varumi 9
1 nijova isa lweli mwa Kilisite. nanijova uvudesi, uvufumbue vwango vulola palikimo nune mwa Mhepo uMwimike,
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 kuuti ali nulusukunalo lukome nu lulemasio luno nalusiala nkate ja mwoojo ghwake.
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 nale ninoghelua kuuva une nemwene kughunivua na kuseghusivua kutali nu Kilisite vwimila avanyalukolo vango, vala va munyumba jango ku m'bili.
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 aveene ve va Silaeli. vano vali nuvwakuvombeka kuuva vaanha va vwimike vwa lulaghilona matekelo gha ndaghilo, kunfunya uNguluve nu lufingo.
Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 avene ve valongosi vano uKilisite iisile ku vukoola kukughufwala um'bili ughu juno umwene ghwe Nguluve ghwa fyooni. ghwope aghinuaghe kuvusila na kusila. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 neke nakwekuuti ulufingo lwa Nguluve lukunilue kuvombeka. lwakuva na muunhu ghweni juno ali ku Isilaeli ghwe Msilaeli ghweghwene.
Not as though the word of God has taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Ndali nambe ku vuholuo vwa Abulahamu kuuva vaanha vake kyekyene. neke kwe kukilila uIsaka uvuholuo vwako vulikemelua”.
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called.
8 ulu kwekuuti, avaanha va mb'ili na vaanha va va Nguluve. neke avaanha va lufingo vilolelelevua kuuva vaanha va vuholuo.
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 lwakuva ili lye lisio lya lufingo: “mu masiki agha nikwisa, Sala ipelua umwana”
For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 na lye ili lyene, neke uRebeka ye apatile uvukunue kwa muunhu jumo, uIsaka ubaba ghwitu,
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 kuuti avaanha ye navaholilue kange alyakyale kuvomba lyolyoni lila ilinono nambe ilivivi, neke kuuti igila ja Nguluve kuling'ana nu vutavusi lyime, nambe ku maghendele, neke vwimila kwa jula juno ikemhela.
(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls; )
12 jikajovilue kwa mwene kuuti, “umbaha ukum'bombelagha un'debe”.
It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 ndavule jalembilue: “uYakovo nilyamughanile, neke uEsau nankalalagha.
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 pe tutisagha kiki kange? pe kuli nu vuhosi kwa Nguluve? Ndali!
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 ulwakuva ijova kwa Moose, kuuti, Niiva nu lusaghilo kwa jula juno niiva ninsaghile, kange niiva nulusungu kwa jula juno niiva ninsungile”
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 pe lino na kwekuuti kwa jula juno ilonda nambe kwa jula juno ikimbila. neke vwimila Nguluve juno isoona lusaghilo.
So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
17 ulwakuva amalembe ghiti kwa Falao, “mu gila iji jino jinoghile nilyakutosisie, neke kuuti nisone ingufu sango kulyuve, kange neke kuuti ilitavua lyango lipulisivue mu iisi sooni”
For the scripture says to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 pe lino, uNguluve iva nulusaghilo kwa ghwoghwoni juno amughanile, na kwa juno ikumughana, nyamajegho.
Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
19 pe ghuliti kulyune, “kiki nifikughwagha unkole? ghwe veeni juno alyavaghile ku nogheluo saake?
You will say then to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?
20 kinsana kyake, uve veve muunhu muki ghejuno ghukwamula mulwa kupingana nu Nguluve? kuli ningufu sosoni ku kila kino kivumbilue kuuti m'bumbi, “kiki ulyanivumbile une ndiki?”
No but, O man, who are you that reply against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?
21 pe um'bumbi nsila kyang'haani ku lihanga kutenda ikyombo kino kinoghile kya kutumila kuhumilanila ni lihanga lilalila, ni kyombo ikinge ikyakutumila jaatu?
Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?
22 ndani nave uNguluve juno ndeponu ivonesia ing'alasi jake na kuvonesia ingufu jake kukagulika, akikalile ku lugudo lwa kukwila ifikong'hoolo fya ng'alasi fino filyavikilue neke kubuda?
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 ndani nave alyavombile ndiki neke kuuti avonesie uvwinga vwa vwimike vwake kyanya ja fikong'hoolo lusungu, fino alyalinganisie vwimila uvwimike?
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared to glory,
24 ndani ndeve alyavombile ndiki kange kulyusue, juno kange alyatukemelile nakwekuti kuhuma kuvaYahudi vene neke kange kuhuma ku vaanhu ava pa iisi.
Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 ndavule fino ijova kange ku Hosea: nilikuvakemhela avaanhu vango vano navalyale vango, nu mughanike ghwake juno nalyale mughanike.
As he says also in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 kange jiliiva kuuti, pala panojikajovilue kuveene, umue namuli vaanhu vango' pala vilikemhelua vaanha vwa Nguluve juno mwumi”
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 uIsaya ikujililila iIsilaeli, kuuti, “nave imbalilo ja vaanha va Silaeli jale jiva hwene lihanga lwa lisumbe, ghiva ghe masala ghano ghilivangulua
Isaiah also cries concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 ulwakuva uMutwa ilitola ilisio lyake pa iisi, ng'haning'hani na kuvunywilifu.
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make on the earth.
29 nambe pa vwasio ndavule uIsaya alyajovile kuuti, “ndavule uMutwa ghwa valua lilugu nalyatulekile kunsana uvuholuo vwimila jitu twale tuuve hwene Sodoma kange twale tuvombua hwene Gomola.
And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like to Gomorrha.
30 pe tuti kiki lino? kuuti avaanhu ava pa iisi vano navalyale vilonda ikyang'haani, valyapatile ikyang'haani ku lwitiko.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 neke iIsilaeli, juno alyalondagha indaghilo ja kyang'haani naalyajaghile.
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 kiki na uluo? ulwakuva navalyajilondile ku lwitiko, looli ku maghendele. valyakuvile pakyanya pa livue lya kukuvalila,
Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;
33 ndavule dino jilyalembilue, “lola nighonisie ilivue lya kukuvalila ku Sayuni nu mwamba ghwa kukosa. umwene juno ikwitika mu ili nailivona soni.
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offense: and whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
