KwabaseRoma 11
1 Ngakho ngithi: UNkulunkulu ubalahlile yini abantu bakhe? Phinde! Ngoba lami ngingumIsrayeli, owenzalo kaAbrahama, wesizwe sikaBhenjamini.
IzvarENa svIkIyalOkA apasAritA ahaM kim IdRzaM vAkyaM bravImi? tanna bhavatu yatO'hamapi binyAmInagOtrIya ibrAhImavaMzIya isrAyElIyalOkO'smi|
2 UNkulunkulu kabalahlanga abantu bakhe abazi ngaphambili. Kumbe kalazi yini kuElija ukuthi umbhalo uthini? Ukuthi walabhela njani kuNkulunkulu emelene loIsrayeli, esithi:
IzvarENa pUrvvaM yE pradRSTAstE svakIyalOkA apasAritA iti nahi| aparam EliyOpAkhyAnE zAstrE yallikhitam AstE tad yUyaM kiM na jAnItha?
3 Nkosi, babulele abaprofethi bakho, badilizile amalathi akho; mina-ke ngisele ngedwa, sebedinga umphefumulo wami.

4 Kodwa impendulo kaNkulunkulu yathini kuye? Yathi: Ngizitshiyele amadoda azinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, angaguqanga ngedolo kuBhali.
tatastaM pratIzvarasyOttaraM kiM jAtaM? bAlnAmnO dEvasya sAkSAt yai rjAnUni na pAtitAni tAdRzAH sapta sahasrANi lOkA avazESitA mayA|
5 Kunjalo-ke kukhona langalesisikhathi insali ngokukhetha komusa.
tadvad Etasmin varttamAnakAlE'pi anugrahENAbhirucitAstESAm avaziSTAH katipayA lOkAH santi|
6 Kodwa uba kungomusa, kakusayi ngemisebenzi; uba kungenjalo umusa kawuseyiwo umusa. Kodwa aluba kusiya ngemisebenzi, kakuseyiwo umusa; uba kungenjalo umsebenzi kawusengumsebenzi.
ataEva tad yadyanugrahENa bhavati tarhi kriyayA na bhavati nO cEd anugrahO'nanugraha Eva, yadi vA kriyayA bhavati tarhyanugrahENa na bhavati nO cEt kriyA kriyaiva na bhavati|
7 Pho-ke? Lokhu uIsrayeli ayekudinga, lokho kakutholanga, kodwa abakhethiweyo bakuthola, labanye benziwa baba lukhuni;
tarhi kiM? isrAyElIyalOkA yad amRgayanta tanna prApuH| kintvabhirucitalOkAstat prApustadanyE sarvva andhIbhUtAH|
8 njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: UNkulunkulu wabanika umoya wobuthongo obukhulu, amehlo ukuze bangaboni, lendlebe ukuze bangezwa, kuze kube lusuku lwalamuhla.
yathA likhitam AstE, ghOranidrAlutAbhAvaM dRSTihInE ca lOcanE| karNau zrutivihInau ca pradadau tEbhya IzvaraH||
9 LoDavida uthi: Itafula labo libe ngumjibila lesifu, lesikhubekiso, lempindiselo kubo;
EtEsmin dAyUdapi likhitavAn yathA, atO bhuktyAsanaM tESAm unmAthavad bhaviSyati| vA vaMzayantravad bAdhA daNPavad vA bhaviSyati||
10 amehlo abo kafiphazwe ukuze bangaboni, njalo ugobise umhlana wabo njalonjalo.
bhaviSyanti tathAndhAstE nEtraiH pazyanti nO yathA| vEpathuH kaTidEzasya tESAM nityaM bhaviSyati||
11 Ngakho ngithi: Bakhubeka ukuze bawe yini? Phinde! Kodwa ngesiphambeko sabo usindiso lufikile kwabezizwe, ukubavusela umona.
patanArthaM tE skhalitavanta iti vAcaM kimahaM vadAmi? tanna bhavatu kintu tAn udyOginaH karttuM tESAM patanAd itaradEzIyalOkaiH paritrANaM prAptaM|
12 Kodwa uba isiphambeko sabo siyinotho yomhlaba, lokwehluleka kwabo kuyinotho yabezizwe, kakhulu kangakanani ukugcwala kwabo?
tESAM patanaM yadi jagatO lOkAnAM lAbhajanakam abhavat tESAM hrAsO'pi yadi bhinnadEzinAM lAbhajanakO'bhavat tarhi tESAM vRddhiH kati lAbhajanikA bhaviSyati?
13 Ngoba ngikhuluma lani bezizwe, njengalokho mina ngingumphostoli wabezizwe; ngikhulisa inkonzo yami;
atO hE anyadEzinO yuSmAn sambOdhya kathayAmi nijAnAM jnjAtibandhUnAM manaHsUdyOgaM janayan tESAM madhyE kiyatAM lOkAnAM yathA paritrANaM sAdhayAmi
14 ukuthi mhlawumbe ngibavusele umona abenyama yami, ngisindise abanye babo.
tannimittam anyadEzinAM nikaTE prEritaH san ahaM svapadasya mahimAnaM prakAzayAmi|
15 Ngoba uba ukulahlwa kwabo kuyikubuyiswa komhlaba, kungaba yini ukwemukelwa, ngaphandle kokuthi kuyimpilo kwabafileyo?
tESAM nigrahENa yadIzvarENa saha jagatO janAnAM mElanaM jAtaM tarhi tESAm anugRhItatvaM mRtadEhE yathA jIvanalAbhastadvat kiM na bhaviSyati?
16 Njalo uba izithelo zokuqala zingcwele, lenhlama injalo; uba-ke impande ingcwele, lengatsha zinjalo.
aparaM prathamajAtaM phalaM yadi pavitraM bhavati tarhi sarvvamEva phalaM pavitraM bhaviSyati; tathA mUlaM yadi pavitraM bhavati tarhi zAkhA api tathaiva bhaviSyanti|
17 Kodwa uba kwephulwe ezinye ingatsha, lawe ongumhlwathi weganga waxhunyelelwa phakathi kwazo, uhlanganyele lazo impande lamafutha omhlwathi,
kiyatInAM zAkhAnAM chEdanE kRtE tvaM vanyajitavRkSasya zAkhA bhUtvA yadi tacchAkhAnAM sthAnE rOpitA sati jitavRkSIyamUlasya rasaM bhuMkSE,
18 ungazincomi phezu kwengatsha; kodwa uba uzincoma phezu kwazo, kayisuwe othwele impande, kodwa impande wena.
tarhi tAsAM bhinnazAkhAnAM viruddhaM mAM garvvIH; yadi garvvasi tarhi tvaM mUlaM yanna dhArayasi kintu mUlaM tvAM dhArayatIti saMsmara|
19 Uzakuthi-ke: Ingatsha zephulwa, ukuze mina ngixhunyelwe.
aparanjca yadi vadasi mAM rOpayituM tAH zAkhA vibhannA abhavan;
20 Kulungile; zephulwa ngokungakholwa, wena-ke umi ngokholo. Ungazikhukhumezi, kodwa yesaba;
bhadram, apratyayakAraNAt tE vibhinnA jAtAstathA vizvAsakAraNAt tvaM rOpitO jAtastasmAd ahagkAram akRtvA sasAdhvasO bhava|
21 ngoba uba uNkulunkulu engayekelanga ingatsha zemvelo, hlezi lawe kayikukuyekela.
yata IzvarO yadi svAbhAvikIH zAkhA na rakSati tarhi sAvadhAnO bhava cEt tvAmapi na sthApayati|
22 Khangela-ke ububele lobukhali bukaNkulunkulu; ubukhali, kulabo abawayo; kodwa kuwe, ububele, uba uhlala ebubeleni; uba kungenjalo uzaqunywa lawe.
ityatrEzvarasya yAdRzI kRpA tAdRzaM bhayAnakatvamapi tvayA dRzyatAM; yE patitAstAn prati tasya bhayAnakatvaM dRzyatAM, tvanjca yadi tatkRpAzritastiSThasi tarhi tvAM prati kRpA drakSyatE; nO cEt tvamapi tadvat chinnO bhaviSyasi|
23 Lalabo futhi, uba bengahlali ekungakholweni, bazaxhunyelwa, ngoba uNkulunkulu ulamandla okubuya abaxhume.
aparanjca tE yadyapratyayE na tiSThanti tarhi punarapi rOpayiSyantE yasmAt tAn punarapi rOpayitum izvarasya zaktirAstE|
24 Ngoba uba wena waqunywa emhlwathini weganga ngemvelo, wasuxhunyelelwa ngokuphambene lemvelo emhlwathini ohlanyelweyo, kakhulu kangakanani labo, abazingatsha ngemvelo, bazaxhunyelelwa esihlahleni sakibo somhlwathi?
vanyajitavRkSasya zAkhA san tvaM yadi tatazchinnO rItivyatyayEnOttamajitavRkSE rOpitO'bhavastarhi tasya vRkSasya svIyA yAH zAkhAstAH kiM punaH svavRkSE saMlagituM na zaknuvanti?
25 Ngoba ngithanda ukuthi lingabi ngabangaziyo, bazalwane, ngalimfihlo, hlezi lizitshaye abahlakaniphileyo, ukuthi ubulukhuni sebehlele uIsrayeli nganxanye, kuze kungene ukugcwala kwabezizwe;
hE bhrAtarO yuSmAkam AtmAbhimAnO yanna jAyatE tadarthaM mamEdRzI vAnjchA bhavati yUyaM EtannigUPhatattvam ajAnantO yanna tiSThatha; vastutO yAvatkAlaM sampUrNarUpENa bhinnadEzinAM saMgrahO na bhaviSyati tAvatkAlam aMzatvEna isrAyElIyalOkAnAm andhatA sthAsyati;
26 ngokunjalo-ke uIsrayeli wonke uzasindiswa; njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Kuzavela eSiyoni uMkhululi, asuse ukungabi loNkulunkulu kuJakobe;
pazcAt tE sarvvE paritrAsyantE; EtAdRzaM likhitamapyAstE, AgamiSyati sIyOnAd EkO yastrANadAyakaH| adharmmaM yAkubO vaMzAt sa tu dUrIkariSyati|
27 njalo yilesi isivumelwano sami kubo, lapho ngizasusa izono zabo.
tathA dUrIkariSyAmi tESAM pApAnyahaM yadA| tadA tairEva sArddhaM mE niyamO'yaM bhaviSyati|
28 Ngokwevangeli bayizitha ngenxa yenu; kodwa ngokukhetha bangabathandiweyo ngenxa yabobaba;
susaMvAdAt tE yuSmAkaM vipakSA abhavan kintvabhirucitatvAt tE pitRlOkAnAM kRtE priyapAtrANi bhavanti|
29 ngoba izipho zomusa lokubiza kukaNkulunkulu kakulakuphenduka.
yata Izvarasya dAnAd AhvAnAnjca pazcAttApO na bhavati|
30 Ngoba njengalokhu lani kade lingamlaleli uNkulunkulu, kodwa khathesi selihawukelwe ngenxa yokungalaleli kwabo;
ataEva pUrvvam IzvarE'vizvAsinaH santO'pi yUyaM yadvat samprati tESAm avizvAsakAraNAd Izvarasya kRpApAtrANi jAtAstadvad
31 ngokunjalo lalabo khathesi kabalalelanga, ukuze ngesihawu senu bahawukelwe labo;

33 Yeka ukujula kwenotho, kokubili eyenhlakanipho leyolwazi lukaNkulunkulu! Kakuphenyeki kangakanani ukwahlulela kwakhe, lendlela zakhe kazilandeleki!

34 Ngoba ngubani owazi ingqondo yeNkosi? Kumbe ngubani owaba ngumeluleki wayo?
paramEzvarasya sagkalpaM kO jnjAtavAn? tasya mantrI vA kO'bhavat?
35 Kumbe ngubani owamnika kuqala, njalo kubuyiselwe kuye?
