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.
Basi nijobha, je, K'yara abhabelili bhanu bha muene? Hata kidusu. Kwa kujha nene kabhele na Mwiisraeli, ghwa lukholo lwa Abrahamu, ghwa likabila lya 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:
K'yara abhabelilepi bhanu bha muene, bhaabhamanyili kuhoma kubhwandeli. Je mumanyilepi liandiku lijobhabhuli kuhusu Eliya, namna kyaan'sihili K'yara panani pa bha Israeli?
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
“Bwana, bhabhakhomili manabii bhajhobhi, ni bhene bhabomuili madhabahu gha jhobhi. Nene ne muene nisiele, ni bhene bhilonda uhai bhwa nene.”
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Lakini lijibu lya K'yara lijobhuli kwa bhebhe? “Nitunzili kwandabha jha nene bhanu elfu saba ambabho bhakampigila lepi magoti Baali.”
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Hata nahu, wakati obho bhwa henu kabhele bhajhele bhabhasiele kwa ndabha jha uchaguzi bhwa neema.
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 jhikajhiajhi kwa neema, sio kabhele kwa matendo, finginefyo neema jhibetalepi kujha kabhele neema.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Kiki kabhele? Lijambo ambalyo Israeli akajha akalilonda, akikabhi lepi, bali bhateule bhakikabhili, ni bhamana bhajhongesibhu uzito.
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.”
Ni kama kyajhilembibhu: “K'yara abhapelili roho jha ubutu, mihu ili bhasibhone, ni mb'ol'okhoto ili bhasipel'eki mpaka lelu ejhe.”
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
Ni muene Daudi ijobha, “Silekajhi meza sya bhene sijhelayi mikwabhu, miteghu, sehemu jha kwikungufula ni kulepesya kisasi dhidi jha bhene.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
Ghalekayi mihu gha bhene ghasopibhwayi ngisi ili bhasibhwesi kulola. Ukabhajhinimisiajhi migongo ghya bhene daima.”
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.
Basi nijobha, “Je, bhakikungufuili bila kubina?” Jhisijhi naha kamwe. Badala jhiake, kwa kusindwa kwa bhene, bhwokovu bhufikili kwa bha Mataifa, ili bhabho bhene bhajhelayi ni bhuifu.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
Henu jhikajhiajhi kusindwa kwa bhene ndo utajiri bhwa ulimwengu ni kama hasara jha bhene ndo utajiri bhwa mataifa, ndo kiasi khelekhu nesu kibetakujha kukamilika kwa bhene?
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
Ni henu nilongela namu bhanu bha Mataifa. Kwa kujha na mtume kwa bhanu bha Mataifa ghangi, ni kwifunila huduma jha jhoni.
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
Labda nibetakubhapela bhwifu bhabhajhele mb'el'e umonga ni nene. Labda twibeta kubhaokola baadhi jha bhene.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Ndabha jhikajhelayi kubelekeli bhwa kwa bhene ndo maridhiano gha dunia, kupokelibhwa kwa bhene kubetakujha bhuli ili bhuomi kuhoma kwa bhafu?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Kama matunda gha kubhwandu ndo akiba, ndo kyajhijhele ku lidonge lya sembe. Kama mzizi ndo akiba, matawi ni ghene.
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 kama baadhi jha matafi ghadumulibhu, kama bhebhe litafi lya mudasi lya misyongoti, bhwapandibhu pagati pa bhene, ni kama ghwashiriki pamonga ni bhene mu mizizi ghya utajiri bhwa misyongoti,
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.
usikitufyi panani pa matafi. Lakini kama ukisifila, bhebhelepi jhaukajhitangatila mizizi bali mizizi ghikutangatila bhebhe.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
Basi wibetakujobha, “Matafi ghadumulibhu ili nikabhayi kupandikisibhwa mu lishina.”
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
Ejhu ndo kweli. Kwa ndabha jha kutokukiera kwa bhene bhadumulibhu, lakini bhebhe ghwajhemili imara kwandabha jha imani jha jhobhi. Usikifikiriri ghwe muene kwa hali jha panani nesu, bali tilayi.
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Kwa ndabha akajhiajhi k'yara aghalekilepi mataifa gha asili, ibetalepi kuhurumila bhebhe kabhele.
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.
Langayi, basi, matendo manofu ni bhukali bhwa K'yara. Kwa lubhafu lumonga, ukalibhwahidili panani pa Bhayahudi ambabho bhabinili. Lakini kwa lubhafu longi bhwema bhwa K'yara bhwihida panani pa jhobhi kam wibeta kudumu mu wema bhwa muene. La sivyo ni bhebhe wibetakudumulibhwa patali.
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Ni kabhele, kama bhibetalepi kujhendelela, mu kutokukiera kwa bhene bhibetakubandibhwa kabhele.
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?
Ndabha K'yara ajhe ni bhuwezo bhwa kupandikisya kabhele. Kwa ndabha jhikajhiajhi muenga mwadumulibhu kwibhala kwa bhujhele bhwa asili jha n'spngoti bhwa mudasi, ni kinyume kya asili mwapandikisibhu mu n'syongoti bhwabhujhele bhunofu, nesu lepi abha Bhayahudi, ambabho ndo kama matafi gha asili kubhwesya kupandikisibhwa kabhele mugati mu mizeituni bhabhu bhene?
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,
Kwa ndabha bhalongo nilonda lepi musimanyi, kuhusiana ni siri ejhe, ili kwamba musijhi ni hekima mu kufikiri kwa jhomu mwebhene. Siri ejhe ndo kwamba bhunonono bhuhomili Israeli, hadi kukamilika kwa mataifa pawibetakuhida.
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.
Efyo Israeli bhoha bhibetakuokolibhwa, kama kyajhilembibhu: “Kuhoma Sayuni ibetakuhida Mkombokozi. Ibetakuubhosya bhuovu kuhoma kwa Yakobo.
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
Ni e'le libetakujha liagano lya nene pamonga ni bhene, panibetakusibhosya dhambi sya bhene.”
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
Ku lubhafu lumonga kuhusu injili, bhidadibhwa kwa ndabha jha muenga. Kwa lubhafu l'ongi kutokana ni bhusalanu bhwa K'yara, bhaganikibhu kwandabha jha bhakhokho.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Kwa kujha zawadi ni bhwitobhwa K'yara bhwibadilika lepi.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Kwa ndabha kubhwandelu muenga mwan'kosili K'yara, henu mujhipokili rehema kwandabha jha kuasi kwa muenga.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
Kwa njela jhejhuejhu, henu abha Bhayahudi bhan'kosili. Matokeo ghake ndo kujha kuhomela ni k'esa jha mupelibhu muenga bhibhuesya kabhele kupokela rehema.
Ndabha K'yara abhadendili bhanu bhoha mu kuasi, ili abhwesiajhi kubhahurumila bhoha. (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!
Namna kyasijhele sibhaha bhutajiri ni hekima ni maaria gha K'yara! Sichunguzika lepi hukumu sya muene, ni njela sya muene sigundulika lepi!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
“Ndabha niani jhaajhimanyili nia jha Bwana? Au niani mshauri ghwa muene?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
Au niani hoti jha ampelili khenu K'yara, ili alepibhwayi kabhele?”
