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 speak the truth in Christ, I do not speak falsely, my conscience bearing me witness, in the Holy Spirit,
2 pantakula kuwera nana maholu makulu na utama nentu mumoyu mwaneni
that I have great grief and unceasing anguish, in my heart,
3 kwa wantu wa isi yaneni! Handa meyiweri kwa mota yawu, mensyaguli kuwera mupangira ya Mlungu na kulekana na Kristu.
for my brethren, --my kinsmen, according to the flesh; (for I also was, myself, wishing to be accursed from Christ: )
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 are the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the rites of 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 from whom the Messiah descended, according to the flesh; who is over all, God blessed forever. 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,
Now, it is not to be supposed that the promise of God has failed; for all the descendants of Israel are not Israel.
7 ama walerwa woseri wa Aburahamu ndo wana wa Mlungu. Mlungu kamgambiriti Aburahamu, “Kupitira Isaka haguweri na shiyiwuku shanukulagiliti.”
Neither are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but "In Isaac shall your seed be called."
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, the children of the flesh are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for seed.
9 Toziya lagilu yeni ndo ayi, “Mushinja shashiza Sara hakapati mwana.”
For the word of promise was this, "According to this time, I will come, and Sarah shall have a son."
10 Na aga goseri ndiri, Rebeka kaweriti na wana wawili wa tati yumu, mbuyi gwetu Isaka.
And not only this, but Rebecca, also, having conceived twins, by one, even 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.
(they, indeed, not being yet born; neither having done any good or evil; that the purpose of God might stand, by an election; not on account of works, but of him who 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 elder shall serve the younger";
13 Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalembwa, “Neni numufira Yakobu, kumbiti numkalalira Esawu.”
as it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have slighted."
14 Hashi, tutakuli shishi? Hashi, Mlungu kankubagula? Ndala!
What shall we, then, say? Is there not injustice with God?
15 Yomberi kamgambiriti Musa, “Hanumwoneri lusungu muntu yoseri yanfira kumwonera lusungu, hanumfiri muntu yoseri yanumfira.”
By no means. For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
16 Galitumbira ndiri ntambu yatufira twenga ama kutenda, kumbiti su goseri galitumbira lusungu lya Mlungu.
So, then, it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs; but of God, who shows 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.”
Besides, the scripture says to Pharaoh, "Even for this same purpose I have roused you up; that I might show, in you, my power; and that my name might be published through all the earth."
18 Mlungu kamwonera lusungu muntu yoseri yakafira na pakafira kamtenda muntu yoseri kuwera mkayidi.
Well, then, he has mercy on whom he will; 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?
But you will say to me, Why does he still find fault, for who has resisted his will?
20 Hashi, ganja gwangu, gwenga gwa gaa gumkosiya Mlungu? Hashi, shiwiga shiweza kumkosiya mnyawa gwakuwi, “Iwera hashi gunyawa ntambu ayi?”
Nay, but, O man, who are you, who reply against God? Shall the thing formed, say to him who formed it, Why have you 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.
Has not the potter a just power over the clay, to make of the same lump one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?
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.
Yet God, willing to show his wrath, and make know his power, did bear, with much long-suffering, the 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, on the 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.
even us, whom he has called; not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.
25 Hangu ndo ntambu yakalonga mushindora sha Hoseya, “Wantu yawawera ndiri waneni Hanuwashemi ‘Wantu waneni.’ Isi yanuyifiriti ndiri Hanuyishemi ‘Mfira gwangu.’
Even as he says, by Hosea, "They shall be called my people, who were not my people; and she beloved, who was not beloved.
26 Palii pawagambiritwi, ‘Mwenga mwa wantu waneni ndiri,’ womberi hawashemwi wana wa Mlungu yakalikala.”
And it shall come to pass, in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people; there they shall 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.
Besides, Isaiah cries, concerning Israel, "Through the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved.
28 Mtuwa hakatendi kanongola kutoza kwakuwi kamilika pasipanu poseri.”
For he was about to complete and hasten his work in righteousness; for a short work will the Lord make upon this land."
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, as Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we should have become as Sodom, and been made like to Gomorrah."
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 shall we say, then, that the Gentiles, who did not seek after justification, have attained justification, even a justification which is by faith?
31 kumbiti Wayawudi, yawasakula malagaliru ga kuwatenda waweri waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu, wapata ndiri.
But Israel, who followed a law of justification, have not attained to a law of justification.
32 Kwa shishi? Toziya walitumbira matendu gawu pa kutumbira njimiru. Su womberi walikwaliti panani pa “libuwi lya kulikwala.”
Why? Because they sought it not by faith; but, as it were, by works of law: for they stumbled, at the stone of stumbling.
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.”
As it is written, "Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whosoever believes on it, shall not be ashamed."
