Romans 9
1 Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
Kuligitya itai mung'wa Kilisto, singa kuligitya uteele, imasigo ane akoli palung'wi nu ng'waung'welu.
2 that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart —
Kina ukoli ukia ukulu nuuwai nukilinkie munkolo ane.
3 for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ — for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,
Ainihumile kulompa mpegwe isatiko nukuikwa kuli nu Kilisto kunsoko aluna ane, nialuna ane niakimuili.
4 who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
Nianso Aisraeli. Niatulikile kutula ana, au kulu amalagiilyo, ni songeelyo la miko, kumukulya Itunda ni lagiilyo.
5 whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Nianso atongeeli nu Kilisto uzile kua ikulyo kuutugala umuili uwu. Nuanso Tunda wa maintu ihi. Hangi akuligwe mahiku ihi. Amina. (aiōn g165)
6 And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;
Ingi singa kina imalagiilyo ang'wi Tunda alemilwe kupika. Nsoko singi antu ihi niaakoli kihiaku Israeli, iza muisraeli lukulu.
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but — 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
Nukung'wa Abrahamu singa ai wileli wakwe lukulu. Kululo kukiila wileli wang'wa Isaka ukitang'wa.
8 that is, the children of the flesh — these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
Iyi ingi, iana amuili ingi singa ana ang'wi Tunda. Kululo iana nii lago agizilwe anga ana awileli.
9 for the word of promise [is] this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
Kunsoko ingi ulu lukani lilago, “Kumatungo aya nzile, hangi u Sara ukupegwa ung'wana.”
10 And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one — Isaac our father —
Ingi singa lili du, nu Rebeka naiwapantika inda kumuntu ung'wi, Isaka tata witu.
11 (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling, ) it was said to her —
Kina iana aiakili kulelwa, hangi akili kituma lukani lihi nulu za ang'wi nulubi, ingi isigo lang'wi Tunda lihume kutula nu hola ni limike. Hangi singa kua ntendo, ingi kunsoko ang'wa uyo nuitangile,
12 'The greater shall serve the less;'
ailigitigwe kitalakwe, “Umukulu ukumitumila numunino.”
13 according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'
Anga naiyakondigwa kandikwa: “Nimsigile u Yakobo, une u Esau shanumuloilwe.”
14 What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!
Kulunge uli gwa? Ukoli wioneli ne kung'wi Tunda? Kutile.
15 for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'
Kunsoko ukulunga kung'wa Musa, zeee nkete kinyauwai kung'wa uyo ninzize nkite ukinyauwai, hangi nzenzo nkete ukende kung'wa uyo ninzempa ukende.
16 so, then — not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
Ingi gwa singa anga kunsoko ang'wa uyo nulakile, hangi singa kunsoko ang'wa uyo nuimanka, ingi kunsoko ang'wi Tunda uyu nuilagiila nakanda.
17 for the Writing saith to Pharaoh — 'For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
Kunsoko imaandiko alungile kung'wa Farao, kina ainukimikilye kunsoko iyi nihume kulagiila ingulu yane kitalako, Ilina lane litanantigwe ihe ihi.
18 so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
Ang'wi uu uyu nuilowa kupegwa nakanda wipegwa nakanda ikinyauwai nuyu nuilowa kupegwa, wimupeza yaya nakutula wilugoha.
19 Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
Sunga ukulunga kitalane, kuniki nkili neenda ona igazo? Nyenye naulemig'we nimasigo akwe?
20 nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?
Ue ng'wamuntu ue wi nyenyu nukumusukiilya Itunda? Kintu naikiumbilwe kimuile ne uyu naukiumbile ite unene?
21 hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
Ang'wi umuumbi mugila ingulu nia kuhola uulolo nukeehu nukuumba kiseme king'wi kitule kikulyo nikiuya kitule kigila ikulyo.
22 And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
Ntuni gwa naituile Itunda akahia kuteta utaki wakwe, nulagiila uhumi wakwe, akatula nugimya wilu akagumanilya ayo ihi naahumile kitung'wa kua ubi?
23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call — us —
Ingi anga niwitumile iti kina alagiile udu nua ukulu wakwe kuiseme niahumile kulekelwa, izo naiwakondilye kuinonelya kunsoko ukulu?
24 not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
Ingi sese naikitangile, singa iantu aku Ayahudi du, nao nishamumanyile Itunda ne?
25 as also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what [is] not My people — My people; and her not beloved — Beloved,
Anga nauliyo kung'wa Hosea: “Kuitanga iantu ane awa naisinga antu ane, nu mulowa wakwe uyu nishaiwimlowa.
26 and it shall be — in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.'
Hangi ikutula apo nauliiye kitalao, unye sha miantu ane, pang'wanso akitangwa ana ang'wi Tunda numupanga.”
27 And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;
U Isaya nung'wenso wenda pumya uhuli kua Israeli akazelunga, ialo la ana ang'wa Israeli ata lizelidu anga imahalu na muluzi, wawa naiasagie du azegunika.
28 for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.
Kunsoko utata ukuluhola ulukani lakwe nula mihi, hangi ukukaya kulukondya.
29 and according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'
Anga u Isaya nauliiye ung'wandyo, anga Itunda wa uhumi nishaukulekee uwileli kunsoko itu, aikuzetula anga Isodoma, hangi aikuzitung'wa anga i Gomora.
30 What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
Kulunge uli gwa, iantu ao nishaiduma itai, aka lija itai, tai kua uhuili.
31 and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;
U Israeli palung'wi nukumilyata imikononi tai, shaiamisigile nukukela imiko nanso.
32 wherefore? because — not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,
Kuniki ikatula iti? Kunsoko shanga ai akumipenza kwa uhuili, ingi nantendo akakumpa migwe nala ukumpi.
33 according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
Anga naiyakondigwe kandikwa, “Goza, nalilalya igwe la kukumpa mu Sayuni nu migwe nila kuulya. Uyu nukuhuila kua ili shuzizila iminyala.”
