Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
nijova isa lweli mwa Kilisite. nanijova uvudesi, uvufumbue vwango vulola palikimo nune mwa Mhepo uMwimike,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
kuuti ali nulusukunalo lukome nu lulemasio luno nalusiala nkate ja mwoojo ghwake.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
nale ninoghelua kuuva une nemwene kughunivua na kuseghusivua kutali nu Kilisite vwimila avanyalukolo vango, vala va munyumba jango ku m'bili.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
aveene ve va Silaeli. vano vali nuvwakuvombeka kuuva vaanha va vwimike vwa lulaghilona matekelo gha ndaghilo, kunfunya uNguluve nu lufingo.
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
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)
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
neke nakwekuuti ulufingo lwa Nguluve lukunilue kuvombeka. lwakuva na muunhu ghweni juno ali ku Isilaeli ghwe Msilaeli ghweghwene.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Ndali nambe ku vuholuo vwa Abulahamu kuuva vaanha vake kyekyene. neke kwe kukilila uIsaka uvuholuo vwako vulikemelua”.
8 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.
ulu kwekuuti, avaanha va mb'ili na vaanha va va Nguluve. neke avaanha va lufingo vilolelelevua kuuva vaanha va vuholuo.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
lwakuva ili lye lisio lya lufingo: “mu masiki agha nikwisa, Sala ipelua umwana”
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
na lye ili lyene, neke uRebeka ye apatile uvukunue kwa muunhu jumo, uIsaka ubaba ghwitu,
11 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,
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.
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
jikajovilue kwa mwene kuuti, “umbaha ukum'bombelagha un'debe”.
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
ndavule jalembilue: “uYakovo nilyamughanile, neke uEsau nankalalagha.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
pe tutisagha kiki kange? pe kuli nu vuhosi kwa Nguluve? Ndali!
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
ulwakuva ijova kwa Moose, kuuti, Niiva nu lusaghilo kwa jula juno niiva ninsaghile, kange niiva nulusungu kwa jula juno niiva ninsungile”
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
pe lino na kwekuuti kwa jula juno ilonda nambe kwa jula juno ikimbila. neke vwimila Nguluve juno isoona lusaghilo.
17 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.”
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”
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
pe lino, uNguluve iva nulusaghilo kwa ghwoghwoni juno amughanile, na kwa juno ikumughana, nyamajegho.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
pe ghuliti kulyune, “kiki nifikughwagha unkole? ghwe veeni juno alyavaghile ku nogheluo saake?
20 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?”
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?”
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
pe um'bumbi nsila kyang'haani ku lihanga kutenda ikyombo kino kinoghile kya kutumila kuhumilanila ni lihanga lilalila, ni kyombo ikinge ikyakutumila jaatu?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
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?
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
ndani nave alyavombile ndiki neke kuuti avonesie uvwinga vwa vwimike vwake kyanya ja fikong'hoolo lusungu, fino alyalinganisie vwimila uvwimike?
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
ndani ndeve alyavombile ndiki kange kulyusue, juno kange alyatukemelile nakwekuti kuhuma kuvaYahudi vene neke kange kuhuma ku vaanhu ava pa iisi.
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
ndavule fino ijova kange ku Hosea: nilikuvakemhela avaanhu vango vano navalyale vango, nu mughanike ghwake juno nalyale mughanike.
26 “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.’”
kange jiliiva kuuti, pala panojikajovilue kuveene, umue namuli vaanhu vango' pala vilikemhelua vaanha vwa Nguluve juno mwumi”
27 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;
uIsaya ikujililila iIsilaeli, kuuti, “nave imbalilo ja vaanha va Silaeli jale jiva hwene lihanga lwa lisumbe, ghiva ghe masala ghano ghilivangulua
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
ulwakuva uMutwa ilitola ilisio lyake pa iisi, ng'haning'hani na kuvunywilifu.
29 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.”
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.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
pe tuti kiki lino? kuuti avaanhu ava pa iisi vano navalyale vilonda ikyang'haani, valyapatile ikyang'haani ku lwitiko.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
neke iIsilaeli, juno alyalondagha indaghilo ja kyang'haani naalyajaghile.
32 Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
kiki na uluo? ulwakuva navalyajilondile ku lwitiko, looli ku maghendele. valyakuvile pakyanya pa livue lya kukuvalila,
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
ndavule dino jilyalembilue, “lola nighonisie ilivue lya kukuvalila ku Sayuni nu mwamba ghwa kukosa. umwene juno ikwitika mu ili nailivona soni.
