Roma Yaaba 11
1 Lanwani i, n ji buali ne: “U Tienu ji luni o buolu yo oo? yeni ka! Kelima n mo tie Isirayeli yua, ki tie Abalahama puolŋuanu, ki tie Benjamini cuuli nni yua.
I ask then, did God reject His people? Certainly not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2 U Tienu ki ñɔli ya buolu ke o den tuodi ki bani hali ke li fagi. I ki bani i diani ń maadi Eli po ya maama aa? wan den fabni maama U tienu kani Isayeli yaaba po, ki tua:
God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:
3 “O Diedo, bi kpaá a sawalpuaba, ki tudi ki luni a jaanbinbinda; mini baba n sieni ke bi go lingi ke ban biani n miali.
“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?
4 Ama U Tienu guani ki jiini o be i? O jiini ki yedi: «N guuni n yuli po niba tuda lele, yaaba n dá ki gbaani ki pugi o bulo Baali.
And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Li go tie yeni i, mɔlane, nitianba sieni, ban gandi yaaba U Tienu ŋalbalgo po.
In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
6 Ama li ya tie li ŋanbli po, lani naa ŋua a tuona; lanyaaka li nan ji ki tie ŋanbli yeni i mɔni. Li ya tie ke li ŋua tuana mo, li ji ki tie ŋanbli, lanyaaka li tuona ji ki tie tuona.
And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
7 Lankuli wangi be i? Isirayeli yaaba ki baa ban den lingi yaali, ama U Tienu ŋanbli po, ban gandi yaaba baa la. yaaba n sieni ki tie pajuaga danba wani ki baa pu.
What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,
8 Nani i diani ń yedi maama: “U Tienu teni ba mi yanpiiyema, bi pia i nuni ki naa nua, ki pia a tuba ki naa gbia, hali yeni mɔla kuli.
as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”
9 Dafiidi moko yedi: “Bi jedikaanu ń tua bi po diagu, ki tua taalu bii tingbali, ban pa ki baa bi tuonbiadi po sugli.
And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
10 Bi nuni ń bɔndi, ban ji da nua, bi ciamu ń pɔli, ki buani bi jumu, ban ya tiibi yognu kuli.
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
11 N ji buali da: “Bi tuudma ji tua bi tingbali yo oo? yeni ka! Ama bi tingbali cedi ke bi nilanba baa mi faabma, ke li tua bi po ponponli, ki fiini bi pala.
I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.
12 To, bi tingbali ya tua ŋanduna po ŋalmani, ke bi pɔdma mo cedi ke bi nilanba baa ŋalmani, bikuli ya lebdi bi pala, lanya ŋalmani ka baa cie ee?
But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
13 N maadi yinba i, bi nilanba: Min tie tondo bi nilanba siiga n ne, n jaandi U Tienu n tuonli po.
I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
14 Li ya bi ba tuo, min fiini n naataani pala, ki kuani ba li ponponli, ki faabi tianba.
in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.
15 Kelima U Tienu ya luni o buolu, ke ŋanduna guani ki mangi yeni o, bi ya guani ki ŋɔdi bi Diedo, li kan tua miali ka bi tinkpiba siiga aa?
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16 Bi yedi ke a bonkpiala ya ŋani, ki dagdi U Tienu po, li tie ke ku kpaangu kuli mo ŋani, ki dagdi U Tienu po i. A jiina ya kpaa, ki dagdi U Tienu po, li tie ke a bena mo dagdi ki ŋani U Tienu po i.
If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 Bi ya cua ki ñani bentiana, ke fini tilialbu benu, ke a tugni, ki baadi bu tiŋuukaabu sinma li beni kaanu,
Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root,
18 ŋan da kpiadi a yuli i beni yeni yeli po ka. A ya kpiagdi a yuli, ŋan ya bani ke fini ka tugi a jiina; ama a jiina n tugi a.
do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 A ba maadi: “Bi cua ki ñani i beni, ke n mo fidi ki tugni.
You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
20 Li tie mɔmɔni ke ya beni n ki pia dandanli i, ke bi cua ki ñani; ke fini a tuugi kelima a dandanli po i. ŋan ji da pia japaadi, ama ŋan ya jie.
That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
21 Kelima U Tienu ya ki tuo ki ŋa bu tiiŋuukaabu beni, o kan di sugli fini bu tilialbu beni mo ya po.
For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either.
22 Lanwani i, ŋan cɔlni U Tienu ŋanbli, yeni o maba. A maba yaaba n tudi ki yie o maama po; ŋanbli fini yua n tiegi po. lanyaaka o ba cua ki ñani o mo.
Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
23 Bani yaaba n tudi mo, bi ya ki tundi ki ye mi tudma nni, ki lebdi bi pala, o ba guani ki tugni bi mo, kelima U Tienu paaciamu po, o ba fidi ki guani ki tugni bi mo.
And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Fini yua den ñani bu tiilialbu po, ke bi tugni a yeni bu tiiŋuukaabu, ke a naa tuodi ki tie bu, bani yaaba n den ñani bu tiiŋuukaabu kani n ji kan guani ki tugni yeni bi tiibuolu uu?
For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
25 Kelima, n naataani, n ki bua ke ya yaalidgu bonli ne duagi yi, ki ba cedi yin yini i yula yanfodanba; Li tie ke Isirayeli yaaba bi tianba juagi bi pala, ki baá mi tudma nni, hali ke bi nilanba kuli baa ki kua, ki baa U Tienu ŋanbli.
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
26 Lani n cedi ke Isirayeli yaaba kuli ba baa mi faabma nani lan diani maama: “O candaano ba ña Siyɔn, ki cua ki ñani ti tuonbiadi Isirayeli yaaba pali nni.”
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.
27 N ya piini bi tuonbiadi, lani n ba tua n ñɔnianu yeni ba.
And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
28 Yaali n nua o laabaalŋamo po, bi tie yibalinba kelima yinba bi nilanba ya po; ama yaali n nua ban gandi yaaba li ŋanbli po, bi tie U Tienu ń bua yaaba kelima bi yaajanba po.
Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.
29 Kelima U Tienu yiinu yeni o paabu ki pia lebdima.
For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.
30 Nani yognubá, i den ki tuo ki ŋua U Tienu ń bili ya sanu, ke bi tudma po, ke i baa U Tienu niñingbadma yeni,
Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,
31 Bi mo tudi U Tienu sanu, ke yin baa ya niñingbadma po yeni ya po, bi mo ń baa mi niñingbadma
so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
32 Kelima U Tienu luoni bi niba kuli mi ti tuonbiadi nni, ke wan fidi ki gbadi bikuli niñima. (eleēsē g1653)
For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone. (eleēsē g1653)
33 kesaa, U Tienu ŋalmani yeni o yanfuoma yeni o banma yabi ki go ñua! ŋma ba fidi ki kpaagi o yanjaga? ŋma ba fidi ki bandi o sanbila?
O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
34 ŋma kpaagi ki bandi U Tienu maalma? bii ŋma n ba fidi ki tua o ceglika?
“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
35 ŋma kpia ki teni U Tienu bonli ki ji guu ke wan ŋmiani o?
“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”
