Romans 4 (KBV)
1 Lelo chilongeze mbuli za wasaho yetu Bulahimu, kalawiligwa na choni? 2 Kwaviya fana Bulahimu katogoligwa kanoga haulongozi ha Mulungu kwa yaja yoyatendile, yahawile na chinhu cha kuigodela, mbali si haulongozi ha Mulungu. 3 Maandiko Yelile yolonga, “Bulahimu kamuhuwila Mulungu, na kwa ichimu cha kumuhuwila Mulungu kamtogola kanoga haulongozi wake.” 4 Munhu yosang'hana usang'hano, halihigwa fana gweko mbali kolihigwa fana yombe. 5 Mbali wanhu waja hawahuwila sang'hano zawo zinogile, mbali womuhuwila Mulungu yoyowatogola wanyondenyonde kuwa wanoga haulongozi wake, kwa kuhuwila uko Mulungu kowatogola wanoga haulongozi hake. 6 Daudi kalonga chinhu chino chino, viyalongile kumweda kwa munhu ija katogoligwa kanoga haulongozi ha Mulungu bila kulola chiyasang'hane. 7 “Wamweda waja wowalekeleligwe uhasanyi wawo,na uhasanyi wawo usegezigwa! 8 Kamweda munhu ija uhasanyi wake haupetigwa bule na Mndewa!” 9 Vino kumweda kuno kuyolonga Daudi kowalonga waja wengile ulungwana muhala hebu na waja hawanakwingila ulungwana bule? Si ivo bule! Iviya na wanhu hawanakwingizigwa ulungwana. Kwaviya chiwona muna Yamaandiko Yelile, “Bulahimu kamuhuwila Mulungu, na kwa ichimu cha uhuwilo wake, Mulungu kamtogola kanoga haulongozi hake.” 10 Lelo katogoligwa zuwaki? Viyakalile yang'hali hanakwingila ulungwana hebu viyakomeleze kwingila ulungwana? Katogoligwa viyakalile yang'hali hanakwingila ulungwana na si viyakomeleze kwingila ulungwana bule! 11 Hamwande Bulahimu kengizigwa ulungwana, na kwingizigwa ulungwana uko kukala chilaguso cha kulagusa Mulungu kamtogola kanoga haulongozi hake kwa ichimu cha uhuwilo wake viyakalile yang'hali hanakwingila ulungwana. Ivo Bulahimu kawa tata wa wanhu womuhuwila Mulungu hata one hawengile ulungwana muladi Mulungu yawatogole wanoga haulongozi hake. 12 Iviya Bulahimu ni tata wa waja wose wengizigwe ulungwana, na si kwingila ulungwana muhala, mbali na waja wosondelela uhuwilo wa tati yetu Bulahimu uyakalile nawo haja viyakalile yang'hali hanakwingila ulungwana bule. 13 Mulungu kamulaganila Bulahimu na welesi wake kuwa isi yose izakuwa yawo. Wezaihokela isi iyo si kwaviya Bulahimu katenda viyolonda Malagilizo, mbali kwaviya kamuhuwila Mulungu, Mulungu kamtogola kanoga kumwake. 14 Kwaviya one yaja yoyekile chilagano Mulungu wokwing'higwa wanhu wotenda viyolonda Malagilizo, lelo uhuwilo wokuwa si chinhu na iviya chilagano si chinhu. 15 Malagilizo yogala ludoko lwa Mulungu, mbali one habule Malagilizo sigambekuwe na ubananzi. 16 Kwa ivo, chilagano chohuwila uhuwilo, muladi chilagano chiya chiwoneke kuwa chitumetume cha Mulungu kwa nyelesi zose za Bulahimu, si kwa waja muhala wowotenda chiyolonda Malagilizo, mbali iviya kwa waja wokala kwa uhuwilo fana viyakalile Bulahimu tati yetu wose. 17 Fana viya Yamaandiko Yelile viyolonga, “Nikutenda uwe tata wa makabila mengi.” Chilagano icho ni kweli kuulongozi wa Mulungu yoyahuiwiligwe na Bulahimu. Mulungu yowazilibula wanhu wose na kuwagolela ugima, na kwa lagilizo jake vinhu havikalile uko vokuwa uko. 18 Hata vikukalile kwabule chinhu cha kumtenda Bulahimu kuhuwila, Bulahimu kamuhuwila Mulungu na kulolela chilagano, ivo kawa tata wa makabila mengi fana Yamaandiko Yelile viyolonga, “Welesi wako wizakuwa mwingi fana nhondo!” 19 Bulahimu kakala mulala wa habehi wa miyaka gana, mbali uhuwilo wake haihunguke bule, one ihawa kavimanya hadaha kupata mwana, na mke wake Sala hadahile kulela bule. 20 Bulahimu halekile bule kutogola chilagano cha Mulungu, mbali kapata kwa uhuwilo wake, ivo kamtunhiza Mulungu. 21 Kweli kavimanya Mulungu kodaha kutenda yaja yose yoyamulaganile. 22 Lekamana Bulahimu kufosela uhuwilo, “Mulungu kamtogola kanoga haulongozi hake”. 23 Mbuli ino “katogoligwa kanoga haulongozi ha Mulungu,” handikiligwe yeye muhala. 24 Mbali iviya yandikigwa kwa ichimu chetu wochitogoligwe chinoga haulongozi ha Mulungu, wochimuhuwila yeye yoyamzilibule Mndewa wetu Yesu. 25 Yeye kalavigwa muladi yakomigwe kwa ichimu cha uhasanyi wetu, maabaho kazilibuka muladi yadahe kuchitenda chinoge haulongozi ha Mulungu.
