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.
Mbe enaika, Angu Nyamuanga abhalemele abhanu bhae? Na katyali uli. Kwo kubha anye one nili Mwisilaeli, wo lwibhulo Lwa Ibhulaimu, wo luganda lwa 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:
Nyamuanga hatabhalemele abhanu bhae, abho amenyele okwambila kubhwambilo. Angu mutakumenya elyandiko elyaika chinuki okulubhana na Eliya, lwa kutyo amukomelesishe Nyamuanga ingulu ya Israel?
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
“Latabhugenyi, bhabheta abhalagi bhao, nawe bhona bhafumya ebhigabhwilo bhyao. Anye omwene -ela nanye nasanga, nabho abhayeja obhuwanga bhwani.”
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Mbe nawe lisubhyo lya Nyamuanga elyaikaki kwawe? “Nibhikile ingulu yani abhanu bhiubhi musanju bhanu bhatakumubhumila bhiju Bhaali.”
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Nolwo kutyo, omwanya gunu ogwa woli one bhalio bhanu bhasagile kunsonga yo kusola mu chigongo.
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.
Mbe nawe jikabha mu chigongo, atali lindi mu bhikolwa. kubhindi echigongo chitakubha lindi chigongo.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Mbe nichinuki woli? Echinu chinu Israeli aliga naiiga, atachibhwene, nawe abhasolwa bhachibhwene, na abhandi bhayanilwe bhusito.
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 lwa kutyo jandikilwe: “Nyamuanga abhayae mwoyo gwo bhugunie, ameso koleleki bhasige okulola, na Matwi koleleki bhasige okungwa, kukinga lelo linu.”
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
No mwene Daudi kaika, “Musige jimeja jebhwe na jibhe waya, mitego, kwibhala lwo kwikujula, no kusubhya olusima ingulu yebhwe.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
Siga ameso gebhwe gatelweko echisunte koleleki bhasigo olola. Nubhenamye emigongo jebhwe Kata.”
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.
Mbe woli enaika, “Angu, bhekujuye kukingila okugwa?” Jasiga kubha kutyo kajanende. Amwi nejo, kwo kuigwa kwebhwe, omwelulo gwabhakingiye abhanyamaanga, koleleki abhene bhejule lifuwa.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
Mbe woli kukabha kuli kuigwa kwebhwe ni bhunibhi bhwe Chalo, na alabha okufwilwamo kwebhwe kwa kutyo-ela ni bhunibhi bhwa Maanga, ni bhwafuki kukila kukumila kwebhwe?
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an emissary to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
Mbe woli enaika nemwe abhanu bha Maanga. Kulwo kubha nabhee Intumwa ku bhanu bha Maanga agandi, enikuisha mukufulubhenda kwani.
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
Amwi enichula nimbajisha lifuwa bhanu bhali mubhili gumwi nanye. Amwi echibhakisha abhandi bhebhwe.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Kulwo kubha alabha okulemwa kwebhwe ni mekilishanyo ge Chalo, okulamilwa kwebhwe okubha atiki nakabhee obhuanga okusoka mu bhafuye?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Alabha amatwasho go Kwamba ni bhikilo, nikwo kutyo bhili kwo bhafu bhwa jisyanu. Alabha emisi ni libhikilo, amatabhi one nikwo kutiyo.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in amongst them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
Mbe nawe alabha agandi amatabhi gakatemwa, kuti awe, nawe litabhi lye mwila elyo musheka, linu lwayambilwe agati yebhwe, na nilisangila amwi nabho mu misi jo bhunibhi bhwo musheka,
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.
wasiga kwikuya ingulu ya matabhi. Nawe alabha owikuya, atali awe unu ousakila emisi, nawe emisi ejikusakila awe.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
Mbe nawe owaika, “amatabhi gatemelwe koleleki niyambwe kwi Sina.
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
Ejo ni ja chimali. Kunsonga yo kulema okwikilisha kwebhwe bhatemelwe, mbe nawe awe wemeleguyu ulumile koto kunsonga ye likilisha lyao. Wasiga okwiganilisha muno omwene -ela, nawe ubhaye.
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Kulwo kubha akabha Nyamuanga atagasigile amatabhi go bhusimuka, atakusasila awe one.
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Towards those who fell, severity; but towards you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Mbe, nulole, ebhikolwa bhye kisi no bhululu bhwa Nyamuanga. kwi bhala limwi, obhululu bhunu bhwejile ingulu ya Bhayaudi bhanu bhaguye. Nawe kulubhala lundi, obhwekisi bhwa Nyamuanga bhwejile ingulu yao, nawe ukekomesha mu bhwekisi bhwae. Ukatasikana neJo awe one ulilemelelwa Kula.
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Alabha bhene one bhakalema okugendelela mu bhunyantekilisha bhwebhwe, abhayambwa lindi. Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga ali no bhutulo bhwo kubhayamba lindi.
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?
Kulwo kubha alabha emwe mwatemelwe anja ya bhinu bhuli bhusimuka bhwo musheka gwe mwila no bhutasikene bhwo bhusimuka mwayambilwe ku musheka gunu guli gwe kisi, atali kwiya kafu muno abhayaudi bhanu, bhali lwa matabhi go bhusimuka bhanu abhatula okuyambwa lindi mu masheka gebhwe abhene?
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,
Kulwo kubha bhaili nitakwenda musige okumenya, okulubhana na imbisike inu ati mwasiga okubha no bhumenyi mu okwiganilisha kwemwe abhene. Imbisike inu ni ati obhukomee bhusokele mu Israeli, kukinga mu kukumila kwa Maanga galijila.
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.
Kwibhyo Israeli bhone abhwelulwa, kutyo jandikilwe.”Okusoka Sayuni Kaja omwelusi Kabhumenya obhujabhi okusoka ku yakobo.
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
Na linu elibha elagano lyani amwi nabho, omwanya ogwo nakabhisosheo ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.”
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
Ku lubhala oumwi okulubhana no misango no bhwana, abhabhabhiililwa ku Songa yemwe. Kwo lubhala lundi okulubhana no bhwausi bhwa Nyamuanga, abhene ku Songa ya bhajanji.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Kwo kubha ebhiyanwa no kubhilikilwa kwa Nyamuanga bhutakuyinduka.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Kwo kubha kubhwambilo emwe mwaliga muli bhanyamusi bha Nyamuanga, nawe oli mwachilamila echigongo ku Songa yokunyamula kwebhwe.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
Kwa injila eye yo, Oli Abhayaundi bhanu bhanyamuye. Nawe okumala kwendao ni bha ati okulubhana no kubhasasila bhanu muli na mabhando emwe abhatula one okulamila echigongo.
Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga abhabhoyele abhanu bhone mu bhunyamusi koleleki atule okubhasasila bhone. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways past tracing out!
Lwa kutyo bhili bhikulu kubhunibhi no bhumenyi no bhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga! jitakumenyelwa jindamu jae, na jinjila jae jitakumenyekana!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counsellor?”
“Kwibhyo niga unu kaimenya injila ya Latabhugenyi? Amwi niga unu aliga ali mulwaji wae?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
Amwi niga unu atangatile okumuyana echinu Nyamuanga, koleleki aliywe lindi?
