Walumi 9
1 Eyanga elyoli hwa Kilisiti. Seyangailenga, humwoyo gwene eshudila pandwemo nane hwidala Opepo Ofinjile,
I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
2 huje huli azugumile ohogosi abhawe hwa saga humaliha muhati yemwoyo gwane.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
3 Nezagazilishe ane nemwene alogwe abhehwe hutali nu Kilisiti huje aholo bhane, bhala abheshikholo shane ashilile obele.
For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
4 Abhene bha Israeli. Bhabhehwelwe huje bhana, abhe tufiwe ayangane, ezawadi eya logwe, hupute Ongolobhe, na malagano.
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
5 Ebhene bhabhatagalizizye ohwo Kilisiti ahenzele enshinshi akwate obele oguu - huje oyo uo Ngolobhe wa bhoti. Wope ayeme hwaje wilawila. Amina. (aiōn g165)
of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Sehuje amalagano ga Ngolobhe hujezikunilwe afishe. Sehuje kila mutu wali Israeli nasebha Israeli bhebho.
But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
7 Sehuje bhoti bhali bhana bha Abulahamu huje bhali bhana bhakwe bhebho. Lakini, “naashilile u Isaka abhana bhaho waikwiziwa.”
Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
8 Hweli hwahuje, abhana abha mbele sagabhana bha Ngolobhe. Lakini abhana abhe ahadi bhahwenyezewa huje ebha ndabhana.
That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
9 Elilizuu elyahadi: “Nane majira ego naye hweza, nu Sala aipata omwana.”
For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
10 Sagalyalyeli tu, lakini pamaade u Lebeka abhapate evyanda hwa mtu omo, o Isaka udaada wetu-
Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
11 hwahuje abhana bhali nsele apapwe na alibado abhombe ijambo lyolyonti elinza au ibhibhi, huje ikusudi elya Ngolobhe alengane nachagule lyemelele, wala sehuje humiza, lakini sehwahuje yola wahukwizya.
For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
12 Lyayagwilwe huje, “Ogosi abhahutumishile ododo.”
it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
13 Nashi sashili huje lyahandihwe: “U Yakobo nagene, lakini u Esau navitilwe.”
Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 Hwa huje tiyanje yenu? Huje lihweli ilenga hwa Ngolobhe? Huje dadi
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
15 Hwa huje eyaanga ahusu oMusa, “embabhe neisajilo hula wembahusajile, na ebhabhe ne sajilo hwola wembahusajile.”
For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16 Hwa huje bhasi, saga yuyo oyo wabhahwanze, wala sagayuyo oyo wanyila, lakini hwa huje yu Ngolobhe, hwa huje abhonesha asajile.
So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
17 Hwa huje aamazu gayanga hwa Falao, “Hwa huje ega goti galinsini ambuinule, huje ebhoneshe aguvu zyane ashilile wewe, nahuje iitawa lyane lirumbelelwe ensi yoti.”
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
18 Huje bhasi, Ongolobhe abhane sajilohwa wowoti wagene, nahwola wahugana, ahubheha abhe hali.
So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
19 Nantele ubhayanje hwalini, “Yenu alola ikosa? Yo lihu wagamalile agajimbile amambo gakwe?”
You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
20 Ahosi yakwe, omwanadamu, awewe nanu woyanga kinyume nu Ngolobhe? Huhweli aweze hane lyolyoti lya hahabhombelwe hayanga hwula wahabhombele, “Huje yenu wambombele eshi ane?”
But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
21 Je wabhomba sagali nehaki hwilongo elyaleganyizye evyombo humatumizi gega hweli afumilane nuvilima ulaula, ne shombo esha mwabho shibha na matumizi kila siku?
Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honour, and another for dishonour?
22 Wole nashi Ongolobhe, umwene alitayali wabhonesye enkuni yakwe naabhombe amaha gakwe amanyishe, ajimbile navumilile huiye evyombo evya enkumi vyevibhehwelwe kwajili ya goje?
What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
23 Woole nkashile abhombile enga abhonesye ohwinji we utukufu wakwe hu vyombo evya rehema, avibeshele tayali kwajili yeutukufu?
and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
24 Wole kashile abhombile eli, je hulitu, hwa huje nate alitwizizye sagahuje afume Wayahudi, nantele afume nahwa bhantu bha Mataifa?
us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
25 Nashi sayanga mwa Oseya: “Embabhakwizye abhantu bhane bhabhali saga bhantu bhane, nuula wagene natele nuula wasaga agenwe.
As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
26 Na abhabhe huje pala palyayagwilwe hwa bhene, 'amwesagamlibhantu bhane,' pala bhezekwiziwe 'abhana bha Ngolobhe wali mwomi.”'
“It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”
27 O Isaya alila ashilile nebha Israeli, “Huje abhazye abhana bha Israeli engelinashi usanga gwa mbahali, ebabhe nashi bhebhasageye bhazabhe nashi bhabhahwokolewe.
Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
28 Hwa huje Ogosi abhahweje izuu lyakwe hwumwanya na pansi, sasele nahwa utimilifu.
for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
29 Nashi oIsaya sayanjile ehale, “Nashi Ogosi owemanjeshi sagatilesheye akhosi ouzao kwaajili yaliti, angatili nashi e Sodoma, nangatibhombilwe nashi e Gomora.
As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
30 Tibhayanje genu lelo? huje abhantu abhe Mataifa huje bhahali sagabhahwanza elyoli bhapente elyoli, elyoli huimani.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
31 Lakini abha Israeli, bhahazile ikalata elyelyoli, sagayiifishie.
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
32 Yenu yalyesho? Hwa huje sagabhaiyazile huimani, bali huu matendo. Wabomele pamwanya yiwee na bhabomelee,
Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33 nashi seyagwilwe enyenye, endigonizye iee elya abomelee, hu Sayuni nahuje owakose. Omwene wahuposhela hwelii sagabhakenyesewe.
even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offence; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
