KwabaseRoma 9
1 Ngikhuluma iqiniso kuKristu, kangiqambi manga, isazela sami sifakazelana lami ngoMoya oNgcwele,
Mereka nokorɛ sɛ Kristoni, na mʼahonim a Honhom Kronkron di no adanseɛ kyerɛ me sɛ menni atorɔ.
2 ukuthi ngilokudabuka okukhulu, lobuhlungu obungapheliyo enhliziyweni yami.
Medi awerɛhoɔ na mete daa yea wɔ me akoma mu ma me nkurɔfoɔ.
3 Ngoba ngingafisa ukuthi mina uqobo ngiqalekiswe kuKristu ngenxa yabazalwane bami, izihlobo zami ngokwenyama;
Wɔn enti anka mepɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn nnome ba me so na ɔte me firi Kristo ho.
4 abangamaIsrayeli, okungokwabo ukuma kwabantwana, lenkazimulo, lezivumelwano, lokunikwa komlayo, lenkonzo kaNkulunkulu, lezithembiso,
Wɔyɛ Onyankopɔn manfoɔ a wɔayi wɔn de wɔn ayɛ ne mma de wɔn asane atena nʼanimuonyam mu. Ɔne wɔn yɛɛ apam no na ɔde mmara no maa wɔn; ɔkyerɛɛ ɛkwan pa a wɔfa so som ma wɔn nsa kaa bɔhyɛ no.
5 abangababo obaba, njalo avela kubo uKristu ngokwenyama, ophezu kwakho konke, uNkulunkulu obongekayo kuze kube nininini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
Wɔyɛ tete agyanom asefoɔ, na ɛsiane sɛ Kristo baa onipasu mu enti, ɔyɛ wɔn aseni. Ayɛyie nka Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ adeɛ nyinaa so otumfoɔ no daadaa. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Kodwa kakunjengokuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lehlulekile. Ngoba kakusibo bonke abavela kuIsrayeli, abanguIsrayeli;
Mennka sɛ Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ no amma mu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnyɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa na Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn sɛ ne manfoɔ.
7 njalo kungesikuthi ngoba bayinzalo kaAbrahama, bonke bangabantwana; kodwa: NgoIsaka inzalo izabizelwa kuwe.
Saa ara nso na ɛnyɛ Abraham asefoɔ nyinaa na wɔyɛ Onyankopɔn mma. Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Ɛnam Isak so na wʼase bɛtrɛ.”
8 Lokhu kutsho ukuthi, kakusibo abantwana benyama, bona bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu; kodwa abantwana besithembiso bathiwa yinzalo.
Yei kyerɛ sɛ ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ Abraham mma, na mmom, wɔn a wɔnam Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ so woo wɔn no na wɔyɛ Abraham asefoɔ turodoo.
9 Ngoba ilizwi lesithembiso yileli elokuthi: Ngalesisikhathi ngizafika, njalo uSara uzakuba lendodana.
Onyankopɔn nam saa bɔhyɛ nsɛm a ɛka sɛ, “Ampa ara, mɛsane aba wo nkyɛn bio ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu no, na wo yere Sara awo ɔba” no so na ɛhyɛɛ saa bɔ no.
10 Kakusikho lokhu kuphela, kodwa loRebeka esekhulelwe ngomunye, ubaba wethu uIsaka;
Ɛnyɛ yei nko. Rebeka mma baanu no nyinaa firi agya korɔ a ɔne yɛn agya Isak.
11 ngoba abantwana bengakazalwa, bengakenzi okuhle loba okubi, ukuze icebo likaNkulunkulu elingokokukhetha lime, kungaveli emisebenzini, kodwa kuvele kobizayo,
Na sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn nam ɔba baako so bɛma ne pɛ ada adi no enti,
12 kwatshiwo kuye ukuthi: Omkhulu uzakhonza omncinyane,
ɔka kyerɛɛ Rebeka sɛ, “Ɔpanin no bɛsom akumaa no.” Ɔkaa yei ansa na ɔrewo wɔn ama wɔayɛ papa anaa bɔne. Enti, na Onyankopɔn pɛ no gyina ne frɛ a ɔfrɛɛ wɔn no so, na ɛnyɛ wɔn nneyɛeɛ so,
13 njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: UJakobe ngamthanda, kodwa uEsawu ngamzonda.
sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Medɔɔ Yakob na metanee Esau” no.
14 Pho-ke sizakuthini? Kukhona ukungalungi kuNkulunkulu yini? Phinde!
Afei, asɛm bɛn na yɛbɛka? Sɛ Onyankopɔn nyɛ ɔnokwafoɔ anaa? Dabi!
15 Ngoba uthi kuMozisi: Ngizakuba lomusa kwengilomusa kuye, njalo ngimhawukele engimhawukelayo.
Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Deɛ mepɛ sɛ mehunu no mmɔbɔ no, mɛhunu no mmɔbɔ, na deɛ mepɛ sɛ meyɛ no adɔeɛ nso, mɛyɛ no adɔeɛ.”
16 Ngakho kakusikho kothandayo, njalo kakusikho kogijimayo, kodwa ngokukaNkulunkulu olesihawu.
Yei kyerɛ sɛ, ɛnnyina deɛ obi pɛ so anaa ne nnwuma so, na mmom ɛgyina Onyankopɔn ahummɔborɔ so.
17 Ngoba umbhalo uthi kuFaro: Ngakuphakamisela khona lokho, ukuze ngibonakalise amandla ami ngawe, njalo ukuze ibizo lami litshunyayelwe emhlabeni wonke.
Atwerɛsɛm no mu, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Farao sɛ, “Yei ara enti na mesii wo ɔhene nam so daa me tumi adi, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, me tumi bɛda adi wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa.”
18 Ngakho uhawukela lowo athanda ukumhawukela; njalo amenze abe lukhuni lowo athanda ukumenza lukhuni.
Ɛnneɛ Onyankopɔn hunu deɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhunu no mmɔbɔ biara no mmɔbɔ, na deɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔma no yɛ asoɔden nso ɔma no yɛ saa.
19 Ngakho uzakuthi kimi: Usasolelani? Ngoba ngubani ongamelana lentando yakhe?
Afei, obi bɛbisa sɛ, “Sɛ yɛntumi nsi Onyankopɔn pɛ ho ɛkwan a, adɛn enti na ɔbɔ yɛn soboɔ?”
20 Hatshi bo, wena muntu, ungubani wena ophikisana loNkulunkulu? Okubunjiweyo kungatsho yini kowakubumbayo ukuthi: Wangenzelani ngabanje?
Onua, wone hwan a wobɛtumi akasa akyerɛ Onyankopɔn? Kukuo mmisa ne nwomfoɔ sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wonwonoo me sei?”
21 Kumbe umbumbi kalagunya yini phezu kwebumba, ukuthi ngesigaqa sisinye enze isitsha esinye esihloniphekayo, lesinye esingahloniphekiyo?
Ɔnwomfoɔ no wɔ ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔde dɔteɛ no nwono deɛ ɔpɛ biara. Ɔtumi nwono nkukuo mmienu firi dɔteɛ mu, na ɔde mu baako adi dwuma titire bi, na ɔde baako no nso ayɛ deɛ ɔpɛ biara.
22 Njalo uba uNkulunkulu ethanda ukubonakalisa ulaka lwakhe, lokwazisa amandla akhe, wathwala ngokubekezela okukhulu izitsha zolaka ezilungiselwe ukubhujiswa;
Saa ara na adeɛ biara a Onyankopɔn ayɛ no teɛ. Ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔda nʼabufuo adi na ɔma wɔhunu ne tumi. Nanso ɔtɔɔ ne bo ase maa wɔn a anka ɔfiri nʼabufuhyeɛ mu rebɛsɛe wɔn.
23 njalo ukuze azise inotho yenkazimulo yakhe phezu kwezitsha zomusa, ayezilungisele ngaphambili inkazimulo,
Ɔyɛɛ yei de kyerɛɛ sɛdeɛ nʼanimuonyam no teɛ, ɛberɛ a ɔnyaa ayamhyehyeɛ maa wɔn a wayi wɔn dada sɛ wɔmmɛyɛ nʼanimuonyam no fafafoɔ.
24 ngitsho thina, asibizileyo, kungeyisikho kumaJuda kuphela, kodwa lakwabezizwe?
Ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔfrɛɛ wɔn firii Yudafoɔ mu nkoa, na mmom, amanamanmufoɔ nso.
25 Njengalokhu akutsho lakuHoseya: Abangeyisibo abantu bami ngizababiza ngokuthi ngabantu bami; lowayengathandwa ngokuthi ngothandekayo;
Wɔka wɔ Hosea nwoma mu sɛ, “Mɛfrɛ wɔn a wɔnyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ no ‘me nkurɔfoɔ’, na deɛ ɔnyɛ me dɔfoɔ no mɛfrɛ no ‘me dɔfoɔ,’”
26 njalo kuzakuthi, endaweni lapho okwathiwa khona kubo: Kalisibo abantu bami, khona lapho bazabizwa ngokuthi ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
na “Beaeɛ korɔ no ara a wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Monnyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ’ no, ɛhɔ ara na wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn sɛ ‘Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no mma.’”
27 LoIsaya umemeza ngoIsrayeli esithi: Lanxa inani labantwana bakoIsrayeli lingangetshebetshebe lolwandle, insali izasindiswa;
Na Yesaia dii Israelfoɔ ho yea sɛ, “Sɛ Israelfoɔ dɔɔso sɛ mpoano anwea mpo a, wɔn mu kakra bi na wɔbɛgye wɔn nkwa.
28 ngoba uzaqeda isenzo asiqume ngokulunga; ngoba iNkosi izakwenza isenzo siqunywe ngokuphangisa emhlabeni.
Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade bɛyɛ ntɛm, na sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ biara, ɔbɛyɛ deɛ wabɔ ho kɔkɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ wɔ asase so no.”
29 Njalo njengoba uIsaya watsho ngaphambili ukuthi: Uba iNkosi yamabandla ibingasitshiyelanga inzalo, besizakuba njengeSodoma, njalo besizakwenziwa sifanane leGomora.
Yesaia nso kaa sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade Otumfoɔ no annya yɛn asefoɔ a, anka yɛayɛ sɛ Sodom, na yɛadane ayɛ sɛ Gomora.”
30 Pho sizakuthini? Ukuthi abezizwe abangadingisisi ukulunga, bakubambile ukulunga, ukulunga-ke okungokholo;
Afei, asɛm bɛn na yɛbɛka bio? Yɛbɛka sɛ amanamanmufoɔ a wɔanhwehwɛ tenenee akyiri kwan no nam gyidie so yɛɛ ateneneefoɔ;
31 kodwa uIsrayeli, edingisisa umlayo wokulunga, kawufinyelelanga umlayo wokulunga.
Nanso, Israelfoɔ a wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔnam mmara so die so bɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani no mpo, Onyankopɔn annye wɔn anto mu.
32 Ngani? Ngoba kabadingisisanga ngokholo, kodwa ngokungathi ngemisebenzi yomlayo; ngoba bakhubeka elitsheni lokukhubekisa,
Adɛn enti na ɛbaa saa? Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔnam mmara so die so sɔ Onyankopɔn ani, nanso, mmom anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔnya gyidie wɔ Onyankopɔn mu. Wɔsuntii “suntiboɔ” no.
33 njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Khangela ngibeka eSiyoni ilitshe lokukhubekisa ledwala lokuwisa; laye wonke okholwa kuye kayikuyangeka.
Sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “Hwɛ, Mede ɛboɔ a ɛma nnipa sunti ato Sion ne ɔbotan a ɛma wɔhwe ase, na deɛ ɔde ne ho to no soɔ no anim rengu ase da.”
