Romawa 10
1 Mrli vayi, yo sron mu ni bre Bachi, aa ndu ba gbujbu.
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they may be saved.
2 Me to ndi bahe ni yo sron ni Rji, ana ndi ba to kpe na.
For I bear them witness 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 they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves 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 the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
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 describeth the righteousness which is by the law, That the man who doeth those 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 speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Christ 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 saith it? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth, and in 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.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from 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 with the heart man believeth to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.
11 Imbe Rji tre ndi, biwa ba kpa y'me'a ishan na tie ba na.
For the scripture saith, Whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 Don Jew baba Greek bana heni kankan na, don Bachi ba'a he riri.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich to all that call upon him.
13 Idji wa a yo nde Rji ani fe sii.
For whoever shall call upon 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 call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and 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.
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings 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 obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 Yo sron nihe nitu wo, wo rli ni tre Rji.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word 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, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went 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, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish 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.
But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found by them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not for me.
21 A tre ni Israila ndi, mi n'ma wo mu hi ni ndji bi kawo trre ni hanton.
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.
