Romans 11
1 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Bai nilongela, buli, Nnongo atikwa kana bandu boti? hata pasene mana nanenga na Muisreal wa lukolo lwa Ibrahimu wa kabila ya Benyamini.
2 God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
Nnongo hakanikwa bandu bake, batangite buka samani, je? mutangite kwa liandiko likoya buli usu jyo Eliya, jinsi mwampembelike Nnongo kuhusu Israel?
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
Nngwana babulige kinabii bako, na batibomwa madhabau gako. Nenga kiyango ngani igalile, na bembe bapala bwomi wango.”
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Na lijibu lya nnongo likoya buli kayako?”nitebeka kwaajili yango bandu elfu saba babakotoka kunkilikitya Baali”.
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Nga ata nyoo, masiku yeno babile baba igalile sabato ya sawo wa uruma.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
Lakini mana ibii kwa uruma, twenga le kupendelwa. kichongo chanyo uruma yabakai uruma.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Namani kae basi? likowe ambalo Israel abile kalipala aina kipata kwa alababa cahaulilwe ngabakipatike, na benge bayejilwe lubendo.
8 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.”
Nakati mwaiandikikilwe, Nnongo apei mwoyo wo pwindala, minyo lenga kene balole na masikio kene bayowe, mpaka lino.
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
Nembe Daudi enda baya, “wileke meza yabe ibe lupelele, ntego, pandu pokubala, na poleya kisase sabe.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
Waleke minyo gembe gambe na lubendo linga kene babone ukapindeya migonga sayote”
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
Bai nenda longela, je/bakobile mpatulapai? kana ibenyo, badala yake, kwoshindwa kwabe wokovuwikite kwa amataifa, lenga bene kwa yeya bwingu.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
Mana itei shindwa kwabe kasabe utajiri wa Dunia na mana hasara yabe utajili wa mataifa, wikiasi gani zaidi yaba ukamilifu kasabe.
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
Na saa yino nalonngela na mwenga bandu ba mataifa kwa sababu ni bii mtume wa mataifa ngenge nipuniya uduma yango.
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
Lakini mbala kwa yeya bwigu baba bile yega jino na nenga kwale tulowa kwalopwa baadhi yabe.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Mana kanilwa kwabe ni ridhiana na Dunia pokelelwa kwabe kwalowa isa bili ila bwomi buka mu kiwo?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Mana matunda ga kwanza akiba, ngamwebile kwa litongi lya bwembe mana ndandai akiba, ndambi nembe kazalika.
17 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 root and of the richness of the olive tree,
Lakini mana itei badhi ya ndambi itikatibwa kati wenga, lutambe mwitu lwa mzeituni, lwati pandikiswa nkati yake, na mana watishiriki pamope na bembe katika mundandai ya utajiri wa mzeituni,
18 don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
Kana wilumbe ju ndambi. Ila mene kawilumba, wenga liwa winyangata ndandai, ila ndandai ikuyagate wenga.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
Bai lwalongela, “ndambi yatitemelwa lenga nipate pandikizwa mukipeto”.
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
Ayo kweli sababu yokotoka aminiya kwabe bati lemelwa, lakini wenga wayeni imara kwasababu ya imani yako. kana wiwase wamwene kwa aliya kunani sana ila uyogope.
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Mana manaitei Nnongo mene ailekalii ndambi ya asili, huku urumiya lii na wenga.
22 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.
Linga wete, mayenda gana noga na ukaliwa Nnongo kwo pande ngumo, ukale waisi kwa Ayahudi ngabembe batitumbuka. Ila kwo upande wenge, uluma ya Nnongo lwisa kunani yako, mene waigala mu wema wake. malayenge wenga na wenga alowa kukana kutalu.
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Na kai, mana bayendelelwa kwa mwo kutoka aminiya kwambe. Balowa pandikizwa kai mana Nnongo abile nowo uwezo wopandikiza kai.
24 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?
Mana manaitei mwenga mwati temelwa panja kwa uliokwa zamani mzeituni wa mwitu, na chachungu cha zamani mwati pandikizwa mu mzaituni wabe bene.
25 For I don’t 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 Gentiles has come in,
Mana mwalongo nipendi kwa kene mutange, usikakana na siri yee. lenga wete kene mwabe na isima nkati ya wasa kwinu mwabene. Siri yeye ni kuwa nonopa kupitike Israel, mpaka kamilika kwa mataifa pwa kwagapala isa.
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Nanyo Israel bote baokoka, kati mweandikilwe, “buka Sayuni alowaisa jwa kutulopwa. Alowa kubuya ubaya buka kwa Yakobo.
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
Na ate alelya panga lilagano lyango pamope na bembe muda panalowa kwibuya zambi yabe”.
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
kwo upade wenge husu injili, benda kasirika kwaajili yinu. Kwo upande wenge buka na kuchawa kwa Nnongo, batipendelwa kwa mwanza ya kibokulo.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Kwa kuwa sawali ya kemelwa na Nnongo igalambuka kwako.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Kwa mana hapo zamani mwate kunkana nnongo, ila nambe yambe mujogoprte rehma sababu ya asi kwabe.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
Kwa anda yoyo-yo, tubwe aba Ayahudi batiasi. Chakipitike kumbe buka na huruma ya muyaliwite mwenga bendo weza kai pokya rehema.
Mana Nnongo atabite bandu bote muasi, lenga awese kubahurumia bote. (eleēsē g1653)
33 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!
Jinsi mwebile ngolo utajili na hekima na malipwa ga nnongo! Ichunguzika kwako ukumu yake, na ndela ya ichunguzika kwako!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
Mana nyai lwaitangite liwazo lwa Nngwana? au nyai lwabile shauli wake?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
Au nyai lwabijwa kwanza kupeya kilebe Nnongo, lenga alepelwe kai?
