Romans 9
1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
Ndamwambila kasimpe muliKkilisito. Nsilokubeja pe, amamvwido angu alazuminana andime muMuuya uSalala.
2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
Izyakuti mumoyo wangu mulikuusa kupati akuchisa kutamani.
3 For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
Nkambo ndalikuyanda kwanzanisigwa aKkilisito kuti ndibe mutuke akambo kabakweu, anzubo nzyangu zyamunyama.
4 Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.
Mba Izilayeli. Bakabweza, bulemu, zizuminano, achipo chamulawu, abukombi bwamung'anda yaLeza, azisyomezyo.
5 Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
Bamataata babo chiindi kwakazwa Kkilisto, kwiinda munyama - we kali Leza atala zyoonse. weelede kulumbayizigwa mane kutamani. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
6 Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:
Pele twakamba kuti ijwi lyaleza lyakalewulula. Nkambo boonse balimuIzilayeli te mbanaIzilayeli nchobeni.
7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
Nekuba loonse lunyungu lwaAbbulamu teensi mbana bakwe pe. Pele, muli Ayizeki muyowambwa lunyungu lwakwe.
8 That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede.
Nchikwaambwa kuti, bana banyama teensi mbana baLeza. Pele, bana bachisyomezyo mbawambwa mbuli lunyungu.
9 For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
Nkaambo eli ndijwi lyachisyomezyo: “Mulinchichechi chiindi ndiyosika, elyo Sala uyopegwa mwana.”
10 Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
Teensi mbubo luzutu, Pele alakwe Lebeka wakaba abula bwa mwalumi umwi, taata wesu Ayizeki -
11 For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth)
bana kabatana zyalwa akutana chita chimwi chintu chibotu na chibi, kuti makanze aLeza kwindila mukusala bwiime, kutali akaambo kanchito, pele akaambo kayoyo uyita -
12 It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.
kwakambwa kuli nguw, “Mupati uyosanina munini.”
13 As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.
Mbuli mbukulembedwe: “Jakkobo ndakamuyanda, pele Isawu ndakamusula.”
14 What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
Lino twambe buti? Sa kuli kutalulama kwaLeza? Takwe ziliboobo.
15 For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion.
Mbubobu mbaamba kuli Mozesi, “Njomvwida luse kufumbwa ngunjomvwida luse, njoyetelela kuliyoyo ngunjoyetelela.”
16 So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.
Aboobo tensi akaambo kayoyo uyanda, nekuba akaambo kayoyo uchijan, pele akaambo kaLeza, waluse.
17 For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth.
Mbobu malembe mbawamba kuliFalo akuti, “nchichecho nchindakakubusizya mumakanze akutondezya nguzu zyangu mulinduwe”, kuchitila kuti zina lyangu likambwe munyika yoonse.
18 Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
Mbubo leza ulaluse kulingwayanda akulingwayand, ulamuyumya moyo.
19 Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will?
Uyowamba chakuti kulindime, “Nkaambonzi nachitongawuka? Ngwani ukonzya kukaka makanze akwe?”
20 But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Omwalumi nduweni ukuzyana aLeza? Kulichibumbwa na chaamba kuli sikuchibumba, “Wabonayi! Niwandibumba ayeyi nzila?”
21 Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour?
Anu kuti mubumbi tajisi nguzu kubulongo bwakubumba chimbi chilongo chibotu achimwi chilongo chibi?
22 What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction?
Ani kuti Leza, wayanda kutondezya bukali bwakwe akuti ngunzu zyakwe zizibwe, wakakkazikila zilongo moyo mulamfu kubukali bwakabambilidwe kunyonyona?
23 And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?
Nkutyeni nayanda kuzubula buvubi bwabulemu bwakwe kuzilongo zyaluse, nzyakambilide kale bulemu bwakwe kuzilongo zyaluse, nzyakambilide kale bulemu?
24 Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,
Ani kuti wachita obu akulindiswe, mbakayita, akati kamaJuda abamasi?
25 As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued.
Mbubonya mbwaamba muiHosiya kuti: “Njoyita bantu bangu bakatali bantu bangu pe, akuyanda wakatali kuyandwa.
26 And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God.
Mpawo oko nkubakambilwa kuti, ' tamwensi bantu bangu; oko nkubayoyitwa kuti mbana baLeza muumi.'”
27 Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued.
Ayizaya ulalila atala a Izilayeli, “Nekuba kumweele wabana ba Isilayeli nkubali mbuli musele wamulwizi, kuyoba kabela kabache bayofutulwa.
28 For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
Nkaambo Mwami uyochita makanze ajwi lyakwe munyika chakumanisizya achakunonoka.
29 And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha.
Akwambwa kwa Ayizaya kuti, “Mwami wamakamu - makamu tatusila lunyungu, netwali kunoba mbuli Sodomu, akuba mbuliGomola.”
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.
Lino nkutyeni, Bamasi, bakatali kuyandula bululami, bakabujana bululami bwalusyomo.
31 But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.
Pele Isilayeli, walikuyandula mulawu wabululami, takwe nebakasika kumulawu.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone,
Nkaambonzi? Nkaambo tebakayandula chalusyomo, pele kumilomo yabo. Bakalebwa kuzwa kubbwe lyakabalebya.
33 As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
Mbuli mbukulembedwe, “Amubone, ndasitikizya muZayoni ibbwe lilebya amwala wamilandu. Oyo umusyoma takoyowusigwa bweme”
