Warumi 11
1 Pu leino niita, pu, uNguluve avabeilile avanu vamwene? Ndeili na padebe. Ulwakhuva une nayune neili Mwisraeli, eikhivumbukhu khya Abrahamu, vakhikolo eikhya Benyamini.
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 UNguluve savabele avanu vamwene, uvuavamanyile ukhuhuma khuvulenguleilo. Pu samlumanyile uvuveige wiita khiikhi ukhukongana nu Eliya, umuasimeleihinche khwa uNguluve savuli ya Vaisraeli?
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 “Ntwa vavabudile avasuhwa vakho, navene vanchinanginie inekhelo nchakho, une nei mwene nene niesiigile, navene vilonda uwumi wango.”
“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 Pu uwamule wa Nguluve wiita khiikhi khyulyuve? “Neileiveikhile savuli yango avaalufu saba yango avusavikhufugameela amafugamilo uBaali.”
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 Paninie neiyo, usiekhe ugu leino pu khuvaale uvuvasigile savu ya vuhale wa luhungu.
In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
6 Pui leino yiengave savuli ya luhungu, pusayiva mumivombele. pu apo uluhungu pusalwiva luhungu.
And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
7 Khyu khinu khikhi leino? eikhyu uIsrael alikhulonda, sakhivone, pu avahaliwa vakhiwene, na vaange vakhasya.
What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,
8 Nduvuyeisimbiwe: “Unguluve avapile einumbula eiyavubungefu, amiho ukhula valekhe ukhulola, ni mbulukhutu ukhuta valekhe ukhupuleikha, pupakha eilelo eiye.”
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 Vape uDaudi iita, “Nchilekhe imesa nchavo nchive nyaafu, neimitego gwa khwipeinja, nukhwitavuleila khuvene.
And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
10 Galekhe amiho gavo gave niehisi pu valekhe ukhulola. Ukhavinamye emisana gyavo khitaduga.”
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
11 Leino niita, “Puvei, kuvinche nu khugwa?” Yelekhe ukhuva ewo lusikhu. Puleino ukhulemwa khwa veene, uvupokhi vufikhe khuvapanji, ukhuta avene vavo vavone wifu.
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 Leino einave ukhulemwa khwavo vukaviwa khilunga, nu puyiengave uvufuve waavo vukavi wavapanji, pukhigelelo khiekhi eikhilutelile puyeve khunkwila nila khwavo?
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 Na leino leino ninchova numwe mwie vunu va panji, neivile isuhwa khuvanu avajilunga ifinge, nikhigineihincha eimbombo ya vutangeli wango.
I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
14 Pamo yanikhuvapela uwifu avaleimbeili gumo nune, pano ya tukhuvapokha vaninie.
in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.
15 Pu eingave ukhubeliwa khwavo lweideha no lwa khilunga, ukhyupeileiliwa khwavo ya khwiva ndakhikhi pu uwumi uwakhuhuma khuvunchukha?
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16 Einave isekhe itanchi khibana vuyileiwo khu nongeya vutine. Einave undela khibana pu amasasi nagope wuwuwa.
If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 Pu einave amasasi maninie gageidewe, uve, lisasi lya msitu lya Mzeituni, ugugwavyaliwe muvene nu pungave waleepyo paninie navene eimilela gya vukani wa Mizeituni.
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 Ulekhe ukhwiginia mumasasi, pu unave vukhiginia saveve yuve vukhugitanga emilela, pu emilela gikhukhutanga uve.
do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 Puleino ayawita, “Amaswato gagidiewe ukhuta neivuliwe mukhikolo.
You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
20 Eiyo lweli, savuli ya khusita ukhwideekha khwavo vagedeiwe, pu uve wa eimile ulukangafu savuli ya lweideikho lwakho. Ulekhe ukwisageila yuve pakyanya fincho pu dwaadage.
That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
21 Pu ulwakhuva eingave uNguluve sagalekhe lenche amaswato amatengule, sakha khuhigile uve na yuve.
For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either.
22 Lola, leino, imbombo inonu nu vukali wa Nguluve. Khuluvafu lumo, uvukali wa inchile khuva yuta vala avagwile. Pu khuluvafu ulunge, uluhungu lwa Nguluve lukhwincha palyuve ungave yawinchiga muvunonu wa mwene. Einave ate uve nayuveayavubeiliwa.
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 Na eingave savakhendelelage mukhusitakhwideekha kwavo, yavi valiwa khange. Ulwa khuva uNguluve alei na makha agakhuvyaleila khange.
And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Pu ulwakhuva umwe mungave mwageidewe khunji khugugwa gwa mbutengulielo Mzeituni gwa msitu, puleino eikyavulenguleilo khileivunge Mzeituni unonu pu sayiva fiva ukhulutilila fincho ava yuta?
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 Ulwa khuva valokolo saninogwa msite ughulumanya ukhukongana ukhu kongana nei siri eiye, ukhuta mulekhe ukhuva nu luhala mumisagiele gyienyo yumwe. Ei siri eiye khukhuta uvukafu vuhumile mu Israeli, imakha ukhunchikwilanila khwa filunga yakhiva khwinchile.
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 Puleino ava Israeli vooni yavipokhiwa, ndu unyeisimbiwe: “Ukhuhuma khu Sayuni ikhwincha upokhi, pu ayihencha uvuvivi ukhuhuma khwa Yakobo.
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.
27 Na eili puyaliva ndagano pu paninie na veene useikhi uguyakhiva nihencha imbivi nchaavo.”
And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
28 Khuluvafu lumo ukhu kongana neilivangeili, vivipeiliwa savuli yienyo. Khuluvafu ulunge ukhukonga na vuhale wa Nguluve, vavyaliwe savuli ya vankukhu yavo.
Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.
29 Ulwa khuv uluhombo ni nyeilango yu Nguluve sayigevukha.
For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.
30 Ulwakhuva pakhwanda umwe mwale vagolo va Nguluve, puleino mulyupeilile uluhungu lwa Nguluve savuli ya khugalukha kwavo.
Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,
31 Khunjila yeiyeiyo, leino ava yuta ava vagalwikhe, pu eilyu leivonikhe khukhuta savuli ya khisa ikyu muhungukhiwe umwe mvahile ukhwambeilila uluhungu.
so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
32 Ulwakhuva uNguluve avadeindile avanu vooni muvugalukhi, ukhuta pwava vonele eikhisa vooni. (eleēsē g1653)
For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Umunchi velile mbaha uvukavi nu luhungu nu vumanyi wa Nguluve! Savunchingakhimchi wa uvuheigi wa mwene, ni njeila ncha mwene sanchi manyikhikha!
O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
34 “Pu veini uvyakhavu manyile uvufumbwe wantwa? puveini va masago khumwene?
“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
35 Pu veini taasi agelieli ukhupa eikhinu uNguluve pu ahombiwe khange?”
“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”
