KwabaseRoma 9
1Ngikhuluma iqiniso kuKristu, angiqambi amanga, unembeza wami uyangifakazela ngoMoya oNgcwele;
2Ukuthi ngilosizi olukhulu lobuhlungu obungapheliyo enhliziyweni yami.
3Ngoba bengingathanda ukuthi mina ngokwami ngibe ngoqalekisiweyo kuKristu ngenxa yabazalwane bami, izihlobo zami ngokwenyama;
4Obani abangama-Israyeli; okungokwabo ukuma kwabantwana, nenkazimulo, nezivumelwano, nokunikwa komthetho, nenkonzo kaNkulunkulu, nezithembiso;
5abangababo obaba, avela kubo uKristu ngokwenyama, uNkulunkulu ophezu kwakho konke, obongekayo kuze kube phakade. Amen.
6Kungesikho ukuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lehlulekile. Ngokuba abasibo bonke abakwa-Israyeli abaphuma ku-Israyeli;
7Futhi, ngokuba beyinzalo ka-Abrahama, bangabantwana bonke, kepha kuthiwa: ‘Inzalo yakho iyakubizwa ngo-Isaka.’
8Okungukuthi, labo abangabantwana benyama abasibo abantwana bakaNkulunkulu, kodwa abantwana besithembiso babalwa inzalo.
9Ngoba leli yilizwi lesithembiso: Ngalesisikhathi ngizakuza, njalo uSara uzakuba lendodana.
10Akusikho lokhu kuphela; kodwa uRebeka laye esekhulwe ngoyedwa, uIsaka ubaba;
11(Ngoba abantwana bengakazalwa, bengakenzi okuhle lokubi, ukuze icebo likaNkulunkulu elingokokukhetha lime, lingaveli emisebenzini, kodwa kulowo obizayo);
12Kwasekusithi kuye: Omkhulu uzakhonza omncane.
13njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: UJakobe ngamthanda, kodwa uEsawu ngamzonda.
14Pho siyakuthini na? Kukhona yini ukungalungi kuNkulunkulu? UNkulunkulu akakuvumeli.
15Ngoba wathi kuMozisi: Ngizakuba lesihawu kwengimhawukelayo, njalo ngizakuba lesihawu kwengimhawukelayo.
16Ngakho-ke akusikho kothandayo, noma kogijimayo, kodwa ngokukaNkulunkulu ohawukelayo.
17Ngokuba umbhalo uthi kuFaro: “Ngakumisela khona lokho ukuba ngibonakalise amandla ami kuwe, nokuba igama lami limenyezelwe emhlabeni wonke.
18Ngakho uhawukela lowo athanda ukumhawukela, umenza lukhuni lowo athanda ukumenza lukhuni.
19Ngakho uyakuthi kimi: Usasolelani na? Ngoba ngubani owamelana lentando yakhe?
20Kodwa wena muntu, ungubani wena ophendula ngoNkulunkulu? Okubunjiweyo kungasho yini kowakubumbayo ukuthi: ‘Ungenzeleni kanjalo na?
21Umbumbi akanalo yini igunya phezu kobumba ukuba ngenhlama efanayo enze isitsha esihloniphekayo nesinye esingahloniphekiyo na?
22Uma uNkulunkulu ethanda ukubonakalisa ulaka lwakhe nokwenza amandla akhe aziwe, wathwala ngokubekezela okukhulu izitsha zolaka ezilungiselwe ukubhujiswa;
23ukuze enze yaziwe ingcebo yenkazimulo yakhe ezitsheni zomusa, azilungisele ngaphambili inkazimulo;
24ngitsho thina, asibizayo, kungeyisikho kumaJuda kuphela, kodwa lakwabezizwe?
25Njengokuba esho nakuHoseya ukuthi: “Abangesibo abantu bami ngiyakubabiza ngokuthi abantu bami; nothandiweyo wakhe, obengathandwa.
26Kuyakuthi endaweni lapho kwathiwa kubo: “Anisibo abantu bami; lapho bayakuthiwa abantwana bakaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
27UIsaya umemeza ngoIsrayeli, uthi: Lanxa umumo wabantwana bakoIsrayeli ungangesihlabathi solwandle, insali izasindiswa;
28Ngokuba uyakuqeda umsebenzi, awufinyeze ngokulunga, ngokuba uJehova uyakuwenza umsebenzi omfushane emhlabeni.
29Kunjengoba u-Isaya asho ngaphambili ukuthi: “Uma uJehova Sebawoti engasishiyelanga inzalo, besiyakuba njengeSodoma, sifane neGomora.
30Ngakho siyakuthini? Ukuthi abezizwe ababengadingisisi ukulunga, sebekutholile ukulunga, ukulunga okuvela ekukholweni.
31Kepha u-Israyeli, obelandela umthetho wokulunga, akawufinyelelanga umthetho wokulunga.
32Ngani na? Ngoba kabakufunanga ngokukholwa, kodwa ngokungathi ngemisebenzi yomthetho. Ngokuba bakhubeka etsheni lesikhubekiso;
33njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Khangela, ngibeka eZiyoni ilitshe lokuwisa ledwala lokuwisa;
