Imulungu ne iwanu wake
1 Nolongesa ghendo, nene na imunu wa Kiristu, silonga ughutsu bae. Ghumoyo ghwangu ghwetoghola hamwe ne Ghumuhe Mwenzelukaka ka nene sighutsuka bae, 2 ka noghanzika sideke na nina usungu ing'aumalagha bae mna ghumoyo ghwangu. 3 Mana ning'adahile kulomba nilighitwe na mbaghulighwe na Kiristu kwaajili ye Wayahudi, iwanu wa kabila lyangu. 4 Awo iwo iwanu wa Isiraeli Imulungu iyawatendile wawe iwanaghe, iyawalanguse utunitso wake, iyalaghane nawo, iyaweng'ile Ghamalaghitso ghake, nzila ya ukumtamanila yeye na malaghano ghake. 5 Wawo wa watsukulu wa iwabala wa Wahebraniya, naye Kiristu, mne unu wake, kalawila mne kabila lyawo. Imulungu iyotawala mna ghose, na yatunyighwe ghamatsuwa ghose! Ona.
6 Chalaghane Imulungu ng'achilekile bae kutimila, kwaapfila si Waisiraeli wose iwo wanu we Imulungu. 7 Na si watsukulu wose wa Abrahamu wa iwana we Imulungu. Lekeni Imulungu tsakamlongela Abrahamu, “Watsukulu wako watsolawila kwa Isaka.” 8 Mana iwana wala iwelekighwe kwa lukuli, awo si iwana we Imulungu bae, ila iwana wala iwelekighwe kwa laghano lya Imulungu awo iwo iwopetighwa iwana wa Abrahamu. 9 Kwaapfila Imulungu tsakeka laghano lyake pfino, “Mne chipindi ichanisaghule nitsakuya na Sara katsakweleka imwana.”
10 Si pfipfo pfiliheka bae, ila Rebeka naye tsakakala na iwana weli kwa aba yumwe, ayo iyo imbala wetu Isaka. 11 Hata ng'ana iwana awo weli welekighwe bae, na ng'ana watende ichinu chochose chinoghile au chihile, Imulungu kakoneka kana uwetso wa kusaghula. 12 Yeye hayosaghula kosaghula ka pfobama mwenyegho, ng'olola bae chayotenda imunu. Imulungu tsakamlongela Rebeka, “Imwana mbala katsomsang'anila imdodo wake.” 13 Ka pfayandikighwe mne Ghamaandiko Mahenzeluka, “Yakobu kaninoghela lekeni Esau nimuhila.”
14 Lelo tulonge choni? Pfii Imulungu kana ubaghutsi? Aka si pfipfo bae! 15 Kwaapfila tsakamlongela Musa,
“Nitsomwonela libatsi imunu yula iyanibama kumwonela libatsi,
nitsomdudumila imunu yula iyanibama kumdudumila.”
16 Apfo, ghose ghouhila libatsi lye Imulungu na si choyobama imunu bae au choyosang'ana imunu. 17 Kwaapfila Ghamaandiko Mahenzeluka gholonga pfino kwa Farao mndewa wa Misiri, “Tsanikutenda uwe mndewa ili nilanguse ngupfu tsangu kubitila ghweghwe na taghwa lyangu limanyike muisi mwose.” 18 Apfo, Imulungu komonela libatsi imunu yula iyobama kumonela libatsi, na iyobama kumtenda yawe msughu komtenda yawe msughu.
Maya na libatsi lye Imulungu
19 Yumwe wenu kodaha kunongela, “Lelo ule Imulungu ang'ali yotulaumu? Yuhi yodaha kughaghoma aghala ghoyobama Imulungu?” 20 Lekeni ghweghwe uli nani, yumwidika Imulungu apfo? Chiha ng'achidaha bae kumghutsa mfina pfiha, “Ule kunenda pfino?” 21 Mfina pfiha kodaha kufina pfiha pfibili kwa lidongo limwe ka pfayobama, chimwe kwa sang'ano ng'ulu ngulu na chingi kwa sang'ano ndodo ndodo.
22 Apfi pfipfo pfaili kwa Imulungu. Tsakabama kulangusa maya yake na ingupfu yake, lekeni tsakawadudumila iwanu wala iwabamighwe wahighighwe na maya yake, awo iwobamighwa kuhinyighwa. 23 Naye imwenyegho tsakabama kuulangusa utunitso wake mkulu, iyaughighidile kuna twetwe itubamighwe kubokela libatsi lyake, twetwe iyatwikile kulawa ghumwande tubokele utunitso wake. 24 Twetwe iwo iyatukemile, si kulawa kwa Wayahudi waliheka bae, ila kulawa kwa iwanu wa isi tsingi pfipfila. 25 Ka Imtwatsa pfayalongile mna chitabu cha nabii Hosea,
“Awala iwali ‘si iwanu wangu bae,’
nitsowakema ‘iwanu wangu.’
Nitsolangusa unoghelo wangu kune
isi tsila ng'ana nitsinoghele bae.”
26 Kuya,
“Hanu hala hawalongelighwe,
‘Mwemwe si iwanu wangu bae,’
baho watsokemighwa iwana we Imulungu iyali mghima.”
27 Pfipfila nabii Isaya kowamanila Waisiraeli hala hayalongile,
“Hata ka iwanu wa Isiraeli wa wengi ka msanga ghuli kumwani,
lekeni wanu wadodo waliheka iwatsokombolighwa.
28 Kwaapfila Imulungu ng'atsokawa bae kuihigha ghendo isi yose.”
29 Ka nabii Isaya pfayalongole kulonga,
“Ka Imtwatsa yane ngupfu ng'atulekele bae mweleko wa Waisiraeli,
wose tung'afile ka iwanu Sodoma, tung'eghalile na iwanu wa Gomola.”
Pauli kowalombela Waisiraeli
30 Lelo tulonge choni? Iwanu iwali si Wayahudi bae, ng'awasang'ane chinu ili woneke ne Imulungu wanogha, tsawoneka ne Imulungu wanogha kwa ukutoghola kwawo, 31 lekeni Waisiraeli, iwabamile ukutogholighwa ne Imulungu kubitila ghamalaghitso, ng'awoneke wanogha kwe Imulungu. 32 Ule ng'awoneke wanogha kwe Imulungu? Kwaapfila tsawehuwila aghala ghawatendile, ng'awehuwile bae ukutoghola. Apfo tsawekwala mne “libwe lya kwikwalila.” 33 Ka pfayandikighwe,
“Nyika libwe ako Sayuni,
nalyo litsowatenda iwanu wekwale,
nyika libwe iliwatenda iwanu waghwe.
Lekeni imunu wowose iyomtoghola ng'atsoghelighwa chinyala bae.”
