¹Basi, nauliza: je, Mungu amewakataa watu wake? Hata kidogo! Mini binafsi ni Mwisraeli mzawa wa Abrahamu, wa kabila la Benyamini.

¹Tinpatz' êre, ¿ma xe'tz'ektânâc laj Israel xban li Dios chi jo'canan? ¡Chi yâl nak inc'a'! Lâin ajcui' aj Israel lâin ut lâin ralal xc'ajol laj Benjamín ut laj Abraham.

²Mungu hakuwakataa watu wake aliowateua tangu mwanzo. Mnakumbuka yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu juu ya Eliya wakati alipomnung'unikia Mungu kuhusu Israeli:

²Li Kâcua' Dios inc'a' quixtz'ektâna lix tenamit, li quixsiq'ueb ru junxil chok' ralal xc'ajol. ¿Ma inc'a' nequenau c'a'ru tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu chirix laj Elías nak quitijoc chiru li Dios chixjitbaleb laj Israel? Quixye:

³"Bwana, wamewaua manabii wako na kubomoa madhabahu yako. Ni mimi tu peke yangu niliyebaki, nao wanataka kuniua?"

³At Kâcua', quilaje'xcamsi lâ profetas ut quilaje'xjuc' lâ artal; lâin xincana injunes ut jo'can ajcui' lâin, te'raj incamsinquil.

⁴Je, Mungu alimjibu nini? Alimwambia: "Nimejiwekea elfu saba ambao hawakumwabudu Baali."

⁴Li Dios quichak'oc ut quixye re: Sic'bileb ru inban cuukub mil chi cuînk chok' cue. Eb a'an inc'a' que'xcuik'ib ribeb chixlok'oninquil li yîbanbil dios aj Baal, chan.

⁵Basi, ndivyo ilivyo pia wakati huu wa sasa: ipo idadi ya waliobaki ambao Mungu aliwateua kwa sababu ya neema yake.

⁵Jo'can ajcui' sa' eb li cutan a'in. Cuan ajcui' li quixsiq'ueb ru li Dios riq'uin lix nimal ruxtân usta moco q'uiheb ta.

⁶Uteuzi wake unatokana na neema yake, na si kwa sababu ya matendo yao. Maana, kama uteuzi wake ungetegemea matendo ya watu, neema yake haingekuwa neema tena.

⁶Moco riq'uin ta xyehom xbânuhomeb nak quixsiq'ueb ru. Yal riq'uin ban lix nimal ruxtân li Dios nak quixsiq'ueb ru. Cui ta quixsiq'ueb ru sa' xc'aba' xyehom xbânuhomeb, a'an mâcua' raj chic xban xnimal ruxtân li Dios.

⁷Sasa, je? Watu wa Israeli hawakukipata kile walichokuwa wanakitafuta; lakini wote walioteuliwa walikipata. Wengine walipumbazwa,

⁷Nakaq'ue retal nak moco chixjunileb ta laj Israel que'xtau rusilal li Dios li yôqueb chixsic'bal. Ca'aj cui' li sic'bileb ru que'xtau, usta moco q'ui eb ta. Ut li jun ch'ôl chic que'cacuubresîc lix ch'ôleb ut inc'a' que'xbânu li quiraj li Dios.

⁸kama yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu: "Mungu ameifanya mioyo yao kuwa mizito, na mpaka leo hii hawawezi kuona kwa macho yao wala kusikia kwa masikio yao."

⁸Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Que'canabâc xban li Dios jo' eb li âleb xch'ôl li inc'a' neque'xtau xyâlal. Cuanqueb xnak' ru ut inc'a' neque'ril c'a'ru li us. Cuanqueb xxic ut inc'a' neque'raj rabinquil lix yâlal. Chalen anakcuan inc'a' neque'raj xtaubal xyâlal. (Isa. 29:10)

⁹Naye Daudi anasema: "Karamu zao na ziwe mtego wa kuwanasa, waanguke na kuadhibiwa.

⁹Tz'îbanbil ajcui' sa' li Santil Hu li quixye laj David nak quitijoc: Eb li nink'e neque'xbânu chisuk'îk taxak chok' raylal sa' xbêneb. Raylal taxak tâchâlk sa' xbêneb re nak te'xtoj rixeb lix mâqueb li yôqueb chixbânunquil.

¹⁰Macho yao yatiwe giza wasiweze kuona. Migongo yao ipindike kwa taabu daima!"

¹⁰Che'môyk ta li xnak'eb ru re nak inc'a' chic te'ilok, ut inc'a' te'xtau xyâlal. Che'c'utzlâk ta li rixeb chi junaj cua xban li raylal li yôkeb chixc'ulbal. (Sal. 69:23)

¹¹Basi, nauliza: je, Wayahudi wamejikwaa hata wakaangamia kabisa? Hata kidogo! Kutokana na kosa lao ukombozi umewajia watu wa mataifa mengine, ili Wayahudi wapate kuwaonea wivu.

¹¹Lâin ninye nak usta que'xtich rib laj judío, inc'a' que't'ane' chi junaj cua. Naraj naxye nak usta que'xtz'ektâna li Cristo eb laj judío toj naru te'pâbânk ut te'colek'. Xban nak que'xk'et râtin li Dios eb laj judío, jo'can nak li colba-ib quiq'uehe' reheb li mâcua'eb aj judío re nak eb laj judío te'xrahi ru li colba-ib ut te'xpâb li Cristo.

¹²Kosa la Wayahudi limesababisha baraka nyingi kwa ulimwengu, na utovu wao kwa kiroho umeleta baraka nyingi kwa watu wa mataifa mengine. Basi, ni dhahiri zaidi kwamba utimilifu wao utasababisha baraka nyingi zaidi.

¹²Xban nak que'xk'et li râtin li Dios eb laj judío, li rusilal li Dios quiq'uehe' reheb chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och'. Reheb raj laj judío li osobtesîc, aban que'xtz'ektâna. Jo'can nak quiq'uehe' reheb li mâcua'eb aj judío. Ut k'axal cui'chic li sahil ch'ôlejil takac'ul nak te'pâbânk lix q'uialeb laj judío ut te'q'uehek' sa' ajl sa' kayânk lâo li ac colbilo.

¹³Basi, sasa nawaambieni ninyi watu wa mataifa mengine: Maadamu mimi nimekuwa mtume kwa watu wa mataifa mengine, ninajivunia huduma yangu,

¹³Anakcuan tinâtinak êriq'uin lâex li mâcua'ex aj judío. Lâin taklanbilin xban li Dios chixyebal resil li colba-ib êre. Ut ninq'ue xlok'al lin c'anjel.

¹⁴nipate kuwafanya wananchi wenzangu wawaonee ninyi wivu, na hivyo nipate kuwaokoa baadhi yao.

¹⁴Mâre chi jo'can te'yot'ek' xch'ôleb laj judío li cuech tenamitil ut te'xpâb li Cristo jo' xebânu lâex ut te'colek'.

¹⁵Maana ikiwa kukataliwa kwao kulisababisha ulimwengu upatanishwe na Mungu, itakuwaje wakati watakapokubaliwa na Mungu? Wafu watafufuka!

¹⁵Xban nak que'tz'ektânâc laj judío, li mâcua'eb aj judío que'c'ame' sa' usilal riq'uin li Dios. Ut k'axal numtajenak li xlok'al nak eb laj judío te'colek'. Chanchan te'cuaclîk chak chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak.

¹⁶Ikiwa kipande cha kwanza cha mkate kimewekwa wakfu, mkate wote umewekwa wakfu; mizizi ya mti ikiwa mizuri, na matawi yake huwa mazuri pia.

¹⁶Cui k'axtesinbil sa' ruk' li Dios li xbên caxlan cua na-el, k'axtesinbil ajcui' lix comon. Ut cui k'axtesinbil sa' ruk' li Dios lix xe' li che', k'axtesinbil ajcui' chixjunil li ruk'. A'in naraj naxye: Xban nak li Dios quixsic' ru laj Abraham, jo'can nak sic'bil ajcui' ruheb li ralal xc'ajol.

¹⁷Naam, baadhi ya matawi ya mzeituni bustanini yalikatwa, na mahali pake tawi la mzeituni mwitu likapandikizwa. Ninyi watu wa mataifa mengine ndio hilo tawi la mzeituni mwitu; na sasa mnashiriki nguvu na utomvu wa mzeituni bustanini.

¹⁷Texinjuntak'êta riq'uin li che' olivo. Eb laj judío chanchan li châbil che' aubil ut ch'olaninbil chi us. Aban cuan li ruk' qui-isîc ut a'an retalil eb laj judío li que'tz'ektânan re li Cristo. Ut lâex li mâcua'ex aj judío chanchanex li ruk' li che' li moco aubil ta. Yal xjunes quimok chak. Ut anakcuan yôquex chi tz'akônc riq'uin li usilal li quiyechi'îc re laj Abraham xban li Dios.

¹⁸Basi, msiwadharau wale waliokatwa kama matawi! Na, hata kama kuna la kujivunia, kumbukeni kwamba si ninyi mnaoitegemeza mizizi, bali mizizi ndiyo inayowategemeza ninyi.

¹⁸Jo'can nak mexnumta chiru li ruk' li che' li que'isîc xban nak lâex yal ruk'ex ajcui' li che'. Chenauhak nak moco lâex ta nequexq'uehoc xyu'am lix xe' li che', aban lix xe' naq'uehoc êyu'am lâex.

¹⁹Lakini utasema: "Matawi yalikatwa kusudi mimi nipandikizwe mahali pake."

¹⁹Mâre têye lâex, que'isîc li ruk' li che' re nak lâo toletzek' sa' xna'ajeb.

²⁰Sawa! Yalikatwa kwa sababu ya kukosa imani, bali wewe unasimama kwa imani yako. Lakini usijivune; ila uwe na tahadhari.

²⁰Yâl ajcui' nequeye, aban xban nak inc'a' neque'pâban jo'can nak que'isîc. Ut lâex chic quexletze' sa' xna'ajeb a'an xban nak nequexpâban. Jo'can nak chexucua ru li Dios ut mênimobresi êrib.

²¹Kwa maana, ikiwa Mungu hakuwahurumia Wayahudi ambao ni kama matawi ya asili, je, unadhani atakuhurumia wewe?

²¹Cui li Dios quirisi eb laj judío, li tz'akal ruk' li che', ¿ma toja' ta chic lâex inc'a' texrisi cui inc'a' texpâbânk?

²²Kumbuka, basi, jinsi Mungu alivyo mwema na mkali. Yeye ni mkali kwa wale walioanguka, na ni mwema kwako wewe ikiwa utaendelea katika wema wake; la sivyo, nawe pia utakatwa.

²²Cheq'uehak retal nak k'axal châbil li Dios, abanan najosk'o' ajcui' sa' xbêneb li neque'tz'ektânan re li Cristo. Riq'uin cacuil âtin narakoc âtin sa' xbêneb li neque'k'etoc re li râtin. Châbilak êriq'uin lâex cui texcuânk junelic sa' li rusilal. Cui inc'a' nequexcuan sa' li rusilal tex-isîk ajcui' lâex.

²³Nao Wayahudi, hali kadhalika; wakiacha utovu wao wa imani, watapandikizwa tena. Maana Mungu anao uwezo wa kuwapandikiza tena.

²³Jo'can nak cui eb laj judío te'pâbânk, eb a'an te'letzek' cui'chic sa' lix tônaleb. Li Dios nim xcuanquil chixc'ulbaleb cui'chic ut chixcuybal lix mâqueb.

²⁴Ninyi watu wa mataifa mengine, kwa asili ni kama tawi la mzeituni mwitu, lakini mmeondolewa huko, mkapandikizwa katika mzeituni bustanini mahali ambapo kwa asili si penu. Lakini, Wayahudi kwa asili ni kama mzeituni bustanini, na itakuwa jambo rahisi zaidi kwao kupandikizwa tena katika mti huohuo wao.

²⁴Lâex mâcua'ex aj judío, nequexinjuntak'êta riq'uin li che' olivo li yal quimok chak. Quex-isîc riq'uin li che' a'an ut quexletze' sa' li aubil che'. Eb laj judío nequebinjuntak'êta riq'uin li tz'akal ruk' li che' olivo li aubil. Inc'a' ch'a'aj nak te'letzek' cui'chic xban li Dios riq'uin li aubil che' xban nak a'aneb tz'akal ruk' li che'.

²⁵Ndugu zangu, napenda mjue ukweli huu uliofichika msije mkajiona wenye akili sana. Ukaidi wa Wayahudi ulikuwa ni wa muda tu, mpaka watu wa mataifa mengine watakapokuwa wamemfikia Mungu.

²⁵Ex hermân, nacuaj nak tênau jun li na'leb mukmu nak quicuan, li quic'utbesîc chak xyâlal chicuu. Cui tênau a'in inc'a' tênimobresi êrib riq'uin xc'oxlanquil nak cuan êna'leb.

²⁶Hapo ndipo taifa lote la Israeli litakapookolewa, kama yesemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu: "Mkombozi atakuja kutoka Sioni, atauondoa uovu wa Yakobo.

²⁶Jo'can nak te'colek' chixjunileb laj Israel jo' tz'îbanbil retalil sa' li Santil Hu li quixye li Dios: Aran Sión tâchâlk chak laj Colonel ut a'an tixcuy xmâqueb li ralal xc'ajol laj Israel. (Isa. 59:20-21)

²⁷Hili ndilo agano nitakalofanya nao wakati nitakapoziondoa dhambi zao."

²⁷Ut lâin tincuyeb xmâc jo' quinye reheb nak quinq'ue li contrato reheb junxil. (Isa. 27:9)

²⁸Kwa sababu wanaikataa Habari Njema, Wayahudi wamekuwa adui wa Mungu, lakini kwa faida yenu nyinyi watu wa mataifa. Lakini, kwa kuwa waliteuliwa, bado ni rafiki wa Mungu kwa sababu ya baba zao.

²⁸Xban nak eb laj judío que'xtz'ektâna li colba-ib, moco cuanqueb ta sa' usilal riq'uin li Dios. A'an quic'ulman re nak texpâbânk lâex li mâcua'ex aj judío. Abanan li Dios naxraheb laj judío sa' xc'aba'eb lix xe'tônil yucua'eb xban nak eb a'an ac sic'bileb chak ru xban li Dios.

²⁹Maana Mungu akisha wapa watu zawadi zake na kuwateua, hajuti kwamba amefanya hivyo.

²⁹Li Dios inc'a' naxjal xc'a'ux riq'uin li c'a'ru naxyechi'i ke, chi moco naxjal xc'a'ux nak quixsic' ku.

³⁰Hapo awali ninyi mlikuwa mmemwasi Mungu, lakini sasa mmepata huruma yake kutokana na kuasi kwao.

³⁰Ut lâex, li mâcua'ex aj judío, lâex aj k'etol râtin li Dios nak quexcuan chak. Ut eb laj judío que'xk'et ajcui' chak râtin li Dios. Jo'can nak lâex chic x-uxtânâc êru xban li Dios.

³¹Hali kadhalika, kutokana na huruma mliyojaliwa ninyi, Wayahudi wanamwasi Mungu sasa ili nao pia wapokee sasa huruma ya Mungu.

³¹Eb laj judío que'xk'et chak râtin li Dios. Abanan tâcuulak xk'ehil nak te'pâbânk ut te'uxtânâk ajcui' ruheb xban li Dios jo' nak x-uxtânâc êru lâex.

³²Maana Mungu amewafunga watu wote katika uasi wao ili wapate kuwahurumia wote.

³²Li Dios quiril nak chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och' aj mâqueb. Jo'can nak quixcanabeb chixbânunquil lix mâusilaleb xbaneb lix k'etba âtin. Aban toj cuan ajcui' ruxtân li Dios sa' xbêneb.

³³Utajiri, hekima na elimu ya Mungu ni kuu mno! Huruma zake hazichunguziki, na njia zake hazieleweki! Kama yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu:

³³Relic chi yâl nak k'axal numtajenak li ruxtân li Dios. A'an naxnau chixjunil. Numtajenak cui'chic lix na'leb. Mâ ani nata'oc ru chanru nak narakoc âtin. Ut mâ ani nata'oc ru li naxbânu.

³⁴"Nani aliyepata kuyajua mawazo ya Bwana? Nani awezaye kuwa mshauri wake?

³⁴Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Mâ ani nana'oc re xc'a'ux li Kâcua'. Mâ ani naru naq'uehoc xna'leb. (Isa. 40:13-14)

³⁵Au, nani aliyempa yeye kitu kwanza hata aweze kulipwa tena kitu hicho?"

³⁵Mâ ani naru naq'uehoc c'a'ru re li Dios re nak tâq'uehek' ta cui'chic rêkaj re xban li Dios. (Job 35:7; 41:11)Chixjunil li c'a' re ru cuan, riq'uin li Dios nachal chak. Li Dios quiyîban re chixjunil ut a'an aj êchal re chixjunil. Lok'oninbil taxak li Kâcua' Dios chi junelic k'e cutan. Jo'can taxak.

³⁶Kwa maana vitu vyote vyatoka kwake, vyote vipo kwa uwezo wake na kwa ajili yake. Utukufu na uwe kwake hata milele! Amina.

³⁶Chixjunil li c'a' re ru cuan, riq'uin li Dios nachal chak. Li Dios quiyîban re chixjunil ut a'an aj êchal re chixjunil. Lok'oninbil taxak li Kâcua' Dios chi junelic k'e cutan. Jo'can taxak.
