Romawa 10
1 Mrli vayi, yo sron mu ni bre Bachi, aa ndu ba gbujbu.
Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is—for salvation;
2 Me to ndi bahe ni yo sron ni Rji, ana ndi ba to kpe na.
for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to 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.
for not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
4 Ahi Kristi hi duu u tie ndindi hi ni bi wa ba kpa y'me'a
For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing,
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 describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in them,”
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).
and the righteousness of faith thus speaks: “You may not say in your heart, Who will go up to Heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down)
or, “Who will go down to the abyss?” (that is, to bring up Christ out of 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 saying is near you—in your mouth, and in your heart”: that is, the saying of the faith that we preach;
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.
that if you may confess with your mouth that Jesus [is] LORD, and may believe in your heart that God raised Him out of the dead, you will be saved,
10 Ni sron'a idji kpa y'me nda fe kiklan sron ni nyu ndi bre nda gbujbu.
for with the heart [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
11 Imbe Rji tre ndi, biwa ba kpa y'me'a ishan na tie ba na.
for the Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not be ashamed,”
12 Don Jew baba Greek bana heni kankan na, don Bachi ba'a he riri.
for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling on Him,
13 Idji wa a yo nde Rji ani fe sii.
for “Everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.”
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?
How then will they call on [Him] in whom they did not believe? And how will they believe [on Him] of whom they did not hear? And how will they hear apart from one preaching?
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 they preach, if they may not be sent? According as it has been written: “How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the 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 were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?”
17 Yo sron nihe nitu wo, wo rli ni tre Rji.
So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
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 they not hear? Yes, indeed, “their voice went forth to all the earth, and their sayings to the ends of the habitable 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, did Israel not know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation, By an unintelligent nation I will anger you,”
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 is very bold and says, “I was found by those not seeking Me; I became visible to those not inquiring after Me”;
21 A tre ni Israila ndi, mi n'ma wo mu hi ni ndji bi kawo trre ni hanton.
and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
