Romans 9
1 I am speaking the truth in Christ; I am not lying. My conscience offers testimony to me in the Holy Spirit,
nijova isa lweli mwa Kilisite. nanijova uvudesi, uvufumbue vwango vulola palikimo nune mwa Mhepo uMwimike,
2 because the sadness within me is great, and there is a continuous sorrow in my heart.
kuuti ali nulusukunalo lukome nu lulemasio luno nalusiala nkate ja mwoojo ghwake.
3 For I was desiring that I myself might be anathemized from Christ, for the sake of my brothers, who are my kinsmen 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 These are the Israelites, to whom belongs adoption as sons, and the glory and the testament, and the giving and following of the law, and the promises.
aveene ve va Silaeli. vano vali nuvwakuvombeka kuuva vaanha va vwimike vwa lulaghilona matekelo gha ndaghilo, kunfunya uNguluve nu lufingo.
5 Theirs are the fathers, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all things, blessed God, for all eternity. 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 that the Word of God has perished. For not all those who are Israelites are of Israel.
neke nakwekuuti ulufingo lwa Nguluve lukunilue kuvombeka. lwakuva na muunhu ghweni juno ali ku Isilaeli ghwe Msilaeli ghweghwene.
7 And not all sons are the offspring of Abraham: “For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.”
Ndali nambe ku vuholuo vwa Abulahamu kuuva vaanha vake kyekyene. neke kwe kukilila uIsaka uvuholuo vwako vulikemelua”.
8 In other words, those who are the sons of God are not those who are sons of the flesh, but those who are sons of the Promise; these are considered to be the offspring.
ulu kwekuuti, avaanha va mb'ili na vaanha va va Nguluve. neke avaanha va lufingo vilolelelevua kuuva vaanha va vuholuo.
9 For the word of promise is this: “I will return at the proper time. And there shall be a son for Sarah.”
lwakuva ili lye lisio lya lufingo: “mu masiki agha nikwisa, Sala ipelua umwana”
10 And she was not alone. For Rebecca also, having conceived by Isaac our father, from one act,
na lye ili lyene, neke uRebeka ye apatile uvukunue kwa muunhu jumo, uIsaka ubaba ghwitu,
11 when the children had not yet been born, and had not yet done anything good or bad (such that the purpose of God might be based on their choice),
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 and not because of deeds, but because of a calling, it was said to her: “The elder shall serve the younger.”
jikajovilue kwa mwene kuuti, “umbaha ukum'bombelagha un'debe”.
13 So also it was written: “I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.”
ndavule jalembilue: “uYakovo nilyamughanile, neke uEsau nankalalagha.
14 What should we say next? Is there unfairness with God? Let it not be so!
pe tutisagha kiki kange? pe kuli nu vuhosi kwa Nguluve? Ndali!
15 For to Moses he says: “I will pity whomever I pity. And I will offer mercy to whomever I will pity.”
ulwakuva ijova kwa Moose, kuuti, Niiva nu lusaghilo kwa jula juno niiva ninsaghile, kange niiva nulusungu kwa jula juno niiva ninsungile”
16 Therefore, it is not based on those who choose, nor on those who excel, but on God who takes pity.
pe lino na kwekuuti kwa jula juno ilonda nambe kwa jula juno ikimbila. neke vwimila Nguluve juno isoona lusaghilo.
17 For Scripture says to the Pharaoh: “I have raised you up for this purpose, so that I may reveal my power by you, and so that my name may be announced to 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 Therefore, he takes pity on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.
pe lino, uNguluve iva nulusaghilo kwa ghwoghwoni juno amughanile, na kwa juno ikumughana, nyamajegho.
19 And so, you would say to me: “Then why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?”
pe ghuliti kulyune, “kiki nifikughwagha unkole? ghwe veeni juno alyavaghile ku nogheluo saake?
20 O man, who are you to question God? How can the thing that has been formed say to the One who formed him: “Why have you made me this way?”
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 And does not the potter have the authority over the clay to make, from the same material, indeed, one vessel unto honor, yet truly another unto disgrace?
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, wanting to reveal his wrath and to make his power known, endured, with much patience, vessels deserving wrath, fit to be destroyed,
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 so that he might reveal the wealth of his glory, within these vessels of mercy, which he has prepared unto glory?
ndani nave alyavombile ndiki neke kuuti avonesie uvwinga vwa vwimike vwake kyanya ja fikong'hoolo lusungu, fino alyalinganisie vwimila uvwimike?
24 And so it is with those of us whom he has also called, not only from among the Jews, but even from among the Gentiles,
ndani ndeve alyavombile ndiki kange kulyusue, juno kange alyatukemelile nakwekuti kuhuma kuvaYahudi vene neke kange kuhuma ku vaanhu ava pa iisi.
25 just as he says in Hosea: “I will call those who were not my people, ‘my people,’ and she who was not beloved, ‘beloved,’ and she who had not obtained mercy, ‘one who has obtained mercy.’
ndavule fino ijova kange ku Hosea: nilikuvakemhela avaanhu vango vano navalyale vango, nu mughanike ghwake juno nalyale mughanike.
26 And this shall be: in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they shall be called the sons of the living God.”
kange jiliiva kuuti, pala panojikajovilue kuveene, umue namuli vaanhu vango' pala vilikemhelua vaanha vwa Nguluve juno mwumi”
27 And Isaiah cried out on behalf of Israel: “When the number of the sons of Israel is like the sand of the sea, a remnant shall 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 shall complete his word, while abbreviating it out of equity. For the Lord shall accomplish a brief word upon the earth.”
ulwakuva uMutwa ilitola ilisio lyake pa iisi, ng'haning'hani na kuvunywilifu.
29 And it is just as Isaiah predicted: “Unless the Lord of hosts had bequeathed offspring, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made similar to 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 should we say next? That the Gentiles who did not follow justice have attained justice, even the justice that is of faith.
pe tuti kiki lino? kuuti avaanhu ava pa iisi vano navalyale vilonda ikyang'haani, valyapatile ikyang'haani ku lwitiko.
31 Yet truly, Israel, though following the law of justice, has not arrived at the law of justice.
neke iIsilaeli, juno alyalondagha indaghilo ja kyang'haani naalyajaghile.
32 Why is this? Because they did not seek it from faith, but as if it were from works. For they stumbled over a stumbling block,
kiki na uluo? ulwakuva navalyajilondile ku lwitiko, looli ku maghendele. valyakuvile pakyanya pa livue lya kukuvalila,
33 just as it was written: “Behold, I am placing a stumbling block in Zion, and a rock of scandal. But whoever believes in him shall not be confounded.”
ndavule dino jilyalembilue, “lola nighonisie ilivue lya kukuvalila ku Sayuni nu mwamba ghwa kukosa. umwene juno ikwitika mu ili nailivona soni.
