< Romawa 10 >
1 Mrli vayi, yo sron mu ni bre Bachi, aa ndu ba gbujbu.
My brethren, (it is) the wish of my heart, and my prayer to Aloha concerning 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 of them that they have zeal for Aloha, but not in 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.
But the righteousness of Aloha they know not, but seek the righteousness of themselves to establish, and on this account to the righteousness of Aloha they have not become subject.
4 Ahi Kristi hi duu u tie ndindi hi ni bi wa ba kpa y'me'a
For the end of the law is the Meshiha unto righteousness in all who believe in him.
5 Musa a nghan nitu ndindi wa'a rji ni ndji, ndji wa a tie ndindi u duu ani son nitu du'a.
FOR Musha thus describeth the righteousness which is of the law, that he who doeth these things shall 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 by faith thus speaketh, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, And bring down the Meshiha?
7 Na tre ndi a ghan ni grji ye ni meme? Ahi ngha ni ji Yesu Kristi rji ni khyu). (Abyssos )
And who shall descend into the deep of Sheul, And bring up the Meshiha from among the dead? (Abyssos )
8 Amma asi tre ndi ge? iji trea he hyehyre ni wu ni mi nyu me ni mi sron me
But what saith it? Nigh thee is the word of thy mouth and of thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which 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.
And if thou wilt confess with thy mouth our Lord Jeshu, and wilt believe with thy heart that Aloha hath raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 Ni sron'a idji kpa y'me nda fe kiklan sron ni nyu ndi bre nda gbujbu.
For the heart which believeth in him is justified, and the mouth which confesseth him is saved.
11 Imbe Rji tre ndi, biwa ba kpa y'me'a ishan na tie ba na.
For the scripture saith, that every one who believeth in him shall not be ashamed.
12 Don Jew baba Greek bana heni kankan na, don Bachi ba'a he riri.
And in this he hath not distinguished nor the Jihudoya nor the Aramoya; for one is the Lord of them all, who is rich toward every one who calleth on him.
13 Idji wa a yo nde Rji ani fe sii.
For every one who shall invoke the name of the Lord shall 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 shall they invoke him in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? Or how shall they hear 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.
Or how shall they preach if they are not sent? As it is written, How beautiful the feet of them who evangelize peace, And who evangelize 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 all of them have not obeyed the preaching of the gospel: for Eshaia saith, My Lord, who hath believed our voice?
17 Yo sron nihe nitu wo, wo rli ni tre Rji.
Therefore faith is from the hearing of the ear, and the hearing of the ear from the word of Aloha.
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, Have they not heard? Behold, in all the earth their voice hath gone forth, And to the ends of the world their words!
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, Hath not Israel known? First, Musha thus speaketh, I will provoke you by a people who is not a people. And by the disobedient people will I 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.
But Eshaia is bold, and saith, I am beheld by them who have not sought me, And found of them who for me have not inquired.
21 A tre ni Israila ndi, mi n'ma wo mu hi ni ndji bi kawo trre ni hanton.
But of Israel he saith, I have stretched out my hands all the day To a contentious and disobedient people.
