Romans 9

Ukungakholwa kwamaIsrayeli kuyadabula

1Ngikhuluma iqiniso kuKristu a, kangiqambi manga, isazela sami sifakazelana lami ngoMoya oNgcwele b, 2ukuthi ngilokudabuka okukhulu, lobuhlungu obungapheliyo enhliziyweni yami c. 3Ngoba ngingafisa ukuthi d mina uqobo ngiqalekiswe kuKristu ngenxa yabazalwane bami e, izihlobo zami ngokwenyama f; 4abangamaIsrayeli g, okungokwabo ukuma kwabantwana h, lenkazimulo i, lezivumelwano j, lokunikwa komlayo k, lenkonzo kaNkulunkulu l, lezithembiso m, 5abangababo obaba n, njalo avela kubo o uKristu ngokwenyama p, ophezu kwakho konke q, uNkulunkulu r obongekayo kuze kube nininini. Ameni s.

Ukukhethwa kwamaIsrayeli nguNkulunkulu

6Kodwa kakunjengokuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lehlulekile t. Ngoba kakusibo bonke abavela kuIsrayeli, abanguIsrayeli u; 7njalo kungesikuthi ngoba bayinzalo kaAbrahama, bonke bangabantwana v; kodwa: NgoIsaka inzalo izabizelwa kuwe w. 8Lokhu kutsho ukuthi, kakusibo abantwana benyama, bona bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu; kodwa abantwana besithembiso bathiwa yinzalo x. 9Ngoba ilizwi lesithembiso yileli elokuthi: Ngalesisikhathi ngizafika, njalo uSara uzakuba lendodana y.

10Kakusikho lokhu kuphela z, kodwa loRebeka esekhulelwe ngomunye, ubaba wethu uIsaka; 11ngoba abantwana bengakazalwa, bengakenzi okuhle loba okubi aa, ukuze icebo likaNkulunkulu elingokokukhetha lime, kungaveli emisebenzini ab, kodwa kuvele kobizayo ac, 12kwatshiwo kuye ukuthi: Omkhulu uzakhonza omncinyane ad, 13njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: UJakobe ngamthanda ae, kodwa uEsawu ngamzonda af.

UNkulunkulu ulesihawu; ulokubusa konke

14Pho-ke sizakuthini? Kukhona ukungalungi kuNkulunkulu yini ag? Phinde ah! 15Ngoba uthi kuMozisi: Ngizakuba lomusa kwengilomusa kuye, njalo ngimhawukele engimhawukelayo. 16Ngakho kakusikho kothandayo, njalo kakusikho kogijimayo, kodwa ngokukaNkulunkulu olesihawu ai. 17Ngoba umbhalo uthi kuFaro aj: Ngakuphakamisela khona lokho, ukuze ngibonakalise amandla ami ngawe, njalo ukuze ibizo lami litshunyayelwe emhlabeni wonke. 18Ngakho uhawukela lowo athanda ukumhawukela; njalo amenze abe lukhuni lowo athanda ukumenza lukhuni ak. 19Ngakho uzakuthi kimi: Usasolelani? Ngoba ngubani ongamelana lentando yakhe al? 20Hatshi bo am, wena muntu, ungubani wena ophikisana loNkulunkulu an? Okubunjiweyo kungatsho yini kowakubumbayo ukuthi: Wangenzelani ngabanje ao? 21Kumbe umbumbi ap kalagunya yini phezu kwebumba aq, ukuthi ngesigaqa sisinye enze isitsha esinye esihloniphekayo, lesinye esingahloniphekiyo ar? 22Njalo uba uNkulunkulu ethanda ukubonakalisa ulaka lwakhe, lokwazisa amandla akhe, wathwala ngokubekezela okukhulu as izitsha zolaka at ezilungiselwe ukubhujiswa au; 23njalo ukuze azise inotho yenkazimulo av yakhe phezu kwezitsha zomusa aw, ayezilungisele ngaphambili inkazimulo ax, 24ngitsho thina, asibizileyo ay, kungeyisikho kumaJuda kuphela, kodwa lakwabezizwe az? 25Njengalokhu akutsho lakuHoseya: Abangeyisibo abantu bami ngizababiza ngokuthi ngabantu bami; lowayengathandwa ngokuthi ngothandekayo ba; 26njalo kuzakuthi, endaweni lapho okwathiwa khona kubo: Kalisibo abantu bami bb, khona lapho bazabizwa ngokuthi ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ophilayo bc. 27LoIsaya umemeza ngoIsrayeli esithi: Lanxa inani labantwana bakoIsrayeli lingangetshebetshebe lolwandle bd, insali izasindiswa be; 28ngoba uzaqeda isenzo ▼
▼ isenzo: kumbe,  indaba.
 asiqume ngokulunga; ngoba iNkosi izakwenza isenzo siqunywe ngokuphangisa emhlabeni bg. 29Njalo njengoba uIsaya watsho ngaphambili ukuthi: Uba iNkosi yamabandla ibingasitshiyelanga inzalo bh, besizakuba njengeSodoma, njalo besizakwenziwa sifanane leGomora bi.

AmaIsrayeli ehluleka ukugcina umlayo

30Pho sizakuthini? Ukuthi abezizwe bj abangadingisisi ukulunga bk, bakubambile ukulunga bl, ukulunga-ke okungokholo bm; 31kodwa uIsrayeli, edingisisa umlayo wokulunga bn, kawufinyelelanga bo umlayo wokulunga bp. 32Ngani? Ngoba kabadingisisanga ngokholo, kodwa ngokungathi ngemisebenzi yomlayo; ngoba bakhubeka bq elitsheni lokukhubekisa br, 33njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Khangela ngibeka eSiyoni bs ilitshe lokukhubekisa bt ledwala lokuwisa bu; laye wonke okholwa kuye kayikuyangeka bv , bw.
