KwabaseRoma 9
1 Ngikhuluma iqiniso kuKristu, kangiqambi manga, isazela sami sifakazelana lami ngoMoya oNgcwele,
ahaM kAnjcid kalpitAM kathAM na kathayAmi, khrISTasya sAkSAt satyamEva bravImi pavitrasyAtmanaH sAkSAn madIyaM mana Etat sAkSyaM dadAti|
2 ukuthi ngilokudabuka okukhulu, lobuhlungu obungapheliyo enhliziyweni yami.
mamAntaratizayaduHkhaM nirantaraM khEdazca
3 Ngoba ngingafisa ukuthi mina uqobo ngiqalekiswe kuKristu ngenxa yabazalwane bami, izihlobo zami ngokwenyama;
tasmAd ahaM svajAtIyabhrAtRNAM nimittAt svayaM khrISTAcchApAkrAntO bhavitum aiccham|
4 abangamaIsrayeli, okungokwabo ukuma kwabantwana, lenkazimulo, lezivumelwano, lokunikwa komlayo, lenkonzo kaNkulunkulu, lezithembiso,
yatasta isrAyElasya vaMzA api ca dattakaputratvaM tEjO niyamO vyavasthAdAnaM mandirE bhajanaM pratijnjAH pitRpuruSagaNazcaitESu sarvvESu tESAm adhikArO'sti|
5 abangababo obaba, njalo avela kubo uKristu ngokwenyama, ophezu kwakho konke, uNkulunkulu obongekayo kuze kube nininini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
tat kEvalaM nahi kintu sarvvAdhyakSaH sarvvadA saccidAnanda IzvarO yaH khrISTaH sO'pi zArIrikasambandhEna tESAM vaMzasambhavaH| (aiōn g165)
6 Kodwa kakunjengokuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lehlulekile. Ngoba kakusibo bonke abavela kuIsrayeli, abanguIsrayeli;
Izvarasya vAkyaM viphalaM jAtam iti nahi yatkAraNAd isrAyElO vaMzE yE jAtAstE sarvvE vastuta isrAyElIyA na bhavanti|
7 njalo kungesikuthi ngoba bayinzalo kaAbrahama, bonke bangabantwana; kodwa: NgoIsaka inzalo izabizelwa kuwe.
aparam ibrAhImO vaMzE jAtA api sarvvE tasyaiva santAnA na bhavanti kintu ishAkO nAmnA tava vaMzO vikhyAtO bhaviSyati|
8 Lokhu kutsho ukuthi, kakusibo abantwana benyama, bona bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu; kodwa abantwana besithembiso bathiwa yinzalo.
arthAt zArIrikasaMsargAt jAtAH santAnA yAvantastAvanta EvEzvarasya santAnA na bhavanti kintu pratizravaNAd yE jAyantE taEvEzvaravaMzO gaNyatE|
9 Ngoba ilizwi lesithembiso yileli elokuthi: Ngalesisikhathi ngizafika, njalo uSara uzakuba lendodana.
yatastatpratizrutE rvAkyamEtat, EtAdRzE samayE 'haM punarAgamiSyAmi tatpUrvvaM sArAyAH putra EkO janiSyatE|
10 Kakusikho lokhu kuphela, kodwa loRebeka esekhulelwe ngomunye, ubaba wethu uIsaka;
aparamapi vadAmi svamanO'bhilASata IzvarENa yannirUpitaM tat karmmatO nahi kintvAhvayitu rjAtamEtad yathA siddhyati
11 ngoba abantwana bengakazalwa, bengakenzi okuhle loba okubi, ukuze icebo likaNkulunkulu elingokokukhetha lime, kungaveli emisebenzini, kodwa kuvele kobizayo,
tadarthaM ribkAnAmikayA yOSitA janaikasmAd arthAd asmAkam ishAkaH pUrvvapuruSAd garbhE dhRtE tasyAH santAnayOH prasavAt pUrvvaM kinjca tayOH zubhAzubhakarmmaNaH karaNAt pUrvvaM
12 kwatshiwo kuye ukuthi: Omkhulu uzakhonza omncinyane,
tAM pratIdaM vAkyam uktaM, jyESThaH kaniSThaM sEviSyatE,
13 njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: UJakobe ngamthanda, kodwa uEsawu ngamzonda.

14 Pho-ke sizakuthini? Kukhona ukungalungi kuNkulunkulu yini? Phinde!
tarhi vayaM kiM brUmaH? IzvaraH kim anyAyakArI? tathA na bhavatu|
15 Ngoba uthi kuMozisi: Ngizakuba lomusa kwengilomusa kuye, njalo ngimhawukele engimhawukelayo.
yataH sa svayaM mUsAm avadat; ahaM yasmin anugrahaM cikIrSAmi tamEvAnugRhlAmi, yanjca dayitum icchAmi tamEva dayE|
16 Ngakho kakusikho kothandayo, njalo kakusikho kogijimayo, kodwa ngokukaNkulunkulu olesihawu.
ataEvEcchatA yatamAnEna vA mAnavEna tanna sAdhyatE dayAkAriNEzvarENaiva sAdhyatE|
17 Ngoba umbhalo uthi kuFaro: Ngakuphakamisela khona lokho, ukuze ngibonakalise amandla ami ngawe, njalo ukuze ibizo lami litshunyayelwe emhlabeni wonke.
phirauNi zAstrE likhati, ahaM tvaddvArA matparAkramaM darzayituM sarvvapRthivyAM nijanAma prakAzayitunjca tvAM sthApitavAn|
18 Ngakho uhawukela lowo athanda ukumhawukela; njalo amenze abe lukhuni lowo athanda ukumenza lukhuni.
ataH sa yam anugrahItum icchati tamEvAnugRhlAti, yanjca nigrahItum icchati taM nigRhlAti|
19 Ngakho uzakuthi kimi: Usasolelani? Ngoba ngubani ongamelana lentando yakhe?
yadi vadasi tarhi sa dOSaM kutO gRhlAti? tadIyEcchAyAH pratibandhakatvaM karttaM kasya sAmarthyaM vidyatE?
20 Hatshi bo, wena muntu, ungubani wena ophikisana loNkulunkulu? Okubunjiweyo kungatsho yini kowakubumbayo ukuthi: Wangenzelani ngabanje?
hE Izvarasya pratipakSa martya tvaM kaH? EtAdRzaM mAM kutaH sRSTavAn? iti kathAM sRSTavastu sraSTrE kiM kathayiSyati?
21 Kumbe umbumbi kalagunya yini phezu kwebumba, ukuthi ngesigaqa sisinye enze isitsha esinye esihloniphekayo, lesinye esingahloniphekiyo?
EkasmAn mRtpiNPAd utkRSTApakRSTau dvividhau kalazau karttuM kiM kulAlasya sAmarthyaM nAsti?
22 Njalo uba uNkulunkulu ethanda ukubonakalisa ulaka lwakhe, lokwazisa amandla akhe, wathwala ngokubekezela okukhulu izitsha zolaka ezilungiselwe ukubhujiswa;
IzvaraH kOpaM prakAzayituM nijazaktiM jnjApayitunjcEcchan yadi vinAzasya yOgyAni krOdhabhAjanAni prati bahukAlaM dIrghasahiSNutAm Azrayati;
23 njalo ukuze azise inotho yenkazimulo yakhe phezu kwezitsha zomusa, ayezilungisele ngaphambili inkazimulo,
aparanjca vibhavaprAptyarthaM pUrvvaM niyuktAnyanugrahapAtrANi prati nijavibhavasya bAhulyaM prakAzayituM kEvalayihUdinAM nahi bhinnadEzinAmapi madhyAd
24 ngitsho thina, asibizileyo, kungeyisikho kumaJuda kuphela, kodwa lakwabezizwe?
asmAniva tAnyAhvayati tatra tava kiM?
25 Njengalokhu akutsho lakuHoseya: Abangeyisibo abantu bami ngizababiza ngokuthi ngabantu bami; lowayengathandwa ngokuthi ngothandekayo;
hOzEyagranthE yathA likhitam AstE, yO lOkO mama nAsIt taM vadiSyAmi madIyakaM| yA jAti rmE'priyA cAsIt tAM vadiSyAmyahaM priyAM|
26 njalo kuzakuthi, endaweni lapho okwathiwa khona kubo: Kalisibo abantu bami, khona lapho bazabizwa ngokuthi ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
yUyaM madIyalOkA na yatrEti vAkyamaucyata| amarEzasya santAnA iti khyAsyanti tatra tE|
27 LoIsaya umemeza ngoIsrayeli esithi: Lanxa inani labantwana bakoIsrayeli lingangetshebetshebe lolwandle, insali izasindiswa;
isrAyElIyalOkESu yizAyiyO'pi vAcamEtAM prAcArayat, isrAyElIyavaMzAnAM yA saMkhyA sA tu nizcitaM| samudrasikatAsaMkhyAsamAnA yadi jAyatE| tathApi kEvalaM lOkairalpaistrANaM vrajiSyatE|
28 ngoba uzaqeda isenzo asiqume ngokulunga; ngoba iNkosi izakwenza isenzo siqunywe ngokuphangisa emhlabeni.
yatO nyAyEna svaM karmma parEzaH sAdhayiSyati| dEzE saEva saMkSEpAnnijaM karmma kariSyati|
29 Njalo njengoba uIsaya watsho ngaphambili ukuthi: Uba iNkosi yamabandla ibingasitshiyelanga inzalo, besizakuba njengeSodoma, njalo besizakwenziwa sifanane leGomora.

30 Pho sizakuthini? Ukuthi abezizwe abangadingisisi ukulunga, bakubambile ukulunga, ukulunga-ke okungokholo;
tarhi vayaM kiM vakSyAmaH? itaradEzIyA lOkA api puNyArtham ayatamAnA vizvAsEna puNyam alabhanta;
31 kodwa uIsrayeli, edingisisa umlayo wokulunga, kawufinyelelanga umlayo wokulunga.
kintvisrAyEllOkA vyavasthApAlanEna puNyArthaM yatamAnAstan nAlabhanta|
32 Ngani? Ngoba kabadingisisanga ngokholo, kodwa ngokungathi ngemisebenzi yomlayo; ngoba bakhubeka elitsheni lokukhubekisa,
tasya kiM kAraNaM? tE vizvAsEna nahi kintu vyavasthAyAH kriyayA cESTitvA tasmin skhalanajanakE pASANE pAdaskhalanaM prAptAH|
33 njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Khangela ngibeka eSiyoni ilitshe lokukhubekisa ledwala lokuwisa; laye wonke okholwa kuye kayikuyangeka.
