Warumi 9
1 Kuligitya itai mung'wa Kilisto, singa kuligitya uteele, imasigo ane akoli palung'wi nu ng'waung'welu.
I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:
2 Kina ukoli ukia ukulu nuuwai nukilinkie munkolo ane.
That I have great sadness, and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 Ainihumile kulompa mpegwe isatiko nukuikwa kuli nu Kilisto kunsoko aluna ane, nialuna ane niakimuili.
For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh,
4 Nianso Aisraeli. Niatulikile kutula ana, au kulu amalagiilyo, ni songeelyo la miko, kumukulya Itunda ni lagiilyo.
Who are Israelites, to whom belongeth the adoption as of children, and the glory, and the testament, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises:
5 Nianso atongeeli nu Kilisto uzile kua ikulyo kuutugala umuili uwu. Nuanso Tunda wa maintu ihi. Hangi akuligwe mahiku ihi. Amina. (aiōn g165)
Whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Ingi singa kina imalagiilyo ang'wi Tunda alemilwe kupika. Nsoko singi antu ihi niaakoli kihiaku Israeli, iza muisraeli lukulu.
Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel:
7 Nukung'wa Abrahamu singa ai wileli wakwe lukulu. Kululo kukiila wileli wang'wa Isaka ukitang'wa.
Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
8 Iyi ingi, iana amuili ingi singa ana ang'wi Tunda. Kululo iana nii lago agizilwe anga ana awileli.
That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh, are the children of God; buy they, that are the children of the promise, are accounted for the seed.
9 Kunsoko ingi ulu lukani lilago, “Kumatungo aya nzile, hangi u Sara ukupegwa ung'wana.”
For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come; and Sara shall have a son.
10 Ingi singa lili du, nu Rebeka naiwapantika inda kumuntu ung'wi, Isaka tata witu.
And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father.
11 Kina iana aiakili kulelwa, hangi akili kituma lukani lihi nulu za ang'wi nulubi, ingi isigo lang'wi Tunda lihume kutula nu hola ni limike. Hangi singa kua ntendo, ingi kunsoko ang'wa uyo nuitangile,
For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand, )
12 ailigitigwe kitalakwe, “Umukulu ukumitumila numunino.”
Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.
13 Anga naiyakondigwa kandikwa: “Nimsigile u Yakobo, une u Esau shanumuloilwe.”
As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.
14 Kulunge uli gwa? Ukoli wioneli ne kung'wi Tunda? Kutile.
What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.
15 Kunsoko ukulunga kung'wa Musa, zeee nkete kinyauwai kung'wa uyo ninzize nkite ukinyauwai, hangi nzenzo nkete ukende kung'wa uyo ninzempa ukende.
For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy.
16 Ingi gwa singa anga kunsoko ang'wa uyo nulakile, hangi singa kunsoko ang'wa uyo nuimanka, ingi kunsoko ang'wi Tunda uyu nuilagiila nakanda.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17 Kunsoko imaandiko alungile kung'wa Farao, kina ainukimikilye kunsoko iyi nihume kulagiila ingulu yane kitalako, Ilina lane litanantigwe ihe ihi.
For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Ang'wi uu uyu nuilowa kupegwa nakanda wipegwa nakanda ikinyauwai nuyu nuilowa kupegwa, wimupeza yaya nakutula wilugoha.
Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.
19 Sunga ukulunga kitalane, kuniki nkili neenda ona igazo? Nyenye naulemig'we nimasigo akwe?
Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will?
20 Ue ng'wamuntu ue wi nyenyu nukumusukiilya Itunda? Kintu naikiumbilwe kimuile ne uyu naukiumbile ite unene?
O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Ang'wi umuumbi mugila ingulu nia kuhola uulolo nukeehu nukuumba kiseme king'wi kitule kikulyo nikiuya kitule kigila ikulyo.
Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 Ntuni gwa naituile Itunda akahia kuteta utaki wakwe, nulagiila uhumi wakwe, akatula nugimya wilu akagumanilya ayo ihi naahumile kitung'wa kua ubi?
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,
23 Ingi anga niwitumile iti kina alagiile udu nua ukulu wakwe kuiseme niahumile kulekelwa, izo naiwakondilye kuinonelya kunsoko ukulu?
That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory?
24 Ingi sese naikitangile, singa iantu aku Ayahudi du, nao nishamumanyile Itunda ne?
Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.
25 Anga nauliyo kung'wa Hosea: “Kuitanga iantu ane awa naisinga antu ane, nu mulowa wakwe uyu nishaiwimlowa.
As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy, one that hath obtained mercy.
26 Hangi ikutula apo nauliiye kitalao, unye sha miantu ane, pang'wanso akitangwa ana ang'wi Tunda numupanga.”
And it shall be, in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.
27 U Isaya nung'wenso wenda pumya uhuli kua Israeli akazelunga, ialo la ana ang'wa Israeli ata lizelidu anga imahalu na muluzi, wawa naiasagie du azegunika.
And Isaias crieth out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
28 Kunsoko utata ukuluhola ulukani lakwe nula mihi, hangi ukukaya kulukondya.
For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.
29 Anga u Isaya nauliiye ung'wandyo, anga Itunda wa uhumi nishaukulekee uwileli kunsoko itu, aikuzetula anga Isodoma, hangi aikuzitung'wa anga i Gomora.
And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like unto Gomorrha.
30 Kulunge uli gwa, iantu ao nishaiduma itai, aka lija itai, tai kua uhuili.
What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
31 U Israeli palung'wi nukumilyata imikononi tai, shaiamisigile nukukela imiko nanso.
But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
32 Kuniki ikatula iti? Kunsoko shanga ai akumipenza kwa uhuili, ingi nantendo akakumpa migwe nala ukumpi.
Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
33 Anga naiyakondigwe kandikwa, “Goza, nalilalya igwe la kukumpa mu Sayuni nu migwe nila kuulya. Uyu nukuhuila kua ili shuzizila iminyala.”
As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
