Louma 10
1 Na fi dunu! Na asigi dawa: su huluane na dogo ganodini amoga, na hanai da na fi dunu ilia gaga: su ba: mu. Amo hou ilia dawa: ma: ne, Na da Godema sia: ne gadolala.
My friends, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for my people is for their salvation.
2 Na dilima dafawane sia: sa! Ilia da Godema hanaiwane hawa: hamomusa: dawa: lala. Be ilia hanai hou bai da bagade dawa: su hame.
I can testify that they are zealous for the honor of God; but they are not guided by true insight,
3 Gode Ea hou amoga e da dunu gogolema: ne olofole, bu moloidafa hamoi ba: sa, amo hou ilia hame dawa: Be ilia amo mae dawa: le, ilisu ilia logo eno fodomusa: dawa: lala. Amaiba: le, Gode Ea houdafa amoga e da dunu afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi ba: sa, amo hou ilia nabawane hame hamoi.
for, in their ignorance of the divine righteousness, and in their eagerness to set up a righteousness of their own, they refused to accept with submission the divine righteousness.
4 Yesu Gelesu da hamoiba: le, wali Sema da dagoiwane ba: sa. Amaiba: le, nowa dunu da dafawaneyale dawa: sea, lalegagusia, Gode da amo dunu afadenene moloidafa hamoi ba: sa.
For Christ has brought Law to an end, so that righteousness may be obtained by everyone who believes in him.
5 Mousese da Sema hou amo huluane hamobeba: le, Gode da dunu moloidafa ba: sa, amo hou dawa: beba: le, amane dedei, “Nowa da Sema sia: huluane nabawane hamosea, e da esalumu.”
For Moses writes that, as for the righteousness which results from Law, those who practice it will find life through it.
6 Be dunu da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da amo dunu afadenei moloidafa ba: sa, amo olelemusa: , Ea Sia: da amane dedei diala, “Dia dogo ganodini, ‘nowa da Hebene sogega heda: bela: ?’ amane mae adole ba: ma.” (Bai ninia Hebene sogega heda: le, Yesu Gelesu ninima bu gudu sa: imusa: misa: ne sia: mu da hamedei.)
But the righteousness which results from faith finds expression in these words: ‘Do not say to yourself “Who will go up into heaven?”’ (which means to bring Christ down)
7 Eno da amane adole ba: mu da defea hame, “Nowa da bogoi soge amoga gudu sa: ima: bela: ?” (Bai Gelesu Ea bu bogole, wa: legadolesimu da hamedei.) (Abyssos g12)
‘or “Who will go down into the depths below?”’ (which means to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos g12)
8 Be Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Gode Ea sia: ida: iwane gala da di gadenene diala. Amo sia: da dia lafi da: iya diala amola dia dogo ganodini diala!” Amola ninia da amo dafawaneyale dawa: su sia: olelesa.
No, but what does it say? ‘The message is near you, on your lips and in your heart’ (which means ‘The message of faith’ which we proclaim).
9 Di da dia lafidili, “Yesu da Hina Godedafa!” amo sia: sea, amola dia dogo ganodini Yesu Ea bogoi da: i hodo Gode da wa: legadolesi amo dafawaneyale dawa: sea, di da Gode Ea gaga: su hou ba: mu.
For, if with your lips you acknowledge the truth of the message that JESUS IS LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Bai ninia dogo ganodini dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da nini afadenei bu moloidafa hamoi ba: sa. Amola amo dafawaneyale dawa: su hou ninia lafidili sia: sea, ninia da Gode Ea gaga: su hou ba: mu.
For with their hearts people believe and so attain to righteousness, while with their lips they make their profession of faith and so find salvation.
11 Gode Sia: da amane dedei diala, “Nowa dunu da Yesu Gelesu Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: sea, amo da hame da: i diomu amola hame gogosiamu.”
As the passage of scripture says – ‘No one who believes in him will have any cause for shame.’
12 Amo sia: da dunu huluane ilia hou olelesa. Bai Gode da Yu dunu amola Dienadaile dunu, hisu hisu hame ba: sa. Huluane da Ea gaga: su hou defele ba: sa. Gode da dunu huluanedafa ilima Hina Godedafa esala. Nowa dunu da Gode e fidima: ne Ema wele sia: sea, E da huluane defele hahawane dogolegele fidisa.
For no distinction is made between the Jew and the Greek, for all have the same Lord, and he is bountiful to all who invoke him.
13 Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Nowa da Hina Godedafa Ea fidisu lama: ne wele sia: sea, e da Ea gaga: su ba: mu.”
For everyone who invokes the name of the Lord will be saved.
14 Be ilia Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale hame dawa: sea, ilia da Ema wele sia: mu hamedeiwane ba: mu. Amola sia: hame nabi galea, ilia dafawaneyale dawa: mu hamedeiwane ba: mu. Amola dunu eno da ilia lafidili sia: hame olelesea, ilia nabimu da hamedeidafa.
But how, it may be asked, are they to invoke one in whom they have not learned to believe? And how are they to believe in one whose words they have not heard? And how are they to hear his words unless someone proclaims him?
15 Amola Gode da sia: olelesu dunu hame asuna ahoasea, eno dunuma sia: olelemu da hamedeiwane ba: mu. Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Olelesu dunu ilia sia: moloidafa gaguli maha, amo ili mabe ninia da hahawane ba: sa.”
And how is anyone to proclaim him unless they are sent as his messengers? As scripture says – ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’
16 Be dunu huluanedafa da amo Sia: Ida: iwane Gala nababeba: le, mogili ilia da hame lalegagui. Musa: balofede dunu Aisaia da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Nowa da ninia sia: ne iasu dafawaneyale dawa: bela: ?”
Still, it may be said, everyone did not give heed to the good news. No, for Isaiah asks – ‘Lord, who has believed our teaching?’
17 Amaiba: le, dunu ilia Gode Ea sia: nababeba: le, dafawaneyale dawa: sa. Amola dunu eno ilia lafidili Yesu Gelesu Ea hou olelesea, dunu eno da Gode Ea sia: ida: iwane naba.
And so we gather, faith is a result of teaching, and the teaching comes in the message of Christ.
18 Be na da agoane adole ba: sa. Yu dunu ilia dafawanedafa Gode Ea Sia: nabibala: ? Dafawane! Ilia da nabi dagoi! Bai Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Ilia lafidili sia: da osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane ilima asi dagoi. Ilia sia: da osobo bagade be huluane amoga doaga: i dagoi.”
But I ask ‘Is it possible that people have never heard?’ No, indeed, for – ‘Their voices spread through all the earth, and their message to the ends of the world.’
19 Na da bu adole ba: sa. Isala: ili dunu da Gode Ea Sia: gega nabi be noga: le hame dawa: digibela: ? Mousese hisu da Gode sia: dedei amane, “Na da dunu fi hamedei agoane amo ganodini hawa: hamomuba: le, Na fi dunu mudama: ne hamomu. Gagaoui fi amo ganodini Na hawa: hamosea, Na fi da ougiwane ba: mu.”
But again I ask ‘Did not the people of Israel understand?’ First there is Moses, who says – ‘I, the Lord, will stir you to rivalry with a nation which is no nation; against an undiscerning nation I will arouse your anger.’
20 Be Aisaia, e da baligili gasawane Gode sia: amane olelei, “Dunu fi amo da Na hame hogoi, ilia da Na ba: i dagoi. Ilia da Nama misa: ne Nama hame adole ba: i. Be Na da ilima doaga: i.”
And Isaiah says boldly – ‘I was found by those who were not seeking me; I made myself known to those who were not inquiring of me.’
21 Be Gode da Isala: ili fi ilia hou olelema: ne, amane sia: i, “Eso huluane mae yolesili, Na da hame nabasu dunu amola hihisu dunu, amo dunu fi yosia: musa: , Na lobo ilua: su. Be hamedei.”
But of the people of Israel he says – ‘All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who disobey and contradict.’
