varumi 11
1 pe niti, neke uNguluve alyavakanile avaanhu vake? nambe padebe. ulwakuva najune kange nili mwiSilaeli ghwa kikolo kya Abulahamu, ghwa kikolo kya Benyamini.
I ask then, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 UNguluve nalyavakanile avaanhu vake, vano alyavamanyile kuhuma mu vwandilo. pe namukagula ililembe liti kiki kuhusu uEliya, ndavule alyansumile uNguluve kyanya ja Silaeli?
God did not reject his people, which he foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
3 Ntua vabudile avavili vako vope vanyemwile ilitekelo lyako. nijighe ene ne mwene, vope vinoghua uvwumi vwango”.
"Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
4 neke ulwamulo lwa Nguluve luti kiki kuveene? “nivike vwimila jango avaanhu imbilima lekela lubale vano navikumfughamila uBaali”.
But how does God answer him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand people, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
5 nambe lino unsiki ughu ghwa lino kange kwevale vano vasighile vwimila vusalusi vwa vumosi.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 neke nave vwe vumosi, sio kange kumaghendele,
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.
7 pe kiki? imbombo jino uIsilaeli alyale ilonda nakakyaghile looli havakemelua vakakyagha, navange vakaponesevua uvusito.
What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
8 ndavule jilyalembilue: “'uNguluve avapelile umwoojo ghwa ghano naghilila neke valekaghe kulola, ni mbughulutu neke navangapulikaghe kuhanga umusyughi iji.”
According as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.
9 ghwope uDavidi iti, “leka imesa save sive vwafu, lutengo, lubale lwa kukuvala, na kuhombekesia uluhombo kuvene.
David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
10 leka aamaso ghaponekesivue ing'iisi neke vakunue kulola. ukaghaghunamisie amasana ghave ifighono fyoni”
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and their backs be bent continually."
11 pe nijova, “pe vakuvile nambe kughua?” nalungavisaghe nahele ifighono fyoni. pepano kwa kukunua kuveene, uvuvangi vufikile ku iisi, neke vavuo vaponekesivue uvwifu
I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Absolutely not. But by their fall salvation has come to the non-Jews, to provoke them to jealousy.
12 lino nave kukunua kwave vwe vumofu vwa iisi, pe kalingi pwevuli uvukamilifu kwave kukila.
Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the non-Jews; how much more their fullness?
13 na lino nijova numue mwevaanhu va pa iisi. ulwakuva muli vasung'ua va vaanhu va iisi isinge, nikujighinia mu mbombole jango inofu.
For I speak to you who are the non-Jews. Since then as I am an apostle to the non-Jews, I glorify my ministry;
14 ndeponu nikuvaponia uvwifu ku vano valim'bili ghumo nune. pamo ndeponu tukuvapoka vamonga.
if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 ulwakuva nave kukanilua kwave ghe mapuling'ano gha pa iisi, pe luvisagha ndani kukwupilua kwave, looli vwumi kuhuma ku vafue?
For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
16 nave imheke isa kwanda sa kuvikilisia, pe jilivuo inonge ja vutine. nave ghuvikilisia amalela na gha matafi vulevule.
If the first part is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 neke nave amatafi ghadumulivue ndavule uve, ilitafi lya museituni ghukavwalilue mu vamonga, nave ulyavombile palikimo na vavo mu malela gha vumofu vwa mseituni,
But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree;
18 nungajighiniaghe ku matafi neke nave ghukughinia na veve ghwejuno ghukughatanga amalela, looli amalela ghikukutanga uve.
do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
19 pe ghuliti, “amatafi ghakadumulivue neke nipate uvwalua mu limela”.
You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
20 lino pe lweli vwimila kuleka kukwitika kwave vakadumulivue, neke uve ukimile ku lukangafu lwa lwitiko lwako. nungajisaghile juve ghwemwene mu lywa kwighinia kyongo, looli oghopagha.
True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
21 ulwakuva nave uNguluve nakaghalekila amatafi gha vutengulilo kange nailikusaghila najuve.
for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
22 lola himbe amaghendele amaagholofu nu vukali vwa Nguluve. ku lubale lumo, uvukali vulyisile kyanya ja vaYahudi vano valyaghwile. neke kulubale ulunge uvugholofu vwa Nguluve vukwisa kulyuve, nave ghukukala mu vugholofu vwake. nave na uluo najuve vikukubudila kutali.
See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
23 nave avene navighendelela kuleka kukwitika vivyalilila kange. ulwakuva uNguluve aliningufu sa kuvwavyala kange.
They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 ulwakuva nave umue mukadumulivue kunji ndavule umseituni ghwa mulisoli ughwa muvutengulilo, pe kusyetuka na kuvyalua mumseituni ghuno nono, nakwekukila kyongo ava Yahudi, vano hwene matafi gha muvutengulilo ghano ndeponu ghivwalua kange nkate ja mseituni gwave vene?
For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 ulwakuva vanyalukolo nanilonda muleke kukagula sino sifisime neke kuuti namungavisaghe vakoola kwa kusagha kwinu jumue. ulufiso ulu kwe kuuti ulutalamu luhumile ku Isilaeli kuhanga kukamilika kwa iisi kyale kwisile.
For I do not desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the non-Jews has come in,
26 lino avasilarli voni vilipokua ndavule jalembilue, “kuhuma ku saYuni ilikwisa uMpoki ivusia uvuhosi kuhuma ku Yakovo.
and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 nili liiva lipuling'ano palikimo navo, unsiki ghuno kyale nikusivusia isambi save”.
This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
28 ku lubale lumo kujova isa livangili vwimila jinu. ku lubale ulunge kuhumilanila nu vutavusi vwa Nguluve, vaghanilue vwimila avaghogholo,
Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake.
29 ulwakuva ilitekelo nuvukemelo lwa Nguluve nalubadilika.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30 ulwakuva muvwasio umue mulyamuhokile uNguluve, neke lino mwupile ulusungu vwimila uvuhosi kwave.
For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
31 ku sila jijijio lino avayahudi ava vahokile. amahumile ghake kwekuuti kuhumila mulusungu luno mulyapelilue umue ndeponu kange mukwupila ulusungu,
even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may now also obtain mercy.
32 ulwakuva uNguluve avapinyile avaanhu vooni ku vuhosi neke awesie kukuvasaghila voni. (eleēsē g1653)
For God has bound everyone over to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 ndavule silivuo mbaha uvomofu nu vukoola nu luhala lwa Nguluve! nasiloleka inyigho sake na kusila sa mwene nasiloleka!
Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God. How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out.
34 ulwakuva ghwe veni juno ikagula uvufumbue vwa Mutwa? nambe ghwe veni umuvungi ghwake?
For "Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
35 neke ghweveni juno ampelile kimonga uNguluve, neke ahombue kange?
"Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
