Mulungu na wanhu zake
1 Niye nolonga ukweli, niye na munhu wa Kilisito, avo siviza bule. Moyo wangu, kwa kuitogolela na Loho Yang'alile, wonongela kamba silonga uvizi bule.
2 Nolonga vino, kwavija nonyunyuwala ng'hani na usungu uli muumoyo haumala bule,
3 mbuli ya Wayahudi wayangu, na wanhu wa lukolo lwangu, mbuli ya kuwataza nahadahile kupula niduiligwe na Mulungu na mbaguligwe na Kilisito.
4 Awo wao Wayahudi, wasaguligwe na Mulungu wawe wanage, kawalagusila ukulu wake, kailagana nao, kawagwaa Malagizo gake, na vija viwolondeka kumtambikila na gaja gayalongile.
5 Awo wao wazukulu wa wahenga wa Waebulania, nayo Kilisito muuunhu wake kalawa mulukolo lwao. Mulungu yotawala mna ivose, yatogoligwe siku zose! Ona.
6 Silonga bule Mulungu kalemelwa kutenda kija kiyalongile, kwavija siyo wanhu wose wa Izilaeli wao wanhu wa Mulungu.
7 Vivija siyo lukolo lose lwa Abulahamu wao wanage Mulungu. Kwavija Mulungu kamulongela Abulahamu, “Lukolo lwako lolawa kwa Isaka.”
8 Avo siyo wana wose wa Abulahamu waleligwe kwa lukuli wao wana wa Mulungu, lakini wana waleligwe kubitila kija kiyalongile Mulungu, awo wao lukolo lwa Abulahamu.
9 Kwavija kija kiyalongile Mulungu acho kino, “Mna ikipindi kinogile nobwela na Sala kolela mwana.”
10 Na haimalile baho bule, ila Lebeka kalela wana wabili kwa tata imoja, nayo iyo Isaka muhenga wetu.
11 Lakini wana wao wabili wang'hali hawanavumbuka na wang'hali hawanajuwa kutenda ganogile hebu gehile, muladi Mulungu yaoneke kana udahi wa kusagula,
12 na yahasagula kosagula kamba viyolonda mwenyego, na siyo mbuli ya kija kiyatendile munhu, lakini kwa kija kiyalongile, “Imkulu komsang'hanila imdodo.”
13 Kamba Maandiko Gang'alile vigalonga, “Nimnogela Yakobo, lakini nimwihila Esau.”
14 Vino tulonge choni? Mulungu kobagula? Bule habagula bule.
15 Kwavija kamulongela Musa, “Nomtendela ganogile munhu yoyose inimulonda, na nomonela bazi munhu yoyose inimulonda.”
16 Avo kila kinhu chotamanila bazi da Mulungu siyo viyolonda munhu hebu viyosang'hana munhu.
17 Kwavija Maandiko Gang'alile gomulongela vino Falao, “Niye nikutenda mndewa, muladi kubitila gweye ndaguse udahi wangu na twaga jangu dijuwike mwiisi yose.”
18 Avo, Mulungu komonela bazi munhu yoyose yoomulonda na komtenda munhu yoyose yoomulonda yawe mdala kutogola.
Bazi na ng'hasiliki za Mulungu
19 Lakini imoja wenu konilongela, “Kamba vino vivo ili, habali Mulungu kolonga tubananga? Nani yodaha kugalema goyolonda Mulungu?”
20 Gweye mbwigangu kwa nani umwidika Mulungu? Vino kitumbe chodaha kumuuza munhu yakilumbile, “Habali unilumbile vino?”
21 Avo munhu yalumbile kitumbe kodaha kukisang'hanila kamba viyolonda. Kodaha kulumba vitumbe vibili muulongo uuja, kitumbe kimoja kwa sang'hano ng'hulu na kiyagwe kwa sang'hano ndoo ndodo.
22 Vivo ili kwa kija kiyatendile Mulungu. Kalonda kulagusa ng'hasiliki yake na kutenda udahi wake ujuwike, lakini kafunga umoyo na kuwonela bazi wanhu wose walondeke kutagusigwa, wanhu walondeke kubanangigwa.
23 Nayo mwenyego kalonda kulagusa ukulu wake, viyatonele bazi tweye wanhu zake, yatusagule toka mwaka tubokele ukulu wake.
24 Avo tweye twa wanhu tukemigwe, siyo kulawa kwa Wayahudi waiyeka, lakini vivija kulawa kwa wanhu haweli Wayahudi.
25 Kamba viyolonga Mndewa mkitabu cha mtula ndagu Hosea,
“Wanhu haweli wangu,
nowakema, ‘Wanhu zangu.’
Ija simnogele,
nomkema, ‘Nomnogela.’
26 Na hanhu hawalongeligwe, ‘Hamwili wanhu zangu,’
baho wokemigwa wana wa Mulungu yeli mgima.”
27 Nayo Isaya mtula ndagu wa Mulungu kalonga kwa kukemelela mbuli ya wanhu wa Izilaeli, “Hata kamba wanhu wa Izilaeli wengi kamba msanga wa mhwani, lakini wanhu wonda wakomboligwe wokuwa wadodo.
28 Kwavija Mndewa kolopola kumambukiza kuwatagusa wanhu wa mwiisi.”
29 Kamba Isaya viyalongile ako kukisogo, “Maza Mndewa yeli na udahi sambi yatulekele wanhu wayagwe mulukolo, twahabanangike kamba wanhu wa Sodoma na Gomola.”
Paulo kowapulila kwa Mulungu wanhu wa Izilaeli
30 Avo tulonge choni? Wanhu haweli Wayahudi hawatendile kinhu muladi watendigwe wanoge mgameso ga Mulungu, lakini kwa kumtamanila, Mulungu kawatenda wanoge mgameso gake.
31 Wanhu wa Izilaeli wakalile wozahila malagizo muladi watendigwe wanoga na Mulungu, lakini hawagapatile malagizo ga kuwatenda wanoge mgameso ga Mulungu.
32 Habali hawagapatile? Hawagapatile kwavija hawekile tamanilo jao kwa Mulungu lakini watamanila gaja gawakalile wosang'hana. Avo waikwala, “mwiing'walo ya dibwe.”
33 Kamba vigolonga Maandiko Gang'alile,
“Loleni nokwika dibwe ako Sayuni
donda diwatende wanhu waikwale,
dibwe kulu donda diwalagaze wanhu.
Lakini munhu yoyose yonda yamtogole honda yagwe kinyala.”
