Bharumi 9
1 Enaika echimali mu Kristo. Nitakwaika lulimi, no mutima gwani ogumbambalila amwi nanye mu Mwoyo Mwelu,
I say the truth in Meshiha, and lie not; my conscience witnesseth for me in the Spirit of Holiness,
2 ati bhulio obhusulumbae bwafu no bhunyoke bhunu bhutakuwamo mu Mwoyo gwani.
that I have great grief, and (that) the sorrow of my heart ceaseth not.
3 Ati anye nakendele omwene nifumilisibhwe no kutaganywa koleleki nibhe kula na Kristo ingulu ya bhaili bhanu, bhaliya abho luganda lwani mu mubhili.
For I could pray that I myself might be one accursed from Meshiha instead of my brethren and my kinsmen who are in the flesh;
4 Bhenene ni Bhaisraeli. bhanu bhali no kukoleka bhana, bha likusho lya malagano, ne bhiyanwa bhye bhilagilo, okumulamya Nyamuanga ne emilago.
who are the sons of Israel, and whose was the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law, and the ministry, and the promises,
5 Bhenene ni bhanu bhanu bhatangatile bhanu Kristo ejile mu chibhalo no kufwala omubhili gunu- gunu omwene ni Nyamuanga wa bhona. Mwene asimwe kajanende. Amina. (aiōn g165)
and the fathers; and from whom appeared the Meshiha in the flesh, who is Aloha over all: his be praises and benedictions to the age of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Mbe nawe atali ati emilago ja Nyamuanga jasingilwe okukumila. Kulwo kubha atali ati bhuli munu unu ali Israeli ni Mwiisraeli koto.
FOR the word of Aloha hath not really fallen: for not all who are of Israel are Israel;
7 Atali nolwo mu lwibhulo lwa Abrahamu ati ni bhana bhae koto. Mbe nawe, “ni kulabha ku lwibhulo lwa Isaka wae olubhilikilwa.”
neither also are they who are of the seed of Abraham all children; because it was said, In Ishok shall be called unto thee the seed:
8 Jinu na ati, abhana bho mubhili bhatali bhana bha Nyamuanga. Mbe nawe abhana bho mulago abhalolelelwa kuti ni lwibhulo.
but that is, the children of the flesh are not the children of Aloha, but the children of the promise are reckoned the seed.
9 Kulwo kubha gunu nigwo omusango gwo mulago: “Mu mwanya kuti gunu enija, na Sara kajo kuyanwa omwana.”
For the promise is this word, In this time I will come, and a son shall be unto Sara.
10 Litali linu-ela, nawe okumala Rebheka nabhona inda ku munu umwi, Isaka Lata weswe-
And not this only, but also Raphka when with one, our father Ishok, she had association,
11 ati abhana bhaliga bhachali lwibhulo na aliga achali kukola musango gwona gwona gunu guli mukonde amwi mubhibhi, koleleki ati okwenda kwa Nyamuanga okulubhana no bhusosi limelegulu, nolwo atali kulwe bhikolwa, mbe nawe ni kwa insonga ya uliya unu kabhilikila.
before her sons were born, and had not wrought good or evil, the (choice) of Aloha was (made) known before that it should remain: not by works, but by him who called:
12 Jaikilwe ku mwene, “Omukulu alimukolela omutoto.”
for it was said, The elder shall be servant to the less;
13 Lwa kutyo jeishe nijandikwa: “Yakobho namwendele, mbe nawe Esau namubhiililiywe.”
as it is written, Jakub have I loved, and Isu have I hated.
14 Mbe lindi chije chaikeki? Angu bhulio obhunyamuke ku Nyamuanga? Uli nakatyali.
What then say we? Is there iniquity with Aloha? Not so:
15 Kulwo kubha kaika ku. Musa, “Enibha ne chigongo kuyo unu enifwilwa chigongo, na enibha no bhusasisi. kuyo enisasila.”
behold, also, he said unto Musha, I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious.
16 Kulwejo woli, atali kunsonga yo mwene unu Kenda, nolwo atali kunsonga yo mwene unu kabhilima, mbe nawe kunsonga ya Nyamuanga unu kelesha echigongo
Therefore it is not by him who willeth, nor by him who runneth, but by Aloha the Merciful.
17 Kulwo kubha amaandiko agaika ku Farao, “ku nsonga inu abhwelu nakwauye, koleleki ati neleshe amanaga gani kwae, kunsonga ati lisina lyani likumusibhwe mu chalo chona.”
For it is said in the scripture to Pherun, For this I have raised thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
18 Kwibhyo woli, Nyamuanga kabhaga ane chigongo ku wona wona unu Kenda, na ku unu kamwenda, kamukola kubha mutamu-tamu.
Then upon whom he willeth he is merciful, and whom he willeth he hardeneth.
19 Okumala oujo okwaika kwanye, “Kulwaki uchali niwelesha obhunyamuke? Ni uya unu eile okwikomesha mu kwenda kwae?”
Perhaps thou wilt say, Of what then doth he complain; for who shall arise against his will?
20 Mu bhutasikene bhwae, omwana munu, awe nawega unu ousubhya mu bhutasikene na Nyamuanga? Bhulio obhutulikano bhwona bhwona mu chinu chinu chimogelwe okwaika ku mumogi, “Kulwaki wankolele kutya anye?”
Who then art thou, O man, who givest answer against Aloha? Will the mass say to him who formeth it, Why thus hast thou formed me?
21 Angu omumogi one kabhaga ne chimali ingulu ya limoga okukolwa echinu kwo kuchikolela okulubhana na litole lilya lilya, ne chinu chinu kwo kuchikolela bhuli lusiku?
Or, hath not the potter power over his clay, that from the (same) mass he might make vessels, the one to honour, and the other to vileness?
22 Kutiki alabha Nyamuanga, unu ali mu bhwangu bhwo kwelesha lisungu lyae no kukola amanaga gae gamenyekane, ekomesishe kwo kwigumilisha kutyo bhiile ku bhinu bhya lisungu kubhinu bhaliga bhilabhile kwo kusimagisha?
BUT if Aloha, willing to reveal his wrath, and to make known his power, in his much patience bore with the vessels of wrath who were perfected for destruction,
23 Kutiki alabha akolele kutya koleleki ati eleshe obhwafu bhwa likusho lyae ingulu ye bhinu bhye chigongo, lwa kutyo aliya elabhile ingulu ya likusho?
and poured his mercy upon the vessels of mercy who were prepared of Aloha for glory,
24 Kutiki alabha akolele gunu one kweswe, unu one achibhilikie, atali ati okusoka mu Bhayaudi, nawe one okusoka ku bhanu bha Maanga?
who are we, (ourselves) the called, not only of the Jihudoyee, but also of the Gentiles:
25 Lwakutyo Kaila one mu Hosea: “Enibhabhilikila abhanu bhani bhanu bhaliga bhatali bhanu bhani, no mwendwa wae unu aliga atakwendibhwa.
so also in Husha he said, I will call them my people who were not my people, and on those on whom I was not merciful, will I be merciful:
26 Na ejibha ati aliya anu jaikilwe ku bhene, 'emwe mutali bhanu bhani,' Aliya bhalibhilikilwa 'Bhana bha Nyamuanga unu alamile.'”
for it shall be in the place where they were not called my people, there shall they be called the children of Aloha the Living.
27 Isaya kalila okulubhana na Abhaisraeli, “Nolwo obhukumi bhwa bhana bha Israeli bhwakabhee lwo musenyi gwa ku mwalo, one obhubha bhuli bhusago bhunu obhukisibhwa.
But Eshaia proclaims of the sons of Israel: Though the number of the sons of Israel were as the sand which is on the sea, the residue of them shall be saved.
28 Kulwo kubha Latabhugenyi aligugega omusago gwae ingulu ye chalo, bhwangu na kwo kukumisha.
The Lord hath decreed and determined the word, and will perform it upon the earth.
29 Na lwakutyo Isaya aikile mu bhambilo, “Latabhugenyi we bhise atachisigie inyuma olwibhulo ingulu yeswe, chakabhae lwa Sodoma, na cha kakolelwe lwa Gomola.
And as that which Eshaia had said before: Unless the Lord of sebaoth had left to us a residue, as Sedum should we have been, and to Amura have been likened.
30 Mbe echaikaki woli? Ati abhanu bha Maanga bhanu bhaliga bhatakuyeja bhulengelesi, bhabhwene obhulengelesi, obhulengelesi mu kwikilisha.
WHAT then shall we say? That the Gentiles who have not followed after righteousness have attained righteousness, but that righteousness which is of faith:
31 Nawe omuisraeli, unu ayenjaga ebhilagilo mu bhulengelesi, ataikingiye.
but Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, unto the law of righteousness have not attained.
32 Kulwaki jitali kutyo? Kunsonga bhataiyenjele mu kwikilisha, nawe kwe ebhikolwa bhekujuye ingulu ya libhui elyo kwikujula,
For why? Because it was not by faith, but by the works of the law: for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
33 Lwa kutyo jaliga jamalile okwandikwa, “Lola, nimamishe libhui elyo kwikujula mu Sayuni na litale elyo kuyabhya. Mwenene unu kekilisha mu lunu ataliswala.”
as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling And a rock of offence; And whosoever in him shall believe Shall not be ashamed.
