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 is for them, that they may be saved.
2 Me to ndi bahe ni yo sron ni Rji, ana ndi ba to kpe na.
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for 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 being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 Ahi Kristi hi duu u tie ndindi hi ni bi wa ba kpa y'me'a
For Messiah is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
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 writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by 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).
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up into heaven?' (that is, to bring Messiah down);
or, 'Who will go down into the deep?' (that is, to bring Messiah up 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 message of faith that we proclaim;
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 acknowledge with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from 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, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.
11 Imbe Rji tre ndi, biwa ba kpa y'me'a ishan na tie ba na.
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
12 Don Jew baba Greek bana heni kankan na, don Bachi ba'a he riri.
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.
13 Idji wa a yo nde Rji ani fe sii.
For, "Whoever will call 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 have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a proclaimer?
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 unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace, who bring good 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 did not all listen to the Good News. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
17 Yo sron nihe nitu wo, wo rli ni tre Rji.
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Messiah.
18 U me m'ye, “Ba na wo na?” E” gbigbi ilan mba he ni mgbumgblu, itre mba hi ni mgbumgblu wawuu.
But I ask, isn't it rather that they did not hear? On the contrary, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest parts 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 ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is not a people. I will make you angry with a foolish nation."
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.
Isaiah is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me."
21 A tre ni Israila ndi, mi n'ma wo mu hi ni ndji bi kawo trre ni hanton.
But as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
