n buolu yaaba li mutuoli ki nan fidi ki faabi bi siiga bi tianba.
if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 Kelima U TIENU n da den yie Isalele buolu yaaba yeni yaa den teni ke ŋanduna yaaba mangi leni o, O yaa guani ki tuo bipo li baa tua lede? li baa tie nani bi tinkpiba n guani ki baa li miali yeni.
For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
16 Li bonluonkakpiala ya gagidi ki ŋani, li jiema moko gagidi ki ŋani, bu tibu jiinu yaa gagidi ki ŋani U TIENU po, bu beni moko gagidi ki ŋani opo.
If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 Ama li ya tie ke i bentiami jia ki ñani, ke fini, yua n tie olife tilanbu yaa benu tugini laa beni kaanu ki baadi olife tiŋukaabu yaa jiinu n puuni yaa sinma.
But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in amongst them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
18 Da kpiagi a yuli ki fali ban den jia ki ñani ya beni. A ya kpiagi a yuli, ŋan bandi ke fini ka tugi u jiinu, ama u jiinu n tugi a.
don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
19 Lanwani a baa yedi: bi den jia ki ñani i benmoani ki baa tugini mini.
You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
20 Li tie moamoani; bi den jia ki ñani bani kelima bi dandanluoma po, fini mo ye lieni kelima li dandanli yaapo. Lanwani ŋan da kpiagi a yuli, ama ŋan ya jie.
True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
21 Kelima U TIENU yaa ki den cedi i benmoani yii n den ye yi kaanceli, O kan cedi fini moko.
for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
22 Lanwani ŋan kpaagi U TIENU ŋanbili leni O mabinli po. O den mabini yaaba n den baa, ki ŋanbi a yaa po. ŋan ya se laa ŋanbili nni, lani yaaka O baa jia ki ñani a moko.
See then the goodness and severity of God. Towards those who fell, severity; but towards you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
23 Li tie yenma bi yaapo moko, bi ya cedi ki naa go suagi liiga bi dandanluoma nni, bi baa guani ki tugini ba bu tiŋanbu nni, kelima U TIENU pia u paalu ki baa guani ki tugini ba.
They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 LI ya tie ke fini yua n tie olifi tilanbu ya benu den jia ki tugini yaa olife tibu n tie tiŋukaabu ki naa tie a yaa buolu kani, lanwani laa pia kuli tama ke bani moko baa fidi ki goa ki tugini bani biba yaa tibu kani nani bu buolu n tie maama.
For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 N kpiiba mii bua yaa bondoaginkaala n tie na n ya boani yi, ke yin da nua yi yula ke yi tie yanfodanba. Isalele buolu siiga bi tianba pala juagi ŋali bi nilanba n baa kua U TIENU tindima nni ki pundi ki dagidi cain.
For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
26 Yeni Isalele buolu yaaba kuli ba tindi nani lan diani maama: O faabikoa baa ña Siyono po, ki ñani U TIENU yiema kuli Jakoabo puoliŋuani pala nni.
and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 Lani n baa tie n ŋantaado leni ba min ñani bi tuonbiadi ya yogunu.
This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
28 Yaala n tie o laabaaliŋamo maama po, bi tie U TIENU yibalinba yinba bi nilanba ya ŋamu po. Ama U TIENU gandima po, bi tie U TIENU buakaaba kelima bi yaajanba po.
Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
29 Kelima U TIENU paabu leni o yiinu naa pia lebidima.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30 Yaa yogunu n pendi yinba bi nilanba den yie ki naa tiendi U TIENU n bili yaala. Ama moala Isalele buolu yaaba yaa yiema po, yi baa ke O gbadi yipo mi niñima.
For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
31 Li go tie yeni, Isalele buolu yaaba yie ki naa tiendi U TIENU n bili yaala ke bani moko n baa U TIENU n gbadi bipo mi niñima nani wan gbadi yi mo yaapo mi niñima maama.
even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
32 Kelima U TIENU luoni bi nisaaliba kuli bi yiema nni ki baa yuandi ki gbadi bikuli po mi niñima. (eleēsē g1653)
For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 U TIENU ŋalimani, O yanfuoma leni O banma yaba ki ñua ki pendi bi nisaaliba bandima kuli. O yanjaga pendi bi nisaaliba n fidi ki kpaagi yaala. Baa fidi ki bandi yaala yaapo ke O tieni wan tiendi yaala.
Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways past tracing out!
34 ŋmee n bandi O DIEDO yankpaagili, bi ŋmee n tua O tundikoa.
“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counsellor?”
35 ŋmee n den kpa cili ki puni U TIENU bu paabu, ke wani U TIENU mo baa guani o tiladi?
“Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
