KwabaseRoma 9
1 Ngikhuluma iqiniso kuKristu, kangiqambi manga, isazela sami sifakazelana lami ngoMoya oNgcwele,
Lino ndambanga cakubinga ame ndewakendi Yesu Klistu, kayi nkandabepenga sobwe. Mengashilo akame alatangununwanga ne Mushimu Uswepa ulanyinshilinga bukamboni kwambeti
2 ukuthi ngilokudabuka okukhulu, lobuhlungu obungapheliyo enhliziyweni yami.
ndetelwa mumoyo. Kayi cilambabanga kwakutalekesha
3 Ngoba ngingafisa ukuthi mina uqobo ngiqalekiswe kuKristu ngenxa yabazalwane bami, izihlobo zami ngokwenyama;
pacebo ca bakwetu, bantu ba mushobo wakame. Nendalakondwa kwambeti pamusena wabo ame nendalaba washinganwa, walekana kuli Klistu.
4 abangamaIsrayeli, okungokwabo ukuma kwabantwana, lenkazimulo, lezivumelwano, lokunikwa komlayo, lenkonzo kaNkulunkulu, lezithembiso,
Balo e Baislayeli, Lesa mbwalasala kwambeti babe banabendi, kayi walababonesha bulemeno. Lesa walapangana nabo, kayi nekubapa Milawo. Walabeisha mwakukambilila, kayi balatambula ncalabashomesha.
5 abangababo obaba, njalo avela kubo uKristu ngokwenyama, ophezu kwakho konke, uNkulunkulu obongekayo kuze kube nininini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
Nabo nibashikulu ba bamashali betu bakaindi, kayi Klistu Mupulushi walaiwa usa ni wa mumushobo wabo twamba sha buntu bwakendi. Lesa lendeleshenga byonse alemekwe cindi conse. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
6 Kodwa kakunjengokuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lehlulekile. Ngoba kakusibo bonke abavela kuIsrayeli, abanguIsrayeli;
Lino nteko kwambeti Lesa nkalasunga ncalashomesha sobwe. Pakwinga ntebo bonse beshikusemwa mu mushobo wa Baislayeli kwambeti ni bantu ba Lesa sobwe.
7 njalo kungesikuthi ngoba bayinzalo kaAbrahama, bonke bangabantwana; kodwa: NgoIsaka inzalo izabizelwa kuwe.
Nambi kwambeti bashikulu bonse ba Abulahamu nibana ba Lesa. Nsombi Lesa walambila Abulahamu kwambeti, “Bana ba Isaki bonka endibo beshi bakakwiweti bashikulu bakobe.”
8 Lokhu kutsho ukuthi, kakusibo abantwana benyama, bona bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu; kodwa abantwana besithembiso bathiwa yinzalo.
Lino nte bana bonse ba Abulahamu belela kukwiweti ebana ba Lesa sobwe. Bashikulu bendi bancinencine ni bana abo bonka balasemwa kwelana ne cishomesho ca Lesa.
9 Ngoba ilizwi lesithembiso yileli elokuthi: Ngalesisikhathi ngizafika, njalo uSara uzakuba lendodana.
Lesa walashomesha mpwalambeti, “Pacindi celela ninkabwele, kayi Sala nakabe ne mwana mutuloba.”
10 Kakusikho lokhu kuphela, kodwa loRebeka esekhulelwe ngomunye, ubaba wethu uIsaka;
Lino nteco ici conka sobwe. Bana babili ba Lubeka basa mushali wabo walikuba umo, mushali wetu Isaki.
11 ngoba abantwana bengakazalwa, bengakenzi okuhle loba okubi, ukuze icebo likaNkulunkulu elingokokukhetha lime, kungaveli emisebenzini, kodwa kuvele kobizayo,
Nambi bana abo nkabatana basemwa, kayi katana ainsapo caina ciliconse nambi caipa, Lesa walayandeti kuyanda kwakendi nkwalasalilalimo muntu uliyense kwinshike. Walensa ibi kutamba pacebo ca ncito shabo, nsombi pacebo cakwambeti Lesa walamukuwa.
12 kwatshiwo kuye ukuthi: Omkhulu uzakhonza omncinyane,
Neco Lesa walambila Lubeka eti, “Mukulene nakasebensele kanike.”
13 njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: UJakobe ngamthanda, kodwa uEsawu ngamzonda.
Pakwinga Mabala alambangeti, “Yakobo ndalamusuna, nsombi ndalapela Esau.”
14 Pho-ke sizakuthini? Kukhona ukungalungi kuNkulunkulu yini? Phinde!
Lino ngatwambeconi? Sena ngatwambeti Lesa nkalulama? Sobwe, nkatwela kwambeco.
15 Ngoba uthi kuMozisi: Ngizakuba lomusa kwengilomusa kuye, njalo ngimhawukele engimhawukelayo.
Pakwinga nendi walambila Mose eti, “Ninkenshile nkumbo muntu uliyense ngonsuni kumwinshila nkumbo, ninkanyumfwile luse uyo ngonsuni kumunyumfwila luse.”
16 Ngakho kakusikho kothandayo, njalo kakusikho kogijimayo, kodwa ngokukaNkulunkulu olesihawu.
Neco cilayandikinga nteco muntu ncasuni, nambi bintu muntu mbyakute kwelesha kwinsa, nsombi cilayandikinga ni nkumbo sha Lesa.
17 Ngoba umbhalo uthi kuFaro: Ngakuphakamisela khona lokho, ukuze ngibonakalise amandla ami ngawe, njalo ukuze ibizo lami litshunyayelwe emhlabeni wonke.
Mbuli ncotukute kubelenga mu Mabala kwambeti Lesa walambila mwami waku Injipto kwambeti, “Ndalakubika kuba mwami, kwambeti mulinjobe ndeshe ngofu shakame, kayi nekwambeti lina lyakame linyumfwike pacishi conse capanshi.”
18 Ngakho uhawukela lowo athanda ukumhawukela; njalo amenze abe lukhuni lowo athanda ukumenza lukhuni.
Neco tukute kuboneti Lesa ukute kwinshila inkumbo muntu uyo ngwasuni kwambeti amwinshile nkumbo, kayi ukute kusandula muntu uliyense kuba muntu wayuma moyo na kayanda.
19 Ngakho uzakuthi kimi: Usasolelani? Ngoba ngubani ongamelana lentando yakhe?
Lino naumbi ngaunjipusheti, “Na cilico, inga nipacebo cini Lesa ncakute kubapela mulandu bantu? Niyani wela kukanisha Lesa ncalayandanga kwinsa?”
20 Hatshi bo, wena muntu, ungubani wena ophikisana loNkulunkulu? Okubunjiweyo kungatsho yini kowakubumbayo ukuthi: Wangenzelani ngabanje?
Nsombi obe muntu, njobe bani kwambeti ngototekeshana ne Lesa? Sena nongo ngaipusha shikwibumba, “Nomba mulamumbu aconi mushobo uwu?”
21 Kumbe umbumbi kalagunya yini phezu kwebumba, ukuthi ngesigaqa sisinye enze isitsha esinye esihloniphekayo, lesinye esingahloniphekiyo?
Sena shikubumba nkela kubumba nongo shibili ne bulungo bopelobo naimbi iba yakusebensesha cindi capalubasu naimbi iba ya masuba onse?
22 Njalo uba uNkulunkulu ethanda ukubonakalisa ulaka lwakhe, lokwazisa amandla akhe, wathwala ngokubekezela okukhulu izitsha zolaka ezilungiselwe ukubhujiswa;
Lesa encabele. Walayanda kulesha bukalu bwakendi, kayi ne kuyandeti ngofu shakendi shinshibike, nsombi walapitilisha kwikalika moyo pa bintu byali kwinsa bantu mbwalakalalila, kayi balikuba belela konongeka.
23 njalo ukuze azise inotho yenkazimulo yakhe phezu kwezitsha zomusa, ayezilungisele ngaphambili inkazimulo,
Kayi Lesa walayanda kwambeti bulemeneno bwakendi bunene bwinshibike palinjafwe, nomba nendi walatwinshila nkumbo, ne kutubambilalimo kwambeti tutambule bulemeneno bwakendi.
24 ngitsho thina, asibizileyo, kungeyisikho kumaJuda kuphela, kodwa lakwabezizwe?
Weco afwe njafwe mbwalakuwa Lesa, kutambeti kufuma ku Bayuda bonka sobwe, nsombi kufuma kayi mu bantu ba mishobo naimbi.
25 Njengalokhu akutsho lakuHoseya: Abangeyisibo abantu bami ngizababiza ngokuthi ngabantu bami; lowayengathandwa ngokuthi ngothandekayo;
Mbuli Lesa ncalambanga mulibuku lya mushinshimi Hosiya, “Abo balikubula kuba bantu bakame, nindibakuweti ‘Bantu bakame.’ Mushobo uyo ngondalikubula kuyanda, nibakabe ‘Bantu mbonsuni.’
26 njalo kuzakuthi, endaweni lapho okwathiwa khona kubo: Kalisibo abantu bami, khona lapho bazabizwa ngokuthi ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
Kayi kumusena uko enkobalambilweti, ‘Ntamwe mushobo wakame,’ Kopeloko ni bakakwiweti ‘Bana ba Lesa muyumi.’”
27 LoIsaya umemeza ngoIsrayeli esithi: Lanxa inani labantwana bakoIsrayeli lingangetshebetshebe lolwandle, insali izasindiswa;
Nendi Yesaya mushinshimi walolobesha pakwamba sha Baislayeli kwambeti, “Nambi Baislayeli bafule eti museya wa ku mulonga, nsombi bang'anowa ebeshi bakapuluke.”
28 ngoba uzaqeda isenzo asiqume ngokulunga; ngoba iNkosi izakwenza isenzo siqunywe ngokuphangisa emhlabeni.
Pakwinga Mwami nakomboloshe milandu ya bantu bonse ba pacishi capanshi, kayi nakense copeleco mwakufwambana.
29 Njalo njengoba uIsaya watsho ngaphambili ukuthi: Uba iNkosi yamabandla ibingasitshiyelanga inzalo, besizakuba njengeSodoma, njalo besizakwenziwa sifanane leGomora.
Ici cili mbuli kayi Yesaya ncalamba kaindi kwambeti, “Mwami wangofu shonse nalabula kutushilako bashikulu nabambi, nshinga nitwalalobeti Sodomu ne Gomola.”
30 Pho sizakuthini? Ukuthi abezizwe abangadingisisi ukulunga, bakubambile ukulunga, ukulunga-ke okungokholo;
Lino ngatwambeconi? Ngatwambeti bantu bamishobo naimbi, abo balikubula kushako mano shakuba balulama pamenso a Lesa, balatambula bululami pakushoma.
31 kodwa uIsrayeli, edingisisa umlayo wokulunga, kawufinyelelanga umlayo wokulunga.
Kakuli Baislayeli abo balikwelesha kuba balulama pamenso a Lesa pakusunga Milawo ya Mose, balalilwa.
32 Ngani? Ngoba kabadingisisanga ngokholo, kodwa ngokungathi ngemisebenzi yomlayo; ngoba bakhubeka elitsheni lokukhubekisa,
Nomba nipacebo cini? Nipacebo cakwambeti balikuyanda kuba bantu balulama pamenso a Lesa, kutamba pakushoma, nsombi pakushoma ncito shaina. Neco balalisuntula pa libwe lyalikulisuntulapo bantu,
33 njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Khangela ngibeka eSiyoni ilitshe lokukhubekisa ledwala lokuwisa; laye wonke okholwa kuye kayikuyangeka.
mbuli Mabala ncalambangeti, “Kamubonani ame ndabikinga mu Siyoni libwe ilyo lyeshi bakalisuntulengaponga bantu. Libwe lyacandanshi ilyo lyeshi likabawishe. Nomba uyo wamushoma nteshakabe ne nsoni.” Sobwe.
