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.
Bhai ngunabhuya, bhuli a Nnungu bhashikwaakananga bhandunji bhabho? Nng'oo! Pabha nkali nne namwene na Ng'ishilaeli, jwa lukolo lwa a Bhulaimu, kabhila ja a Bhenjamini.
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:
A Nnungu bhangaakananga bhandunji bhabho bhubhaagulenje kuumila bhukala. Eu nkakugamanyanga Majandiko shigabheleketa ga a Eliya? Shibhashite kwaalugulanga Ishilaeli kwa a Nnungu kuti,
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
“Mmakulungwa, bhashikwaabhulaganga ashinkulondola bhenu nibhomola itala yenu. Nepeshe nne jikape, numbe bhapinga mulaganga!”
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Bhuli a Nnungu bhaajangwileje nndi? “Njikwilepesheya bhandunji elupu shabha bhangatindibhalilanga shanamu sha nnungu ashemwa Bhaali.”
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Bhai nneyo peyo nkali agano mobha gano, bhapalinji bhalepekenje bhaagwilwenje kwa nema.
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.
Bhai ibhaga bhaagwilwenje kwa nema, nngabha bhaagwilwenje kwa itendi, na ibhaga bhaagwilwenje kwa itendi, nngabha bhaagwilwenje kwa nema.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Igala nndi? Shindu shibhaloleyangaga Ishilaeli shila bhangashipatanga. Bhashipatilenje ni bhaagwilwenje bhala, ikabheje bhananji ninonopeywa mitima.
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.”
Malinga Majandiko shigalugula, “A Nnungu bhashikwaanonopeyanga mitima jabhonji, Na meyo gabhonji ganalole Na wala makutu gabhonji ganapilikane mpaka lelo.”
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
Na a Daudi gubhashite, “Kalamu yabhonji ibhe lukonji lwya kwaatanjiyanga muyanyata, Na shindu sha kwiikubhala, bhagwanganje ni ukumulwa mboteko.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
Meyo gabhonji gatagwe lubhindu Bhanalolanje. Migongo jabhonji jipinde mobha gowe!”
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.
Bhai ngunabhuya kabhili, bhuli, Bhayaudi bhashinkwiikubhalanga nigwanganga kaje? Ng'oo! Ikabheje kwa lebha kwabhonji, ntapulo uishe ku bhandu bha ilambo ina, nkupinga ashaayene bhakolanje lupimilo.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
Bhai monaga kulebha kwa Bhayaudi kushibha utajili kushilambolyo na kulebha kwabhonji kushibha utajili ku bhandu bhananji bha ilambo ina, bhuli aki jabhonji nngabha shijibhe utajili gwa punda?
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
Bhai, ngunabheleketa na mmanganyanji nninginji nngabha Bhayaudi. Pabha nne ntume jwa bhandunji bha ilambo ina, numbe nne ngunakwiiniya ga liengo lyangu,
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
nkupinga naatendanje ashaalongo ajangu bhammonelanje lupimililo mmanganyanji naatapulanje bhananji munkumbi gwabhonji.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Bhai monaga kukanwa kwabhonji kushilundanya bhandunji na a Nnungu, bhuli kuposhelwa kwabhonji shikubhe nndi, ikabhe gumi ku bhawilenje?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Monaga nnimbu ubhaga gwa ukonjelo, bhai, gakagulago shigabhe ga ukonjelo na litepo libhaga lya ukonjelo na nyambi shiibhe nneyo peyo.
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,
Nyambi ina ya misheituni ishelilwe, nipandishila nyambi ya nsheituni nng'itu. Bhai, mmanganyanji nninginji nngabha Bhayaudi, ni lujambi lwa nsheituni nng'itu. Nnaino nnakwiikonjanga utwenje gwa litepo lya nsheituni gwa nshitalu.
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.
Nnainyegayanje nyambi ishelilwe ila, eu monaga nkuipuna, bhai nkumbushile kuti nngabha mmwe nkujigala litepo, ikabheje litepo ni likunnjigala mmwe.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
Pana shimmelekete kuti, “Nyambi ila yashinkushelwa nkupinga mbandishilwe nne.”
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
Elo! Yashinkushelwa kwa ligongo lya ungakulupalila, ikabheje mmwe nshipandishilwa kwa ligongo lya ngulupai yenu, nnailumbilile ikabhe nnjogope.
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Pabha monaga a Nnungu bhangaaleshelelanga Bhayaudi bhalinginji malinga nyambi iyene, bhuli punkuganishiya shibhammonele shiya mmwe?
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.
Nnole uguja gwa a Nnungu na shibhakuti kalipa kwa bhaagwanganga, ikabheje bhanguja kwenu mmwe, monaga shinnonjeye muuguja gwabho. Bhai ikabhe nneyo, numbe mmwe shinshelwe.
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Nabhalabhonji Bhayaudi bhalekangaga ungakulupalila gwabhonji, shibhapandishilwanje kabhili. Pabha a Nnungu bhanakombola kwapandishilanga kabhili.
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?
Monaga mmanganyanji mwashinkushelwanga kopoka munsheituni nng'itu, gumpandishilwenje munsheituni gwa nshitalu, bhai pangali ukomu ashaayenenji bhashelilwenje, nipandishilwa kabhili munkongo gwabhonji.
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,
Ashaalongo ajangu, nne ngunapinga nshimanyanje ashino shinjubhi shino, nkupinga nnaibhonanje kuti nshikolanga nngomo. Kunonopa kwa mitima ja Ishilaeli pukwaaliji nngabha kwa lonjeya, mpaka bhandunji bha ilambo ina pushibhaamanyanje a Nnungu.
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.
Penepo Ishilaeli bhowe shibhatapulwanje, malinga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo shigataya kuti, “Nkugombola shaishe kopoka ku Shayuni, Shaalushoye lubheleko lwa a Yakobho muilebho yabho.
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
Gegano ni malagano gangu na bhene bhanganyabho pushinaaleshelelanje yambi yabhonji.”
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
Bhai kwa ligongo lya Ngani ja Mmbone bhashibhanganga bhamagongo ajenunji, ikabheje ga agulwa kwabhonji bhaapingwanga na a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya asha nakulu bhabhonji bha bhukala.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Pabha a Nnungu bhakatendebhuka kwa upo yabho wala nshemo gwabho.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Pabha malinga mmanganyanji bhukala shumwaaleshilenje a Nnungu, ikabheje nnaino bhashikummonelanga shiya kwa ligongo lya lebha kwa Bhaishilaeli.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
Nneyo peyo na Bhaishilaeli bhashilebhanga nkupinga kubhonelwa shiya kwenunji, na bhalabhonji bhabhonelwanje shiya.
Pabha a Nnungu bhashikwaatabhanga bhandu bhowe muilebho yabhonji, nkupinga bhaabhonelanje shiya bhowe. (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!
Nnole, shiushite punda upalume gwa lunda na lumanyio lwa a Nnungu! Ukumu yabho jwakwa jwa kombola kwiimanya, wala mipango jabho jwakwa akujimanya!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
Pabha gani aimanyi ng'aniyo ya Bhakulungwa? Eu gani abhapele lunda?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
Eu gani shakombole kwaapa shindu bhenebho, Nkupinga abhujishiywe kabhili shenesho?
