Warumi 11
1 Kukolya, Itunda auahitile ne iantu akwe? Ingi singa auahitile, ingi nunene ni Mwisraeli nua ukoo wang'wa Abrahamu, nui kabila lang'wa Benyamini.
I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Itunda singa auahitile iantu akwe, aualingile kupuma ung'wandyo, iti shamulingile iandiko nuliliiye kung'wa Elia, naumulompile Tunda kuantu akua Israeli.
God hath not cast away his people, which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias; how he calleth on God against Israel?
3 Utata waabulaga ianyakidagu ako, neenso akumulanga imakumbikilo ako. Nasaga ning'wene hangi akupenza upanga wane.
Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 Isukiilo lang'wi Tunda likulunga ntuni kitalako? “Naika kunsoko ako antu magana nzogu mupungati awa nishaumukulya Itunda wa unkumbigulu” (Baali).
But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.
5 Kululo nimatungo nitungili akoli niasagiile kunsoko au holanigwa nua ukende.
Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.
6 Kululo agaitule kuaukende, singa hangi kua ntendo, ang'wi ukendo singa utulo hangi ukende.
And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
7 Ntuni gwa? ulukani nu Israeli aukuluduma, singa akalupantika, ingi iaholanigwa kakipantika, niang'wi ikapegwa kiti aleke kuona.
What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it; and the rest have been blinded.
8 Anga niyandikilwe: “Itunda uapee nkolo au tu, imiho aleke kuona, nia kutye aleke kija sunga ni leliye.”
As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.
9 U Daudi nung'wenso ukulunga, “Leka imeza yao itule nyavu, mntego, nuakukumpa kunsoko awilei wao.
And David saith: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them.
10 Leka imiho ao apegwe ikiti aleki kuhuma kuona. Ulongole wendua tunye imigongo ao mahiku ihi.”
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.
11 Ingi gwa kulunga, akumpaa nee sunga agwiiza ileka kutula iti itunu. Ingi gwa kua kuleng'wa kitalao, uuguniki wapika kuantu nishaahuie, ingi nienso ahume kupegwa uwilu nuansula.
I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.
12 Ang'wi kuleng'wa kitalao nsoko augole waunkumbigulu, hangi ang'wi kuulya kitalao kunsoko augoli wa anyakilungu ukondaniili kitalao ukutula ugeile uli?
Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?
13 Itungile kuligitya nunye nimiantu amihe. Kunsoko naina nimitumi wa mahi mangiza, nainikuilya uitumi wane.
For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,
14 Ang'wi kuapa nsula ao niamuili ung'wi nunene. Ang'wi niang'wi kua guna.
If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 Ang'wi kuhitwa kitalako wigombi wa mihi kusingiiligwa kitalao ikutula ule upanga kupuma kuashi.
For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 Ang'wi indya yang'wandyo iza kiuto nikiza, uu nili nila utu. Ang'wi umuli iza kiuto imataambi nimenso uu.
For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 Ang'wi imataambi ang'wi aatemilwe anga uewe itaambi nila muzeituni nuamihaka, nautemewe pakati ao, angwe aiwihanguie palung'wi nimihi augoli wa mizeituni,
And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,
18 leka kilumbiilya kunsoko amataambi, ang'wi ukilumbiilya, singa wewe wimiailya imili, imili ikuailya wewe.
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Kululo ukulunga imatambi aatemilwe kunsoko nihume kutemelwa.
Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Tai ingi: Kunsoko akuhita kuhuila aiatemilwe, kululo uewe aiwimikile kunsoko auhuili wako, uleke kutula kihumbula migulya inonee kogopa.
Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.
21 Kunso Itunda singa aumalekile imatambi na ng'wandyo, nuewe singa ukuhumila ikinya uwai.
For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
22 Goza gwa intendo ninza niang'wi Tunda nizi nintaki, uulaki auzile ku Ayahudi kunsoko naiagwie, kululo kuangiza, uuza wang'wi Tunda wiza kitalako ang'wi ukikie kuuza wakwe. Angaitule shanga uu nuewe ukuhitwa.
See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 Ang'wi singa akulongoleka kuhita kuhuila kitalao, akulemelwa hangi, kunsoko Itunda ukete uhumi nuakuatemela hangi.
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Kunsoko ang'wi anye amutemilwe kunzi kunsoko ang'wi ung'wandyo aimia muzeituni wamihala ni hangi ang'wi anutemewe ung'wandyo wa muzeituni nuza, ang'wi aikukila i Ayahudi, naatuile anga mataambi ang'wandyo kuhuma kutemelwa hangi mukati amizeituni ao?
For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 Aluna ane singantakile mulinge unkunku uwu, hangi muleke kutula nimahala nakusiga kitalanyu. Unkunku uwu upumie ukaku ku Israeli sunga kuukondaniili nua unkumbigulu nuuzile.
For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.
26 Kululo Israeli ihi akugunika anga naiyandikilwe: “Kupuma Sayuni uzile Muguni ukuuheja uubi kupuma kung'wa Yakono.
And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 Nili likutula ilago lane palung'wi nienso. Matungo ninzaheja imilandu ao.”
And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.
28 Kua lukumo nula lukani, atula alugu kunsoko anyu kululo kunsoko alukumo nulakung'wanso kimikigwa atula alowa kunsoko a Tata anyu.
As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.
29 Kunsoko ikipegwa nu witang'wi wang'wi Tunda shawi kailika.
For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
30 Kunsoko ung'wandya aimamulekile Tunda kululo itungila mausingiilya ulekelwa wanakanda, kunsoko akumuleka Itunda kitalao.
For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;
31 Kunzila yiyo yiyo i Ayahudi amulekile Itunda, kunsoko aimusingiiye ulekelwa nienso akusingiilya uulekelwa.
So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Anga niza ukulu uugole wakwe nimahala nu hugu wang'wi Tunda, shawilingika nu lamulwa wakwe ni nzila yakwe shayipenzeka.
O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
34 Nyenyu naumilengile insula ang'wa Tata? Ang'wi nyenyu naiwimusija?
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Ang'wi nyanyu naumupee ikintu ung'wandya nung'wenso ukulipwa hangi?
Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
