Valumi 10
1 Valongo vangu, mtima wangu winogela neju na kumuyupa kwangu Chapanga, ndi ndava ya vandu va Isilaeli kuvya vasanguliwayi.
Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is for their salvation.
2 Ndava muni nijova vene vakangamili neju kumganisa Chapanga, nambu kangamala yeniyo yijengiwi lepi panani ya umaya wa chakaka.
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to real knowledge.
3 Muni vamanyi lepi ndi Chapanga cheakuvakita vandu vavyayi vabwina palongolo yaki, nambu vene vatumbwili chevaholali, na vakuyilanda lepi njila ya Chapanga ya kuhengewa kuvya vabwina palongolo yaki.
For they, failing to understand God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to God's righteousness.
4 Muni kwa kubwela kwaki Kilisitu, Malagizu gahikili pamwishu waki, muni kila mundu mweakumsadiki Kilisitu akitiwayi kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
Now for everyone who believes into righteousness, Christ is the end of the law
5 Kuuvala kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga mu njila ya kuyidakila Malagizu, Musa ayandiki naha, “Mundu yoyoha mweiyidakila Malagizu yati ivya mumi munjila ya Malagizu genago.”
—Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”
6 Nambu chenichi ndi cheyijovekana kuvalangiwa ubwina palongolo ya Chapanga kwa njila ya sadika ndi iyi. “Ukoto kujikota mumtima waku, yani mweikwela mbaka kunani kwa Chapanga? Muni kumleta Kilisitu pahi pitu.”
But the righteousness that is from faith speaks like this: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down)
7 Amala ukoto kujikota, “Yani mwaihelela mbaka kuligodi langali mwishu? Muni amuyukisa Kilisitu kuhuma kwe vafwili.” (Abyssos g12)
“or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos g12)
8 Nambu Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova naha. “Lilovi la Chapanga livili papipi na veve, livili mumlomo na mumtima waku.” Wenuwo ndi ujumbi wa sadika yetikuyikokosa kwa vandu.
So what does it say? “The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the message of faith that we proclaim):
9 Ngati ukayidakilayi kwa mlomo waku, kuvya Yesu ndi BAMBU, na kusadika kwa mumtima waku kuvya Chapanga amuyukisi Yesu kuhuma mu lifwa, yati usanguliwa.
That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Muni mundu isadika kwa mtima ikitiwa mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga, na kuyidakila kwa mlomo waki ndi isanguliwa.
Because with the heart one believes into righteousness, and with the mouth one promises into salvation.
11 Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Mundu yoyoha mweakumsadika ikola lepi soni.”
Because the Scripture says: “Everyone who believes on Him will never be put to shame”;
12 Lijambu lenili ndi kwa voha, kawaka ulekenganu pagati ya Vayawudi na vangali Vayawudi, muni Chapanga ndi BAMBU wa vandu voha, na mwene ndi mbwina neju kwa vandu voha vevakumuyupa.
because there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call upon Him;
13 Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Mundu yoyoha mweakulikemelela liina la BAMBU, yati isanguliwa.”
because: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 Hinu, yati vakumuyupa wuli mwevangamsadika? Kangi vamusadika wuli yula vanga myuwana ujumbi waki? Na viyuwana wuli ngati kawaka mundu wa kuvakokosela?
How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe on Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone proclaiming it?
15 Vandu vikokosa wuli ngati nakutumwa? Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Ndi lijambu la kusangalusa neju kubwela kwa vala vevikokosa Lilovi La Bwina!”
And how will they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written: “How timely is the arrival of those who bring good news of peace, of those who announce the good things.”
16 Nambu lepi voha vaiyidakili Lilovi La Bwina la Chapanga. Ndava muni Isaya mweavili mlota wa Chapanga ajovili, “BAMBU, ndi yani mweisadika ujumbi witu?”
(However, they did not all obey the gospel; because Isaiah says: “Lord, who has believed our message?”)
17 Ndi, sadika yibwela kwa kuyuwana ujumbi, na ujumbi wenuwo ubwela mu kukokosa Lilovi la Kilisitu.
So, the faith is from a message, and that message is by the Word of God.
18 Nambu nikota, wu vauyuwini lepi ujumbi wenuwo? Ena, kuyuwana vayuwini, ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Lwami lwavi lwayuwaniki pamulima woha, malovi gavi gahikili mbaka pamwishu wa mulima.”
But I say, did they really not hear? Indeed yes: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their spoken words to the ends of the inhabited world.”
19 Nikota kangi, wu yihotoleka kuvya vandu va Isilaeli vamanyili lepi? Chapanga alongolili kujova mu njila ya Musa, “Yati nikuvakita muvya na wihu kwa vandu lepi va mulima. Yati nikuvakita likabila la vandu vayimu, vavamemesa ligoga.”
Again I say, did Israel really not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by a non-nation, I will move you to anger by a senseless nation.”
20 Na Isaya ajovili cha ukekesi malovi aga, “Chapanga ajovili, Vandu vala vanganilonda vaniwene, najilangisi kwa vandu vangakota malovi gangu.”
But Isaiah is so bold as to say: “I was found by those who were not seeking me; I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.”
21 Nambu kuvala vandu va Isilaeli Isaya atijovili tete kuvya, Chapanga ijova, “Muhi woha nivatalambulili chiwoko changu kuvakemela vandu vevibela na vanganiyidakila.”
But concerning Israel he says: “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
