Bharumi 11
1 Mbe enaika, Angu Nyamuanga abhalemele abhanu bhae? Na katyali uli. Kwo kubha anye one nili Mwisilaeli, wo lwibhulo Lwa Ibhulaimu, wo luganda lwa Benyamini.
So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Nyamuanga hatabhalemele abhanu bhae, abho amenyele okwambila kubhwambilo. Angu mutakumenya elyandiko elyaika chinuki okulubhana na Eliya, lwa kutyo amukomelesishe Nyamuanga ingulu ya Israel?
God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,
3 “Latabhugenyi, bhabheta abhalagi bhao, nawe bhona bhafumya ebhigabhwilo bhyao. Anye omwene -ela nanye nasanga, nabho abhayeja obhuwanga bhwani.”
Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.
4 Mbe nawe lisubhyo lya Nyamuanga elyaikaki kwawe? “Nibhikile ingulu yani abhanu bhiubhi musanju bhanu bhatakumubhumila bhiju Bhaali.”
But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.
5 Nolwo kutyo, omwanya gunu ogwa woli one bhalio bhanu bhasagile kunsonga yo kusola mu chigongo.
In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.
6 Mbe nawe jikabha mu chigongo, atali lindi mu bhikolwa. kubhindi echigongo chitakubha lindi chigongo.
But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.
7 Mbe nichinuki woli? Echinu chinu Israeli aliga naiiga, atachibhwene, nawe abhasolwa bhachibhwene, na abhandi bhayanilwe bhusito.
What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.
8 Ni lwa kutyo jandikilwe: “Nyamuanga abhayae mwoyo gwo bhugunie, ameso koleleki bhasige okulola, na Matwi koleleki bhasige okungwa, kukinga lelo linu.”
As it was said in the holy Writings, God gave them a spirit of sleep, eyes which might not see, and ears which have no hearing, to this day.
9 No mwene Daudi kaika, “Musige jimeja jebhwe na jibhe waya, mitego, kwibhala lwo kwikujula, no kusubhya olusima ingulu yebhwe.
And David says, Let their table be made a net for taking them, and a stone in their way, and a punishment:
10 Siga ameso gebhwe gatelweko echisunte koleleki bhasigo olola. Nubhenamye emigongo jebhwe Kata.”
Let their eyes be made dark so that they may not see, and let their back be bent down at all times.
11 Mbe woli enaika, “Angu, bhekujuye kukingila okugwa?” Jasiga kubha kutyo kajanende. Amwi nejo, kwo kuigwa kwebhwe, omwelulo gwabhakingiye abhanyamaanga, koleleki abhene bhejule lifuwa.
So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy.
12 Mbe woli kukabha kuli kuigwa kwebhwe ni bhunibhi bhwe Chalo, na alabha okufwilwamo kwebhwe kwa kutyo-ela ni bhunibhi bhwa Maanga, ni bhwafuki kukila kukumila kwebhwe?
Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?
13 Mbe woli enaika nemwe abhanu bha Maanga. Kulwo kubha nabhee Intumwa ku bhanu bha Maanga agandi, enikuisha mukufulubhenda kwani.
But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:
14 Amwi enichula nimbajisha lifuwa bhanu bhali mubhili gumwi nanye. Amwi echibhakisha abhandi bhebhwe.
If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.
15 Kulwo kubha alabha okulemwa kwebhwe ni mekilishanyo ge Chalo, okulamilwa kwebhwe okubha atiki nakabhee obhuanga okusoka mu bhafuye?
For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?
16 Alabha amatwasho go Kwamba ni bhikilo, nikwo kutyo bhili kwo bhafu bhwa jisyanu. Alabha emisi ni libhikilo, amatabhi one nikwo kutiyo.
And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 Mbe nawe alabha agandi amatabhi gakatemwa, kuti awe, nawe litabhi lye mwila elyo musheka, linu lwayambilwe agati yebhwe, na nilisangila amwi nabho mu misi jo bhunibhi bhwo musheka,
But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,
18 wasiga kwikuya ingulu ya matabhi. Nawe alabha owikuya, atali awe unu ousakila emisi, nawe emisi ejikusakila awe.
Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.
19 Mbe nawe owaika, “amatabhi gatemelwe koleleki niyambwe kwi Sina.
You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.
20 Ejo ni ja chimali. Kunsonga yo kulema okwikilisha kwebhwe bhatemelwe, mbe nawe awe wemeleguyu ulumile koto kunsonga ye likilisha lyao. Wasiga okwiganilisha muno omwene -ela, nawe ubhaye.
Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;
21 Kulwo kubha akabha Nyamuanga atagasigile amatabhi go bhusimuka, atakusasila awe one.
For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.
22 Mbe, nulole, ebhikolwa bhye kisi no bhululu bhwa Nyamuanga. kwi bhala limwi, obhululu bhunu bhwejile ingulu ya Bhayaudi bhanu bhaguye. Nawe kulubhala lundi, obhwekisi bhwa Nyamuanga bhwejile ingulu yao, nawe ukekomesha mu bhwekisi bhwae. Ukatasikana neJo awe one ulilemelelwa Kula.
See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.
23 Alabha bhene one bhakalema okugendelela mu bhunyantekilisha bhwebhwe, abhayambwa lindi. Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga ali no bhutulo bhwo kubhayamba lindi.
And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.
24 Kulwo kubha alabha emwe mwatemelwe anja ya bhinu bhuli bhusimuka bhwo musheka gwe mwila no bhutasikene bhwo bhusimuka mwayambilwe ku musheka gunu guli gwe kisi, atali kwiya kafu muno abhayaudi bhanu, bhali lwa matabhi go bhusimuka bhanu abhatula okuyambwa lindi mu masheka gebhwe abhene?
For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?
25 Kulwo kubha bhaili nitakwenda musige okumenya, okulubhana na imbisike inu ati mwasiga okubha no bhumenyi mu okwiganilisha kwemwe abhene. Imbisike inu ni ati obhukomee bhusokele mu Israeli, kukinga mu kukumila kwa Maanga galijila.
For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;
26 Kwibhyo Israeli bhone abhwelulwa, kutyo jandikilwe.”Okusoka Sayuni Kaja omwelusi Kabhumenya obhujabhi okusoka ku yakobo.
And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:
27 Na linu elibha elagano lyani amwi nabho, omwanya ogwo nakabhisosheo ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.”
And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.
28 Ku lubhala oumwi okulubhana no misango no bhwana, abhabhabhiililwa ku Songa yemwe. Kwo lubhala lundi okulubhana no bhwausi bhwa Nyamuanga, abhene ku Songa ya bhajanji.
As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.
29 Kwo kubha ebhiyanwa no kubhilikilwa kwa Nyamuanga bhutakuyinduka.
Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.
30 Kwo kubha kubhwambilo emwe mwaliga muli bhanyamusi bha Nyamuanga, nawe oli mwachilamila echigongo ku Songa yokunyamula kwebhwe.
For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,
31 Kwa injila eye yo, Oli Abhayaundi bhanu bhanyamuye. Nawe okumala kwendao ni bha ati okulubhana no kubhasasila bhanu muli na mabhando emwe abhatula one okulamila echigongo.
So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.
32 Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga abhabhoyele abhanu bhone mu bhunyamusi koleleki atule okubhasasila bhone. (eleēsē g1653)
For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Lwa kutyo bhili bhikulu kubhunibhi no bhumenyi no bhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga! jitakumenyelwa jindamu jae, na jinjila jae jitakumenyekana!
O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.
34 “Kwibhyo niga unu kaimenya injila ya Latabhugenyi? Amwi niga unu aliga ali mulwaji wae?
Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?
35 Amwi niga unu atangatile okumuyana echinu Nyamuanga, koleleki aliywe lindi?
Or who has first given to him, and it will be given back to him again?
