Romawa 10
1 Mrli vayi, yo sron mu ni bre Bachi, aa ndu ba gbujbu.
Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is, that they may get salvation.
2 Me to ndi bahe ni yo sron ni Rji, ana ndi ba to kpe na.
For I give witness of them that they have a strong desire for God, but not with knowledge.
3 Bana to kpe nitu tie ndindi u Rji na, ba wa ndi ba tie ndindi u tu mba, bana nno tumba ni tie ndindi u Rji na.
Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.
4 Ahi Kristi hi duu u tie ndindi hi ni bi wa ba kpa y'me'a
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.
5 Musa a nghan nitu ndindi wa'a rji ni ndji, ndji wa a tie ndindi u duu ani son nitu du'a.
For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.
6 U ndindi waa rji ni yo sron a te ndi, na tre ni sron me ndi, a ngha ni hon hi ni mi shu? (Nda ji Yesu Kristi grji ye ni meme).
But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down: )
Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead: ) (Abyssos g12)
8 Amma asi tre ndi ge? iji trea he hyehyre ni wu ni mi nyu me ni mi sron me
But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart: that is, the word of faith of which we are the preachers:
9 U ta hla ni nyu me ndi Yesu hi Bachi, ndi kpa y'me ni sron me ndi Rji zuu wlude ni be u gbujbu.
Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:
10 Ni sron'a idji kpa y'me nda fe kiklan sron ni nyu ndi bre nda gbujbu.
For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.
11 Imbe Rji tre ndi, biwa ba kpa y'me'a ishan na tie ba na.
Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.
12 Don Jew baba Greek bana heni kankan na, don Bachi ba'a he riri.
And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name:
13 Idji wa a yo nde Rji ani fe sii.
Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.
14 Ba tie niheri nda yo nde Idji wa bana kpau y'me na? Ba tie nihe rli nda kpa y'me ni wa bana taba wo duu ma na?
But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?
15 Ba tie nihe rli nda wo ba tina tre tre Rji ni bawu na? Ba ti ni he rli nda tre tre Rji, idan bana ton bana? To wa ba nghan, “Iza biwa ba ji tre ndindi he bi bange.
And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.
16 Bana wo tre Rjia wawuu mba wu na. Ishaya a m'ye “Bachi, a hi nghan kpa y'me ni ton ndu'a?
But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?
17 Yo sron nihe nitu wo, wo rli ni tre Rji.
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
18 U me m'ye, “Ba na wo na?” E” gbigbi ilan mba he ni mgbumgblu, itre mba hi ni mgbumgblu wawuu.
But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
19 Luwa, mi tre, Israila ban to mu naa? “Musa a tre ndi” Mi ndu yi tie ngu nitu mgbumgblu wa bana to kpe na mi tie ndu ni ba ni ndu sron mbi tie meme.
But I say, Had Israel no knowledge? First Moses says, You will be moved to envy by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish people I will make you angry.
20 Ishaya a vusron nda tre ndi, biwa bana wame na'a ba fe me. Mi tsro tu mu ni biwa bana m'ye me na'a.
And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.
21 A tre ni Israila ndi, mi n'ma wo mu hi ni ndji bi kawo trre ni hanton.
But about Israel he says; All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.
