Maroma 11
1 Ni wamba linu, kana Ireeza aba kani bantu bakwe? Kanji ibi bulyo. Kakuti name bulyo ni mu Isilaele, ni mwihwa wa Abrahama, wo kulusika lwa Benjamini.
I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.
2 Ireeza kena aba kani bantu bankwe, abo baba kwizi. Kamwinzi icho mañolo achi wamba kuyamana ni Eliya, umo mwaba kumbilili ni Ireeza kuamana ni Isilaele?
God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Know ye not what the Scripture sayth of Elias, howe hee communeth with God against Israel, saying,
3 “Simwine, babehayi batanikizi bako, baba chololi tutala twako. Njime nenke yo shele, mi bakwete kugana buhalo bwangu.”
Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seeke my life?
4 Kono ikalabo ya Ireeza iba wambanzi kwali? “Ni libikile 7000 bakwame baseni kufukamina Baale.”
But what saith the answere of God to him? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal.
5 Nihakwina bulyo cwale, heyinu i nako nayo kusina bamwi bashele che baka lyo buiketelo bwa chishemo.
Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 Kono haiba kuti che chishemo, kaisili ke mitendo. Kusi bulyo chishemo ni chi sena chibabi chishemo.
And if it be of grace, it is no more of workes: or els were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: or els were worke no more worke.
7 Chinzi linu? Chintu chi baba kugana ma Isilaele, kahena baba chiwani, kono baketetwe baba chiwani, mi bungi buba zuminizi inkulo:
What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obteined it, and the rest haue bene hardened,
8 Kwina bobulyo sina mukuñolelwe: “Ireeza ababahi lihuho lwa kubula inzimbo, menso ili kuti kanji baboni, ni matwi ili kuti kanji bazuwi, kuleta linu izuba.”
According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.
9 Linu Dafita ucho, “Musiye itafule yabo isanduke ka nyandi ni kaswa, chisitataliso ni bubengiso kuba lwisa.
And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them.
10 Musiye menso abo a sihiswe ili kuti kanji ba boni. mi ba ongomane misana inako yonse.”
Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bowe downe their backe alwayes.
11 Ni wamba cwale, “Kana baba chunchuli kuti mane bawe?” Kanji kubi bulyo. Nihakuba bulyo, cha kukangwa kwabo bene, kuhazwa ku bezi kube chisi, ili kuti ba bengiswe cha muuna.
I demaund then, Haue they stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid: but through their fall, saluation commeth vnto the Gentiles, to prouoke them to follow them.
12 Linu haiba kuti kukangwa kwabo njo bufumu bwe yinu inkanda, mi haiba kuti kusinyehelwa kwabo njo bufumu bu ba Chisi, kumana kwabo muku kanduhe bule?
Wherefore if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their aboundance be?
13 Kono hanu ni wamba kwenu be Chisi. Kubona fela kuti ni muapositola kube Chinsi, Ni hinda buikumuso mumutendo wangu.
For in that I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of ye Gentiles, I magnifie mine office,
14 Mwendi muni minyenze cho muna abo bakwangu che nyama. Mwendi mane mutu haze bamwi kubali.
To trie if by any meanes I might prouoke them of my flesh to follow them, and might saue some of them.
15 Kakuti haiba kukaniwa kwabo joku bozekeza inkanda, ikamuhelo yabo kaibe bule kono buhalo kuzwa kwa bana fwile?
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead?
16 Haiba zilyatu ze intanzi zibikitwe, kwina bulyo ni kubusu bwa chinkwa, Haiba mihisi i babalelwe, mukube bulyo niku mitai.
For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches.
17 Kono haiba kuti imwi mitai iba choki kwateni, haiba inwe, mutai we samu lye Olive lya muzuka, uba nungwa mwenu, mi haiba muba liyabili nabo mubufumu bwa mihisi ye chikuni che olivi,
And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree.
18 Kanji muli tundumuni hewulu ye mitai. Kono haiba nimuli tundumuna, kanjenwe mutusa mihisi, kono mihisi itusa inwe.
Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.
19 Kamuwambe linu, “Mitai iba konsolwa ili kuti ni nungwe kwateni.”
Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in.
20 Iyo nje niti. Chebaka lyo kusa zumina kwabo baba cholwa kwateni, kono inwe muzimene cho kukola chebaka lye tumelo yenu. Kanji muli hupuli cho kuli hanzika, kono cho kutiya.
Well: through vnbeliefe they are broken off, and thou standest by faith: bee not hie minded, but feare.
21 Kakuti haiba Ireeza kena aba bukelezi mitai inswanela, nangati inwe kakwina mwasa bukeleze.
For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee.
22 Mulole hateni, linu, mihato ya chishemo ni bukando bwa Ireeza. Kulimwi iyanza, bukando bubezi ha Manjunda ba bawi. Kono kulimwi inyanza, chishemo cha Ireeza chiza henu, haiba ni muzwila habusu ni mukuluka kwakwe. Kusi bulyo nanwe kamu kosolwe kwateni.
Beholde therefore the bountifulnesse, and seueritie of God: towarde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but toward thee, bountifulnesse, if thou continue in his bountifulnesse: or els thou shalt also be cut off.
23 Mi mane nabo, haiba kuti nibasa zwili habusu ni kusa zumina kwabo, kaba nungwe mwateni.
And they also, if they abide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.
24 Kakuti Ireeza usi wola kuba nunga mwateni hape. Mukuti haiba muba kosolwa bulyo kwi samu lye olive lya muzuka, mi cha kusaba ni ka mukulukelwa bulyo baba nungwa kwi samu ilotu lye olive, muchi samu chilotu che olive, kakube bule kwa ba Majunda ili abo mitai tato, mwete ba nungwe hape mwi simu lyabo lye olive?
For if thou wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree?
25 Mukuti kanisaki kuti mwi kale ni musezi, bamwangu, kweyi inkunutu, ili kuti kanji mubi batalifite mukuzeza yenu. Iyi inkunutu yakuti imbali imwi yaku kuku tuhalisa iba tendahali mwa Isilaele, kusikila kwizuzilizwa ku be Chisi chikweza mukati.
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in.
26 Kobulyo Isilaele yonse mui i hazwe, sina mukuñolelwe: “Kuzwilila mwa Zioni kakube ni Mulukululi. Mwa zwise kusaba ni bumulimu kwa Jakobo.
And so all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob.
27 Mi ichi kachibe chilikani changu na bo, china zwisa zibi zabo.”
And this is my couenant to them, When I shall take away their sinnes.
28 Kulimwi iyanza kuamana ni evangeli, abo zila kwi neku lyenu. Kulimwi inyanza chokuya cho buiketelo bwe Ireeza, basakiwa chebaka lya ba zimu babo.
As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes.
29 Kakuti impo ni kusupiwa kwa Ireeza kaku chichiwa.
For the giftes and calling of God are without repentance.
30 Sina kumatangilo hamusana muba kuku teka Ireeza, kono hanu chimuba tambuli chishemo chebaka lyo kusazuwa kwabo.
For euen as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue nowe obteined mercie through their vnbeliefe:
31 Mwi nzila iswana, hanu aba Majunda kana babali kusi zuwa. Mupuzo wakuti kacheshemo chitondezi kwenu nabo hanu kuti niba tambula chishemo.
Euen so nowe haue they not beleeued by the mercie shewed vnto you, that they also may obtaine mercie.
32 Kakuti Ireeza abe yalili bonse che baka lya kuse chilila, njikuti naba bonise chishemo kubose. (eleēsē g1653)
For God hath shut vp all in vnbeliefe, that he might haue mercie on all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oho, butungi bwe chifumu bonse bwa butali ni bwa maano e Ireeza! Kuwoleka bule kusanganiwa kwe nkatulo zakwe, mi inzila zakwe zina kule ni kwi zabahala!
O the deepenesse of the riches, both of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! howe vnsearcheable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!
34 “Kakuti njeni yabezibi muhupulo wa Simwine? Kamba njeni yaba bi muyelezi wakwe?
For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord? or who was his counsellour?
35 Kamba njeni chetanzi yabahi chintu kwa Ireeza, ili kuti Ireeza amulihe?”
Or who hath giuen vnto him first, and he shalbe recompensed?
