1 Nolonga ikweli na silonga uvwizi kwavija nie na hamoja na Kilisto, na udaho wangu wa kusambula gehile na ganogile hamoja na Loho wa Mulungu vosindila mbuli zino. 2 Moyo wangu umema usungu mkulu na giogio dilibule nziga 3 sama ya wanhu zangu, wandugu zangu wa Kiyahudi kwavija kamba nihadahile, nilonda nie mwenyego nihadukumizwe na kusegezigwa kulawa ha Kilisto kamba mkutenda vino wahakomboligwe. 4 Wanhu wa Islaeli, watendigwe wana, wagweleligwe yenzi ya Mulungu, wagweleligwe malagano, wagweleligwe Malagizo ga Musa, wagweleligwe mhome ya kumtambikila Mulungu, na wagweleligwe vilagano. 5 Hewo wao vilangizi, na kulawa kumwao kalawilila Kilisto mmbuli ya lukuli. Na Mulungu, ayo yotawala vinhu vose, yayenzigwe milongo yose! Amina.

6 Si kamba Usenga wa Mulungu uhumwa. Kwavija si wanhu wose wolawa mulukolo lwa Waislaeli wao Waislaeli kweli. 7 Sio wose wolawa mulukolo lwa Ablaham wanage Ablaham kwavija Nyandiko Zing'alile zolonga, “Kubitila Isaka, lukolo lwako lokemigwa.”[a] 8 Nhegulo yake iyo ino, sio wana wa lukuli wa Ablaham wali wana wa Mulungu, ila wana wa kilagano wao wopetigwa kamba lulo lukolo lwa Ablaham. 9 Kwavija vino vivo ikilagano vikilonga, “Kamba kipigiti kikino mulao ukwiza nobweleganya, na Sala kowa na mwana mbigalo.”[b]

10 Sio gano geiyeka, kinhu kilingile na kino kimulawilila Lebeka ahaja viyapatile inda ya wana wabili kulawa ha mbigalo imwe, yokemigwa Isaka tata wetu. 11 Hata viwakalile hawanavumbuka, ama hawanatenda kinhu chochose kinogile ama kihile, giladi ija iyamulondile Mulungu kumsagula yapatikane, 12 sio sama ya gaja gayatendile, ila kubitila lukemo lwake, Lebeka kalongeligwa, “Mkulu komsang'hanikila mdodo.”[c] 13 Kamba viyandikigwe Mzinyandiko Zing'alile, “Yakobo nimnogela, ila Esau nimwihila.”[d]

14 Avo, tulongeze? Kuna uzenzeleganye ha Mulungu? Si vivo! 15 Kwavija kamulongela Musa, “Nomgela kumgongo ayo inimulonda kumgela kumgongo, na nomonela bazi ayo inimulonda kumonela bazi.”[e] 16 Avo, haitamanila vija viyosulukila munhu ama vija viyokiiyoha, ila yotamanila bazi da Mulungu. 17 Kwavija Nyandiko Zing'alile zomulonga Falao, “Nikwinula sama ya kulagusa mhiko zangu mgati yako, giladi twaga jangu dipetigwe kila hanhu muisi.”[f] 18 Avo, Mulungu komonela bazi, munhu yoyose yoolonda kumonela bazi, na komgela moyo udala, munhu yoyose yoolonda kumgela moyo udala.

19 Abaho moniuza, “Habali Mulungu yang'hali yotulonga? Yalihi yodaha kugadulukila gaja goyolonda?” 20 Ila gweye iyo munhu yalihi hata um'bamilile Mulungu? Kinhu kitendigwe kimulongele ayo yakitendile, “Habali kunitenda nie kamba vino?”[g] 21 Vino muumbi hadaha kulamula kuumba kulawa mditonge dimwe da ulongo kia kimwe kisinyo, na kia kiyagwe cha sang'hano za mazua gose?

22 Vivija hata kamba Mulungu kana udaho wa kulagusa lusango lwake na mhiko zake, ila heyo kowazaganya ng'hani awo yoowonela lusango, awo walumbile kubanangigwa. 23 Na ihawile vilihi kamba katenda gano giladi yatende ugoli wa yenzi yake utangigwe mwa awo wapatile bazi jake, awo yawatandile yenzi yake, 24 na hata tweye yatukemile, sio kulawa ha Wayahudi weiyeka, ila vivija kulawa ha Wamhazi? 25 Kamba viyalongile muna ikitabu cha Hosea,

30 Avo, tulongeze? Wamhazi, awo walekile kuzahila kuwa bule uzenzeleganye, wasegezeligwa uzenzeleganye kubitila nhamanila. 31 Ila Waislaeli, wakalile woiyoha mkuzahila kuwa bule uzenzeleganye mkugawinza Malagizo ga Musa, hawapatile kuwa bule uzenzeleganye. 32 Habali hawapatile? Kwavija hawakuzahile kubitila nhamanila, ila kubitila kugagoga Malagizo ga Musa. Waikwangwala hana didibwe da kuikwala. 33 Kamba viyandikigwe Mzinyandiko Zing'alile,
