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.
Huje eyanga, huje, Ongolobhe abhakhanine abhantu bhakwe? Hata hashe. Hwa huje nane ne Mwiisraeli, wa mshikolo sha Abulahamu, hwi kabela 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:
Ongolobhe zagabhakhene abhantu bhakwe abhamanye afume huwandilo. Je sagamenye izuu liyanga yenu ahusu o Eliya, jinsi sabholele Ongolobhe humwanya ye Israeli?
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
“Ogosi, bhabhagojile ankoha bhaho, bhope bhabomoye pashiputo paho. Nene nimwene esagalye, bhope bhahwaza owomi wane.”
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Lakini ijibu elya Ngolobhe liyanga yenu huliwe? “Embeshele kwaajili yalini abhantu elfu saba ebho sagabhayikhomela amafu gamo Baali.”
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Hata eshi, wakati ou esalezi bhahweli bhabhasagaliye ashilile ouchaguzi wiwenee.
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 kashile huweene, sehuje hwu matendo. Kashile weene sagaibhabhe nantele weene. Yeni bhasi?
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Ahantu ambaho Eisraeli yaliehwaza, sagahajile, huje bhabha chaguliwe bhahajile, nabhamwabho bhabhehwele bhamwamu.
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.”
Nashi sagasimbilwe: “Ongolobhe abhapie opepo ogwasajilwe, amaso huje bhasilole, na makutu huje bhasiyovwe, epaka sanyono eeshii.”
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
Wope o Daudi ayanga, “Leha emeza zyabho nazibhe nyavu, tengo sehemu yaabomelee nalipizye eshisasi hwa bhene bhebho.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
Leha amaso gabho gabhehwe akisi huje bhagajelole. Ubhaundamishe amasana gabhowila.”
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 eyanga, “Huje bhabomelee hata bhagwile egajebhe?” Esho na mwaha. Badala yakwe, amenwe hwabho, olokole ufishe hwa Mataifa, ili bhebho bhene bhabhe nu wivu.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
Nkashile amenwe hwabho hutabhale evya paulimwengu, nakashile hasalayabho atabhale wa mataifa, nazibhabhe zilenga enyinji akamilishe hwabho?
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
Na esalezi eyanga namwe mubhantu bhe Mataifa. Hwa huje enditumwa wa bhantu abhe Mataifa aganje, ehwivunira huduma yane.
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
Labda engabhabhehe owivu gwambele pandwemo nanene. Nkanga tigabhokola bhabha hweli bhamo.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Maana huje akhanile hwabho bhapatene ne dunia, aposhelelwe hwabho haibhawole ila uwomi afume hwaabhafwe?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Nkashire amadondo agapawandilo akiba, shesho sashihweli hwibhomba elye ousu. Nkashile amazi gope akiba, esamba zyope shesho.
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 nkashile zihweli esamba zyazidumulwe, nashi wewe, isamba lya mwipoli elya mzeituni, watotilwe pandwemo nabho, na nkashile wali pandwemo nabjo namumazi age otabhalo hwa mzeituni,
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.
oganje hwintutumule amwanya yemasamba. Lakini nkashile uhwintutumula, nasaga wewe ohwavya mumazi, bali amazi gahumwavya awe.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
Basi ubhayanje, “Amasamba gadumulwe huje epate atotwe mwilende.”
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
Ego gali lyoli. Husababu yakutowiteshe hwabho bhadumule, lakini awe wahemeleye shinza husababu yelweteho lwaho. Ugaje hwise bhelele umwene huhaliyamwanya sana, heli ogopaga.
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Kwa maana nkashile Ongolobhe hagagalesheye amasamba amakolo, sagabhahusajile nawe shesho.
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.
Hwiyenye, basi, amadala amiza nuhali wa Ngolobhe. Na hudwemo humo, okhali wahenzele amwanya ya Ayahudi ebho bhagwiye. Lakini nahudwemo uwamwabho, owiza wa Ngolobhe guweza amwanya yaho, nkashile obhakhale mumiza gakwe. Shoshoti nawe amanye obhatagwe hutali.
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Natele, nkashile sagabhezehwendelele mlweteshelo lyakwe, bhezatotwe natele. Maana Ongolobhe alinagwo ouwezo ogwa totele natele.
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?
Hwa huje amwekashile mwadumulwe hwoze ashilile huhale omzeituni ogwamwipoli, na kinyume shakwe ehale mwa vyalilwe mu mzeituni omwieza, sehuje hwenje sana hwebha Ayahudi, sawa nahuje masamba amakolo gowezya agavyale natele muhati ye mzeituni gabho bhebho?
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,
Hwa huje mwaholo sehwaza huje msimanye afyatane nesiri ene, huje msibhe ne eshinshi nashi asebhanye hwenyu mwemwe. Esiri ene huje okhome guifumilene na Israeli, hadi akamilisye hwa mataifa nahwayiyenza.
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.
Epo aIsraeli yote bhaihwokoha, nashi sagasimbilwe afume: “Afume hu Sayuni ayihwenza Owakhokole. Ayihwefya oubhibhi afume hwa Yakobo.
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
Neli lyayibha malagano gane pandwemo nabhene, ensiku ezyo naihwefye embibhi zyabho.”
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
Ahusuhudwemo humo ashilile iizuu, bhavitilwa hwu sababu yenyu. Hudwemo ohwamwabho ashilile nasalule hwa Ngolobhe, bhagenwe husababu ya amaamaa.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Hwa huje ezawadi nakwiziwe hwa Ngolobhe sagahugaluhana.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Hwa huje ehale amwee mwalimleshile Ongolobhe, lakini esalezi muiposheye ewene hwusababu ya aleshe hwabho.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
Hwidala lyelyo esalezi, ebha Ayahudi bhaleshile. Afumilane nego huuje nesanjilo zya mlinazyo amwe bhawezizye bhope aposhele ewene.
Maana Ongolobhe abhankonjele abhantu woti ashilile huleshe, huje awezizye abhasajile bhoti. (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!
Shahuhweli outabhalo nenshinshi nenjele eya Ngolobhe! Zagapimwapimwa naloonje hwakwe, namadala gakwe sagazimanyiha!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
“Maana yonanu walimenye ilengo lya Gosi? Au yonanu waliyanzi wakwe?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
Au yonanu owakwanza hupele ahantu Ongolobhe, huje alipwe nantele?”
