Bharumi 9
1 Nijobha bhukweli mu Kristu. Nijobha lepi udesi, ni dhamira jha nene jhishuhudila pamonga ni nene mu Roho Mtakatifu,
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 kwamba jhijhelepi huzuni mbaha ni maumifu ghaghabeli kumalika mugati mu muoyo bhwa nene.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
3 Kwamba ninogheleghe ne muene kulaanibhwa ni kutengibhwa patali ni Kristu kwa ndabha jha bhalongo bhangu, bhala bha jamii jha nene mu mb'el'e.
For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren’s sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Bhene ndo Bhaisraeli. Bhabhajhe ni hali jha kujha bhana, bha utukufu, bhwa maaganu, ni zawadi jha sheria, kumwabudu K'yara, ni ahadi.
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
5 Bhene bhalongolesi ambako Kristu ahidili kwa litengu kufuala mb'el'e obho - ambajhe muene ndo K'yara ghwa fyoha. Ni muene atufibhwajhi milele. Amina. (aiōn g165)
whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Lakini sio kujha ahadi sya K'yara sisindilu kutimila. Ndabha sio khila munu jha ajhele Israeli ndo Mwisraeli halisi.
But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:
7 Naha lepi, hata kwa bhuzao bhwa Abrahamu kujha ndo bhanamunu halisi. Lakini, “ni kup'et'ela Isaka uzao bhwa jhobhi wibetakukutibhwa.”
neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 Ejhe ndo kwamba, bhana bha mb'el'e sio bhana bha K'yara. Lakini bhana bha ahadi bhilolelibhwa kujha kama uzao.
That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
9 Ndabha e'le ndo lilobhi lya ahadi: “Mu majira agha nibetakuhida, ni Sara ibetakupelibhwa muana.”
For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 E'le lepi tu, lakini baada jha Rebeka kukabha luleme kwa munu mmonga, Isaka dadi jhitu-
And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac—
11 kwamba bhana bhajhe bhakhona kuhogoleka na ajhele akhetilepi khenu kyokyoha khela kinofu au kibhibhi, ili kwamba kusudi lya K'yara kul'engana na bhusalanu lijhemajhi, Bhwali kwa matendo lepi, lakini kwa ndabha jha jhola jhaikhuta.
for [the children] 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 that calleth,
12 Lijabhibhu kwa muene, “Mbaha ibetakun'tumikila n'debe.”
it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 Kama kyajhalembibhu: “Yakobo nan'ganili, lakini Esau nan'dadili.”
Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
14 Basi kabhele twibetakujobha kiki? Je bhujhe bhudhalimu kwa K'yara? La hasha.
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 Kwa kujha ijobha kwa Musa, “nibetakujha ni rehema kwa jhola jhanibetakundehemu, na nibetakujha ni k'esa kwa jhola jhanibetakun'hurumila.”
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
16 Henu basi, kwandabha jha muene lepi jhailonda, wala ndabha jha muene lepi jhaijumba, lakini kwandabha jha K'yara, ambajhe ilasya rehema.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.
17 Kwa kujha majhandiku ghijobha kwa Farao, “Kwa kusudi e'le maalumu nakujhimuli, ili kwamba nilasiajhi nghofu sya nene kwa bhebhe, ni kabhele ili lihina lya nene litangasibhwayi mu nchi jhioha.”
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.
18 Henu basi, K'yara huwa ijha ni rehema kwa jhejhioha jhaan'ganili, ni kwa ambajhe akan'gana akambeka kujha mkaidi.
So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19 Kabhele wibetakujobha kwa nene, “Kwandabha jha kiki wako na wibhona likosa? Jholeku jha abhwahili kustahimili matakwa gha muene?”
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?
20 Kinyume kyake, mwanadamu, bhebhe ghweniani jhaghwijibu kinyume ni k'yara? Kujha ni bhuwesekanu bho bhuoha bhwa kyakifyogholibhu kujobha kwa mfanyanzi, “Kwandajhakiki ghwanikhetili nene naha?”
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
21 Je mfinyazi huwa ijha ni haki panani pa bhud'opi kutengenesya khenu kwa matumizi maalumu kufwatana ni libonge lelalela, ni khenu kheng'e kwa matumizi gha khila ligono?
Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22 Bhuli kama K'yara, ambajhe ajhe ni bhutayari bhwa kulasya gadhabu jha muene kumanyikana, asindemele kwa bhuvumilifu bhwa kutosha fenu fya gadhabu fyafyaandalibhu kwa kujhangamisibhwa?
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:
23 Bhuli kama abhombili naha ili kwamba alasiajhi bhwingi bhwa bhutukufu bhwa muene panani pa fenu fya rehema ambafyo amalikufiandala kwa ndabha jha utukufu?
and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,
24 Bhuli kama abhombi naha ni kwa muenga kabhele, ambajhe ndo jhaatukhutili sio tu kuhoma kwa Bhayahudi, lakini kabhele kuhoma kwa bhanu bha Mataifa?
[even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
25 Kama kyaijobha kabhele kwa Hosea: “Nibetakubhakuta bhanu bha jhoni, ambabho bhajhelepi bhanu bhangu, ni mpendwa ghwa muene ambajhe aganikibhu lepi.
As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.
26 Na jhibeta kujha kwamba pala ajobhibhu kwa bhene, 'Muenga mwebhanu bha nene lepi,' pala bhibete kukutibhwa bhanu bha K'yara jhaajhe muomi.”
And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.
27 Isaya ilela kuhusiana ni Israeli, “Kama hesabu jha bhana bha Israeli ngajhijhele kama n'sanga bhwa bahari, jhibetakujha ndo masalu ambagho bhibetakiokolibhwa.
And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
28 Kwa kujha Bwana ibetakulitola lilobhi lya muene panani pa nchi, manyata ni kwa bhutimilifu.
for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
29 Ni kama Isaya kyaajobhili kubhuandu, “Kama Bwana ghwa majeshi atulekilepi kumbele uzao kwa ndabha jha tete, ngatujhele kama Sodoma, na ngatubhombibhu kama Gomora.
And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.
30 Tubetajobha bhuli? kwamba bhanu bha Mataifa ambabho bhajhele bhilondalepi haki, bhakabhili haki, haki kwa amani.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:
31 Lakini Israeli, ambajhe elondili sheria jha haki, ajhifikilepi.
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law.
32 Kwandajhakiki naha lepi? Kwandabha bhajhilondilepi kwa imani, bali kwa matendo. Bhakhobhele panani pa liganga lya kukhobhala,
Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
33 kama kyajhelembibhu, “Langayi, niligonisi liganga lya kwikungufula mu Sayuni ni mwamba bhwa kudula. Muene ambajhe ikiera kwa e'le ibetalepi kwikosya soni.”
even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
