Walumi 10
1 Mwaholo, esebho ezya mwoyo gwane napu tehwane hwa Ngolobhe nihwajili yabhene, ne hwaajili yahwokoshe hwabho.
Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
2 Hwa huje embashuhudila huje bhahwituma hwaajili ya Ngolobhe, lakini sehuje njelezyabho.
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Hwa huje sebhaimenye elyoli ya Ngolobhe, nabhahwanza azije elyoli yabho bhebho. Saga bhahwisyaga hulyoli ya Ngolobhe.
For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 Hwa huje iKilisiti yuyo watimizye isheliya eyelyoli huje omtu wahuposhela.
For Christ is the fulfilment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 Hwa huje uMusa ahwandiha ahusu elyoli eyo ehwenza ashilile ne eshelia: “Umutu wabhomba elyoli mshelia abhakhale hwa lyoli ene.”
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
6 Lakini elyoli yetumilana nashilile olweteho luyanga eshii, “Ogajeyanje humwoyo gwaho, 'Yonanu wabhabhale humwanya?'(Ohu hulete uKilisiti pansi).
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
7 Na ogajeyaje, 'Yonanu abhahwishe mwilende?” (Ane, huleta uKilisiti humwanya afume hwabhafwe). (Abyssos g12)
or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)” (Abyssos g12)
8 Lakini liyanga yenu? “Izu lipapepe nawe, afume mwilomu lyaho na afume humwoyo gwaho.” Elyo lizu elya luseshelo, elyo lya tiliyanga.
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
9 Hwa huje kashile hwilomu lyaho ohweteha oYesu huje Ugosi, na huposhele humwoyo gwaho huje Ongolobhe afyosezye afume hwa abhafye, ubhahwokoshe.
that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Hwa huje humwoyo omuntu ahumweteha napate elyoli, nahwilomu ahweteha napate opute.
For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
11 Hwa huje izu liyanga, “Kila wahuposhela saga abhakenyesewe.”
For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
12 hwa huje naumo olengano nu Yahudi nu Muyunani. Hwa huje Ugosi yoyola Ugosi wa bhoti naweshoma hwa bhoti bhabha hukwizya.
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
13 Hwa huje kila walikwizya itawa elya o Ugosi abhahokoshe.
For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 Hwa huje bhole uwezizye hukwizye ola wasaga mwamweteshe? Bhagakhozya bhole ilibhawezye huposhele nashi oyo sagabhamwovyezye? Na bhezehozye hwoole pasipo uwalumbelele?
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
15 Bhezewezye bhole alumbelele, akashile sebhatumwilwe? - Nashi sagasimbilwe hwa huje owinza wemagaga gabhala bhabhatangazya enogwa enyinza izye mambo aminza!”
And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 Lakini bhoti sagabhatejelezezye amazu. Huje oIsaya ayanga, “Ogosi, yunanu wahovyezye otumwa wetu?”
But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17 Huje ulweteho luhweza afumilane natejezye na hwovye hwizu elya Kilisiti.
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 Lakini eyanga, “Huje sagabhahovyezye?” nalyoli kabisa. “Amazu gabho gamalishe afume hwoze nahunsi yoti, nenogwa zyabho zibhalile paka humwisho gwe dunia.”
But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 Ashile goti, Eyanga, “Huje Abhaisraeli sagabhamenye?” Kwanza uMusa ayanga, “Embabhadizye embabheshele uwivu hwa bhantu bhasaga bhe taifa. Hwidala elitaifa lyasaga lyahwelewe, embabhachochele paka mvitwe.”
But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
20 Nu Isaya anilyomi sana naayanga, “Natangene navala bhasaga bhanazile. Nabhoneshe mhwavala hwa sagabhananzaga.”
Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”
21 Lakini hwa Bhaisraeli bhayanga, “Ensiku zwoti nagolosezye amakhono gane hwa bhasagabhahwiyisizye nahwa bhantu aakhomee.”
But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
