Bharumi 11
1 Basi nijobha, je, K'yara abhabelili bhanu bha muene? Hata kidusu. Kwa kujha nene kabhele na Mwiisraeli, ghwa lukholo lwa Abrahamu, ghwa likabila lya Benyamini.
I say then, Hath God cast off his people? Far be it I For I myself am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 K'yara abhabelilepi bhanu bha muene, bhaabhamanyili kuhoma kubhwandeli. Je mumanyilepi liandiku lijobhabhuli kuhusu Eliya, namna kyaan'sihili K'yara panani pa bha Israeli?
God hath not cast off his people, which he foreknew. Do ye not know what the Scripture saith in the passage concerning Elijah? how he pleadeth to God against Israel:
3 “Bwana, bhabhakhomili manabii bhajhobhi, ni bhene bhabomuili madhabahu gha jhobhi. Nene ne muene nisiele, ni bhene bhilonda uhai bhwa nene.”
“Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life.”
4 Lakini lijibu lya K'yara lijobhuli kwa bhebhe? “Nitunzili kwandabha jha nene bhanu elfu saba ambabho bhakampigila lepi magoti Baali.”
But what saith the answer of God to him? “I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Hata nahu, wakati obho bhwa henu kabhele bhajhele bhabhasiele kwa ndabha jha uchaguzi bhwa neema.
In the same way then at this present time also there is a remnant, according to the election of grace.
6 Lakini jhikajhiajhi kwa neema, sio kabhele kwa matendo, finginefyo neema jhibetalepi kujha kabhele neema.
And if it is by grace, it is no longer on account of works; otherwise grace ceaseth to be grace; but if it is of works, there is then no grace; otherwise work ceaseth to be work. How is it then?
7 Kiki kabhele? Lijambo ambalyo Israeli akajha akalilonda, akikabhi lepi, bali bhateule bhakikabhili, ni bhamana bhajhongesibhu uzito.
What Israel seeketh after, that Israel did not obtain; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened;
8 Ni kama kyajhilembibhu: “K'yara abhapelili roho jha ubutu, mihu ili bhasibhone, ni mb'ol'okhoto ili bhasipel'eki mpaka lelu ejhe.”
as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of slumber, eyes that were not to see, and ears that were not to hear, unto this day.”
9 Ni muene Daudi ijobha, “Silekajhi meza sya bhene sijhelayi mikwabhu, miteghu, sehemu jha kwikungufula ni kulepesya kisasi dhidi jha bhene.
And David saith, “Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them;
10 Ghalekayi mihu gha bhene ghasopibhwayi ngisi ili bhasibhwesi kulola. Ukabhajhinimisiajhi migongo ghya bhene daima.”
let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; and bow down their back alway.”
11 Basi nijobha, “Je, bhakikungufuili bila kubina?” Jhisijhi naha kamwe. Badala jhiake, kwa kusindwa kwa bhene, bhwokovu bhufikili kwa bha Mataifa, ili bhabho bhene bhajhelayi ni bhuifu.
I say then, Did they stumble in order to fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the gentiles to excite them to emulation.
12 Henu jhikajhiajhi kusindwa kwa bhene ndo utajiri bhwa ulimwengu ni kama hasara jha bhene ndo utajiri bhwa mataifa, ndo kiasi khelekhu nesu kibetakujha kukamilika kwa bhene?
But if their offence is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more will their fullness be?
13 Ni henu nilongela namu bhanu bha Mataifa. Kwa kujha na mtume kwa bhanu bha Mataifa ghangi, ni kwifunila huduma jha jhoni.
For I am speaking to you gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles, I magnify my office,
14 Labda nibetakubhapela bhwifu bhabhajhele mb'el'e umonga ni nene. Labda twibeta kubhaokola baadhi jha bhene.
that I may, if possible, excite to emulation those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 Ndabha jhikajhelayi kubelekeli bhwa kwa bhene ndo maridhiano gha dunia, kupokelibhwa kwa bhene kubetakujha bhuli ili bhuomi kuhoma kwa bhafu?
For if the rejection of them is the reconciliation of the world, what will the reception of them be, but life from the dead?
16 Kama matunda gha kubhwandu ndo akiba, ndo kyajhijhele ku lidonge lya sembe. Kama mzizi ndo akiba, matawi ni ghene.
And if the first portion of the dough is holy, so also will be the lump; and if the root is holy, so will be the branches.
17 Lakini kama baadhi jha matafi ghadumulibhu, kama bhebhe litafi lya mudasi lya misyongoti, bhwapandibhu pagati pa bhene, ni kama ghwashiriki pamonga ni bhene mu mizizi ghya utajiri bhwa misyongoti,
And if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou, a wild olive, hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker with them of the root and fatness of the olive-tree,
18 usikitufyi panani pa matafi. Lakini kama ukisifila, bhebhelepi jhaukajhitangatila mizizi bali mizizi ghikutangatila bhebhe.
boast not over the branches; for if thou boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee.
19 Basi wibetakujobha, “Matafi ghadumulibhu ili nikabhayi kupandikisibhwa mu lishina.”
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Ejhu ndo kweli. Kwa ndabha jha kutokukiera kwa bhene bhadumulibhu, lakini bhebhe ghwajhemili imara kwandabha jha imani jha jhobhi. Usikifikiriri ghwe muene kwa hali jha panani nesu, bali tilayi.
Be it so. It was for their unbelief that they were broken off, and thou standest through thy faith; be not high-minded, but fear.
21 Kwa ndabha akajhiajhi k'yara aghalekilepi mataifa gha asili, ibetalepi kuhurumila bhebhe kabhele.
For if God spared the natural branches, take care lest he spare not thee.
22 Langayi, basi, matendo manofu ni bhukali bhwa K'yara. Kwa lubhafu lumonga, ukalibhwahidili panani pa Bhayahudi ambabho bhabinili. Lakini kwa lubhafu longi bhwema bhwa K'yara bhwihida panani pa jhobhi kam wibeta kudumu mu wema bhwa muene. La sivyo ni bhebhe wibetakudumulibhwa patali.
Behold then the goodness and the severity of God; toward those who fell, severity; but toward thee God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness; otherwise thou also wilt be cut off.
23 Ni kabhele, kama bhibetalepi kujhendelela, mu kutokukiera kwa bhene bhibetakubandibhwa kabhele.
And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Ndabha K'yara ajhe ni bhuwezo bhwa kupandikisya kabhele. Kwa ndabha jhikajhiajhi muenga mwadumulibhu kwibhala kwa bhujhele bhwa asili jha n'spngoti bhwa mudasi, ni kinyume kya asili mwapandikisibhu mu n'syongoti bhwabhujhele bhunofu, nesu lepi abha Bhayahudi, ambabho ndo kama matafi gha asili kubhwesya kupandikisibhwa kabhele mugati mu mizeituni bhabhu bhene?
For if thou hast been cut off from an olive-tree wild by nature, and hast against thy nature been ingrafted into a good olive-tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be ingrafted into their own olive-stock?
25 Kwa ndabha bhalongo nilonda lepi musimanyi, kuhusiana ni siri ejhe, ili kwamba musijhi ni hekima mu kufikiri kwa jhomu mwebhene. Siri ejhe ndo kwamba bhunonono bhuhomili Israeli, hadi kukamilika kwa mataifa pawibetakuhida.
For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness hath to some extent come upon Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles shall have come in.
26 Efyo Israeli bhoha bhibetakuokolibhwa, kama kyajhilembibhu: “Kuhoma Sayuni ibetakuhida Mkombokozi. Ibetakuubhosya bhuovu kuhoma kwa Yakobo.
And thus will all Israel be saved; as it is written, “There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 Ni e'le libetakujha liagano lya nene pamonga ni bhene, panibetakusibhosya dhambi sya bhene.”
And this will be my covenant with them, when I shall have taken away their sins.”
28 Ku lubhafu lumonga kuhusu injili, bhidadibhwa kwa ndabha jha muenga. Kwa lubhafu l'ongi kutokana ni bhusalanu bhwa K'yara, bhaganikibhu kwandabha jha bhakhokho.
In regard to the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but in regard to God's choice, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
29 Kwa kujha zawadi ni bhwitobhwa K'yara bhwibadilika lepi.
For in respect to his gifts and his calling, there is no change of purpose with God.
30 Kwa ndabha kubhwandelu muenga mwan'kosili K'yara, henu mujhipokili rehema kwandabha jha kuasi kwa muenga.
For as ye in times past were disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,
31 Kwa njela jhejhuejhu, henu abha Bhayahudi bhan'kosili. Matokeo ghake ndo kujha kuhomela ni k'esa jha mupelibhu muenga bhibhuesya kabhele kupokela rehema.
so they too have now become disobedient, that they also may obtain mercy through the mercy shown to you.
32 Ndabha K'yara abhadendili bhanu bhoha mu kuasi, ili abhwesiajhi kubhahurumila bhoha. (eleēsē g1653)
For God delivered up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Namna kyasijhele sibhaha bhutajiri ni hekima ni maaria gha K'yara! Sichunguzika lepi hukumu sya muene, ni njela sya muene sigundulika lepi!
O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom, and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his purposes, and his ways past finding out!
34 “Ndabha niani jhaajhimanyili nia jha Bwana? Au niani mshauri ghwa muene?
For “who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been made his counselor?”
35 Au niani hoti jha ampelili khenu K'yara, ili alepibhwayi kabhele?”
or “who first gave to him, and shall receive a return?”
