Warumi 9
1 Neni ntakula nakaka hera, neni wera gwa Kristu na hapeni nzyangi. Mahala ganeni galongoziwa na Rohu Mnanagala, viraa gawera ukapitawu kuwera nakaka neni nzyanga ndiri
I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,
2 pantakula kuwera nana maholu makulu na utama nentu mumoyu mwaneni
that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,
3 kwa wantu wa isi yaneni! Handa meyiweri kwa mota yawu, mensyaguli kuwera mupangira ya Mlungu na kulekana na Kristu.
for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;
4 Womberi ndo wantu wa Israeli, yomberi kawatenditi womberi waweri wana wakuwi na kawagubutuliti ukwisa wakuwi na katenditi lipatanu lyakuwi na womberi na kuwapanani Lilagaliru lya Musa, womberi wamguwiri nakaka na wawankiti lagilu lya Mlungu.
who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;
5 Womberi wawera washiyiwuku kulawa kwa wazewi yawamanikana na Kristu munshimba yakuwi kalawa muukowu wawu. Ukwisa uweri kwa Mlungu yakakolamlima muvyoseri mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (aiōn g165)
whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Neni ntakula ndiri kuwera Mlungu kaweza ndiri kutenda ntambu yakalonga, toziya hapeni tulongi kuwera wantu woseri wa Israeli ndo wantu wa Mlungu,
Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel;
7 ama walerwa woseri wa Aburahamu ndo wana wa Mlungu. Mlungu kamgambiriti Aburahamu, “Kupitira Isaka haguweri na shiyiwuku shanukulagiliti.”
nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
8 Kwa njira yamonga kulonga, wana woseri ndiri yawamshemiti Aburahamu “Tati” waweriti wana wa Mlungu, kumbiti wana wa lagilu hera ndo washemitwi wana wa Aburahamu.
That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.
9 Toziya lagilu yeni ndo ayi, “Mushinja shashiza Sara hakapati mwana.”
For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
10 Na aga goseri ndiri, Rebeka kaweriti na wana wawili wa tati yumu, mbuyi gwetu Isaka.
And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father,
11 Katakuliti aga pamberi kwiwuka kwa womberi, womberi pamberi hawenitendi shoseri shiherepa ama shidoda, su usyagula wa Mlungu uwusu ushema wakuwi na kwahera shoseri shawatenditi womberi.
[the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),
12 Kumbiti usyagula wa mwana yumu kuweriti malawiranu kamili ga mpangu gwa Mlungu mweni, Mlungu kamgambiriti mdala ulii, “Mkulu hakamtenderi mpusu.”
it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less:
13 Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalembwa, “Neni numufira Yakobu, kumbiti numkalalira Esawu.”
according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.
14 Hashi, tutakuli shishi? Hashi, Mlungu kankubagula? Ndala!
What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.
15 Yomberi kamgambiriti Musa, “Hanumwoneri lusungu muntu yoseri yanfira kumwonera lusungu, hanumfiri muntu yoseri yanumfira.”
For he says to Moses, I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy, and I will feel compassion for whom I will feel compassion.
16 Galitumbira ndiri ntambu yatufira twenga ama kutenda, kumbiti su goseri galitumbira lusungu lya Mlungu.
So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.
17 Malembu Mananagala galonga hangu kwa Farawu mfalumi gwa Misri, “Nukutenda gwenga guweri mfalumi su kukutumiya gwenga kulanguziya makakala gangu na kutenda litawu lyangu limanikani pasipanu poseri.”
For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst [men], that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth.
18 Mlungu kamwonera lusungu muntu yoseri yakafira na pakafira kamtenda muntu yoseri kuwera mkayidi.
So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
19 Kumbiti yumu gwenu hakankosiyi neni, Hashi, vitwatira paviwera hangu, Mlungu kaweza hashi kumlawumu muntu? Hashi, gaa yakaweza kugadiwira mafiliru ga Mlungu?
Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose?
20 Hashi, ganja gwangu, gwenga gwa gaa gumkosiya Mlungu? Hashi, shiwiga shiweza kumkosiya mnyawa gwakuwi, “Iwera hashi gunyawa ntambu ayi?”
Aye, but thou, O man, who art thou that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Mnyawa shiwiga kaweza kugutendera ukaka ntambu yakafira mweni na kuvinyawa viwiga viwili kwa ukaka ulaa ulii, shimu kwa matenderu ga ligoya na shimonga kwa matenderu ga ntambu irahayi.
Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
22 Hangu ndo ntambu yayiwera nakaka kwa Mlungu. Yomberi kafiriti kulanguziya maya gakuwi na kutenda makakala gakuwi gamanikani. Kumbiti yomberi ndo muhepelera kwa walii yawaweriti lengu lya azabu yakuwi, walii yawafiruwitwi kuharabisiwa.
And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;
23 Yomberi kafiriti kugubutula ulunda wa ukwisa wakuwi, yakatumiminiriti twenga yatuweriti lengu lya lusungu lwakuwi, twenga walii yakatutandiriti kala kuwanka ukwisa wakuwi.
and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
24 Twenga twawantu yawashemitwi, twenga tulawa ndiri pakati pa Wayawudi kumbiti viraa kulawa pakati pa wantu yawawera Wayawudi ndiri.
us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations?
25 Hangu ndo ntambu yakalonga mushindora sha Hoseya, “Wantu yawawera ndiri waneni Hanuwashemi ‘Wantu waneni.’ Isi yanuyifiriti ndiri Hanuyishemi ‘Mfira gwangu.’
As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved.
26 Palii pawagambiritwi, ‘Mwenga mwa wantu waneni ndiri,’ womberi hawashemwi wana wa Mlungu yakalikala.”
And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people, there shall they be called Sons of [the] living God.
27 Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu kankubota kuusu Israeli, “Ata handa wantu wa Israeli wawera wavuwa gambira muhanga gwa kumpwani, wavuwa ndiri ndo hawalopoziwi.
But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:
28 Mtuwa hakatendi kanongola kutoza kwakuwi kamilika pasipanu poseri.”
for [he] is bringing the matter to an end, and [cutting [it] short in righteousness; because] a cutting short of the matter will [the] Lord accomplish upon the earth.
29 Ndo gambira pakatakuliti Isaya pamberi, “Handa Mtuwa yakawera na uwezu metulekiriti twenga shiyiwuku wamu, metwizi kuwera gambira lushi lwa Sodoma, metuweri gambira lushi lwa Gomora.”
And according as Esaias said before, Unless [the] Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha.
30 Su twenga tutakula kuwera wantu yawawera wayawudi ndiri, yawalitenda ndiri weni kuwera waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu kupitira ugangamala wawu weni, womberi wawera waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu kupitira njimiru,
What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith.
31 kumbiti Wayawudi, yawasakula malagaliru ga kuwatenda waweri waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu, wapata ndiri.
But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law.
32 Kwa shishi? Toziya walitumbira matendu gawu pa kutumbira njimiru. Su womberi walikwaliti panani pa “libuwi lya kulikwala.”
Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,
33 Ntambu Malembu Mnanagala galonga, “Guloli, hantuli aku Sayuni libuwi lya kuwatenda wantu walikwali, Litalawu haliwatendi wantu waguwi. Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakamjimira yomberi hapeni kasoniziwi.”
according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
