KwabaseRoma 4
1 Pho-ke sizakuthi uAbrahama ubaba wethu wazuzani ngokwenyama?
Chizi cwale mutuwambe kuti Aburahama, isukuzwetu chokuya che nyama, avawani?
2 Ngoba uba uAbrahama walungisiswa ngemisebenzi, ulokuzincoma, kodwa kungekho phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Kakuti haiva Aburahama ava shemuviwa che misevezi, navavi nevaka lyo kuwola kuli temba, kono isiñi havusu bwe Ireeza.
3 Ngoba umbhalo uthini? Uthi: Kodwa uAbrahama wakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kwasekubalelwa kuye ukuthi yikulunga.
Kono awamba nzi mañolo? “Aburahama ava zumini Ireeza, mi ivavalirwa kwali kuva yo lukite.”
4 Kodwa kulowo osebenzayo kabalelwa iholo ngokomusa, kodwa ngokomlandu.
Lyahanu kwali yoseveza, ituwero zavo kazisupiwa uvu chishemo, kono uvu icho chava wana.
5 Kodwa kulowo ongasebenziyo, kodwa ekholwa kuye olungisisa oweyisa uNkulunkulu, ukholo lwakhe lubalelwa ukuthi yikulunga.
Kono kwali uzo yasa sevezi kono iye uzumina muyenke yo shemuva vapanga zivi, itumero yakwe avali uvu ilukite.
6 Njengoba laye uDavida ekhuluma ngokubusiswa komuntu, uNkulunkulu ambalela ukulunga ngaphandle kwemisebenzi esithi:
Davida naye ava wambi imbuyoti ha muntu kozo Ireeza wavala kuluka nikusena misevezi.
7 Babusisiwe abaziphambeko zabo zithethelelwe labazono zabo zisitshekelwe.
Ava wambi, “Imbuyoti javo zivi zavo ziva wonderwa, mi zivi zakwe za bwikwa.
8 Ubusisiwe umuntu iNkosi engasoze yambalela isono.
Imbuyoti njo mukwame uzo Simwine kete avalire chivi.”
9 Ngakho lokhukubusiswa kuphezu kokusoka yini, kumbe laphezu kokungasoki? Ngoba sithi: Ukholo lwabalelwa kuAbrahama ukuthi luyikulunga.
Linu inzi imbuyoti zivawambwa vulyo havo vavayi mumupato, kamba nikwavo vasana vavayendsi mumupato? Kakuti tuwamba, “Itumero ivava lirwa kwa Aburahama sina yolukite.”
10 Pho lwabalelwa njani? Lapho esekusokeni yini, kumbe ekungasokini? Kungekho ekusokeni, kodwa ekungasokini.
Cwale ivavalirwa vule? Aho Aburahama havali mumupato, kamba naseni kuya mumupato? Kena ivali mumupato, kono naseni kuya mumupato.
11 Wasesemukela isibonakaliso sokusoka, uphawu lokulunga kokholo ayelakho ekungasokini; ukuze abe nguyise wabo bonke abakholwayo lanxa bengasokanga, ukuze ukulunga kubalelwe lakibo;
Aburahama ava tambuli chisupo cho mupato. Ichi ivali iswayo lyo kuluka lye tumero iyo yavali kukwete kale aho naseni kupangiwa mupato. Mamanisezo echi chisupo ivali kuti avezi kuva isi wavonse avo vazumina, nangati kuti vena mukusaya mumupato.
12 loyise wokusoka kulabo abangayisibo bokusoka kuphela, kodwa futhi abahamba ezinyathelweni zokholo lukababa wethu uAbrahama ayelalo engakasokwa.
Ichi kutalusa kuti kuluka muku valilwe ku vali. Iyi italusa kuti Abrahama avezi kuva isi wo mupato kwavo veza isiñi fela kwavo vakwazwa ku mupato, kono nikwavo ve chilila mihato ye shetu Abrahama. Mi iyi nji ntumeloyava kwina nayo kuvava seni va panga mupato.
13 Ngoba kasingomlayo isithembiso kuAbrahama kumbe kunzalo yakhe, ukuthi uzakuba yindlalifa yomhlaba, kodwa ngokulunga kokholo.
Kaho kena ivali cho mulao kuti insepiso iva hewa kwa Abrahama niku vana vakwe, iyi nsepiso kuti kavave va yoli ve nkanda. Kono, ivali choku kuluka kwe tumero.
14 Ngoba uba labo abomlayo beyizindlalifa, ukholo lwenziwe ize, lesithembiso senziwa ize;
Lyahanu haiva avo vawira kumulawo vayoli, itumero ipangitwe mukungulu, mi isepiso chiyavuzwa ziho.
15 ngoba umlayo ubanga ulaka; ngoba lapho okungekho khona umlayo, kakukho lokweqa.
Kakuti mulawo uleta vukali, kono aho hasena mulao, kamba kuva ho kusechilira.
16 Ngakho kungokholo, ukuze kube ngokomusa; ukuze isithembiso siqiniseke kuyo yonke inzalo; kungeyisiyo engeyomlayo kuphela kodwa lakuyo engeyokholo lukaAbrahama, ongubaba wethu sonke,
Cheli ivaka ichi chivapangahali che tumero, iri kuti iwole kuva che chishemo. sina mamanikizo, isepiso jovu niti luli ku lusika lonse. Mi ululusika kaluhindilire isiñi vulyo avo vezi mulao, kono vulyo navo vazwa kwi tumero ya Aburahama. Kakuti ji shetu tuvonse,
17 (njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Ngikumisile ukuthi ube nguyise wezizwe ezinengi) phambi kwakhe akholwa kuye, uNkulunkulu, ophilisa abafileyo, lobiza izinto ezingekho ngokungathi zikhona.
sina haiñoletwe, “Niva kupangi isi we kanda zingi.”Aburahama avali kwina havusu bwakwe uzo wava sepete, ili uzo, Ireeza, uha vuhalo kuva fwire niku supa zintu zisakwina kuku va kwateni.
18 Owathi emelane lethemba wakholwa ngethemba, ukuze abe nguyise wezizwe ezinengi, njengalokho okwatshiwoyo ukuthi: Izakuba njalo inzalo yakho.
Nihakuva vulyo onse masukuluko ahanze, Aburahama chovundume ava sepete Ireeza kuzo kuvusu. Cwale cheza kuva isi wekanda zingi, chokuya kwecho chiva wambwa, “Ilyo jeteve ishika lyako.”
19 Njalo kabanga buthakathaka ekholweni, kanakananga umzimba wakhe uqobo owawusufile, ngoba wayesengaba leminyaka elikhulu, lokufa kwesizalo sikaSara;
Kena avali ku fokola mwitumero. Aburahama avazuwisisi kuti muvili wakwe iyemwine kena uvali kuwola kuva ni mwana (kakuti chavali we zirimo zo mwanda zava hali). Hape avazumini kuti ivumo lya Saara kena livali kuwola kuhinda mwana.
20 njalo kathandabuzanga ngesithembiso sikaNkulunkulu ngokungakholwa, kodwa waqiniswa ekholweni, enika uNkulunkulu udumo,
Kono chevaka lye sepiso ze Ireeza, Aburahama kena ava hakanyehi mukusa zumina. Lyahanu, avali kukozetwe mwi tumero ni kuha milumbeko kwe Ireeza.
21 njalo eqinisekile ngokupheleleyo ukuthi lokho ayekuthembisile, ulamandla ngitsho okukwenza.
Avali kuzumine luli kuti icho Ireeza cha va sepisi, naye ava woli kwizuzirikiza.
22 Ngalokho-ke kwabalelwa kuye ukuthi yikulunga.
Hakwina vulyo ichi nacho chiva valilwa kwali uvu yo lukite.
23 Kakubhalwanga-ke ngenxa yakhe yedwa, ukuthi kwabalelwa kuye;
Lyahanu kena ziva ñolerwe chevaka lyazasa wane, izo zivavalirwa kwali.
24 kodwa langenxa yethu, esizabalelwa khona, thina esikholwa kuye owavusa uJesu iNkosi yethu kwabafileyo,
Ivali kuñolelwe vulyo ni kwetu, kwavo vete ivalilwe, iswe tuzumina mwali uzo yava vusi Jesu Simwine wetu kwavo vafwire.
25 owanikelwa ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu, wavuswa ngenxa yokulungisiswa kwethu.
Uzu jiyena avali kuherwe chezivi zetu mi ava vuswa kutu panga vashiyeme.
